The assembled festival goers cheer but the elated collective mood darkens as bystanders approach the unmoving body of the aquamarine furred skittermander. Attempts to revive her are unsuccessful, a somber hush falls over those nearby.
But chaos still reigns within Central Common and the crew of Nakonechkin Salvage are alerted to the nearby sounds of more festival-goers crying out for help. There is no time to rest as the pleas lead them to a wide area between two stalls...
Event 2: Armor Clash
As the heroes approach the merchant area where they hear the loudest sounds of danger, a pahtra runs in the opposite direction shouting.
The armor! The armor just came to life! Run!!
Another surprised shout echoes from ahead where a merchant stall with the name "Steelclaw Armory" has a vesk laying on the ground under a pair of heavy mannequins. She sees the approaching skittermanders and weakly tries to wave them away for their own safety.
Just then, a suit of armor crafted in the malevolent style of the infamous Hellknights steps forward toward the prone vesk. Quonx's keen mechanic eye notes the slight sheen of infused nanites prompting its movements. The armor lifts its arm with a built in energy weapon towards the vesk!
Heroes? Help!
Armor Clash round 1
The ambulatory suit of armor aims its arm with an integrated energy weapon at the vesk and fires a laser shot at its helpless target. Blood pools about while the body still occasionally twitches and heaves ragged sighs.
"We've got to help that Vesk!
Skirting wide of the animated armor, Quonx hustles forward and squeezes off a shot at it.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Nako smirks at the fleeing Pahtra, "Scaredy cat." and rushes the (holy) self ambulatory armor (batman!), striking with her Dashko.
Armor Clash round 2
Dakoyo notes the similarities of this threat to Animated Lichtor Hellknight Plate Armor, a magical/technological construct. He then sends waves of healing energy by the divine grace of Ibra towards the vesk.
Bleed, death effects, disease, mind-affecting effects, necromancy effects, paralysis, poison, sleep, and stunning.
Ability damage, ability drain, energy drain, exhaustion, fatigue, negative levels, and nonlethal damage.
Any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect works on objects or is harmless).
The vesk's wounds close somewhat and as she comes back to consciousness, she notes the danger still present and quickly shuts her eyes again and lies still.
Gazigaz and Quonx's shots are direct hits. Nako's strike lands very savagely and precisely and had a living creature been inhabiting the armor, her attack would have had scored a deep hit but instead has no extra effect on the construct.
Quonx and Nako also note their damage did not burn the armor quite as much as it should have.
The animated armor's attention focuses squarely on Nako and it attempts to backhand the martial skittermander...
...and lands a cruel strike.
"This is highly unusual. I wonder what makes it tick. Let's not break it too much, I want check it out once it stops trying to kill people."
Gazigaz encourages the crew to keep up the good work and fires another blast at the walking armor.
Everyone scores a hit on the animated armor though the fire attacks do a little less damage.
Armor Clash round 3
The armor continues to strike out at Nako...
...and pounds downward hard onto the crimson skittermander!
Gazigaz winces, but gives Nako an encouraging pair of thumbs up.
Nako switches to her Survival Knife.
"No fire. No fire? Uh... stabbing I guess."
Quonx moves up and tries to poke the metal armor with the tiny knife.
Armor Clash round 4
Nako and Quonx both score hits, breaking some of the more vital parts holding the armor together, it wobbles but still stands.
The armor then swings its fist at...
... Quonx!
"Keep it up guys!"
