Prometheuis falling. An Iron Gods Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Helikon

Uran is following the others, his eyes roving over the desert terrain looking for anything out of place.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Aurora moves behind Aelden, staff leveled and ready to use.

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Only Uran and the investigator notice that the sand left of them suddenly shifts. From the dunes a strange creature emerges, sand is flowing through his ribcage and his eyes shine in unholy green as it opens its four arms and moves closer to the party.

Iniatives:
IniAur: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
IniAeld: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
IniGre: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
IniV: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
IniUra: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
IniA: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
The investigator and the gunslinger can do their surprise round actions.

Uran swings around, bringing the barrels of his rifle on target with the unholy creature rising from the sand.

"Beware!! Something rises from the sand!"

He takes aim and fires off a shot at the creature.

Attack-ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Kn. Rel.: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 9 + (6) = 19
Int.: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"I've never seen something like this before. These eyes are unnatural. Bludgeoning weapons work best!" Vanya says and draws her longsword. "It seems I'm not equipped properly for this fight"

May Vanya use the flat side of the sword and deal bludgeoning damage?
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

no, unfort not
Vanya strikes at the skeleton but her blow just chips a bit from the bone.
The Thing moves a quick step closer and starts slashing at the elf and the gnome.
attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 131d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3Vanya

One of the claws is able to score and opens an evil gash in the elfs arm

Where are we?

[ooc]Sorry forgot, its the partys turn. And where you are you are on the map at the point where the party is. Just... the map is big, well actually the group is small.[ooc]

In his turn...

Aelden steps up to a position where Uran and Vanya can retreat behind him. Hefting the mithral warhammer, he strikes.

Att: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 DMG: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"Ouch, you bastard skeleton!" Vanya shouts before swinging a second time.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Aelden is able to hand the skeleton a bad blow, but Vanya just misses and strikes thin air.

Taking a step back, Uran fires again at the skeleton.

Attack-Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Concerned by the sheer number of attacks the thing has, Gregory quickly closes the distance between himself and the abomination, and takes a swing at the skeleton!

MW Greatsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18, for 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 = 14 damage.

Aurora mutters an incantation and sends a blast of electricity down her staff at the approaching skeleton.

jolt: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

The blast goes wide and turns a nearby section of sand in to glass.

Under the combined might of Steel and magic the skeleton falls to pieces.
Combat over.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22.

Gregory shivers.

"That was weird. I have never seen something like that green glow before; did you notice that it lingered for a short time after the skeleton was destroyed, before disappearing?"

He then dusts himself off, and politely inquires:

"Shall we continue?"

How strange indeed Gregory breathes the sorcerer, turning her head this way and that looking at the remains.

Glow aside, I wonder what manner of creature it was in life...

she snaps out of it, briefly sifting the sand surrounding the body to see if there is anything of value, before nodding to Aelden and moving to continue following the tracks.

"Didn't see any glow lingerin' about, lad. What do you mean by that? ' Aelden will help Aurora poke about the sand where it came from.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Finding nothing, he sets off down the track in the sand.

After you walkked a bit you turn to the south.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14.

"There's something odd about the sand over the there..."

Gregory's eyes widen as to more of the strange skeletons rise from the sands.

"Look out!"

He then charges the one with the green glow in its eyes.

MW Greatsword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21, for 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 = 11 damage.

Per: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Per: 1d20 ⇒ 5

"Watch out!" Aelden charges the one with Gregory.

mithral warhammer: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26 Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

You booth are able to notice the skeletons, and able to partial charge them, damaging it badly. But it is still standing

Perceptions: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Perceptions: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Uran does not notice the skeletons at first, but one he does he sees that only one of them has glowing eyes and points it out to his colleagues.

"That one over there has the same glowing eyes as the last one. Maybe we should target it first!

The skeleton in the north turns to Gregory and unleashes a barricade of slashes
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 171d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 171d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 161d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 161d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Unfortunatly all of his slashes manage to penetrate the oracles defense, lessened from the charge.
The other charges uran
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Aurora mutters an incantation and sends a blast of electricity down her staff at the nearest skeleton.

jolt: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11
electricity: 1d3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 6

Vanya circles around the skeleton in front of her and draws her longsword. She swings it at the creature.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Aelden and Gregory

"Bloody undead bugger..."

Att: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

If that finishes it, will move to engage the one on Uran.

One of the skeletons falls the pieces.

Gregory shifts round to a flanking position, and takes a swing at the remaining skeleton!

MW Greatsword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26, for 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 = 10 damage.

not sure, but is it the skeletons turn now, or Uran's?

Attacking again the oracle the skeleton lashes out with four arms.
attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 71d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 181d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 31d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 151d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 But only one connects.
Partys turn

New round then? Good...

"Ah no ye don't..."

Att with Gregory flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9
Crit Miss confirm: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18

Hopefully that isn't a Crit Miss.

Vanya continues to swing her longsword. "I need a bludgeoning weapon. I think a mace would do best."
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Aurora sends a blast of electricity down her staff at the nearest skeleton.

jolt: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 = 17
electricity: 1d3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4

As a new barrel clanks into place, Uran takes a shot at the remaining skeleton.

I cannot get the map to open, so I do not know if he has a clear line of sight to the creature...he will try to move to do so, but if that is not possible, just add the -4 penalty due to firing into combat. thanks!

Attack-Ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Gregory... the skeleton is zapped, but still able to dish out damage

Gregory continues to hack away at the remaining skeleton.

MW Greatsword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14, for 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 = 14 damage

And with a mighty slash the string man fells the other skeleton. Combat over. What now?

Continue following the trail?

Uran checks the corpses for any idea who or what these creatures might be.

Give me a heal or know religion (Booth trained only)please

Uran, unfortunately, has neither

"Well heck! I canna figure these here thangs out at all! One of you want to take a look-see at 'em?"

"No clue, lad. Anyone else?'

Kn. Religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Vanya is not absolutly sure but she would say that those beings were zombies first and she has a feeling they are controlled by another mind

Anything you want to do before you follow the trail?
You follow the trail and you get the feeling you start to walk up a dune. Walking gets difficult and finally you see another door ahead.
Perception rolls please!
Iniative rolls please!

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Ini: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Vanya follows the trail up a dune and looks around.
