Nasira has no way to deal with the cloud and her offensive options are intentionally limited so she has more room for healing. Ansha, are you able to conjure up a gust of wind or otherwise give Zeriax the ability to see through the cloud?
It might be better to stick up a wind wall that occupies part of the square(s) the golem does, otherwise it'll just breathe another cloud in a round or two.
DM Variel, would that work?
you rolled high enough on your knowledge check that I will give you that the cloud will only last for a round but you are correct that it could expel another gas cloud every d4 rounds.
I always keep Morgrym's hit point total in his latest post when it comes to combat. You can just check there if you want to see how he's currently faring.

Felt like I needed to do something, so I'm not worried about over-healing you.
Thanks! Will take it. This thing is a slicing/dicing machine. Like... literally.
@Nasira: Were you gonna go through with your plan of blasting these things first or do us melee types go ahead and bum rush 'em? It's all good to me either way but I thought I'd ask first just in case.
I was hoping someone would identify them without prompting and then got too busy to check the boards.
I think it's up to you, Garith. Take this thing down and then we can concentrate on the last one.
Hey guys, most of you know I work at a hospital. Busy right now as you might imagine. I will get the update when I can. Hoping for a break tomorrow.
No worries--thanks for letting us (me) know!
Stay as safe as possible Variel.
Hey, I feel like I'm way overdue to say this. I know a lot of people that I share a virtual table with are involved in the healthcare industry.
This is to all the doctors, nurses, technicians, eldercare specialists, all of those folks that spend their lives caring for the health of their fellow man.
Thank you. You need to hear this more often, but in this time of world-wide crisis more than ever, I want to say thank you.
And please, please take care of yourselves.
I'll echo Pixie. Because, honestly, I couldn't've said it any better. That's well said. You folks really have your hands full far more than the rest of us that is for sure. So kudos to y'all.
And this thing just keeps spreading like wildfire. I wished it would just slow down at least a LITTLE. My gosh it's insane.
And absolutely stay safe out there.
I will join my words to the others Variel - I can only offer my enormous 'thank you' for watching over all of us as the damned pandemic continues to spread.
So thank you Variel, to you and all those working with you.
Thanks guys for the well wishes and support. I will admit it gets to be long days sometimes as work a full shift or more then come home and help my kids with school work since the schools are closed. My wife is awesome and is at home with my girls which is a blessing as we don’t have to worry about someone watching them during the day. However she is more artistic and I am more scientific so any science questions wait till I get home.
I hope all of you are safe and healthy and can make the best of this situation.
Crikey! 800 hit points! That's insane. Oh man there's no way Morgrym can destroy that thing before it chomps Garith into a million bits.
Having said that, he's going to keep at it because that's what he would do. HE doesn't know he's 770 hit points of damage away from destroying it. :P
Dang this thing is tough.
Okay, I got a question regarding this: Do we have to roll an attack roll to hit an inanimate object?
I've always wondered if you're attacking a "door" or a "chair" do you have to roll to hit. I know you can't crit inanimate objects but I've wondered if an attack roll is necessary.
I do. It require attack rolls on inanimate objects. no crits either though.
There are other ways to help him but most are beyond Morgrym at this point.
Yeah that's totally what it's looking like. I believe our magic people are gonna have to save him from this one.
Maybe grease or teleport or dimension door. Not a big time magic guy personally so I'm just spitballing here. Don't really know exactly how all those work in this regard though. Zapping somebody you can't see.
Time stop anyone? (Yeah I know that one's a 9th level spell. It is in Baldur's Gate anyway) :P
Yes you would need to move over to see Garith to cast grease, d-door etc with him.
After 2 minutes of solid work though the machine starts to get a shake indicating that at least something is mechanically wrong with it.
As soon as this happens though the doors to the west open up...
Okay, how's that gonna compute for Morgrym? No way I can burn 20 rounds of rage for this machine. If he can manage at least 125 damage per round that's pushing over 700 damage after 6 rounds. So 20 rounds would be an absolute killer of rage rounds.
Hey how about this. He's got 3 rounds of Titan's rage left. After that I can see him dropping out of rage and just beating on the thing normally. Is that cool? Of course he'll be eating about 10 rounds of fatigue but that won't stop him. :)
Do we see anything in the room that just opened up in the way of enemies? Or for that matter, can any of us see inside the room, period?
Yes you can see on the room Ansha. Morgrym I wasn’t counting on rage or any expenditures of other resources at all. I was just looking at basic attack damage. If you want to continue raging and using resources you will have him out in 10 rounds and the door opens after 6 rounds.
Nope. I'm good. Only want to rage for the duration of what's left of his Titan's rage(which is 3 more rounds) and then normal power attack damage after that. That'll work.
Ansha, you just heard Zeriax menacing 'something' inside the room, right?
Yeah. Still going to wait til something enters her line of sight though.
Gotcha!
Question: Is the machine destroyed at this time?
Based on what I gathered up above you were Titan raging for a total of 4 rounds. Another 1 round passed of normal power attack without raging bringing it to half hp or broken (not destroyed). Thus you have another 6 rounds remaining once the Incubi involved themselves. Haste or some form of additional attacks from you would drop it to 4 rounds.
Oh man! But you only missed ONE save, Zeriax! That is freaking impressive. And you only missed it because it was a stupid 1. Otherwise you would've made them all. Man that is so cool to be near perfect. That totally blows my mind that you were just a measly "2" from making a boatload of saves. So cool. :)
Because if that was me, I'd've already hit the road with a bunch of minuses to boot. :P
]Dont worry Morgrym I will throw all those saves at you next time.

Hahaha, well Monks... You know :D
Funny as time goes by playing Pathfinder, I tend to invest more and more in my saves above everything else. I mean, 'save or suck' and 'save or die' are a thing, and they can just break a character.
Not nice! I know who is the next target in the next room.
That's for making me waste a mythic chain lightning D:
Don't worry Morgrym I will throw all those saves at you next time.
Wait a minute! Time! I call time! *Whistles uncomfortably during the long awkward silence before asking* What? :P

Yes! I totally agree. Saves are absolutely key. I work to try an increase them when I get a chance for all my pc's.
And monks do have the greatest saves. I love monks. They are just flat out cool.
OH MY! Nasira just saved all 5 times with only 1 roll less than a 12 and the Demons failed all 6 with only 1 roll in double digits!
Are you kidding me?! Out of 12 saves between 2 pc's only 1 failed? That's absolutely insane.
This has got to be the craziest save sequence I believe I have ever seen.
Score one for the good guys! Yeah! :)
To be fair, I am a mythic cleric/hierophant with high wisdom. I had an 85% chance of making the harder saves. I would have been disappointed to miss any of them.
That is why I have to throw them at you in bunches and hope for a 1. These guys are just cannon fodder anyways trying to expend resources and soften you up for the next few rooms.
Ha! That's pretty clever.
It reminds me of this show a million years ago called Futurerama(or however you spell it). I only saw like 1 or 2 episodes. It just wasn't that funny to me. But I'll never forget the one funny part in there.
This captain(he was an idiot) sent his army after some type of killer robot type enemy and this is how he explained he defeated them:
"I just sent wave after wave of my own men. I knew that had a preset kill limit."
A preset kill limit! Lol! What an idiot! And he says it with such confidence as if it was just so clever!
That sounds like Zapp Branagin alright.
Zapp Branagin! Ha! What a name. Did not know that was his name. Worst. Captain. Ever. :)
I think those are from Matt Groenig also right? The guy who did the Simpsons?
Yes, Futurama was Matt Groenig's creation also. It's still one of my favorite shows, years after it went off the air.
Yeah I never really could get into that one. I did like the Simpsons for the first 8 or so seasons but then that got old. Eventually you run out of material. They just refuse to realize it though.
Hey guys, apologies for the delays on my end - over the last two days got hit pretty hard by high fever and some other messed up symptoms.
In current times... It causes some apprehension on top of the sickness itself. Trying to get back at it, if I can.
Please don't worry about us, Zeriax. Take care of yourself.
Take care Zeriax and I will make sure that all perception checks fail so Morgeym walks into all the traps for you.
Lol! Man that's just wrong. :)
And I will echo the others, get yourself to feeling better, Zeriax. And hopefully the sooner the better most definitely.
never had a chance to get on my computer this weekend as we had family over (breaking quarantine for the first time). Will try to get to it tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.
I always thought the shield had to be 'wielded', does it not?
Per the PRD, it is "wielded" like a heavy shield, though it has no armor check penalty and is encumbrance-free. It can also be activated and deactivated as a free action. So at the very least, you could deactivate it long enough to shoot, then reactivate it at the end of each volley.
