Hephaistos Raising... An Iron Gods thread

Game Master Helikon

He looks a little puzzled.
Laddie, what or who are those

Through the Spores the Vegpumies reproduce. The infected being will be turned into another one.
No other special attack, but you think they took other plants as weapons.
They are vulnerable to cold damage.
Their weakest safe is reflex.
They explode after death into spore clouds.

does Mouse have a move before the plant guys?

Mouse blinks and groans as his eyes begin to glitch: visions of the spores breaking through the skin of Druneor and himself, visions of the plants exploding as Gin dices his way through, and finally visions of the plants clumsily dodging and dying from ice magic force their way into his mind.

"N-No t...time, D-D-Druneor!"

The young wizard stumbles groggily through the group, mumbling as he casts grease under the crowd of Vegepygmies.

I placed a template on the googledocs where I want it. It should hit three Vegepygmies and none of us. The DC is 16!

Refl: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 V1
Refl: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21 V2
Refl: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 V3
Unfortunatly all 3 can stand.
Suddenly two of them vomit towards Gin, spraying him with acid.
2 DC 13 reflex saves
2d3 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3
2d3 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Gin braces his Blade up trying to block the disgusting spittle and barf.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Afterward his Anger grew and though his wounds seemed not to heal his weapon swiped through seeking to make quick work of the plant-people. He chopped down with great force. They could not run while greased.

Ragin Powerful Blade Slash: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 292d8 + 12 ⇒ (7, 1) + 12 = 20

So I take two damage

Confirm Ragin Powerful Blade Slash: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 212d8 + 12 ⇒ (5, 8) + 12 = 25

good to see mouse back in action Encouraged by Gin's aggressive attack Kunala pulls his hammer and swings It at the head of the nearest plant creature.

MW Warhammer, Coldiron attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 for damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Another two explosion showering Gin. Same DC for resisting the spores.

Two?

Confused at this point. I have no idea how many we're still facing or what round we're in

Kunala killed another one.
Second round.
Kunala has to two Fort safes too

after smashing the little nasty plant man it explodes into spoors, Kunala exclaims "Yuck, why must things explode like this"

fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Ahh didnt know that.. though seems a little longer than second round.. well I suppose if combat ended then started again

Ragin Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Ragin Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

so is just one left? is it the one behind Gin?

Indeed

Who needs to act left?

Draenor, Nicolas

sorry was in a null signal zone for the last couple of days
Druneor lets mouse go and pauses while he breathes deeply
still restricted to move actions until next round

Nic cast grease so its the last ones turn

Still reeling somewhat from the potent poison, Druneor slowly unwinds his Dorn-Dergar while he tries to regain his balance.

This is my move action, until next round. :)

so do we assume that Nicolas succumbed to the plant and press on?

With a cry Nicolas jumps forward and attacks the last one, forgetting his armor training. But the fates are against him and while he misses the creature, the creature does not. With a big grin it claws him twice, opening two horrible gashes in his neck. With a cry of pain of his lips, Nicolas falls down, his eyes broken before he hits the ground. With a cry of rage Gin slashes once and the last enemy is dead, sipping green blood on nicolas.

Blast, these plant things got the better of Mouse, what will we tell his 'father' Moving to Mouse, finding him dead, Kunala shakes his head and ask "Should we take his body to his father?" Then removing the technological wonder for capturing images he asks "Who will carry the image device?"

Coughing, and regaining his feet druneor shakes his head sadly. Aye, we should bring him back, but after we take those views

i will carry it for now unless someone else wants to

Relieved that someone else would take the technological device, Kunala searches around the room before they press on.

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 well it's one better than taking 10

Chel moves into the room, careful to avoid the remains of the creatures (and Mouse) with a look of distaste. He starts to examine the room and plants.

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Gin seems to harden more than normal, he was a bit too slow. It would not feel good especially with his wounds agitated. He closes the remains of the man's eyes before propping him up respectfully. He makes a small prayer giving Mouse an honorable take off.

Getting up from his knees he grips his sword once more as similarly his mind was clear and body no longer wracked with grief and fatigue. he move forward into the unknown.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Looking around you have no clue, but yu have the feeling this is a place for raising plants. Why it is here you have no clue.

Druneor wraps his weapon back around his chest, and then follows along.

The map needs to be adjusted

As Kunala follows Gin he tucks his hammer in his belt and loads his pistol, wonder if I should remind the team we have the raise dead scroll, I believe I will keep that bit of information to myself

Chel will examine the plants, after which he'll make sure to thoroughly clean the dirt off his gloved hands, then carefully pick his way through the room after the rest, avoiding dirt as much as he can.

Still waiting until it gets adjusted as all i see are the remains of last battle and alot of blue bars

The stench of mold and decay fills this open, dark chamber, no
doubt created by the thick blanket of fungal matter coating the
floor. Several chairs sit before work tables containing unusual
tools and equipment, while a row of doors line the curved
southern wall.
Only lighted by the greenish glow of the room before, Gins half-elfen eyes can still see quite well.

Gin is blessed by his heritage and twitches his ears and narrows his eyes the try and detect anything out of the ordinary.. well.. more than the usual before inspecting the room with his body as well.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

In the corner Gin can see 4 small bodies, partly overgrown.

Gin announces his findings to the group unsure what the bodies are at the moment. " Theru isu bodies. "

Know Local DC 10: 1d20 ⇒ 9

knowledge local: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Kunala follows Gin into the room and nodding, "You are right, my friend, shall we take a closer look?' pulling the vegetation back slightly he observes "They are gnomes, the appear to be wearing holy symbols of Brigh, do you think they may be the local clerics sent to investigate?"

while he is this near the four unfortunate souls he takes the time to check the bodies for anything of value.

he will take 10 (13) on perception searching the bodies

KN Local: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
KN Nature: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

"What ghastly little vermin. Those things we fought were using the bodies to help create their young. Or at least use them as a food source for them."

Druneor pauses with the relevation.

Then I suggest we hurry, as myself and mouse were both in the cloud of the first one that died.

As soon as Kunala starts poking the bodies a thin lash attacks him.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 211d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

ouch, do we roll init? is it obvious what we are fighting?

As Kunala is lashed across his face and chest he jumps back squealing aaaggghhhh he begins to draw his pistol looking for an obvious place to shoot at.

Please roll int.enemy has ini 10

Gin sees Kunala stricken by the reed and reacts.

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Know Nature DC 10: 1d20 ⇒ 15

init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
know nature: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Kunala fliches, "Blasted whipweed" drawing his pistol and fires pointblank at the plant.

move action: draws pistol, attack: pistol, pointblank, steps back 5 ft.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 for damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
confirm crit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 for damage: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 7, 4) + 3 = 15

init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Rapidly drawing his Dorn-Dergar, Druneor gets ready to hit it.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
BAB,STR,Focus
damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

2 more rolls under 10 :(
Maybe I should go through all my games, and make a chart and percentage then complain. :)

Gin steps up to the Plant creature and brings his blade down, still recovering from the last bout, his fervor not taking him.

Powerful Blade Slash: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 202d8 + 9 ⇒ (5, 2) + 9 = 16

With a blast and with Ball and blade hitting the reed, the plant is reduced to nothing more than pulp.

Gin sighs and examines the results before looking over Kunala, the Sentinel noting the injuries.

Kunala flops down on the floor beside the pulped plant, loading his pistol he looks up at Druneor and asks in his accented lisp, "Druneor, good dwarf, would you use that wand or some spell or whatever you clerics do on this lacerated shoulder of mine?" then pointing over at Gin's gapping wound he adds "And Gins wound also, he is much tougher than I, but we don't want anyone bleeding all over the cave here, It may ruin the images the fancy machine will be saving" Smiling slightly at his own idea.
