The Gods of Iron - Part One: Once upon a time in Numeria (Inactive)

Game Master Vrog Skyreaver

From what you see, the trap hit everything in the room. It's not currently (heh) active, but it is effectively recharging now.

Agni and I temporarily "disarmed" the trap but we better move through quick. Check for magic junk and get that wand out, doctor!

Darn it, Vixen; I'm an Psychic not a Doctor.

The pair move through quickly but Sable will take the time to scan the room for magic auras using detect magic while Vixen will peak through the walls to see where they should head next.

Sable: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
The Chelaxian: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Moving quickly though the lightning room, you find a door on the far side that opens into long hallway with three sets of double doors. As you pass through the doors into the hallway, you hear the machines in the lightning room begin to spin up again, which will most likely cause the lightning trap to activate again.

The room with the sparking machinery and the hallway beyond are well lit by glowing panels in the ceiling above.

I will have the map updated shortly.

Vixen peaks in the closest door.

Looks empty. There is a flashing golden light screaming "plot" incessantly so we probably need to go in there.

Sable will pull her wand and say "Live Long and Prosper" to activate healing herself and then Vixen before attempting the door. Vixen will peak through the right wall as well since she can see a door to the right further up.

"Seems reasonable. See any traps I need to disable temporarily?" asks Agni with a grin.

"Just to be safe, I can go through with Vixen when you open the door."

As Vixen tries to open the door...Nothing happens. If you had to guess, it's probably locked, although the mechanism for how to open it is beyond your knowledge.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 perception check to make sure nothing is coming.

Other than a strange humming sound coming from the lights, all is quiet.

Vixen will stand next to the door nonchalantly materializing. She will step through the door to the gold flashing golden light and say "hello computer!" And try to access the golden flashing panel.

Just to be clear, you can't attempt Disable Device checks to open the door, but you can attempt to brute force it.

Her honed senses as an outsider allow Vixen to hear the call of an unseen narrator.

I guess we should just force the door, huh? and then she tries to force the door.

[ooc[ Okay strong people :) [/ooc]

Don't know until you try!

With a shrug, Agni takes a few steps back from the door. She proceeds to take a deep breath before surging forward, thrusting her shoulder against it. "Ooof"

Burst down the door!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Guessing I need a higher roll

Hit it harder? ;-)

As the door bends under her weight, Agni pauses to take a closer look. Noting a severe lack of hinges, she presses both hands against it and tries sliding it to the right. With a sheepish smile, she mumbles "They should put signs up to let you know how to open these things."

Str Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

1d20 ⇒ 18 aid another STR check

lol, EMMA STRONGEST ONE THERE IS

Wow, Paizo ate my post. I'll get something up this evening.

Emma goes to assist Agni and finds it easier to just force the door herself.

The air in this room seems to buzz and hum with energy. Strips of glowing rectangles light the room from above, while strange flickering windows line the east and west walls. A large glass topped circular table sits in the middle of the room. To the north sits a large metal desk covered with blinking lights, while a humming pillar of purple-and-black metal stands nearby, its sides flashing with tendrils of violet energy. A single golden panel flashes with a soft but incessant light on the side of this pillar. A thick layer of dust coats everything, diffusing the lights shining from the various surfaces, and many of the machines seem to be damaged, cracked, or otherwise ruined.

Nothing in this room reacts to your presence.

"Ah, I see the blinking plot now!." states Agni with a grin. "Get ready to tell me I'm pretty."

Winking at Sable, she heads towards the desk and looks it over.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

None of the lights on the desk do anything but flash (you try touching them and they do not move or react). It looks like most of them are flashing at the same time, but a few of them are flashing either faster or slower. There are some pieces of glass built into the desk next to the flashing lights, but the glass is smooth and lacks any sort of marking.

Perceptiopn to see if she sees or hears anything 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Vixen steps over the the glowing yellow panel and monkeys with it. It's incessant!

As Vixen presses the flashing yellow panel, the room to suddenly starts to whir and hum. A series of clicking and buzzing sounds echo through the walls and a moment later, the circular table in this room flares to light, providing an illusion of a desert landscape that looks somewhat familiar.

You all know you've seen this landscape before, but you can't quite place it.

"Neat!" exclaims Agni, reaching out, she tries to touch the desert landscape.

"I think I've seen this place before..."

This is most odd she states.

While Sable marvels at the scenery Vixen shrugs and begins looting anything that could possibly be valuable.

Once you turn your attention from the illusion of a desert, Emma notices that the pieces of glass next to the various lights begin to show lit words, in a language none of you know, yet you have seen throughout this place.

She makes the comment that The glass seems to me making words nut I cannot understand the language

"Well, that's neat." replies Agni. The woman's eyes glaze over a bit as she starts stroking her bangs.

Sounding far away as she continues to run her fingers through her hair, she asks "So, where do we go from her?"

Vixen snatches the glowing glass word thing. Dibs!

Anything else here?

The glass is not removable, but built into the desk.

Our villian is out doing no good. Let's go get him!

"Sounds like a plan." replies Agni, twirling her hair. She makes a motion for Vixen to take point again, and readies to follow.

Her lantern prepped in case they find themselves plunged into darkness again.

Leaving the room with weird illusion magic, the group then has a decision to make: The door to the west or the one further down the hallway?

Left is always right, so it looks like north.

Left is always right, so it looks like north.

That's the same way my F2F group goes. I second the vote.

The door opens without issue.

A large metal table is surrounded by odd-looking chairs in this room. To the west, what appears to be a transparent wall looks out over a strange desert valley. Four pillars support the fifteen foot-high ceiling, while dozens of crude images of a pickaxe made of a skull and bones have been painted onto the walls with some sort of ivory pigment along with several phrases in an unrecognizable language.

There are also a pair of creature in here. One of them is a four-armed creature wielding weapons, and the other is unconscious, but before you can investigate further, the four-armed creature attacks, as if it was waiting for you!

See the campaign info tab for a picture of it, as well as an updated map!

Agni: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Vixen: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Emma: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
It: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Emma

The creature moves forward and attacks Vixen, who opened the door!

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Players are up. You probably want to go all out on him, as this creature is ridiculous.

Please assume that Vixen is ALWAYS going to scout a room incorporeal before opening a door in future encounters.

Ouch! Medic! Vixen withdraws to stand next to Sable.

Sable will pull her wand and activate it to heal the phantom.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

If it is anything like the four armed skeletons it will use every single arm! Can you grapple and pin it, Agni and Dru?

Will save 14 Mind Thrust save for half

2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4
The psyhic concentrates and using the power of her mind attack the creature

"I can try!" exclaims the woman, leaping for the creature. Stepping towards the creature, she frowns. "Lets see if it's top heavy first."

Agni proceeds to kick the back of the beasts left knee as she gives it a shove.

Improved Trip: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Well That didn't work..."You caress the orc's back...it feels uncomfortable..."

As the battle ensues, Sable heals Vixen of the shortsword wound. Emma attempts to assault the creature's mind, only to discover that it appears to be protected from such assaults. Agni attempts to sweep the leg Cobra Kai style but just can't get it to topple over.

Initiative Order:
It
Agni
Vixen
Emma

Top of Round 2:

As Agni has engaged the creature, it unloads it's attacks into her, swinging both shortswords and slamming her twice for good measure.

Damage Report:
Agni: -23 (unconscious)

Players are up!

Did it make its will save?

Vixen 5 foots forward, pops it in the nose and then closes the door.

Just about time to leave, I think. Get ready to run, pup!

Sable advances and heals Agni maintaining her distance.

Pop: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Pop dam: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Knowlegde: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

It is immune to mind effecting Emma.

Crap

"Mommy, am I pretty?" gasps Agni as she receives the flurry of blows. Promptly toppling over, she lays still on the floor.

Upon hearing those words of affirmation, her eyes fly open. Looking up from the ground, she spies the enemy still standing over her. Quickly closing her eyes, she waits.

Since I go before Sable/Vixen - figuring the CLW wakes me after my turn in the round. Perhaps we'll live my red-shirted friends!
