"Vala! Get your ass in here! Help me jam this lever!" yells Robin.
GM..Kashka |
Vala attempts to make her way back to Robin.. but finds the corridor full of her allies...
Agriver fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 Agriver holds the door, as well as attempting to breathe the poison as little as possible.

Ansel Meadsodden |
Ansel blunders out of the narrow hall and into the room of dismantled constructs. He falls to a knee and retches again. "Ugh! That dirty bastard!"
Yon Li'l |
Yon lets Rbuod lead out of the funnel. Then exits himself. Falling a little further than Ansel, but retching beside him as the smell hits him.
Turning back towards the door, he shouts, "Move it! He might have something coming from the other side soon that'll trap us like a snake."
GM..Kashka |
Robin sees the three allies fall out of the turnstyle still retching... brushing the snow off their arms.

Robin L'il |
"Agriver! Vala! Get in here so I can close this... door!" Robin yells. He activates his spring-loaded wrist sheath to pop out his [i]wand of cure light wounds, and heals Ayame with it. He then makes an effort at holding the lever down.

Ayame L'il |
Ayame looks back at Robin as the healing energy washes over her. She stays, guarding her manling, ignoring the babble he previously told her.
Ansel Meadsodden |
"Coming from the cold gas to this warm air... damn does it burn m'lungs..." The dwarf grimaces as he takes labored breaths, "..this a##$%!% really loved the creations we broke... can't say I'd ov had a different reaction m'self... if ya'll romped into m'shoppe takin off marble heads..." Ansel strangely finds himself able to sympathize with the violent and dramatic enemy wizard.
Vala Tinkersmith |
Vala stumbles through the turn, her hand clenched over her mouth in a vain attempt to not vomit. Upon crossing the threshold into the room the the smells and sounds of her comrades his her and she lets loose.
"Damn magic users.." She grumbles between heaves.
Agriver Rall |
Agriver puts one vambrance over his mouth and grabs his blade with his other as he crunches through the ice and snow amidst the putrid filth.
His legs grow tired at the edge of the storm and he makes a silent plea to his goddess to shield his health for one more push.
GM..Kashka |
The party manages to continue their retreat with Agriver following closely behind them , but still in the hail and fog...

Robin will tap Ayame with his wand once more, while continuing to maintain his hold on the lever. "Vala, as soon as you are done puking your guts out, perhaps you could see if we can jam this lever?" He then throws the lever to the "down" position, so as to turn the corridor away from the cloud.
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
STR check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Ansel Meadsodden |
Ansel moves deeper into the room and leans against the wall for stability.
Agriver Rall |
"Ansel, I must admit this is my first encounter with a wizard like that. Do they all wield such power? It half killed most of our group with a pair of gestures and some foul words - are there countermeasures that can be taken to defend us from his arcane power?"
Walking into the room and witnessing the putrid effects and stench of vomit he stops at Robin and places a hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you for the quick thinking" comments the paladin as the grace of Iomadae washes over the parties ranger.
Lay on Hands, Greater Mercy: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 2, 2) = 12
Looking to the rest. "When your senses recover, heal up and prepare to purge that sinner back to the nine hells.."
If time permits Agriver will pull one of his meditation crystals out to recharge his lay on hands - which would put him at 7 available

Ansel spits and cleans his beard, "Aye, many of m'colleagues went the same path as this fellow. The power of the arcane mysteries is real. Some find a sick purpose in it, apparent godhood over their choice of some pitiful realm much like that hermit and this here floor. I'm lucky I found purpose else where before encountering the more powerful magics... There is a way, to counter his actions, but I didn't come prepared for that task. M'afraid our best option might just be acting swifter than him, and to that I can aid." Ansel glances around nervously, trying to gauge through his nausea where everyone was at after that mess of an engagement.
Vala Tinkersmith |
Vala nods in agreement to Robin's request --- between retches. She stumbles in that direction though, continuously spewing curses in addition to her lunch.
several more rounds of nausea
Robin L'il |
"Guys, finish your hurling and get ready. I am sure he'll find a way to get this thing moving unless we can jam it somehow." shouts Robin.
GM..Kashka |
Agriver - i misread your post - did you want that LoH on yourself? you double moved and weren't close enough to touch Robin regardless.

Vala takes the small map she made out of her pocket between dry heaves - her lunch long gone. After looking at it - "There might be a back way into that room if we try the first turn style door we came across"
Agriver Rall |
.misread the situation, didn't heal last round due to double move - the heal was meant for Robin.
Agriver moves through the debris and lays hands on Robin letting the healing energy wash over him
Lay on Hands, Greater Mercy on Robin: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 1, 5) = 14
"Be on your guard..."
6 LoH remaining, 4 crystals charged
Ansel Meadsodden |
Ansel glances between Vala and Agriver, then between the two doors of the room. "You thinking.... if we can go around, he could go around?... Starting to feel trapped, I don't like it."
No action, just moving towards being able to cast again one round at a time.
Robin L'il |
"Thank you, Agriver. I will stay here and hold the lever, for now.
"Ayame, would you please guard Vala for the moment? She doesn't look like she can defend herself right now."
commanding Ayame, readying an action to hold the lever.
STR Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
"Ansel! You're a wizard! What should we expect from this douchebag?"
Ansel Meadsodden |
Ansel is taken aback, more used to a quiet studio than a warring dungeon.
"Uh, Fireballs, illusion tricks like Mirror Image. That's what I'd do. He's out numbered so he'll want the jump and to do big damage to all of us. Distract us to save his hide. He builds these things, but maybe he can summon help as well.. If we have time to get well I can make Vala invisible, cast Haste on us all, slow him down or blind him when he comes.." he rambles off intimidated by the Ranger.
Robin L'il |
"I can cast resist energy. Twice. Three with my pearl. One's Ayame's, though." grunts Robin.
Agriver Rall |
"I have never seen a fireball before, but it sounds unpleasant. Do what you must, but stay near - Vala once your senses clear maybe take to the shadows and find the fiend."
With a grim look he sneers - "My zeal will be sated.... soon"
Yon Li'l |
"Well if he can summon more, we can too..." Yon says, and adds, "Just give me a minute to get over the smell."
GM..Kashka |
Yon stops retching long enough to take a deep breathe.. Ayame's spine hackles as she growls at the open door where the gold plated enemy appears...
"This is my domain. I Klarkosh will destroy you." and he casts another familiar spell... A pouring of hail and snow bombard the party again...
damage: 3d6 + 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 3) + (2, 6) + 3 = 19 8 cold, 11 bludgeoning
As the cold settles in and the ground gets slick.. his emerald automaton appears and moves into the room.

and deals a devestating body slam into the wall where Rboud collapses in his own vomit...

'Reduce the number of opponents, and destroy the ones left...' thinks Robin. 'When faced with spellcasters, ready shots to disrupt their spells.'
Robin, thinking quickly, throws the red lever into the middle position. "We'll deal with you, later." He drops his wand after casting a final cure on himself.

Agriver winces and watches his ill companions get battered again, being brought closer to deaths door.
Iomadae save us, I had no idea the power of sorcery. How do we lay such a foe low?
"Klarkosh? As in the master of the skeletal priest I delivered to Pharasma's mercy?.... Perhaps meeting you is a blessing in disguise.. I am Agriver Rall - and I will end you fiend!"
The paladin vaults over the scrap and an explosion of white light radiates outward shower the party in healing energy.

The she-wolf bounds into action. Her pack was threatened. She didn't think she could hurt the metal-man-thing, but she would try.

Yon Li'l |
Yon makes a loud sound of anguish as Rbuod collapses. "Agriver save him!" he shouts, bring back his own resolve. He starts to cast and under the cold chill air of the ice storm Spring can be felt, as Yon begins to cast Summon Natures Ally III.
GM..Kashka |
As Agriver scrambles over the pile of parts... the Automaton's Guisarme lashes out at him...

First off, someone moved me across the room from a position at the other wall where we weren't all nicely clumped together (shakes finger, tsk tsk tsk).
Secondly, whelp, do I have the right of this that I can't do anything other than a single move action for the next 2 rounds?

correct
Rbuod |
Rbuod stands. Unwavering loyalty even as he is cut deeply. Yon gives him a look and he takes a few steps away from the melee.
Vala Tinkersmith |
Vala looks around trying to see the quickest way out of this storm cloud. Her eyes widen as she sees the automaton nearly behead Agriver.
She shakes her head resolutely and moves forward, still trying not to heave. "If anyone can use this before I can...." She says, drawing her CLW wand in one hand as she moves holding it out for anyone to take. Her rapier is in her other.
"I hope that magic using bastard is running out of spells" She says as she shakes pelting snow off of her arms, stepping into a flank position for Yon.
Ansel Meadsodden |
As the Agriver is brutally struck down while attempting to fulfill yet another selfless act, Ansel stares stunned for a second.
'This is NOT what the Academe briefed me on. This was to be a scholarly expedition, muscle protection provided for whatever underworld denizens lurk in here but NOTHING about evil Wizards gods be damned.'
Stunned, he finds himself moving towards the fallen adventurer, free hand slightly trembling. Sickness takes him to heaving again, but whether it is the gore of the induced nausea he is no longer sure.
Moved
GM..Kashka |
The Automaton mindlessly defends itself by lashing out at the last combatant to target it..
slam @ayame: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 but misses.
Seeing it is surrounded.. it then drops its Guisarme and draws its longsword.

She cannot believe she cannot hit.
Ansel Meadsodden |
Ansel removes himself from the Ice Storm.
Robin L'il |
Robin merely shakes his head, as he moves up, drawing his falchion. "Ansel, man the lever. I don't know if he can do anything from where he is, but maybe you can at least hold it? "
He then swings, hard, at the metal creature, hoping his newly enchanted blade will destroy it.
+1 Adamantine Falchion, PA: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 2 = 22 slashing, adamantine, magical: 2d4 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 + 6 = 14
OMG have the dice abandoned us?
Ansel Meadsodden |
GM pending, Ansel would change course and man the lever if allowed. Still 10ft from starting location.
Robin L'il |
"Vala, if you can't attack, get out of there! Use that wand on Agriver when you can!" shouts Robin, concerned that his friends are going to soon be dead if he doesn't quickly destroy the automaton.
Agriver Rall |
Attempt to Stabilize DC17: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Vala Tinkersmith |
Vala bristles at the ... command. "Didn't your mother ever tell you to ask nice!?!! How was I supposed to know you were heading into melee? You DO have a bow you know!" She scowls furiously at Robin as she steps back.
Yon Li'l |
Yon's casting finishes. A very healthy and strong specimen of the constrictor family appears, shining some pale light on the room.
Constrictor attacks

Agriver continues bleeding on the floor... while Robin deals a hard blow to the automaton.
The constrictor hits but deals only a little damage. Ansel finds the lever in the snow and stops feeling nausea.
The automaton attacks Robin with his sword and a body slam:
longsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
slam: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
but both miss.
