Jarreck bows his head in a moment of reverence "Sleep well" before being attacked by the ogre. Dodging its attack, he flicks his wrist before attacking the creature with both sword and dagger.
Guaire blinks away death and stands while grabbing his flail
Spike gores an Ogre, killing it.
Mort sends a flaming sphere at Blue 1d20 ⇒ 2 burning it horribly, the crowd cheers the brutality of it all!
Seven sends a bolt of fire lancing through the crowded melee, it nearly strikes the newly healed Guaire in the back but just misses and streaks off to burn a hole in a seat. The crowd cheers the near team kill.
You missed due to soft cover and firing into melee
Jarreck goes full ginsu on the remaining ogre, his dance of swordplay causes a some in the crowd to cheer on the Birdkillers, the ogre falls dead.
Combat Over
Suddenly, the very earth under the arena shakes and a booming voice is heard
Who dares defy the Lords of Rust! Who dares defy his majesty in Iron! Hellion will see these interlopers and judge them!
The crowd panics and begins stampeding each other to exit the Arena...the party notices a curious flickering light at the easternmost area, ostensibly where Helskarg began the fight from.
Loots!:
Helskarg carried a+1 Autograpnel with 6 charges remaining. She also had a grey access card...

After his previous general question and looking around himself, Guaire hears the enthusiastic Omo.
"Yes, yes i am. Death was an experience i don't want to repeat in the near future. I'd prefer to be around for several more decades before the next time."

"Welcome back, been close a few times and agree don't want to return anytime soon,"
Jarreck will add the grey access card to the others he has in his pouch and help Omo tie the autograpnel to Mr Robot for transport at this time; before following Seven towards the east.
This large wooden platform sits twenty feet above the battle ground to the west. The squat metal tower it extends from is obviously part of a different, much older structure. A large nest of furs and rags and bones, appropriate for something the size of a small giant, sits in the middle of the platform.
As the party moves up the stairs to enter Helskarg's lair, a pair of flat screens come to life and an image appears on them
Know, apes, that you now stand in Hellion's domain. You must bow before your new god-me. Accept me and kneel, and I shall suffer your presence. Deny me the obedience I deserve, and you shall be punished. the entire thing sounds like it has been said hundreds of times, the being is almost bored.

Bless its heart. It is trying.

Omo examines the screen and the surrounding wires and equipment. It was clearly projecting from somewhere, but where? How much could the thing in the screen see them?
How does Omo have a +28!!!!!! I'll assume +18 which is still crazy...
Omo figures that some sort of sensors are attached to the monitor to allow the being to see you. Similar to how Mr. Robot senses the world around it...

He normally has a 20, given that his int is a 29 at the moment due to his cognaton and his Fox's Cunning Potion and also that his Archetype adds Int bonuses twice to all Kn. scores, his bonus is a +28

Seventeen is wracked with glitches and her positronic brain has a kernel panic and reboots several times. She tries to speak but her words are truncated and nonsense comes out. Finally in control she remarks icily, "Now that was rude."

That heal gets me to 16 hp, thanks Omo.
That spell could have undone my resurrection if Niles had rolled higher.
Thankfully he didn't.
After Guaire's stomach had returned to relative normal state, he wipes away the sweat drops on his forehead.
"Being sick is such a nuisance.
Right, so the troll's dead and we've pissed off a big ugly thing."
Not much in preparations to do, aside from putting my guardsman posture back on.
The map has a pretty accurate indication of current HP.
Jarreck hands Omo the Grey Access card and the doors open soundlessly.
The dull gray metal walls of this H-shaped chamber are adorned here and there with rectangular panels of flickering glass mounted at head height. Bits of garbage and rotten food lie strewn across the floor, and the air is thick with the rank stench of unwashed bodies.

Ok, people, when we are out of combat -- Just roll your own healing and mark down the charges used. I want us to be healed, but I don't want to keep asking either.
Might be for the best. I know I find it a little irritating having to always roll healing on the other game.
CLW x2 on Seventeen:2d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 2) + 2 = 12
As if discussing something of no consequence, Seventeen remarks, "Strange, you appear to be a Fleshling too. That is... Unless you chose to look like that?!"
Despite her apparent levity, Seventeen carefully denotes anything that could potentially be hostile in the area.
Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
If nothing seems to be cause for concern, she heads up.

You have come to...NO THIS IS A TRICK BY THE IMPOSTER UNITY THAT COLLECTION OF GLITCHES AND RANDOM CODE! the being screams vitriol out of the monitor and it disappears, the screens going black once more.
Seventeen says with finality, "It appears to be deranged, and apparently obsessed with Unity."
A little later she adds, "I suppose that was Hellion. That purple haired woman Meyanda was it's disciple, she spoke with considerable vitriol about Unity. The conflict between them seems obscure, and likely illogical. We must conclude they are both damaged somehow and are unstable."

Thanks Mort. Seven, Niles sorry guys but work is kicking my butt, covering 3 people's jobs at work.
Jarreck watches the exchange between the creature on the screen and Seven. "Well Seven, it seems to know you or at least thought momentarily that it does. Anything rolling around in there that might back up the connection. Not saying that you're bat guano crazy, like that one, you know." Jarreck takes his time inspecting the detritus and the stairwells before looking to others to see which way they want to go.

we wound up not using the grenade launcher on Mr Robot correct? If not, Guaire are you using it? This seems like a good time to use it - crowd control. Especially since no one remembered it while fighting the big ugly troll. Granted Omo is occasionally just as if not more dangerous.
Wanted: Between 1 and 3 new players for a long term Iron Gods game.
The Skinny: Me and some buddies have been playing this game since Aug 2014, in the last year or so we've slowed down alot and lost 2 players. We are about to finish the fourth book, Valley of the Brain Collectors, and plunge into Books 5/6 concurrently. We are looking for one or more dedicated individuals to join us in finishing this AP. It'll probably take over a year to get there, but we've invested nearly 5 years in this thing so what's another 2.
Specs: Starting level 12. 20 point buy. Normal WBL. Core/uncommon races +Android and Ratfolk. Unchained Summoners only. No occult classes. Preference given to archetypes from the tech guide. Can purchase items from CRB, Tech guide, UM, Equipment guide.
Expectations for players: The ability to post daily, but probably only need to post 3-4 times a week. (I'm an elementary school principal and I get crazy busy). I expect anyone who is interested to at least skim a little through our gameplay thread, it's long but we've had fun and the party has been pretty awesome.
Current party:
Jarreck, a reincarnated Elf turned Dwarf Rogue
Seven.Teen, our very serious Android Arcanist (focused on save/suck and damage)
Guaire, a Numerian archer who really hates Robots
We could use a divine caster or two. Currently I'm GMPcing 2 NPC's from the book, a Kasatha Techslinger and a Druid of Gozreh. The new PC's would be replacing one or both of those.
Just a heads up, I prefer characters that are thematic to the AP/Campaign. Ex: This campaign has featured psychic themed enemies, evil brain eating aliens, technogangs, crazy AI, a literal junkyard arena, a pervasive and powerful enemy (The Technic League), alien allies, lasers, rocket launchers.....
A samurai might not fit this campaign....unless it were a cyborg samurai with a laser sword, then it would.
As for how you'll be entered into the campaign seamlessly.... Earlier in the campaign the heroes befriended the Lady Altouna, the Lashunta alien ruler of Hajoth Hakados. The town has always been standoffish to the Technic League, the cabal of Technomancers that rules Numeria de facto. However, events in the campaign have led to a growing insurrection centered on Hajoth Hakados. The selected PC's will be mercenaries (or loyalists) of Lady Altouna sent to find and beg the heroes to return to Hajoth Hakados.
I actually have been playing around with an idea for a pathfinder version of a transformer (robots in disguise!) that would be a perfect fit here...In short an android wild effigy shifter. Think Beast Wars.
Would probably make for some interesting RP with/against your archer...plus from that party composition it sounds like you could use a heavy hitter/tank or a healer. This would be the first of those.
Consider me dotted. I do not know much about the AP, so I will read through the players guide and read online some to try to get a gist of books 1 - 3 and then I will stat something up. I am assuming 2 traits, one from the AP player guide...
I'm very new, very interested, and am available to post literally every day. I also generally lean towards the holy magic you're looking for, and a group with a deep-RP history is very appealing to me.
I'll take an hour or two to skim the Iron Gods' core material, along with your gameplay thread, and be back with a character submission asap.
Always wanted to play this setting, never had the chance even remotely. there aren't many games here and my home group prefers other things.
My idea is a version of a buff/debuff cleric that I had in my mind for a while adapted to your setting. And because you could need a cleric:
A crazy Cleric Iron Priest of an alien god who preaches that aliens are among us and their technology will bring an end to the world. Except he isn't crazy just nobody takes him serious. To proof his claims he traveled to Numeria.
Questions:
-Do you want us to know about books 1-4 and/or about the details of technology? Because I don't (yet). I can either build a newcomer who is as unknowledgeable as me (Hajoth Hakados would have many of those) or a local.
-Is the Guided weapon enchant allowed?
-Is VMC allowed? Because I'd VMC him with an Abberant bloodline sorcerer to slowly become an alien himself.
I love the sci-fantasy action of the Iron Gods AP, but never got a chance to play. Would definitely be interested.
How about a dwarven warpriest of Torag, drawn to Numeria by all the talk of constructs and engineering feats, who has been knocking around the place for more than a hundred years? Grizzled and with more than a little tech in his gear (and body) he is ready to join forces with the PCs to face the Technic League and take the fight into the Silver Mount.
Fifteen would be interested, having started a number of Iron Gods games and always having them die on her. I could do something about being Casandalee's bodyguard perhaps? An Android fighter/rogue type who would be on the frontline of the fight :)
Echo the question about exactly what tech weapons are available - could make a big difference to how I plan out the character!
Super interested in this! Thinking of a ratfolk/android alchemist who uses one or more clockwork companions, like little surgical robots patching people up. Could use the Tinkerer archetype, or the Construct Rider one.
Here is my Warpriest submission. Front line fighter and divine caster, all in one dwarfy package.

Background:
Originally from a desert tribe of dwarves in Osirion, Nordack spent much his youth in intense training hoping to qualify for one of the Houses of Perfection in Jalmeray. When he was 41 he made the trip out to the island, where he quickly found that for all his skill and training he just wasn’t cut out for the ascetic discipline the Houses demanded. Giving up that dream, he wandered for a few years, falling in with a few trade caravans, and eventually came under the wing of a traveling cleric of Torag. In the forge father Nordack found new purpose, and he dedicated his life to the god. His travels continued, and made his way North to Numeria where the promise of strange engineering marvels and deadly monsters sparked his curiosity. He’s been in the Land of Fallen Stars ever since, earning a mighty reputation as a slayer of robots and a defender of the weak.
I've had bad luck with Iron Gods so far. Both games I was in were amazing, but the first one had to end due to GM troubles, and my work schedule couldn't keep up with the break-neck pace of the second one, as much as I wanted to.
I have a particular healing/frontlining combination I've considered for Iron Gods for a while, of a Kellid medicine man on a suicidal mission for vengeance against the Technic League, after they killed his entire tribe to retrieve a sky-thing from their village.
Here is my Warpriest submission. Front line fighter and divine caster, all in one dwarfy package.

Cool, thank you. I have to say right up front though that I don't do mythweaver sheets because they are blocked at my work. Can you get your sheet imported onto the Paizo site?

Well, I can assure you that barring death/dismemberment or the Paizo site dying horribly we are finishing this thing. Our pace isn't too fast, about 3-4 posts a week right now. I'd really love to boost that to 5-6 posts a week but I get busy with work/kids and the three other guys have kids/jobs etc. We're all a bunch of old dudes now.
GM - I have a rules question regarding wild-shape and magic items that I need a ruling on before I spend 8k of my gold. It is regarding the Shirt of Immolation
So there is some disagreement about whether or not the item would still work during wildshape. It does not require activation on the part of the character, but it also does not provide a constant bonus.
The build I am working on is tactically focused on soaking damage and locking down 1 combatant with grapple checks, so the shirt would help bump up the damage output of the build, but is not critical. Thoughts?

Now, now, it's not like we're senior citizens, you know. ^^
One of the team here. Like Seven.Teen said, it'd be great to complete an AP. As is, one of the NPCs is tanking, alongside our rogue. A tank & divine would be nifty indeed.

Okay. I have the basic build done. I still plan on going and stating out the character in his wildshaped and chimeric aspected battle form...because it will make a huge difference. Will probably use the spells area of the sheet for that since this guy doesn't cast.
I did see your note earlier about having a forum version of the character sheet because your work has myth-weavers blocked, so that is on the to do list as well.
I did go ahead and buy the shirt of immolation so I could move forward on it, but if you decide no on that let me know and I will do something else with that 8k.
I've mostly built a Kellid cyber-soldier, the general concept being that he was kidnapped, mindwiped, and brutally experimented on by the Technic League. He's almost more machine than man, and has a real hatred for the League. He's insanely front-line focused. While he hates the Technic League, he's rather grateful for the extremely powerful chainsaw they gave him.

Sorry, thought I had responded.
1) Yes,I'll fill you in on the campaign specific details. Tech is definitely on board if you want it to be.
2) No to Guided Weapon
3) No to VMC.

Eh, seems fine. It deals 1d6+10 damage of a very resisted type of damage, doesn't seem that powerful really.
You know, somehow, I find it gratifying to know that staff, also, are blocked from sites at schools.
A thought occurs to me; can anyone think of a way to make Swashbucklers work with Plasma Blades? Because Parry/Riposte and Smash From the Air with a lightsaber would be the coolest frontline combatant I have ever played.

Maybe a house feat in the vein of Slashing Grace?
Why not just play a different martial class...I'm pretty sure you can thematically do all the same stuff with say...a slayer.
Here's the bare-bones outline for my submission. I'm still getting all the spells, gear, and skills down on one piece of "paper". Legit sitting here with like 4 PDFs open. I'll consolidate everything in the morning so that you can have a better overview of how the character would play.
I am envisioning a follower of Milani, who's come to Hajoth Hakados to help with the insurrection. I still don't know if building a Warpriest or an Inquisitor, or something in between, but at least it's starting to have a defined shape. I'll write some backstory now.
Edit: Aw, damn, more than 8000 posts... it'll take a while to skim through it. I guess I'll have to skip the beginning or something.
I'm not aware of a way to get Opportune Parry and Riposte with another class, and Duelist's Parry only works with dueling swords. Ditto Aldori Style.
I could do Fighter instead and get some advanced weapon training, but I'm not sure how well that build will stand up to the forces of evil without a defensive ability that works in melee.
Fifteen has new crunch ready to go. She's a fighter/rogue with a heavy heavy dose of self crafting (I've assumed she's crafted both her own null blades and the grav suit - her skill bonuses are high enough!)
Haven't written fluff because I need to reread book 4, but I was thinking she was Casandalee's bodyguard, was captured along with her and could be found somewhere along her trail, imprisoned somehow. As I said I'll reread and see exactly where would work.
Please do take a look and tell me what you think (players and GM!). I know she's a massive glass cannon but maybe you guys can help with that? I thought it was worth getting her offense done now and hoping I can kill things before they get a chance to hit me back! :D

Background:
Experiment J-12, or J as he prefers to be called, remembers very little of who he was before the league took him. He remembers freedom, the wind at his face as he hunted the prairies of Numeria and laughing around the fire with people whose faces he cannot quite place. His first strong memory is of a group of warriors on horseback lassoing him and dragging him to Starfall. He remembers the dark corridors of the Technic League’s compound. And he remembers pain. Unimaginable pain. First it was his arms, then his legs. When that was not enough, it was his eyes. Then it was his heart. All ripped away from him, replaced by cold steel and unfeeling metal. And he remembers fighting. He was forced to battle others like him, Kellid tribespeople the League had taken to conduct their cruel experiments on. As deeply as he wished his suffering to be over, it never was. When he fought, he killed. If he did not, the League would take his cybernetic enhancements, leaving him blind and immobile and try to “improve” him. All the while, he wished to escape, to return to the life of freedom he once had. It all came to a head one day when the League gave him a chainsaw for his performance. It was a brutal and powerful weapon, and J knew that it was his chance. He fought his way out, the Technic League grunts barely putting up resistance to his mighty chainsaw and cybernetic enhancements. Managing to get some concealing clothing and a large box for the chainsaw, J slipped away into the chaos of Starfall. He had heard of a place called Hajoth Hakados where the influence of the League was minimal at best and the oddities of Numeria can fit in. It was a long and hard journey, but J’s inhuman metabolism and survival skill he remembered from his past life carried him through. Eventually he made it to Hajoth Hakados and found a small shack on the outskirts of the city. For the first time, J felt somewhat safe. The League was far from him and he could blend in with the other strange characters of Numeria. Eventually, Lady Altouna got in contact with him, as she had heard of his substantial combat abilities and began to contract him for mercenary work.
Appearance and Personality:
J is a tall Kellid man with long, somewhat stringy black hair. His eyes are an odd silvery color with glowing yellow irises, a result of their replacement with cybernetics. His most notable features are his metallic arms and legs. While they are detachable, J prefers to keep them on whenever possible, never wanting to be disarmed. He usually wears light but concealing clothing in an effort to keep his cybernetics as hidden as possible. In battle, he carries a chainsaw, the vicious teeth constantly whirring in a fairly intimidating display. He also wears a finely crafted breastplate given to him by Lady Altouna.
J is something of a broken man. While the brutal experiments may have been physically healed, the mental scars are still raw and deep. As such, he is a deeply damaged individual, wracked with nightmares of wickedly sharp blades, dark, claustrophobic corridors, and near-unimaginable pain. He is at one both terrified of the Technic League and angry for what they did to him. There are two things he deeply desires in life. First, he wishes to kill those who tortured him, to show them the suffering he went through. Secondly, he wishes to find the people he came from, to go back to when he was happy and free on the rugged plains of Numeria.
My crunch is complete and put into the profile here on Paizo. It looks like hero lab because I stole the template, but it is a copy paste job. As such, if there are any discrepancies between Paizo and Myth-Weavers, MW is accurate and Paizo will be updated.
I promise the name, T1-63R will be the only instance of Leet Speak (1337) that I will use. In true starwars fashion the letters and numbers will be read plain, not as the amalgamed leet phrase (tiger).
Background:
T1-63R is an android that was found and re-activated about 20 years ago by a human family. He has no memories of his original programming and only knows his name is T1-63R because of the embossed plate on the back of his right forearm. His appearance is that of a mechanical catfolk of disproportionate size.
Because of his natural strength, the family that came across him, the Lowlenthans, adopted him into their home. He became a mix between an adopted child and hired hand that helped them with their agricultural work. Some of the other humans of the nearby village did not take as kindly to the mechanical cat-being and would often attempt to make trouble. It was during one such encounter that T1-63R unwittingly transformed into his combat mode, becoming a huge armored tiger.
After this encounter, T1-63R discussed his living situation with the Lowlenthans and together they decided it would be best if he set out on his own. Now he travels the world, looking for answers about his past and using his inborn/built-in combat ability to serve justice and protect the innocent.
Appearance and Personality:
T1-63R has the appearance of a massive catfolk or even a weretiger, but with small features that belie his obvious mechanical nature. The massive body of metalic silver and black "fur" culminates in a huge head of a ferocious beast.
T1-63R found after working with the Lowlenthan family for several years that their human nature was more chaotic than he was innately comfortable with. He preferred order and structure to his day that worked well for a farmhand's life, but when the unexpected would arise he some times had trouble coping, causing stress within the family. Now on his own, he likes to structure his day in an orderly way, ensuring that tasks are completed fully and satisfactorily.
From a combat strategy standpoint, he will charge at a dangerous looking enemy, bite and claw them, grapple them, catch on fire, and proceed to hold them down so they can't act in combat. In full combat mode his grapple modifier is +32, so it is something he will be pretty good at. He won't be the most damaging front liner, but he can soak a lot of hits (and several will probably miss with his AC) and he should be able to remove one major threat most of the time.
Next level he also gets to rake on a successful grapple, so that will up the damage a bit too.

I never did specify how long this recruitment will go on, because it will go on until we get to the point in the story where I can easily add new people. I'm guessing another week or two.
One question about cyber implants. I think I've just read that you can take any magic item and just say "it's an implant" and make it so, fluff wise. Is that right? I take it since it doesn't take a slot, it should cost more, like double (I get that from the price of the Attribute Enhancers, they're 8k instead of the usual 4k). I thought it would be cool to add some of the magic items I was planning on having as cybernetic enhancements.
Speaking of magic items, any of you happen to know if there's an item that boosts the Warpriest's Sacred Weapon damage, same as the Monk's robe?
I was thinking something more like, instead of wearing Irongrip Gauntlets, having titanium tendons that allow you a firmer grip. The gauntlets are priced at 4k, so the tendons would be 6k or 8k, I guess (+50-100%).
Oh, one last add on my submission...I did purchase an exotic saddle fitted to a dire tiger...so in combat form (13 hours per day) I can act as a mount for someone if necessary.
This could work out to introduce me and the other selected new party member at the same time if I am selected. Maybe we are partners or something and I also act as the transport during long travel days.
