/vx/ - Videogames and Paranormal

>>32479
I mean the machines, if a description can be given

[1d20+5 = 9]
>>32478
*releases chain from bag and prepares to attack approaching creature*
Spot check to see what's coming

>>32478
Readies full round attack for when Creature comes by

>>32479
Its hard to make much out from the door, but they appear to be large glass cylinders, full of fluid and containing some sort of immobile creature.
>>32481
The footsteps are much closer, but no shadows are cast from the ambient light sources.

[1d20+5 = 20]
>"Something's coming" She says, readying her fiery chain to engage, and drawing kunai
Listen check to determine how many creatures.
>>32484
>'You're the Paladin; turn them when you see them.'

How many times can the Everwhirling chain attack per turn?

>>32482
The creature steps fully into view. Its a very gaunt and hard-featured elf with very pale skin. It looks at the machine closest to the door, makes a few scribbles on a clipboard, and then wanders back the way it came.

>>32486
Tracy makes an almost disappointed sigh of relief
".... That was weird...."
*steals everything that isn't nailed down*

>>32486
Trumpaladin uses Hat of disguise to turn into a business man

>>32487
>"Wanna pull a bluff?"
\r

>>32487
Please be more specific. Are you entering the room?

>>32487
Wait until the elf is actually gone

>>32489
They're not inside already?
>>32490
This.

>>32491
I thought you were doing a Scooby-Doo, peeking through the door like a totem

>>32492
That's better...
Does he show any signs of leaving?

>>32493
>>32495
Are you guys whispering this?

>>32496
Link

>>32496
It's the empathetic link

Thez, not knowing what you two are discussing whispers "I say we interrogate him, find out if he knows where I'nis is."

[1d20 = 4]
>>32500
Fuck it then. Opens door, uses Rope of Entanglement

Oh bloody hell.
I g2g for possibly an hour
I am so sorry...

[1d20 = 13]
>>32502
Don't sweat it

>>32503
Fae is ordered to Grapple

The elf-guy is caught sufficiently by surprise that he is caught sufficiently by the rope, which winds its self around him. Thez <whooof> gags his mouth and he collapses in a heap, while Fae provides support.
"He's unusually strong for his size," Fae comments.

>>32505
Finishes tying him down, while Fae provides any needed muscle.

>>32506
With the elf subdued, Trump can get a better look at the place. Its essentially a corridor, made of metal like seen before. On either side of the corridor are placed the same sorts of cylindrical devices, which he can see have organsms (mostly human/humanoid) that are suspended motionless in liquid. As the hallway progresses further, larger and larger tanks hold increasingly sized creatures, including - at the end of the hallway and adjacent to a stairwell, a cloud giant in the largest.

The tanks have lines and tubes running from the base to the mouths and along the creature's body. Its very mad-scientisty.

>>32508
It's established that the largest creature is a Cloud giant. What about the remainder of the creatures? Are they essentially the same as the creatures seen at the walls?

>>32509
No, the creatures at the walls were more bestial and feral, these seem to be more fair and gentle specimens.

[1d20 = 10]
Thez moves to the end of the hall, then to the top of the stairs, and listens for noise.

Finally back.
Again, take everything that isn't nailed down.

[1d20+5 = 12]
>>32511
Tracy listens too, while stuffing her bag.

>>32512
>>32513
The only thing not nailed down is the elf-guy's clipboard.
Beyond the door, several individuals are engaged in conversation. Its impossible to make out what they're saying.

>>32512
Don't. It would take forever, you could expose a steam line, and the creatures in the tubes or liquids going in and out could be very dangerous.

You got your loot from the Hax item creation. Be satisfied with it and don't risk fucking over the whole party

>>32513
>>32514
You can take his clipboard

>>32511
Trumpaladin signals for Thez to come closer to talk to him

>>32514
Take all the levers and buttons off of the machines, to effectively sabotage them.

>>32517
<whoooof>
"There's more beyond the door. They seem somewhat occupied, but if we're going to interrogate this guy we should take him back outside."
>>32518
And then Tracy does this.

>>32518
That would take a while, and we're probably going to blow up the facility, but whatever. I though you might want to interrogate a guy

>>32519
"That's exactly what I was going to recommend. Let's go do it"

>>32518
Please describe briefly the process of sabotaging the machines. The buttons are attached, and there's no levers to be removed. It IS susceptible to breaks at several points (along tubes, glass, circuitry, etc.).

>>32520
"Or at least to where the dinos were, loud noises shouldn't be that out of the ordinary from that room."

>>32521
>>32518
Sabatoge sounds loud. Let's wait until we've cleared out the next room

>>32522
"Yes, let's do that, and close the door"

Why don't we wait on the other side of the door and just stab them as they come through?
>>32521
Nevermind that, I was mostly shitposting, but she wouldn't do something like that if she was in a hurry.
Snip-snip any visible wires, to cause problems for the next guy coming.

>>32524
K, there are some exposed wires that can be cut. So while Tracy is doing that, Thez, Trump, Fae, and Torcuil haul elf-guy into the next room. He's definitely not casting a shadow, it wasn't just a trick of the light.

>>32524
That's how I wanted to do this guy. But I think Tracy's evil alignment/lack of code/intimidation makes her helpful in interrogating this half-elf.

>>32525
Alright, Trumpaladin removes the gag, and starts
"Sorry to startle and inconvenience you. We just want to ask a few questions"

>>32525
A vampire?
Tracy follows the group and waits by the door, preparing to ambush the first guy who walks through.
>>32526
Paladins are responsible for all of the actions if their cohorts, but we diverge.

>>32527
As you remove the gag, the elf hisses at you at length. "You aren't part of the Court, release me!"
