"OLD MACHINES PREDICTABLE. UNFORTUNATE. YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE COVER."

Chelchis prepares to Blink, while also trying to break the machine's line of sight on her.

Merit: 0 (2 gained total)

HP: 30

Shields: 22

Minions: 5
Moves: Equal to your Dex, divided by the average dex of this encounter, calculated at the beginning of combat. Minimum 1.
Stats:

Essence: 5
Constitution: 5
Dexterity: 3
Intelligence: 4
Strength: 3
Synergy: 1

Perks:

Ruins of Utopia: This character takes no penalties for using substandard crafting materials.
Captain's Guard: This character has a persistent, regenerating shield that has health equal to 75% of their normal maximum HP, which refreshes after not taking damage for a turn, and takes double damage from electrical attacks. It does not benefit from other damage reduction effects.
Kratocrat: This character has minion points equal to their ESS. A minion point may be spent to perform a Minion Action. This can also be targeted by enemies; upon attacking the Minion Pool successfully, one minion point is lost.
Flaw: Etheric Life: This character must consume any magic that seems to be available for consumption, and suffers GM-determined penalties for attempting to not do so.

Schemes:

Test of Strength: Cannot use minion points at all this plot.

Actions:

Blink: Chelchis teleports a short distance, dodging the next incoming attack. (This buff lasts indefinitely.) 1 turn cooldown.

Spider Climb: If Chelchis has at least two limbs free, she can climb on walls without further penalty.

Fire Support: Chelchis spends a number of minion points to execute attacks for her as a free action once per turn. This action has varying effects per level, and any level can be freely used.

-Dreg Rush (Level 1): Chelchis spends a single minion point to call a squad of Dregs armed with shock knives, which deal 1d4 damage to up to three targets. This automatically intercepts the first attack made on Chelchis this turn, and this turn only. Dregs deal Slashing/Cutting and Electrical damage.

-Wire Snipers (Level 2): Spending two minion points, Chelchis calls in sniper fire for 3d6 damage to a single target. These snipers deal Piercing (HV) and Electrical damage.

Four Arms: This passive grants two action slots for equipment only.

Equipment:

Scrap Cannon: Deals 1d6+STR damage. Halved damage against targets considered far away. This weapon negates one stun per encounter due to reduced, easy reloads. Deals Piercing (HV) and Heat damage. Currently in the hands of a human that will regret taking it.

MG3200: A standard Militech lightweight machinegun. Deal 2d4+[Dex] High Velocity damage ignoring 3 points of Res.

Shock Pistol: A common weapon spotted amongst Fallen, often used by Dregs primarily but also used as a sidearm by their upper ranks. Deals 1d6+DEX heat (surface) and electrical damage. Rolls to craft with this weapon incur disadvantage.

Fallen Captain Armor: Grants 10 damage reduction against Piercing damage.

Shield Capacitor: Can be used to instantly regenerate shields. 5 turn cooldown.

Evelyn

Once inside, Evelyn walks forward, glancing around the tank and keeping a hand on her sword. The body seemed to be a simple snack one of the mutants were having, nothing more. The rubble however... It seemed that some of the mutants had decided to move it... for whatever reason. It was strange, but investigation worthy. So, Evelyn took a look around the tank, specifically checking for anything on the corpse.

Vratislav wanders around looking for anything of interest. A familiar warbling sound can be heard as he approaches one end of the chamber, as he taps on of the walls with his pole the thin facade of brick crumbles inward and his pole is wrenched out of his hand. The Teleglitch devours most of the wall he tapped in a chain reaction.

[23]

Evelyn pats down the corpse and finds a small pieces of strange material, it's slightly shiny and has the words "Security Keycard" printed on the side.

The Imp Vanguard disappears into a puff of black smoke and energy.

Hirata's blunderbuss blast ricochets around the room impacting the two smaller Imps with little notable effect.

The first Black Imp teleports behind Yvette and Jezzabella quickly slashing them each for 7 and 0 damage.

The second teleports behind Hirata and slashes for 10 damage.

[30] Itchi grabs the lid of one of the boxes they recently opened and hits the Imp for 5 damage.

Yvette equips protection while Jezzabella tries to attack the Vanguard only for it to disappear, it rematerializes behind her and swipes for 12 damage, a strange poison from the strike burns Jezzabella.

Shamhat attacks, but her pounding headache doesn't help for focus(1 proc). She deals 14 and 10 damage as the Imp flickers in and out of existence.

”AH! Damn it all!” Truth be told, Yoko was far more irritated with the fact that she had missed than she actually was with getting shot. ”Looks like I overcommitted with that one. That’s a shame, it would have been great.”

Yoko shrugged and then came at the Midget Scav again, swinging with less force... but still quite forcefully.

Yoko uses Hands of Stone on the Midget Scav, 3d6+STR (6) damage!

Spoiler

Hands of Stone (Level 2): Yoko performs a punch from the Dragon Clan's Kaze-do martial art, a quick and precise punch... but with her own strength, martial skill, and Hitomi values of violence instead of Togashi Kaze's philosophy of non-lethality... it's a brutal blow. Yoko deals 3d6+Str damage to an opponent.

Level 2: Damage upgraded from 2d6+STR to 3d6+STR

Violence, One on One (Level 2): Perhaps there's a more poetic term for this, and if you asked Yoko she would surely know it, but at the core what this is is a grapple, engaging in very close combat with an opponent. Yoko applies the "Grappled" status to her opponent and the "Grappling" status to herself if she wins a DEX check, forcing the enemy to only be able to target her (and forcing Yoko only to be able to target the grappled enemy or herself) unless the enemy spends an action to free themselves and wins a DEX check.

Level 2: Yoko can still target herself when grappling.

Move with Air (Level 2): Yoko draws upon her Air ring, honed by her training in the kikage zumi order, and puts her reflexes to use in dodging incoming blows. Yoko has a 10% chance to dodge incoming attacks.

Level 2: Dodge chance increased from 5% to 10%.

Simple Monk's Clothing: An extraordinarily simple set of monk's clothing, and nearly all Yoko will ever have on her at any given time, a set of loose and flowing green pants, and a white sarashi. These aren't anything special, particularly, but they ARE strategically chosen to work well with Yoko's tattoos and to afford her an excellent range of movement. +2 Dex.

Spiritual Resistance: Yoko attempts to make her body more resistant to poisons by shifting their effect from her Earth to her Void, an area of her soul she is far more aware of and skilled with. Of course, even this is far from fully reliable, as this kind of thing is only common among very specifically trained monks and bushi of schools and orders Yoko is not part of. Yoko may choose to use her Ess in place of her Con when attempting to resist poisons

"Pesky things." Yvette said as she hit "Lets see how you like this then." She as she weaved another spell hoping she could take one of the enemies out of the fight. Jezzabella glared the the leader imp rushed it with the pointy bit on the gun swinging in a wide arch.

Yvette tries to BIND Black Imp B into her service.

Spoiler

Bindings of the Beast: Do to dabbling in the arts of demon and devil summoning she knows how to bind such creatures to her service. Yvette has bindings equal to her Int*2. Each creature has a binding value based on its "Type" well normally this would be based on their level of demon or devil (aka a low-class devil like an imp would have a cost of 1) but due to there nature such creatures could have a variable cost due to other factors.

Demons and Devils are separated into three main types Strong, Smart and Pure. Strong are physically powerful one who main stat is Synergy. Smart ones are well smart their main stat is Intelligence. Pure ones are ones of pure emotions and their main stat is Essence. Yvette cannot bind demons if their main stat is higher then her stat of the same type.

Jezzabella use Cleave with the pointy bit of the gun ON the Imp Vanguard and Black Imp A. Dealing 1d4+str damage to both.

Primary Landing Bay:

Ess check: 17 vs 17

Morp sneaks around to try and steal a piece of something from the robot, he manages to tear out some wires and odd looking metal.

(Gain 1 "Wires" and 2 "Flux Rod")

Chelchis prepares her Blink and moves to a place the Welder will have more trouble getting to her.

It can be heard humming more loudly as it approaches Roy, it doesn't do anything yet though.

Roy fires his Bioelectric Pulse cannon at the robot, it takes 8 damage and [Con 28 vs 16] it begins shorting out, Roy seems to have fried its main computer system.

Very quickly feint wisps of smoke start rising up from it's shielding and the humming stops.

Everyone gains 1 Merit for shear, dumb, luck.

Personnel Quarters:

Con saves: 10 vs 25, 14 vs 14, 20 vs 15, 9 vs 25,

Yoko and the Midget each gain a Toxic gas stack.

The Scav recovers from his embarrassing position long enough to fire another laser at Yoko for 11 damage.

No one here seems to be paying Lakia any mind, at least not anymore that's for sure.

With 20 damage even Yoko crushes the Midget's ribcage just as he's trying to stand again, he won't be making it.

This time instead of armor cracking it's bones breaking and organs popping. With another 13 damage the second Scav is incapacitated.

Init:

Spoiler

2 Merit to Yoko and Dealift,

Scav Laser: Fires a beam of fiery energy that deals 1d3+[Dex] fire damage, for each consecutive round it's fired the number of dice doubles up to 8d3. Using this weapon multiple times in one round does not increase the bonus.

Sad Scattergun: Deals 1d6+[Str] High Velocity damage. Stuns the user after use if they have less than 6 Strength.

Oz Kit(x2): Provides a short supply of oxygen and limited environmental protection.

DragonRage · October 1, 2018

Seeing that one side has triumphed with relative ease, Lakia decides to walk out into the open as if she just got here (she gets a 10% bonus to checks to con people if Yoko or Deadlift care enough to be suspicious). "Well, that was... bracing. Glad to see the, eh, right side won? You know, the air in here smells kinda funky. Maybe not the best idea to linger."

Multicast: +1 Action per round. Every enhancement increases the action count by one.

Gravity Rod / Gravity: A magical rod adorned with an ominous, purple pearl. Said to have cost men and women across many lands weeks of continuous and torturous grinding to craft.

- Level 3: Inflicts 2d6+(2d6+INT)*(Target's current HP)/(Target's max HP) Crushing damage to one target.

Sage's Staff / Cura: A purple staff with a golden ring on its tip. Said to be one of the twelve Sealed Weapons used to defeat an ancient, interdimensional necromancer. The heroes in that world apparently did not seal the weapons back properly after using them again to defeat a new evil, and so Shamhat took advantage of it and swiped the staff away. It possesses the power of the spell Cura. Heals multiple targets. Can also be used to deal damage to undeads equal to the amount of healing it would've done.

- Base: Restores INT HP, but weakens by 30% for every additional ally healed, to one or more allies. [Damage Type: Light vs Undeads]

Deadlift rips the Oz Kit off of one of the scavs, and hooks it onto his own clothing.

Chevaleresse · October 1, 2018

Chelchis gave Roy the kind of look that, in a person, would have come with a raised eyebrow. Or so he thought, anyway; Chelchis was both wearing a full-face mask and lacked eyebrows. "DID NOT THINK MACHINE WOULD BE SO EASY TO DEACTIVATE." She strode toward it, holstering her weapon for now, then started to climb up the frame, four arms moving her up fairly effortlessly.

Chelchis climbs onto the robot and looks for the power source, as to disconnect it and prevent the thing from reactivating while they aren't looking.

Vratislav sighs at the loss of his pole.

"Well, looks like I'll have to hope for rocks now... Oh yes, Evelyn dear, have you seen any rounds for Greg's gun recently? He seems to be in need of some more. Really need to get him a Bayonet..."

Strider · October 2, 2018

"Oh, wow! You did it, mister." Morp floated down happily, as he sent the wires he'd grabbed to his collection. Who knew what those things were for, but they were part of such a big robot, they probably had some use.

". . .Sooo, what do we do with it now?" Morp wasn't certain how asking to collect the robot would be recieved, so he left the question vague for the moment.

GodofGamingRWBY · October 3, 2018

Evelyn

The find of the keycard was something that brought more confusion to Evelyn... But she merely shrugged at the find, placing it in one of her hidden pockets before standing and walking out of the tank... Just in time to see Vratislav's pole be devoured, along with the wall, by what... Appeared to be the same blob she had seen earlier. This instantly caused her to run towards him, her sword already out and ready as she approached, looking between him and the wall.

... Then, after he asked her for ammunition in a casual manner, Evelyn's eyes narrowed, "An entire wall gets devoured, along with what was in your hand, and your first statement to me is 'do you happen to have ammo'?" Evelyn asked, before sighing, "Unbelievable... The best I can offer is this" she said, quickly pulling out the ammunition she had taken from the box, which was roughly half of its contents. Just as he took it though, she also pulled out the keycard she had found, "I also found this. You may get more use out of it than I" she stated, forcing it into his hand before walking around him to investigate the now crumbled wall.

kj1225 · October 3, 2018

Vratislav inspected the card for a few moment before shrugging. He goes about converting the ammo to acid ammo.

"I don't know what you expect me to say. Aside from the uh... wobbliness, these seem to not move. And they don't seem to be hostile if they're at all intelligent. Admittedly they're a bit worse than the ectoplasms I'm used to in that they instantly devour things, but as long as we don't get too close they seem perfectly safe. No point in getting all up in a mood about something we can't fix right now."

StormLord · October 4, 2018

Plankton Farms:

Evelyn approaches the mass that destroyed the wall, nearly floor to ceiling and several feet wide. The closer inspection reveals that whatever this is must have eroded the wall thin and Vratislav's tapping had just knocked the thinnest parts loose.

Personnel Quarters:

Deadlift and Yoko tear into the Oz kits like kids on Christmas morning, the sweet sweet relief of fresh air is a blessing if they've ever felt one.

To Lakia on the other hand it's slowly getting harder and harder to breath, the air is a bit sour and extremely thin through here. She should be fine if she doesn't linger too long and doesn't try to do anything too active.

Con check: 15 vs 22,

Yoko can't take deep breaths without extreme pain any more and is coughing pretty steadily.

Primary Landing Bay:

Int check: 5 vs 2,

With a little fiddling Chelchis finds a back maintenance panel for the robot's armor and opens it up. A puff of smoke immediately pours out before quickly dissipating. She disconnects anything labeled "High voltage" and finds that most of the damage is overloaded wires and a fried motherboard.

Yoko made a facial expression that was half grimace and half grin, and it wasn’t difficult to see why. Yoko was incredibly banged up, a combination of poison and burn wounds lanced across her body making it very visibly clear that she had come out of that battle barely on her feet. But Yoko being Yoko, that was soemthing to be celebrated, not to be bemoaned, even as agony lingered in her body. She tried on her dead foe’s oxygen system, and took a deep breath... before grunting and breaking into coughs. ”Ahhhhh, I am really messed up... I won, though~” The grin slipped for a moment, though — the way she was having trouble breathing was a very, very bad sign.

Her eyes were then drawn to a new arrival, who appeared to be physically and verbally sidling up to them. ”Yes, we sure did. And... -cgh- yes, we probably should move along, hmm, Deadlift? And you, purple-haired -cgh- woman... who would you be?”

DragonRage · October 4, 2018

"I am Lakia, a travelling alchemist. I do not know how I came to be here, but... The air is bad," She grimaces, "It isn't affecting me much yet, but I have heard of this. It happens sometimes in tombs or mines that dug too deep. The place fills with a miasma that seems like air but is not. We need to move on quickly or we will suffocate. Ideally find higher ground; most harmful gasses are heavier than air and will sink below it. I seem to have been brought here without most of my supplies and potion ingredients, but I have some experience with poisons. I may be able to help you when we reach a safe place."
