[GnomeWorks]

Battle at the Temple, Round II

Initiatives
Animus - 20
Goblin - 19
Niko - 15
Jirlai - 9
Golem - 8
Githyanki - 3
Jhessail - 2

Animus attacks the goblin, empowering his weapon with inner power.

Animus gets a 10, a miss.


The goblin turns and shoots at Animus with his crossbow.

The goblin gets a 17, a hit! The crossbow inflicts 7 points of damage to Animus.

As the goblin fires, Animus attacks the goblin, taking advantage of the opening the small humanoid left.

Animus gets a natural 19, a crit! He then gets a 20, another crit! Animus then rolls a 14, which is a miss. He still proceeds to inflict 12 points of damage to the goblin.


Suddenly, Niko, his golem, and the goblin disappear from view. A moment later, the goblin reappears.

Meanwhile, a bullet appears out of nowhere, headed for Jirlai.

Student check - 13.

The bullet plows into Jirlai.

Sollir gets a natural 20, a crit! He then gets a 21, a hit. Sollir inflicts 11 points of damage to Jirlai.


Jirlai swears, clutching his wound where the bullet hit him, then turns to the githyanki. "We cannot fight them if they are invisible!"

He points his staff at the doorway into the room, and a wall of ice appears five feet in, covering the entire entrance.


Out of nowhere, something invisible pummels the goblin - the ends of the golem's fists become temporarily visible as they attack the goblin.

The golem gets an 11 and a 12, both of which miss.


The githyanki surveys the room. There is a purple flare of light...

Manifester check - 23.

...and suddenly, Niko and the golem are visible once again, a small shower of metallic-grey and purple sparks flying off of a small object on Niko's person - his cloak generator.

"Is that satisfactory?" He asks Jirlai.

The sorcerer nods approvingly. "Very."

Map of Round II of Battle at Temple

Here is the situation as it stands at the end of Round II.

 

[Creamsteak]

"Is that all you've got Goblin? Come on, your pathetic. You think you can stand between me and that stone? Your kidding yourself. I'll let you give up if you want, just drop the crossbow and play dead, sickly little creature."

Animus is obviously thinking some very vulgar thoughts about how to tear this little Goblin Apart. Anyone that can see him can tell he's probably going to murder this thing if it doesn't play dead now. Obviously he isn't very good about his anger, and displaces pent up rage onto this little critter.

"Your blood will be spilled all over this floor momentarilly, abombination."

Animus eyes turn white, and his blueish hued skin starts to flicker in random colors. Animus silence is rather ironic, compared to his severely aggresive attitude. Attempting to make up for his silence with ferocity.

+7 to hit with flanking, 1d8+1d4+3 damage.

The Rest of the Group

As you go towards the trees where Jhessail had earlier indicated the temple was located, you can see a distant flash of purple...

Once you pass the line of trees, a huge stone, stepped pyramid stands before you, ivy and other growth covering it. The entrance is as tall as the yuan-ti, and isn't blocked - and you can see a shimmering of light within...

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

In the back of his mind, the gnome knows he might very well die this day, yet he continues on his attack upon the mage, hoping that luck is on his side. A drop of sweat crossing his face as he fires twice with his gun once again at the sorceror, the sound of gears churning and parts clicking together as it quickly reloads after each of his shots. Meanwhile, his golem presses on its attack, trying to connect its fist on the goblin.

(Niko fires 2 shots at Jirlai, attack bonus +6/+6, penetration 3 and 1d8+2 damage each, the golem attacks the goblin at +3/+3)

 

[Zhure]

Osius

"Hey! What was that?" Osius points at the flash of purple, glances around, then runs toward the source of the light.

 

[Jarval]

"That doesn't look good." Jansson drops Tori'shel's feet and runs towards the temple entrance, using burst to pick up his pace a bit. He pulls the pistol from his belt as he goes, readying himself for action.

Initiative: 2 (roll) + 7 = 9

Boy, am I glad I took the Improved Initiative feat!

 

[Dalamar]

"Where are the yuan-ti? Why isn't anybody doing anything?"
Syld manifests burst to speed up and sprints past the halfling.
Lookie at my speed! Base 30+10 (SoT)+10 (Burst) =50ft!! Now, let's run 4*50ft=200ft a round! Not bad for a creature the size of a child
Init 20 (!)+2 =22

 

[Hand of Vecna]

Nathan goes up to the temple, wondering where everyone is....

"My goodness!"

Initiative roll 10 + 2 = 12

Mainfests Disable via the Gem of Telepathy on Jirlai.

 

[Zhure]

Lookie at my speed! Base 30+10 (SoT)+10 (Burst) =50ft!! Now, let's run 4*50ft=200ft a round! Not bad for a creature the size of a child
Hah! Wait until Osius gets Skate (next). Until then he's going to Burst to 40.

Osius tries to keep up with Syld.

Initiative = 19 roll + 2 Dex = 21
