Variel feels the injection ignores it as he focuses on the robot attacking them.
It seems that the injunction did something to him though as he misses the metal creature. Not wanting to be next to the beds he steps to he side to avoid more of the needles.
Hey guys I am sorry but I am having a real hard time getting into this campaign. Some of it is the repeating character, some of it is pace of play and some is gaming style. For that reason I wish that you replace me with someone else. I have given this some major thought and this is the best answer I have come up with. I will still be around till we find our goal so as to not leave you all in the lurch.
Aoo on machine for [ooc]Any damage is applied to cmb as well.
Hit once and held by the metal creature Variel tries to break the hold on him and reverse it so he can possibly pin the thing. fort save grapple Variel was able to resist the fluid that was injected into him but could not slip out of the hold. Hopefully his friends would bash the thing in quick enough to free him.
combat question: Just so I understand that it moved opened the door full attacked with grab (understandable) and was till able to move again back to the beds in a single surprise round?
Thanks Doc, now do we close up shop or see what this thing is capable of?
Variel quickly casts a defensive spell as he sees the thing with the strange claws looking at them. I don't think that is what w are looking for but anyone got any suggestions? Cast shield
Turning to Celest Variel raises and eyebrow and asks her, Do you think this place has unhinged him a bit? I mean why would he have fungal automatons? I could well believe that he had a fungal infection but that is not something you talk about openly.
I am pretty sure that we don't have access to that box yet. The only option we have then is to proceed along the blood trail and hope we are still in time. Let's move it and get this rescue mission over with. With any luck we will be in time and we will find one of those card things to let us in the vault on the way back. Variel moves up taking his normal position protecting Doc letting those with more understanding of this place take the lead.
Variel nods along with Flynn as he has not worked on siege engines at all. If you say so then I will agree with you. Good call on the last key to open the lock box back there. looking ahead to Celest, Shall we continue around and proceed onwards?
Oilers? What an oiler?
Variel shakes his head at the idea that Cheshire is putting forth. You can't be serious man? That little thing scan fire Doc's bombs? If so then that isa mighty weapon indeed but still too strange for my liking. What ever happened to good honest steel? Variel asks as he pats his rapier's hilt.
Looking at the objects Variel his head in disbelief. No thanks, I prefer my rapier instead. If you think that it is well suited to you then by all means help yourself and make use of them. Variel then waits patiently while Celest scouts ahead to let them know what is waiting for them.
I thought we had a black and a grey card.
Variel considers the timing and shrugs his shoulders, Apparently so. Now lets see where that creature came from unless we need to heal up before we continue on. Cheshire are we safe to go past that door with the strange lock that needs that square thing you hold to it?
will save knowledge check
Noticing the way the creature is healing itself Variel calls out. Use acid or fire if you have it to keep it from healing.
will save calm emotions success Seeing no alternative but to finish the fungal thing quickly Variel redoubles his efforts to kill the creature. Any idea how to keep it from healing itself? attack for The blow landed but it was not as much damage as Variel would have liked though. Still it was perhaps enough to counter the healing it was doing.
will save 1 success
Variel slashes at the monstrosity next to him hoping to buy some time for his companions to come to his aid and flank the creature. Witht he strange creatures they have met thus far he is unsure what to use against it. As such he simply imbues his rapier and hopes for the best. swift imbue weapon
thanks for the heads up Celest but how do we kill it?
Variel follows the conventional wisdom and stays on the blood path but diligently avoids getting any blood on himself to keep the 'thing' from targeting him.
Variel points to the door the blood trail leads to. I guess onward then?
Variel gives Celest a sharp look as he mutters to her, Be careful what you say, they might take that literally. That would not be a pretty picture right now and one doc may not be able to fix. Variel will follow the clean stripe back to see where it leads but does not open any doors if they block his path. As he goes he calls out to Cheshire, Any luck with this place?
Variel steps foot into the room and stops immediately as he hears the 'voice'. As the others have answered already Variel remains silent to the voice but looks around quickly. Remember the last room with all of the lights in it. Lets not touch anything until we know for certain what they are. perception
I agree. I had hoped we could possibly end the threat from behind and close off this area but it does not seem like we are to be so fortunate. Pressing on after the blood trail seems to obvious but we are lacking better options at the moment.
If tha tis the case then I am thinking of going with Selena whenever we get back. It is a character I tried previously but burned out. Female would traveler born from a wealthy merchant family that got tired of her drab life. Will tweak it to fit the campaign setting and the character guidelines when I get a chance. Will post it here as well for your final approval Camris. 20 point buy with 7/18 being the min/max for each stat before racial mods.
Check the path without blood. We know where the path with blood and therefore trouble lies. Make sure nothing is behind us as me move in.
Variel stands impassively as Doc blows up on him. Once doc is done Variel simply states his case. [b]Yes I heard you before in the previous rooms. Ho ver this is th first time we came through here unless I am mistaken. As such I wanted to know about the conditions of what we found. This place is unnatural to me and as such who knows if this occurr d at the same time as the others. We already found one creature that disappeared after it was dead. What oth strange things might we find here. I apologize if it offends you but I will keep asking as we move along to make sure we are not going the wrong way or something else happened that we are unaware of.[b]
Hey guys I am in a bit of a conundrum here. The situation is that a campaign I was in with Variel is going again which means I have 2 elven magus characters. What are your thoughts if after we reach an area that allows I make a new character to play? I would still go with an arcane character as we don't have one at all. Either a transmuter or a witch would be my first inclination.
How fresh is this fluid?Variel asks as he turns to Doc. I mean we know the party before us was what a week at least by now. If this is fresher than that then either they are still alive and just ahead of us or something else has gotten in here and is causing mayhem as well. Before we go too far though lets make sure to completely destroy those piles of metal things. I don't want them to try and come after us once we are past them. Once he gives his opinion on the matter Variel lets Flynn do his thing as he listens and searches ahead.
Lead on and I will follow. Just remember how to get back here if we find that white card you think we need. Finding his position in the back Variel watches behind them as they progress onward.
Struggling with the door Variel calls oto the others. Nice work there. Is that box able to be moved and carried along with us? If so then let's grab it and continue on in the piece of, well, whatever this place is. The can redeem for money if we ever get out of here but that light thing could come in handy. I still have my light spell but a backup is good as well.
Turning to Flynn, You want to check the lockers quickly first for goods and I will stand guard at the door going east? I can work on opening it a bit more as well while you work. Take 20 on str for result of 23.
Let's quickly check out the doors without the bloodstain. Perhaps there will be something valuable that can aid us on the journey. Unless you think that another 30 minutes might matter after 6 days. I am not a pessimist but I do not like the idea of him surviving this long in such a strange area. I hope for his sake that he is still alive but my hope wanes. Variel will head towards whichever door the rest choose and take his position in the back to allow Flynn and Cheshire to scout ahead.
5-6 days ago you say? that would make it about the time that the whole problem started. Seems like we need to get on the other side and see what is going on. Do any of those cards work to open this? Variel maintains his position at the entrance ready to move in as needed.
Variel stays back at the behest of Flynn as the rogue sours ahead. Rapier in hand he waits to see if anything springs out at them. Good luck Flynn.
Honestly, if that is the first thing to give you pause then you might have some other issues as well. The first sign of something strange going on around here was when we passed through the door a few days ago and arrived on this strange landscape. After that everything has been weird. Variel says this all matter of factly as he checks to make sure his rapier is free and this mind is clear and ready for the coming day.
Perhaps Flynn should hold onto the card then as he is typically up front. Once he checks for traps then he can try to open the doors up. Stretching and loosening up Variel graps his rapier and heads to the door. Ready to head out everyone. We may still have a long way to go.
4/20 hp prior to the heals but Variel was declining till the others are conscious. Just let me know what if any Variel recieved.
Variel declines the potions and extracts until all of the others are up and conscious at least. Only then would he accept a healing draught. He cringes slightly at the smack from Flynn. Thank you but hold off on your praise for the moment. We still have to get out of here and I am in no condition to accept any heartier praise right now. I do say that a strong wind would blow this party over and scatter us to the four corners at this rate. We need to rest and recover. I will take the first watch and let the others sleep. They need the rest more than I do.
Variel gives flynn a pained look. Yes, yes. Next time use that first if it works so well. In the meantime we need to seriously reconsider our ability to press on. Each and everyone of these things hits more often and harder than we do. Not only that but they resist our weapons damage. Let us rest here in this room keeping watch while we recover. Hopefully by then Cheshire will awake and the good doctor will be able to heal us all come morning. Variel hauls Cheshire into the room and sets him in on a table to allow Rhaym to work on him. Once tha is done then Variel looks at the hea that is dropped, the words on the wall and for anything else of note. Spellcraft
That cloak is interesting. It provides a modicum of magical protection against spells and effects. However to this point such protections have not been needed. I would rather a few healing potions or wands to get us all up healthy. Still it may come in useful later.
Variel continues to work at attacking the creature. Hopefully they will be able to put it down quickly so that Rhaym can attend to Cheshire and they all can get some healing. attack for
Magic Rapier attack for
Variel gets beneath the guard of the creqture and plunges his rapier into a soft spot drawing forth ichor and certainly drawing its attention from the women in the party.
Variel moves up and past Flynn to the right of the creature as he hopes to make solid contact with his rapier. As he moves he uses Cheshire and Flynn for cover to keep the thing from attacking him as he moves. attack for
Variel looks at Cheshire, I don't think that was a good sound. Try the other door and see what happens. Otherwise we might have to try a different route or see if we can force this door open.
Brown or black which one should we try? Then if no one answer soon enough Variel will touch the plate with the black symbol first and see what happens.
Variel will gladly accept a potion to heal him up to full. Once that is done then he looks at some of the other doors and sees if there is a plate or something similar that Sheshire used to open it up.
Hey, good luck man and keep your chin up. thanks for the notice though, I do appreciate that.
Very well then, where do we head next? Do we just start opening doors to see what is inside each of them? Either that or we rest a bit to recover for the next stage in the journey. It does not matter what we do to me. I still look for your direction down here but feel that we must pick up the pace in our decisions or we will never find our missing person.
Seeing the expanse of desert hovering there Variel asks Cheshire, Is it a map that we can use to know our location and our destination? He remains in the hallway though keeping a lookout should any foes approach.
