Another Bloody Isekai IC: Team Raid Bosses

[Togo]

Tsu-Tse pauses for a moment, coordinating with Marambe. He has some hazy idea that the unmoved spoke should be moved at least once, before anything else.

Once he seems Marambe brace against the cealing, he too leans into the load, continuing to push his spoke around, faster and faster.

Spoiler: Actions

Wait for Marambe to move the southern spoke, then move my spoke as far as I can, using high strength, high speed, and the possibility of jumping as a swift action.

Strength check (1d20+23)[43]

[FearlessGnome]

Serafino flies into one of the golems, and immediately hears the angry wasps buzzing within. Then he makes Malog fly into one with... quite a lot more force. There's a very loud bang as the Dreg Knight, full plate and all, slams into the metal colossus, leaving a pretty sizeable, human shaped dent in it.

Marambe, with a display of physical prowess that would intimidate most athletes, flips upside down and braces himself against the ceiling and attempts to push the spokes forward. In doing so however part of his body enters the wall of fire - burning him for (2d6+15)[22] (-7 for Juggernaut). Unfortunately he isn't able to make much progress.

While he tries, however, he sees the the floor he just stood on burst into flame as well... except he doesn't feel the same blistering heat from this fire as he does from the Southern wall.

Tsu-Tze similarly presses on, making excellent progress, but though he braces himself and continues to turn the wheel even when he has to enter fire to do so, he too feels no heat from these flames.

The room is hot, especially near the lava pit, and Serafino could feel very real heat from those flames when he flew into the golem, but it would appear not all the fire is real.

While some of the fire appears to not have been real, things are still heating up. The two remaining golems release their deadly passengers, and both Malog and Marambe are attacked by golems. Every party member also faces their own swarm this turn. This... could get ugly.

Spoiler: So many attacks

Marambe is full attacked by a golem:
Attack: (1d20+23)[42]
Damage: (2d10+11)[18]

Attack: (1d20+23)[33]

Unlike Marambe and Serafino, however, he not quite immune to the wasps' poison (I think. Didn't see poison immunity on your sheet): (1d20+18)[30]

Serafino and Tsu-Tze are attacked by swarms, but no golems.
Serafino: (3d6)[6]
Tsu-Tze: (3d6)[4]
Fort save for Tsu-Tze: (1d20+16)[28]

Better news is that Malog's acid nimbus appears to affect both golems and swarms just fine.

[Anomander]

Serafino grins as the swarm comes out to, well, swarm him. He was much less happy to see the swarm come out to attack Tsu-Tse. The main goal here was to keep the dwarf and ape able to turn the spokes without problems.

Serafino lets out a Psionic Blast that hits the swarm around himself and the swarm bothering Tsu-Tse. It wouldn't keep them down for long, but every little bit would help.

"Keep turning guys!"

Then he flies back over to the golem next to Malog to do what he could to distract the golem from Malog. (B-11) He could help flank the golem, keeping at least a little of its attention on himself.

Again, he doesn't bother slowing down as he approaches the golem, smacking into it with his body.

"Hey there you ugly trash heap. Yo' mama was a toaster and your daddy was a fried sim-chip."

The golem wouldn't 'get' the words, but hopefully the bump and the words might get it to attack him rather than Malog.

Flying over to B-11.

He an Malog now count as flanking the golem and the swarm: +2 to attacks!
Also, Malog gets another +1 to his attacks from my aura.
Total of +3.

[Tyrann]

Despite the damage he's taking, Marambe just keeps on pushing.
Part of the damage heals back, but he's definitely a bit more dented now than he was 6 seconds ago.

But none of that matters. All that matters to the ape for now is that he gets a spoke over the lava.

More str checks!
This turn, Marambe is only pushing the spoke that was originally pointing South. I.e. the one that hasn't moved yet.

strength - (1d20+11)[28]

[Togo]

Tsu-Tse soliders on, ignoring the swarm. He keeps pushing trying to bring his spoke is back in it's original position. The room is far too hot, low-cealinged, cramped, and buzzing with unhygenic creatures, huge hulks with no personality, and things that aren't nearly as hot as they appear to be at first glance. So, a nightclub, basically.

As described. If nothing else, examine the spoke and the mechanism it is attached to.

For Malog, the moment is simple, as he grips his blade in both hands, and brings it down, humming a bad tune. Really, he was going to fight and the goblins are not there, so he was just going to hack and slash and chop and dice and blenderize!

Spoiler: Offense

Malog will full attack the Golem he was used as a weapon against.

Acid Nimbus (REF DC 23 Half); (3d6)[9] Acid

[FearlessGnome]

Serafino succeeds in stunning the swarm surrounding himself before moving, however the one attacking Tsu-Tze escapes the mental assult.

Malog tears into the golem - its metal frame makes it difficult to score a meaningful hit, but one of his two attacks succeed in doing some damage, and it doesn't seem as if the golem has any resistance against acid. Malog's nimbus also eats away at both golem and the swarm that is attacking him.

Marambe and Tsu-Tze both push on. The spokes move incredibly slowly. Marambe was able to put more strength into his pushing than during previous attempts, he is sure of it, but even so the spoke moved more slowly than he would have expected, and he only manages to make about five feet's worth of progress.

As for Tsu-Tze, despite his incredible strength, he wasn't quite able to use it as well as the last few turns, and he too makes only five feet's worth of progress. It does occur to him however that while the fire he is pushing through right now is illusory, the lava pit is likely not, and if he pushes ten more feet forward his spoke will be out over the pit, where he can't reach it from either side of the pit.

With the two of them pushing at the same time, it seems to Marambe that the harder one of them manages to push, the easier it gets for the other. While no spokes move without being manually pushed, they are definitely connected to some degree, and Tsu-Tze's momentary lapse immediately made itself felt in the form of more resistance for Marambe.

The swarm stunned by Serafino flutters in place. It isn't out of the game, but he definitely succeeded in temporarily disrupting the wasps.

Marambe:
Swarm attack: (3d6)[11]

Tsu-Tze:
Swarm attack: (3d6)[11]

Tsu-Tze too is being attacked by a Golem this turn, however as it had to move further to reach him it is not able to attack twice:
Attack roll: (1d20+23)[25]
Damage: (2d10+11)[17]


The golem being flanked by Serafino and Malog divides its attacks between them:
Attack against Serafino: (1d20+23)[42]
Damage: (2d10+11)[28]
Attack against Malog: (1d20+23)[29]
Damage: (2d10+11)[26]

The Southwest swarm, sensing Serafino's return, stretches to encompass both Malog and Serafino, attacking both:
Serafino takes (3d6)[12] damage.
Malog takes (3d6)[11] damage.

The experience of being swarmed by these awful wasps is nauseating, and Tsu-Tze and Malog are at risk of losing themselves to the sensation for a moment (Don't think you two are immune to nausea, do tell me if you are):
Malog's Fort save: (1d20+18)[24]
Tsu-Tze's Fort save: (1d20+13)[16] - that's a failed save.

The floor beneath Malog begins to sink.
Tsu-Tze is nauseated. This turn he is only able to take a single move action.

[Tyrann]

Marambe looks back and grimaces when he sees his new dwarven friend is clearly being affected by the swarm.

"If I go over the lava, both golems might go for Tsu-Tse. I'm going to try to take one out."

The giant ape attempts to hop off the spoke he was pushing and goes for a heavy tackle against the golem closest to him, pounding it as they go down.

Spoiler: Actions

Show

Grapple the golem in J11-K12

Marambe does not have improved grapple, so doing this provokes an AOO.
If he takes damage from an AOO, that attempt fails. But, he has several attacks per round and he only needs to land one touch hit (and then succeed a grapple check) so hopefully he can still get the grapple off.
For convenience, Marambe's normal AC is 32. Not sure what it would be on the spoke.

If Marambe is counted as squeezing for these attacks, power attack for 3.
If he isn't counted as squeezing, then power attack for 7.
Rolls below assume power attack for 7. If he is squeezing the attack rolls stay the same (-4 from squeezing, +4 from power attack for less), but -4 to damage rolls.
All of these attacks are adamantine.

Marambe heals for 7 hp with every successful damaging attack.

Serafino notices Tsu-Tse's suppressed retching and winces. Hard to focus on pushing things when guts were trying to force their way up through the throat! Hadn't mentioned something about a Balancing spell on a wand that could let him balance upside down or something? That might help him get out of the immediate effects of the wasps.

"Tsu-Tse, you said the Balancing spell might come in handy. Malog's melting things nicely here, I'll be right over."

Serafino flips and spins as he flies across the room, providing a harder target to anyone to take a swipe at. As he flies over, his mind races about where he noticed the dwarf keeping the wand, how to likely activate it, and how to lift it quickly enough to still have time to activate it. Inspiration hit him about half way across the room!

Spoiler: Inspired Actions

Inspired Perception to see/remember where on Tsu-Tse's body the Balancing Lorecall wand is located: (1d20+38)[40]

Use Magic Device (DC 20): +26 modifier means auto-pass

Serafino tumbles right into the middle of the swarm (J-8) and grabs the wand from Tsu-Tse, and quickly activates it on the Dwarf. He's pretty sure no one would have noticed the pick-pocket trick even if they hadn't been in the middle of a battle. He was pretty happy with it. Hopefully he'd be able to keep this swarm distracted for a while, too.

[Warmatt]

For his own part, Malog would be a very simple creature. His blade would lash out as he delivered massive chops, trying to tear into the golem, to render it to corroded sludge and melted scrap. It would look lovely with some rust, or some vines and roots growing from it...

Tsu-Tse, surrounded by golems, covered in flies, and approaching a pit of lava, suffers a sudden loss of enthusiasm for his spoke in favour of one that's a little less... busy. With a flip he somersaults through the air to land on the wheel itself, then keeps on dodging and weaving, trying to reach of an untended spoke.

[FearlessGnome]

The golem gets one jab in, but then Marambe succeeds in lunging himself at it into a grapple. He keeps trying to damage the thing, but it's hard to get a good strike in against an opponent that is this bloody hard (After the grapple is established, there are zero more hits). The golem is incapable of forming a mocking smile.

Tsu-Tze, through the haze of nausea, still manages to identify the best spoke to move on to. The spoke that started out facing South has only moved five feet in total, but thanks to that it is no longer stuck over the lava pit, and Tsu-Tze lands to the West of it.

The floor under Marambe sinks - he bashes away at the golem, but fails to hurt it much before stepping off the sinking floor panel at the last moment. It disappears into lava, and the heat radiating out of the pit is enough to convince him that it is real. His acid nimbus keeps eating away at both golem and swarm.

Fire purifies. He does not like fire, as he chops down at the Golem, blade trying to dig in, to melt and rust and corrode. Yeah, the swarm was annoying... but the golem hit harder and in order for the swarm to try and hurt him, it would need to be melted by him.

Serafino scans the battlefield. It was a big mass of chaos. Blah. The only thing that had been properly successful was Malog melting down his enemies into slime, but that was taking way too long. Well, something else had worked pretty well.

"Malog, you're about to make a big impact in that golem's life again; brace yourself!"

Serafino lets loose with his Telekinesis, once again using the undead creature as a battering ram against the golem.

Telekinesis to use its violent thrust with Malog as the payload: (12d6)[58]
Bashes the golem next to Malog. Malog doesn't change spaces.

Tsu-Tse had also moved to a spot next to a golem and it looked like he was still being affected by the swarms. His tumbling had been impressive and sufficient to avoid the backhand swipe the golem had tried to take. Still, if the golem connected with a pair of hits, it would seriously put a dent in the dwarf's day.

Serafino moves with a flying corkscrew next to the golem, smacking into it. (Serafino ends at G-9)

"Tsu-Tse, try another spot on the wheel away from this golem."

[Tyrann]

Marambe looks at his allies getting out of the way, and grins back at the non-grinning golem.
Suddenly, the heavy weight pressing down on the grappled golem vanishes. A split second later Marambe reappears 10 feet away, by the wall to the right.

The ape's eyes shift to trailing Akira red as he heavily kicks off the wall behind him, hurling himself onto the other golem - or the part of it he can see emerging from the darkness, anyway.

Rolling his eyes, Tsu-Tse moves again. This time he sways backwards, and then keeps falling, ducking under the spoke, before popping up on the other side of the spoke, and jumps onto the wheel, before making his swaying and weaving way over to the only spoke that doesn't have a golem near it.

Malog attacks the golem again, but its iron body deflects the blows. Turning into a telekinetic projectile, however, that seems to be quite effective. The ringing in his ears from the impact clears up almost immediately and his vision is basically clear. After his attacks, illusory flames appear in this square as well.

With an absolutely brutal display of force Marambe lunges at the Iron Golem. Its hard form deflects many of the attacks, but three get through and he causes some serious damage and manages to trip the thing.

Tsu-Tse, with the grace of dwarven kind (and a dash of magic), stands on the wheel housing, waiting for Marambe to take care of one of the golems and/or move away.

Serafino slams into another golem. It doesn't seem as surprised as most human warriors would be at the non-attack, but it does try to smack him.

Serafino waves his hand at the swarming wasps, mainly to clear his sight around himself. While they were stinging him, it would take them longer than he needed to worry about before they would cause him serious harm.

That punch from the golem, though - that would wear him down faster. Still, not something he had to worry about right now, though. Destroy at least one golem, and they could quickly destroy the other golems. The lumps of iron were ridiculously difficult to damage, though.

Serafino's eyes widen at Marambe's attack.

"Jovem testacles," he mutters in Latin. "Note to self: don't go toe-to-toe with the angry robot ape."

Tsu-Tse took a couple nasty hits, but the dwarf seemed to be ridiculously tough, shrugging off the swarm's effects. Serafino flipped and tumbled through the air (to I-11), giving the golem a bump. They seemed to be fairly dumb, swinging at whatever was nearby. Serafino would hopefully attract some of the attacks instead of Tsu-Tse as the dwarf continued turning the wheel.

"Malog, get ready to do your best impression of a battering ram with a giant sword again."

Malog, with a little help from Serafino, creates another beautiful imprint of himself in one of the golems. It looks like the older imprints are slowly being washed away by the fire the golem is standing in, but that's definitely happening slower than you are piling new damage on. Only... Hm, looks like the floor under Malog is sinking again.

Marambe, with an absolutely brutal display of raw physical prowess, continues to bite and slam and tear at the golem until the light in its eyes flickers out, the metal husk unable to sustain its magic in the face of such overwhelming damage. Only... hm. The floor underneath Marambe starts to sink - as does the floor where the golem collapsed.

Serafino slams into another golem - and gets smacked for his effort. They aren't weak opponents, but they are, it seems, very predictable.

"Looks like Marambe's found his groove."

Serafino sees Tsu-Tse slump over, face filled with frustration. He grabs the dwarf and takes off flying swooping over the giant wheel, dropping the dwarf on the wheel away from immediate threat (G-6) and then arcs back next to (F-9) the nearest golem, smacking into the golem at a full-speed, un-slowed clunk against the golem. They weren't the smartest enemies, and this seemed to work well enough to attract attacks.

Serafino shouts some quick orders.

"Malog, hit the swarms! Marambe can come over to attack the golems, but you're the only one who can attack the swarms! Feed them some acid!

"Marambe, these golems just said they banged your mother!"

Serafino manages to draw one of the attacks away from Malog.
Slam attack 1: (1d20+23)[27]
Damage: (2d10+11)[16]
Swarm attack: (3d6)[7]

Tsu-Tse:
One of the swarms manages to reach both Serafino and the dwarf.
Swarm attack: (3d6)[11]
And I guess the poison can technically keep stacking, increasing the amont of ability damage that needs to be healed. Fort save v poison:(1d20+13)[24] - pass.
Fort save v Nausea: (1d20+13)[25] - pass.

Marambe:
No golems left standing near Marambe, but two of the swarms try their darndest to wear him down.
Swarm attack: (3d6)[8]
Swarm attack: (3d6)[7]

The floor beneath Malog has sunk into the lava. He was too slow to step off the sinking block in time, and finds himself having to grab onto one of the surrounding tiles with his arms, and is hanging over the lava. The heat radiating up beneath him is very real, and it is scorching. If he were to fall in, bruised and injured as he is, there is a very real chance he will die.

Climbing back up is a Move action and requires a DC 10 Climb check. The first time a plate was sinking I reminded him to take that five foot step, but since it's the second time he missed the warning, I think a second's delay and having to grab a tile with his arms is justified.

The party may act. The floor beneath the second destroyed golem begins to sink, though the floor beneath Marambe does not. Malog is nauseated and hanging over lava. He is also really low on hp. This would be the time to coordinate carefully before you act.

"Oh slag it all," Serafino mutters as he dodges and shrugs off the clumsy swings of the golems and the attacks of the swarms.

"Up you go, Malog! Attack the swarms and remember to move to avoid the lava!"

With a violent telekinetic thrust, Serafino yanks Malog up from the pit, slanting the yank a little so the undead being would hit the ceiling in and fall onto a square that wasn't about to sink into lava (C-9).

He then tumbles through the air past the nearest golem and smacks into the southwestern golem, trying to attract all the attacks he can.

(tumble auto-succeeds to avoid AoO. Winds up in D-11.)

Marambe roars as the second golem goes down. Then barrels over the wheel towards the other two golems, throwing a flying hook against one of them as he jumps off.

Now, the thing is, if he was not feeling the various wasps and other life burrowing through him, he would indeed be swinging at the swarm... sadly, this would be one of the rare cases where he was unable to really do much, as nausea and pain ripped through him.
