Iron Gods FOC: Diamonds in the Rough (Inactive)

My icon disappeared when I tried to move it.

hahaha dont worry kaad I'll fix it.

sorry guys i dont always have the ability to post on the weekends! (Also in japan my weekends are essentially your friday-saturday)

@kaad, fixed!

@Keed please subtract 5 damage from the previous attack. the d6 was electric, which you indeed resist, thanks

I'm wondering if we've lost Jean...checking her other aliases, she posted a week or two ago to bow out of another game due to having moved to a location with poor internet service :(

Damn, that sucks but I think you're right. Another one down =( In times like this some magical backup would be really nice too.

@Felicia, Id love to give flavor bonuses, but in my experience bending the rules when it comes to combat often makes the world fall apart, so to speak. My DM style is "build fair, play to win", and I think following those rules leads to a more authentic experience for all players =)

A moment of silence for Kaad, who fought valiantly until the very end.

@Kaad feel free to let me know if you'd like to roll up another character ;)

I think I might be up for making a new character too...

Thanks for letting me play. I am not interested in creating another character. This is a fun AP though. Good luck!

Yikes...should we consider retreating here? BoB is about the only one that's been able to put much of a dent in this thing so far and Fijit's healing magic isn't bottomless... :\

Also, it's been fun playing with you Kaad and I'm sorry to see you go!

Hey thanks Palo. Maybe I'll see you again in another game. Cheers!

@Askra pm with your ideas please!

@Everyone You have four rounds, which end immidiately if you attack, better get creative!

run come on guys think outside the box. This one is kind of easy I think. I have a good idea that I think would work for sure but BoB wouldn't have it or be able to pull it off. If GM says its ok I will share. If not I will wait until given and order.

What if I asked BoB for a tactical analysis of alternative solutions?

@BoB thats what i like to hear! please PM me you ideas

@BoB actually just to speed things up feel free to post your metagame ideas here so everyone can see and discuss. I'll chime in if there's anything I wont allow.

@Felicia you may ask away

I would entangle its legs with as much rope as we can have in the time we have. Move away and when it becomes hostile it will come at it. It doesn't seem to have any actual intelligence, but can take commands. Hoping it falls over as it tries to advance it would be on the ground like a giant turtle. If we have any reach weapons. I hope someone does. BoB could use the reach weapon to slowy pound it to the groud. It may try and craw forward but probably lacks the ability to stand up from prone. Too bad Kaad wasn't able to trip it earlier. This is an assumption that it doesn't have the movable parts to stand.

How long would it take to get Knonnir out of the pod?

I could go with that idea, Sir BoB. Palo only suggested running away because she's a bit shell-shocked and because her player's brain was stalling trying to think of something useful to do ;)

Getting Khonnir out was my other concern too, but I'm betting it would take longer than we have to get him out. That pod probably has some sort of special locking mechanism or command needed to open it...

You won't know how long it will take to get Khonnir without perception on the pod.

The robot is actually humanoid. So it can naturally stand and sit the same way humans do. Of course, if its legs are tied up this will be more difficult for it, assuming it can't break the rope. (DC 23 Strength)

ah its humanoid, oh well. It doesn't matter I don't thik anyone has a reach weapon anyways and we may not have time to pull it off.

Plan B It only attacks those that are threatening it so surround it. Palomia, Askra, Felicia, and Relas aid my AC. That will bump me up to a 23 against it. Fijit can be ready to heal me. Best thing I got with so little time.

If I get that Finesse vial my AC and damage potential should be pretty close to the same as BoB. Worst case I can burn my last panache to either parry or dodge a strike.

Okay, I will try and get a post up shortly where Palo gives that to you; she should be able to squeeze past the thing and into the room with you and Relas!

@Everyone: If you are still attempting to tie the robot's legs you'll need to roll a CMB vs his CMD.

@Everyone else: feel free to post readied actions for when the robot's standby wears off like Felicia did. Remember to add flanking if you have it.

I'm a littelunclear what the strategy is. But I'm happy to help in any way - make my own attack, Aid Another, lie down and trip his regal roh-botness with my leaking vital fluids….

I think we're opting to 'regroup' and fight; Palomia gave Felicia the Finesse injection to boost her Dex so she should hopefully be able to help BoB put this thing down. Now that she has done that, Palomia will probably try to tie this thing's legs up or something with rope to slow it down or make it stumble.

You guys either roll the cmb or aid BoB. I think I can snake out of an attack if it gets thrown at me.

Guys don't bother ;)

Hey yall, happy weekend! Just wanted to give a quick reminder that you're main mission from Dolga is to discover the reason for the disappearance of Torch's flame, and to recover Khonnir Baine. Please use this main quest as inspiration for your action posts.

ALSO. We have lost two players, Jean and Kaad. To keep the game moving, and to help with difficulty, I will be recruiting one more player.

Sounds like a plan, TRO! Depending on who/what we recruit, I may steer Palomia in the direction of filling some of the skill stuff that Jean covered...or at least picking up the Androffan language the next time we level. Guess she'll need to pester Fijit for some lessons ;D

Haha i'm sure Fijit or BoB would love that! lol

Here is the recruitment thread if anyone wants to pop in!
Recruitment

I was thinking in downtime Fijit of someone with the skill set could keep altering BoB's programming trying to make him more and more human like as we go.

@BoBThat is the direction I'd like to see us go as well. Though Fijit may be too aloof to do something like that haha

@Everyone please take note of BoBs idea

Androids are humanoids and constructs, but I don't think cracking his head open is something I could do at this level. Granted, there is probably a lot of weird tech lying around this ruin.

Well I should think, based on the assumption that this is purely flavor, BoB should be able to tell you how to safely access his Dynamic User Interface. There could even be some fun if you fumble a roll. Suddenly an old subroutine kicks is and BoB starts dancing like crazy while speaking spanish... xD

I'm good with however we decide to play it out.

@Fijit @Felicia @BoB I was also thinking it would be something of a soft reprogramming. A-la the movie AI where you speak the programming verbally.

@Felicia Sick reference

@EVERYONE we will have TWO new PCs joining. They will post here to say hello soon. Please welcome them, and they will join us in Gameplay shortly thereafter.

Thank you for the invite, GM! And hello everyone! Hoping to have some fun with you all; from what I read, the adventure so far already seems pretty crazy. Can't wait to see what lies ahead. :]

Welcome Gwyndle and Ladim (when he posts here)! I'm looking forward to playing with you two and having you join us on our crazy hijinks ;)

Hello all! It's nice to start playing an AP again. I've read the 20-odd pages in the game, and you look like the kind of party everyone wants to play in.

See you in the game!

Two sorcerer's? Arcane power upgrade :), But BoB is still sad with all his ability damage, or he would be if he learns emotions :)

Hehe. Arcane power we got in heaps. Would you mind if I dot the gameplay thread? Let's me keep it easier to check.

Any suggestions on what to use the rest of my 889 gold pieces on? Always feels awkward hauling around so many leftovers from starting wealth.

I got about 2000gp as well, so I know how you feel. I'd suggest stockpiling it for a while, until we need it to either invest in something, or just buy a headband of Charisma like boring people too.

Or invest in a golem army. I prefer the golem army option, never fails. (Except when it does.)

Potions, scrolls, or a wand can be good investments too, depending on what you think you'll need!

@Ladim Relos feel free to dot the gameplay thread! Also, I highly encourage frivolous spending ;)

@Ladim @Gwyndle You have both been PMed, please replay and we'll get rolling =)

Hey Palo:

Regarding talkative/decisive PCs...yes please, a Chatty Cathy would be a nice balance as well. Right now the current party comes in various flavors of: strong, silent, angry/pessimistic, excitable, oddball ;)

Which one am I? ;P

All but silent! ;)

FYI, currently out and away from the lappy but I will post when I get home later tonight!

Just wait till you fix BoB's programming and he is a real boy :)
