15 Death Hart
Harcourt - attempting to kill scavvers, one at a time in the hallway.
Still has a Yuurk (-10 to incoming damage).
May be able to 'feed' on a Yuurk as is magic.
[used Scavver as basic description but needn't be exact match]
AC 15, bite +4 d6+2, HP 19.
14:13, Today: Garek rolled 14,11 using d20+13,d8+8. speed attack (+3 wpn,+1 spec,+4 str,+5 lvl).
Max damage < yuurk so can't hole except with a crit.
For Harcourt - takes 2 attacks to kill one [hits on 2 or better]. 3 attacks/rd. Assume kills 1/rd.
Rolling 22 attacks to check for 20s.
14:16, Today: Garek rolled 3,20,6,8,3,16,6 using d20,d20,d20,d20,d20,d20,d20. attacks 8-14.
14:16, Today: Garek rolled 12 using 2d6+2. damage.
14:17, Today: Garek rolled 15,8,9,17,19,7,8,5 using d20,d20,d20,d20,d20,d20,d20,d20. attacks 15-22.
2 damage. unable to patch suit for 14 rounds after hole; oxygen zero. Body control would adapt but puts the PCs on a limited time frame before PSPs reach zero.
14:19, Today: Garek rolled 14 using 1d20+8. Use Artifacts +8. [difficulty of 20]
Mine - imagine is a Huge (20' across) spiked metal ball. Thrusters in the back.
Random equipment around but no hand-held detector apparent.
Drives themselves - magical and dodgy.
Checking if any other tech visible:
14:23, Today: Garek rolled 26 using 1d100. Other tech items apparent (70%).
Say yes (despite it being a magic ship).
'Is it in one of the shark monsters?'
14:26, Today: Garek rolled 28 using 1d100. Does mine react to PCs (50%).
14:39, Today: Garek rolled 19 using 1d100. reacts to active shark monster question (25%).
-yes.
14:28, Today: Garek rolled 41 using 1d100. Has AI.
meh result - say a 'limited' AI (set of programmed commands)
14:29, Today: Garek rolled 93 using 1d100. presence of secondary attacks (d100).
-does just hole ship, can't also release secondary robots or whatever.
Drive reactivation - would be firmly embedded.
Presume its drive shut off by AI, or it would be out of propellant ?
14:31, Today: Garek rolled 50 using 1d100. Drive shut off earlier by AI (41%).
'Has AI' - lower result is better so result of 41% gives a roll of 60 or less for functioning.
14:32, Today: Garek rolled 59 using 1d100. Firmly embedded in hull (80%).
14:36, Today: Garek rolled 10 using 1d20. Antaeus danger sense.
-ship vibrates; Antaeus' Danger Sense goes off.
Whole ship starts moving as the mine fires up (sensing a new magic source/wants to explode PCs).
14:37, Today: Garek rolled 12 using 1d20. Garek Int check (16 or less).
'its responding to our presence'
-mine doesn't trigger initially, just when YN question used - consequently is reacting to magic being used. Int checks across party
14:41, Today: Garek rolled 9 using 1d20. Antaeus Int check. [off a 23..]
PCs realize its responding to their using magic..
'there's your magic detector'.
Harcourt - can survive about half an hour in vacuum, but limited time here.
The magic detector a) doesn't fit through a portal and b) is trying to kill them.
YN questions used: 2.
PCs beating a retreat with a portal.
Potential to retry: would take a week or use up a Plane Shift scroll.
Still has problems of a) size of the object b) its murderous nature.
Potential it could hit a planet while travelling ? - realistically pretty unlikely unless the universe is very different [fantasy physics]. Could also hit additional mines (may be less likely given drive 'dormant' now).
