Floor 1 "Wheel": 1-1

[Anastasia]

Varian turns around! As he does, he sees something quite unusual! A giant, shambling mound of junk has taken form, surging forward in spurts! Each time makes a lout THUMP, the strange mass about 30 feet away from the two! With lumbering speed it comes at them! The path ahead is a massive conflux of ruined, burnt rubble. It's a little smoky here and quite a dead end. Whatever happened here didn't happen too long ago, but it did a helluva number on the place.

There's plenty of space to move ahead around the heaps of refuge, though it's difficult terrain.

* Hatbot --> "Kodinner rolls 1d20-2 and gets 10." [1d20=12]
* Hatbot --> "Kodinner rolls 1d20+3 and gets 15." [1d20=12]
* Hatbot --> "Kodinner rolls 1d20-1 and gets 19." [1d20=20]

Varian>Shadow>Heap. Varian, you're up. Shadow, you can also go since both of you act before the heap.

Also.

Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+8 Dracos spot mod and gets 22." [1d20=14]

Shadow can see that there is a lot of loose rubble amid the thing, and several clay jars of some odd material. Looks kinda oily from what little spills out.

[Dracos]

Eying one of the clay jars near the things leg, he targeted one with two arrows, sending them flying toward it and then moving back a step, staying away from the junk behind him as best as possible.

OOC: +5, +5 1d8+1 on both.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+5 and gets 16." [1d20=11]
* Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+5 and gets 16." [1d20=11]

* Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 2d8+2 and gets 9." [2d8=3, 4]

Two arrows fly out, Shadow's twinned shots piercing clay jars and junk! Sparks and flames race up the heaps 'legs', catching much of it on fire!

Varian.

[Merc]

Varian winces but lets loose his own bolt from the crossbow, hoping it does some damage.

ooc: +1, 1d6 dmg.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Inifnite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+1 and gets 4." [1d20=3]

Varian aims but simply misses! As he does, the burning heap of junk crashes over Varian, slamming him with many a heap of burning  junk!

* Hatbot --> "Inifnite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+5 and gets 9." [1d20=4]

But Varian dives out of the way of the monstrosity!

Shadow'n'Varian are up.

[Dracos]

Shadow moves back, clearing away from it, using the junk for a bit of cover and firing a single arrow at its other leg, aiming again for a capsule.  He really wants to slow it down.

OOC: +7, 1d8+1.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Kowork rolls 1d20+7 and gets 10." [1d20=3]


Shadow aims, shoots and misses the target completely!

[Merc]

Varian begins to make an incantation as he gestures with one hand, causing a small torrent of water to form above the creature, and letting gravity do the rest.

ooc: Casting Create Water to douse the flames on the creature (and rust maybe? *shrugs*).

[Anastasia]

The flames are battled back, half extinguished by Varian's application of water! Without the fire, much of the burnt debris seem to weaken, the entire thing creaking wildly! Nonetheless, it is able to make another swinging attack at Varian!

* Hatbot --> "Nikori rolls 1d20+5 and gets 17." [1d20=12]
* Hatbot --> "Nikori rolls 1d8+2 and gets 6." [1d8=4]

9/15. You two are up.

SLAM! The heaping crush leaves Varian battered and beaten as rubble rains down around him!

Shadow'n'Varian are up.

[Merc]

Varian gives a small scream of pain as he tries to take his distance and fires with the crossbow again.

ooc: +1 atk, 1d6 dmg.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 and gets 9." [1d20=8]

The whiff! Varian fires but misses the giant hunk of junk in front of him, somehow!

Shadow.

[Dracos]

"Hope you've got another one of those," Shadow drew two more arrows, sending it at the container in his right 'leg' part and then retreated back another five feet.

OOC: +5, +5, 1d8+1 each

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+1 and gets 3." [1d8=2]

With that final arrow, the burnt, wet and generally mangled heap of junk collapses into a great big pile of rubble and junk!

Free act.

[Dracos]

Shadow does a quick search of the junk in the area, see if it was protecting anything or its previous victims had dropped anything.  Including of course the junk monster itself.

[Merc]

"Ugh, I hate the limitations of this so-called magic," Varian declares with disgust as he looks at the mess, wincing as he grabs his side where he was hit. "I hope our beloved 'Benefactor' has some more of that healing stuff available for us somewhere amongst this junk. That or we have another ally popping up on us. Promise I won't send him to his probable death this time."

The drippingly sarcastic tone used on 'Benefactor' leaves little unsaid of his opinion of the game master making them dance like puppets.
