"Ninja, go forth and trapspot!"

Bander goes for taking 10 and trap darring

No traps ping on your trapdar.

"I say we try that door on the left!"

The oom is empty, save for a scattering of raw materials like sheets of cloth, stacks of lumber, blocks of stone, metal bars, and bones.

Bander has an odd notion that somehow this room allows you to make things at will.

Seems like we can make things in here. Not sure how...who wants to experiment?

"Anybody got plans for a fishtank on wheels?"

knowledge(engineering): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

A knowledge arcanna might yield the how of fabrication.

Know Arcana Bo: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40

You can pretty much use the room as a fabricate spell, but you think that beyond certain boundaries, the effect will end.

Plop

"Well we could certainly use this room to craft a container for Jan until we get him fixed, although for now I'm sure he is safer with the other goldfish.. Is there anything we need off hand?"

"Maybe he is making friends and will want to stay a goldfish."

Just to cut speculation short, no you cannot make a goldfish driven steampunk mecha in the fabrication room.

dreams crushed.....

well thanks kill joy

Muahahahaha. GM Killjoy.

I was thinking more of a stout container tht would recirculate oxygen over some sorta voltron contraption lol..

"Maybe we try the door across the hall?"

The door across the hall looks to be about the same as the one you just checked out. As you are looking around inside more golems come tromping down the corridor at you.

He has clustered shots so DR just once. His AC is 36 currently.

Plop.

2 golems down. Bander was in the room (according to the map, and yes I put him there, but you guys were checking it out). So he would have to move to shoot and only got 1 off.

But then a silver skinned human flies around the corner and advances behind the golem.

(technically the golem advances to melee, then the silver guy flies up behind and casts a spell)
The golem swings at Bander's square (after bumping into him)
hit chance: 1d100 ⇒ 44 miss

Then the silver guy's spell goes off in a cone of rainbow rays.

Obi misses once, and Bander hits once (I'm going to be nice an apply your hit, as you had to move too far to get more than one attack, though the bulk would have missed). . The silver sufferer looks rather the worse for wear. Bo blasts his golem into gravel.

Ol' Silver steps back and casts a spell.

PCs are up.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40 What spell would that be?

"Great.. He casts a Wall of Force. I have no way around that.."

He reloads his gun..

Hearing Bo tell us that the Silver Surfer is protected by a wall of force, Obidiah reloads his rifle this round.

Bander sheathes his blades and reactivates his shield via wand

Silver flies back down the corridor and around the corner.

"Try the door in the north wall?" Obi suggests.

As soon as the last golem dropped into shards, you heard coughing and splashing from the fountain behind you.

Jan, you find yourself in a fountain but human again.

Assuming you check out that room, it looks pretty much identical to the other two you have looked into.

"Jan .... tell me quick .... do fish smell?"

You do pee in your drinking water right?

Jan looks down at himself to check if he has clothes on.

You are wearing all your equipment. It just smells fishy.

Oh thank the gods. Did no one hear me screaming for help?

"Don't speak fish"
