GM R Box - Iron Gods AP

Game Master Twistlok

Yes keep it coming. I love the background stories that the GM sees, but the player doesn't always get.

Ok, whenever something has a major, unknowable, story I will give some details. Honestly I think it is one of the many strengths of PbP.

Also tomorrow is my daughters 1st birthday party so I will post tonight if the party commits to an action but tomorrow it is unlikely I will do much as I have family in town.

Happy Birthday, little Red Box! Have fun.

Yes happy birthday to the little.

Yes, Happy 1st year as a parent day!!!

To think we have been fighting proxy creatures this entire time....clearly much more work to do.

Cake Monster

Daawww

So much cute right there.

Awesome pic!

One of the more confusing things about Iron Gods is that Silverdisks, which are used as currency, are discharged and nonchargeable batteries.

So they would look the same but I am going to say that the batteries have a blue glow when charged.

James and Xander you would have seen this when you had the gun examined by Sanvil Trett. It was in my notes to go over this at the time but I simply forgot.

Cool - makes sense. Checking batteries at home is always annoying too!

Semi-Automatic:
A gun with the semi-automatic feature can make a shot as though you had rapid-shot , including the penalties, without you having rapid shot trained.

Because Iron Gods is a unique AP I added another document with details of the equipment found and any unusual rules. I will try and keep it up but if there is something missing you need as a reference let me know.

Also remember to notate the loot sheet for things you decide to keep.

Am I able to take the javelins from the loot list? Or do I need to be in a specific place to buy loot?

This is a heads up that I am traveling from now through the 4th of July holiday. I will be mostly in an area where cell service is spotty; I may not be able to post at all, but I will do my best to, if nothing else, post actions with limited roleplay. If you are also in the US, enjoy your holiday, and if you're not: don't mind us!

Uronzeer:
If there is no ones name next to something you can take it. If there is a number in the pink column that shows it has been sold.

4th of July:
I think many of you are in the US so I do not expect a real busy weekend of posting. I will be online, we only go to the park for Fireworks, so do not refrain if you want and can but I do not expect a flurry of activity.

Thanks. This is random but the 'Iron Gods Paizo- Adventure Path' has a mix on Spotify....some different music there really not bad so far.

Apologies if the Cerebric Fungus lashes out attacking after my last move. :3

I have been listen to the Spotify as I do the notes for the second book. Good for the mood since it is a lot less linear.

So there is almost no chance you could make it though with out fighting this thing so no harm done.

Everyone please read my instructions in both posts. I made a group will save but you must make a second each turn. This thing is kind of rough on the old mind.

Hello party members!

Sorry for short notice but I'm going out of town for 2 weeks. My wife and I are going on a belated honeymoon to France and Italy. I am sure I will be able to post via phone in airports and places with internet but were being adventurous and have planned minimally so I cannot be sure.

I will be back home 20th and can post regularly. Probably get 2 or 3 more in before we venture out.

I am also going to be travelling Jul 8-20, and while I will have some limited time and access, if someone would like to offer to be my alter ego and bot me to keep things moving, that would be cool. All of my character details are in my profile.

I also could try to bring in someone from outside the game to sit in for me if that is easier.

Happy Anniversary trip Uron.

I can bot you James if the GM would like me too.

I would be happy to have my character controlled/botted while im gone. This trip snuck up quickly.

Vedia if you want to run James that is cool. I can handle Ueonzeer while he is away.

Thanks! With luck hopefully we finished this fungus off just before leaving :)

Thanks, Vedia! Feel free to use anything I have on the sheet as you see fit. I don't worry about charges or ammo or such.

So, I'm back from vacation, glad to be posting again. Thanks for botting me!

Not a problem.

I would like to commend Elkin, James and Uronzeer for handling their expected absences proactively. It keeps the game running smoothly and makes fizzling out far less likely.

Did one of the robots die?

Yes. When it was bisected by Uronzeer and fell in two pieces it was dead. I realize with a construct I should have added that more specifically.

The tougher, orange, robot is still active and much harder to hurt.

I just wanted to make sure, I still saw both on the gameplay map

I have another busy weekend coming up, but this one is in a hotel and should allow for more posting; I expect to at least keep up a daily posting rate through the weekend.

Saturday I have a wedding for a close friend. I would not expect anything from me between going to bed Friday and getting home on Sunday.

Well I'm back. Forgot how much I like scotch. On a related note I now remember when I don't drink that much scotch.

So that was anti-climatic having a GM character end the fight but in my defense Hardness 10 was going to be a b&$!+ and I am sure Jay would have done the same.

Uronzeer is back on the 20th as will James.

Lets hope Vedia is ok.

I'm alive. I didn't get my absence post up in this thread, and I apologize.

I was traveling, and honestly thought I'd have time to post. I was just visiting family, but they kept me running all day and in to the evening. I'm not used to keeping up with kids between the ages of 4 and 11 so I was exhausted when I got back to my Mom's.

I'm glad to hear all is well and you got to spend some time with the family. Having a 1 year old I know how exhausting kids can be.

Making Uronzeer large pretty much won you a fight that could have taken much longer.

Hardness 10 on those suckers is a bit of a b+~~+.

Sorry the first day back to work and before that got into the actually a rhythm

Welcome back.

Good work on getting Khonnir out of there. Loot sheet has been updated to include the 4000gp reward.
Work on leveling up to level three since we are up in the town.

I'm back guys! Trip was amazing. Had some hiccups on the tail end delaying return but nothing big. Saw amazing stuff.

Work tomorrow and bak to regular posts. Have catching up to do 0_0

Leveled up.

Leveled up as well.

Health: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Welcome back Uronzeer glad to hear the trip was good.. As you will see you are back in town, rescued Khonnir and are now level 3.

Thinking on the big hardness robots we have encountered maybe it would be a good idea to get an adamantine weapon for one of our best frontliners from the party pool?

Maybe not a bad idea. That's really expensive right?

1d10 ⇒ 8

My Stonestrike ability (the Stonelord's equivalent of Smite Evil) allows me to ignore hardness up to twice my paladin level, but only for 1 round/level each day. I was saving it for a rainy day against those robots, I guess.

Yeah it's 3000gp + weapon cost.

Apologies for the lack of posting this weekend; a minor whirlwind arose in my life but I'm back. I'm posting this message in all of my games first, then circling back around to make an in-game post. I should be caught up later today. Thanks for your patience!

I'll complete my level up later tonight. I'm okay with contributing towards an adamantine weapon; Elkin shouldn't be the kind of character that requires a heavy magic item investment.

Thinking along those lines, are there any spells or abilities that we should think about building towards that could similarly help us defeat high-hardness in the creatures we face?
