Grimes - Restful Halfling on the edge

Grimes chills out for some well-earned rest.

[greyarea]

No Cop, No Stop, round 3

INITIATIVE baddies [1d6] = 1 party [1d6] = 2

Algrim and Ulster smash at their foe.
Dandy misses but Furuk deals a shivering blow.

The metal creatures retort. Robot1 targets who? [1d2] = 2 Ulster with what? [1d6] = 4 a ray emanating from the creature's chest. (Please save vs paralysis. If successful, you can continue.)
Robot2 targets who? [1d2] = 2 Furuk with what? [1d6] = 6 a strange force that pushes the half-orc across the room and pins him to the wall. The crushing force is holding him there. (Please make a strength check (3d6 modified by your STR). If you beat a 12 you can continue, otherwise you remain pinned.)

OOC: Fighting these things requires a lot of saves. And the DM screwed up, the laser beams they shot last round should have been two shots per round, so all in your favor.

[Zhym]

The paralyzation beam just misses Ulster. He bangs the tin can on the top with his staff.

Save v. paralysis (7): [1d20+4] = 2+4 = 6
+3 for his robe gets him the save.

Staff of the Woodlands +2 (THAC0 14): [1d20+4] = 8+4 = 12 [1d4+4] = 1+4 = 5
Hits AC 0 with Faerie Fire active.

[merias]

Dandy attempts to plane shift the robot attacking Furuk to the nether-realms.

Dandy touch [1d20] = 8

ooc: Not sure if the attack roll is even needed to just touch these things, or what bonuses apply, but there it is if so.

[GreyWolfVT]

Algrim decides the spear just isn't cutting it so he takes out his scimitar and swings at the same robot he has been thus far. Scimitar +2, +3 versus giants [1d20+3] = 11+3 = 14 To Hit [1d8+2] = 1+2 = 3 Dmg

[Craigers07]

Furuk - Fighter

Furuk is surprised to find himself pinned against the wall. He becomes enraged after the initial shock leaves him and struggles to break free.

"Time to die RoboCops!"

Strength Check [1d20+2] = 20+2 = 22

[spanningtree]

Dieter - Mage

OCC: Looks like Dieter is stunned, not sure what action he can take. Please excuse my lack of posting, took a vacation where I completely checked out. Gonna be a lot of email to read tomorrow (Monday).

No Cop, No Stop, round 4

INITIATIVE baddies [1d6] = 6 party [1d6] = 1

Robot1 targets who? [1d2] = 2 Ulster with what? [1d6] = 1 one of its tentacles monster attack [1d20] = 18! The metal tentacles whips and wraps around the druid (I believe, it can hit -6)! He holds the druid fast and he cannot move (strength check to break free)
Robot2 targets who? [1d2] = 1 Dandy, computing that the half-orc is out of commission, with what? [1d6] = 4 which? [1d5] = 1. A gas grenade explodes near the dwarven cleric (save vs poison, please)

Ulster can't hit with his staff (regardless of his position in the tentacle) but Algrim benefits from a weapon change.
Dandy can't seem to touch the robot for his spell to take effect, perhaps due to the gas in his face, but Furuk breaks free and is furious!

[merias]

Dandy save vs. poison: [1d20+4] = 4+4 = 8 (needs a 3 or higher)

Did Dandy lose his spell? If so, he attacks with Whelm.

Dandy Whelm smash [1d20+6] = 16+6 = 22 Whelm dmg [1d8+5] = 1+5 = 6

If no, he tries the spell again:

Dandy touch [1d20] = 18

[GreyWolfVT]

Algrim stoic and quiet as ever continues to fight the metal beasts. Though the luck of hitting them is entirely different. Scimitar +2, +3 versus giants [1d20+3] = 4+3 = 7 To Hit [1d8+2] = 5+2 = 7 Dmg

[Zhym]

Strength check: [3d6+2] = 10+2 = 12

Is the target a 12 as with the force field?

If Ulster can break free, he summons a swarm of insects to attack the police robot.

[greyarea]

Strength check: [3d6+2] = 10+2 = 12

Is the target a 12 as with the force field?

If Ulster can break free, he summons a swarm of insects to attack the police robot.

The robot's tentacle is listed with a STR of 18/00 so no.

[Zhym]

Okay, so what's the target? How are you translating tentacle strength to a PC strength check?

[greyarea]

Okay, so what's the target? How are you translating tentacle strength to a PC strength check?

Hmm, was thinking that PC needed to roll 19+ to break free. They are strong, metal tentacles.

[Craigers07]

Furuk - Fighter

Furuk charges at Robot 2 and attacks with his sword.

Scimitar of Vorpal Slicing [1d20+5] = 11+5 = 16
Damage [1d8+5] = 6+5 = 11

[greyarea]

No Cop, No Stop, round 5

INITIATIVE baddies [1d6] = 1 party [1d6] = 2

Dandy grabs the metal creature and intones a prayer and there is a shearing of reality and the creature is gone. A small sound is heard as air fills the cavity. *bamf*

Ulster struggles but cannot break free. Algrim cannot hit but Furuk switches enemies and attacks the remaining metal creature, making nice contact. A shower of sparks flies from where his sword bites. CF chance [1d100] = 19

Although not destroyed, the remaining metal creature begins to speak oddly and spin in place. Halt, you must நீங்கள் என்ன செய்கிறீர்கள் என்பதை நிறுத்துங்கள் ac yn ildio ar unwaith یا شما نابود خواهید شد Вы нарушаете Of ụkpụrụ iri atọ na anọ Lan wolung puluh papat lima.

Ulster is kept in its grip for a bit before it spins out and flings the druid into Algrim causing no damage but a bit of confusion. The metal creature continues to spin, while babbling incoherently.

[Zhym]

Ulster tries to finish off the sputtering robot.

Staff of the Woodlands +2 (THAC0 14): [1d20+4] = 8+4 = 12 [1d4+4] = 1+4 = 5

[GreyWolfVT]

Algrim tries to assist in finishing the final foe. Scimitar +2, +3 versus giants [1d20+3] = 16+3 = 19 To Hit [1d8+2] = 1+2 = 3 Dmg

[Craigers07]

Furuk - Fighter

Furuk tries to finish off the robot with another swing of his sword.

Scimitar of Vorpal Slicing [1d20+5] = 17+5 = 22
Damage [1d8+5] = 7+5 = 12
