Game Master JASON RODARTE

"How old is he? Has he any combat experience or skills of any kind?"

"Are they shooting ray guns?"

The robots? I don't know I didn't wait to find out! The Technic League Cultists did use strange devices, so maybe they have such a thing.

"How old is he? Has he any combat experience or skills of any kind?"

"He's an aristocrat and as such he was trained in sword fighting, but I don't think he has ever been in a real fight. He has been trained as a diplomat, but I don't think he'll be able to talk himself out of this mess."

“Oh, another thing. Since you've last been here, I’ve been expanding the Blakros Museum a bit. Our collection has grown over the years, and moving larger exhibits in and out of storage has always been such a chore. It is possible the building now defies the laws of nature, being larger inside than out, but many people would consider that a draw.”

"Weeellll, I DID join the society for adventure. And this certainly fits the bill. Nothing for it bout to go in, right guys?"

Cloudia starts walking following the others into the museum, her hair safely tucked inside her hood.

You make your way to the entrance, cast your buffs, open the door and enter the gallery.

An electric tang overpowers the room’s scent of polish and wax. Walls and pillars of hewn black stone support the heavy ceiling overhead and a lattice of lamps burning with a steady, white flame. Dozens of paintings, both stunning and lackluster, line the walls just beyond the museum’s grand doors. Various statues stand against the walls, while a towering bronze figure, arm outstretched with waves parting beneath him, almost scrapes the fifteen-foot ceiling at the chamber’s far end.

Doors to the west are delicately labeled “Facilities,” while a sign over the double doors across the gallery boasts “Histories of the World.” Two sets of double-doors stand at the room’s north end, barely ajar. A banner hanging overhead proclaims “Secret Sorceries of a Savage Land,” while a more subdued sign below that reads “Grand Exhibition Hall.”

From between the statues two metallic men step forward and proclaim:

“Desist all trespassing.”

Mao engages the red robot and tries to punch it hard.

Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9

Mao engages the red robot and tries to punch it hard.

[dice=Unarmed]1d20 + 6 + 1
[dice=Damage]1d6 + 2 + 1

Mao doesn't manage to get through the robot's armor.

Cloudia, holding a wand in each hand like some odd gunslinger, lifts the one in her right hand and waves it overhead while calling out a command word then attaches it back onto her belt.

"Benediction!"

a simple enough command word which has the usual effects.

(Everyone is blessed)

Without a wild "WHOO!", Aurus charges the blue robot, swinging the adamantine greatsword over his head.

Charge, Power Attack, Bless: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 26
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 6) + 9 = 17

Without a wild "WHOO!", Aurus charges the blue robot, swinging the adamantine greatsword over his head.

[dice=Charge, Power Attack, Bless]1d20+7+2+1
[dice=Damage]2d6+9

Aurus hits the robot and deals a good amount of damage.

"Threat detected."

1d100 ⇒ 70

The robot attacked by Mao steps towards Aurus and stabs with his electrically charged spear.

Power attack
To Hit: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 - 1 = 18 Hits, due to charging minus on AC

Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 6 = 17 + Electicity: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Knowledge (Arcana)

Cloudia: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Lukian: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Aurus: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Although they are nothing like magical constructs, Lukian figures these machines have hardness and regular construct traits.

"Oh Sh**," gasps the paladin as the spear jolts electricity through him. "Uh... Not doing that again."

As the spear hits Mao, Cloudia voices an "Ooow!" on his behalf.

How do they keep doing that? I don't know if I could keep running into situations like that knowing something was going to poke or slash or jolt me! Dang.

He will spray acid at one of the robots
1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14
1d3 ⇒ 1

He will spray acid at one of the robots

Lukian tries to acid splash one of the robots, but as both are in combat he misses.

1d100 ⇒ 94

The other robot steps into flank and attacks Aurus.

Power Attack
To Hit: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 - 1 = 19 Hits
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 6 = 16 + Electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Aurus goes down.

"Primary threat neutralized, acquiring secondary target."

Shouldn't I be at 0 and staggered, but not unconscious?

"Someone save Aurus. We'll need all the strength that we have against these anomalies."

He steps forward and throws his punches against the red robot.

Flurry, Bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 21
Flurry: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 22

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Shouldn't I be at 0 and staggered, but not unconscious?

Ah! I forgot to update your hitpoints! Good! :-)

Mao punches the robot, but due to the hardness of the metal monsters his first blow doesn't even make a dent, so for his second attack he decides to do a legsweep, which is succesful and he trips it!

I'm assuming Mao switches tactics after the first blow.

"Don't need savin'," Aurus mutters, dribbling blood out of his mouth. He lays a hand on his own chest, which glows brightly for a moment, closing some of his wounds. "Though some help... some help sounds great."

Swift action, lay on hands to regain 1d6 ⇒ 4 HP

He brings the sword down against the downed robot.

Flanking, bless, attacking v prone... I like these odds. Will use power attack, and will fight defensively.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 2) + 9 = 13

Confirm: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 8
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 4) + 9 = 18

He takes a mighty swing, but pulls back in order to make sure that he is guarded against the other robot. "C'mon, you bucket ah tin, come get some!" he taunts as he steps away.

AC is up to 21 now... fat lot of good it's done me so far.

He takes a mighty swing, but pulls back in order to make sure that he is guarded against the other robot. "C'mon, you bucket ah tin, come get some!" he taunts as he steps away.

Aurus swings his sword and almost critically hits the fallen construct. His Adamantine sword slices through it without any problems.

I'm seeing a 10x10 foot square on the map, but no action on the forum, so I guess Cloudia has cast grease, but that the post got eaten.

Cloudia casts grease to try and prevent the still standing robot to get near Aurus.

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 Failure, due to Spell Focus (Conjuration)

The robot falls!

1d100 ⇒ 23

The gears in the robot grind.

"Temporary failure of movement system. Alternative action: Attack from prone position."

The robot thrusts his spear at Aurus.

To Hit: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 4 = 8 Misses

Must've eaten the post where I declared the grease. I even marked up the roll20 map with the grease area. Thanks for the bot.

Yeah, good to hear my assumption was correct. :-) Wasn't really a bot, more of a reconstruction post

He will try another acid splash
1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 4 = 19 rta
1d3 ⇒ 3

Lukian tries another acid splash

This time the acid blob hits and deals a bit of damage.

I assume you are focussing fire on the red robot.

1d100 ⇒ 99

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

The fallen robot stands up and walks towards Lukian and Cloudia (provoking from Cloudia)

"Engaging the artillery"

Mao tries to steady the fallen robot by attempting to grapple it.

"Just stay down! I'll try to steady it. Keep swinging, Aurus.

Grapple: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Mao tries to steady the fallen robot by attempting to grapple it.

Mao succesfully gets a hold of the robot, making it easier to hit for Aurus.

I assume you want to move into a flank as well?

No provoke from Cloudia. She wades into combat with a wand in each hand. She is mostly harmless :) I should trade the 2 handed longspear in for a shortspear or dagger or something so I can wield it while firing the wand of magic missiles.

Cloudia adds her two (small) copper bits to the barrage and fires her wand at the injured red robot and then steps away from the blue robot.

MM: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Seeing how pathetic the missile is, she then pulls out her wand of burning hands and is once again holding two wands.

Yeah, and the chance you'd actually bypass the hardness is very small. Please save that wand of burning hands for swarms.

Dumb robots :)

Botting Aurus

Power Attack, Fighting Defensively, Bless, Flanking, (vs Prone)
To Hit: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 16 Hits!
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 6) + 9 = 17

Lay On Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 2

1d100 ⇒ 67

"System damaged below threshold, initiating self repair sequence."

The robot's nanites rapidly fix the damage inflicted by the party

Self-Repair: 24 = 24

Mao succesfully gets a hold of the robot, making it easier to hit for Aurus.

I assume you want to move into a flank as well?

Oh. Yes please. 5-foot step to flank and then grapple the bot.

Did the acid seem to impede the repair?

Did the acid seem to impede the repair?

No

Botting Lukian

Lukian steps back out through the front door and then blasts the robot with fire!

Scorching Ray
To Hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Fire: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 1) = 11

1d100 ⇒ 8

The robot steps up to Lukian and retaliates.

Power Attack, Higher ground
To Hit: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 - 1 = 12 Misses
