Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"M. Slick, I believe that is not the door to the maintenance area. If I understand, we need to go back into the main hall and go south from there."
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

“I also thought these gnome cages might indicate there are more in the room beyond, but I am ambivalent if you do not wish to check”
Male Elder GM

Andretta translates, "Slick thinks there may be something valuable here, and we may as well check it out before going to another hall."
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

“Then let us do so posthaste”
Male Elder GM

The door is opened using one of the new key-rods, revealing a large room. At the far end of the room is a metallic circle, large enough for 2 or 3 people to walk through side-by-side, stands in a metal frame atop a 5 foot high dais. The thick metal ring is inscribed with runes. Two pillars flank the ring, and a ramp leads from the floor to the dais.
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"Mr. Slick, I think this qualifies as 'valuable'. You were quite correct." He inclines his head. Haer Kul will study the runes to see if he can decipher them:

knowledge and linguistic checks:

Knowledge (arcana): 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (3) = 19
Knowledge (dungeoneering): 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (6) = 22
Knowledge (engineering): 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (5) = 21
Knowledge (geography): 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (2) = 18
Knowledge (history): 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (2) = 18
Knowledge (local): 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (3) = 19
Knowledge (nature): 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (6) = 22
Knowledge (nobility): 10 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 2 + (6) = 18
Knowledge (planes): 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (6) = 22
Knowledge (religion): 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (4) = 20

Linguistics: 10 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 7 + (4) = 21

Male Elder GM

Haer Kul:
The runes appear to be of different languages, though some are similar to the spiky runes which have been seen in various places around the complex. Others clearly represent numbers, but the investigator does not recognize the specific figures.

BR-N3R adds, "Damage to power generation prevents gate activation."
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"BR-N3R, will you help us set the destination on this gate once we get the power generator functioning? Or is there a reference for these codes?"
Male Elder GM

"Pressing runes in sequence sets co-ordinates on gate. Theoretically, correct sequence is stored in this unit's memory."
Male Elder GM

Other stuff to check here, or back to plan of checking out south hallway?

"Wait. Gnome cages? Mr. Slick, gnomes are not caging. And these cages are clearly sized for your ilk." I don't see anything further to do here right now.

Note that Andretta did not translate directly, but Haer Kul probably got the gist due to his Linguistics.

Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

Check out the south hallway.
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

"My world must be quite different to yours. We allow our gnomes large cages to promote exercise and well-being. The Masters are quite benevolent in this. Regardless, we should find the maintenance area so Burner can fix the gate."
Male Elder GM

Andretta tries to hurry the party along.
"Ummm.... yes. The south hallway. Best to hurry before the complex blows up."

The party makes their way to the hall leading south of the central shaft.

Almost immediately, Thorthal spots one of the akata guarding one of the branches of the hall.

Thorthal:
Strange that the creature did not react to the combat in the main hall.

Slick initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Petronicus initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Haer Kul initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Thorthal initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Bardos initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Morgrom initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Andretta initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Akata initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Bardos will delay.

“No time to waste. I’m too young to die.”

Petronicus moves to BC39 and casts grease just behind the Akata (dc 15)
Male Elder GM

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
The alien creature maintains its footing, giving it an excellent opportunity to attack the wizard.

Apologies for the delay. I don't think this is gonna be worth the wait.

"I am not keen on receiving any parasites today. I hope that grease is flammable." Haer Kul snaps his fingers and a flame appears in his hand. He throws the flame at the Akata ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7, fizzle: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Male Elder GM

I moved Haer Kul to a position where he could target the Akata first.

Seizing on Haer Kul's statement, BR-N3R scuttles forward to where it can attempt to ignite the grease with its tail-torch.

When it fails, its eyes glow in Haer Kul's direction.
"Illogical. Why state grease is combustible when it is not? Why are words flammable and inflammable not opposites?"

Medium Lvl:3 HP:24/24 AC:16/12/14 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+5

"He's praying?"

"SMASH!"

Smash?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 102d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

Morgrom rounds the corner and enthusiastically swings above the akata.

Chomp!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 31d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
The Akata responds with a miss of its own.

"A think that's jist an orc thing."

Thorthal will move to BE37, drawing a crossbow out, and loads it.

"Hmm, it shood hae heard th commotion we made, why is it waitin haur?"
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

Slick moves to BD37 drawing his longbow.

Ninja-Longbow-Attack!: 1d20 + 5 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 4 + 1 = 101d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Male Elder GM

Andretta moves forward, and tries her sleep spell again.
Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
The Akata slumps to the greasy floor.

This fight is still going on? I’m gone for two weeks and you folks can’t get this thing dead? ;-)

Bardos will continue to delay

Male Elder GM

My fault. Busy few weeks, with not much sign of slowing, but I'll try to pick it up a bit now that Glen's back.
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

Petronicus politely suggests that Morgrom removes its head. He delays
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"Allow me. I can burn it. With fire." Haer Kul holds his palm aloft where the fire from the produce flame spell still burns. His grin is a little off-putting.

If no one objects, Haer Kul will step forward and begin burning the thing.
Medium Lvl:3 HP:24/24 AC:16/12/14 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+5

Bardos does not object to burning the thing.
Male Elder GM

Andretta asks, "Will that kill it, or wake it?"
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"Yes."

"I suppose I can wait until Morgrom slays the thing."
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

"Well someone just kill the damn thing!"
1 person marked this as a favorite.

Morgrom grins and brings his sword down on the beast.

cut the grass: 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 2) + 8 = 21

The akata begins bleeding out.
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

+1 for use of slow motion.....
Haer Kul will burn the body. To get rid of parasites. Yeah, that's it.

Thorthal will delay until another hostile creature appears, or something catastrophic happens.
Male Elder GM

The akata burns merrily.

A discernible breeze flows out of the alcove behind it, seeming to come from a set of nested metal cones in the ceiling.
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

Slick creeps to the T intersection south of the party and peers both ways to see if there are any threats.

Creepy Slick Stealth Check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Male Elder GM

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Slick moves forward, and sees two more akata in a shelf filled room to the east. The door has been torn open, probably by the beasts, who seem larger than the others the group has encountered.

New Maintenance map. Note that Slick got a +3 (or more) bonus to his Stealth DC due to distance.
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

Slick whispers to Andretta.

Andretta:
“Tell everyone to wait here, there are two more Akata I will draw into an ambush.”

Male Elder GM

Andretta waves the rest of the party back.
Medium Lvl:3 HP:24/24 AC:16/12/14 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+5

Bardos backs up.
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

Haer Kul will duck around the corner, and peer at Bardos. BA39-ish Stealth take 10: 10 + 10 = 20 (or if he can't take 10: Stealth with lousy roll: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 )
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

Slick yellls out: "Cas maer astranti!", then runs to BI 33, hiding out of sight of the Akata.

Andretta:
"Come and get me!!"

Male Elder GM

Slick:
Does Slick wish to do anything else besides yell?
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

GM:
Well, I wanted to attack, but figured that would become a surprise round, and thus he wouldn’t necessarily be able to run around the corner after.
