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

Game Master Vrog Skyreaver

The zombie things?

Another robot (boom) I think it might have (boom) seen me. Vixen dead pans. She will stand in the doorway and see if the thing attacks as magic. Sable pulls her bow and readies a shot.

Hit me robo-creep!

Reminder the phantom is not ectoplasmic at the moment

The zombie things?

No, the construct thing from the door in

That is a little better :)

"Oh, well that can't be good." retorts Agni. (BOOM)"Hush! I'm trying to concen" (BOOM)

Squeezing her eyes tight, she calls back the different styles they practiced in school, jabbing at the air.

Gain Pummeling Style via Martial Flexibility

That is a nice feat!

After your moment to react the doors open and the mechanical construct comes forward.

Bringing her hands up, she ducks to the left, striking out with her right fist. Following the jab, she streps our her back foot and tries to land a kick in the same location.

Unarmed Attack 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Unarmed Attack 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

I'm guessing that's a miss...but just in case...

Emma launches a telekinetically projected piece of debris at the robot, and it's strikes it's hide.

Oloch moves into melee with it and swings his blade at it.

Damage Roll: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 5) + 10 = 21

Agni also engages the creature in melee and manages to hit it once.

The creature's wounds close some and then it engages Agni, attempting to stab her with it's hand full of needles.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage Roll: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

I need a fort save Agni.

Sable once again discovers that it's hard to hit enemies in a hallway with your allies in the way.

Damage Report:
Robot: -6
Agni: -8

PCs are up!

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Hmm...not keen on that roll. Going to use my shirt re-roll w/1 GM star
Fort: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
That's better

Wincing as the needles pierce her skin, Agni steps to the side. Lashing out with a foot, she swings wide but her uppercut connects with a solid 'Thud'. "HA! Gottcha!"

Attack 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Attack 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
1 Hit Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Vixen will step behind Mr. Robot in a flank position and become ectoplasmic.

Pow!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Pow! Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

I said hit me you tool!

Oops! Forgot to add the flank bonus, but I think I hit anyway

Another piece of debris shoots out to strike at the creature

Attack Roll w/Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Damage Roll: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (2, 1) + 10 = 13

Agni manages to shrug off the effects of whatever was injected into her, and then swings twice at the creature, but only manages to meaningfully connect once.

The Robot's wounds close and then it attacks, this time stabbing it's needle-tipped hand at Oloch.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage Roll: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Finally, Vixen is made more solid and Sable concentrates on her form.

"Jeez, the jerk keeps healing himself. Anyone know how to stop that?" asks Agni as she prepares for another set of blows.

Attack 2: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 15

Not too bad!

Emma manages to land a hit with a rock on the creature.

Oloch opens up with his sword again:

Attack Roll +Flank and Power Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Damage Roll: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (1, 6) + 10 = 17
Crit Damage Roll: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 3) + 10 = 18

Fight over! That was a mean crit!

Hooray!

Let's find out if this one has money. Vixen fades back into ghost form to prepare for more scouting.

Sable will examine and loot as possible, glancing into the next room to see what is in there as well. She will detect magic.

Pulling out her wand, Agni glances towards Sable. "Am I pretty?" she asks, holding out the curative device.

Glancing towards the fallen robot, she pokes it with a toe. "Are we quite sure it's going to stay down? It seemed to be able to regenerate itself."

Perhaps the half orc can smash it?

The last one didn't, but who knows. Smash it I guess... maybe it has valuable stuff inside. Vixen says with greed apparent in her voice.

Right... that command phrase. I mean... you *are* pretty, Agni. Sable will activate as needed.

CLW: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 2 = 10

"Thanks sweety!" she remarks as her wounds mend. "That seems reasonable Vixen."

Without a moment to waste, she leans over and gives the device a solid kick in the head.

Coupe D'Grace: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 = 18

Update to come when I get home, but really quickly:

"The Half-Orc's name is Oloch, lady." says Oloch.

The creature itself lacks the sort of weaponry you might hope to scavenge, and so your group makes it's way down the hallway to the doors the creature came out of. There are another set of doors that are closed off to the right-hand side, but based on what has been posted, I am going to assume that your group is going into the door the robot came out of.

Looking in, you see:

A long table with various unusual stones and dirt samples heaped on it sits along the southern wall of this room, while to the north a line of metal desks with glowing panels and buttons are placed next to a large humming device. The heart of this device seems to be some sort of flickering sphere of reddish-brown mud or dirt. Dust covers much of this room, save for a strangely clean swath between the doors, which leads to the strange humming device.

Peaking into the room, Agni readies herself for a fight. Noticing a severe lack of homicidal robots, her shoulders sag a little.

"Well, I see more buttons and lights...but nothing really off....OH! Pretty!"

As her eyes fall on the flickering sphere, she rushes over to it. "What do you think it is? Should I touch it? I heard of a sphere once that was activated by licking..."

The name is noted, half-orc she says with a smile.

With a shrug, Agni sniffs the orb. Glancing to her companions and receiving no direction, she gives it a quick lick and steps back.

"Ack! That was gross! Remind me not to do that again."

Sable stares in disgust at the spectacle before her. The moment drags on and she feels sick for what feels like days. Yuck!

Hope you are feeling better, Skyreaver.

Send the half orc in, his might is mighty she says with a twisted smile.

As your group looks around the room, it soon becomes clear that someone was studying soil and rocks here, but both Agni and Sable agree that there is something odd about the samples here. The other odd thing is that it looks like the blood trail that your group was following has been completely cleaned, although with the dust on the floor, it's clear which way it went.

Looking around, Agni frowns. "Who said that? Whose there? Isn't it obvious?"

'Are my friends playing a game with me? They know we've come down here in search of the missing people. This underground labyrinth....' she considers.

Watch out, there is something telepathetic in here. Vixen says wryly.

Yes, I am here and am aware of the presence of another

Pathfinder 2nd edition announced today. Playtest starts in August. Any bets on if we are done by then?

where did you read that?

Gm how much longer do we have until we are done

We're between a third and halfway done, so probably another 3 or so months until we're finished.

We won't level until then?

Correct. Just like any adventure, you will not get xp until you are done.

You're telepathet... telepathic!

Yes, well... trust me when I say that immortal, telepathic creatures from other worlds are totally bad.

But that's you!

Well except for me then. Get your bow out!

Vixen shouts Alright evil telepathic thing. Show yourself or die! or and die! Whatever works for you.

"That seems fair." remarks Agni. "If you knew, you wouldn't have had to ask."

"Do what? Who are we fighting?" Looking around the room, she raises her fists to fight. "I uh...I don't see anyone."

As if on cue when threatened, two of these creatures begin moving towards you:

Like some taut pustule ready to burst, this mobile wound scuttles on a bristle of slick hairs.

Sable: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Agni: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Emma: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Oloch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Them!: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (3) - 5 = -2

Initiative order:
Oloch
Sable
Agni
Emma
Them!

Players are up!

Are these things where the voice was coming from?
