Etzel Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 "A table controlling something? That sounds just crazy to me. Do you mean with magic is some way? Then it must be some sort of dark magic, even more reason to destroy it!"
JimBee Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Hybros had never seen such a piece of technology before. The device was puzzling. "Yes, we better take a look".
Sandy Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 "Yes, we better take a look". The party walks to the table, but they cannot make heads nor tails of it. There are buttons that can be pushed, and a panel of glass with an odd light inside. Wires run beneath the table, and the whole table emits a soft hum.
Etzel Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 The party walks to the table, but they cannot make heads nor tails of it. There are buttons that can be pushed, and a panel of glass with an odd light inside. Wires run beneath the table, and the whole table emits a soft hum. "Clearly a piece of evil magic! I volunteer to smash it with my mace!"
Khorne Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 "Let Hybros try pressing the buttons first, Cleric, we'll see what happens. If nothing happens, you can smash it to smithereens. Any suggestions for our next course of action? I say we check out the locked door and see where it leads to."
Sandy Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 Hybros pushes the buttons on the console randomly, and suddenly the humming turns into a buzz and lights start to flicker. The heroes hear rhythmic clanks approaching from further down the hall. Four of the automatons that the Tritech engineers were working on appear to the room. All four metallic men speak in unison.

Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone have acted.
JimBee Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 "Er... sorry everyone. I don't really think this battle is worth fighting, seeing how powerful the enemies are. I think we should use a smoke bomb."
Etzel Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 "Evil machines! I knew we should have smashed that table! But if we throw all our Lightning bombs we can reduce their health to half. I think we have a good chance of destroying these abnormalities. I can put one of them to stand-by sleep with my scroll so it can't attack us for a few rounds as well." Maurice prepares to cast a Spell of Sleep on Tritech Automaton Alpha from the back row.
ADHO15 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 "If we do decide to begin the battle, I shall attack C-3PO Tritech Automaton Beta with Lightning Bomb from the back row."
JimBee Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Seeing his allies confident, Hybros decided to trust their instincts for now. Before Heroica, he would've just fled but now... he was part of a team. He didn't like it, but he had to act based other's feelings. "Alright then I will attack Automaton Gamma with a Lightning Bomb from the back row."
Khorne Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Eric's face turned sour at the sight of the automatons. These wicked machinations should be destroyed, taken apart that not a single cog would remain. Only the gods should have the power to create life. Life and Death is in the hands of deities, and should be kept out of the hands of Man. As luck hadn't been on his side using the Twin Axe, Eric decided to drew his old companion Godricsleif. The blade hummed and whailed quietly. Eric will attack Automaton Delta from the first row. Battle order: Hybros Ad-Hoh Maurice Christopher Eric Erdathcath
JimBee Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 "Eric, if you put Maurice in that order our bombs will wake up Alpha."
Khorne Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 "Eric, if you put Maurice in that order our bombs will wake up Alpha." "How will the bombs wake up the automaton, Maurice will enchant the robot after you throw your bombs" the Nord said confused, "do you reckon Maurice should attack first or last then?"
JimBee Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 "If Erdathcath throws her lightning bomb, it will wake Alpha up. So yes, I think Maurice should go last."
Khorne Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 "I hadn't taken the fact that Erdathcath would throw a bomb too in account. Smart thinking, Hybros" Eric complimented his friend. Inside Eric was still confused, not about why Maurice should go last, but how the Nord had gotten to be who he is right now. He had made many mistakes as party leader during this Quest already, even though he had been an experienced leader back in the old days. He had led more than one Viking raid or attack, all of which ended favourably thus adding to the myth that he actually was blessed by the gods. Eric had never felt more insecure than now, but his weakness should not be shown to the outside. The warrior remained cold and serious on the outside, but inside problems were heating up. Right now, his task was to lead this party to a succes. Eric would do so, or die trying. There is no other way, only victory or death can set him free. Battle order: Hybros Lightning bomb Ad-Hoh Lightning bomb Erdathcath Lightning bomb Eric Godricsleif Christopher Normal attack ?? Maurice Sleeping spell
Fred Fred Burger Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I will attack Automaton Beta from the front row.
The_Customizer Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I agree, I shall throw a lightning bomb at Automaton Beta, from the back row. But since none of us are actually attacking them, won't they get a bunch of free hits?

But since none of us are actually attacking them, won't they get a bunch of free hits? "With the current actions, Automaton Gamma will get a free hit on Hybros, but since he is standing in the back row he will be fine (10 damage)."
JimBee Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 "The bombs target all enemies, so no free hits will occur."
Etzel Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 "The bombs target all enemies, so no free hits will occur." "No, they don't work like that. They will damage all enemies but it doesn't count as targeting them. So therefore you will get hit I'm afraid, Hybros."
Sandy Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Results of Round One of the Automaton Battle: >Hybros uses Lightning Bomb >Ad-Hoh uses Lightning Bomb >Erdathcath uses Lightning Bomb Eric vs. Automaton Delta - Damage Christopher vs. Automaton Beta - Critical Hit >Maurice uses Scroll of Sleep on Automaton Alpha Tritech Automaton Gamma - Free Hit against Hybros At the start of the battle Hybros, Ad-Hoh and Erdathcath all throw their Lightning Bombs at the automatons, all causing a total of 30 damage to each of the metallic men. The fourth automaton attacks Eric for 20 damage. Christopher gets a great hit on Automaton Beta, causing 27 damage to it. Maurice puts the first automaton to sleep at the cost of one ether. The third automaton was not targetted directly so it's free to attack Hybros for 10 damage. All enemies still remain.

Etzel Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 "That was a nasty hit you took, Eric! I will heal you from the back row."
ADHO15 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 "So will bombs wake the sleeping automaton by causing damage, or not if we do not target it directly?"
Etzel Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 "So will bombs wake the sleeping automaton by causing damage, or not if we do not target it directly?" "Bombs will wake it up, so I think we should save our bombs for the moment."
