Session Two Hundred (Graveyard of Empires Summary)
SESSION 200 – April 25, 2018
We continue our exploration.
Nash uses the Serithaz helm to put a copy of Axel into one of the two automatons we see, and it sets off alarms and lock down commences. Two more automatons are revealed.
“Axel” fights on our side, so we have 3 foes to face. Rallion uses his lightning axe on one and Kauri finishes it off with magic missle. The other two are unharmed. They then disappear and reappear, basically “blink” automatons. Kauri can see them the entire time, but can only affect them when they are visible to all of us. This wastes a blast from Rallion’s lightning axe and one of Kauri’s magic missile spells.
Once we end the threat of the phasing/blinking automatons, the 4 gun turrets in the other room with Lysander’s eye fire on us and injure a couple of us.
Kauri convinces the DVL to lower the threat level in our area and we wait about ten minutes for the turrets to go idle.
WE explore the research room and find a catalog of notes and recordings of items being cataloged. There is no easy way to tell what things are by their catalog code, so we don’t learn a lot there. the long term storage is in lock down.
We explore the residential area and it is cleaned out, like an orderly exit. We take an opportunity to rest. Rallion hears a noise of a whump! and firing of the weapon from the “Gatling gun” of the automaton we fought in the residential area. It must be holding off infected.
We use the code from the desk (carved into it) 96249 to operate the doors labelled lift. We see one Gatling automaton killing a mass of flesh each time it gets up. We send the drone to look and a second Gatling automaton is stomping an infected.
We plan to take out the one doing the shooting, and closing the door to keep out the one doing the stomping, while Lambertus cures disease on the mass it is keeping down, so we can use the lift.
However, before we do that, we will check out long term storage. Laris used Knock to open it and it did NOT set off the turrets, so we will check that out next time.
