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

Game Master Vrog Skyreaver

Using the power of her mind she reaches out for a piece of debris and tosses it at one of the pimples
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
1d6 ⇒ 3

They are indeed where the voices are coming from.

Sable will take a couple of shots.

shot: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
shot dam: 1d8 ⇒ 2

other shot: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
other shot dam: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Vixen will position and ready herself for an attack, but since she is still ghostly one may not come.

"Gross!" exclaims the woman. "I hope you don't expect me to touch that thing..."

Seeing her companions engage the creature, she sighs. "Fine then!" Pulling her shovel out of her pack, she plays with it for a moment; tossing it back and forth in her hands. "Well, if I must, I must."

Move to draw shovel. Move action to gain 'Catch Off-Guard' feat

Nasty things

Initiative order:
Oloch
Sable
Agni
Emma
Them!

Oloch moves up to the closest one and then attacks it with his sword.

Attack Roll w/Power Attack and Furious Focus: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Damage Roll: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 1) + 10 = 16

As Oloch hits it, it stops moving.

Sable and Emma will both shoot the other one, but not kill it.

Agni draws a shovel and prepares to show it why she's the best shoveler alive, even if she's not a super hero.

The one that is still moving will move into Agni's square Provoking an AoO

Agni: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage Roll: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

It will then Attack Agni with a pseudopod.

Slam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Damage Roll: 1d2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Agni Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Players are up!

She will toss another piece of debris at it
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 telekinetic projectile
1d6 ⇒ 2

Anything I should know about the fort save yet?

"ACK! It touched me! EWWWW" cries the woman, as she slaps ot the creature with her shovel.

Shoveling the goo: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage?: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

If there's somewhere to go, she will 5ft step away from the thing

24 hours for Vixen/Sable.

Sable will attempt a knowledge check ti see what it is.

shoots: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
dam: 1d8 ⇒ 4

shoots: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
dam: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Nice damage if it hits

Initiative order:
Oloch
Sable
Agni
Emma
Them!

As Oloch is going to swing on the one under his feet, it explodes in a massive burst.

Oloch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Oloch Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Explosions!: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

Sable then acts and puts a pair of arrows into the other one, and it also explodes.

Agni Ref: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Agni Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Explosions!: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

Combat Over!

Damage Report:
Oloch: -2 damage
Agni -5 damage and a frowny face you don't know about yet.

As the creature explodes, I got it!

Vixen's voice lowers and slightly drawls while she is clearly imitating someone Great, kid. Don't get cocky.

Figthing pustules she says with a wrinkle of her nose of disgust.

"At least it didn't explode on you!" exclaims Agni, struggling to keep her lunch down. "That was icky! And...It burns!" she adds, quckly wiping the goo away.

"I think next time I'll let you guys kill them before they get on me. Sound good?"

Investigating the room you currently find yourselves in, you do find a few pieces of what you recognize as technology (even if you're not sure what they do):

You find a small metal box under the easternmost table that holds what appears to be pistols of some kind.

There is also quite a bit of writing in that language you're seeing thoughout this area.

I have also updated the map.

Interesting she says as she picks up one of the pistols.

Pocket all that valuable stuff. We'll see if the townies have money.

Now then, I guess I'll peek through the door.

Which door? There are a few that you haven't been through yet.

Left is always right.

You guys entered this room from the left door.

South from C4

Sounds good to me :)

No argument from me. South from C4 sounds as good a place to die as...err...as good a place to look. ;-)

The doors slide open to the south to reveal a T-junction hallway with quite a few doors.

I'll have the updated map ready shortly.

Are there any more telepathic messages?

Nope, you killed the fungus that was talking to you.

Let us be on our way she states.

"Agreed. Ghosty McScout? After you."

:-P

Just need to know which door you're opening/scouting.

East

Vixen returns from scouting and describes what appears to be a something she calls a surgery.

What does that mean? she asks Is there something living down here?

Like an alchemist's laboratory but cleaner. Let's open it up, huh? She looks to someone solid to do just that.

Oloch shrugs and tries to open the doors.

Metal desks sit to the north and south of this long room, yet the most distinctive features are a pair of odd, bedlike tables flanked by curving panels of blinking, pulsing lights. Moving armatures of metal extend out over the beds, each outfitted with glowing panes of glass and strangely glowing tools. The chamber reeks of blood, with great crimson stains splashed across the device, beds, and floor.

I will have the map updated shortly.

Taking in the sight, Agni shrugs. "Seems the people here really like their blinking things...and tomato juice."

'Surely this isn't all blood. Got to be something else to scare off intruders....otherwise there's been a LOT of blood...'

You know, kit, I thought this was light hearted sci-fi, but it is really shaping up to be horror. That said no time like the present to loot. If it isn't nailed down it's worth something to someone.

Looking around a bit, it appears that there isn't really anything portable in this room, although the odd beds do still seem functional, with an array of buttons on one side.

Is there anyone or anything in here she asks.

Walking over to the buttons, she rubs her chin. "Any idea what these do?"

With a snap of her fingers, she calls out "Maybe they vibrate!" and quickly stabs one of the buttons.

Again no money. Cheapest props master I've ever heard of. They probably don't even work, Agni. On an advanced spaceship why would anyone need a bunch of blinking lights? Vixen then moves towards the south door.

As Agni pushes one of the buttons, mechanical arms rise up from the sides of the bed and begin moving around. It's unclear, but it looks like they are doing some sort of medical procedure.

What is clear, however, is that several of the arms end in pretty sharp looking knives.

This is...disconcerting she comments. We should not dally. she concludes.

That was my 29,000 post :)

Returning to the T-shaped hallway, Vixen phases through the south door and returns shortly, informing the group this this room has a bunch of beds in it, but she's not sure what they're for (besides the obvious).

A den of procreation perhaps she says with a smile

Dang Emma! Nice!

"ACK! Why would that be attached to the bed?! There is NO WAY that would be comfortable." explains Agni, shaking her head. Spotting her companions heading back out, she jogs after them.

Raising an eye at the though of another room with beds, she inquires softly "Did they have buttons too? Do they vibrate? I heard of beds that do once...sounds like fun."

I doubt they have buttons or vibrate given how cheap the production budget is. Might as well make with the door opening though.

As you open the doors using the keycard that you discovered in the room with the four-armed monstrousity, you see the following:

A row of beds sits along the southern wall of this well-lit room. Glowing screens and metal desks sit on the opposite walls, and splatters of blood adorn the floor and several of the beds. To the east, a large metal device that is the size of a large bed hums softly.

The other thing that you all notice is a thumping sound coming from the large metal cylinder in the corner of the room.

Well color me shocked, it does vibrate.
