[LPF] Tower of Power

[Commander_Fallout]

"Gods above..." Samad whispered. A cobra, a scourge of the sands. Something the nomad thought he had gladly left behind, yet here was one now. He entered the room cautiously, scimitar bared before him, keeping his distance as he circled it. He nodded at Paskell to circle the other way, before looking at Aeron at waving his fingers, as though he were casting a spell. He then turned and looked hard at the beast. It was not real, thankfully, but he could not help but be cautious.
[sblock=OOC]Samad moves to M7 and readies an attack in case the cobra enters his threatened area.
Acid Splash is a ranged touch attack, right? Aeron should be able to stand back and provide fire support while Paskell and I flank it.[/sblock]

"Are you mad?" Paskell hissed angrily but making sure that he doesn't enter the room at all, even giving Aeron some room in case his magic was needed.

Instead the tengu looked around the room to see if he can catch a glimpse of the large axe or something that might have killed the monsters like this. Possibly a bigger monster? A scary thought.

GM: [MENTION=6704899]SinisterRogue[/MENTION] Did you want to enter the door still, having seen the cobra construct? I was assuming you might want to change your actions after opening the door, but if you're all committed to entering, I'll proceed.

 

[SinisterRogue]

[sblock=OOC] I'll go with Samad's suggestion. So I believe Samad would enter first and then Aeron/Paskell.[/sblock]

No sooner has Samad stepped into the room than the snake construct springs into action ... after a fashion. Age and combat with the troglodytes has clearly taken its toll, and the construct lurches forward with a grinding noise toward the desert warrior. The guardian seems almost drunk, but its lurching movement makes its attacks unpredictable and difficult to defend against. It curls around Samad's guard and draws a long gash across his arm. Samad can also see that the fangs are hollow, but any reservoir of poison that the thing had has long since dried up.

[sblock=GM]Amazingly, the snake wins initiative. 3 points to Samad. Party is up.

Snake contruct: Heavily damaged (?/?? hp), AC 18 (11 touch).[/sblock][sblock=Map]

As the tail raked his flesh, Samad lashed out in reflex, only to find that his blade bit merely air as his foe pitched and dodged. Fortune wasn't entirely against him this day, he noted as the serpent reared. It looked unable to envenom him. He took a chance and ducked forward, before being swept back by the tail again.

Fortune is a fickle thing.
[sblock=OOC]"Man, I really missed rolling below 5," said no one ever.

Seeing that there is only one enemy to fight so far Paskell decided to get into the fight and ran in with his sword, trying to dodge out of the way of the rickety old construct.

[sblock=OOC]Paskell is going as far as possible behind the construct northwise to try and flank it.

Wow not bad, although since snake won initiative I guess no sneak attack right?[/sblock]

GM: @sinisterrogue Aeron's actions, please.

 

[Systole]

Samad steps around the construct, allowing space for Paskell to slip by and land a wicked hit on the guardian. Gears grind as he he strikes a sensitive spot. Aeron steps in, one hand glowing green, but neither the tiefling's magics not his blade can find purchase on the thing.

The guardian turns and strikes at the tengu, but its corroding fangs cut only the air.

[sblock=GM]Samad can take a 5 ft step to the side without provoking an AoO. If he does that, Paskell can move to the north and flank for a sneak attack. Extra 4 points of sneak attack in that case.

NPCing Aeron. Spell combat, misses with acid splash and normal attack.

Snake contruct: Near death (?/?? hp), [10 points done, but has some damage reduction] , AC 18 (11 touch).[/sblock][sblock=Map]

"Why is it always me?" the tengu asked as he got a look at the construct's fangs that were a little but too close for comfort before showing the construct his sharpish sword and beak.
[sblock=OOC]Attack rolls: 1d20+2=12, 1d20-3=8
Both missed. After the full round attack taking the free 5ft step behind and away from the construct [/sblock]
