Orrin: This is ridiculous. Orrin: 5#1d20+4 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+4: [1] = 5; 1d20+4: [4] = 8; 1d20+4: [16] = 20; 1d20+4: [5] = 9; 1d20+4: [6] = 10 Orrin: There, fuck those runes. Varus: ONE Varus: WAS OVER 10 Igfig: but if you do spend the time to take 20, you're probably going to attract an encounter of some sort Igfig: okay Varus: lets not do that Igfig: so most of your hits do nothing Varus: he finally fucked a rune Varus: good riddance Arryn: i am guarding the door Varus: sloppy sevenths Igfig: one hit does manage a good slam on a lump Igfig: and while the runes don't get messed up much, you do manage to crumple the thinner metal of the exterior of the lump Varus: fucking runes Igfig: you hear something shatter inside it Varus: GOOD Orrin: Done broke me shard. Orrin: me a shard* Arryn: broke me hard Varus: that probably wont be enough to catastrophicably unstabalize it Varus: so lets warp another one with the water Orrin: Well, if it's going to like... hurt one of us very badly, at least we'll know about it now. Varus: that is also true Varus: blaze can you go get us a bucket of water Igfig: the wall/sphere of fire shivers and starts to fluctuate weirdly, but it's still mostly working Orrin: I still feel like you're drastically underestimating how much water it takes to warp cast iron. Blaze: Are there any things capable of holding water around? We probably are. Varus: like a bucket ish right Varus: thats not much Varus: if its SUPER HOT Orrin: It's a furnace. Varus: its not like we need a river Igfig: not really, but you could probably find a bucket or something if you looked around for a bit Orrin: It is designed to be SUPER HOT Varus: then maybe orrin should fuck up another rune Orrin: Unless you have some absolute zero water just chillin'. Blaze: Or I can use create water and create up to 10 gallons of water. Varus: hey hey Varus: thats an idea Blaze: I think 10 gallons would be enough. Orrin: 1d20+4 Eighth time's a charm Fortuna: Orrin, Eighth time's a charm: [4] = 8 Varus: i have ice shot as a cantrip Igfig: or maybe there's other useful stuff around somewhere else, it's a big fortress Orrin: It's not about volume so much as temperature. Varus: fill a thing with water Varus: i ice shot the water to freeze it up Igfig: orrin is getting pretty tired of hitting these lumps Orrin: Since we can't flood the entire room, we need some REALLY cold water. Blaze: I'm assuming if I create water I can make sure it is cold. Igfig: and ten gallons is probably not enough, it's a big furnace Orrin: Why not just ice shot the rune? Varus: and then we dump it on another lump Varus: oh Varus: right Varus: thats Varus: probably a better idea Varus: so yeah Varus: i uh Varus: ice shot a rune Blaze: Man we're good. Igfig: ice shot? Like, ray of frost? Varus: yeah Varus: cantrips 4 lyfe Orrin: In the rest of our defense, it took me about 4 seconds to suggest it once we were aware he had prepared it. Varus: and i Varus: for the FIRST TIME Varus: EVER Varus: SONG OF THE SORCELATOR Varus: two ice shots at the run Varus: rune Igfig: okay make some attck rolls Varus: 2#1d20+6 Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+6: [6] = 12; 1d20+6: [9] = 15 Varus: its not like im trying to aim here Orrin: Hey you know what's funny is I was supposed to get +7 on all those attack rolls but I forgot they weren't just checks. Varus: they are a foot unmoving in front of me Igfig: getting kinda frosty on the outside, but there's a lot more heat comng from the inside Arryn: hahaha Varus: man we suck at this orrin Orrin: 1d20+7 actually attack a rune Fortuna: Orrin, actually attack a rune: [15] = 22 Orrin: There's more like it. Igfig: aw yeah Varus: since they are cantrips can i just keep slamming a rune Igfig: you can, yes Varus: 5#1d20+6 i <3 runes Fortuna: Varus, i <3 runes: [8] = 14; i <3 runes: [20] = 26; i <3 runes: [8] = 14; i <3 runes: [7] = 13; i <3 runes: [9] = 15 Varus: 20 Igfig: which one did you slam, Orrin? Varus: I SEE A TWENTY IN THERE Arryn guards whiled they die in a fire Varus: if we're trying to destabilize Varus: we did a 45 degree Varus: im doing the other 45 degree Orrin: One adjacent to the one I hit before, I assume. Varus: and so lets break the front 90 degree one Orrin: To build a breach. Varus: we're trying to unbind it Arryn: what is blaze doing Igfig: okay Varus: sighing Orrin: Right, so we punch a hole in it and it bows out. Orrin: This really should be his jam. Orrin: Playing with fire and all that. Varus: ok lets break 3 beside each other then Varus: 2 runes broken and 1 warp one like crazy with a 20 on my ice Igfig: so you've broken three of the nodes in a row next to each other Varus: yeah Igfig: on the front or the back? Igfig: or side or wherever Varus: front sounds best Varus: I <3 fronts Orrin: Whichever end faces the rear of the ship, I should think. Orrin: If we want it to blow the back off. Varus: well Varus: that is true Varus: and we dont want it to explode AT us Varus: so we break the ones away from us Igfig: The front of the furnace faces the back of the ship Igfig: er, fortress Orrin: Front then. Varus: whichevers away from us Igfig: all right Varus: fronnt Igfig: well Igfig: it doesn't cause a catastrophic blowout, quite Varus: we could do some more Varus: fuck up more runes Varus: orrin has a lot of anger to let out Igfig: but the wall of fire does destabilise Orrin: Let's see what happened first. Igfig: the part of it around where you broke the runes and shards tries to return to its natural, more cylindrical shape Varus: oooh Varus: blaze check it out Varus: fire going HAYWIRE Varus: this is so your thing Blaze: Alrighty. Blaze: 1d20+2 Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20+2: [17] = 19 Blaze: Much better this time. Igfig: which unfortunately for it, means its trying to poke through the side of the furnace now Varus: wait what did you roll Arryn: checking out Blaze: Arcana to check it out. Orrin: We should run. Varus: oh Igfig: so the wall is overlapping the furnace itself Varus: good idea yeah Arryn: he checks that shit like what Varus: oh Varus: that might break stuff Orrin: Hence the running. Varus: lets make sure first Arryn: i ran before it was hot Igfig: and you can see that slowly, a large circle of metal on the side of the furnace is starting to heat up and glow Orrin: I suspect that it will be too late if we "make sure" from inside the room we're trying to destroy in a fiery cataclysm. Igfig: just the outline of the circle Varus: im gunnnaaaa Varus: add a LITTLE more UNF to it Orrin: "Let's go, gang." Igfig: it's going to take a while at this rate, maybe ten minutes Varus: can i put one of my elementals in Varus: and cast thunderwave from it Igfig: sure Igfig: no Varus: aw Varus: ok well Igfig: it's an elemental, not a familiar Varus: i DO have my elementals go in Blaze: Ten minutes gives us time to get away from it and somewhere where it will distract them away from us. Varus: and they help out burning through it Varus: yeah Igfig: sure Blaze: Leave it as is, time bomb, yar. Varus: so maybe thatd be better Varus: lets head out Varus: time bomb Varus: i dont do anything with the elementals Igfig: all right Varus: i say my heartfelt goodbye Blaze: STealthy times ahoy! Varus: and leave them behind Blaze: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20+10: [17] = 27 Varus: dang Blaze: Ah yeah. Varus: d a n g Arryn looks out door i was guarding Varus: varus cant find blaze Orrin: I don't suppose we have any idea where the engines would be. Igfig: as you regroup to head out Varus: so we have a time bomb Igfig: perception checks Arryn: 1d20+19 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+19: [20] = 39 Varus: an engine to explode Arryn: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT Orrin: 1d20 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20: [20] = 20 Varus: what the fuck was that 19 Blaze: Arryn is freaking invisible. Varus: JESUS Orrin: Arryn disappears entirely. Igfig: well Arryn is invisible Varus: SLOW DOWN GUYS Orrin: Orrin sees all. Blaze: You get a +10 Orrin not that it matters. Varus: 1d20 Fortuna: Varus, 1d20: [1] = 1 Orrin: No that was my perception. Varus: :( Igfig: and the rest of you are not too far off Blaze: Oh. Orrin: Varus is still looking at the furnace I guess. Igfig: oh Orrin: Ig, my perception was a 20, do I perceive that secrets that bind this world together? Igfig: nah, but you do hear the patrol coming a ways off Varus: aah Varus: good Varus: hmm Varus: actually Varus: we dont want them checking the furnace Varus: we need to ambush them Arryn: where is arryn Varus: gone from this plane of existence Arryn: nobody knows Igfig: nobody knows Igfig: hah Arryn: ^5 Igfig: you're not sure if it's a random patrol or if they just heard you hitting the furnae Varus: not even arryn is sure where she is Igfig: ^5 Orrin: Arryn, go see if you can find them. Arryn: /spoooky/ Orrin: If they're moving quickly, we have to kill them. Varus: yeah lets send arryn ahead to scout Orrin: If they're just patrolling, we could probably just shut the door. Varus: that is true Varus: and the burning part is away from the door Varus: so they wouldnt see it unless they deliberately looked for a problem Blaze: Like, I'm well hidden, Arryn is invisible. Orrin: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+10: [14] = 24 Orrin: Orrin is also pretty well concealed. Arryn ghost looks throughdoor Varus: i can cast invisibility on myself Varus: arryn just go right up to them Blaze: You also have a +10 to your stealth right now. Orrin: Save it for now, just use the stealth bonus. Orrin: We might need it laster. Orrin: later* Igfig: okay, they're still a ways off. But you can see a few regular Blades, as well as a pair of the big, gorilla-looking warforged Igfig: just how many will depend on me checking the encounter builder for level-appropriateness Igfig: they are moving with confidence directly toward the furnace room Igfig: and they look ready for a fight Orrin: Varus, roll your stealth. Varus: oh boy Orrin: I like the sound of a surprise round. Arryn: he rolled a 1 Varus: i roll INVISIBILITY Varus: that was my perception Orrin: I thought that was his perception. Igfig: I thought the 1 was perception Arryn: ah Varus: also i cast invisibility Igfig: kay Arryn quit. Varus: fuckin cya Blaze: Just roll the stealth, yar, no need to waste another spell slot. Varus: im gunna fuck up Igfig: Since this is a new encounter, and potentially a fight Varus: if i roll this im gunna fuck up blaze Arryn joined #pwot_dnd. Orrin: Just fuck up an dthen cast invis. Blaze: Nuh uh. Orrin: We have plenty of time. Varus: ahghgughs Varus: ok Varus: ok Varus: here comes Igfig: perhaps we should leave off here and continue next week Orrin: I rolled a 20 on the per, they're probably a mile away. Varus: stealth instead of invisibility Varus: yeah Varus: write down our things ig Orrin: But yeah we should leave with us surrounding them, invisible. Varus: 1d20 sTEALLTTHH Fortuna: Varus, sTEALLTTHH: [20] = 20 Orrin: HAaaaaaa. Varus: YEAAASSSSS Arryn: woooo Blaze: See, and with a +10. Blaze: No need for stealth at all. Blaze: I mean invisibility. Igfig: you abominable stealthfuckers Varus: so orrin varus blaze and arryn are just fucking gone Varus: hidden Igfig: did anyone roll less than like a 25 on that Varus: no Blaze: Nope. Arryn: no Orrin: I rolled a 24. Blaze: Oh. Varus: oh well screw you Igfig: oh noooo Arryn: 39, motherfuckers Varus: so Blaze: I thought I was lowest with the 27. Orrin: But I mean... that still passes an extremely hard DC. Varus: for igfig's records for next week Igfig: you're not quite "superhumanly difficult to find" Varus: we have a ten minute time bomb Igfig: indeed Varus: a patrol of warforged coming to fight Orrin: And we're just standing int he middle of the hallway invisible waiting to fuck them up. Igfig: yep Varus: arryn orrin varus and blaze are hidden like a mother fucker Varus: no guys lets get a better ambush point Igfig: sounds like a recipe for good times Varus: catch them in a cross fire when they enter Orrin: I wanna drop from the ceiling. Arryn: i am an ambush point Varus: orrin can do that Varus: lets silence them all at once Igfig: okay you can think about a better ambush setup next week Blaze: Or we can go for the engines, yar, and avoid them, either way. Orrin: Oooh I like the sound of that. Igfig: for now I want to go to bed Arryn: i can stand where i am in the door and they wont see me Varus: no theyll stop the explosion Igfig: Good night everybody! Varus: we are definitely stoppping them Orrin: Well, I think we want to kill them so they don't fix the furnace yeah. Varus: FOR NOW THOUGH Igfig: Fortuna, I love you. Fortuna giggles. Blaze: Can they stop the explosion though? Orrin: I'd rather not find out. Varus: Fortuna do I love you more? Fortuna blushes. Fortuna: Maybe. Igfig quit. Orrin: OKAY BYE. Varus: yeah let sjust end them Arryn quit. Orrin quit. Blaze quit.
