STRANGE AEONS (Inactive)

Game Master Daniel Penfold 351

Atajay was more of the silent menacing type, but he tried to smile and help things along.

Diplomacy 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Trevor tries to re arrange his ugly mug into a friendly look
Diplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 8

"Very well, your intentions seem pure, however we are uncertain about you. We will not aid you but we will not hinder you, either."

"Very kind and more then I could have hoped for.

Where to next?

Let's go clockwise around the area.

Next one is B24 then

This collection encompasses hundreds of books, scrolls and manuals detailing the esoteric processes involved in creation magic. In this room are 4 statues made of metal, they appear to be clockwork in nature.

You can stop pretending to be statues! We know you are gunna attack us.

Atajay nods. He knew that his experience with statues wasn’t great. He holds back and nocks an arrow.

Penith's eyes light up at the statues made up of metal and gears. She agrees they will probably attack them, but maybe she could put a few of their parts in her haversack once they were done. She wondered exactly what they were...

engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Penith you think these things are powerful constructs known as clockwork mages.

Knowledge arcana

Know. Arcana 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

The archer stares at the clockworks trying to figure out their strengths and weaknesses.

Arcana: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

"Door and statues I want to live in a wall-less space with nothing even resembling a statue."

We need to fight these things? If not, we can handle them later.

Senn you recognise these creatures as clockwork mages. They have damage reduction against anything except adamanatine, although they are vulnerable to electricity. They have spell resistance and dependent on which school of magic they are set to they have the ability to cast spells.

At this point the mages start to move.

Trevor initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Senn initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Atajay initiative: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Where next?

I'm assuming you're going to the next room round - B23

The books in this collection focus on the art of calling and binding outsiders.

Huh. Maybe we can find clues to help get rid of all those nasty beasts. Like those weird hound of tandylows.
