Bran shakes himself up onto his feet as the sound of the reactor activating wakes him up. Not entirely sure what is going on as he see Yvell run out of the room, he spots the unconscious half-orc on the ground. He moves over to her and says, "Oy what happen? Gone out moment and whole place change." He shakes Auheda and looks her over. "Common Orc girl. You in there? As in there as you've ever been anyways?"
Yeah sorry for the lack of posting. I think Bran is actual conscious but he doesn't want to present a target at this point(standing at around 8 HP? i think). Also having a bit of a writers block right now that I'm trying to get through but it's been a bit difficult >.<
Bran moves and dodges the machines attacks as best as he can. Hearing the conversation, Bran yells out, narrowly dodging a fist from the machine, "Need solve problem soon. 3 Hours no time unless Merchant know how to stop?" Bran bashes the machine as best as he can. Damn this thing. I bent that bar on a bet why is this this so difficult with my shield.
Bran takes the hit from the machine as best as he can, the hit almost dislocating his jaw. He moves slightly and bashes the machines wrist with the side of his shield, forcing the machines arm a bit out of the way. Using the opportunity, he moves away from machine, hoping he bought enough time to get away from it. "You get stop code for man from her?" He yells up at the group near the now unconscious women. "Anyone have heal magic?" [ooc] 5 HP left and barely put a dent in the thing >.< Need to withdraw for some sort of healing [\ooc]
Bran feels the electricity move through his body with a jolt as the heavy stick hit him. "Damn it. Stick hurt bit." Bran shifts a bit before ramming his shield has hard as he came into that machine.
"Need to stop her, doing something to machines. Deal with purple lady, I try handle the machine man." Bran says to the group as he charges the large mechanical man.
Bran throws as much weight into his attack as he can while hopefully busying the large machine to allow the others to get around.
Sorry for the delay with posting. I've been a bit busy this week. I'll probably be pretty unavailable the next few days, until Saturday or so. Thanksgiving holidays see me traveling more than I'm used to >.< Feel free to take my actions for me.
Bran moves up next to support ibuki and Auehda as best as he can.
Bran moves forward, stepping over the (hopefully) unconcious body of the orc, attacking attacking the ratmen behind.
(+2 if charging)
Bran's arm shakes a bit as his shield is pummeled by the assault but he stands firm. "Not exactly good weapons are you. Maybe you could do better good in your next lifetime."
Bran moves to the west, looking for the sounds of whatever is there. He takes a swing if possible at whatever is there.
Bran lays into the ratman next to him as best as he can, using the distraction provided by Auheda to his advantage.
Remembering where the other Ratmen were, Bran charges through the mists , hoping to hit one of the ratmen.
Bran moves over to support Yvell, taking little time to start to lay into the rat men.
yeah, it really wasn't a comment on your ability Yvell. Just saying that your build seemed to go in the more "support" area rather than full on melee(not saying you couldn't transfer to that nor actually do good in melee to begin with). More just thinking out loud/wanting to play a ranger/gunslinger now that I've had the opportunity to play my dream of Alchemical Captain America :D I'll probably stick with Bran in all fairness, he can throw a shield in a few levels just as fine.
i'd be interested in continuing though I'm somewhat wondering if I should apply with a different character. Depending on how GM is going to set up the next adventure, it seems like we're heavily missing someone good with ranged like a ranger or gunslinger so was thinking of applyng with a new character...then again, without Bran, I think only Yvell is in Melee and I'm not sure if that's a good thing either. Maybe the new "6th" (if derlin doesn't come back) can fill that roll :)
As Yvell moves to open the door, Bran quaffs an elixer sitting on his belt. He shakes his head a bit as he seems to gain in muscle mass a bit. "We need gain every advantage at this point. Hopefully solve mystery soon."
"Do we really need to fight the last one? We can just move through the room if possible. The creature obviously realizes that it's out matched." Bran says, keeping his guard up and moving slowly through the mist, trying to get out of it if possible.
Bran charges into the fray as well, following their "fearless leader" into the fight. He raises his shield and lands it swiftly onto an animal.
Bran shakes off the acidic burst of the oozes as best as he can. That which does land on him, he is presently surprised to find that a small shimer from Auheda's spell protects him from feeling any pain. "Thanks Auheda, not sure exactly what you did but it seems to have worked." The healing light that Valtyra lets off heals most of his wounds and Bran feels pretty ok. He shivers a little bit, not really sure why but let's out a sigh as the fight comes to a close. Bran follows the group into the rooms, not finding too much of interest to him. He speaks out saying, "As concerned as I am for Baine, I think with those who are caring for him, he should pull through. Our biggest concern should be trying to find how to light the fires again. The longer we take to figure that out, the worse it will get up there."
Bran shifts around as best as he can, dodge most of the spray though some of it splashes into older wounds. He winces at the pain a bit but grits through it as one of the oozes moves to close and he takes a swing.
After the oozes moves forward, he cringes a bit and says to the group, "We probably just need to get this over with as soon as we can. No use trying to lessen the damage in these tight quarters." He throws out a series of swift shield bashes, trying to eliminate the oozes as best he can while still keeping formation.
"Not exactly the same oozes we fought before. Anyone know anything about these things?" Bran moves forward about 10 feet, next to Yvell, and pulls out a dagger as he moves. He flips it around before hurling it at one of the creatures.
Having found the creature's tempo, Bran is easily able to dodge and weave away from the creature's strikes. He tries to get into a flanking position with Yvell and swings his shield lightning fast at the pygmies around him.
+2 if flanking
Bran swings his attacks between two of the plant creatures near him.
"A new day, a new discovery in this place, huh?" Bran mumbles under his breath as he follows Yvell into the fray.
"Well....that's new. Best to avoid those things unless they come after us yeah?" Bran says preparing to aviod the creatures as best as the group can.
Question to GM: I think you mentioned that since Torch isn't a huge town, it only sales certain items. So does the town have a +1 Spiked Heavy Shield and a chain shirt that I could buy? Not sure if we want to RP it or just get on with the adventure.
Bran raises his mug and says, "Ho there, friends. Hope everything went well on your end." He looks at Val and says, "Khonnir's ok but doesn't know much. They got about as deep into that cave...ship...whatever as we did before they got ambushed by those robots. Looks like he's the only one that he remembers making it through. Any of you feel that quake from earlier? Seems strange all things considered. This place doesn't exactly get many of those..." He takes another swig of the mug and says "We should try to get going early tomorrow if possible. I may need to do a little shopping around town before we go if our...salesmanship got us anything of course!"
"Well...dad..." The word seemed forced. "Me, Ibuki and a few others went in after you when you didn't show back up for a few days. We..uh..saw a lot of what happened to the expedition and feared for the worst. It's...it's good to see you're doing ok." Bran says, fighting back a few tears. He places a hand on Val for comfort and says, "Did you find out anything about why the flame went out?"
I believe this is in the base rules but I'd like to run this by the GM: If I buy a +1 Heavy Shield, I should be able to add Bashing to it for 3k once I get the gold right? (Bashing is a +1 enhancement, making the shield overall a +2 Shield, so 4k base price. The +1 Heavy Shield is 1k etc etc). Also, rolling HP: ....ouch
Bran takes his reward money and says, "Thanks, I imagine we'll be looking for the solution to the flame problem soon enough." Turning to the rest of the group he says, "I'm going to follow Khonnir's body and see if Val is doing ok. We've been gone for a day or two and I'm not really sure what her state of mind will be on finding Khonnir in that state. Oh...and let me know when you've figured out the money for selling the stuff we found. We probably want to be better prepared before going back into the ship." With that, Bran moves on to the Foundry Tavern, looking for Val and Khonnir.
Bran shifts both of the packs on his back for better feeling and follows Yvell as they make their way through other parts of the place.
"Me can carry it." Bran says as he grab's Valtyra. "I should be fine to carry pack while move. Let know if you need anything from it." He hefts her bag onto his back and tries his best to arrange it so that it doesn't interfere too much. "I agree Yvell. We need avoid the plant. Though I would argue that we don't look for control right now. Getting Khonnir out should be priority." Bran says, the serums effects not really helping him convey stuff too much.
"Yvell, this man Khonnir Baine. Based off of how he talking...he's talking, the machine did something to his brain." Bran says, shaking his head a little. Damn, I hate these side effects.... Bran gives Khonnir his sholder to support him and sees if Khonnir can walk at all. "All right Khonnir, we are try to get you out of this place." Turning back to the rest of the group, Bran says "We need get out of this place. Probably need to avoid the psycho plant if doable."
Bran continues to whirl around the machine as best he can, trying to get into the best position that he can. He's rather lucky that he's punched enough men in armor...and walls. This would really start to hurt his hand other wise.
Bran shakes his fist a bit, the flames singeing his glove. He moves over and starts to wail on the flying machine as best he can. [ooc]5 foot and flurry if possible, otherwise move and shield bash [\ooc]
Bran tries to move into a position where he can get support the team before laying into the medical robot.
Bran chugs one of the vials on his belt, and shakes his head a bit. His vision clouds for a moment before everything gets slower then faster then stabilizes. His muscles seem to expand a bit and his skin shifts in texture slightly. Taste of thing doesn't matter. Just need to save Khonnir Bran moves past the done as best he can, holding his shield to defend himself from any of the drones attacks.
"I think we should just close the door on the...interesting plant...thing and investigate whoever this machine has. It mentioned something was still being treated? It seems to think the creature is still alive...removes undead...may be someone khonnir's group." Bran says, somewhat concerned about where the groups conversations were going. Sure, an animal is fine but another living creature may be...a bit much.
Bran readied his shield in case the creature attacked.Undead, killer machines and now a talking plant. It's like this place is some sort of workshop of horror. Bran doesn't say anything, talking wasn't his strong suit. Instead, he tries to quietly move between it and Ibuki/Burnt One in case it starts to lash out at the group.
To Yvell's question, Bran says "Can't really use most weapons. Never really got used to fighting with anything other than my fists and this shield here." After dealing with the monstrosity, Bran looks around the room a bit. Not really too sure what to make of all of this... "I wonder how skeletons and...a zombie? are showing up down here too, Ibuki. This place isn't exactly teeming with magic or anything. I suppose it's possible that someone else has been down here or maybe something. Maybe all these...people...died do to some sort of evil? A lot of questions, that for sure." Bran shrugs, "Gotta agree with the big guy though, we need to keep moving forward if possible."
On PFSRD, I usually find them on that actual races themselves.
"It's probably related to whoever used to inhabit this place. Maybe whatever created those skeletons outside." Bran shrugs a bit before heading over to assist Yvell with the door if needed.
As you said before, I need to be able to have a feat for at least a day to qualify as a prerequisite. Martial Versatility only applies for minutes in a particular day. They disappear after a set time. So it would seem MV would not give me Shield Master. I don't think Bonus Feats magically turn on in that kind of way. If they intended for me to use MV to get Shield Master, why not give me...Improved Shield Bash at level 11? Do note again that Brawler's Flurry IS Two Weapon Fighting. It says that while I am using unarmed strike, monk weapons and close fighter group(shield bashing is in there), I am treated as having Two Weapon Fighting. So, again, absolutely 0 reason to get the actual feat beyond qualifying for this. I'm not saying that I should get the feat ignoring all prerequisites. Far from it. I'm talking specifically about TWF. I'm fine with getting Shield Slam, Imp Shield Bash and waiting till level 11.
Eh, I'm ok with the answer to question #2 being no. It was more just for clarification than anything else(only thing I would be interested in picking up is Two Weapon Rend at...really high levels). However, question #1 doesn't make much sense to say no to. It says I gain Shield Master as a bonus feat. So, if I don't have TWF, even with Martial Flexibility(which only lasts minutes in a day), I wouldn't be able to get the bonus feat to begin with. To me, it seems really weird, to require a character to get a feat that they don't actually need...at all...to make use of a class feature, archtype or no. It seems like an unnecessary "tax" considering the character revolves around using a shield and it's not like I would be getting it early or anything. To me, it seems more likely to be a typo than anything.
Nice roll there...Question to GM: Shield Champion says that at level 11, I gain the feat Shield Master for free. It also says I must meet all prerequisites. One prerequisite is Two Weapon Fighting. Brawler's Flurry allows me to act like I have two weapon fighting with various benefits beyond regular TWF. Now the problem here is: Brawler's Flurry is not TWF and it doesn't say that it acts like TWF for purposes of feats. So question: Do I have TWF for the purpose of Shield Master(which is a part of my Archtype)? Another question is do I have TWF/ITWF/GTWF(as I level) for purposes of acquiring other feats?
rolling HP....
"Hmm...I don't think our actual supplies are low...We should be safe to spend a light rest here...somewhere...hopefully. It would give us time to recollect our thoughts and prepare to delve deeper into the caverns." Bran says. "Plus, the sooner we find Khonnir, sooner we can have that worry off our backs..."
Bran moves around as best he can, trying to take advantage of their positioning. He thrusts out a leg and attempts to hit one of the skeletons. Now we're dealing with skeletons? What the heck went on here...
