Dungeon Crawling, Round 1!

[Dracos]

"Well, ...?" Ayane sort of stared, waiting for some effect.  She wasn't a wizard or anything after all.

[Merc]

Krog growls. "Strong magic! Krog power cannot break...grrr..." he seems uncharacteristically annoyed with this failure. Perhaps all the recent success with his crazy magical ventures has gone to his head or something.

[Anastasia]

AS the party talks, they hear a loud thump from the darkness. Like metal hitting something solid, like perhaps stone?

[Dracos]

Ayane glanced inward.  "Lets step back a bit and see if whatever is making that noise comes out.  Heyo, evil creature of causing horrendous pain, please bring your treasure with you," she taunted and hightailed it back to the room with the curtains, keeping an eye out from a corridor back.

OOC: I think there was a corridor between the curtains and the darkness, if not, one room further back :)

[Merc]

Krog unsheathes his trusty weapon. "Maybe if we smash it, darkness goes away?" the half orc ponders outloud, mostly to himself, as he keeps step with his current partner.

[Anastasia]

The thumping sounds a few more times, louder and louder! It sounds like something really big is coming! Massive! Gigantic! Each step is closer, metal on stone echoing throughout! The darkness is starting to shake!

[Dracos]

"Somehow...I get the sensation that I don't want to be here," She smiled.  "I suspect you don't either.  Let's retreat to behind the barricade and see it as it comes."

Her swift feet followed her words moments later.

[Merc]

Krog nods. While he has much faith in his mighty muscles, dying is not an experience he wishes to repeat any time soon. Preferably ever again, even. And what could a little caution hurt? Speaking of which, Krog casts a spell in preparation of upcomming battle.

ooc: Divine Power

[Anastasia]

As the two hide and Krog uses the POWER OF KROG to strengthen himself? They can see ahead, and from the darkness it comes! It's a smallish man, with a fearsome black beard. He wears armor head to toe, but not any armor! It's designed to the maximum, with little machines and steam vents all over.  A fearsome, crackling hammer is in his hands, electric power running through it. He looks about once and twice, before starting to come forward...

[Dracos]

Staring briefly at the strange individual, for he was quite strange, Ayane did the logical thing for a slow moving small creature covered in machinery.

She started throwing shurikens at anything that looked like it would break, jam, or pull the thing inside for painful pain on pain.

Not that she knew what it was, but but if it moved, it could be thrown at, and so the rain of swiftly flung little metal knives carrened downwards at the approaching mechaman.

[Anastasia]

List your attack value, Ayane. Remember to do that, it makes a laz-er, a GM happier! >_>

[Dracos]

OOC: 10/10/5 per round of throwing!  Yes, I can only throw three shuriken at a round, so slow ;_;.  Deals 1d2 DESTRUCTION OF MACHINARY damage.  or something.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+10
* Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+10 and gets 17." [1d20=7]
> roll 1d20+10
* Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+10 and gets 15." [1d20=5]
> roll 1d20+5
* Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+5 and gets 22." [1d20=17]
> roll 1d2
* Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d2 and gets 2." [1d2=2]

Looking out, Ayane hurled shirukens at the armored man! The first two bounce off his armor, falling to the ground with a hollow clink! The last is better aimed, embedding somewhere above the waist of the armor. A bit more steam comes out from a new opening. "Ooooh ho ho ho? Did I feel a little scratch?" the armored man bellows.

[Dracos]

Ayane's rain of circular throwing knives continues in answer, attempting to disable the strange mechanized armor.

OOC: Ayane is gonna keep 10/10/5'ing unless he gets much closer.  1d2.  Yeah, it's no real effect, but we've got a barricade between us and him and no reason not to plink at him annoyingly.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+10
* Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+10 and gets 13." [1d20=3]
> roll 1d20+10
* Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+10 and gets 17." [1d20=7]
> roll 1d20+5
* Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+5 and gets 16." [1d20=11]

Plink, plink, plink. The little throwing stars bounce off the steaming armor with nary a scratch! He's coming, and he's coming towards you swiftly!

Holding this for Krog to take action, then we'll go into description and initiative, I think.
