The Rat King says, "Play fair? Oh I'll play fair all right!" He shifts gears suddenly begins moving toward William at full speed. Using his built up momentum, the RatMech hits William like a bull, sending him flying 5ft away and knocking him out. The hunter begins raining arrows on the RatMech but every single one misses. The RatMech raises its hand again and calls in another Airstrike. Joben takes pigeon diarrhea to the face again (unless bardic inspiration can help you make the save)
Joben's Turn.
DM: You guys maybe level 1 but don't forget that you're fighting the (appropriately level scaled) BBEG of the one-shot. Don't hold back.
DM: Decided to make a more organized post instead of editing the previous one. Moved a few things around for better story flow.
Joben shouts at William to get up. It manages to bring him out of unconsciousness and to hit feet. The Rat King says, "Oh no you don't! You're not pulling that again!" The gears on the shoulder mounted heavy crossbow move about and it fires a bolt at Joben. Joben jumps high in the air and avoids the attack which would have taken him out had it hit. While still mid-air he retaliates by launching his own arrow at the Rat Mech. It raises its shield to try and block the attack. The arrow slows down as it impacts the wrist mounted shield but it still manages to penetrate deep enough to cause damage to the machine.
William goes to swing with his morning star but the Fungi8's wrist shield proves to be too much for the attack. The Ratmech shouts, "Artillery support!" and another Rock is launched at William. William gets a glint in his eye. Dropping his shield, he grabs his morning star with both hands and then hits a home-run on the rock. The rock flies of and crashes through someone's window. Everyone just stares speechless at the broken glass for a bit. Then the Hunter tries to shoot the Ratmech again but he misses again.
Joben's turn. (William, you have another Bardic Inspiration)
Seeing how easily the mec is turning away their attacks, William try’s thinking outside the box.
OOC: is there anything around that might be useful, like a scaffolding or crane holding a piano or anythong he could try to drop on the mec? Or maybe a barrel of oil?
Joben moves 25 feet closer to stay within a good range for his bow.
