Prometheuis falling. An Iron Gods Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Helikon

Do you slam, aka flat of the blade and doing bludgeoning damage or regular attack. If slam you just substract 4 from the attack roll?

Flat of the blade does non-lethal damage, not bludgeoning, normally...

No, normal attack with the sharp side of the blade

Thanks! Good to know! Is there a way to deal bludgenoing with a slashing. Using it as an improvised weapon for example?

The feat 'Weapon Versatility' allows you to change the type of damage your weapon does as a swift action, but has the prerequisite of weapon focus in the selected weapon. Other than that, there is the 'Versatile' weapon enhancement.

Snarling at the damage to his weapon, Uran clears it as best he can and continues to fire.

Attack-ranged Touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Use Quick Clear ability to remove broken condition on rifle....not that it helped any...why does this dice roller hate me so!!

For the previous hit. Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Aelden just grits his teeth and strikes back, blood pouring from his wounds.

I believe I took 11 pts there, so I marked it. I will hit a second skele if the first one goes down from the 6 points.

Att: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 = 19 Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Finally striking down the last Skeleton 4 standing heros look around finally happy that the fight is over.

Taking a CLW potion, giving one to Gregory. Thats the last of them.

CLW pot: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"We might want to 'ead back, I cannae see carrying with Gregoy down and out."

Will also drink down a potion

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

I'm not so sure about heading back argues Aurora in response to Aelden's suggestion

It's a long way back across the desert, and there's no guarantee we won't be ambushed by more of those skeletons on the way back. We could always camp here for a while if we need to rest and recuperate.

Now Gregory has been brought around by the potion, Aurora questions him

Are you able to continue? Do you have enough healing magics to proceed?

Gregory still has to roll for his CLW potion. I rolled for mine.

"Die here. Die there. Cannae see the difference, lass." Aelden growls. But he hefts his shield and warhammer and prepares to lead on, if necessary. "We need to watch ourselves an' keep an eye for yer health, mates. Ye ain't no good to us if yer barely walkin'."

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Gregory coughs and blearily opens his eyes when he is fed a potion.

CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4.
CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8.

He then casts a couple of spells, causing his wounds to completely heal.

"I am good to continue on."

So saying, he picks up his weapon, and cautiously continues forward.

Aelden grimaces at Gregory. "Ye ain't the only one 'ere, mate. Uran's got wounds, I have as well. People best be careful if we're gonna make it through this."

"A rest might be beneficial to us all. I do hate to complain, but I'm not too sure how much more I can take at the moment!"

"Well, in that case..."

Aelden:
CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3.

Uran:
CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5.
CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10.

"Alright then mate! Let's roll on!" Aelden leads the way.

Ah...much thanks Gregory! I feel better than I have in some while! How is everyone else fairing?"

Do you follow the tracks?

Yes.

Aurora follows in Aelden's wake

You follow the track and enter a boxed canyon ending in a blank wall...... what now?

Search the area, including judicious use of detect magice

perception: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 2 = 19

Being thoroughly suspicious of tracks the end at a blank wall, Gregory looks for a secret door (Take 20 = 25), and failing that, experimentally attempts to tap his sword through the wall.

Since it is probably either a hidden door, or an illusion.

Will save? Gregory does see something like light shining through the wand

Uran keeps watch while the others search.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6.

Nope ;-)

"Strange... I swear I can see light shining through the wall... Can anyone else find an opening?"

Will: 1d20 ⇒ 4

"Dunno. Looks like a bloody wall to me."

Through a mixture of luck and raw determination you manage to discern that htis is again something like an illusion.
1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
This metal room is brightly lit by glowing panels in the ceiling
above. To the left and right, complex machines consisting of
spiral tubes and nozzles twitch and hum.
You can see another door on the other side.

"Yes, this doesn't look ominous at all..."

Gregory gingerly enters the room, quickly moving to the exit on the other side, and opens the door on the other side.

Well spotted Gregory

Aurora strides through the illusion and considers the strange machinery.

Looks like the room we came in from...

Vanya follows into the room and looks around.
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Vanya looks around and she thinks it is some kind of machenery. Unfortunatly... it is malfunctioning. You have to make a disable device check to prevent it from.... well something might and will happen!

Uran brings up the rear, keeping his eyes on the sandy waste they just left.

When he is informed that the machine is malfunctioning, and that something might... happen... Gregory backs up out of the room, awaiting the all-clear.

Repair the Machine: 1d20 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (3) = 12

You have MW tools, Disable Device is a Class skill and it keys now from int. How do you just get a bonus of 5 and a trait to give you another one point? In any case, it is not enough, you can try once again.

Vanya puts away her weapons, armor and backpack and concentrates to try it again.

1d20 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 3 + 5 + 2 = 30
1d6 ⇒ 5
+ skill point + class skill + int + mwk tools, I think this should be the correct calculation now

Working hard and fast, only interrupted by a question if all is fine by uran, wich she replys with a grunted"This is tricky!" Vanya is able to connect a wire here, cut a wire there, but suddenly you can smell ozone in the air just as a tooting sound getting fast silent tells her she just made it in time. As she turns round everyone can see she has a little diffrent haircut.

"Don't ask me how I did it and how long it will last. But it's doing something."

"Ummm... Well done? Let's get through this room before something else happens..."

Aelden just stares at Vanya for a long moment.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! Now THAT'S a look I can get with lass!" he howls, dropping his hammer in mirth. It takes a moment to gather himself. When he does, he walks by Vanya holding his hand over her head. He tries in vain to get her hair to flatten out, then walks up to lead again, chuckling to himself.

Vanya is not sure why Aelden is laughing at her and touches her head. "Oh, that's weird. I will buy the expensive boots next time. Maybe I should not touch metal for the next hours." she says and follows Aelden.

Aurora shares a grin with the rest of the party at Vanya's display. As they move on and she walks past the elf, Aurora reaches out with a hand to touch Vanya's hair, then bangs her metallic staff on the floor. As quickly as it stood on end, the elf's black tresses now fall around her shoulders as usual.

Tipping her a wink, Aurora moves past and follows Aelden.

"That was..ummm..different!", the gnome chuckles as he joins the part entering the corridor.

"Aww, ye take all th' fun out of it lass." He says with some disappointment to Aurora.

The other door is closed and locked.

Vanya, apologies for demanding more of your time, but I believe yon door would benefit from your ministrations...

she waves her staff at the stubbornly locked portal.

Aelden taps his warhammer on the floor softly, just to hear what it sounds like.

You would say it sounds solid and a bit muffled, as if the ground eats the sound.
