Iron Gods: Forged into Legends

Game Master polyfrequencies

Not that they're alive, but you have to appreciate his enthusiasm...

Thawm proceeds to bless Dirissa's weapon, hoping that the blessing will help guide her weapon away from errant lamps.

+2 sacred to attack for Dirrisa

there won't be a lamp standing by the time Basil and I are through. Genies of the world, beware!
Frustrated, Dirissa rages against the robot, swinging her hammer with renewed gusto.
hammer PA: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 18 dam: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8

Gauntlet and Dirissa damage the moving machine. It still looks like its holding together though.

Round 5
Thawm, Gauntlet, Basil, Dirissa <--
R2 (-20)

Attack, Touch, Target in Melee: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 4 = 18 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Basil, having a loaded and unjammed gun, adjusts her position to get a free line of fire at the Robot now that the other danger was taken care of, aiming at what seems the most vulnerable spot, and pulls the trigger.

Basil's attack shreds into the machine. Though it continues to repair itself.

Does that trigger attack of opportunity for you, to used a ranged attack in melee? Guess it does not matter with a 1
AoO against Basil: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

The machine tries to lash out at Basil.
R2 Basil: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Round 6
Thawm, Gauntlet, Basil, Dirissa <--
R2 (-26)

"NO! BASIL!"

Slam Attack!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Damage(Magic): 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 = 14

Finally a decent hit!

Roll 20 did not load for me. I did intend to step away from the machine.

Where the machine hit Basil, the wounds glow with an eerie blue light bright as a torch as tissue knits itself back together. Basil readies to fire once more, but waits to see if Gauntlets most recent strike managed to shut the robot down.
Holding for now, but repair nanites kick in for 6 healing, so 4 damage remain.

Gauntlet's strike hits true and the machine stops wirring and sputters. Falling to the ground.

As you all look around the room you notice a variety of monitors flashing strange words.

Linguistics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

"These machines are failing! They are requesting...re-booting? The machines need new boots? Where would they have feet?"

"Boots? Nonesense."
Thawm, too short to peer over Gauntlet's shoulder, peers past his arm.

Linguistics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
"Re-boot... I can't even- is there a big yes button? Maybe that would shed some light on the meaning?"

"Hrmph, they're jerks, they don't deserve new boots!"

Basil is able to understand the writing natively: "Maybe their cores are in their boots, or what passes for boots among them?"
She looks at the downed Robots, inspecting their lower parts: "We should see what happens if we affirm the question. Their purpose must have been something else, they were not created for combat. But they seemed operational enough to out rule a malfunction causing hostile behavior. My theory would be that there was either a complex-wide order to attack intruders for all machines, or a madness spread among them like illness. Getting a machine re-cored with a new, untainted boot from storage could possibly shed some light on what happened here."
She proceeds to look for a yes-button while talking to the monitor:<Androffan>"Affirmative. Commence Re-Booting. Replace Core."</Androffan>

With a click on the screen, Basil seems to activate something. You hear a wirring noise, and the machine seems to flash light then spinning pictures appear on the screen. A few seconds later it seems to show positive message.

You are not 100% sure what happened.. But, the two destroyed robots in the room, have stopped making any noise. Lights there still blinked softly in portions of their destroyed armor have turned off. You suspect that they are shut down, beyond just destroyed by you.

You are still aware of the door to the west.. and the door you entered from.

Keldor moves to the new door.

"Best to check this now I think."

Is the door locked? Any sounds?

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

"Anticlimactic."

Thawm decides that Gauntlet might need some extra protection and prays to Nethys accordingly. I'll go with +2 to saves this time xD

Through the door you can hear what sounds like very heavy foot falls. And whirring sound. It does not seem locked.

Turning back to the others, Keldor relays what he hears.

"Great!. It sounds like another possible robot to me. Everyone ready? I will open the door Basil, so go ahead and take a shot if something looks hostile again. OK?"

Once he gets the go ahead, he will open the door and step back to let Basil get a shot off first if needed/possible. Then he will step up and through the door first again.

"Just a second."
Thawm prays and Gauntlet becomes imperceptibly harder to hit.
"OK."
+2 AC since the door didn't bite you xD

As the door slides over with a simple button push. An immense machine looms in the south in this room, its upper portion obscured by tangled of hanging cables and cords. The device looks something like an enormous oven, its front open with a rotating belt of green leathery material connecting to a wide metal table. Metal desks with flashing lights sit to the east, while a second rotating belt of leather moves through on opening in the east wall Two dead orcs lie at the base of this second belt.

Standing in the center of the room is a large bulky human looking machine. Armored carrying a small rod with a white glowing tip. It turns to the group and says:

घुसपैठ का पता चला। शुद्ध प्रोटोकॉल की शुरुआत। कृपया नीचे खड़े हो जाओ और सबमिट करें, घुसपैठियों। शुद्ध प्रोटोकॉल प्रति कोर दिव्यता निर्देश के अनुपालन की मांग करता है।

Surprise Round

Round 1
Dirissa, Basil, Thawm, Gauntlet <--
G

Roll20 has been updated

Linguistics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

"I think it says it will attack unless we 'submit'?"

"Submit to a Purge protocol, you mean. I doubt any of you would survive that process."
Basil fires twice in quick succession, the bullets making contact, but unable to pierce the plating, leaving dents as they get deflected into other parts of the room. "I believed this would be more effective. Re-Evaluating."
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 Dice: 1d8 ⇒ 1
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Dice: 1d8 ⇒ 3

"Let's not try that."
Thawm quickly pulls out a stick of butter and casts Grease (DC 14), turning the stick into an oil slick under the machine.

This particular foe looked kinda scary with his shiny wand thing, so Dirissa decides to try to take it down before it hurts them too badly. With a low growl, she runs past Basil into the room swinging her magic hammer. activating rage as a free action, running in and attacking with magic hammer
magic hammer: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18 dam: 1d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Keldor moves into the room to support Dirissa, swinging quickly!

Slam Attack!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Damage(Magic): 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 6) + 4 = 12
Slam Attack!(Crit?): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage(Magic): 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 6) + 4 = 16

"Back off robot!"

Basil's shot strike true. Hitting the armored exterior, but it bouches off. It seems to be made of very hard material.

Thawm's spell glissens the floor.
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
The creature's metal legs slip and crashes to the ground.

Dirissa's hit strikes true, hitting the armor, but with enough force to seemingly damage its interior.

Gauntlet''s strike hits the prone figure, not quite able to hit it in a joint between plates, but still doing damage to it Not quite a crit.. just a bit too high of armor

The creature, on the floor, attempts to stand up. Is able to, but leaves an opening up for everyone else.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

As it stands it swings hard with its glowing device in its hand, but misses as its is being bombarded by the group.
G Gauntlet: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Round 2
(Dirissa and Gauntlet can AoO)
Dirissa, Basil, Thawm, Gauntlet <--
G(-9)

Basil moves past the enemy, provoking it to attack with her unguarded flank, before suddenly dropping to the floor and turning around, trying to sweep it's legs.
Trip, Untrained, Flank: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 2 = 19
If it has Combat Reflexes, that was stupid. If it does not, it was good - better than the alternative, that is.

Taking advantage of the moment, Keldor swings again and again!

Slam Attack! - AoO!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage(Magic): 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 = 7

Slam Attack! - AoO!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage(Magic): 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

As Basil moves too quickly and closely to the machine for comfort, Thawm prays for Basil's protection before calling out.
"Give me a heads up next time!"

+2 Sacred bonus to Basil's AC
Dunno if that can help against an AoO xD

AoO: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13 dam: 1d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

Dirissa tries to smack the thing as it stands back up, but her blow glances off its armor. Grinning madly, she swings again, really putting her back into it this time.

magic hammertime PA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 - 1 = 24 dam: 1d4 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 8

Both Gauntlet and Dirissa's attack miss the creature as it attempts to stand up.

As Basil moves to try to trip the creature it swings out with its stick, but misses as the others' attacks bounce off its shell. The trip attempt strikes its legs, but it stands too sturdy.
G Basil AoO: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Gauntlet's swing strikes true. Counting flanking with Basil, since she has a Cestus.

Dirissa's main swing strikes true and rings out inside the creature's shell.

The creature looks at the group and continues its assault against the largest foe, Gauntlet. But again misses its target.
G Gauntlet: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Round 3
Dirissa, Basil(+2 to AC), Thawm, Gauntlet <--
G(-16)

Thawm decides that it's Dirissa's turn to receive help again. Thawm's god helps guide the gnome's hammer.
@Dirissa: extra +2 to attack :3

I could only penetrate with more adamantine bullets, and the weapon blanch was expensive. I'd like to keep some in reserve, plus if I move to fire, the flank is off.

Noting the sturdyness of the opponent, Basil half-heartedly shoves it to force it to acknowledge her: "Ydinsi on vioittunut. Hanki uusi käynnistysvarasto! Pysähdy ja lopeta hyökkäyksesi!"

Hoping to take advantage of Basil's help, Keldor swings again!

"Stupid machine! Face 'Gauntlet' and fall!"

Slam Attack! + Flank + Aid: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 19
Damage(Magic): 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

With Thawm's additonal bonus, she figures she can't miss. Of course, the rage might inspire that kind of overconfidence, too.
magic hammer PA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 - 1 + 2 = 25 dam: 1d4 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 11

Both Gauntlet and Dirissa crash down onto the creature.

The creature swings the glowing stick once again at Gauntlet. Seemingly focused on him. Increasing the force of the swing.

G Gauntlet: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 9 + (6) = 19 (6 of that is Electricity)
Gauntlet Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Fail

Gauntlet's central nervous system gets a shock of energy and it seems to hinter him/it just a bit.
1 Round, -1 on Attack, skill, and will saves. and -4 on Concentration checks. This is a mind effecting, so not 100% sure it works on your summon

Round 4
Dirissa, Basil Thawm, Gauntlet <--
G(-26)

Think of it as a organic suit of Temporary hitpoints that overrides my Physical stats ONLY. Its Keldor's mind...Gauntlet currently has none in this state. Once I hit 17th or 20th level I can split off a version that moves and attacks on his own...THEN he will have sentience. I would get some part of his fort saves bonuses per his Con here, but that's about it. PLEASE NOTE: As an Inevitable type, Gauntlet (and I) get a +4 bonus on saving throws against death effects, disease, necromancy
effects, paralysis, poison, sleep, and stun. Is this a stun or paralysis effect? Sounds like a stun rod to me... No matter what I do, I can absorb no more than 6 more points of damage, so Gauntlet gets dismissed either way after the blow hits.

With a flash of electric light, Gauntlet's form seems to emit bountiful amounts of steam and begins to fade suddenly as Keldor drops to his feet...

"DAMMIT! Your will regret...this action automaton!"

He immediately begin to try casting a spell...

Defensive casting concentration check(DC19): 1d20 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 3 = 21

Corrosive Touch Touch Attack!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Acid Damage!: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 3, 2) = 6

If I truly failed my save against his stick attack, even iwth a +4 bonus, then I think I may fail the concentration check and miss the spell.

AH yes. Then you passed the save. It was a stun effect. So you where able to cast defensively. Though you missed with the touch attack. Even if I add flank in there with Basil

The summoned armor of Gauntlet drops away, Keldor's attack misses the target.

Round 4
Dirissa, Basil Thawm, Keldor <--
G(-26)

Swapping Gauntlet for Keldor on Roll20

Hopefully Gauntlet disappearing will confuse the creature's programming... if I can stay standing, I can still try to touch again on my next action.

"Hold on!"
Seeing Gauntlet disappear, Thawm rushes over and casts curative magic on Keldor.
CLW on Keldor: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

casting Bless > CLW
I'm touching him rather than him touching anything, so it's fine, right? :3

Correct! My hand is charged with the energy, not the rest of me.

Basil wishes to step sideways to help Dirissa by distracting the creature further, but finds the greasy coating on the floor to be problematic.
Instead, she opts to help Dirissa by trying to grab on to the creatures limb.
Aid Another(Dirissa): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

I feel useless here - @grease: not theoretically problematic, my acrobatics is great, but I think I can't 5-foot step into it. It does not specifically state the area is difficult terrain, but since the movement is at half speed, it would take 10 feet of movement to move 5 feet, which is more than a 5-foot-step allows...it always seemed to make the most sense. If GM interpretation is different, I'd gladly step into a flank, too.

My understanding of 5 foot move is that you can always take a 5 foot move unless something specifically prevents it, regardless of terrain, as its just 5 feet. You just have to accept whatever happens (reflex save) in that terrain once you enter it.

Basil moves and helps out Dirissa. Thawm heals Keldor a bit of his damage.

The gnome is ready to attack the metal creature!

Round 4
Dirissa, Basil Thawm, Keldor <--
G(-26)

thanks for the heads up Keldor. I thought I already went this turn
GNOME SMASH! Or try to anyway.
hammer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 dam: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Assuming, Basil moved a 5 foot step, as we agreed was doable. Don't forget the Aid another and Flank which would be another +4, which beast the AC. So unless Basil has an issue with it, I am going to move her the 5 feet.

Dirissa slams down with her hammer. Slightly getting through the armored Hide of the creature.

Panels along the robot release a swarm of small machines that swarm over the creature welding and folding broken bits back together. Healing the humanoid looking robot. Heals nearly all damage, does not provoke.

Round 5
Dirissa, Basil Thawm, Keldor <--
G(-3)

This guy is hard. Litterally. Going to need to figure out how to work with Hardness I think

"Did it just heal itself?" Thawm asks incredulously.
Alarmed, she begins casting Enlarge Person.

Acid bypasses Hardness I think.

Keldor draws his overlarge curved Elven blade from over his shoulder, and reaches out with his left hand to smack the creature...

'Corrosive Touch' Touch Attack!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Acid Damage!: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 2) = 4

Crit?

'Corrosive Touch' Touch Attack!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Acid Damage!: 3d4 ⇒ (3, 1, 2) = 6

Let's hope it has a terrible Touch AC! I don't think I'm getting any flanking bonuses am I?

Acid does not pass Hardness. And Via the discussion, Basil is going to try to provide flank for both of you, with maybe one aid to only one of you. If she does provide flank, it does crit

Basil moves to provide flanking to Keldor who shoots his hand forward corroding some of the metal.

Round 5
Dirissa, Basil(kinda), Thawm, [Keldor <--
G(-8)

Ahhhh...I see. Admantine! That bypasses hardness. That's gonna be important then.

hammer: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 = 16 dam: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Dirissa's really mad that she can't hit this damn thing-hopefully the flank helps.
