Ama swings her blade again, this time suppressing the urge to say "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" so she doesn't ruin the effect of Almalik's illusion.

+1 Keen Adamantine Nodachi, PA, Flanking: 1d20 + 10 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 - 1 + 2 = 28 Damage, PA: 1d10 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 3 = 12
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 10 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 - 1 + 2 = 28 Damage, PA: 1d10 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 3 = 13

Gah, I posted on Friday but looks like it didn't take. I'll try to recreate it...

Nagbur frowns as Almalik explains and then clarifies. "Me no can do 'brutal attack.' And muchly what Nagbur work go through mind on body. If wood-metal things got neither, no much me can do to help."

He pauses to think for a few moments. "How they work? Same like people? If we make room dark they no can see us?"

If it's not too late to restate the surprise-round action, Stinky will manifest Vigor with 1PP augment and Spirit of Many to give everyone 10THP.

@Almalik Not sure what you want to do. You want to show the construct an empty hallway? You cannot make the party disappear unless you make the illusion appear in front of it on both sides, but attacking it would mean the construct is still able to see the attackers. On top of that, both sides would have total cover from the illusion. Seeing that the party is unable to see it and the other way round. Could you please change your action? This one sounds overly complicated and not feasible.

Ama scores another solid hit, sending wooden chips flying.

Combat round 1:
- Ama [+10THP]
- Axe [+10THP]
- Fish [+10THP]
- Idris [+10THP]
- Almalik [+10THP]
- Red Robot
- Nagbur [+10THP]

In bold may act!

The illusion is for anyone who wanders by the hall, not the wooden construct in the hall. So the idea is that the other construct, if it wandered by, would not see the fight. It may hear the fight, but I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.

Almalik maintains his illusion, irritably.

Idris smiled as he saw his plan come to fruition, then launched a trio of heavy blows at the wooden construct. He took Almalik's words to heart, knowing that if the other patrol turned back this way, he would be the one sandwiched between two enemies.

flurry, flank: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 2 = 32
damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
flurry, flank: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 2 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
attack2, flank: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Ah, that makes a lot more sense! I got confused when you said you wanted to make an image of an empty hallway overlaying this one. I thought you meant the whole hallway... But this is a lot better ;P

Almalik's spell struggles for a moment but snaps into place a moment later. Idris pounds his fists on the robot, creating some dents but not doing all that much damage.

Combat round 1:
- Ama [+10THP]
- Axe [+10THP]
- Fish [+10THP]
- Idris [+10THP]
- Almalik [+10THP]
- Red Robot
- Nagbur [+10THP]

In bold may act!

Did Almalik's knowledge check give us any idea of what kind of DR this thing might have?

Axe waits, needing to get into reach to strike at the metal guardian.

They have DR/adamantine. Based on the damage you could figure out the exact amount. But I'm not too fond of telling it outright, since those stats are different on every clockwork robot.

"Bah! adamantine :p

Hurry up! I wanna have a turn!, Axe thinks to Ama and Idris.

Since Fish is small could he take up one of the half squares next to Ama witout squeezing?

Yes, that should work.

Noticing the wood construct is not taking as much damage as it should, Fish activates his sacred tattoo before slipping past Ama's legs. He lets out ferocious growl as he lets his anger take over. Though this time along with the large sharp claws, Fish's muzzle elongates and fills with razor sharp teeth.

Bite+Rage: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 2 = 27
Damage+By pass DR: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Fish grabs hold of a piece of wood and tears it free, revealing complicated machinery behind the plate.

The brawler turns around and faces Idris and tries to punch him in the face, Idris narrowly manages to avoid the strike. From beyond the illusion the sound of another robot approaching can be heard.

Combat round 2:
- Nagbur [+10THP]
- Ama [+10THP]
- Axe [+10THP]
- Fish [+10THP]
- Idris [+10THP]
- Almalik [+10THP]
- Red Robot

In bold may act!

"Hurry up, the other one is coming!"

Idris hissed at his companions as he leveled another string of blows into the clockwork mechanics that fish had uncovered. He was used to punching hard things, had trained by slamming his fists into a thick steel sheet until it buckled, but this was ridiculous. He'd give his right arm for an adamantium sai right now, or maybe just a pinkie.

flurry, flank: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 2 = 34
damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
flurry, flank: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 2 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
attack2, flank: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 = 27
damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

confirm flurry, flank: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

They need a Clustered Shots equivalent for melee

Idris lands a few punches but doesn't get through the hard armor. The machine seems to grow very rickety, its movements growing stiffer.

Combat round 2:
- Nagbur [+10THP]
- Ama [+10THP]
- Axe [+10THP]
- Fish [+10THP]
- Idris [+10THP]
- Almalik [+10THP]
- Red Robot

In bold may act!

Seeing the green robot through his spell, Almalik keeps his hand upraised as he works on the illusion. Sweat trickles down his forehead.

Bite: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Bite 2: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Claw: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Claw: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 = 29
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Fish leaps onto the construct biting and clawing it in a frenzy.

@Fish, is that with or without DR?

If these things are really constructs, that means no CON which negates a lot of what Stinky can do. Well played, GM! Just like last time when you made the battlefield larger than his Collective range. You're an evil person. I like that in a GM. Sort of.

Watching from the back, Nagbur plants his feet and grounds himself while waiting for an opportunity to help.

Engaging Boots of the Earth for Fast Healing 1, starting next Round.

Didn't even consider that! :O To be honest, the stat blocks I use for the constructs still have con. I plan to use them that way also :) Waiting on Fish's answer.

Well if the things have Constitution, then Stinky could be launching mental attacks, not just planting himself. But woud he know that? Hmm...

Ama merrily continues to chop away.

+1 Keen Adamantine Nodachi, PA, Flanking: 1d20 + 10 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 1 + 2 = 30 Damage, PA: 1d10 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 3 = 14
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 10 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 1 + 2 = 13 Damage, PA: 1d10 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 3 = 18

Ama cuts down the construct.

Giving you one more round before the other one comes through the illusion.

The construct vanishes, and Almalik quickly changes tactics, dropping the illusion as he tries to surprise the second construct with a grease spell.

"Behold you fool! You face a mighty wizard!"

DC 16 reflex save. Grease spell is on the map as a brown semi-transparent square.

DR removal is still up.

When Alma drops the illusion and Axe sees the construct coming, he waits for Alma's spell to fire before charging forward through air yelling, "Aaaaaaxe!"

Adamantine PA Axe!: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 9 + 1 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4, 4) + 9 + 1 + 6 + 3 = 30

Ama double moves forward to get the other construct within her reach.

"Woobadoobadoo!!" she shouts, happy she no longer has to stay quiet because of Almalik's spell.

You guys just yelled in an unexplored building... With three closed doors bordering on your area... This is gonna be fun xD

The construct remains standing with ease. Axe charges in and cuts the creature, doing very much damage. Ama follows and stands ready to attack.

Combat round 1:
- Almalik
- Axe
- Robot
- Ama
- Idris
- Nagbur
- Fish

In bold may act!

From the room to you left you can hear a rumbling sound, the door seems to be cracking and splintering.

Idris shook his head as his companions' emotions overrode any hint of tactical sense, and continued pounding on the machine. Unfortunately, his blows were of little effect here.

"Sure, keep shouting. Maybe there was someone a few halls over that didn't hear you!" he hissed.

Stupid longshanks! No tell her that!

Dude! Have you met Ama?

Almalik winces.

"I did not shout, I simply expressed my joy. Ama is the one who keeps hollering like a lunatic."

Seeing his grease spell didn't do much, Almalik keeps an eye on the door, and tries out a magic missile from his new wand on the metal construct.

SR Check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) + 3 = 10

@Axe are you still present?

Yeah, although I didn't realize I'd still be up since I thought I initiated combat with power attack. If i get to go again...

Also been still dealing with personal stuff, so missed that I was up again. Sorry GM

Axe continues to swing, although he now whispers "Aaaaaxe!"

PA Axe!: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 9 + 1 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 6, 6) + 9 + 1 + 6 + 3 = 34
PA Axe!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 9 + 1 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 1) + 9 + 1 + 6 + 3 = 22

The magic missile slams into the construct and Axe follows up with a heavy downwards strike. The construct steps backwards and slips, falling prone on the ground.

Combat round 1:
- Robot
- Ama
- Idris
- Nagbur
- Fish
- Almalik
- Axe

In bold may act!

Delaying for now, thanks!

Grinning as the construct crashes to the ground, Almalik follows up with another missile.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 1) + 3 = 7
SR Check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

@GM: Since the construct is prone, any problem with Axe 5' flying over him to strike so someone else can reach the construct?

Ama actually think Idris means what he says and yells, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh!!"

+1 Keen Adamantine Nodachi, PA: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 10 - 1 = 26 Damage, PA: 1d10 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 3 = 15
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 1 = 21 Damage, PA: 1d10 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 3 = 14

Perform (Sing): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

After a quick swing Ama continues to sing with a total lack of skill:

"Jungle life!
I'm far away from nowhere!
On my own like Tarzan Booooy!!"

He is in one of the larger rooms so you can pass over him.

The combined efforts of Ama and Almalik cause the construct to fall to pieces. After a few twitches it remains still.

The door to the left of the group suddenly bursts open and a cascade of robots come out. They crowd to the front and form a line in front of the group.

Combat round 1:
- Robot(s)
- Ama
- Idris
- Nagbur
- Fish
- Almalik
- Axe

In bold may act!

@Ama: I do like that song, so thanks for the earworm :P

Axe floats to the left, and in a wide swing cleaves into two of the robots.

PA AXE! Cleave @ Red: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 9 + 1 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 5, 4) + 9 + 1 + 6 + 3 = 30
PA AXE! Cleave @ Yellow if red is hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 9 + 1 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 5, 5) + 9 + 1 + 6 + 3 = 31

AC is currently 19 for cleaving

Fish squeezes in next to Idris and swings at the closest robot with his clawed hand.

Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Keeping the DR by pass up.

Almalik's eyes widen as he sees the robots start pouring out the hallway, cutting him off from the group. Almalik turns angrily to Ama, completely ignoring he's the one who raised his voice in the first place.

"SEE?! You get a crown and think you can strat shouting in a construct-infested dungeon without repercussion. I am very disappointed in you, Ama."

He starts gesturing wildly.

"You lot! Make a path for Nagbur to get to safety. I can figure out my own way."

Almalik grumbles and suddenly vanishes with a bamf!, reappearing behind Ama.

"BEHOLD, YOU WRETCHES!" he cackles before he flings a glob of webbing down the hallway.

5' step north, move action to active dimensional slide and teleport 45' behind Ama, standard to cast web. The web should fill the room in the back and the hallway, represented as a transparent blue/white background.

Finding himself separated from the rest of the group, with only Fish by his side, Idris began launching heavy punches, hoping these constructs would be a little easier to damage than the big one had been.

flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
flurry: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Nagbur rolls his eyes but refrains form slinging a "Me tell you so" in Idris's direction. Instead, he yells "Nagbur okay, just fight!" in response to Almalik's instructions, then reaches out with his mind to toughen his comrades.

Manifesting Vigor with 1PP augment and 5PP for Spirit of Many to share. Everyone gets 10THP for 7 minutes.

@Axe: You're welcome! :D

When Ama looks at Almalik her lips pout, and for a moment it looks like she'll start crying. She then sticks out her tongue and continues to sing her song as she moves forward and slashes at the construct west of her.

+1 Keen Adamantine Nodachi, PA: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 1 = 11 Damage, PA: 1d10 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 3 = 17

"Hide and seek!
I play along while rushing cross the forest!
Monkey business on a sunny afternooooon!!"

Axe swings and completely destroys two of the constructs. Fish follows and rips the head of another one. Idris moves forward Small adjustment from my side and destroys the next one in line. Ama, goofy as she is, is swinging her sword wildly about. Almalik casts his web spell and envelops the constructs in it. The smaller ones seem unhindered by the web, the large sphere of constructs however is grappled.

All of the smaller ones move forwards, two of them getting stuck. The third one ducks and dives to avoid the web. It finally arrives in front of Idris and attack him with its beak but fails. The sphere rolls about and frees itself of the spell Almalik has put on it.

Combat round 2:
- Robot(s)
- Ama [+10THP]
- Idris [+10THP]
- Nagbur [+10THP]
- Fish [+10THP]
- Almalik [+10THP]
- Axe [+10THP]

In bold may act!

Idris punched out, driving home some more blows before spinning to the side, allowing room for the others to drive into the gap.

flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
flurry: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

confirm flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Almalik blasts the one in the back with his wand, pleased at how he has slowed up the asesmbly line of death.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 3) + 3 = 10
SR: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
