GM Ietsuna's Gods of Iron (Inactive)

Game Master Ietsuna

Are all people like you Pathfinders? I saw some people like you before. They were being dragged by the people not like you. They left some red food on the floor. I ate it. It was good.

Barlespin's eyes widen. "No. We Pathfinders are not at all tasty, like the other people. We are known for extremely bad flavor. Somewhat acidic, in fact."

Bluff(untrained): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

He clears his throat. "So ... where did they get dragged to?" He glances around nervously.

"Do you know who are you?"

I, I don't know who I am. I just woke up here. They went out that door there, the one you came in.

"Do you want or need anything?"

"If you don't need anything we will be on our way."

Do you have more red food? I am hungry.

"No, we don't! Guys, we have to go!" Morgan starts leaving the room.

Barlespin nods and also begins making for the door.

Grr, sorry...my campaign notices aren't all working....

Sinna listens to the conversation with machine, wondering if it was similar to herself.

However, it's desire to 'eat' more blood, led her to the conclusion that leaving might be the best course.

Even though more questions crowd her mind, she begins to leave with Barlespin.

You leave the room and are not pursued at this stage.

Barlespin moves to the other end of the hallway and inspects the double doors for possible traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Disable Device(if needed), free inspiration: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (13) + 7 + (6) = 26

Morgan follows Barlespin.

"This place is very strange," he mutters as he investigates the door. "Nice small bathing ponds, but everything else is deeply disturbing."

Barlespin finds no traps on the door, but it is quite securely locked. He attempts to pick the lock but is unsuccessful. There is a small panel to the side which displays a white stripe.

Knowledge(engineering), free inspiration: 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + (1) = 12

Barlespin examines the panel, to see if he can figure out how it should function. He seems fairly perplexed.

Morgan shoot in the lock.

The panel is the same kind of "card-reader" that you have previously encountered, but with White stripe instead of the Brown that you have previously seen.

Morgan shoots at the lock. Make a damage roll for me please. We'll see if you can brute force it

pistol - Point Blank Shot: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

The lock shows signs of damage, but does not let go just yet.

"Guys, shall we go around? Maybe there is another entrance into this room."

Barlespin nods. "Yes, I think that neither of our methods seem to be working on a lock this elaborate. If nothing else, perhaps we will find the flat key that fits this lock, as with the previous one." He heads back around through the double doors in the center of the structure.

Morgam follows Barlespin.

The door opens into a central room with multiple exits.

Morgan tries to open the souther door.

I missed this description for this room. Sorry.

This unlit circular room is empty save for a panel of controls on the wall to the northwest. A coil of tubes dangling from the left side of the panel periodically flashes with sparks, while a single square window on the panel blinks with several lines of strange writing.

Looking at the panel you can decypher the following

Deck 4: Engineering light blue
Deck 3: Science bright blue
Deck 2: Crew light blue
Deck 1: Docking light blue
WARNING: Elevator off-line—please contact maintenance! red

"Interesting ... Perhaps this is a stairwell leading to different decks, then?" He follows Morgan toward the southern door, avoiding the sparking wires.

Would trying to repair that be Knowledge(Engineering) or Disable Device?

Removing the bad wire is a Disable Device check then rewiring it would be an engineering check.

"Except there aren't any stairs." Watanabe tries the western door.

I have engineering but not technologist feat, so I don't think I can make the check. I think Sinna does.

Barlespin shrugs. "We do not yet know what is on the other side of these doors. Perhaps they are stairwells."

These friggin' update things...not working for all my campaigns...

Sinna examines the wire and pulls out her toolkit...

Disable device: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

if she's successful at stopping the sparking...she'll see if she can put it back where it belongs...

Knowledge(Engineering): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Sinna succeeds are putting the bad section of wiring out of the cluster.

Zap: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Please take the damage as it zaps you while you pull the wires.

Rewiring the section proves to be a little trickier though.

You can keep retrying and even take 20 if you want to take the time.

We will take 20

Indeed, Sinna will take 20...

"This will take some time longer than I first thought, please be patient" Sinna says, taking out some additional tools...

As Sinna puts the wires back together, bypassing the ruined section the lights in the elevator suddenly turn back on and the room hums with a soft buzzing sound.

I am confused. Which door did we open?

Sinna went ahead and fixed the elevator, I think. Do any of us understand the purpose of this function?

Barlespin looks at the now-fuctional panel to see if he can comprehend it purpose.

Knowledge(engineering), free inspiration: 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 6 + (5) = 22

Yeah....since Sinna fixed it, does she glean any additional insight into how it works?

Yes, no doors opened, you repaired the elevator. The lights on the buttons glow. You could intuit the function fairly easily

"What shall we do with the doors?"

Sinna ponders the newly operational machine, "Well this device will take us to different levels of this structure...perhaps we should finish our exploration of this level before venturing up or down..."

Barlespin nods. "Perhaps there is nothing else on this level. That might explain why we cannot open the doors."

Can Sinna take 20 on doors?

Ahh, ok. I see what you are getting at now Morgan. The elevator doors can be opened. They have a small button beside them to open them.

No , I don't wanna move elevator. I wanna open southern door. Look map

I was similarly trying to open the western door several posts back. Before the elevator panel was repaired.

You both find empty corridors behind the doors.

Morgan opens the southern door and enters.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Then he tries to open southeastern door.

Barlespin stands near Morgan, ready to attack with his net if needed.

Sinna gathers up her tools into her pack, then stands behind Barlespin, her crossbow ready...
