Bink's Christmas Brawl

[Farmerbink]

With the addition of light, it becomes a trivial matter to take stock of your surroundings. Several heavy wooden shelves line the wall of the workshop. Five large stone tables lie at seemingly random locations around the room, though at closer inspection you see each is near a particular shelf or tool. Many have extra space on one side, perhaps for assembling the things built otherwise atop them. Where a 6th table might be, instead is a squat black iron forge. A thin metal pipe carries the smoke through the stone roof. Its door hangs open, casting a dim red glow across the floor in front of it.

Toys in various stages of completion are scattered, seemingly haphazardly across the tables. Finished toys of every type imaginable line the shelves. Hand-held wooden games, small balls and trucks, bicycles, and more can be seen if you take a minute to look for them.

Still, nothing answers from near nor far as Jack calls out and steps into the room.

As such, he's taken fully by surprise when a hammer and a pair of pliers leap off the table beside him, sending themselves straight at his face! Fortunately for our gaunt hero (?), the tools have poor aim, and clatter uselessly to the floor beside him.

“Of course, I’ve been too close to see! The answer’s right in front of me!” exclaims Jack as the tools attack and miss him. "Or, at least these are! Get them!" he cries as he punches flails uselessly at the nearest one with a bony fist before stepping back and away.

Unarmed Strike: (1d20)[4] to hit, (1d20)[1] (20/x2), (1d6-1)[3] bludgeoning damage, (1d6-1)[2] critical strike damage.

He then 5-ft steps to S22.

If these are constructs, which I think is reasonable, then Jack won't be of much use this fight. I will try to Grease them next round, or even use Silent Image (which should work well to isolate them, but cannot really do much impactful to them).

As the tools fly up towards Jack from across the room, The Grinch steps off to the side to make them go BOOM!

"This day is getting weirder and weirder!" Jaque yelped, as the shock of angry tools was eclipsed by the shock of multiple explosions going off around him. He was virtually shoved aside by his phantasmal reindeer as it tried to clobber the hammer with a swing of its antlers, and after a moment's confusion Jaque joined in, trying to smash the animated tools into the ground.

Sorry, I should have checked Albinobrow's post more thoroughly earlier- it would have saved a lot of time.

Jack looks at the broken tools and his companions before smiling broadly. "Well done, friends!

"What is this...?" he asks himself while looking inside the forge.

Jack and the Grinch begin prowling forward ((map updated)), carefully peering around the room for more threats.

The unlikely band steps carefully through the workshop. As The Grinch and Jack point out a pair of animate tools (one of them a rather large worktable!), they and Mick leap into action! With a bullet and a smash from the quick-footed Grinch, the wrench is sent to the floor in a pair of inanimate pieces.

And everyone gets to watch wit ha bizarre mix of confusion, amusement, and perhaps even fear as they watch a large wooden table struggle to keep its footing, and ultimately crash to the floor in a heap. It rises like an awkward, alien foal, and stays put in the middle of the grease-y patch.

A few moments later, a small bench gallops up from further back in the shop, bearing a small army of tiny awls, saws, and chisels!

"...I really spoke too soon about this day being weird."

Jaque's reindeer charged at the struggling table, but Jaque himself focused on the defeated (?) hammer, raising his glowing Christmas tree up to illuminate the area. "How about you go back to join your friends?!" He flicked his free hand and spoke a word of magic, and the hammer went flying towards the bench.

As virtually everyone involved continues to rub their eyes, thoroughly unsure whether this is real or you're involved in some mass-hallucinogenic event, the workshop explodes in violence!

Jack greases the ground under the charging bench, which somehow manages to keep its feet? Even as the Grinch lobs an incendiary (resulting in four smoldering tools falling from the bench), the bizarre creation charges at Rudolph! With a word and a gesture, Jaque warns his phantasmal companion, and the reindeer turns aside the charging... bench. Mick blasts the worktable, though the bullet fractures into dozens of tiny fragments on its surface, no doubt causing less structural damage than might have been nice. Jaque zeroes in on one of the approaching tools, and with surprising efficacy tosses it harmlessly (for you) into the wall.

And still, the unexpected(?) assault continues. Three tools (an awl, the remaining chisel, and a small hand saw) jump (?) from the bench's back (?), sending themselves flying at Jack and Jaque. The hammer-wielding fellow smashes a chisel from midair reflexively, but there are too many for him to keep them all away. An awl manages to soar past Jack's defenses, puncturing the sickly-thin fellow's shoulder.

Then the strangest thing you've seen in some time happens. The table slams into Rudolph with bone-breaking force. Legs churning like an ox on a yoke, it pushes Rudolph into the suddenly gaping mouth of the flared-up forge! The opening- usually reserved for adding coal to the flames slams down on Rudolph's flank, singe-ing fur even as it threatens to break the poor reindeer's leg!

Spoiler: OOC

Show

I'm so glad I made these bizarre things.

The bench and tools are proving bothersome, but not much more than that. Still, amusingly neat. Jaque caused a charge from the bench to turn into a miss, and Jack took 2 damage from a kamikaze awl.

Poor Rudolph took a brutal slam from the worktable: 13 damage, and a bull rush good enough for 10 feet of movement- into range of the forge! The forge hit for 8 more damage- one of which is fire, if it matters, and has Grappled Rudolph!

"I lost several of those to bombs once...undead reindeer are much more resilient, you know?" says Jack soberly as he watches Rudolph go into the oven's maw. As he watches he's too distracted to avoid the flying tool, taking a painful wound to his boney shoulder and crying out in pain. As his mouth opens he turns at the awl, punching with his skeletal fists and biting down with suddenly jagged fangs protruding from his undead smile!

Jaque's eyes widened as his reindeer vanished into the forge's 'mouth,' taking a half step towards the angry tools before catching himself. Jack's comment earned him a bit of a glare from the Christmas-tree-wielding magician before he swiped a hand through the air that trailed magic and snowflakes. "Disappear!"

In a fascinating display of ineptitude, virtually everything suddenly goes wrong. Jack struggles in vain to punish the awl for punching a tiny hole in his shoulder. As he steps away, an errant bomb from the Grinch lands where he had been standing moments before! Despite the green-skinned fellow's best efforts, it explodes leaving both Jack and Mick badly seared!

Mick blasts the table, but his bullet simply ricochets off its hard metal surface. The forge sputters, its maw now empty, spraying an impressive but useless gout of fire into the middle of the room. The table, bench, and awl all converge on Jaque as the nearest threat, but he easily dodges all of their simple slams.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

I can't find any explicit ruling, so I've decided that a "miss" with a precise bomb simply deactivates any effort to control its splash. The good news, is the saw was close enough to also be toast. The bad news is so were Jack and Mick. Jack takes 6 damage, Mick takes 3.

1st-level 4/4

[Farmerbink]

Fire of several varieties flash out, singing the surface of the table, but not doing an awful lot else. Jack's poor shot goes wide, before Jaque's hammer comes down on the surface with quite a clang. Metal on metal dents the table, though surely not as much as he'd have liked.

A moment later, the table slips on the greasy floor and slams into the floor hard enough to feel the ground shake. You can't be sure in the dimness, but it seems likely to have cracked the stonework at least. The bench charges forward like a galloping labrador, and much like its furred facsimile, throws its hip into Jack's knee- though it hurts quite a bit more when the hip is made of wood.

"One of my least favorite people would say, 'You really are too much,' to these absurd tools, tables, and knick knacks!" exclaims Jack as he pivots, trying to draw the bench into a flanking position as he slams a boney-fist into it again.
