Round 2, Init 18

Vetch tries to put some damage on one of the baddies.

Casting Magic SpaceMissile as full round action.
3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 3) + 3 = 9 damage.

Dash steps back and unleashed his own force missiles against the most injured kish.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 2) + 3 = 10

Vetch and Dash both pepper the wounded Kish with magical space missiles.

Draka's rage proves to be her downfall as the Rebuilt ducks her hammer's arc. Zane continues to heal, leaving the group to fend for themselves without the sportsball quarterback.

As Draka moves around the rebuilt it swings a limp tentacled limb in her direction.

AoO vs Draka KAC 26: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 1) + 12 = 16

Draka is stunned as the tentacle smacks into her chin. Abe's rifle manages to burn the a hole right through the Kish's chest. Enough to see right through the opposing side.

Green Slam vs Dash KAC 20: 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 17 - 4 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 1) + 12 = 14

Red Slam vs Abe KAC 24: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 6) + 12 = 23

Dash gets assaulted as the rebuilt stays on top of him, pushing him into the wall.

Round 4
Zane (SP 0/65; HP 38/48; RP 6/7; DR/5-Cold/Fire; DR/7 Kinetic; 1 Neg Lvl; invisible)

Abe (SP 49/49; HP 46/46; RP 6/7)(Messalina 70/70)
Draka (SP 1/53; HP 59/59; RP 6/7)

Round: 3

Abe is surprised when Draka moves off, and exposes him. ”I’m not a front line fighter!” he calls out as he tries to protect his face. He steps back 5’, and takes a single shot.
Abe corona laser rifle: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 damage(F): 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 3) + 5 = 13

Messaline fires from above.
Messalina frostbite zero rifle: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 damage(C): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Zane moves into flanking position intent on taking out this rebuilt quasit.... right after he bandages up this last wound. He regrips his sword and reappears - ready to take this thing on!

move Zane. Use Field Fix to get 7 Stamina. Spend 1 resolve. @Gm. I was looking for the advantages of trying to wait to reappear and leave the thing flat footed, but I don't think it'd stack with flanking. Plus Dash would be in deep trouble in they ganged up on him.

Come on you sick momma. Leave Coach alone!

Round 3, Init 18

Vetch sends another blast at the most wounded kish.

Casting Magic SpaceMissile as full round action.
3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2, 1) + 3 = 8 damage.

Vetch continues to blast the wounded Kish with his space missiles while Abe stumbles back out of the way and puts another hole through the Kish's ribs. Though it doesn't seem to slow it down any. Messalina's frostbite freezes the rebuilt's feet, slightly slowing it further.

Suddenly The Zane reappears right beside the creature, sword in his hands as he looks serious.

Round 4
Zane (SP 7/65; HP 38/48; RP 5/7; DR/5-Cold/Fire; DR/7 Kinetic; 1 Neg Lvl; invisible)
Dash (SP 14/45; HP 35/35; RP 5/6)

Rebuilt Kish (Green -52) (Red -32; slowed)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Vetch (SP 49/49; HP 44/44; RP 7/8; Elec/Fire/Cold Res 5)
Abe (SP 49/49; HP 46/46; RP 6/7)(Messalina 70/70)
Draka (SP 1/53; HP 59/59; RP 6/7)

Dash looks left, then right, then swears.

”F@$#%...”

He concentrates and tries to blend into the background.

Concentration: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Invisbility!

Round 3:

Draka moves up a step (see map) and swings her Swoop Hammer towards the red enemy. "RAAAUGH!"

To Hit (Swoop Hammer): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Damage (Swoop Hammer): 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Draka's swoop hammer causes an exposed kidney to rupture as the hammer smooshes it. Though surprisingly the exposed organs seem to cushion the blow. DR.

The photons around Dash blink rapidly as he vanishes from sight. With Dash and Abe gone from sight the pair turn their focus back onto Zane and Draka as no speech comes from them other than menacing growls and snarls.

Green Slam vs Zane KAC 23: 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 17 - 4 = 31
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 5) + 12 = 23

Green Slam vs Zane KAC 23: 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 17 - 4 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 6) + 12 = 21

The Zane takes two blows to his head as blood begins to run from his broken nose and split brow.

Draka seems to fair a little better as she pushes the Rebuilt away, much too slow to attack.

Round 5
Zane (SP 0/65; HP 15/48; RP 5/7; DR/5-Cold/Fire; DR/7 Kinetic; 1 Neg Lvl; invisible)
Dash (SP 14/45; HP 35/35; RP 5/6)

Draka (SP 1/53; HP 59/59; RP 6/7)

Round: 4

Abe and Messalina continue their shots on red, unsure where Dash is, and not wanting to hit him by mistake.
Abe corona laser rifle: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 4 = 19 (extra attack) damage(F): 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 5) + 5 = 13
Abe corona laser rifle: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 4 = 21 (extra attack) damage(F): 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 3) + 5 = 12

Messalina frostbite zero rifle: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 damage(C): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Blood just gushes from his nose. Breathing heavily also sprays blood out in a sideways crimson rain.
The Zane can take a hit. You mother-f~&%ing Trolls watch this s%$*. Watch and apologize for your uneducated b*&#%$~+.
He swings his sword -knowing that Boingo wants blood.
Trolls, get off the board!
attack: 1d20 + 13 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 13 - 4 - 1 = 11

attack: 1d20 + 13 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 13 - 4 - 1 = 9

But Boingo already has enough blood. Enough of Zane's blood. Boingo doesn't help at all. The Zane's swings are wide.

”Gah!” Dash exclaims when the Zane’s blood splatters across his arm. ”And I thought you smelled bad on the outside!”

Seeing the sportsballer on death’s door again, Dash takes him out of the fight, again.

”I’m impressed by your ability to take a hit, as well as your elegant f@#%ing vocabulary.”

Invisibility on Zane

How you all aren’t focusing fire at the most wounded baddie, I dunno.

Round 4, Init 18

Vetch sends another blast at the most wounded kish.

Casting Magic SpaceMissile as full round action.
3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4, 3) + 3 = 13 damage.

Well, all my shots at the most wounded missed, then Dash was invisible and in my way - so in character it felt odd to 'shoot around him' when I couldn't see him. You should have said it in character though, so we could have some banter, instead of ooc.

And to cover your earlier complaint about rushing forward when Zane had to rest, I did suggest moving forward 'after' Zane rested, but the DM moved us on - so I assume we had no choice.

Yup, there wasn’t going to be much rest between the trap as Zane set it off and rolled into the room. They were coming. :)

Dash was reckless here in pushing forward. Trying to manage damage control here now. It’s a slower fight with invisibility tactics, but at least there will be little chance of a dead Zane.

Vetch continues to beat the wounded Kish down with his missiles. Alternating their targets Abe and Messalina's weapons bear down on the slowed rebuilt, igniting the small attached mini kish that flops about on the side.

The Zane calls out everyone's attention to watch as he slowly misses, ripping his bruised skin open in the process.

@Dash- Are you moving near Zane to cast the invisibility on him as it is a range of touch? It will provoke.

Round 5
Zane (SP 0/65; HP 15/48; RP 5/7; DR/5-Cold/Fire; DR/7 Kinetic; 1 Neg Lvl; invisible)
Dash (SP 14/45; HP 35/35; RP 5/6)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Rebuilt Kish (Green -66) (Red -77; slowed)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Vetch (SP 49/49; HP 44/44; RP 7/8; Elec/Fire/Cold Res 5)
Abe (SP 49/49; HP 46/46; RP 6/7)(Messalina 70/70)
Draka (SP 1/53; HP 59/59; RP 6/7)

Dash is already invisible himself, so I’m assuming he doesn’t provoke an AoO?

@Vetch- It probably doesn't help that these guys hit incredibly hard and I have also rolled 3 crits with them.

@Dash- You are correct good Sir.

To Hit (Swoop Hammer): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Damage (Swoop Hammer): 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Draka's hammer seems much too slow for these merged amalgamations as the groaning Kish barely makes out a word. "Meeeercy....." As their threats keep disappearing the pair spar off on beating down the larger Vesk. Green's movement will provoke from Zane if he so wishes.

Green Slam vs Draka KAC 26;flanking: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 17 + 2 = 39
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 3) + 12 = 16
Crit Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 6) + 12 = 22

Draka gets rocked hard as the pair of rebuilt Kish slam into her from either side, knocking the wind from her as her camera jostles.

Round 6
Zane (SP 0/65; HP 15/48; RP 5/7; DR/5-Cold/Fire; DR/7 Kinetic; 1 Neg Lvl; invisible)
Dash (SP 14/45; HP 35/35; RP 5/6; invisible)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Rebuilt Kish (Green -66) (Red -77; slowed)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Vetch (SP 49/49; HP 44/44; RP 7/8; Elec/Fire/Cold Res 5)
Abe (SP 49/49; HP 46/46; RP 6/7)(Messalina 70/70)
Draka (SP 0/53; HP 22/59; RP 6/7)

Sure, the crits matter, but it also matters that we 133 in damage across two targets instead of a downed foe with 100 damage on it and 33 on another.

Round 5, Init 18

Vetch sends another blast at the most wounded kish, trying to take one down.

Casting Magic SpaceMissile as full round action.
3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 2) + 3 = 8 damage.

Ehhh.. This is a good encounter for the GM. He gets to have some fun beating down on the heroes. His beasties showing their might, and he gets in a few awesome rolls to flex his own muscles. I think the GM should have some fun too. For Example, Lord Bronin was GM RAH's punching bag from LVL 1-7 in his KingMaker campaign. A bleeding and unconscious Bronin was standard form -it also didn't help that Bronin didn't have a good AC or a helpful cleric.

Zane, becoming invisible again downs another of his potions. He stocked up, but burned through his power bars and is down to the Gaterade Pluses.
serum I: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Seeing the creature move by him, he holds off on attacking and revealing himself once more. He needs to get some of his vim and vigor back.

I think it's an excellent conversation for in character development and discussion. But I guess I'm in the minority.

Round: 5

Abe and Messalina continue their shots on red as they have no cover against him. ”Get out of there Draka - you’re surrounded!” Abe calls out with concern.
Abe corona laser rifle: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 4 = 8 (extra attack) damage(F): 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 4) + 5 = 15
Abe corona laser rifle: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 4 = 11 (extra attack) damage(F): 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 5) + 5 = 15

Messalina frostbite zero rifle: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 damage(C): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

”C’mon ladies, Vampires gave us less trouble than this!”

Dash moves back and hurls more magical missiles at the most injured Kish.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 1) + 3 = 8

Vampires gave us less trouble than this!”

Zane thinks back to that cliffside battle and how it ended with The Zane still feeling at 80% (negative level), and with him zoinked out by the breathstealer.

So, a disembodied voice replies, Uh Coach - that battle was not so easy....
As he puts away his sword and pulls out more serums and Bubba.
part of move action this round.

I think it's an excellent conversation for in character development and discussion. But I guess I'm in the minority.

I don't think anyone expressed an opinion otherwise.

Round 6, Init 18

Vetch, sensing a more frenzied and less focused approach, wants to match his party and fire wildly at each foe, but instead has to just shoot at red, trying to take it down.

Corona Laser Ranged:1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 12 - 4 = 22 to hit;
(F): 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4) + 3 = 11 damage
Charge 12/20

Corona Laser Ranged:1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 4 = 17 to hit;
(F): 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3) + 3 = 9 damage
Charge 10/20

I think it's an excellent conversation for in character development and discussion. But I guess I'm in the minority.

Definitely not the minority. It is great character development. :)

Vetch changes targets as the slowed rebuilt begins to look far more wounded after Abe's precise shooting. Precise shooting that quickly gets worse from shooter's fatigue. Messalina's freezing cold coolant continues to keep the merged alien covered in rime.

To Hit (Swoop Hammer): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Damage (Swoop Hammer): 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Draka's hammer swoops around and cracks right into the rebuilt's head, splitting it open and careening to the ground. Zane heals a small bit while Dash sends more missiles at the remaining rebuilt, losing his invisibility.

Green Slam vs Draka KAC 26: 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 17 - 4 = 17
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 4) + 12 = 21

Green Slam vs Draka KAC 26: 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 17 - 4 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 6) + 12 = 22

The rebuilt paws gently at Draka's scaly body as it caresses her. Vetch begins to fire wildly, a single stray shot striking the rebuilt. The flesh sizzles and pops as the laser melts the flesh and bone alike.

Round 7
Zane (SP 0/65; HP 21/48; RP 5/7; DR/5-Cold/Fire; DR/7 Kinetic; 1 Neg Lvl; invisible)
Dash (SP 14/45; HP 35/35; RP 5/6)

Rebuilt Kish (Green -85)

Round 6
Vetch (SP 49/49; HP 44/44; RP 7/8; Elec/Fire/Cold Res 5)
Abe (SP 49/49; HP 46/46; RP 6/7)(Messalina 70/70)
Draka (SP 0/53; HP 22/59; RP 6/7)

Round 6:

Draka roars out in anger as she's injured. "RAUUUGH!" She wants to adjust her camera but she also doesn't want to lose precious time. She lifts up her Swoop Hammer and angles to towards the green enemy's head. "Die!" I think Draka is okay to hit, but please move if not.

To Hit (Swoop Hammer): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Damage (Swoop Hammer): 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Round: 6

Abe steps up to avoid cover penalties, and takes his shot on the remaining kish.
Abe corona laser rifle: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 damage(F): 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3) + 5 = 11

Messalina is not so lucky, but she does take a shot as well.
Messalina frostbite zero rifle: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 4 = 9 (cover) damage(C): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Dash reloads his diasporan rifle and fires at the Kish’s ass.

Rifle: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (6, 2) + 7 = 15

Your efforts prove successful as the stitched together Kish falls to pieces as each attack hits.

Zane drinks another of his serums.
serum i: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Zane breaths heavily. He appreciates the skills and talents of his teammates. They were able to do great things.

Permission to rest a bit and wipe some of this blood and Kish gunk off? Maybe reset the bone in the nose?

Zane spends a resolve point to recover his Stamina Points.

”Whew!” Abe wheezes as the battle ends. He knows how luck he’s been - there were some very close calls, but he managed to survive with little injury to show for it for a change. He smiles at his fortune. He searches the bodies, and then stands watch as others rest.

”Man those guys were much tougher then their counterparts. Whatever happened to them in here, made them tough. Be nice if we could get a taste of that without all the, you know, nasty side effects. Maybe their medical bay needs a simple adjustment.” he dreams on as he looks about.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

.....eleven,twelve, and thirteen.
Zane gets done counting all the rusted syringes that are in the trashpile. most, but not all of those came out of his backside and lower lumbar. He counted one or two extra that managed to have missed him.
Hey-ya Vetch. Can you check to see if those were infected? The Zane doesn't want any nasty side effects.

Hey-ya Vetch. Can you check to see if those were infected?

Vetch looks at the summation of *The* Zane's injuries and shakes his head.

"I can see your spleen and you worry about being infected? Dude, that squirting blood? I think that's aortal...maybe, just maybe, we should stop you from drowning me in the pools of your blood," Vetch goes over to help Zane as much as he can.

While Zane presumably uses a stamina point, Vetch will use his second healing touch of the day to restore 35 of his hit points.

"That was a heck of a fight," Vetch replies, getting to work.

”Man those guys were much tougher then their counterparts. Whatever happened to them in here, made them tough. Be nice if we could get a taste of that without all the, you know, nasty side effects...”

”Might be an improvement for some.” Dash comments, not saying who, but maybe sort of glancing at Vetch.

”Ok, rest up, take your vitamins and stuff. We’ll head out when Zane’s ready to play.”

Dash plops down on the ground sets his mind to reboot.

Resolve to rest and restore stamina.

When the group is good to go, Dash scouts ahead, this time casting an invisibility spell before everyone is bleeding all over the g##-d&!ned place.

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 is invisibility still +20?

@Dash- Yup, that is all the same.

After such a brutal fight the group takes a few minutes to recuperate and pull the needles out of Zane's backside and spray-bandage the puncture wounds. Luckily as far as Vetch can tell The Zane doesn't seem to have contracted any sort of alien diseases.

With everyone ready or at least near it Dash blends into the environment and scouts ahead. Through the door the android finds a long hallway with four unopened doors. Three to the north and one to the south.

Dash tiptoes over to the closest door and carefully inspects it before trying to quietly crack it open.

Stealth + Invis: 1d20 + 9 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 20 = 38
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

The walls of this room, though dirty, are a soothing aquamarine color, and remnants of comfortable-looking furniture poke out from the rubble of the northern walls. The dusty floors and lack of murals hint that no one has stepped foot in here for some time. These rooms resemble some form of recovery room after a procedure.

Dash moves down the hall, passing one door to check the last one on the left, then backtracking.

Stealth: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (9) + 29 = 38
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Apart from debris from a collapsed ceiling, this room seems empty, though the thick layer of dust on the floor appears to be have been recently disturbed. Dash doesn't notice much out of the ordinary within the room.

Already blew the perception checks.

”A whole lot of Jack sh!t back here so far.” Dash whispers on the comm. ”One more door left.”

Dash slips across the hall and cracks open the last door.

Draka also want to rest and reapply makeup. The vesk looks forlornly down at her broken nails. Nobody told Draka how hard it was to keep a manicure while adventuring.

Using 1 RP to recover Stam.

~*~*~*~*~

The vesk taps the handle of her gigantic Swoop Hammer to her shoulder, watching the android sneakily explore. Draka not understand why party hide, the vesk muses. Her covers her mouth with a clawed hand and yawns.

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

Zane stares at things. Not seeing much.
perception: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Vetch skitters after Dash, trailing well behind where the droid might be, but not really sure.

1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28 Perception
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 Culture
1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20 Perception

* * *

Vetch will ready at the next door for Dash to be ready to move on.

Abe doggedly follows Dash, rifle at the ready, while he sends Messalina to hover over Dash’s shoulder to assist as needed. He pokes his head in the rooms as they go by.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32 vs DC 25
Culture: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 vs DC 20
Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27 vs DC 30

”Hey, check this out.” he calls to the others. ”See here, this is a kish face, drawn in the dust by one of those changed kish. It’s meant to be an apology or farewell note or some such I think. Hard to know how these kish think after being changed, or before really, but that’s my best guess.”

There is an air of solemnity in this austere room. A capsule five feet in diameter and eight feet tall sits on a ten-foot square platform in the center of the room; it is made of some kind of shiny metal, and dozens of wires, cables, and tubes sprout from its surface. Many of the wires run to a freestanding wheeled console nearby. A six-foot-tall door opens into the capsule. A small shrine covered in dried flowers and small wooden icons stands against the western wall. Doors lead north and south out of this room.

What?!
Seeing the strange contraption.
Huh?!
Well this shiznitz is all up to ABE and Messelina.

Zane leans up against the wall. He pulls out Bubba in case there's trouble, but he doubts it.

Waiting for others with far more technical skill to come in and figure this wacky machine out.

"Draka and Draka friends in tomb? This sad. Draka not add this to feed." The vesk stares at the small shrine before adding: "Flowers dead. No visitors recently."

Draka moves to the North door (see map) and waits for the others before opening it.

Vetch skitters closer, looking at the contraption with a sniffing nose.

1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30 Perception

Any kind of check might help Vetch understand what's going on?
