Murder Mansion (2019-2020) - Game Thread

Yes, Flynt will take those scrolls.

" Right...up then", Ignatia said mounting the stairs to lead the way up.

Investigation:21

Perception:10

Stealth:6

Flynt is going to wait for everyone else before he walks up the stairs.

Stealth - 2

Ignatia leads the party up the stairs to the 3rd floor. (Ignatia, Shae, Renny, Flynt)

Some of you are not quite up the stairs yet when Ignatia and Shae notice a suit of black plate armor standing against the west wall, draped in cobwebs. You both also notice it's eyes start to flicker a pale yellow, and then turn a solid yellow as the plate armor begins to move...

You are all currently jammed up on the stairs.

Everyone please roll for initiative! 

(I will keep all of your previous skill rolls if need be once this fight ends...)

For Ignatia:

 Map:

 Initiative: 2

Moving quickly Ignatia ducked around to her right ( A1), and flung a sling stone around the corner at it.

" Its not alive, or dead but empowered by magics...", she warned the others.

Sling: Attack: 8 Damage: 4

Initiative: 13

Renny sees those in front get tense, "What is it?"

Initiative :5

Shae falls into a defensive strike stance, and gets ready to launch an assault on the armor!

 (Flynt I will roll initiative for you - I hope that's ok!)

Flynt: 4

Animated Armor: 19

Ignatia gets the jump, and dashes up into the northwest part of the hallway, so fast that the suit of armor does not even get the chance to flinch. She launches a stone from the cover of the hallway wall, and she can tell right from when it leaves the sling that it’s dead on. The stone cracks the armor directly in the head, and jars the suit or armor’s head a few inches to the side. Ignatia, you notice a small crack in the helmet about an inch where the stone hit. ( 5hp – damn, Ignatia is good with that sling!)

The suit of armor stumbles after being hit and heads forward to the threat directly in front of it. It moves in front of Shae and swings both of its arms at her with reckless abandonment, trying to crush the elf ->

Attack: 20 Damage: 8

Attack: 8 Damage: 4

Both of the armor's huge metal arms connect with Shae. What happened was she mis-stepped on the last step (which is totally unlike her) which put her off balance. She wasn't able to get out of the way of the massive arms, and they both slam into her body, smashing her internal organs and then smashing her into the wall. Shae falls down on the ground, kind of slumped on the top few stairs, her body motionless and bleeding from her mouth.

Shae, please make a death save.

Renny, Flynt and Ignatia are up!

(That's fine).

Flynt is going to move through his allies and to C2 and attack.

Attack: 13 Damage: 8

Renny's eyes go wide as it knocks down Shae basically right in front of her. She hurls a fire bolt as it and then backs away along the stairs.

Attack: 10 Damage: 4

(Flynt you still have your full 5hp Lay on Hands pool remaining since it wasn't used on Karlina)

(Shae is Unconscious and has 3 rounds to either be stabilized or receive healing or she will die outright)

Flynt, you successfully navigate your way past Renny and over Shae's body and end up adjacent to the suit of armor. You bring your longsword down across the armor's torso, and it hits, quite loudly.... but the armor takes no damage and you can now tell that this suit of armor is built with very strong metal. 

Renny, you are quite startled by all of this and can't seem to get your footing on the stairs... kind of what just happened to Shae. Your fire bolt shoots past the suit of armor, missing it by a foot and smashing into the west wall with a small explosion of fire. 

Shae - make a death saving throw at any time

Ignatia is up!

(Oof. Shit happens. Lol)

Death Save!: 7

Between the moments of Flynt's longsword deflecting off the suit of armor and Renny's fire bolt exploding against the wall, you hear (and see) gurgles of blood coming out of Shae's mouth. 

Death save 1 = Fail

Ignatia is up!

" Flynt! Can you get that thing away from Shae?"

She muttered and created a realistic looking image of a small round ball covered in eye-stalks ( Spectator) floating in the air ( C3) menacing the armour.

If it moves towards the illusion she'll scoot forward and attempt to stabilise Shae next round.

Ignatia please make a deception or a persuasion check - your choice.

Ignatia please make a deception or a persuasion check - your choice.

 Deception: 5

During his turn, Flynt is going to turn around and move to B4 and use lay on hands for Shae and use all five points.

I will process all of this first thing in the morning!

In the meantime, Renny can also make a move, and Shae please roll another death saving throw.

Thanks!
