Iron Gods AP with GM Mustache (Inactive)

Game Master Mustachioed

Garfaulk watches as the magic-infused shot fired, hit one of the smilers, and redoubled back into his weapon, seeing it shoot arcane sparks and bits of smoke and metal from it. Cursing mid-song before continuing his chant, he the dwarf rushes in next to Zeke. His fingers began to spark with a blue energy as he grabbed a hold of his friend's weapon, leaving the arcane engery wrapping around it, filling in the cracks.

Jury-Rig on Zeke's weapon :D. There we go, all in the right thread now lol. Surprised I hadn't done that sooner

Thanks, Garfaulk!

After receiving Garfaulk's timely aid, Zeke gives him a look full of gratitude. Not missing a beat, he fires another coin through the gun, aiming at the nearest Smiler.

Ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 24 (BAB+DEX+enhancement+bless+inspire courage-Deadly Aim)
Gold coin damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 9 (CL+enhancement+inspire courage+Deadly Aim)

Then he falls prone, to offer himself slightly better protection during the firefight that is sure to follow.

my bad Zeke, I put my question in gameplay! repost your answer in discussion if you can before it gets locked

This round was a little confusing with lots of ooc posts. Let's try to keep them in discussion. I am just or more guilty than anyone. See? I'm doing it right now!

Wulf can go yet. I'll advance tomorrow morning.

I was a little confused. I'm large btw.

As the bullets bounce off his metal skin Wulf bellows out again. "Come to me! All you're little minions have tried they can't stop us!" He shouts attempting to call in more Smilers.

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (2, 3) + 21 = 26

Attack Cleave??: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (6, 3) + 21 = 30

hp - 79

ROUND SUMMARY!

Wulf and Zeke take two smilers down, while Ton casts a spell and replicated himself.

Garfaulk fixes Zekes gun... Charles is still missing.

Jolga places a stinking cloud in the very corner of the room. It affects four Smilers! Only one resists. Those affected do the only thing they can do... they try to run! The one in the grease is forced to move slowly and only goes 15 feet.

Two Smilers fire their guns! One at Zeke, one at Wulf. Both are hit; Zeke for 2 and Wulf for 8. After firing, the Smiler walks out of the grease and into fresh air.

ROUND 4-----
Smilers
Jolga
Zeke 3, 2 damage
Ton'iel

ROUND 5----
Garfaulk
Wulf 2,5, 4, 8 damage
Charles

Go if you are bold! Note the stinking cloud and how you will have to make a DC19 Fort if you enter it.

Jolga smiles as the Smiling Men cough and hack. That will make things hard for them. He calls to Wulf "We'll deal with these. Destroy those who flee! Return to us if there is too much back there!"

Just an idea. If we'd rather not split the party, that's fine with me. I figure Wulf is almost guaranteed to make a DC 19 fort save against a spell.

Jolga steps forward and evokes the colors of the borealis on both of the Smiling men who are still attacking.

Moved a little. Color spray on both Smilers. DC 17 will save.

Continuing his chanting, Garfaulk takes a step to the side for a clear shot, shooting between allies to hit the one outside the gas right in center mass

Crescendo: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 16
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Reloading, the dwarf couldn't help but laugh amongst his song. Wulf had it right-beautiful chaos

will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Both of the Smilers that Jolga targets collapse to the ground!

Zeke picks himself up and moves across the room to stand between the two fallen Smilers. He looks at them regretfully, pointing his pistol to the southernmost man's head, and mutters the ending line of a poem generally thought to be praising Groetus.

Wulf only nods and heads into the mist, pointing himself at the door he pushes through fighting off the nauseating smell.

Fort: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

Setting outside the cloud he shouts. "You can't get away from us! Now where's the real challenge? " He then swings out at them.

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (4, 1) + 21 = 26

Attack Cleave: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (1, 2) + 21 = 24

hp = 73

Ton and Charles can go yet!

Garfaulk shoots one dead, while Wulf chops down another 2. Just two are left, and one is nauseous and the other is unconscious.

The nauseous one tries to run, but Wulf chops him down.

Zeke ends the last one with a bullet to the head. Executed. But it was needed...

Out of combat!

Grit regained!

Having blown a hole clean through the Smiler, he pulled his gun up in front of his beard, blowing the smoke from the end of the musket "Well, tha was a good fight. i ferget, why're we ere again? Hope it wasn't practice fer us bein stealthy. Weren't we ere to be all diplomatic?" He chuckles either way, looking over his weapon, proud of his creation, before stowing it. "Parker, what else lay ahead, any idea?"

"Let's move hard and fast." Ton says, hustling to the door. "I got spells burnin' here and there's a necromancer around here somewhere to deal with."

Arcane Pool is going to run out. Shield and Mirror Image have about 4 and 5 minutes left so I want to push into this place asap and continue to take advantage of them.

I want to head through these double doors to the north

Jolga cocks his head at Garfaulk's mwntion of diplomacy then laughs when he gets the choke. "We are here to kill the lover of necks." His expression grows hard with grim determination.

"I don't want to waste anything, as Ton said let's keep this moving!" He shouts out pounding his chest following his friend dipping his shoulder into the door opening it in one.

You push through into the double doors ahead, which Charles left open, and go hallway, and into the next room... where Charles is standing at the north end, though you can't see him.

Well over a dozen large glass tanks sit against the walls of this oval-shaped chamber. The tanks themselves are semiopaque with condensation, grit, and filth, but several of them seem to contain some sort of figure within. Each tank has a metal-rimmed door on its front allowing the contents to be accessed, and one tank to the north has been wrapped with several coils of rope.

let me know if the map looks messed up. I seem to remember my live group having a hard time with this map for some reason.

"Wulf, want to do the honours?" Ton says, checking the battery readout on the side of his pistol and finding it nearly full.

Let's move in through these double doors, we can check everything out once we're clear and our buffs have run out

You hear a thumping noise... wham...wham...wham... wham..

It is joined by others, all around you before you can move forward, the tanks burst open and you are jumped by 12 zombie-esque creatures holding greatclubs!

Only one tank does not burst. The one wrapped in coils of rope.

ROUND 1

Ton'iel 24
Jolga 22
Wulf 19
enemy 16
Charles 14
Garfaulk 12
Zeke 9

Go if you are bold!

A bit of a tricky wicket as far as PBP format goes. One player wants to move quickly and steps into a dangerous situation, forcing the other players to go along with them. Remember that ignoring your surroundings can be dangerous to you and ALL the players. It could have been worse though, I didn't get them a surprise round. Perhaps it calls for an in game conversation about rushing.

This action/movement is assuming the zeds are FF. I can probably tell how surprised or ready ro smack they are.

Jolga moves to be closer the exit. "Perhaps we should move to the hall to combat their numbers." Then he casts a spell on Mara who glares with her tiny eyes at the zombie just north of Jolga.

DC 18 burning gaze fort the reflex.

Garfaulk takes his hat off out of respect and goes to fame a closer look, assuming they were dead, when he was reminded of LaRa and how they'd found her. Now hold up a minute Shal'Tar, don't you think we ought to see if these folk are still livin?" he went to turn and look at one of them, trying to clear away some of the filth when one of the eyes opened, making the dwarf jump back as the glass shatters "Or unlivin! Ere we go again!"

Hope that's ok I go back that hair,wanna get my Jurassic Park III moment in

Wulf was right there along side Ton pushing to move on and take out what's left of the place and didn't take a second look at the tanks of what seemed like dead things.

He picks up on leg as the water rushes over his boots. "That's just not right." He winces at the undead. "We best put them down for good!" He steps forward and attempts to cleave the undead in front of him.

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (4, 6) + 21 = 31

Attack Cleave: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (3, 5) + 21 = 29

Can't access map in work right now sorry!

Sorry, everyone, didn't get any notifications for a few days. Just noticed the map was different so I came check.

No problem Charles. A new battle begins!

Ton can go yet!

"These f*cking things..." Ton strides forward beside the door and Charles and sticks his gun right in the face of one of the dead things.

Move action to where I am, swift for Arcane Pool again, standard to fire

Primary shot: 1d20 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 18 (BAB+Dex+Magic 1+Arcane Pool 1-deadly aim)
Fire damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 and Cold damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 and Shock damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

A zombie thing spontaneously combusts, dealing 10 damage. Ton point blank fires at the same one, putting it down.

Meanwhile, Wulf does a little Wulf-patented chop-chop, and ends two more.

The zombies move quickly at you, with great clubs... They don't seem like zombies, in their speed and coordination. They have already cut off your escape out of the room. They begin to hammer their clubs down on you!

1 swing on Ton, 1 on Jolga, 2 on Zeke, 3 on Garfaulk, 3 on Wulf!

Only Garfaulk is hit, once for 7 damage . After these initial attacks, you can't help but notice how poorly they wield these clubs.

ROUND 1

Charles
Garfaulk 7 damage
Zeke (5 from last battle)
---------------
ROUND 2
Ton'iel
Jolga
Wulf (11 damage from last battle)
enemy

EVERYONE GO!

Jury rig has run out on your gun, Zeke. That spell only lasts a short time. So it is broken again.

Mara's fiery gaze targets another zombie while Jolga risks casting a spell and calls forth the flail to attack the nearest zombie.

Spiritual weapon attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16
Dam: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Well, there goes subtle.

Charles moves and strikes out at the zombie to his right, popping back into visibility. strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25damage: 1d3 + 5 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 + (6, 6, 3) = 23

Dodging two blows, Garfaulk found he'd run right in front of a third. Grunting as he was hit, the dwarf had Slagbreather in his hand in nearly an instanto finally, a crowd! The ol girl needed some exercise. Aiming at three while stepping away from them, he gave her a spin before firing into the crowd

Zombie 1: 1d20 + 4 + 3 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 3 - 2 + 1 = 18
Zombie 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Zombie 3: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

BANG!: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Zeke, unwilling to risk causing his gun to explode with another magical overload, instead draws upon his connection to Groetus and channels the energy around him to harm all the undead in the area. He also draws his dagger so that he can threaten the creatures close to him.

Channel positive energy, DC 11 Will save for half damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Does Groetus's blessing of 3d6 when the target has fewer than 10 hp extend to undead creatures? Maybe undead within 10 of their maximum? :)

Wulf laughs. "These things... they're nothing to be scared of! Is this necromancy?!" He swings his hammer out in a wide arc again, attempting to smash in their heads.

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (5, 4) + 21 = 30

Attack Cleave!: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (5, 2) + 21 = 28

Charles slays one; Wulf slays 2; while the others all combine to weaken those remaining.

The monsters weakly swing their clubs again... (Charles 1, Zeke 2, Jolga 1, Wulf 2) The strange monsters can't hope to do any damage... they do not even look proficient with those huge clubs.

But behind Ton, doors burst open! And standing there are four strange monsters, a disgusting combination of rusty armor and blades mixed with the rotting flesh of zombies pic in roll20 journal---rust-risen! Also new pictures that were forgotten- Aldronard and Gunshy the hapless ogre.

Two of the rust-risen attack! The drills grafted into their arms spin and whirl and they try to implant them into Garfaulk and Ton'iel! But no! They can't get through the heroes' armor.

Whoo wee. Eights attacks highest I rolled is a 12. I'm on classic GM Mustache dry spell.

ROUND 2

Charles
Garfaulk 7 damage
Zeke 5 damage
---------------
ROUND 3
Ton'iel--delayed go twice
Jolga
Wulf 11 damage
enemy

Zeke quickly thinks what useful information he can tell about these creatures.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 = 19

He channels again, trying to deal at least a little bit of damage to each of the horde facing them.

Channel positive energy, DC 11 for half damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Zeke has a legitimate chance at sorriest roller behind you, Paul! :)

Primary shot: 1d20 + 3 + 4 - 2 - 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 4 - 2 - 1 - 2 + 1 = 18 (BAB+Dex-spell combat-deadly aim-rapid shot+arcane pool)
Fire damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 and Cold damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 and Shock damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Rapid shot: 1d20 + 3 + 4 - 2 - 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 4 - 2 - 1 - 2 + 1 = 18 (BAB+Dex+spell combat)
Fire damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 and Cold damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 and Shock damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Spellcombat/spellstrike: 1d20 + 3 + 4 - 2 - 2 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 4 - 2 - 2 - 1 + 1 = 21 (BAB+Dex+spell combat)
Fire damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 and Cold damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 and Shock damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 and Acid damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Primary shot: 1d20 + 3 + 4 - 2 - 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 4 - 2 - 1 - 2 + 1 = 18 (BAB+Dex-spell combat-deadly aim-rapid shot+arcane pool)
Fire damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 and Cold damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 and Shock damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Rapid shot: 1d20 + 3 + 4 - 2 - 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 4 - 2 - 1 - 2 + 1 = 13 (BAB+Dex+spell combat)
Fire damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 and Cold damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 and Shock damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Spellcombat/spellstrike: 1d20 + 3 + 4 - 2 - 2 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 4 - 2 - 2 - 1 + 1 = 18 (BAB+Dex+spell combat)
Fire damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 and Cold damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 and Shock damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 and Acid damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Ton steps back and over the course of a few blistering seconds, unleashes hell upon these zombies.

5ft step in round one and firing will provoke once. 5ft step again in the next round means I'm clear. Will target a single zombie until it is dead and then move on to the next

As Ton unleashes hell, he can't help but notices that while overall his blows are having a great effect, something he is doing is causing healing at the same time!

And if you weren't dealing all 4 element damage at the same time, maybe you could figure it out!

Jolga steps north and casts a spell on Charles.

Temp HP: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Aid on Charles. Temp hp and +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear.

This provokes from a zombie and a rust-risen. Conc check just in case. DC 12+half damage taken as Mara will take half the damage. Mara will improve my AC by 2 as well. Mara's hovering over my head, btw. Hard to show on the map. She has a 5 ft fly speed. XD

Any of them go down though?

Zeke quickly thinks what useful information he can tell about these creatures.

[dice=Knowledge Religion]1d20+11+2

These new zombies seem to be sick experiments blending metal and undead corpses! Watching Ton fire upon them, Zeke suspects that the electricity may be helping them rather than hindering!

Despite the electric damage, Ton still manages to take one down and seriously damage another.

But the undead persist in their attacks...

Several of the weaker monsters are still swinging clubs,to no avail as they all miss...

The rust-risen seem like the more dangerous threat! Garfaulk is left on the front lines and gets a serious of attacks. The rust-risen are able to drill with an arm and bite down with a rusty jaw at the same time!

Garfaulk is drilled and bit for 9 damage total! Jolga is drilled for 6!

ROUND 3

Charles -delayed go twice
Garfaulk 16 damage -delayed go twice
Zeke 5 damage
---------------
ROUND 4
Ton'iel
Jolga 6 damage
Wulf 11 damage -delayed go twice
enemy

Zeke calls out to Ton— "Mr., uh, Tobacco! The electricity heals them!" He channels energy one final time.

Channel energy to harm undead, DC 11: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Sorry for the delay. Left my laptop at home yesterday like a dummy.

Charles slices away at the zombie nearest him. magic dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18damage: 1d3 + 5 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + (5, 5, 3) = 23masterwork attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22damage: 1d3 + 5 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (5, 2, 2) = 16

He then presses the attack! If the first target isn't down, attack it. If it is down, he steps five feet and attacks the next one.

magic dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28damage: 1d3 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10masterwork attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

crit confirmation: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18damage: 1d3 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

Sorry for missing a turn. Is the map currently updated with all dead mobs? My plan here is one round cleave two at the bottom to open that up then move past Garfaulk cleave the rust men to cover him.

Wulf starts to get frustrated at the undead not going down. He swing his hammer once more attempting to take some heads off then pushes past Garfaulk attempting to cover his friend. "Get behind me! I'll focus this ones!" He then swings out in a wide arch attempting to bring down the messed up creatures.

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (3, 2) + 21 = 26
Attack Cleave: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (5, 1) + 21 = 27

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (1, 1) + 21 = 23
Attack Cleave: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (3, 4) + 21 = 28

Seeing the incoming attack from the giant robotic monstrosity, Garfaulk grinned the attack passing through him harmlessly as he turned to mist for a brief moment. Windy Escape stepping to the side til get some cover from the drills, Garfaulk took small step to the side before dropping Slagbreather and pulling Crescendo, then fires twice at the contraption

Round 1 Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 2 = 24
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Round 2 Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 2 = 15
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Shot 1: 1d20 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 24 (BAB+Dex+Magic 1+Arcane Pool 1-deadly aim)
Fire damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 and Shock damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 and Cold damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

"Yeah I figured...!" Ton shouts over the blast of his pistol. "Can't do nothing about it now, just keep putting 'em down!"

He then ejects the empty battery and slaps a new one in it's place.

Firing at the one immediately right of Jolga.

I mentioned it in the flavor of my post, but just wanted to check-i don't provoke an aoo from the big guy due to the cover, right? The zombies have their fair share of blows though

Didn't manage to load map. GM, will you five foot step me away from baddies?

Jolga flings sparkling lights on one of the rust-risen.

-2 to attacks from heavens ability.
