GM Tyranius Reclaiming the Time-Lost tear (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

T'kai looks around cautiously.
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

While the group is taking their good old time Shrec reacts. While I appreciate caution, remember the radiation will continue to affect us. If there is a trap I'll be the one of the first ones to hit it. We can practice caution when we are about the building. And with that, he bursts open the north doors.

Ruined linens lay scattered about this partially flooded room. A steady stream of brackish water washes out from under a door along the area’s eastern wall and drains into cracked flooring near double doors to the south. A huge, nest-like structure dominates the western half of the room, comprised of shattered furniture, shredded mattresses, and several torn pillows.

The nest reeks with the stench of mildew. Inspecting it, you discover large pieces of shed skin with a silvery hue and several rotting feathers.

This is a tiered check.

Life Science: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Examining the pieces within the nest, T'kai perks up. "Interesting. The skin is frog or toad and the feathers are similar to a swan but they contain also traces of izalguun DNA."

"So there's a swan-izalguun-frog somewhere out there? I'm not an expert on biology, or xenobiology for that matter, but that sounds like some sort of experiment gone wrong!" 701 starts walking around the nest moving parts of it with the muzzle of his sniper rifle. "There's another door right there, should we take a look?" He begins moving cautiously towards the new set of doors and stops before coming too close for a visual inspection.
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

To the east of this bedroom is the area’s lavatory, where a massive bathtub overflows with muddy water dribbling from a tap. Inside the tub you find a submerged skeleton wearing a strange visor.

Tiered Medicine Check

Life Science: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Medicine: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

"The skeleton is a male izalguun."

After muttering an incantation, T'kai scans both rooms.
casting detect magic

The Android examines the skeleton.

Medecine: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 = 19

Still weakened by the radiation, M'Shak is unable to determine what cause the death of the skeleton.

Shrec will aid T'kai with the medicine check aid: 1d20 ⇒ 6

T'Kai scans for magical items but finds none as the visor seems to be purely technological in nature.

Shrec takes the visor with him. whoever wants it can have it, I'm just bringing it out of here.

"We ready to explore the southside?" asks T'kai as he makes is way back to the corridor.

Okay we will proceed with mild caution. The rooms after that, you all can check for traps Shrec does a quick inspection on the door perception: 1d20 ⇒ 2 and if he finds no traps he opens the doors.

The shirren looks over Shrec's shoulder at the door.
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

Attempting to open the doors to the south proves futile as they seem to be magnetically sealed. Need and Engineering check.

"Found anything T'kai?

Ohh, it's locked, let's see if I can't hack it open then..."

Engineering: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

701 manages to hack into the doors releasing the magnetic seal.

A large computer mainframe stands against the area’s eastern wall, its guts exposed and several of its components sprawled throughout the room amid a layer of junk. Opposite this computer is a collapsed hallway, its chunks of concrete adding to the debris. Double doors stand in the north wall and the south wall, although the southern exit is partially concealed behind piles of trash. This room is difficult terrain due to the debris.

The passage to the west once led to other silos of the Repository, as well as to stairs leading down they are now collapsed and completely impassible.

The junk piled in front of the magnetically secured doors leading south looks as if it would require nearly an hour for someone to clear.

The Mainframe isn't currently operational but it looks as if it can be repaired.

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

"I'll start on the mainframe," states T'kai as he moves over to the computer. He starts to take an inventory of what is needed to fix it.

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Slowly wading through the debris, 701 walks past the shirren, "T'Kai, how's that terminal looking? Any chance to pull it together?"
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Looking at the floor and walls, he notices something in the southern wall. "There seems to be a door down here, but should we open it before clearing clearing some of this disaster first? We don't know when will the radiation start affecting us here.

M'Shac, can you double check if that hallway is collapsed? I'll start making some room for the door to open." And he begins tossing scraps around, to ease the access to the door.

No problem. I will.

M'Shak starts to look around.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 - 2 = 19

T'Kai takes a look at the mainframe and thinks with the equipment lying around and about an hours worth of work he can get it in good working condition. T'kai is sure this mainframe should provide controls to the lighting, temperature, doors and whatever other secured files this place holds. The vast amount of information and control at his fingertips for a small amount of time to repair it.

It would require and engineering check and 1 hour of repairing it.

701 begins clearing away items from the secret door while M'Shak makes sure the hallway is as collapsed as it looked. It definitely is.

"Maybe 701 should look at the mainframe. I'm good with built computers not building them."

I can help with that!

Says M'Shak.

"Sure thing T'kai, I'll start rebuilding this terminal, perhaps I could use a hand or two M'shak, and if needed Shrec can help with the heavy lifting? Let's do this."
Engineering: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

Taking the time 701 works on rebuilding the terminal into working order. As time passes the radiation continues to take it's toll on each of you.

I need another Fort Save from everyone vs Radiation!

As soon as the terminal is repaired it provides access to the complex’s lighting, temperature controls, and magnetically secured doors. 701 also finds two secure files hidden within the system files, one labeled “Ralveen” and one labeled “Prima”.

Anyone attempting to hack the mainframe realizes the system usually requires a scan of genetic material to access it, but the scanner is currently missing. Doing a small bit of digging around Shrec finds a scanner laying among the debris.

You can remount the scanner with a DC 20 Engineering check. If successful you would just need to scan izalguun DNA to get yourself a +5 bonus to you computers checks to open the two files. Each of the files requires a separate Computers check.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 4 - 2 = 14

Already weakened, M'Shak has some difficulty to resist the radiations.

Fort: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 4 = 22
T'kai does have Lashunta Tempweave, Adavance level 8 armor if it is still medium radiation.

@T'Kai- It is indeed medium radiation, so you would be immune.

Random: 1d3 ⇒ 3

While T'Kai seems to stave off the effects of the radiation M'Shak begins to sprout thick brown and white hair across her android body.

@M'Shak- You take an additional –2 penalty to all Intelligence-, Wisdom-, and Charisma-based ability checks and skill checks, but gains a +4 circumstance bonus to Athletic climb checks.

Engineering: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
701 works as fast as his hands can go to connect the scanner Shrec found, he then plugs himself to the terminal, via his high-density datajack, and tries to sneak his way through any defense mechanisms, when prompted he'll use the swan-frog-guun the crew found earlier.

Computers (Ralveen File): 1d20 + 12 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 5 = 25 +5 is the bonus you mentioned, ignore if the mixed DNA doesn't work.
Computers (Prima File): 1d20 + 12 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 5 = 25 +5 is the bonus you mentioned, ignore if the mixed DNA doesn't work.

fort: 8 + 1d20 ⇒ 8 + (11) = 19 and it doesn't bother Shrec.

701 begins to hack his way into the pair of files. Using the scanner on the strange swan-frog-guun found earlier makes it a bit easier to get into the files.

The first file named "Ralveen" opens. It contains several personal video logs of the izalguun Ralveen, who wears a thick ocular visor, veru uch like the one currently in your pack that you took off of the Izulguun skeleton to the north.

Initially, Ralveen appears as a jovial, middle-aged male with several patches of brown mottling intermixed amid his silvery flesh. The initial logs are exceedingly dull, but in the third-to-last entry, he explains the arrival of a curious golden artifact. In the next day’s log entry, Ralveen plainly suffers some sort of ailment, and his skin has strange, downy patches. The last entry is dated many years ago...

"Relic number 001237 has infected Prima and me with a strange radiation sickness. I fear our unborn children may have suffered the brunt of this taint, and I am unsure I can reverse the radiation’s change—it’s affected their base genetic code. I have found an antidote for this sickness, but there is a small risk of terminating Prima’s pregnancy. While I have this vaccine at the ready, Prima has refused it. Since we detected our genetically altered code, she has grown both in physical stature and in foul temperament. She has turned violent on several occasions, but I forgive her. I know it is the sickness and not her. I plan to inject her tonight while she sleeps, as I cannot risk our sickness becoming worse. If we lose our unborn children, I beg for forgiveness."

In this final entry, Ralveen’s skin is covered with feathers. He perches awkwardly on the back of his chair rather than sitting in it, and his eyes dart around nervously as he speaks.

*****

The next file 701 opens concerns "Prima". It contains several personal video logs of the izalguun Prima.

Initially, she appears as a stern and commanding female with a silver coloration void of any dappling or marbling. She wears fashionable clothing and is obviously pregnant. Her logs detail major decisions and mark her as the facility’s chief caretaker. Her second-to-last entry describes the arrival of the golden obelisk artifact, which she finds particularly exciting. Her final entry, recorded the day after Ralveen’s final entry begins to play.

"To those who discover this log, know that I am guilty of murder, and I would do it again. My children live, and I plan to bring them to term. As for Ralveen’s odious yellow cure, know that I threw it into the trash compactor and have destroyed it. No cure should come at the destruction of life. I embrace my change, and I realize that soon I shall be incapable of the thought required to run this facility and continue communications on this log. This is my last entry. I make my descent below to prepare for birth. I shall alter the environment to suit my metamorphosis. If you discover this, turn back now, and leave us alone. I have murdered before to protect my babies, and I will not hesitate to do so again."

In it, Prima constantly scratches at a mucus-like sheen over her skin, particularly between her fingers. She seems distressed, and her speech is garbled, as if her tongue was swollen.

"So, mutated protective mother and her children. Lets hope they are no longer around. I'm thinking we try the hidden door."

"So the nest up there was actually Ralveen's dying bed? And radiation that affects the genetic code? -he then adds in a friendlier tone- M'Shak, I sincerely hope you're not feeling as murderous as Prima did, I fear you are losing your natural, lustrous, sheen... Ahem, unless you always wanted to rock a not-so-subtle stubble, then please forget I said anything.

"I agree that we should try the hidden door before the double one, although we can unlock them now, but I do have one question first... Did anyone saw anything resembling the odious yellow cure while we where down there? I fear we may need to take another dive into those filthy depths."

Moving to the secret door it seems?

The group begins to move slowly through the rubble towards the secret door when they suddenly slide open on their own as a trio of robots clamor over the rubble. They resemble four-armed humanoids with treads rather than feet and a torso protected by thick polycarbonate plates. They advance menacingly, displaying a fan of red lights and commanding voice in a foreign language.

T'kai shakes his head, "Anyone understand what they are saying?"

"I can speak and write in a score of Pact World languages, Izalguun is still not one of them, no member of the race has given me enough time to study the nuances and inflections of their speak. Any of you have any magic like tricks?"
Is it possible for a PC to learn izalguun yet?

Shrec moves up to them all, like right next to them. Common Please.

I don't think it is a language to learn yet but there are several other ways to include spells and spell gems.

"I have shared language but it requires me to touch them and I am not sure if they will let me."

Not receiving an immediate and sufficient answer to their programming the robots threads begin to whirl as it rolls easily over the difficult terrain.

Green Trample on Shrec Damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 DC 13 Reflex for half.
Red Trample on 701 Damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 DC 13 Reflex for half.

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
"Stop! OUCH! That hurts!" 701 then proceeds to yell stop in different languages, while trying to move back to the terminal, perhaps he can stop the robots from there. "બંધ, Stoppe, বন্ধ করা, կանգ առնել, थांबा, запре, បញ្ឈប់, να σταματήσει, gelditu, To'xta!"
Abyssal, Akitonian, Aklo, Brethedan, Castrovelian, Draconic, Drow, Eoxian, Ghibran, Ignan.
If he gets no response, he'll add "Weydan bless this xenophobic techlife."

I'm also guessing that the mountains of scraps don't count as mountainous or hilly terrain? My trampling boots would be GOAT right now xD (Double move following the green lines.)

reflex: 6 + 1d20 ⇒ 6 + (16) = 22 Shrec then moves up to red with his blaze doshko and activates it and swings hit: 13 + 1d20 ⇒ 13 + (10) = 23 vs EAC dmg: 2d8 + 14 ⇒ (5, 5) + 14 = 24 fire

Hehe no mountainous or hilly terrain. The entire room is difficult terrain, though as you can tell, not for the robots.

701 quickly attempts to communicate in numerous other languages and none seem to help. Retreating to safety 701 finds himself at the mercy of the robots.

Assuming you mean to withdraw rather than just double move to avoid eating two AoO from the robots?

Shrec rushes in, her dosko igniting with red embers as she connects with the robot.

Robots (Red -24)
-------------------------------------------------------

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

T'kai bounces off the robot. Moving away, he raises his right hand and starts spinning it. As he does a disc starts to form in his hand. He then hurls it at the orange robot.

EAC attack orange: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 5) = 14
EAC attack red: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8

Casting Hurl Forcedisk. If the first attack his it will bounce to red.

M'Shak is up.

M’Shak tries to distract one of the robot before shooting at it!

Trick (computer): 1d20 + 13 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 4 - 2 = 21 vs orange
Shoot vs EAC: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 2 - 1 = 8
Damages (So): 1d8 + 2 - 1 + 3d8 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 1 + (8, 6, 5) = 21

M'Shak misses the robot as its scoots past. T'Kai whips a disc of pure energy back into the rubble. With the impending assault the robot's scanners light red and begin to scan the organics for weaknesses.

T'kai draws in power as he creates three glowing stars. The shirren then points at the middle robot and launches the stars at it.
Shooting Stars at Orange: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2, 2) + 3 = 8
