[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5166378, member: 60965"] RAM TIGER growls at the place where the strange metal thing went over, but it's wet down there, so he goes after the other one that looks just like it. He runs around the boat, bounds onto the dock into the stinging green cloud and pounces on the thing, locking his jaws around its "neck" and shaking savagely. Seros changes the grip on his chain, shortening the length of it by wrapping it around his hands and smashes the weapon into the construct in front of him, just as RAM TIGER grabs the creature by the neck. The combined damage of his enemies awakens the beast in Frost, he becomes more like the RAM TIGER than the nimble, quick warrior he was before. With a primal howl, he slams his chain down towards the enemy in front of him, but misses widely and just creates a big splash, but his second strike slams into the other construct. Kasha lashes out at the rusting construct, but its single minded focus on her allows it to narrowly avoid her attacks. Shrakk looks for the construct RAM TIGER tossed into the water, sensing that it's still operational. Not seeing it anywhere, he moves down the [I]Nexal[/I], avoiding the acid cloud, then sending a blast of radiant light searing into the water between Seros and the Green Crystal Construct. --- Pale green lightning again flickers from the gem to the constructs, recharging their protective auras of flickering green energy. Two bolts of lightning then shoot from the gem, one blowing a hole in the side of the shack near Kasha, the other blasting charged spray into the air near Frost. The two remaining rusted constructs assault Kasha and Frost, Kasha's slamming her into the shack so hard the flimsy wooden wall cracks. The charged nimbus around the one attacking Frost seems to mostly protect the flimsy construct from the acid mist as it swings wildly at Frost, the enraged shifter easily avoiding its swings. The one-armed green crystal construct claws its way back onto the [I]Nexal[/I], moving towards Shrakk and unleashing another cloud of burning mist as the avenger parries its swift blows. Metal crunches as the on in RAM TIGER's grip flails futilely in an attempt to escape the feral gnoll's bite, the construct's clawed fingers getting caught in matted fur and barely scratching RAM TIGER. Then it too unleashes its acid cloud, that mingles with the one created by the other green crystal construct, leaving most of the dock and the [I]Nexal[/I] shrouded in burning mist. From up the beach, the blazing red constructs come, one hurling itself off the rock to the south, its slamming into Frost hard from the side while the other spots Kasha as it comes around the side of the shack and closes with her, the blazing heat of the gems on the things' backs searing everything around them. [sblock=Doh! Action Points/Skill Challenge]It seems like there's one of these every round, but I forget to mention that this will be milestone due to the skill challenge before so everyone will get an Action Point after the encounter is over. There was technically no rest between the Skill Challenge "encounter" and this fight, so Seros' Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes and Action Point are still depleted. Good news for everyone but Seros I guess.[/sblock] [sblock=Enemy Actions]The Gem grants a small number of temporary hp to all the constructs, then attacks. Its lightning attacks get 5 Reflex vs Kasha, miss, 12 Reflex vs Frost, miss. Rusted Construct 4 attacks Kasha, getting 21 AC, hit, for 4 damage and Kasha is marked by it. Rusted Construct 5 attacks Frost, getting 5 AC, miss. Green Crystal Construct 1 climbs onto the [I]Nexal[/I], moves near Shrakk, uses Acid Cloud, fails (8) its Stealth check, and attacks, getting AC 9, miss. Green Crystal Construct 2 tries to escape, getting Acrobatics 8, fail. It then attacks RAM TIGER, getting 18 AC, hit, for 6 damage. Red Crystal Construct 1 charges Frost, getting AC 23, hit, for 6 damage. Red Crystal Construct 2 double moves to M7.[/sblock] [sblock=Green Acid Cloud]Creatures that move into or start their turns inside the cloud take 1d6 Acid damage. The area is light obscurement; it grants concealment to creatures inside it or attacked through it.
