Radiance Monster Hunter (IC)

Hearing the warning from Lane, Moradin moves into the warehouse and blasts at one with his shotgun but missed. Lane draw a sunrod from her pack, striking against the ground to ignite it, she tossed it into the entryway to provide the others with light to see the small spider mechanic things. Eli blasted one of them with a quick psychic bolt when he realized that the creatures were vulnerable to psychic energy. His attack was not as perfect as he hoped but it still cause the spider-think to jerk away from him. Grynm entered the warehouse and tried to stab one the things but it sprang out of the way of his slashing weapons. Trebuchet also tried to slash at the spider thing with its greatsword but missed! Finally Giuseppe took quick aim at the mechanic device that Eli had wounded and blasted it good.

The undamaged device shot a blast of metal shrapnel that catches both Moradin and Grynm in the spray but this does not penetrate their armor. The other shots a spike like bolt at Grynm but misses him. Then two additional ones charge along the floor at bite at Moradin and Trebuchet, and while they both hit their metal ‘teeth’ are not powerful enough to pierce the pair’s armor. Moans from deeper within the warehouse suddenly are heard and three walking undead monstrosities emerge and stagger up to Moradin, Grynm and Trebuchet. They are clumsy and slow as their misshapen and mismatched hands reach out for the trio! Three additional fleshy mechanical undead creatures can be seen moving this way at the edge of the sunrods’ light. They moan like the cursed damned as their strange mechanical like eyes burn with insane hunger… for the living?

Switching to his gun, Eli takes aim at the severely wounded spider thing, firing in rapid succession.

Giuseppe yelped in fright when the flesh constructs appeared. He had heard... tales about animated corpses fused with technology. "Ah-watch out for the walking dead! They'll tear you ah-limb from limb or eat-ah your brains. If you've got a blade, use it because bullets, they-ah don't work so well."

Realizing his firearm would be of little use against the flesh constructs, he drew the bolt back on his rifle and chambered another round, aiming at one of the mechanites not engaged with one of his allies for fear of hitting them instead.

The little things were surprisingly hard to hit, but they needed to be getting dead. He swung his scythe down once more at the mechanical spider thing.

Trebuchet had conflicting reactions to the oncoming fracas. On the one hand...it finally got to utilize his primary function! That was good! On the other, it calculated a low probability that any of these entities was a spellcaster, which was unfortunate. Then again, this did strongly suggest one was behind these layers of minions, so there was definitely something to work towards!

Eying the oncoming monster of flesh, Trebuchet attempted to suss out what manner of thing it was (arcana [roll0]) before activating protective sigils that suddenly blazed to life with eerie cerulean light, etching arcane runes all over its' chassis (activating Shield ability, 1 vitality cost +2 DR)...and leaping to attack!

Greatsword attack: [roll1] attack, for [roll2] damage!

(Note - if golem hits, may use Dodge (2v cost) to negate the hit)

Round 2

Moradin cursed as the spider thing dodged his pellets and rammed another shell into the barrel. Shrapnel from one of the spiders peppered his armor, but failed to pierce, as did the mecha-beastie’s sharp mandibles.

But there were bigger things to worry about right now. Literally. Large, lumbering undead monstrosities shuffled into view, one moving toward him. The kobold yells out a warning that the flesh constructs aren’t much damaged by bullets, so Moradin lets his shotgun swing on its sling strap and yanks out his dwarven battle axe, swinging out at the construct’s knee, but just misses the monstrosity.

Moradin draws and slashes his battleaxe at the undead monster before him, but slipped on something and missed the clumsy creature!!! Lane called upon her spirit guardian to try and attack one of the spider creatures but it resisted the attack somehow. Eli blasted the wounded spider thing and blew it to pieces. His second shot was not as lucky as he missed the other. Grynm stabbed down into the small construct nearby and damaged it with a solid hit from his scythe but the creature had heavier armor then he expected. Trebuchet’s heavy blade sank deep in the flesh construct before it but the creature seem to fully ignore the injury as it continued to moan and some form of electrical charge seemed to form around one of its fists!!! After Giuseppe shout of warning his missed blasting one of the spider things… they were just to small and fast it seemed.

The three remaining spider things all shot weird little bolts at the party members standing outside and all hit, but only Eli and Lane suffer minor scratches, Giuseppe’s armor protecting him. Then two of the undead creatures reach out with their oddly mismatched hands to grab Moradin and Grynm!! Moradin is able to shake off the first creatures grab but the other gets a hold of Grynm by the coat and pulls the man into an unholy (and very rotten smelling) embrace!!! The other, with an electrically charged fist swings at Trebuchet but missed. The last three continue moving forward, one advancing towards Moradin and the other looking to gang up on the restrained Grynm. In fact its mouth seem to curl into a frightening smile. The last one moves towards the open warehouse doors staring with hunger at the trio outside…
