Iron Gods Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Daniel Penfold 351

Grezzag stands his ground, double-axe at the ready. "If it isn't robots, it's demons! I bet they're in kahoots!"
________
+1 Doubleaxe (Readied, PA, Haste): 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 17 - 3 + 1 = 241d8 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 9 = 27

Grezzag deals the creature a mighty blow but not all of the damage gets through.

Zimdoz your action

Hoping to slow the creature down, Zimdoz unleashes a poison ordnance, and then reloads extremely quickly with paper cartridges, issuing a quick rapport of damage.

Heh, hasted attack.

+1 dragon pistol, ranged touch, haste, ranged penalty, tanglefoot ordnance, secretion, PBS: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 21
+1 dragon pisol damage, tanglefoot ordnance, secretion, pbs: 1d4 + 2 + 4d6 + 6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (3, 5, 2, 5) + 6 + 6 + 1 = 31

+1 dragon pistol haste attack, ranged touch, haste, ranged penalty, tanglefoot ordnance, secretion, PBS: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 15 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 27
+1 dragon pisol damage, pbs: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

+1 dragon pistol iterative attack, ranged touch, haste, ranged penalty, tanglefoot ordnance, secretion, PBS: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 26
+1 dragon pisol damage, pbs: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

If the first hits, the enemy takes 21 fire damage and 6 damage from poison. In addition, if it hits, the enemy must make a DC 19 reflex save or be stuck to the ground (if it's flying, then it can't be stuck - but it's entangled). In addition, if hit, it must make a DC 19 fort save or be dazed and fatigued.

Zimdoz's first shot just misses, the following shots hits but the creature takes no damage.

The mishtu moves forward and tries to attack Grezzag but misses.

tentacle: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Poshment, over to you.

"Get it again Grezzag! It has too many tentacles for one swing to put it under!" Poshment cheers.
________
Guidance on Grezzag, so far *knock on wood* nothing major has happened to us!

Block 1, back to you

"Alright, let's see how many tentacles I can lop off in a single swing!" Grezzag challenges as he starts up his signature blender technique with magically enhanced speed.
________
+1 Doubleaxe (PA, Haste, TWF, Guidance) vs Mishtu: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 231d8 + 13 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 6 = 27
+1 Doubleaxe (PA, Haste, TWF) vs Mishtu: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 = 151d8 + 13 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 6 = 22
+1 Doubleaxe (PA, Haste, TWF, Doubleslice) vs Mishtu: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 = 151d8 + 13 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 6 = 21
+1 Doubleaxe (PA, Haste, TWF, Iterative) vs Mishtu: 1d20 + 12 - 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 - 3 + 1 - 2 = 251d8 + 13 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 6 = 21

They do count as magical it's a +1 weapon. Post later.

Alldur launches a salvo of magical missiles at the creature.

Magic Missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 1) + 4 = 14

Updated its hit points due to magical damage

Grezzag deals a series of mighty blows to the creature, as it is reeling from this it is then struck by Alldur's missiles. It is still there but only just.

Zimdoz loads one of his bullets pretty quickly, and tries to fire at the enemy.

Plus 5-foot step - can't move myself atm, sorry.

+1 dragon pistol, ranged touch, haste, ranged penalty, PBS: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 23
+1 dragon pisol damage, tanglefoot ordnance, secretion, pbs: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

No ordnance this attack.

Zimdoz's bullet strikes the creature. It manages to avoid the stickiness and daze effects of Zimdoz's ordinance and attacks Grezzag

reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Fort save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

tentacle: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

tentacle: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

tentacle: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

tentacle: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Poshment, over to you.

"You're doing great buddy, slash more tentacles!" Poshment encourages.
________
One tentacle attack lands on Grezzag, DR 2/- reduces it to 1 damage. Shield Other: G takes 1 point and P takes 0 points. Guidance on Grezzag, our luck still seems to be holding out!

That DR seems to be good. I'm glad we got it for poor Grezzag.

Block 1, back to you.

Alldur launches and acidic arrow at the creature.

Acid Arrow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11 ranged touch

Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

Unfortunately the mishtu is able to dodge the missiles

Zimdoz loads one of bullets pretty quickly, and tries to fire at the enemy.

+1 dragon pistol, ranged touch, haste, ranged penalty, PBS: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 34
+1 dragon pisol damage, tanglefoot ordnance, secretion, pbs: 1d4 + 2 + 1 + 4d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 + (3, 3, 1, 6) + 6 + 6 = 30

If it hits, the enemy takes 19 fire damage and 6 damage from poison. In addition, if it hits, the enemy must make a DC 19 reflex save or be stuck to the ground (if it's flying, then it can't be stuck - but it's entangled). In addition, if hit, it must make a DC 19 fort save or be dazed and fatigued.

Grezzag unleashes some of his best swings yet on their foe, proving that he just needs a moment to warm up before the real fighting starts!
________
+1 Doubleaxe (PA, Haste, TWF, Guidance) vs Mishtu: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 231d8 + 13 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 6 = 26
+1 Doubleaxe (PA, Haste, TWF) vs Mishtu: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 = 181d8 + 13 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 6 = 23
+1 Doubleaxe (PA, Haste, TWF, Doubleslice) vs Mishtu: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 = 331d8 + 13 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 6 = 21
+1 Doubleaxe (PA, Haste, TWF, Iterative) vs Mishtu: 1d20 + 12 - 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 - 3 + 1 - 2 = 281d8 + 13 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 6 = 22
First Confirm?: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 17 - 3 + 1 - 2 = 332d8 + 26 + 12 ⇒ (2, 1) + 26 + 12 = 41 62pts if this crit confirms.
Second Confirm?: 1d20 + 12 - 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 3 + 1 - 2 = 172d8 + 26 + 12 ⇒ (5, 2) + 26 + 12 = 45 67pts if this crit confirms.
0_0 that was three 20's in a row! That's nuts!

Between Sid's ordinance and Grezzag's blows the mishtu is pounded into nothing.

Loot: a garnet worth 500gp
a sapphire worth 4500gp
pale blue rhomboid stone

”Oh oh shiny!” Poshment cheers as he scoops up the valuables. ”Any magical magic on them?” he wonders out loud.
________
On mobile, so viewing map is hard. Open to whichever door is most reasonable!

I've assumed you've gone to the next nearest door - F17

The tables and shelves in this large laboratory are all coated with a thin greenish slime. One desk is heaped with pages of notes, and a human skeleton dressed in mouldy robes lies slumped over it. A large glass tank atop the easternmost table is shattered and shards of glass litter the floor of the room, while a pale green haze floats in the air.

"Welp, that's a lot of stuff that could go wrong. Those notes look like Adlur or Zimdoz might want to look at them though, so I guess we'll brave it. First, the tank is broken, but the glass is on the outside. Maybe something crashed out of it, or the gas, item three, by the way, was in it? Then the second thing is the skeleton. I'm hoping that the gas, again item three, did that little number on it, but I suppose another thing could have killed it and maybe, maybe not, it is animated? Third, like I said, that weird gas," Poshment rambles, pausing only to take a deep breath. "Are we going to die?" he asks the others.
________
I'd like to have Grezzag take a shot with his bow at the skeleton, but I think the experts are going to have to take a crack at this haze! I think Poshment could also prep a Detect Poison spell in a first level slot.

"That haze is a little disturbing. Green usually isn't a 'breathable' color." Alldur does his best to study the haze.

Looking to figure out the source of the haze or what it is. Residual poison gas? Monster BO? I'll make a flat roll and list my bonuses for my various knowledges. Throw in some detect magic and technomancy for good measure

Knowledge: 1d20 ⇒ 6 arcana, history, local, nature +18 engineering +21 planes +11

Knowledge dungeoneering please

You fiend! My one weakness!

Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22

I picked it up, though, :)

Zimdoz, you recognise the creature as a hungry fog which is a type of ooze. They have damage reduction against everything except magic. They are immune to acid, electricity and sonic and they have resistance to cold. Their attacks do negative energy damage.

[ooc]That's all you get with that roll I'm afraid.[/i]

"Yikes! I guess we sit back and let Zimmy-boy torch it?" Poshment asks.
________
Seems like Grezzag could probably damage it too, but, as is typical for oozes IME we don't really want to be next to it!

As you stand in the doorway a black shape that appears to be constantly babbling appears and seems to fly up into the fog.

Knowledge religion

Zimdoz can damage it with fire though? If Zimdoz can, he'll do a surprise round attack/immediate on the thing if he can. Oozes are no joke. But yes, Grezzag I think can also beat it down.

Alldur looses a signature salvo of magic missiles.

magic missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 1) + 4 = 13

Sorry for my absence PC issues.

Alldur's bolts fly through the air striking the black creature.

Alldur initiative: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Zimdoz initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Poshment initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Grezzag initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Allip initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Hungry fog initiative: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (2) - 3 = -1

Initiative order:
Block 1: You guys
Block 2: Allip and hungry fog
So Block 1 over to you.

"GO mighty blender Orc, GO!" Poshment cries, sending what appears to be confetti from his hands into the air. They swirl in a nonexistent breeze before settling on everyone's shoulders and hopelessly tangling in everyone's hair.
________
Something in my gut tells me this one's going to be a doozy folks! GM, which map are we on? [url=http://legacy.aonprd.com/coreRulebook/spells/goodHope.html]Good Hope[/url on everyone! It is like Heroism but the duration is min/lvl, can hit multiple creatures, and it adds to damage as well.

"I almost like killing bots more than this, but I won't say no to a good challenge either!" Grezzag grumbles before moving up to the Ooze and taking a swing at it.
________
+1 Orc Double Axe (PA, Good Hope) vs Hungry Fog: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 2 = 331d8 + 22 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 22 + 2 = 26
Figure it is safe to say Grezzag isn't adjacent to either foe! Nobody has Religion to actually ID the Allip, right?

Grezzag deals the hungry fog a mighty blow

Anyone else?

'When in doubt, haste it out!'

With that, the party's speed picks up.

Haste from the wand. 5 rounds remaining.

Zimdoz squeaks, afraid of the allip creature, but he focuses and tries to blast down the hungry fog quickly.

+1 dragon pistol, ranged touch, haste, PBS, good hope, rapid shot: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 25
+1 dragon pisol damage, tanglefoot ordnance (fire damage), pbs, good hope: 1d4 + 2 + 1 + 4d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 + (1, 4, 5, 4) + 6 + 2 = 26

+1 dragon pistol, ranged touch, haste, PBS, good hope, rapid shot: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 15 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 30
+1 dragon pisol damage, tanglefoot ordnance (fire damage), pbs, good hope: 1d4 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 9

+1 dragon pistol, ranged touch, haste, PBS, good hope, rapid shot: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 30
+1 dragon pisol damage, tanglefoot ordnance (fire damage), pbs, good hope: 1d4 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 8

+1 dragon pistol, ranged touch, haste, PBS, good hope, rapid shot: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 30
+1 dragon pisol damage, tanglefoot ordnance (fire damage), pbs, good hope: 1d4 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 7

With Rapid reload, rapid shot, and use of paper cartridges, Zimdoz does 4 attacks! Only one is an ordnance attack, though, but all are magic.

Of the damage, 25 is fire, and since all are ranged touch attacks, I think all hit. The enemy must make a DC 19 reflex save or be stuck to the ground (if it's flying, then it can't be stuck - but it's entangled).

With two shots Zimdoz drops the hungry fog which dissipates into nothingness.

(Everyone in 60 feet - will 15 or fascinated.)

babble duration: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

Assuming it is back to Block 1

Grezzag stands there, drooling a little as their foe's sounds swirl his mind.
________
Will vs Babble, DC 15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Uh oh!

"Grezzag? You alright there? Oh geez, let me get that for you," Poshment says, running over to his damage sponge with a cloth. Jumping up in an attempt to wipe his face, what should have been a gentle swipe turns into a punch to the chin.
________
Will, vs Babble, DC 15: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Take a standard to try and rouse Grezzag! Idk if there is a way to know what effect an ally is under without knowing the ability with a knowledge check, so, GM, if this isn't kosher just let me know and I'll retcon!

Will Save, good hope: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 21

Zimdoz cocks his head, "Ugh, more weird things..." he mutters at the babbling.

Will Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Alldur cocks an eyebrow trying to understand the creature's strange babbling. With a shrug he levels a hand towards the creature and looses a bolt of lightning towards it.

Lightning Bolt: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 6, 5, 1) = 21 Reflex 18 for half

reflex save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

The lightning bolt strikes the allip square in the chest and it evaporates in a puff of smoke. As the creature dies Grezzag returns to normal

Loot: Voidfrost robe
wand f gust of wind (18 charges)

Where to next?

Poshment runs out of the room and takes a deep breath. Coming back inside, his cheeks are inflated and he dusts of Grezzag. Giving the Half-Orc a pair of thumbs up, he runs back out for another fresh breath.
________
Ha! Between Zimdoz's ordinance and Alldur's Lightning Bolts, we can handle anything! F15!

This large, tidy laboratory has a foul, chemical odour. Several tables, a few shelves stacked with jars and baskets, and an empty desk line the walls.

"Ugh, why does everything have to stink in this tower! YEESH!" Poshment protests, throwing his hands in the air. He pouts while the investigators investigate.
________
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Zimdoz looks around with his usual aplomb.

Take 10 on perception for 28 (including good hope).

I’m running a little low on charges, FYI, so I hope we get a rest before too long. :)

'Maybe the cleaning staff haven't been by in awhile?" Alldur muses while scanning the room.

Detec Magic

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
