To Con the Con-man

[HolyMan]

OOC: Was thinking of Hera and her 2d6+4 dmg but that was a solid hit HB no disable attempt allowed sorry Axel this is a brute force play

The group keeps the pressure up against the mephits, while Tio takes out his crowbar and starts to dismantle the device.

A good strike on one of the spinning arms and it starts to wobble. As it collides with another moving piece it breaks off falling to the floor. The mephit's screech and as one breaths a cloud of ash and smoke at Hera the other moves around to stop Tio from wrecking the machine.

Alden watched Tio's blow come crashing down on the spinning ring...thing. The size of the dent Tio produced relative to the minor scratch he had managed drew attention to Tio's bulging biceps, which Alden hadn't noticed before. More than a little envious, he encouraged Tio, "Aye, you're goin'ta destroy th'demon machine. 'f tha's beat'ful t'you, then yer a strange 'un Tio."

Spotting the demons' reactions to the two men's efforts only firmed Alden's opinion that they were somehow linked to the device. Remove the device, remove the demons. "Smash t'rings ya stup'd nuggets!" he yelled at the other two, who didn't seem to have made the connection yet.

Realising his most useful role would be to give Tio more time to wreck the rings, he sighed and dived into combat with the demon behind Tio. "Jus' keep goin' mate. I'll hold't off."

"To be fair, this is all YOUR fault," Tio snaps at the Mephit.

OOC: Whacky Whacky at the machine.

: ...Hera is forcefully struck by the monsters breath attack and becomes temporarily blinded by it's affects. She curses the creature underneath her breath and dives forward with her sharp blade in an attempt to kill it. However the creatures seems to have total concealment against her vision and there is a high probability that her attack will miss.

...Remarkably, her attack is surprisingly effective against the fiendish monster. Even blinded as she is, Hera knows she hit her mark. Though she is also very aware that she now faces the danger of counter-attack in her weakened state.

.

ooc: takes 3 damage and blinded on the monsters turn. blinded status: -2 Ac, -1 Ac Dex, -4 Search, -4 Str/Dex checks, 1/2 Speed, auto visual checks fail, 50% miss chance. attack: standard action. current HP 8. current AC 11.

OoC: Sorry about vanishing but I'm still not out of stat so I may be extra sluggish for a few days still ^_^;

Alexander noticed that while he and the woman were the immediate threat to the two, things, they both seemed far more interested in the easily distanced duo while they shouted to each other and smashed at something...

'What are they...' Alexander thought before hearing a metallic "tink" and then a "tonk" blood strained from his face; they had no idea of weather or not the explosion happened because of the half-elf tinkering with the device while it was in operation or not, and these two were trying to destroy it... During operation.

Alexander did not feel safe.

He grumbled and charged forwards, given their early manner the would not heed his warnings and he loathed cowering; if the two had any ears left to chew, they would not for long once it was over.

He thrusted at the nearest foe.

 

[Herobizkit]

"The HELL are you doing, man?!" Tio yells to Alexander, "Aren't you a sorcerer? Use your magic on this contraption already!"

 

[Axel]

If Alden hadn't been in such a tight spot he would've laughed at Tio's comments. I never even heard of a wizard who hates using magic so much as this fool!

Instead, all he managed to gasp out between ducking and weaving was, "His....magic....only......for show...."

 

[HolyMan]

OOC: Sorry EnWorld wouldn't let me on last nite.

The mephit fighting Hera withdraws into the air and towards the smoke. When it reaches the bellowing smoke it sighs in relief as it wounds start to heal.

The other mephit attacks the amazon in a flurry of claws. Blinded her armor protects her from all but minor scratches.

[sblock=OoC] a turn/round/thing is about 6 seconds long. How many sentances can be squized into 6 seconds while taking the 1 second to understand what the last guy said without exeeding 6 seconds[/sblock]

Alexander took the brifest of oportunites to step back andrebutal the two fools. "Foolishnes! We don't even know what that thing dos or what caused the earlyer explosion and you're both hacking away maddly!" Alexander rebutteled with annoyance before turning his gaze brifly to the foulable duo and spoke with furry in his voic and an inforno in his eyes. "Were is the half-elf we're here for and what do you think caused that explsion?!? What do you think would happen if I flung raw mana into a damaged device of arcane origen?
Predicable results!?!" he roared

OoC: Actions, 5 step back and standered action for speach; Alexander dos not say 'just a few things' when he is annoyed

 

[Herobizkit]

"Here's a predictable result," Tio snarls back, "I break this and it stops working. Then YOU'RE next!"

Tio points at the Mephit who is enjoying a healing smoke-bath and yells, "Quit your yammering and GET THAT MEFFIT!"
