GM Debug's Siege of Enlightenment (Inactive)

Game Master DebugAMP

Istorvir batters the damaged spider with force, and it slowly skitters backward up the wall and onto the ceiling. From it's new vantage, it opens a hatch on it's rear and launches a grenade at Teka and OP-1. On the other side of the room, it's compatriot climbs onto a column and launches its own grenade at Gunnz and Istorvir.

Red vs intersection: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Green vs intersection: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 2

The grenades explode in a web-like storm of electrified filaments that cause immense pain... but no physical damage. Once they hit the ground, they whip up and about wildly.

Everyone except Conrad need to make Reflex saves DC 16 or be staggered for 1 round. The area within the green circles is now difficult terrain.

The last spider takes a vantage point halfway up the wall and fires an arc of electricity at Teka.

Attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Electric Nonlethal: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Round 1/2:
OP-1 (Pending save)
Gunnz (Pending save)
Teka (-6, Pending save)
Istorvir (Pending save)
Red Spiderbots (-17, on ceiling 20 ft up)
Green Spiderbot (-2, on column 10 ft up)
Blue Spiderbot (On wall, 10 ft up)
Conrad

Everyone is up

ref: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Gunnz dodges around the filaments yelping with pain. Seeing her arc pistol not much help she changes weapons.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Teka hops away from the electrified web, but squeaks in pain as the bolt of static sends her hair on end. She tries to ignore the pain by focusing on the battle and the allies with her while charging her weapon for the next attack.

"Remember, this pain is temporary. Fight through it and you will come out stronger for it. Focus on the moment and take it one step at a time. We will get through this."

I would like to use Don't Quit on someone in the party. I can let any one person ignore the staggered condition until the start of my next turn. I'm not sure who is staggered though besides Gunnz. Whomever wants negate being staggered can take it.

Don't Quit as standard, move action charge pistol.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Since Gunnz already posted an action I'll take the Don't quit if that's ok

OP-1 staggers around till Teka tells it to stop.

Seeing Gunnz shot not effect the drone as much as we would like OP-1 also decides to change weapons.

Refocusing OP-1 moves a few steps back out of the ground covered by the filaments while drawing another gun from behind his back and using his body to block the shot that is coming he spins around and takes aim at the red spider bot hoping to catch it unaware

Trick shot using stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32 (dc 20+target's CR)
To hit EAC Red(vs flatfooted if trick shot worked): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
F (laser) damage if hit: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Extra trick shot damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Istorvir produces more missiles of force at the (red) construct.

MM: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 3) + 3 = 12

"I gotta get me some of those grenades!" The bartender-turned-envoy aims at the one Istovir targeted, "Concentrate fire! Knock'em out!" Get'em on Red Azimuth Pistol: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 = 19 for F DMG: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Conrad: I think your Pistol does 1 more damage because I would expect it to be 1d4 + 2 with level 4 and weapon specialization.

It's, sadly, still my level 1 pistol 1d4+Specialization.

Yes Conrad, but in that situation 'Specialization' = 2 (for a pistol)

It seems as though they are also resistant to fire. OP-1 manages to strike a weak point and get a little damage in, but Conrad's shot is completely absorbed by its stony carapace. Istorvir pummels the spider on the ceiling with another barrage of magic missiles, and it shudders a few times before returning fire along with it's compatriots.

Red vs OP-1's EAC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Nonlethal Electric: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Green vs Istorvir's EAC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 Provokes from Gunnz if she has a melee weapon
Nonlethal Electric: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Blue vs Teka's EAC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Nonlethal Electric: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Round 2/3:
OP-1 (-7)
Gunnz
Teka (-12, Weapon charged)
Istorvir (-6)
Red Spiderbots (-30, on ceiling 20 ft up, Get 'em!)
Green Spiderbot (-2, on column 10 ft up)
Blue Spiderbot (On wall, 10 ft up)
Conrad

Now you know they resist fire and electricity at least. But not sonic.

Teka moves over to behind the one of the columns as she returns fire haphazardly at the construct while she staggers from her wounds.

Resonant Pistol Attack + Get 'Em vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7
Sonic Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

If people feel they can need the sonic pistol I'm willing to give it up, but I wouldn't be able to help much for the rest of the fight. We didn't declare who was taking the boomer rifle because no one was proficient, but if they able to take sonic damage we might need to use those or use melee weapons.

Seeing his other pistol also makes less impact on his target then desired and seeing them clinging up high out of reach of where he could stick his knife OP-1 switches focus back to his first weapon hoping that the slightly more impact will make a difference as he tries to use a shadow to hide the location he's aiming for.

Trick shot using stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18 (dc 20+target's CR)
To hit EAC Red(vs flatfooted if trick shot worked): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 = 20
Elec damage if hit: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Extra trick shot damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

It might be worth it to give the sonic pistol to Gunnz (who has the highest to hit and can include trick attack damage) while Teka uses a laser pistol to provide harrying fire..that way we have the biggest chance to make every shot count, resistance to electricity and fire means we'll be doing a lot less damage and unless they decide to come down melee isn't an real option either

Unfortunately, while Gunnz carries a tactical baton, she doesn't have it in hand just at the moment. Cursing her lack of foresight, she takes a shot with the laser.

trick shot, DC20+CR: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34
attack red vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10
fire damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
trick bonus damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

But really, Gunnz fumbles the unfamiliar weapon.

"Oh... the safety is still on."

The she smiles. "That reminds me of a Strawberry machine cake song.."

I think 2 of the 3 are in melee range but I derped and only updated the map, not the description. One is on a broken column, 1 is on the wall in reach if you're right below it.

Istorvir produces more missiles of force at the (red) construct.

MM: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2, 3) + 3 = 12

"Dang it! I need to go shopping." Conrad opts for a less precise approach, a frag grenade: ATK v. Red: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 - 2 = 16 for DMG: 1d6 ⇒ 5 DC 14 for half

In that case, Gunnz would have switched to her tactical baton instead probably - just to avoid the AOO. Same effect for this round, but hopefully better next.

Ref: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Sigh. I hate to say this but...

Conrad seems to have identified yet another thing their shells are fortified against as the grenade shards fail to find purchase. It seems a more... percussive approach is required. DR that slashing failed to bypass. Yes, these are riot robots. They are bags of HP and resist fire, tasers, and slashing. Sonic damage works well, and as Gunnz has surmised, bludgeoning might just work!

Teka's shot splinters some stonework off of the wall, but Istorvir's magic missile drops it to the ground where it crashes, twitches, then halts.

Gunnz rushes forward with her tactical baton but slams hard into a fallen column, mistaking the stonework for a spider leg as OP-1 attempts a sneaky approach, then promptly discharges her gun into it's grounded carapace.

The spider swats out at her with a sharp leg as she passes by.

Slam: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 Miss

One of the webs ceases it's electric arcs, falling limp to the ground, and the spiders attempt to remedy this problem. It descends from the wall and moves towards Teka and Gunnz, attempting to ensnare them.

Grenade!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 Wow.
Miss direction: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 2

It successfully launches it's net around it's targets... but manages to nab it's compatriot as well.

Ref: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

It evades the webbing, but finds itself with no easy way to escape other than directly through, and settles for slowly skittering towards the wall before taking a potshot at Gunnz.

Movement provokes from Gunnz

Attack vs Gunnz EAC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Electric Nonlethal: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Round 3/4:
OP-1 (-7)
Gunnz (-8, pending save, pending AoO)
Teka (-12, pending save)
Istorvir (-6)
Green Spiderbot (-2, on wall 5 ft up)
Blue Spiderbot
Conrad

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Teka is able to avoid the webbing and moves into cover behind the fallen pillar while she drops the sonic weapon for her allies to use.

I'm dropping this either for Gunnz or OP-1 to use, assuming either would rather use it over a baton.

For my Action, if Gunnz has the staggered condition, I will use Don't Quit to negate the staggered condition on Gunnz. Otherwise I will use Inspiring Boost on Gunnz for her to regain 6 SP.

Gunnz tries to avoid the web..
reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
She then slams her tactical baton into the thing as it tries to move past her.
AOO vs KAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
damage(B): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Moving stealthily, she tries to keep the robot guesssing where she will attack from..
trick attack DC 20+CR: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29
attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 Hopefuly vs FF
damage(B): 1d6 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (7) = 12

Seeing Teka drop the highly efficient sonic pistol OP-1 drops the laser pistol in his hand and moves to pick up the sonic pistol

As far as I can tell it's a move action to pick up an item but I can't find where I have to be to pick it up..adjacent? in the same square? but when dropping it you can drop it either in your own or an adjacent square so I assume that Teka would drop it where I could pick it up

No trick attack this round since I had to pick up the gun

"We need to make this shot count. Could someone light up a target for me to shoot?"
OP-1 asks as he powers up the sonic's guns next shot Boost

Asking for a Get'em and possible harrying fire for next round to increase the chance of hitting

Also on my turn, just in case I'm unable to next turn, I'll draw my arc pistol from my quick release sheath as a swift action.

Ha! Well, I've still got other options!

"Come on Teka! Don't you quit! Don't you quit! We got this! Knock that one out the box!"

Get'em on Green, Inspiring boost on Teka (+8 SP)

I haven't actually taken damage this last turn and I already tended to most of Teka's damage. If you want you could either use harrying fire on Green or use the sonic rifle we have (which would be at a penalty, but still do a minor amount of damage)

Gunnz pummels the spiderbot as it passes, and the tactical baton works wonderfully. That in mind, she closes in and strikes firmly at its back as it ascends the wall. Hit, successful trick attack and hit

Round 3/4:
OP-1 (-7, charged)
Gunnz (-8)
Teka (-12)
Istorvir (-6)
Green Spiderbot (-21, on wall 5 ft up)
Blue Spiderbot
Conrad (Retcon request?)

Delay

The spiders do a quick threat assessment, then begin to open fire once again just as the second web ceases arcing.

The spider that was beaten by Gunnz finds itself unable to effectively use its less-lethal means without significant danger to itself, but continues to follow its primary directive. It skitters across the wall, down to the floor, and back up another column before firing off another shot. Provokes AoO

Attack vs Gunnz EAC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Damage, NL, E: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The further one seems to have determined that Istorvir's magic artillery is a high threat despite his present thumb-twiddling, and begins to fire its integrated pulsecaster at him.

Attack vs Istorvir's EAC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Crit damage, NL, E: 2d4 + 8 ⇒ (1, 3) + 8 = 12

OP-1, I know you requested some aid (feint/harrying fire/etc) vs Green. Feel free to take your turn whenever and put your attack roll in a spoiler box. I'll apply any aid bonuses as they come in.

Round 4/5:
Conrad
OP-1 (-7, charged)
Gunnz (-15)
Teka (-4)
Istorvir (-18)
Green Spiderbot (-21, on wall 5 ft up, Get em)
Blue Spiderbot

OP-1 aims his boosted sonic blaster at his intended target and pulls the trigger after uses a bit a shadow to obscure the direction the shot is coming from.

Teka takes a shot at the legs of the creature as she tries to distract it from OP-1's shot.

"I'm not normally of the mind to destroy little relics, but they certainly aren't giving us much of a choice!"

Harrying Fire targeting Green.

Harrying Fire vs Green - Arc Pistol Attack vs 15 + Get 'Em: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20

Thank you! I'd feel bad metagaming now with the rolls out, but I'll stick with the Aid Another and switch over to patching people next.

Swearing Conrad provides some fire, trying to close off an angle to make it easier to hit: Harrying Fire: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

I'm not normally one to roll AoOs for you, but since it makes a rather significant difference to the combat flow...
Gunnz's AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Gunnz takes a quick swing at the spider as it moves to it's new position, cracking one of it's legs. Conrad and Teka pin it in position on the column... then... bZZZZZAAAAP!

OP-1 knocks it straight off of the column with a well-placed shot.

Round 4/5:
Conrad
OP-1 (-7)
Gunnz (-15)
Teka (-4)
Istorvir (-18)
Blue Spiderbot (5-ft up)

Istorvir winces as he is shot again and moves behind a pillar.

I know that Istovir has already used a good set of his spells this fight already, but is there a reason why you aren't using energy ray. We have seen it resist fire and electricity, but I would hope it wouldn't resist all non-sonic elements.

Gunnz juggles her baton between hands, trying to keep the last spider bot guessing, and then suddenly lashes out.

trick attack vs DC 20+CR: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
damage(B): 1d6 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (4) = 11

The baton slams into the last spider-bot in quite a vulnerable location.

With a crunch, Gunnz begins to make some serious headway on dismantling the final spider-bot.

Istorvir continues to hide and avoid further confrontation.

Noting the severe nature of it's predicament, the spider-bot begins to respond with lethal force.

Slam x2 vs Gunnz KAC: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 4 = 171d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 9 - 4 = 13 Both miss

Everyone's up!

Round 5/6:
Conrad
OP-1 (-7)
Gunnz (-15)
Teka (-4)
Istorvir (-18)
Blue Spiderbot (5-ft up)

Gunnz again tries to hide her baton, dancing around to try and find a vulnerable moment to strike...

trick attack, DC 20+CR: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26
attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (5) = 10

She starts singing.

"There's a Spider in my room!"
I used the wrong damage up above, it should only be 1d4 not 1d6

Watching Gunnz move around is enough to make Teka's bones ache. "Oh you have far more energy than I do Gunnz. I'll do my best to keep up though, only one of these things left crawling around."

We never have called out who picked up the rumbler boomer rifle since no one was proficient with it. If someone wants to declare they have it, or the GM has another way of determining who has it that is fine with me, but I would actually like to use it given the options available. So this action presumes I have the rifle. If that isn't true, instead I'll move the same way and attempt harrying fire with the arc pistol.

If possible I would delay after Conrad acts in case he uses Get 'Em.

Teka pushes herself forward toward the remaining enemy, dropping her pistol in favor of the gifted rifle. She swings it wildly in her hands as she lines up her shot and attempts to connect with the large weapon.

OP-1 also delays untill after Conrad incase Get 'em goes up

Moving forward to avoid accidentally shooting Gunnz in the back OP-1 moves forward and uses an convenient shadow from a pillar it passes to obscure his shot at the last spiderbot.

Trick shot using stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25 (dc 20+target's CR)
To hit EAC (vs flatfooted if trick shot worked): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 (with a possible +1 from Get' em to be added)
Sonic damage if hit: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Extra trick shot damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Indeed he does! Get'em. "Come on now! All together. Let's smoke this thing!"

Harrying Fire: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 = 13

Acid pew vs EAC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 22
1d4 ⇒ 1

Istorvir steps back around the pillar and shoots a green ray from his finger at the bot.

Gunnz and teka fail to force the spider back at all, but op-1's stuff blast leaves another crack, and Istorvir's acid eats away a bit as well.

The spider continue to strike at Gunnz.

Attacks: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 4 = 231d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 4 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

17 Damage on last spider, everyone is up.

After the previous recoil Teka pushes forward to close the distance, releasing a few empty shells on the way.

"Get your dirty half functioning plating off of Gunnz you bully! I may not be able to use this rifle, but I'm not going to let you beat up my friends!"

She then takes another shot at the spider bot to blast it off of the pillar.

Boomer Rifle vs EAC + Get 'Em: 1d20 + 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 4 + 1 = 18
Sonic Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

"Yowzer!" shrieks Gunnz, not at all happy.
I've had a boyfriend once who was all hands, but at least we wan't all legs."

Distracting the spider, she tries again to bludgeon it - visualising her former boyfriend as she does so.

trick attack DC 20+CR: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22
attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (7) = 13

"Drummers... Just Say No."

I just realized this..but as an lvl 4 Operative doesn't Gunnz have the option to use deliberating attack when a trick attack works to impose either the off-target or flatfooted condition?

OP-1 crouches behind the pillar and seeing the charge level of the sonic pistol reach dangerous low settings uses the shadow the pillar provides to hopefully make all remaining shots count

Trick shot using stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32 (dc 20+target's CR)
To hit EAC (vs flatfooted if trick shot worked): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8 +1 Get'em
Sonic damage if hit: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Extra trick shot damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

..but ends up getting a face full of sonic backlash as he forgets he can't shoot _through_ the pillar but needs to go around it.

Ahh yes, she does. Dang, first time playing at level 4 and I missed that.

Acid pew vs EAC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11
1d4 ⇒ 3

Conrad-bot says 'get em' and feints.
Clever Feint: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 + (2) = 14 Fail

Teka blasts it with another sonic burst, but the spider continues to fight back, evading damage from the rest of the barrage.

Full Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 4 = 171d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 4 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Round umm.... e^(i*pi):
Conrad
OP-1 (-7)
Gunnz (-15)
Teka (-4)
Istorvir (-18)
Blue Spiderbot (-25, 10-ft up)

Finish him!

"Just keep on putting yourself out there and someday you will find someone that isn't a giant spiderbot trying to kill you. It took me a long time to settle down myself. Oh! Where is my mind!" Teka fires another blast out of the rifle releasing the last of the shells at the construct. "Maybe I should go shopping for more weapons after this," she says as she draws her baton and joins Gunnz in the fray.

Teka will fire after Gunnz to get any other bonuses to attack.
Attack with rifle, drop rifle, move up while while drawing tactical baton.

Boomer Rifle vs EAC + Get 'Em: 1d20 + 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 4 + 1 = 14
Sonic Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

"Okay, enough messing around. Someone get the insect spray." mutters Gunnz as she tries to pummel the stubbon last spiderbot again.

trick attack DC20+CR: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39
attack vs KAC, Get'em: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 1 = 23
damage(b): 1d4 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (2) = 5

Her muttering must have done the trick of distracting the bot, as the followup attack lands nicely, if not heavily. Still, it does seem to be distracted now.
make him flat footed vs everyone
