Side Quest One: A Slight Xenomorph Problem...

[2025/02/19 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, we have a slight problem
[2025/02/19 15:13] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: yes?
[2025/02/19 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: yes
[2025/02/19 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: a slight xenomorph problem
[2025/02/19 15:18] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: oooh, Atilla!
[2025/02/19 15:18] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: it's been a while
[2025/02/19 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me finally finds the Notes, such as they are, since the entire game was generated on the fly
[2025/02/19 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, ready to conclude this ironically zombie game?
[2025/02/19 15:21] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: sure, we left off at the body of a xenomorph
[2025/02/19 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: According to my notes and logs...
[2025/02/19 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: we have access to the fortified cave that the humans were using as a base
[2025/02/19 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ten drow warriors were sent out
[2025/02/19 15:22] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: not including Atilla
[2025/02/19 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: now one dead, one near death, rest in various states - hmm, I count 7
[2025/02/19 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: yep, 7
[2025/02/19 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: many legged servant of Lolth, injured and too big for the caves ahead
[2025/02/19 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Priestess of Lolth, out of spells bar one healing spell
[2025/02/19 15:24] Alicia Frakture: Thought we were all running. We had been in combat with these things we beat some of the xenos and were now trying to survive
[2025/02/19 15:24] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Do we need to report back?"
[2025/02/19 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha & Sapphire looking a bit beat up
[2025/02/19 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: The gates to the cave complex are open; they sent out assorted prisoners and monsters, now all dead
[2025/02/19 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: What do you do? (Take your time, I know it's been a while)
[2025/02/19 15:27] Alicia Frakture: Bodies have been looted, body chemicals have been collected.
[2025/02/19 15:27] Alicia Frakture: " I think we should run. This might be worse than we can handle in a small group and I don't have enough explosives
[2025/02/19 15:28] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Have we checked the human fort for loot and information yet?
[2025/02/19 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Priestess: (snorts contemptuously): "A lesser creature would say that. Go, get out of the way of the mighty drow forces."
[2025/02/19 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Nope.
[2025/02/19 15:30] Alicia Frakture: Skamos: While I appreciate the mighty drow forces. This is something we have not seen before.
[2025/02/19 15:30] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Alright. Let's see what the humans left behind." Atilla taps the alchemist's shoulder and moves to get to looting and searching for intel.
[2025/02/19 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Priestess: "You and the rest of the troops go ahead and clear the place out. Find out what the great weapon is supposed to be and murder anyone you find. Report back to me here."
[2025/02/19 15:32] Alicia Frakture: Skamos shrugs and follows Atilla
[2025/02/19 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: The large doors guarding the entrance are slightly ajar. You should be able to push them aside and gain entry easily
[2025/02/19 15:34] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Atilla kicks them open, sword and whip at the ready
[2025/02/19 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: You see a short passageway, and the backs of four chain mail shirts - the humans are fleeing!
[2025/02/19 15:35] Alicia Frakture: Skamos looks over at the Priestess. "If I die do NOT touch the glowing purple ball in my workshop. It will either give you super powers or teleport you to another plane of existence."
[2025/02/19 15:36] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: how short is short? Can i standard move and get into fight range?
[2025/02/19 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Considering they're booking it down the passageway, moving isn't overly feasible. Drawing arrows might be a much better option, they're unlikely to outrun them.
[2025/02/19 15:37] Alicia Frakture: I activate the ring of finger guns and pew!
[2025/02/19 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll 1d4 add 1

[2025/02/19 15:39] D20: MidnightMinion Cyberstar rolls 18
[2025/02/19 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: A glowing dart of force streaks out to one of the escapees and slams into him. He screams in pain! You got one more shot left.
[2025/02/19 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hit: d6
[2025/02/19 15:41] D6: MidnightMinion Cyberstar rolls 4
[2025/02/19 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: The arrow hits, and there is a scream of pain
[2025/02/19 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: there's six drow warriors, who let loose with their bows
[2025/02/19 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, 6x d20
[2025/02/19 15:42] D20: Alicia Frakture rolls 19

[2025/02/19 15:44] Alicia Frakture: *brb, three minutes*
[2025/02/19 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: There are several screams of agony! Two fall dead, one limps on wounded, the other keeps running. "They're coming! They're shooting at us! They shot us in the back! The bastards!"
[2025/02/19 15:46] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Don't let them report!" He aims for the faster moving one to finish the grisly work.
[2025/02/19 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you move up, you see a large (50') chamber. To one side, an alcove, to the other, a doorway to which the uninjured guy is running, and his wounded companion is staggering.
[2025/02/19 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: You can make one round of missile fire before they evade you
[2025/02/19 15:49] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: He aims, "Lolth guide my arrows," he whispers. Then he looses.
[2025/02/19 15:49] D20: MidnightMinion Cyberstar rolls 7
[2025/02/19 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Oh well.
[2025/02/19 15:49] Alicia Frakture: Firing the sabre of light
[2025/02/19 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're firing it?
[2025/02/19 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's a melee weapon, remember
[2025/02/19 15:50] Alicia Frakture: oh yeah, ah well finger gun again

[2025/02/19 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: One guy goes down dead, the other writhes in pain and makes a sprited crawl
[2025/02/19 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, you sure you want to use the last use of the fingergun?
[2025/02/19 15:52] Alicia Frakture: Dont have any distance weapons
[2025/02/19 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: d4, add 1
[2025/02/19 15:53] D4: Alicia Frakture rolls 4
[2025/02/19 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dead.
[2025/02/19 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: So in this chamber, alcove to one side, doorway straight ahead
[2025/02/19 15:54] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: These dead humans have any armor or weapons that seem worthwhile?
[2025/02/19 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: They seem quite low-level.
[2025/02/19 15:56] Alicia Frakture: If they have arrows I am going to snag one or two.. I have ideas
[2025/02/19 15:56] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: throwable spears also good
[2025/02/19 15:56] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Atilla will carefully check the alcove they were fleeing too, expecting reinforcements.
[2025/02/19 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: short swords and arrows.
[2025/02/19 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: They weren't going to the alcove; that appears to be a bit going down into darkness
[2025/02/19 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: they were however going to the doorway, from where you can hear the sounds of fighters getting ready
[2025/02/19 15:59] Alicia Frakture: Gonna cast Thaumaturgy to close the door on them
[2025/02/19 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: then how will you go further?
[2025/02/19 15:59] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Do I observe anything in the alcove from here?
[2025/02/19 15:59] Alicia Frakture: Hoping to catch them before they go through the door. we can worry about it afterwards
[2025/02/19 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: A hole, it goes down... and gets dark fast
[2025/02/19 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: they're the other side of the door, waiting for you
[2025/02/19 16:00] Alicia Frakture: Oh, then never mind. this one misunderstood you
[2025/02/19 16:01] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Ooof, spooky hole. Though an exit if things get really brutal and need to take the risk.
[2025/02/19 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mmhmm
[2025/02/19 16:01] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Atillla will move to listen at the door for how many their are.
[2025/02/19 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sounds like a handful
[2025/02/19 16:04] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: He returns to the group. "Is anyone ready to blind their eyes for this fight? I estimate five."
[2025/02/19 16:04] Alicia Frakture: Skamos nods and covers her eyes
[2025/02/19 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: The remaining six drow look ready, apart from the one near death who seems more ready to lurk at the back
[2025/02/19 16:07] Alicia Frakture: Before we go in I am reactivating mechanical familiar
[2025/02/19 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: *clunk* *clank* *whirr* *monkey noises*
[2025/02/19 16:08] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Atilla moves to breach the door, counting down on his hand from four so everyone is ready.
[2025/02/19 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....and then...?
[2025/02/19 16:09] Alicia Frakture: Skamos is ready as is... *Really gotta name the monkey*
[2025/02/19 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: then roll initiative I guess

[2025/02/19 16:10] D20: Alicia Frakture rolls 9
[2025/02/19 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: The door swings open, you see a crude barricade of tables and crates, with a handful of humans behind
[2025/02/19 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: drow go first
[2025/02/19 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: what goes down?
[2025/02/19 16:12] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Do the surfacers have any distinguishing marks? fancy hats, colorful armor, fine hair?
[2025/02/19 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: not as far as you can tell at the moment
[2025/02/19 16:14] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Atilla will aim for the one using their cover least well
[2025/02/19 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20

[2025/02/19 16:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha
[2025/02/19 16:20] Alicia Frakture: Gonna use the thaumaturgy again to create a tremor under the makeshift wall to see if she can shake it loose
[2025/02/19 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's just heaped tables and crates
[2025/02/19 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me notes the use, and, why not, tables and crates clatter about
[2025/02/19 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: time for them to go....
[2025/02/19 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: one fires arrow at Sapphire

[2025/02/19 16:23] Alicia Frakture: They got their shots so Skamos rushes in with her dagger to one of the still standing top siders
[2025/02/19 16:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: not the saber?
[2025/02/19 16:24] Alicia Frakture: No, not at first. This one made the wrong decision and will stand by it
