INTERACT
Notice Perception DC 32; Disable Disable Device DC 29
EFFECT
10d8 electricity damage (Reflex DC 25 half) to anyone touching the door; typically an electrified door triggers only if a creature attempts to bypass or force the door; electrified doors connected to a generator have no charge limit, otherwise the trap has only enough energy to function once with no reset
Tyren flashes into sight above a chasm. As he's about to fall, his fey powers kick in and with a slight glimmer he begins to float instead. He makes a quick glance around, taking note of the whirlwind of activity in the center...That doesn't look like as much as I recall, he thinks to himself, but ultimately shrugs. They're all enemies. I'll have to get rid of them regardless.
While the droids and apprentices were certainly fearsome foes, Tyren felt that the true danger here lie in the mushrooms. There were simply too many of them. So, he began playing his song and went to work.
Upon beginning his musical performance, Tyren wracked his brain for the best way to approach the mushrooms. He knew he'd identified them earlier, but he hadn't been particularly concerned with weaknesses...
With these final touches completed, he began his dark dance of skulls. Whereas the first had seemed like a constant barrage of smoke and light, this one seemed more like a fan of light, striking erratically into the cyclone of death the opponents had thrown up.
Seeing the supposedly empty room, Amunet-Ra herself becomes invisible, walking into the air, positiong herself a little off from the rest, so any area attack would not hit her, readying herself to respond to anything happening.

Fading Strike
Discipline: Veiled Moon (Strike) (teleportation); Level: 2
Initiation Action: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: Up to the disciple’s movement speed
Duration: Instant
DESCRIPTION
The disciple learns the basic technique at this level for walking between worlds to reach locations that previously could be inaccessible on the mortal world and potentially attack foes at those locales. As a standard action, the initiator may either teleport to a location no farther away than his maximum movement speed, and make an attack action against an opponent as part of the same standard action, or attack an adjacent target and then teleport to a location no farther away than his maximum movement speed. The teleportation destination must be clearly seen by the disciple to teleport to that location, and it must be unoccupied.
One of the three droids circling the lair of the kreen Wraith Kchac'Thraa the Inimitable turns to pointedly to regard the gathered Company of the Broken Tablet, especially Ri'Kli'Klek.
It is built in the shape of a large, six-legged insect.
This war droid is a statuesque machine that is meant to strike fear in it's enemies before decimating them with it's impressive arsenal. The outer shell of the droid is made of thick ultrachrome plating and it's innards are protected by ultrachrome and durachrome. While this droid handles some serious damage thrown at it, it's weaponry is enough to deal out more than enough damage to take out anything in it's way.
This war droid moves through the battlefield, shaking the earth with each step, striking fear in all who oppose it.
Mounted on top of the droid is a camera.
From the front the camera looks almost square, with the lens sitting in the bottom right corner and the chunky hand grip on the left. Around the back is the very distinctive flip-out and twist liquid crystal display. There are three buttons below the liquid crystal display, these relate to 'soft buttons' the function of which are shown on the the liquid crystal display.
Within the crystal liquid display, the terrifying shadowy visage of the defiler begins to materialize,
"Fools! Your new allies' powers will avail you nothing! For you see, I no longer require the great arcane powers bequeathed by the legacy of Zak'Chul to defeat your petty pretenses. The great power of the Ancients Ones and their unsleeping minions has been opened unto me, and I shall unleash their limitless power against your pitiful forces."
The fiery eyes of the wraith turn to regard Ri'Kli'Klek. It screams,
"Meet your fate traitor! The Wrath of the Red God has fallen upon this place. The Red Shadow of His Anger shall smother you!"
The droid fires upon Ri'Kli'Klek using its plasma lance, and is quickly joined by its two fellows:
Plasma Lance (Ex) An annihilator can fire a 120-foot line of plasma from a tail-mounted projector. All creatures and objects in the area take 20d6 of plasma damage (Reflex DC 22 halves). The save DC is Intelligence-based.
Plasma Overload (Ex) A mythic annihilator can expend one use of mythic power while firing its plasma lance to increase the effect to 20d10 points of plasma damage. Any creature that fails it Reflex save continues to take 20d10 damage each round for the next 1-3 rounds as the plasma clings to them. A successful Reflex save in a later round halves the damage and ends the effect. Immersion in water or taking at least 25 points of cold damage (before applying immunities, resistances, or vulnerability) extinguishes the clinging plasma. The annihilator cannot fire its plasma lance for 1d4+1 rounds after using this ability.
Ri'Kli'Klek had been anticipating an attack... but not three, not focused on him, not so fast. He hardly has time to think much less move before his body is vaporized.
[dice=Reflex]1d20+10
Ri'Kli'Klek had been anticipating an attack... but not three, not focused on him, not so fast. He hardly has time to think much less move before his body is vaporized.
The shadowy substance of the wraith roils as if a raging tidal current, its terrible, gleaming, red eyes glistening brighter even than a pair of fully-enkindled coals. Kchac'Thraa cackles riotously in preening victory,
its awful jubilation causing the great cavern to shudder,"Behold the great power of these choice tools of the exalted Ancients! They are mine, and mine alone to command! You shall bow, or you shall die! Cast off the alliance with this miscreant and his lizard slaves, and serve me, foolish mortals!"
Seeing one of the few companions he had actually liked get annihilated Hamza yells out a response to Kchac'Thraa. "You fool! Do you not sense we bear the blessing of your Red God? You just destroyed a fellow devotee! Now you shall suffer our crimson wrath!"

Death Ray
Price 140,000 gp; Type one-handed ranged; Proficiency exotic (firearms); Damage special; Critical —; Range 200 ft.; Capacity 1 canister; Usage varies; Special slow-firing, touch; Weight 1 lb.DESCRIPTION
A death ray is a handheld, wand-like weapon that fires a harmless carrier beam of energy at a target. When the beam hits a target, the death ray then projects a stream of specialized nanites through the beam into the body of the target. When firing a death ray, the wielder must decide how many charges of nanites she is consuming, to a maximum of 10. Even if the wielder engineers a method of using a larger reserve of nanites than normally come in a canister, this maximum does not increase. Immediately upon being struck, the nanites inflict incredible pain on the target, which must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw to avoid a grisly fate (DC = 10 + twice the number of charges consumed by the attack). For example, if 1 charge is consumed, the target must succeed at a DC 12 Fortitude save to resist the death ray, but if all 10 charges are consumed in the attack, the DC to resist the effects is 30.
If the target fails this save, it takes 100 points of damage as the nanites tear apart the victim’s cardiovascular system. On a successful saving throw, the victim takes only 6d6 points of damage. Creatures slain by a death ray die spectacularly, seeming to melt into a pool of blood that swiftly fades away. The victim’s gear is unaffected by this attack. A death ray has no effect on creatures that aren’t living (such as constructs or undead) and can’t penetrate a force field. The wielder can’t score critical hits with a death ray. A death ray has a maximum range of 200 feet with no range increment.

Jimbli
Rokan backs up, fading to the rear of his party where he can work in the shadow.
Let's see if the machine can be slowed down...
Jimbli growls and scowls seeing Ri'Kli'Klik incinerated... He blinks closer to the mass of foes. There is a brief crackling sound as he waves an arm in an arc. A shimmering transparent wall forms just beyond the constructs.
He glowers at the three metal foes... wordlessly taunting them.
When hit by a melee or ranged attack, you can expend one use of mythic power as an immediate action to replace yourself with an illusory duplicate and teleport to any open square within 30 feet of your current position. You take no damage from this attack, which instead destroys your illusory duplicate (similar to mirror image). Using this ability requires a line of effect to the teleportation target square.
• You can reroll a failed saving throw, taking the higher of the two rolls.
• You can force an opponent who has just hit you with an attack or succeeded at a combat maneuver check against you to reroll his attack roll or combat maneuver check and take the lower of the two rolls.
You may only use a single one of these abilities per round, and activating them is a free action that can be taken even if it isn’t your turn.

It is now time for the two great True Drakes Puthyrith-Rainsey and his sister Chanthavy-Chanvatey to act.
They each conjure a great disposition from the Elemental Stronghold of Earth to trap several of the myceloids:
Elemental Attack (Earth) (Su): Once per day an
earth drake may gate in 50 cubic ft. of material from the
elemental plane of earth. This material is composed of
rock and soil and must be gated onto a solid surface but
may be in any shape the drake desires. Any one caught in
the area the material is gated into must make a Reflex
save (DC 23). A failed save means the victim is trapped
under the earth and is affected as though by an avalanche
(see DMG Chapter 3). The save DC is Charisma-based.
Two immense blocks of solid earth manifest in the midst of the marshaled myceloids, consuming thirty of the fifty combatants within their impenetrable confines.
They each then enact their impressive psionic powers to grow to even greater dimensions.

Power Points 1DESCRIPTION
This power causes instant growth, doubling your height, length, and width and multiplying your weight by 8. This increase changes your size category to the next larger one. You gain a +2 size bonus to Strength, a –2 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum of 1), a –1 size penalty on attack rolls and AC due to your increased size.
If your new size is Large or larger, you have a space of at least 10 feet and a natural reach of at least 10 feet. This power does not change your speed.
If insufficient room is available for the desired growth, you attain the maximum possible size and can make a Strength check (using your increased Strength score) to burst any enclosures in the process. If you fail, you are constrained without harm by the materials enclosing you—you cannot crush yourself to death by increasing your size.
All your equipment, worn or carried, is similarly expanded by this power. Melee and projectile weapons deal more damage.
Other psionic or magical properties are not affected by this power. Any affected item that leaves your possession (including a projectile or thrown weapon) instantly returns to its normal size. This means that thrown weapons deal their normal damage (projectiles deal damage based on the size of the weapon that fired them). Multiple effects that increase size do not stack, which means (among other things) that you can’t use a second manifestation of this power to further expand yourself.
Augment You can augment this power in one or more of the following ways.
If you spend 6 additional power points, this power increases your size by two size categories instead of one. You gain a +4 size bonus to Strength, a –4 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum effective Dexterity score of 1), a –2 size penalty on attack rolls, and a –2 size penalty to Armor Class due to your increased size.
If you spend 6 additional power points, you can manifest this power as a swift action instead of a standard action.
If you spend 2 additional power points, this power’s duration is 10 minutes per level rather than 1 minute per level.
"Incoming!
The elf shrieks as another large force of the lumbering fungus men joins the melee, descending from another chamber in the cavern complex to the shadow-strewn, and moss-enshrouded western side of the cyclopean space.
Seeing the supposedly empty room, Amunet-Ra herself becomes invisible, walking into the air, positiong herself a little off from the rest, so any area attack would not hit her, readying herself to respond to anything happening.
[dice=Perception]1d20 + 42
In addition to perceiving the large force of enemies, the keen-sighted elf can detect a number of defensive mechanisms, seemingly missiles of some fashion, placed at regular intervals around the large space.
There's more machines at the ceilings! Beware!
you can hear the voice of Amunet-Ra shout out from somewhere nearby, but she's still invisible.
"I fear very much that we are surrounded companions! We must break through their ranks quickly, lest we be swallowed up in their fearsome ranks!"
The liquid crystal display of the optical device perched atop the hexapedal droid once again awakens to unnatural life. The dreadful profile of the mighty wraith seems to shudder as it cackles in a booming cacophony, louder than thunder,
"I have prepared well against your advance, and shall dispatch you treacherous wretches all to the very depths of the lifeless Gray!"
Without even looking into direction of the dreaded wraith's chasm, the still invisible Amuet-Ra moves towards the mass of mushroom people.
In astonishing speed she dashes forward, ducking down in a martial arts move, lifting the first one of his feet and throwing it behind her, kicking and pummeling it, just to crash it hard against the floor.
As the wraith cackles unnervingly, the walls of the vast chamber erupt in new motion. A bristling cavalcade of some one hundred fearsome artillery turrets stirs to life, whining collectively with a high pitched keening as they begin to seek their unfortunate targets...
"Blessed Mother of Us All, the enemy is receiving further reinforcements!"
cries the druid, as another large company of the shambling fungus-men enters from the far side of the vast chamber, opposite that of the Companions of the Broken Tablet.

Like an invisible whirlwind Amunet-Ra thrashes through the ranks of the fungi men, tossing them prone.
Hamza calls forth the darkness around him to coalesce into a shadowy duplicate of himself, which swiftly moves into a position of flanking with it's 'master'.
"Itko, can you and the drakes do something about those artillery turrets, before they unleash their deadly firepower upon us?" Hamza shouts as he infuses his blade with chilling darkness.

The elf's whirlwind of attack quickly disperses and overwhelms the shambling fungus men.
Hamza calls forth the darkness around him to coalesce into a shadowy duplicate of himself, which swiftly moves into a position of flanking with it's 'master'.
"Itko, can you and the drakes do something about those artillery turrets, before they unleash their deadly firepower upon us?" Hamza shouts as he infuses his blade with chilling darkness.
The druids speaks, and evident strain in his voice apparent from concentrating his powers on maintaining his artifact's magic-dampening abilities,
"If they have metal minds, perhaps one of my royal charges can reach into them and cloud their perceptions."
Tyren, eyes on the hulking behemoths that had recently annihilated their friend and ally, was intent on ensuring that the same didn't happen to anyone else. He began strumming the chords on his lute, when a resounding whrr-ksht! clattering sound could be heard, as a metallic behemoth of a soldier was dropped next to Tyren, and a large figure clad entirely in Lamellar armor dropped next to Jimbli.
It rose from its knees, and took a scowling look around the battlefield. On its' hip rested what looked like a carved bone blade, single-edged and slightly curved. In the other hand was a skull, not unlike the one Tyren himself used--saved that it was held in a hand situated between what appeared to be an arm cleft in two. At the ends of the arms were not additional hands, but openings of some sort. A scent of grave soil and decay wafted about him, and his lamellar armor was a dull red.
The metallic soldier was already standing as it landed, surprisingly nimble for its' massive size, and immediately began ascertaining the situation. In its' massive hands were a shield as tall as it, formed clearly from clay packed onto something solid to give it a rigid frame. Its' other hand held a spear, easily as long as it--Though this combination should have proven impossible to wield, something about the way it held the shield seemed to support the spear, though the moves were so precise and quick as to be almost impossible to follow.
The bard locks eyes with the droids and begins a series of very precise notes in rapid succession. To others, it at first comes across as random, imprecise plucks that, the more they listen to it, has a hard, seemingly entirely man-made melody. It sounds like the sounds of the steelworks of Tyr, perfectly made in unison; a sound of hope, and yet almost certainly of despair. It is accompanied by a ballad, composed as a requiem of the progress of man and how, in their ascension to power they lost sight of the spirits that made them who they are.
The metal hulk begins immediately by analyzing the area around it. It emits countless red lights from it, which seem to glide across the ground before abruptly flickering off. "The battlefield is within my grasp. I shall now begin defensive operations."
There's a lurching sound as SADIE readies itself in a mobile, defensive stance, ready for anything.
Calling out in a metallic voice, SADIE utilizes her red lights to tag opponents and calls out tactical advise. While the din of combat seems like it would drown her out, the strength within it seems to cut through the noise like paper.
After providing an analysis upon the battlefront for her allies, SADIE begins the efforts of coordinating those around her, rallying her allies to be better capable of facing the enemies before them. "Draw them into an assault," she advises, And I shall strike them down."
Finally, with all the other threats acknowledged, SADIE regards the massive droids before her contemplatively.
The Red Ronin stands, silently regarding the battlefield before him. He keeps an idle hand on his katana, even as the chaos around him threatens to overwhelm everything. Finally, after confirming for his own eyes the situation, he crouches down, a tiger in the ready.
Once he's ready for battle, he begins a slow, monotonous dissection of the tactical weaknesses of his foes and how best to overcome them. It's strange, but...It seems to match the melody of Tyren's song, and is almost comforting, in a way.
Finally, Le-Xan turns to Jimbli, staring at him with eyes that seem to pierce the veil of the soul. He bows before the druid and says "My Tactician has placed great faith in you this battle. My blade is your shield; my flesh, your armor."

The droids are the products of Voidcorp, a space-faring human conglomerate that came under the influence of the Stoneburners and their various client races. These robots are clearly the legacy of an ancient Blue Age conflict where the mechanical knowledge of Voidcorp was enlisted on the side of the Stoneburners against the lifeshapers and their Glassmaker patrons.
Voidcorp
During the late 20th century, Microtel grew to be one of Earth's most powerful corporations. With the expansion into space, Microtel formed a corporate division called VoidCorp. It's purpose was to carry the companies influence into space. It was met with great success as the corporation claimed and settled several systems with skilled employees. VoidCorp pioneered the technology of interstellar information exchange by creating the first drivesats and holding a near monopoly on it. VoidCorp wealth and influence grew exponentially. In 2274 a VoidCorp owned vessel discovered the jungle world of Sheya, and through a carefully worded contract the Sesheyans found themselves under the permanent employ of the company. Every child, human or Sesheyan, is a VoidCorp Employee from moment of birth. When the First Galactic War erupted in 2299 VoidCorp took sides with many colonies and declared independence from its parent company, Microtel. With its own nation formed it was able to dictate policies and laws unimpeded. It decreed that Employees were company property and forbidden from ever leaving the company, even death was no exception. Such aggressive inclinations led indirectly to the Second Galactic War, which went mostly in their favor except for the betrayal of their Insight division, which fed tactical information to the FreeSpace Alliance. That and the great Grid crash brought on by Insight dealt many blows to VoidCorp infrastructure. But undaunted, VoidCorp continued to survive, albeit halted progress. Even to this day, VoidCorp refuses to recognize Insight's independence.
Today VoidCorp remains unchanged. Its centuries old focus is on computer software, hardware, and the Grid. Its Draconian practices still form the most regimented way of life known to man. To VoidCorp management, this structure is the most advantageous avenue for profit, and VoidCorp employees raised in it accept it as a fact of life. At the lowest level, employees are little more than slaves. Over 70% of the population fits this mold. Once in a skilled or managerial position, employees grow intensely competitive. The society succeeds, evolves, and holds itself together through struggle. When a superior is gone, machinations to gain position take over. Political maneuvering, favoritism, and backstabbing are well established; informers are rewarded. Deaths of superiors that remain unexplained guarantee promotion. Officers of vice president rank and above live anonymously. As Machiavellian as it sounds, the system works. The company is still recovering from the Grid crash and rebellion of Insight but doing well in spite of it. The war with Insight still rages on but in the unseen battlefield of the Grid, but VoidCorp continues to deny being either the instigator or victim of any act of sabotage.
Rank is everything. Stop at nothing to get it. Among employees, such statements are common, even accepted. It's survival of the fittest, a form of corporate Darwinism. Employees can be found in every corner of human space, often following orders they don't fully understand, or even orders that contradict another Employee's. Despite this reputation for faceless interaction, VoidCorp does not permit retirement. Employees must work until death. When found, escapees (called "absentees") can expect harsh discipline, if not literal termination.
There are three droids: a scorpion, a hexadepe, and a wasp.
Scorpion:
Ranging from three to twenty feet tall, the scorpion droid can use its legs to attack infantry in its way. As well as their powerful pincer legs, VX-9 scorpion droids are armed with two twin ion cannons located within the pincers of the droid's arms, they also can be converted into blaster cannons interchangeably depending on circumstances. The annihilator droid is armed with two dual rapid-fire laser cannons cocked back in the menacing form of a rampant scorpion.These cannons were capable of rapid fire and can be firelinked for maximum firepower. The Scorpion's tail carries a high-powered beam weapon capable of piercing armor and cutting down entire troop formations. Alternative weaponry include rocket launchers or flamethrowers in the pincers and a heavier laser weapon for anti-air work. It can target with either a crimson photoreceptor, or with a composite radiation sensor.
It also carried a combination particle-energy shield. Because of this extra shield, its allies can position themselves inside the annihilator's shield for more protection.
Hexapede:
Designed as an exceptionally lethal combat droid, shaped similar to a scorpion, the SKD-84 Combat Droid is a war droid designed to be fast and well-armed, though it does admittedly lack in armor. Similar to the scorpion, the SKD-84 is designed to go all out on the offensive. If someone were to get behind it, they would have an exceptional opportunity to attack it without the droid noticing. Armament-wise, the SKD-84 has three pairs of razor-sharp claws, inside of which are plasma cannons.
A key issue with the SKD-84, noted in testing, is its limited field of view. With the way the optics are set up, the droid only has a view of around 160 degrees. As the head has limited mobility, it cannot see enemies attacking from behind until it's too late. If in combat mode, it will rather consistently turn around to look for enemies, but not if it's been undisturbed. Surrounding it and letting someone attack from behind while the SKD-84 is preoccupied is a suggested tactic.
Wasp:
Information is power, and never is this truer than for the genocidal droids at Voidcorp Research & Design. Knowledge from a wide variety of sources allows them to make precise moves in their plan to purge all organics.
Tapping upon his inner reserves of power, Hamza boosts his already lightning quick reflexes to near blinding speed.
He then proceeds to assault the wasp droid with a dizzying array of mystical strikes and hammer like blows, attempting to fully disable his foe.
Spinning his kama around in rapid succession he pummels the wasp's wing in a trio of quick attacks, attempting to ground the bug.
Arms are the manipulating limbs of a creature, including tentacles. Wings are also considered to be arms for purposes of a called shot. Called shots to the arm are easy (–2 penalty).
Called Shot: A called shot to an arm deals no additional damage, but for 1d4 rounds, any attack rolls, ability checks, or skill checks made using the wounded arm take a –2 penalty. A flying creature shot in the wing must make a Fly check to avoid descending involuntarily .
Critical Called Shot: A critical hit to the arm deals 1d4 points of Dexterity damage and 1d4 points of Strength damage. A successful Fortitude saving throw halves the ability damage (minimum 1 point to each attribute). The target also suffers the effects of a called shot to the arm for 1d4 minutes.
Debilitating Blow: A debilitating blow deals 1d6 points of Dexterity damage and 1d6 points of Strength damage. The blow renders the arm useless until healed unless the target succeeds at a Fortitude saving throw. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the arm is severed or otherwise mangled such that only regeneration or similar effects can repair it. The target also suffers the effects of a called shot to the arm (if the arm remains usable) for 2d6 minutes.

Hamza focuses his preternatural senses, and seeks a particularly vulnerable spot in his foes defenses.
He then summons the darkness within him, and reaches out to each of the three droids, claiming and cursing them.
Tyren, eyes on the hulking behemoths that had recently annihilated their friend and ally, was intent on ensuring that the same didn't happen to anyone else. He began strumming the chords on his lute, when a resounding whrr-ksht! clattering sound could be heard, as a metallic behemoth of a soldier was dropped next to Tyren, and a large figure clad entirely in Lamellar armor dropped next to Jimbli.
It rose from its knees, and took a scowling look around the battlefield. On its' hip rested what looked like a carved bone blade, single-edged and slightly curved. In the other hand was a skull, not unlike the one Tyren himself used--saved that it was held in a hand situated between what appeared to be an arm cleft in two. At the ends of the arms were not additional hands, but openings of some sort. A scent of grave soil and decay wafted about him, and his lamellar armor was a dull red.
The metallic soldier was already standing as it landed, surprisingly nimble for its' massive size, and immediately began ascertaining the situation. In its' massive hands were a shield as tall as it, formed clearly from clay packed onto something solid to give it a rigid frame. Its' other hand held a spear, easily as long as it--Though this combination should have proven impossible to wield, something about the way it held the shield seemed to support the spear, though the moves were so precise and quick as to be almost impossible to follow.
The bard locks eyes with the droids and begins a series of very precise notes in rapid succession. To others, it at first comes across as random, imprecise plucks that, the more they listen to it, has a hard, seemingly entirely man-made melody. It sounds like the sounds of the steelworks of Tyr, perfectly made in unison; a sound of hope, and yet almost certainly of...

Special Abilities
Ascendant (Ex) As a free action during its turn, a mythic annihilator can expend one use of mythic power to increase the save DCs of all its special abilities by half its mythic tier for 1d4 rounds.
Booster Jets (Ex) By activating its jets as a swift action, an annihilator gains a fly speed of 60 feet (poor maneuverability) for 1 minute. It can use this ability 10 times per hour.
Chain Guns (Ex) The twin chain guns mounted beneath an annihilator’s head never misfire, automatically reload as a free action, and have a range of 200 feet. Microfactories inside the annihilator process scrap into new ammunition, providing effectively unlimited ammunition.
Combined Arms (Ex) When taking a full-action action, an annihilator can attack with its melee attacks and its integrated ranged attacks simultaneously.
Field Boost (Ex) By expending one use of mythic power as an immediate action, a mythic annihilator can boost the power of its force field. For each use of mythic power expended, the force field’s hit points are increased by 2 times the mythic annihilator’s CR. The force field’s hit points cannot exceed 5 times the mythic annihilator’s CR (100 hp for most mythic annihilators) at any one time through the use of this ability. Using this ability reactivates the force field if it has already collapsed.
Keening (Ex) As a move action, a mythic annihilator can strop its blades against each other, producing an ear-piercing shriek. The sound deafens, sickens, and staggers creatures within a 200-ft. spread for 1d4+1 rounds (Fortitude DC 22 negates). The save DC is Intelligence-based.
Legendary (Ex) A mythic annihilator adds half its mythic tier to its saving throws.
Plasma Lance (Ex) An annihilator can fire a 120-foot line of plasma from a tail-mounted projector. All creatures and objects in the area take 20d6 of plasma damage (Reflex DC 22 halves). The save DC is Intelligence-based.
Plasma Overload (Ex) A mythic annihilator can expend one use of mythic power while firing its plasma lance to increase the effect to 20d10 points of plasma damage. Any creature that fails it Reflex save continues to take 20d10 damage each round for the next 1-3 rounds as the plasma clings to them. A successful Reflex save in a later round halves the damage and ends the effect. Immersion in water or taking at least 25 points of cold damage (before applying immunities, resistances, or vulnerability) extinguishes the clinging plasma. The annihilator cannot fire its plasma lance for 1d4+1 rounds after using this ability.
Suppressing Fire (Ex) As a standard action, an annihilator can saturate a 100-foot cone with chain gun fire. Each target in the area sustains a single chain gun attack, including targets the annihilator cannot see. The annihilator ignores miss chances from concealment when using suppressing fire.
Targeting Computer (Ex) If a mythic annihilator foregoes making melee attacks, it adds its mythic tier to its ranged attack rolls, halves the penalties for range and Deadly Aim, and automatically confirms critical hits. This includes attacks with suppressing fire.
Unfettered (Ex) By expending one use of mythic power as a swift action, a mythic annihilator automatically dispels all non-mythic spells and technological effects affecting it. Effects from the annihilator itself are unaffected. The annihilator remains immune to ongoing non-mythic spells and technological effects until the end of its next turn, although instantaneous effects affect it normally.

Special Abilities
Disease (Su) Purple Pox: inhaled or injury; save Fort DC 16; onset 1 minute; frequency 1/day; effect 1d2 Wis and 1d2 Con damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. A creature that dies of the purple pox becomes bloated over the course of 24 hours, after which its body bursts open, releasing a fully grown myceloid. Additionally, as long as a creature takes at least 7 points of Wisdom damage from the purple pox, it must make a DC 16 Will save each day to avoid becoming affected by a lesser geas (no HD limit) that compels the afflicted character to seek out the nearest myceloid colony in order to offer itself up for spore domination. The save DCs are Constitution-based.
Fungal Rapport (Su) A mythic myceloid’s telepathy allows it to communicate with all fungi and fungal creatures, as if using continuous speak with plants but affecting only molds, slimes, and fungi. A mythic myceloid can spend one use of its mythic power to use clairaudience/clairvoyance (caster level 5th) on any location within range where mold, slime, or fungus is present.
One of Us (Sp) As a standard action, a mythic myceloid can polymorph a willing creature afflicted with purple pox into a myceloid, as if that creature had cast plant shape I (caster level 5th). If it spends one use of its mythic power, a mythic myceloid can use this ability on an unwilling creature that is not afflicted with purple pox (DC 16 Fortitude negates). If the target fails its saving throw, it becomes charmed by the mythic myceloid as long as it remains in myceloid form. The mythic myceloid can increase the duration of this effect to 5 hours by spending one use (or an additional use) of its mythic power. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Spore Cloud (Ex) Once per day as a standard action, a myceloid can expel a 10-foot-radius burst of spores centered on itself. This cloud persists for 1d3 rounds. Any creature caught in this cloud or that moves through it is exposed to the myceloid’s purple pox disease— a creature need save only once against any one spore cloud, however, before becoming permanently immune to that particular spore cloud’s effects. The spore cloud does not hamper vision.
Spore Domination (Sp) This spell-like ability functions as charm monster, but functions only against creatures currently infected with purple pox.
Taste Emotion (Su) Mythic myceloids detect the presence of creatures affected by fear effects, effects with the emotion descriptor, or effects that provide a morale bonus as if they had blindsense in a 30-foot radius and blindsight in a 5-foot radius. When a creature adjacent to a creature that gains a morale bonus from any effect, a mythic myceloid can spend one use of its mythic power to gain the same morale bonus(es) for 1 minute.

They each fire a pair of rocket launchers into the ground at the center of the enemy party.
Rocket Launcher
Note: The text of this item has been updated per official errata. [Source]Price 10,800 gp; Type two-handed ranged; Proficiency exotic (heavy weaponry); Dmg (M) 6d6 f, 6d6 blu.; Dmg (S) 4d6 f, 4d6 blu.; Critical —; Range 120 ft.; Capacity 10; Usage 1 (disposable); Special slow-firing, touch; Weight 10 lbs.
DESCRIPTION
A newly created rocket launcher contains its entire load of rockets and energy charges. It cannot be reloaded, and once its final rocket is fired, the weapon is useless. Rockets fired from a rocket launcher can target a single target or a grid intersection. A creature that takes a direct hit from a rocket cannot attempt a saving throw to reduce the damage taken. When a rocket strikes its target, it explodes in a 30-foot-radius burst that deals fire and bludgeoning damage to all creatures within that area of effect—a successful DC 15 Reflex save halves the damage for all but the target. Some rocket launchers carry alternate loads, replacing the fire damage with electricity or cold damage, and there are rumors of rocket launchers capable of doing even more damage, firing gravity-based weapons or using radioactive payloads.
