Ding! Basement: Household appliances, and...

Post by patransom »

Everyone takes their positions and Shareev begins to operate the lift. The lift descends slowly at first, then picks up speed. Aeless times his descent of the stairs to arrive at the bottom at about the same time.

The platform travels through 20 feet of what appears to be solid stone before descending through the ceiling of a new area. The room is well-lit by translucent panels in the ceiling and exactly the same size as the platform, so that the four corners of the lift are enclosed by walls. There are, however, large openings on all four sides. Once the lift has descended enough to gain clearance from the ceiling, you can make out the layout of this lower level…

Reaching the bottom of the stairs, those at the front of the group (Aeless and Thanis) can see something similar…
OUT OF CHARACTER
No one can see everything, but I’m showing it all on the map for expediency

 

The rooms to the west of the lift (including the room the stairs enter) are set up as barracks. Rows of wooden bunk bed line the walls. To the east is a narrow room with alcoves to the north and south. Built into the walls of the alcoves are two machines that look a bit like small versions of the haynoon you blew up on the tower outside. A corridor exits this room to the east, then takes a sharp turn to the south. Who knows what lies beyond?

The rooms immediately north and south of the lift each contain a jif. These jifs appear heavily damaged, with parts hanging off of them. The floors are dirty, covered with puddles of what looks like grease. Behind each jif crouch a number of Dudes! They open fire on both the platform and at Aeless as he reaches the bottom of the stairs.

READY ACTIONS

Dudes A and B fire supmayshinkuhn bursts at Brand. Both miss, thanks to the cover provided by the barrier you set up on the lift.

Dude C fires a burst that hits Esias [17 hp]

Dude F wears a large metal backpack with attached tube. A line of flame erupts from the tube, but passes harmlessly over Esias’ head.

Dude D fires a burst that catches Amon in several places. The boy cries out and collapses to the floor [16 hp, putting him at -4].

Dude L, with one of those strange, quiet long kuhns, shoots at Aeless. The projectile catches him in the shoulder [10 hp].

Dude E’s burst also hits Aeless [16 hp].

Dude G fires a burst that passes over the unconscious Amon and hits Brand in the back [20 hp]
OUT OF CHARACTER
Damage totals: Oldin 16, Aeless 10, Brand 20, Esias 17, Amon 16, Shareev 2

Some notes about position:
- The platform is still 10 feet off the ground of the new area. If Shareev continues to lower it, it will be flush with the floor at the start of Combat Round 2.

- Ruadhnait is not shown because she’s actually above Aeless on the spiral stairs. To descend, she would have to move as follows: O3 --> O2 --> P2 --> P3. Each square of movement on the stairs costs double. Similar movement rules would apply to Oldin and Leenah.

- From their current position on the stairs, only Thanis and Aeless have line of sight to the Dudes. Oldin, Leenah, and Ruadhnait do not.

- From his position, Thanis could jump off the side of the stairs to Q2 or Q3. This would count as 2 squares of movement, so would essentially be the same as moving through Aeless’s square.

Shareev, who apparently is the only one completely enclosed behind barriers and can only really see one or 2 dudes will continue to operate the lift to the bottom.

At hearing Amon cry out, Oldin rushes past his comrades in fury. He moves to Q6 and lets loose a fiery blast that should hit D, L, and the vehicle. These dudes have taken everything from him, and he is no longer thinking clearly. He doesn't even dodge if the dudes shoot back (his AC is 5, as an immobile object). His sole goal is to burn the life from the dudes until he is killed.

See above about moving on the stairs. Costs double. Oldin can't make it to Q6 and let off a fiery burst.

He makes it to Q6 and stands there, preparing to let loose a blast of fiery destruction at them. Or just gets gunned down. Essentially, he has nothing left to live for. If he survives, it reaffirms his faith in Seker. If he doesn't survive, he felt that Seker was abandoning him anyway.

COMBAT ROUND 1

Since she’s still far up the stairs, no one knows what Ruadhnait’s up to…

Leenah slips down the stairs past Thanis and Aeless and hides behind the edge of the wall.

Brand lets out a mighty shout, For Amon, death to the dudes! He steps out from behind cover and opens fire. Unfortunately, both of his shots miss. [I don’t know if it’s come up before, but the revolver is semiautomatic, so Brand can make a full attack with it. He gets two shots.] In spite of his bad aim, all the Dudes turn their full attention to him…

Thanis hits Dude 2, but the kel suit absorbs all the damage [terrible damage roll]. Thanis moves off the stairs and takes cover in the corner.

Aeless moves down and closer, his sword hefted out.

Esias lets fly an arrow that bounces off the jif between him and Dude F [just barely missed].

Amon bleeds [-5].

At hearing Amon cry out, Oldin rushes down the stairs in fury.

All of the Dudes take up Brand’s challenge… Thanks to him having still having cover from most of the Dudes and the protection of his kel suit, this isn’t nearly as bad as it could have been, of the 9 attacks aimed at him, only 3 of the supmayshinkuhn bursts and the line of flame hit. Still, Brand is riddled with bullets and slightly singed [a grand total of 39 hp damage].

The platform reaches the level of the floor and stops with a thump.
OUT OF CHARACTER

Continuing his plan, Oldin produces blast after blast of fire against the dudes, stepping closer to them each time, as if he wants to feel Seker's holy light for the last time.

Taking advantage of Brand's foolhardy valorous act, Esias scuttles to J12, drawing his last vial of cure light wounds potion as he moves, and administers it to the unconscious Amon.
OUT OF CHARACTER
That should be doable in one turn, and will stop the boy's bleeding.

 

If Amon recovers consciousness, Esias will sternly admonish him to Stay Down! before scrambling back to his firing position next round.

END OF COMBAT ROUND 1

Shareev starts up the vehicle next to him and manages to jam the controls so it will move backwards toward the Dudes. [It took you the full round to do that, so it will start moving next round]

COMBAT ROUND 2

Since she’s still far up the stairs, no one knows what Ruadhnait’s up to…

Leenah waits…

Brand drops his revolver and, drawing his sword, moves toward the Dudes. He finds the grease-covered floor slightly slippery, but manages not to fall on his way there [a successful balance check allows him to move at normal speed]. Die with honour Dude, he says, as his sword narrowly misses Dude A.

Thanis misses Dude D.

Aeless moves as far as he can, also managing not to slip on the greasy floor. His green ray connects with Dude E, draining some strength.

Esias steps close to Amon, pulls out a potion, and pours it down the boy’s throat. Amon coughs and regains consciousness. Esias says, firmly, Stay down!

Amon heeds Esias’ instructions and remains on the ground.

Oldin lets off a fiery burst that catches Dudes D, L, and the vehicle. The Dudes duck the worst of the blast, but are still singed.

Leenah now creeps around the corner to slash at Dude D with her short sword. She does some damage.

The Dudes are still concentrating on Brand. Those immediately next to him sling their guns and ready billy clubs. The other two on that end of the complex adjust their positions for better aim at him. A burst of bullets from Dude C misses Brand, but the line of flame from Dude F does not [7 hp].

Dude D, unable to safely shoot at Brand with Leenah right next to him, adjusts his position in an effort to get away from her and closer to Brand.

Dudes L, E, and G all fire at Brand, but are unable to hit him, thanks to the intervening cover and the melee between him and their allies. [The DM is slightly amazed that Brand has survived another round]

Ruadhnait suddenly comes whooping down the stairs to a position behind Dude D!
OUT OF CHARACTER
Damage totals: Oldin 16, Aeless 10, Brand 66, Esias 17, Amon 9, Shareev 2

A note about the greasy floor, now that you’ve seen two people walk across it: moving in the crosshatched areas of the map at full speed requires a balance check to avoid falling, but it’s only DC5. You can move at half speed without trouble.

Oldin makes a single move to T10 and lets another blast loose, this time at the corner of S11 and T12. Let Seker's holy flames consume you! By the power of the light, you will be purged.

END OF COMBAT ROUND 2

The aytheevee takes off backwards and slams into the parked jif with a thud. This doesn’t seem to do anything other than cosmetic damage to either vehicle.

Shareev steps into the space vacated by the little vehicle and fires his shotkuhn at Dude C. He misses.

COMBAT ROUND 3

Brand attacks Dude A, hitting once and doing a bit of damage.

Thanis walks up closer to Dude D before firing again. He still misses.

Aeless navigates the greasy floor to arrive in front of two of the Dudes. He attempts to bring his large weapon crashing down on one of them, but misses. [I believe 10 hp damage is correct for Aeless; Oldin gave everyone some healing before you all descended into the basement]

Esias moves past Shareev and is unhindered by the slippery floor. His arrow, however, misses Dude C.

Amon remains cowering behind the jif.

Oldin moves into the other room, also unhindered by the floor. Dude E avoids some of Oldin’s fiery burst, but Dude L catches the full effect.

Leenah smiles evilly as she takes advantage of Ruadhnait’s position and cuts Dude D down with her short sword. Figuring you have sufficient forces to handle the remaining Dudes on this end of the room, she begins moving toward the other side.

Dudes A and B adjust their positions around Brand and swing with their billy clubs, unsuccessfully.

Dude C reloads his weapon and moves closer to Brand as he fires a burst. Of the burst, only one bullet gets past Brand’s kel suit. [A terrible damage roll, plus the suit, means only 1 hp of damage to Brand]

Dude F releases a beam of fire that hits Brand and just narrowly misses Dude A. Brand falls to the floor. [9 hp fire damage puts Brand at –7]

With Brand down, Dude L shifts to his left and fires at Oldin. His first shot catches Oldin in the head, splattering his brains all over the already slippery floor [critical, 25 hp, puts Oldin at –14. Bad news.]

Dude L’s second shot goes at Ruadhnait, but misses.

Dude E backs away from Aeless and fires a burst that misses completely.

Dude G slings his kuhn as he steps away from Aeless and draws his billy club.

Ruadhnait howls as she closes with Dude L, stabbing him with her spear. [Ruadhnait is raging]
OUT OF CHARACTER
Damage totals: Oldin dead, Aeless 10, Brand 76, Esias 17, Amon 9, Shareev 2

With Oldin dead, it doesn't matter much, but I was having him move closer to the dudes. I had him at T12, not Q12. I had put him where L is now, although with L there, he would have moved to S12 instead. I guess it doesn't matter much now with him being dead, but the idea was he wanted to get closer to Seker's fire, assuming he was not going to survive the battle. He wanted to be as close to the fiery burst as possible. If he survived, he would eventually position the blast such that it burned him, as well, but again, that point is moot :-P

By the way, do you want to take over Ruadhnait or Leenah and continue in the game?
