With Zangua and Shamush off of him, Everil launches himself at the construct without hesitation, biting at the hip joint and slashing madly with his claws...

Edit: Everil clamps into the Implacable's upper thigh with his jaws and rakes so forcefully into its belly you can hear the metal screech.

Vad, you're up!

Rolls

Quickly releasing Everil's paw Vad rolls ungracefully to his right before hopping to his feet. With a fluid gesture and a quick muttering of words a ray of cold leaves his hand and heads towards the mechanical being.

Rolls

Ray of Frost, Damage - (1d20+5, 1d8)

1d20+5 : (13) + 5 = 18

1d8 : (6) = 6

Apr 14, 2016 10:01 pm
Vad sprays hyperchilled air into the Implacable's breadbasket, forming rings of frost and narrowly missing Everil's snout.

Zora staggers half-upright, grabs her bone javelin from where she dropped it, and jogs toward the ground-floor entrance, limping. "Come on!" she yells.

New round begins! Rolling for the new combatant's initiative...

Edit: Okay, new order:

1st tier: Zangua
2nd tier: The Implacable
3rd tier: Felor, Leth, Mordred, Shamush
4th tier: Everil
5th tier: Vad
6th tier: Zora

Zangua, you're up!

Rolls

The Implacable Initiative - (1d20)

(20) = 20

Apr 14, 2016 10:59 pm
Zangua draws his handaxe and slides forward to slash at the construct, testing the strength of the metal.
OOC:
I believe drawing and attacking with two weapons are separate actions, so I assume I can only make one attack? In the next round, am I able to draw my club for two-weapon fighting?

Rolls

Handaxe vs Implacable, Damage - (1d20+6, 1d6+4)

1d20+6 : (13) + 6 = 19

1d6+4 : (6) + 4 = 10

Apr 14, 2016 11:49 pm
Yes, you can dual-attack next round.

Zangua's axe seems to bounce right off the construct's flank. Suddenly besieged from all sides, the Implacable thrusts back at Zangua with the butt end of its catchpole, then brings the blade end in a wide arc down onto Everil...

Edit: Zangua lunges away from the thrust of the bronze pole, but Everil is not so quick to react, and the blade slices into his right shoulder. Everil lets out a sharp whine of pain as the blood coming out of his shoulder seems to thicken and clot within seconds, clinging to his fur like strawberry preserves...

Felor, Leth, Mordred, Shamush, you're up.

Rolls

Seeing Zora head for an exit, Leth follows her, letting an arrow loose at the construct as he goes. He stays just a moment to see the outcome - this creature looks to be made of metal, and if that's the case, Leth isn't sure how they could harm it. He hopes to see some signs that it is indeed suffering harm from their attacks.

Rolls

Attack vs. The Implacable - (1d20+7, 1d8+3)

1d20+7 : (15) + 7 = 22

1d8+3 : (4) + 3 = 7

Perception - is the implacable getting hurt at all? - (1d20+4)

(7) + 4 = 11

Apr 15, 2016 8:53 am
Felor moves back to where he'd dropped his equipment, but before picking it up points a finger at the construct and announces "Fjorgyn! Strike down this unnatural device!". A bright spark of light leaps from his fingertip and arcs towards the construct.

Cast Guiding Bolt - IF IT HITS: All attacks vs construct gain advantage until the end of my next turn.

Rolls

Attack roll - (1d20+4)

(9) + 4 = 13

Damage if applicable (radiant) - (4d6)

Apr 15, 2016 12:00 pm
"She's right, we should go. Between Everil and The Implacable, we are doomed if we try to fight." Mordred runs to follow Zora and Leth and casts a bolt of flame at The Implacable as he goes.

Rolls

Fire Bolt - (1d20+2)

(13) + 2 = 15

Damage - (1d10)

(6) = 6

Apr 15, 2016 3:56 pm
Leth's arrow strikes the Implacable square in the chest, but does not take purchase, and seems to do the construct no harm. Felor's bolt of light and Mordred's bolt of fire both fly wide of their svelte target.

Shamush, your turn!
Apr 15, 2016 4:00 pm
OOC:
Shit! Uh, are we just legging it then? Seems pretty tough to hit.
Apr 15, 2016 4:51 pm
As far as you can tell, the following things have hit the Implacable and hurt it: Everil's teeth and claws, Vad's Ray of Frost

These things have not: Zangua's hand axe, Leth's arrow
Apr 15, 2016 6:36 pm
Shamush unslings his ugly club and shield. He looks at the club, looks at the Implacable, sighs loudly and charges forward, growling, his eyes going flat and feral.

Activating rage and frenzy.

Rolls

Morningstar attack - (1d20+4)

(6) + 4 = 10

Morningstar damage - (1d8+4)

(2) + 4 = 6

Apr 15, 2016 6:55 pm
The Implacable sidesteps Shamush's swing with unexpected dexterity. Immediately after, Everil launches himself at it again.

Edit: Everil bites down hard on the Implacable's knee, but is shaken off quickly, leaving him to swipe at empty air with his claws. However, you can see gouges in the bronze left by Everil's teeth.

Vad, you're next!

Rolls

Everil bite vs Implacable - (1d20+4)

(20) + 4 = 24

OOC:
I think I'm literally useless in this fight, ya'll hahahaha
Apr 15, 2016 8:56 pm
Who took the magic sword? Let's see if that dents him.
Apr 15, 2016 9:27 pm
OOC:
No one claimed the sword, so whoever took it from the goblins still has it.
Apr 15, 2016 10:01 pm
My mental note was that Leth had the sword, but it looks inconclusive
Apr 15, 2016 11:00 pm
Unsure if the cold had any effect on The Implacable, Vad reaches for his crossbow and quickly fires off a bolt.

Rolls

Crossbow Attack / Damage - (1d20+4, 1d8+2)

1d20+4 : (4) + 4 = 8

1d8+2 : (3) + 2 = 5

Apr 15, 2016 11:09 pm
Vad's crossbow bolt whizzes past the Implacable and embeds itself in the wall.

"Mordred -- all of you -- come on! Come on!" Zora shouts, hopping backwards down the tunnel on her good leg.

New round. Zangua, you're up again.
Apr 15, 2016 11:15 pm
OOC:
Actually now that you mention it I think I did say that if no one else wanted the sword, I would take it. Don't remember if anyone else spoke up about it after that though.

Also, I would suggest just leaving The Implacable behind with Everil and legging it down the tunnel. And healing/carrying Zora, if possible.
