The Emerald Spire Superdungeon [IC]

[lostsole31]

Begin Round One ...

R1T21: "Better to be able to say we checked the empty rooms and confirmed there was no hidden passages, than none of us to return at all." Walter responds, before hearing the movement of creatures he can't see. "Is there something in there?" He asks, despite being sure he knows the answer while preparing himself for the fight.

R1T15: "Clanky, Bree-Yark!" cries a voice from within, followed by the same voice seemingly casting a spell that covers the mechanical.

R1T15: Some type of one-armed mechanical man clanks forward to engage Grathar. It hits Grathar right in the center of the chest for 6.

R1T11: Reiko tries to stab from the side of the doorway, missing the mechanical horror.

R1T8: Mordren, what do you do?

[Master K]

Mordren curses under her breath at the lack of a clear path to engage the metal monster, before firing a magic missile at the goblin in the rear instead.

Mv: He'll spend a moment to look over the mechanical man as that seems odd and strange to him.

[lostsole31]

R1T7: Grathar attacks the thing in front of him, foot-stomping the thing for 13 mod - a strike that fully heals himself while he growls, "Ooph! Watch the beard, dummy!"

R1T6: Aroden, what do you do?

Walter on deck, Goblin caster in the hole ...

[Chromascope3D]

Aroden clicked his tongue as his eyes narrowed, shaking his head and stepping backwards, beckoning to Grathar, "Hey, dwarf, step back, ah? Let him come to us!"

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Aroden adopts Malignant Punisher Stance and moves 5' NW.

If he needs to roll a fortitude or reflex save, he'll cast Burst of Adrenaline as an immediate action.

R1T6: Aroden clicked his tongue as his eyes narrowed, shaking his head and stepping backwards, beckoning to Grathar, "Hey, dwarf, step back, ah? Let him come to us!"

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T21: Walter, what do you do?

Enemies on deck and in the hole ...

[meemaas]

Walter moves a bit so he can see through the door, as best as possible considering the lighting, and prepares himself to fire another blast into the first enemy he sees.

Spoiler

Nonaction: 5-foot step directly south
Standard action: Ready an action (or fire, if able) to fire a Surge Blast at the first standing Goblin that he can see.

Surge Blast (1d20+3)[21]
Damage (1d6)[2]

[lostsole31]

R2T21: Walter moves a bit so he can see through the door, as best as possible considering the lighting, and prepares himself to fire another blast into the first enemy he sees.

R2T15: Casting is heard from the room beyond, and the goblin is in the middle of casting a spell.

R2T14: The metal-man - who only has one arm - swings at Grathar, but the dwarf ducks out of the way.

R2T11: Reiko backs up onto the table nearby and tosses her torch at the foot of the metal-man, illuminating it for the others.

R2T8: Mordren, what do you do?

Grathar on deck, Aroden in the hole ...

[Master K]

Mordren fires another Magic Missile at the caster.

R2T7: Grathar, what do you do? You are currently in iron hand stance.

Aroden on deck, Walter in the hole ...

Grathar

Grathar frowns but moves to comply. He tries to get off two quick kicks before falling back.


"Okay, if you think that is wise."

Spoiler

Standard Action: Use the 'Flurry Strike' maneuver using 'Defensive Stance'.

Attack 1: (1d20+4)[9]

Damage 2: (1d6+4)[7]


If an attack roll is a '1' he will use his 'Called' trait to re-roll it.



Move action: Move 10' North



Note: Grathar has the Dodge feat, so he has +4 dodge vs AoO.

[lostsole31]

R2T7: Grathar frowns but moves to comply. He tries to get off two quick kicks - one of which strikes the metal monster for 5 mod - before falling back, the thing swinging at him clumsily as he goes. "Okay, if you think that is wise."

R2T6: Aroden, what do you do?

Walter on deck, Goblin caster in the hole ...

[Chromascope3D]

"Let's show these monsters what makes us their betters, ah!?" Aroden calls out as he steps around Reiko to hug the wall, grinning as he raises his sword above his head, readying himself to deliver a downward chop to the next thing to walk through the open door.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Aroden moves 10' E, and uses Encouraging Roar as a Swift action, grating all allies within 30' a +2 to attack and damage for 1 round. He then readies a standard action to make a Hunting Party strike as a standard action against the metal man, to be taken when his target attempts to make its own melee attack against any target in reach, and granting Reiko an Attack of Opportunity if it hits (since I assume she'll be the only one who'll be able to make an AoO against the metal man at that point).

As usual he will activate any mesmeric mirror he needs to in response to any attack he is aware of.

R2T6: "Let's show these monsters what makes us their betters, ah!?" Aroden calls out as he steps around Reiko to hug the wall, grinning as he raises his sword above his head, readying himself to deliver a downward chop to the next thing to walk through the open door.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T21: Walter, your readied action did not go off and the enemy caster's voice is heard continuing an incantation in the darkness beyond. What do you do?

Enemies on deck and in the hole ...

[meemaas]

Walter will prepare himself to fire a blast at the first enemy to approach the team again, unwilling to be the first to charge into the room with the terrible visibility.

Standard action: Ready an action to fire a Surge Blast at the first foe to come within Line of Sight

R3T21: Walter prepares himself to fire a blast at the first enemy to approach the team again, unwilling to be the first to charge into the room with the terrible visibility.

R3T15: The caster's spell comes to completion, allowing him to grow to a height of a 6-1/2-foot-tall goblin. The caster says something.

Spoiler: Goblin

Show

"Clanky, stay where you are, and stamp out that torch."

Mordren then sees the caster steps out of sight.

R3T14: The one-armed metal humanoid stamps onto the torch, destroying it and taking away that light.

R3T11: Reiko, now unable to see even the automaton, delays...

R3T8: Mordren, what do you do?

Grathar on deck, Aroden in the hole ...

[Master K]

Scowling at having lost sight of the caster, Mordren takes a deep breath and readies herself for what may come next conjuring up her armor.

R3T7: Grathar pauses briefly to collect himself.

R3T6: Aroden's shout wears off. Aroden, your readied action didn't go off. What do you do?

Grathar on deck (to come out of delay), Walter on deck ...

[Chromascope3D]

"Hells," Aroden mutters as the room beyond goes dark. He exhales, shrugs, and steps out, bringing his lighted sword down and into the portal.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Aroden will move 5' south, use his swift action to cast Burst of Adrenaline, and make a power attack against the enemy if it's still there.
Power Attack: (1d20+5)[6]
Damage: (2d6+9)[13]

And will use his mesmeric mirror trick as needed.

[lostsole31]

R3T6: "Hells," Aroden mutters as the room beyond goes dark. He exhales, shrugs, and steps out, bringing his lighted sword down and into the portal. As he does so, a surge blast shoots past his head to miss. The wild "magical" effect from Walter behind Aroden spooks the sellsword noble and a slight bit of that blast hits the lit source, blinding Aroden.

R3T5: Grathar, what do you do?

Enemies on deck and in the hole ...

[Ragnarok'n'Roll]

Grathar

"Guess it isn't going to move." Grathar says.

Grathar lashes out with his meaty fist.

Spoiler

Mv: Move 5' South

SA: Use the 'Silver Strike' maneuver vs Clanky as a 'Risky Strike'.


Attack Roll 1: (1d20+4)[24]
Or
Attack Roll 2: (1d20+4)[17]

Damage Roll: (1d6+6)[9]



If he rolls a '1' on his attack roll, he will use his 'Called' trait to re-roll.

[lostsole31]

R3T5: "Guess it isn't going to move," Grathar says before lashing out with his meaty fist with a special maneuver that strikes the automaton with a crit for 7 mod, but in doing so makes a surprise opening for another attack, but misses that bonus. Still, that strikes did something odd, as electricity rocks all over the automaton.

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T15: The caster gets into Mordren's line of sight and casts a spell at her. She is immediately terrified as the knowledge of the forces that the caster serves washes over her!

R4T14: The automaton punches Aroden in the elbow for 6 as electricity continues to spark and arc about the automaton.

R4T8: Mordren, the evil goblin caster terrified you with his mighty power. She runs away to the west, out of sight of the others.

R4T7: Walter, what do you do?

Aroden on deck, Grathar in the hole ..

[meemaas]

Now that Walter can see an enemy, he takes a moment to attempt to analyze it, hoping to determine a weakness. Then he taps into his innate power and the emotions generated by his combat high to launch a stream of electricity into it. (Or other element if he thinks electricity won't work)

Spoiler

Show

Nonaction: Attempt a knowledge check if not already rolled to see if he knows anything about this. If he can't do it without spending a standard action, he will forgo this step
Standard action: Wild Surge Energy Blast (Air) for 1PP (Or Fire, if the aforementioned knowledge check implies it might be resistant to electricity)

Attack roll (1d20+3)[16] (+4 if the target is or is wearing metal)
Damage (2d6+4)[12] (This effect deals +2 damage per die because of the dual bloodline, which is already in the roll)

Psychic Enervation chance (1d100)[2], if 15 or below, take 1 damage and staggered for 1 round. Also, through Vent Agony, force the target of the power to make a DC 16 Will Save, if possible, or suffer the same penalties.

[lostsole31]

R4T7: Now that Walter can see an enemy, he takes a moment to attempt to analyze it, hoping to determine a weakness, but this thing is just too strange for him to understand. Then he taps into his innate power and the emotions generated by his combat high to will launching a stream of electricity into it. Nothing happens, however. His mind is too unfocused to "aim" his emotions.

R4T6: Aroden, you shake your head and your vision clears. What do you do?

Grathar on deck, Enemies in the hole ...

[Chromascope3D]

Reeling from his attackers blows and rubbing his eyes frantically, Aroden shakes his head and focuses his gaze on the sparking man. Springing back, he shouts, "Dwarf! With me!"

...And launches forward in a desperate counterattack.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

I already know it's not going to work, but Aroden doesn't so he's gonna use Hypnotic Gaze on the robot as a swift action, then attack with a Hunting Party strike, granting Grathar an AoO if it hits.

(1d20+6)[19] Attack
(2d6+6)[15] Damage

He'll use Oaken Shield as an immediate action and mesmeric mirror as a free action as necessary.

[lostsole31]

R4T6: Reeling from his attacker's blows and rubbing his eyes frantically, Aroden shakes his head and focuses his gaze on the sparking man. Springing back, he shouts, "Dwarf! With me!" ...and launches forward in a desperate counterattack, but before his sword contacts, the metal-man explodes in a burst of electricity that affects the heroes for Aroden & Reiko (1 electricity each), Grathar (5 electricity), & Walter (2 electricity).

R4T5: Grathar, what do you do? The majority of the rubble from the exploded metal-man is in the doorway.

Goblin-caster on deck, Mordren in the hole ...

"AHH! dammit! Human... with me!" Grathar shouts back.
He brings a hand up instinctually to his face to confirm his eyebrows are still eyebrows.


Grathar tries to enter the room to chase down the goblin.

Spoiler

Show

2 Move actions:
If he can get into the room, past the metal corpse, he'll head straight for the goblin caster if he sees him. He wants to get close to the caster if possible.

If he doesn't see the caster, he'll make for the centre of the room.

[lostsole31]

R4T5: "AHH! dammit! Human... with me!" Grathar shouts back. He brings a hand up instinctively to his face to confirm his eyebrows are still eyebrows. Grathar enters the room and seeing his prey, chases down the goblin.

R4T4: Reiko comes out of delay, steps in past Aroden, and then goes into a defensive pose.

End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

R5T15: Grathar sees the caster hold a symbol around his neck - that of a three-eyed monster that the dwarf thinks might be that of Lamashtu, but isn't sure - and a dark miasma erupts forth to cover Grathar (3 NE), Reiko, Walter, & Aroden (1 NE).

R5T8: Mordren, you are still instilled with the deep fear of monsters, continuing to make your way towards the exit.

R5T7: Walter, what do you do?
