To face a God of iron. (Inactive)

Game Master DBH

Yep, time to buff. Thanks for the Keen Edge Raktar. Love that spell. :) I am assuming that setting off the grenade rendered Olimpia visible but have not heard for sure.

Olimpia casts Shield on herself, activates her Gravity Clip and asks about the potions of cat's grace. Did we have a supply of these potions? She also offers Figgy her arc grenade. Electric Damage.

Did we have a supply of these potions?

JJ was more referring to the infusions that he makes, though I should've been more clear.

"I will have to make some more tomorrow, I only made 1 today and JJ asked first." Figgy hands the potion over to JJ.

Figgy pulls out a vial of mercury and moves to Olimpia and Raktar, anointing their armors strengthening them to take less damage DR 2/- for 6 minutes, I can do lead blades with this as well

Figgy passes a potion to Raktar, "This will harden your skin" Bark skin +2, 60 minutes

Figgy then pulls out a vial of acid and gets ready

If you only have 1 it seems a good call to always give it to JJ as he gets more from it than Olimpia as she already has +2 to Dex from her belt. Figgy, did you take the offered grenade?

Figgy takes the grenade from Olimpia, "Thank you, I can give you a potion to shield you from attacks and force attacks." Figgy offers up the potion in trade

Olimpia can cast Shield and has already done so.

Just realized its a new day.

Back down where they started Dilana mumbles to herself asking her patron to help protect her form bodily harm. That done she shrugs and draws the Ray of Enfeeblement wand.

"I will have to make some more tomorrow, I only made 1 today and JJ asked first." Figgy hands the potion over to JJ.

JJ downs the concoction quickly and shakes off the offputting taste. He wasn't going to complain since the long term benefits outweighed the temporary present. Still, now he was ready and able to take on whatever threat lied ahead and proceeded with the others.

Figgy pulls out a vial of mercury and moves to Olimpia and Raktar, anointing their armors strengthening them to take less damage DR 2/- for 6 minutes, I can do lead blades with this as well

Figgy passes a potion to Raktar, "This will harden your skin" Bark skin +2, 60 minutes

Figgy, my armour is already adamantine so won't benefit from increased DR, may as well save it for someone else.

Raktar gratefully accepts the potion from Figgy, swallowing it down and savouring it's faint malty taste. He instantly feels his skin harden, though it doesn't restrict his movement at all. "Thanks Figgy," he says, "that's most welcome."

I have 9 uses a day, so I can do weighted weapons or DR to armor

T3. Hellion's Redoubt
On the southern wall of this sprawling cavern, a massive wheel of metal buckets lined with sharp edges is embedded, partially buried, in the wall.
The latticework of metal girders connects to the wheel.
The whole of the device comprises a long mechanical arm ending in a metal wheel far larger than any mill's waterwheel.

Ahead you can see three robots, all man sized though of extremely patchy workmanship, they seem to be watching the entrance while a large robot, resembling a scorpion seems to be intently staring at the far wall?

What are you doing now?

New link up top to show you what Hellion looks like.

"What are those things?" Raktar whispers, hoping that the more technologically-minded among the group might recognise the robots, or indeed the huge wheel-thing.

"They look like they are acting as guards, the other is fixing that robot?" Figgy says quietly.

Insert engi+19/mech+19: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Quietly "Figgy, do you think they can be blinded? Like I did in the areana?"

"If you could make globes of darkness around their heads yes, you could try but I am not sure" Figgy responds quietly.

"I was thinking glitterdust again."

"That can work yes."

As JJ listened to their plans, he was getting a bit antsy for some shooting. He was more than ready, but was getting impatient.

Where's Zagmannder?

Dinvaya removed her curse and she left for the astral plane as agreed? Or was the agreement she would fight with you here? In which case I'll add her to the map.

What are you doing now?

I think she would have left us.

My understanding was that we released her back to the astral plane as we weren't convinced that she wouldn't betray us, despite potentially being a powerful ally. I might have missed something though if others thought she was fighting alongside us.

I think she was only agreeing to fight along side us until we figured out a way to send her home. It was never my intent to force her to help us for her freedom. If she chose to help us that would be cool.

"I will try to bomb Hellion while JJ takes out the smaller ones?" Figgy asks

Ok, Zagmaander is not with you. Lets get things going on the actions front please.

"Sounds good to me," Raktar adds. "Try and keep the big one occupied while we cut down it's bodyguards," he suggests. "They don't look so tough, Olimpia and I should have much difficulty cutting a path through to the scorpion-looking one."

The distance between the group and the guardian robots is clearly too great to cross before the robots spot them though. "Looks like we should be able to get a volley of shots and spells off before we clash."

In the spirit of moving things forward I'll list my actions, assuming there's not a lot else we're going to do before we attack.

Once everyone is ready and the plan is settled, Raktar grips his hammer and rushes forward. He summons his magic, the heat of the forge burning within him. He channels the heat into one of the robots, hoping that it will disrupt whatever mechanisms keep it going.

Move Action to move 40ft, Standard Action to cast heat metal on yellow, targeting whatever metal I can, ideally any armour. It can make a DC 14 Will save to negate.

Good, I would rather have sent her home.

"Ok, lets see if I can blind some of them. Lightning will be next."

Always impulsive Dilana steps to a spot with a clear line of sight and utters a few words before bringing her hands up. On her shoulder her little scorpion mimes her gestures. As the hands / pincers reach full height a cloud of golden glitter envelopes some of the robots.

Glitterdust: DC16 Will of Blinded Five rounds save each round

I don't know. Would've been nice for the bots to have another target aside from us to damage. Oh well.

With the others starting to scramble for position, JJ put the pedal to the metal and followed in, keeping pace with Raktar and using him as cover.

Double Move 45' feet.

Will save Yellow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Will save Yellow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Will save Blue: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Yellow resists Heat metal. Yellow and Blue are now Blinded and glittering.

Figgy & Olimpia?

Figgy runs up behind JJ, pulling out a vial of acid as he does.

"They are much further away than I thought they were." Figgy huffs a bit

Olimpia quietly moves up and fires her musket at a flat footed and blind yellow.

+1 Musket: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 191d12 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (7) + 1 + (6, 4, 5) = 23

stealth, if needed: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Fall to pieces: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Olimpia's attack slams hard into Yellow, with a screech of stressed metal it's rotary saw is blown off.

Red lurches into a clumsy charge and attacks Raktar.
attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 Missing

Yellow & Blue lurch around blindly, unable to locate their attackers.

target: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Hellion spins around. "You worthless fools dare to face a god!" His tail curves over his head and fires sizzling beans of plasma at Raktar

ranged touch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
ranged touch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 3) + 2 = 10
Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8
Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5

Each shot slams into Raktar with deadly force. 23 damage.

He then casts a spell on himself.

Yes, Hellion has two initiatives in a round. :)

The party may now act.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15 Oh come on!

Dilana allows herself a smile

"WOW! Your a god? God of lightning maybe?"

Rubbing a small bit of hair on the grass rod in her component pouch Dilana mumbles a spell and both she and Lancelot point at Hellion as a bolt of electricity arch forward at her target.

Lightning Bold: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 4, 3) = 15 DC17 Reflex
Shown on map

Sorry GM, forgot to put my stats spoiler in my last post. Touch AC is currently 13 so that last shot misses.

Raktar grimaces as Hellion's bolts of burning gas strike him, singeing his already-scarred flesh. He focuses on clearing out the robot bodyguards, smashing his hammer into the nearest one before activating his armour with a thought. Adamantine panels spread across his limbs and torso, protecting him from the robots' weapons.

Standard Action to attack red, Immediate Action to expand my smart armour.

Hammer attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage: 3d6 + 14 ⇒ (2, 1, 1) + 14 = 18

I heard they used Mythic in this AP at times
spellcraft: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Figgy moves forward hoping to get a shot

Dropping her musket Olimpia moves quietly up to Yellow and attacks with her electrified Wakizashi.

Stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

+1 cold iron wakizashi: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 211d8 + 7 + 1d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 7 + (6) + (4, 2, 6) = 29

If Yellow is down she will charge Purple.

Hellion spins around. "You worthless fools dare to face a god!" His tail curves over his head and fires sizzling beans of plasma at Raktar

"Yeah... If you're a god, I'm a saint." JJ snarks before giving his pistol a smack and opening fire on the robot in front of him.

1 grit to Covet Charge, Full Round attack on the Red

Inferno Pistol+PBS-DA vs Touch: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Ref Hellion: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Ref Yellow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Dilana's Lighting Bolt destroys Yellow and then slams into Hellion, damaging him.

Olimpia darts forward and damages Blue badly.

Jeremiah & Raktar pound Red into scrap.

Figgy advances.

Will save Blue: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Blue is no longer blinded.
Blue flails desperately at Olimpia
Attack -: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Hellion makes a sound of contempt at Jeremiah's words. "You need to be dead first Meatstick! Luckily for you I can help with that!"

Despite his words he takes aim at Olimpia
Ranged touch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Ranged touch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Ranged touch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 :(

The Plasma bolts cratering the cave floor but missing Her.

He then casts a spell on the group at the back.

Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (6, 8, 1, 6) = 21

Will Save vs Chaos Hammer DC18
Dilana you take no damage and are not slowed.
Raktar you take half damage before you save, quarter if you do save and are never slowed.
Jeremiah & Figgy If you save you take half damage and are not slowed. If you fail you take full damage and are now Slowed.

The party may now act

Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Hellion's spell sends bright bolts of pain through Raktar's head, but he shakes it off and steps over the crushed robot at his feet. "Your reign of hate is over," he growls before launching himself at Hellion. His feet churn the floor into dust as he rushes forwards and brings his hammer crashing down towards the giant robot.

Full Round Action to Charge at Hellion, reducing my AC to 22 until my next turn.

Hammer attack, charge: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18
Damage: 3d6 + 14 ⇒ (4, 3, 5) + 14 = 26

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Seeing the effectiveness of her lightning bolt Dilana gives a little 'woot' for joy as she moves forward and fixes her gaze on Hellion.

She whispers a single word in an odd language "Ngeshwa!"

Misfortune DC17

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Figgys eyes go wide as the spell lands on him fully, moving forward slowly Figgy tries to get into position.

19/40 HP

Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Springy stays close to his creator, trying to help out.

Olimpai attacks Blue, hoping to put it down. If the first attack drops Blue she will move closer to the boss Y, else she will attack again and 5' step X

+1 cold iron wakizashi: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 251d8 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 7 + (6) = 15

+1 wakizashi: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 211d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 7 + (1) = 13

I may be confused. Was I meant to make a will save or is what you noted the result of something you rolled.

Will Save Incase: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

@Dilana. Figgy made the spellcraft roll so I can tell you it was a Chaos hammer spell. Chaotic alignments don't need to save, they aren't affected by the spell.

"You need to be dead first Meatstick! Luckily for you I can help with that!"

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 MOTHERFU-

JJ grunts and howls in pain as the machine's attack on him hit home in the worst way. He did his best to shake it off, but even he knew it wouldn't be convincing. "I don't what hurt more. Your magic... ow... or listening to you trying to insult me. I mean... meatstick? I'd think a high and mighty intellect could do better than that." He snarked before forcing himself to move closer to line up a better shot.

Move Action: Move 30 ft.
Free Action: Pull out +1 Double Barrel Pistol with off hand

Dilana, Hellion has Construct traits. Your Hex don't work on him.

Figgy & Jeremiah see the world slow to their eys as the spell hammers them.

Olimpia finishes off Blue

Raktar charges forward, his blow skidding off the thick metal of Hellions armor. That's a miss.

Dilana finds the thing uncaring of her hex.

Claw: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
Claw: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

Hellion snatches at Raktar with his metal claws. One misses, the other latches on painfully.
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Grapple?: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Marnir is now grappled by Hellion who waves him mockingly at the party.

His other action is to fire at Olimpia again. Integrated weapon, so no AOO.

Plasma ranged touch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Plasma ranged touch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Plasma ranged touch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage Plasma: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 4) + 2 = 11
Damage Plasma: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 4) + 2 = 12

Searing Olimpia

The party may now act.

Grabbed and stabbed by Hellion's huge metal claw, Raktar can feel blood start to flow, his shoulders and chest an aching mass of pain. He struggles against Hellion's grip, trying to prise open the claw to allow him to escape.

Standard Action to try to escape the grapple.

CMB vs CMD: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

How long are we slowed, DM?

As his world slows around him, JJ continued to push himself forward towards his foe, trying not to bunch up too close to his allies in case of further attacks.

Move Action: Move 15 ft up.

8 rounds. :)

"Well so much for that. How about some more lightning little god?"

Dilana shifts to have a clear shot before launching her second and final bolt of lighting of the day.

Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 1, 5) = 10 DC17
Three 1's, f-u dice roller.
