07.05.2023 - Scribe-5 - An Old Friend
General Summary
(Everyone is here for once :D)
- The suspension of the workshop is so good that we don't notice any signs that it is moving
- It smells like lightning, and there are discarded experiments all over the place. With gutted warforged littered around
- The workshop is bigger on the inside
- Sylword and Bucket notice mechanical beings doing maintanace further down the hall. Cleaning after someone that doesn't like cleaning up after themselves
- They see a medical bay like area, where something is being transported out of (to a section further down)
- There is a medical table with legs and syringes, and a doctor golem with syringes for hands
- Scribes notices that she is still connected to Arnini, and he is keeping tabs on us
- She pulls her hood over her head and informs the others that she think someone is tapping into her visual feed
- Void uses Detect Magic to see what kind of magic this is. He doesn't see anything that he hasn't seen on her before
- We decide she should keep the hood over her head and see through the projection of her book
- Coty asks if Arnini is able to listen to us, Bucket decides that he isn't because Arnini doesn't doesn't repeat something Bucket asked hi to do
- We decide to mostly use Telepathic bond to communicate
- Coty tries to make Arnini turn the audio off by screeching into Scribes ear, but fails because bald eagles sounds like seagulls
- The screech echoes through the halls announcing our presence
- The medical bots start heading towards us
- We fly upwards towards the roof, over the bots, Sylword is still flying on Coty
- Void holds Scribes' hand to guide her so she doesn't crash without vision
- Salath starts parkouring, and lets Bucket know that she can stall them if we need her to
- The medical bot is still able to shoot Coty, but she resists the dizzying effect
- We enter a 50 ft tall chamber with railways on the sides
- In the centre of a circular quare is a brain in a jar
- Arnini speaks through Scribes again, telling us that we have arrived just in time. He wants to show us that "these new bodies" are much better than our old ones. He wants us to enter the experiment area
- The medical droids are still after us, so Salanth goes to take care of them
- As we rush in, we see five mechanical creatures that look similar to us, except one. Void's double looks like a female younger version of Void
- Bucket's and Scribes' seems to be broken
- Arnini keeps talking, introducing Coty to the CotyBot, which starts to move.
- Everytime Arnini speaks, the brain in a jar glows slightly
- EagleCoty flies over and pecks CotyBot, but the attack is less effective than she would expect
- Arnini summon his "AssistantBots"
- Scribes wonders if it is Void's sister, but he tells us that he used to be a human, and he knows where his sister is. So this is not her
- Knowing that she is not hurting Void's sister, she casts Fireball on SylwordBot, FemaleVoid, BrainArnini and BucketBot
- The brain tries to dodge by lifting into the air, but fails
- The AssistantBots swarm over to Coty, dazing her
- CotyBot speaks with Coty's voice, mentioning that he can access Scribes' memory files. The bot turns into a massive mechanical baby seal, which promptly restrains Sylword and Coty by jumping 20 ft in the air and landing on top of them (this knocks Coty back to her normal form)
- Void one-shots 7 AssistantBots with Shatter
- Bucket flies as fast as he can and knocks the seal off of Coty and Sylword. It looks incredibly sad, making him miss his next attack
- The seal uses Weaponized Sadness (Psycic Strike), it was super effective
- Sylword notices that there is something fuzzy about the Locate Creature spell. It is pointing in several directions (Baby seal, brain in a jar and further into the hall)
- Sylword kills the seal with his spiritual weapon, leaving it a smoldering heap of metal. The SylwordBot starts powering up
- Coty turns herself into a baby seal, to show Arnini that the real deal is cuter. She looks adorable, posing towards Scribes to show Arnini through Scribes' eyes
- Arnini summons 10 more AssistantBots ("AutoBots")
- Scribes tries to cast another fireball, but Arnini takes control of her (charm) and makes her move it over to the area where the entire rest of the party is clustered
- Sylword is attacked by the AutoBots, feeling like they're sucking something out of him before it abruptly stops
- Void spends some time inspecting Scribes with Detect Magic, but is stumped (rolled really badly)
- Bucket runs over to the brain jar, breaking open the lid and shoves it over with his shield
- Arnini tries to convince Bucket to stop, saying he is suffocating and dying
- The jar manages to right itself, with a quarter of the liquid left
- Sylword casts his Spirit Guardians (ghostly winged sonnlinors), including Scribes as an ally
- As he is opportunity attacked by the AutoBots, he feels himself lose a first level spell slot
- SylwordBot finishes powering up. It is wearing an apron, and holding a frying pan shield and a knife
- Arnini presents it as ChefSylword, thinking fondly of the cooking lessions Sylword gave him
- SylwordBot casts Bless on the bots and the jar. Arnini keeps narrating what the "Chef hero" does
- Coty rushes into the next room
- More autobots are summoned
- Coty notices that the massive sylinder by her pulses with light when Arnini speaks
- Scribes (being controlled) casts Disintegrate on Sylword, which he manages to deflect into the ceiling (It would have dealt 77 dmg, and killed Sylword beyond the point of ressurection...)
- I may have only been looking at the damage numbers, and forgot about the "disintegrate" part of Disintegration when casting the spell....
- I have never been more happy about a spell ending up doing nothing!

Haha what an end of a session! And I love that you forgot about the disintegrate part and realized what you had just done afterwards XD
