Re: (IC) Chapter 1: You meet in a tavern....

Unwilling to leave the annoying creature to its feast, Isaac swings again with his sword. Hitting solidly, he grins as the cold iron penetrates the tough armor. "About time. I need to practice more on hard targets!"

BOOM! CRACK! SLAM! CRASH!

And the rust creature falls to the ground. Dead or rather inoperable. The goblin gets lowered to the ground and Xander walks up to the 'dead' creatures. Several people watch as the group takes care of them. Parts of the ground topple over and drop down but there seems to be no signs of the creatures. Four guards start to come down the road, all drawing longswords.

Brokk puts his hands up in the air, keeping hold of his short bow but, doesn't draw a new arrow from his quiver.

As Bucko is lowered to the ground he quickly sets to cleaning his musket...

"Someone reminds me to gets a nice case to holds musket aways from hungry monsters."

He gives it a quick once over, and then he gets into his supplies to put more bullets into his bandoleer....

Kisaiya called her spiritual weapon to her and stood with it, watching the approaching guards.  Her long red hair had come loose in the combat, and now floated about her shoulders.  She placed herself between her fellows and the guards, letting her beauty show and giving her best smile.  She said nothing, just letting them see her in her chainmail, looking confident... and beautiful.

Dusting off and removing the fragments of his once protective armour, Isaac, stands near the bodies of the rust monsters, looking at them for clues. Suspicious of their nature, he expressly looks for signs of the constructs that he was told about, ignoring the approaching guards as they are too late too help. "Xander, are these more of those automatons? Rust monsters wouldn't just show up in the middle of a floating city. If these are more constructs, the fact they emulate the actual special talents of the real thing is more than a little disturbing. This is enemy action!" He says, assuredly.

Bucko looks at the monsters and then down into the hole...

Bucko sticks his thumb to his chest...

" Well, now I'm going to need some new armour. Justice served, if I can make it out of these creatures." the Paladin says, as he looks at the remains. "what can you tell from them?" he asks.

"Looks like same types of machines that attacked us in tavern.  Weird though, metal rust monster has same ability as regular rust monster," Brokk says in reply to Isaac.  His hands are still raised as the guard's approach.

Re: (IC) Chapter 1: You meet in a tavern....

"How would I know if there are more of them dwelling about Isacc?" The mage watches the paladin and sighs. He kneels down, watching these strange creatures "I know little of what they are but I know they represent constructs and rust monster material. Combining them is a interesting task. One must know what the creatures are capable of and what they can do. Here is a tough call. Who brought them in remains unknown. All I know is there is a plague possibly and I want to find the girl. And I know rust monsters linger where there is a lot of metal, something this place is full of but how did they get here, why are they here...." He stands up rubbing his chin.

The guards approach, swords drawn "What has happened here?"

Kisiaya gives her best smile.  "We were attacked, evil creatures, we killed them before they could kill the town folks.  It is our job.  What took you so long?">

She did her best to look confidant and in control, and helpful.

Kisaiya Loranain rolled 31 using 1d20+14.  Dipolmacy, with a +1 due to her feats.

Re: (IC) Chapter 1: You meet in a tavern....

Bucko kneels in front of the cleric as the guards seem entralled and does his best impression of an adoring toady to show that they should be listening to her....

Is this an aid another action?

Re: (IC) Chapter 1: You meet in a tavern....

"Last I checked according to the king it was our job, miss. Not yours. I simply asked of what had happened here and you insulted the guards. Perhaps that is your job and perhaps you are in league with this creatures and had them attacked just to kill them off and give yourself a needed boost. It didn't work. Now then, the creatures will be removed. We cannot be everywhere."</blue> Though the words are indeed harsh, the guards sheath their weapons. One of the guards behind the man sighs <green>"Sir if I may? They did stop them. We have no proof of who they are in league with and two of them are residents of churches. And one is a librarian. Surely they did not do it nor had any issue whatsoever to cause this." The guard who seems to be in charge stares at the other "You think I did not notice this? Get in your place." The guard who defended him crosses his arms and the one in charge looks back at Kis "Be on your way. Thank you for aiding them but we can take it from here." Looks like Kis's demenaor saved the group. And the fact they know who Xander is as well as two of them-Kis and Isaac, The head guard moves off to question people roaming about. And the one who defended them bows "Sorry about that. He lets his job getting the better of him. Anything I can do, ask." He smiles as the other guards go to grab the bodies. Xander steps towards them "Do not touch the antennas. They will corroded whatever they touch. Grab them with cloth." They nod and one of them goes off to grab a floating wagon.

Re: (IC) Chapter 1: You meet in a tavern....

Bucko hears what Xander has to say....

"Xander is right, we should gets salvage rights, Might be a good way to make a whip..Bet they is worth money to the gnome and his shop."


Bucko starts to head and then double takes and doesn't because of the lack of armor on some of the others...

"Do we file papers for rights o slavalge?"

Re: (IC) Chapter 1: You meet in a tavern....

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 326):

"Gentlemen, once you are finished your investigations, I'd be interested in the scraps of the pseudo-rust monsters. Their 'hide' was sufficiently strong enough to turn aside many blows, and as a smith I would like to experiment on the use of that material as armor. It would be a fitting justice since they destroyed my own. Also, if you need any details of the attack or such, feel free to call on me." Isaac offers, still intrigued by the devices. Turning to the rest of the group, he adds, "In the meantime, I need to buy some new armor as we continue our own investigations."

Re: (IC) Chapter 1: You meet in a tavern....

"Thank you to all of you brave guardsmen.  We serve to help the public as do you.  Be safe."

She paused at the one who was nice to her.  "Thank you, dear fellow.  I know how hard it must be to be on guard.  I forgive him for his brusk manner.  Be careful, these creatures are most unpleasant."

She sighed, patted Bucko on the shoulder, then turned to Isaac.  "I need to retrieve my glaive.  Being with all of you is much more hazardous than I thought!  Do you need healing?  I can do so for you.  Otherwise, I shall go to my quarters to gain the rest of my gear and pray.  Do we have a place to meet?"

Glancing at the bloody scratches on his skin, he says "No, this is merely the consequences of my own inexperience without armor. I am able to deal with them in time, but thank you for offering. We can meet up back at the gnomish shop?"

Brokk finally lowers his hands and approaches closer to the constructs(?).  "Yeah Bucko, boss might be happy with this salvage.  No tellin' what he could make out of it."

"We should continue on to the Temple for now. Even more so when I lack the girding I use normally. They may have something available. We were going to ask about the plague as well, there." Isaac says, "We can then meet up at the Gnome's workshop once done."

Kisaiya nodded.  "Aye, let us go to his temple.  We can regird, regroup and move forward.  Whatever it is you are looking to do will make sense then.  Myself and My Goddess are along for the ride.  So let's ride."

She nodded again and gave a thumbs up to the guards, then joined again with her new friends to head forward.

Brokk shrugs his shoulders, "Temple it is!  Bucko's got a good point about stickin' together for safety."

Brokk will approach the guardsmen, "Can we claim salvage for my boss?"

"We should gets yous some dusters and keep go go goin."


To be clear duster is the term Bucko uses for armored coats, due to the fact gunmen like such items, see gunman's duster for reference...
