Doctor Rhaym's page

Damn shame. Good game!

Head to the spider for a closer inspection.

Rhaym frowned, looking at the giant spider bot.
"It looks like that spider bot was targeted by the combination of a plasma and concussion blast." He said. Then he looked around, worriedly.
"I don't know of any man portable weapons that could do that."

Know:Engineering: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Gazing back and forth at the view, Dr. Rhaym consulted his notes.
"Well, the android Casandalee said that 'An aspect of her consiousness' is somewhere in the... disturbingly named 'Valley of the Brain Collectors'. I suppose yon mechanical spider is as good a place to start as any." He said.

Does anyone need to go buy and sell in town?

I knew nothing of the sort.

Oh, sorry, but I thought you guys had come across the name Casandalee before the last encounter.

Doctor Rhaym sat back, astonished at the revelations.
As if in a daze, he turned to the others.
"Did you know ANY of this? Why wouldn't you have told me?"

"Where is Silver Mount?" Doctor Rhaym continued, trying to follow this thread.

Disappointed at being unable to fix up the android on the table, Dr. Rhaym sat back for a moment trying to gather his thoughts. Glancing at his companions, he leaned forward again to pursue this startling line of inquiry.
"Casandalee, what or who is Unity?" He asked.

"How did you betray your god Unity? What plans did you try to warn of? Who were these puppets? You can't be dead, you are talking with us now. How injured are you? Can we put you back together?" Asked Doctor Rhaym one after another in rapid succession, utterly fascinated by this creature and its story.

I will put my Ring of Protection +1 into party treasure, as I can't wear it as well.

"Why are you a fugitive? What faith? Pursued Rhaym.

Rhaym peers closer at the object emitting the green glow.
"Greetings. I am Doctor Rhaym. Who might you be?" He asked hesitantly.

There was mention of a glowing green object beside the skull before all the excitement. What is it?

Rhaym, you don't think its possible to put the android back together, its been here too long and the connections do not seem like they would really work, it may be possible to communicate directly with the android's brain.

Reluctant to simply abandon a possibly living creature to the damage already inflicted, Dr. Rhaym started exploring ways and means to communicate with the android brain.

Doctor Rhaym would kinda like the wand, pistol and rings, if no one else wants to claim them.

I understand HP convention is roll twice and take average (round up) for each level after first.

HP L10: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 8) = 9 =(4.5)=5

bomb touch attack at ground of wizard-cloud: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10 to do 5d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 3, 2, 6, 2) + 6 = 24 fire damage to the cloud, Ref save DC20 for half.
Also ignites pool of oil dealing 1d6 ⇒ 4 fire damage this round. Ref save DC15 or catch on fire.

Dr. Rhaym rolled forward next to the worktable, hopefully taking him out of fireball formation.
He lobbed a breakable flask of oil at the floor underneath the remaining enemy.
Ranged touch vs AC5: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 = 13 a pool of lamp oil 10ft diameter spread in a pool under the enemy.
This area is now very slippery... and flammable.

Ref save DC17 vs fireball: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 Ducking back, he only took half of the blast of fire, which was still agonizing.

Rhaym grabbed up another two bomb shells, popped the catalizers in and lobbed one at the thought eater bot and one at the feet of the wizard-cloud.

bomb 1 touch attack vs robot: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 = 24 for 5d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 6, 4, 6, 5) + 6 = 28 fire damage (no save).
Also 5'r. splash for 11hp fire damage, ref save for half DC20. (He made sure to exempt the squares his allies were standing in.)

bomb 2 touch attack at ground of wizard-cloud: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7 to do splash damage to the cloud for 11hp fire, Ref save DC20 for half.

Realizing it was time to fight, Rhaym rapidly grabbed up two bomb shells, popped the catalizers in and lobbed one at the thought eater bot and one at the feet of the wizard-cloud.

bomb 1 touch attack vs robot: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 1 = 18 for 5d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 6, 1) + 6 = 18 fire damage. Also 5'r. splash for 11hp fire damage, ref save for half DC20.

bomb 2 touch attack at ground of wizard-cloud: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10 to do splash damage to the cloud for 11hp fire, Ref save DC20 for half.

Dr. Rhaym froze. Turning his head towards the Thought Harvester robot he said; "Perhaps we could hold this discussion in the next room, behind closed doors." He said, sidling towards the door.

Rhaym examined the android as closely as possible, thinking about various ways he could put her back together... until smoke-Posh's continuous vapor interference trod upon his last nerve.
"Master Poshment!" He exploded, stepping back from the table. "You will cease your antics! As you feel the need to peck at me incessantly, I will stuff your immaterial body into one of my bottles until the feeling goes away! Perhaps in a month or three!" He gritted out.
He reached into his bag and pulled out an Ehrlenmyer flask by way of demonstration.

Doctor Rhaym is impelled into the room by curiosity alone. The corpse would seem to be beyond his help, but the android is fascinating by it's separation into parts.
Is it possible to put her back together? He wondered.
Intelligence: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Heal check: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28
Knowledge:Engineering: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

So we see everything in the room even on the map?

Rhaym straightened up.
"This is odd. This giant armored door has an open pinhole through it. No airflow I can see. But, what could it BE for?" He asked aloud.

So there is an actual opening there. Was the air flowing in, out, or not at all?

"'Lab Zero: Mnemotechnic Recovery' is what is written over this door that... doesn't seem to have a way of opening." Mused Doctor Rhaym aloud.
Taking a closer look at the pinhole, he backed off a pace and thought for a moment. "I wonder..." He muttered. Then from his bag he took a sheet of parchment and some smoke powder and twisted them together. He lit it and wafted the smoke at the pinhole, trying to see if there was a current of air into or out of the hole.
Knowledge:Engineering: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

"Fascinating..." Said Doctor Rhaym at the sights of this room.
He started walking SW towards the large door, intent on reading what was written above it.
Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Wary and not saying anything, Doctor Rhaym backs out of the room.

Doctor Rhaym tipped his hat.
"And greetings to you as well! So sorry we must leave now..." He said, backing up.

Doctor Rhaym frowned as he examined the northern cell.
"It looks like this cell was burst from within... by insects. An un-natural phylum of insects." He commented, before turning and noticing the insects moving.
"Well perhaps it's time to leave." He said hastily.

The insects starting to move together, are they inside the middle cell, or outside of it with us?

"Master Poshment, if you would be so kind as to check the south cell. I couldn't see anything inside from the doorway, but it would be good to double check." Called Doctor Rhaym, still taking a closer look at the burst doors of the north cell.

Avoiding the cage of worms, Doctor Rhaym moved around to the cage that had been burst from within. He looked closely for clues as to what had been prisoned within and how it was able to break free.
Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
Knowledge:Nature: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Knowledge:Engineering: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Knowledg:Arcana: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

Curious, Dr. Rhaym searches the desk.
Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Rhaym casually stands up again and retreats.
"Be careful. Those insects are part of a creature called a Worm That Walks." He whispered to his companions. "Don't disturb them if you can help it."

Curious as to the nature of the insects, Doctor Rhaym approaches to examine them.
Knowledge:Nature: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Doctor Rhaym turned a jaundiced eye on Posh, then used a handkerchief to wipe down where Posh prodded his elbow.
"That is a way of examining a living subject.
"And, whether or not I would have learned anything, I would still have liked to try." He said, sniffing.

Cautiously approaching the altar, Doctor Rhaym waived the smoke away with his hat.
"Hmpf. A pity. I would have liked to examine it's physiology by vivisection." He noted aloud.

Frowning, Rhaym decided to take more direct action.
He popped a catalyst into a bomb shell, wound up and threw a pitch just over Suppressor bot and onto the creature, where it exploded in a ball of fire.
Bomb: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 - 2 = 15 touch attack for a possible 5d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 4, 6) + 6 = 25 fire damage.

Not sure what he's looking at, Dr. Rhaym throws two darts as an experiment.
dart attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 = 23 for a possible 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 piercing damage.

Dr. Rhaym backs 30' towards the entrance.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
"What? What do you see?" Rhaym asked, noting the interest in the altar.

What is it that you were trying to do Doc?

Doctor Rhaym looked up.

Doctor Rhaym jolted back as the wand only spit out some octarine sparks.
Frowning, he blew a little on the tip and tapped it against the wall.
Then he tried it again; waiving the wand through the air in the prescribed pattern.
Use Magic Device (Wand of Detect Magic): 1d20 + 12 - 10 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 10 = 13
He resumes walking around the room, looking for things of interest.

So GM; apropos of nothing, is there any particular procedure when you roll a 1 while activating a magic device?
Asking for a friend...

No knowledge:religion
Entering the room, Doctor Rhaym pulls out a Wand of Detect Magic and activates it with a gesture....
Use Magic Device: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
... and begins to scan the room for magic traces.

Doctor Rhaym continued throwing darts...
Dart attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 23 for a possible 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 piercing damage.
Hasted Dart attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 20 for a possible 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 piercing damage.

Doctor Rhaym threw a dart at the last enemy.
mwk dart: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 for a possible 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 piercing damage.
