>Possessed Clockwork<

"Unless anyone happens to have some orihalcum, focus on electricity attacks." Following his own advice, he mixes some chemicals together and hurls a bomb that sparks with electricity.

◆ Quick Bomber: Quick Alchemy + Strike
Bottled Lightning attack on robot: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
Bottled Lightning damage (electricity): 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9 + off-guard until my next turn + 2 electricity splash

He mixes together another bomb and throws it at the nearest cluster of gears.

◆ Quick Bomber: Quick Alchemy + Strike
Bottled Lightning attack on white gears w/ MAP: 1d20 + 14 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 14 - 5 = 28
Bottled Lightning damage (electricity): 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9 + off-guard until my next turn + 2 electricity splash
Directional Bombs means I can cone it out to avoid splash on Jakoby

"Bolari Lee. Kam'ki Lee. Naka Attik"

BakBat casts a fireball deep into the room, striking the three foes.

Reflex DC 27 vs 5th Rank Fireball (Sorcerous Potency, Burn It): 10d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 1, 1, 6, 6, 5, 3, 5) + 5 + 2 = 47

Then BakBat will make an Elemental Toss vs the robot (which has lesser cover): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22for: 5d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 7, 5) + 5 + 2 = 28 fire damage.

Fort Save, DC22: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Stratagem vs Yellow: 1d20 ⇒ 8 +free RK on Yellow, crafting +16

Argoni yells as the debris slams into him while he's trying to see past the others. "Uh, nope! That's not good." He flinches when Doc and BakBat both set off a series of explosions. The halfling ducks towards the wall to avoid being in the open while he catches his breath. He nods to Jakoby and touches his pendant, giving her added insight.

◆ Stratagem (+ free RK on Yellow with Dubious Knowledge; Crafting +16)
◆ Step
◆ Cast Guidance on Jakoby

Doc Bloodshank's Fort Save: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 16 + 2 = 33
As Doc is pelted by the gears, he confirms they are made of the same material. Resist physical damage except from orihalcum and adamantine. Weak to orihalcum and electricity. He realizes even though they are a pile of gears, they are not a swarm. They do take up space, and they can reach. He hits the robot with electricity.

BakBat didn't hear fire immunity. So it's time for everyone's favorite spell!

Robot Reflex: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25
White Reflex: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33
Yellow Reflex: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

The Yellow gears are blown to smithereens immediately. He follows up with a smaller flame on the robot but it dodges it easily.

Argoni's RK: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

He quickly identifies the Clockwork Gear, possessed by shadowy energy from the Netherworld. He knows the gears can quickly disperse themselves in a burst that is blocked by walls. He also knows it can dump debris on anything it touches, making them encumbered. He uses magic to guide Jakoby's next action.

>Possessed Clockwork<

Hmp. I prepared the wrong spells today. Itka bemoans all the mindless foes in this mansion briefly, then casts Bane. She decides to take a risk and moves forward to get the white gears within range of her spell.

◆◆ Cast a spell, ◆ Stride

Jakoby Basic Fortitude vs 22 blunt (DC 25): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25 @ 11 damage

@Jakoby: Don't forget you have Guidance!

Isaku tries to get an angle on the robot.

Devise: 1d20 ⇒ 14 Hits AC 32

More or less sure of his target, he shoots it.

+1 Striking Frozen Dueling Pistol; Concussive Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 1) + 2 = 8 plus with Strategic Strike: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2) = 11 plus Cold: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"All yours Argoni!" Isaku calls, before reloading.

Robot is OG to Argoni

◆ Devise
◆ BANG!
◆ Reload

Itka raises a field of pure Bane and moves towards the gears, damning it.
Will Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Jakoby and Ro both slash and rake the White pile of gears, noticing the tough material resists some of the immediate damage.

Isaku takes aim and fires. It's a solid hit but it does resist some of the shot.

"Extend protection." Some of the metal extends into a large plate like a shield, protecting the gears.

"Continue assault between woman and bird."
Even is Jakoby: 1d2 ⇒ 1
Halberd: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (9) + 23 = 32
Piercing: 2d10 + 9 ⇒ (3, 10) + 9 = 22

The gears continue to spin wildly, throwing debris everywhere for 3d8 ⇒ (4, 1, 5) = 10 slashing damage to everyone nearby.

Robot Fort: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24
The robot ignores it entirely.

The gears try to lash out, striking Ro.

Infested Touch: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36
Void: 2d12 + 6 ⇒ (2, 10) + 6 = 18

Ro manages to duck - but Jakoby takes the brunt!

Jakoby and Ro continue to hold the front line.

Spiritbreaker Katana (S, deadly d8, vesatile P) w/ Astral (1d6 spirit) vs White: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 232d10 + 6 ⇒ (8, 9) + 6 = 231d6 ⇒ 41d8 ⇒ 6

Basic DC 25 Fort Save vs 10 slashing damage: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

"Hmp." Itka grunts as the gears pummel her. Belatedly casting Mystic Armor on herself, she grouses internally: Hmp. Should've done that earlier. Finally, she expands the Bane spell's emanation to include the humanoid-shaped construct as well.

◆◆ Cast a spell, ◆ Sustain a spell

Fort Save, DC25: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 5 damage

Stratagem vs Robot: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Argoni ducks some of the debris that flies even out to his side. He hears Isaku and dashes back into position to see the robot. Seeing what Iasku is talking about, he chucks a bottled lightning over the pile of gears to explode on the Robot.

Attack vs Robot, Off-Guard: 15 + 17 = 32
Electricity Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 2d8 ⇒ (1, 6) + 2 + (2, 6) = 17 +2 electricity splash to Robot and White
If hit, Robot if off-guard for 1 round

◆ Move
◆ Stratagem vs Robot
◆ Strike vs Robot

Jakoby and Ro destroy the pile of White gears. Ro has 1 more action remaining after destroying it.

Itka expands her cursed aura and draws some into herself as protection.
Will: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28
The robot ignores it.

But it can't ignore Argoni's vial of lighting. The energy surges through the frame, dealing extra damage.

Doc Bloodshanks, BakBat: Basic DC 25 Fort Save vs 10 slashing damage.
Round 2
Robot (103 damage, 1 acid + 2d6 persistent acid, Off-Guard)

- Ro (45 damage, 1 action remaining)
Doc Bloodshanks (11 damage)

>Possessed Clockwork<

Jakoby holds a hand out, palm facing back, and nods her head "no".

Ro forfeit final ◆

Seeing the damage to the bird, Doc brings out some healing salves and slaps them on the creature (assuming it is willing).

◆ Battle Medicine on Ro at DC 20.
Treat Wounds (Crafting): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31
Healing: 4d8 + 10 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 5) + 10 = 24

Knowing that Jakoby's body isn't ready for more of this intensive treatment, he instead produces a versatile vial and splashes the healing elixir on Jakoby. "This isn't the most productive way to administer these, I'm afraid, but it'll have to do."

◆ Interact: Deliver field vial on Jakoby
Healing: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9

He then grabs another versatile vial, mixes in a couple of other chemicals, and throws another bomb.

◆ Quick Bomber: Quick Alchemy + Strike
bottled lightning attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
bottled lightning damage (electrical): 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7 + off-guard + 2 splash

Fort save DC 25 vs 10 slashing: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
Doc is unable to avoid damage from the gears.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

BakBat casts Ignition at the robot.

Strike w/lesser cover: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

BakBat will attempt to hide behind their allies Stealth is +13

BakBat dives for cover, producing a flame as a distraction.

Doc Bloodshanks works on recovery. First on Ro, then on Jakoby. Then he works on offense. The robot dodges the direct impact, but the explosion still hits and zaps it some more.

Round 2
Robot (112 damage, 1 acid + 2d6 persistent acid, Off-Guard)
BakBat (10 damage, Hiding)
Itka (10 damage, Mystic Armor)

Doc Bloodshanks (21 damage)

>Possessed Clockwork<

Is Bane the red border?

Isaku again tries to get an angle on the bot.

Devise: 1d20 ⇒ 1

"Let's see, if I use my companions as pinball bumpers for my bullet... what the heck am I thinking?!"

Concentrating, he lowers the temperature around the robot, hoping to slow it down.

Frotbite, 120' range, Cold; DC 24 Basic Fort: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 4, 2) = 15 Crit Fail: Double Damage, Weakness 4 Bludgeoning until the start of Isaku's next turn

◆ Devise
◆◆ Frostbite

Yes, Red is Ikta's Bane. Sorry for putting that on your tracker.

Isaku considers a complex shot involving ricochet, the phase of the moon and a rubber chicken.

Then he skips all of that and just freezes the robot.
Fort Save: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (5) + 21 = 26

It resists before intoning. "Begin Etheric Discharge..." Void energy seeps out of the tank as it Steps forward, enveloping our heroes in shadow stuff that seeps their physical body away. It deals 11d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 5, 3, 6, 6, 1, 6, 3, 1) = 40 void damage.

Etheric Discharge Recharge: 1d4 ⇒ 4 "Recharging..."

Acid: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6
Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Doc Bloodshank's acid continues to seep into the tank, burning the contents within.

Jakoby, Ro, Doc Bloodshanks, Argoni, Itka, BakBat: Basic DC 26 Fort Save vs 40 void damage
Round 3
Robot (125 damage, 1 acid + 2d6 persistent acid, Off-Guard)
BakBat (10 damage, Hiding)

Round 4
Jakoby (27 damage, Coagulant for 10 minutes, AC 29 vs Robot)
- Ro (21 damage, Immune to Battle Medicine)
Doc Bloodshanks (21 damage)

>Possessed Clockwork<

Isaku again tries to get an angle on the bot. At the same time he tries to find out where it's weakest.

Devise: 1d20 ⇒ 15 Hits AC 33

Sure of his target this time, he levels the pistol and fires.

+1 Striking Frozen Dueling Pistol; Concussive Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 2 = 8 with Strategic Strike: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 5) = 16 plus Cold: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Crit?
Concussive, Crit: 2d10 + 2 ⇒ (1, 6) + 2 = 9 Doubled to 18
Fatal: 1d10 ⇒ 8

He reloads but calls to Jakoby "Bonk it. I've weakened it for you!"

Shared Strategem - OG to Jakoby

◆ Devise
◆ BANG!
◆ Reload

Fortitude Save vs DC 26: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24

Doc feels the void damage draining his energy, his skin darkening as it takes hold. He mutters, "If there's one thing I find more intrusive and disruptive to the healing process than divine healing magic ... it's necrotic energy."

He begins slathering himself with healing ointments to combat the loss of vitality.

◆ Battle Medicine on self
Treat Wounds (Crafting) vs DC 30: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 32
Mortal healing turns that success into a critical success. Godless healing heals another 5 HP (and I am immune for only 1 hour).
Healing: 4d8 + 30 + 5 ⇒ (1, 5, 8, 7) + 30 + 5 = 56

-21 - 40 + 56 = -5 HP now

Now almost fully revitalized, he cries out, "But your otherworldly chicanery cannot combat science and mortal will!" He grabs vials and mixes them together, hurling them at the creature.

◆ Quick Bomber: Quick Alchemy + Strike (-1 versatile vial, 1 left)
bottled lightning strike: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
bottled lightning damage (electricity): 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 + off-guard + 2 splash (directed in cone away from Jakoby)

◆ Quick Bomber: Quick Alchemy + Strike (-1 versatile vial, 0 left)
bottled lightning strike w/ MAP: 1d20 + 15 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 15 - 5 = 13
bottled lightning damage (electricity): 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6 + off-guard + 2 splash (directed in cone away from Jakoby)

He taps his chest, where his many prepared vials have been depleted. Time for some on-the-fly thinking, then.

btw, forgot to indicate that Isaku will use Known Weakness to find out the bot's weakness (though I wish I had thunderstrike)

Ignition: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35for: 6d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6, 5, 4, 4, 3) + 5 + 2 = 31 fire damage.

Isaku lines up another shot. With the lightning throwing the machine off guard Doc Bloodshanks is able to hit with another vial.

But ultimately BakBat's intense flames set the robot on fire. A voice whirls. "Excessive heat exceeding safety levels. Expelling host..." The tank on its back empties and shadowy substance diffuses into its back, dissappating in the room behind you harmlessly. "Rebooting..." The Robot falls inert but still intact.

A moment later the robot chimes back to life, withdrawing its weapons. "Entering standby mode. Please insert host." It stands inert, waiting for something.

Among the many scattered parts, you find a damaged galvasphere that is not emitting any inherent power. It could be attached to help redirect electricity like a lightning rod...

BakBat's Fort Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

Combat Over
Jakoby, Ro, Argoni, Itka: Basic DC 26 Fort Save vs 40 void damage
BakBat (30 damage)
Itka (10 damage, Mystic Armor)
Argoni (27 damage)
Jakoby (27 damage, Coagulant for 10 minutes)
- Ro (21 damage, Immune to Battle Medicine)
Doc Bloodshanks (5 damage)

>Possessed Clockwork<

Doc creates and administers quick vials to everyone, except Jakoby who is coagulating already. "Insert host? Is it perhaps ... Well, we do happen to have a disembodied spirit or two here, do we not?" He looks around for Vilo and Lumna.

BakBak healing: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
Itka healing: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6
Argoni healing: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
Ro healing: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
Doc healing: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

Assume we're taking some time to search and heal, as well as discuss whatever is happening with the robot? I'll wait to see where everyone shakes out on the Fort saves before deciding who takes priority.

Jakoby Basic Fortitude vs 40 void (DC 26): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20 @ 80 damage
♥️ 037/148
Ro Basic Fortitude vs 40 void (DC 26): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36 @ 20 damage

Jakoby is nearly obliterated into shadow!
Ro fares much better...

♥️ 49/96 + Doc's healing +12 = ♥️ 61/96

Ro nudges his master - oops, a broken rib - she coughs up blood, and smiles at him.

Jakoby, it's only DC26. You're taking way too much damage, and Ro actually crit succeeded.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Halfling Luck: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Argoni screams as the Void energy explodes at him, but during the blast as he halfling-splains why Jakoby shouldn't feel so bad, he realizes that he himself shouldn't feel the energy at all either. It's good to be a halfling.

He looks over the group after they take down the robot. He nods to Doc and unpacks his healer's kit. Once again, the halfling brandishes the scalpel. "Ok, who needs some attention?"

Pause to see how the Fort Saves land.

Isaku has Ward Medic (4 targets) w/ Master Medicine and Assurance as well (I just realized his statblock here is incomplete). Waiting for the fort saves to pan out.

Basic DC 26 Fort Save vs 40 void damage: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
Hero Point Basic DC 26 Fort Save vs 40 void damage: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
Crit success for no damage

Itka's studies of the Shadow Plane give her just enough forewarning to ward against the blast of void energy that emanates from the robot.

"Entering standby mode. Please insert host." It stands inert, waiting for something.

"Insert host? Is it perhaps ... Well, we do happen to have a disembodied spirit or two here, do we not?"

"Hmp. You're right. Better do it quickly before another dark force takes control of it." Itka clears her throat, sounding uncannily like a glacier calving, before calling out: "Hmp. Vilo! Lumna! Do either of you want to take over this robot?"

Jakoby ♥️ 77/148
Ro ♥️ 81/96 (after Doc's healing)

Jakoby and Ro both fared better than they had originally thought - it was a shadow spell after all, only partially real...

Thx!

Treat Wounds, DC 20, Assurance: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (4, 5) + 10 = 19
Treat Wounds, DC 20, Assurance, Continual Recovery: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 6) + 10 = 18

Bakbat, Itka, Argoni should be back to full. Jakoby and Ro should get at least 37 back.

Doc Bloodshanks supervises Isaku's treatment of the wounds. Since he seems to be doing a competent job, Doc takes the time to search the area, including the "bodies" of their assailants, and mixes up some more vials, while watching whatever happens with Vilo and/or Lumna.

When Isaku is finished with the healing, Doc nods approvingly, but does pass a quick vial to Jakoby. "Shoot this one down quick, it's only potent for a few seconds."

Another vial healing on Jakoby: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6 + 4 temp HP for 1 minute from my field discovery, for what it's worth

Recovered 2 versatile vials

Oh, yeah, 2 checks with Continual Recovery would take 30 minutes ...

A few minutes later, while Jakoby is getting their second round of treatment, he offers another quick vial.

Another vial healing on Jakoby: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

And then, at the end, if needed ... More healing: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

If we get that full 30 minutes of healing without incidents arising, I'd be back at 6 versatile vials

Let me know if Jakoby is still down HP, because I do have one of my daily elixirs of life I can provide.

Apologies, I had to reboot my computer last night and it ate a bunch of notes from this scenario. Good thing we're near the end.

As you handle the worst of the wounds, you take the robot with you, just in case another nefarious presence decides to take control of it.

The worked stone gives away to a more rugged and natural cavern overflowing with water from an underground stream. A fine metal mesh containing a slowly dissipating energy orb about 5 feet across is suspended in the center of the enclosure.

"Oh! You're here!" Lumna's voice resonates from the orb. "It's me! Lumna. With all of this electricity buzzing about I can't communicate far. Oh! Don't use any magic, it's unstable near the coils!"

As they head on, Doc hands Jakoby a moderate elixir of life. "In case you need it."

3d6+6 and provides 4 temp HP for 1 minute

Doc investigates the orb ... from as safe a distance as possible. "Thanks for the warning," he murmers. "Lumna, we have this ... vessel here..." He motions vaguely toward the robot body. "Would you be able, or interested, in becoming a host for the it? Would that somewhat resolve your ... predicament?"

Crafting: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

"Yes! Dr. Treju was working on the essence-gatherer. She said I could use it. But you have to bring that close to me. Please be careful."

The coils surge with electricity. You may be able to sabotage the enclosure so it's easier to avoid electric shock.

DC 26 and master proficiency required to disable will sabotages the enclosure.

One of you must hold the essence-gatherer during the transfer, but you risk an electric shock!
One person must make a DC 26 Basic Reflex Save or suffer 5d12 ⇒ (1, 4, 10, 7, 9) = 31 electricity.

Doc nods. "Alright, then ... some preparation..." He mixes some chemicals together with a versatile vial.

Quick Alchemy to create an Energy Mutagen, granting resistance 10 to electricity (weakness 5 to acid, cold, and fire)

Properly prepared, he pulls out his tools to disable (or lessen) the device's damage output.
Crafting: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26

Hoping that the path is now at least a bit safer, he begins trying to maneuver the robot's body to where it needs to be.

Reflex: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
Not sure what the consequences are of the sabotage attempt ... do I still take the damage? If so, it's only 21

BakBat will cast Resist Energy (Electricity) on themselves, and Aid the Crafting attempt by Doc: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
