With word that some of the Arena regulars leaving, it has fallen to the Adventurers guild to offer up the chance to fill the holes. The city needs entertainment to relieve the troubles of its populace, and of course you were all offered gold as a reward.
You find yourselves waiting in the edge of the arena as the announcer prepares the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen! Today we have three challengers for your entertainment! They all have dabbled in the arcane, so we are going to match them with an arcane monstrosity of our own!"
The crowd of course cheers and makes all the appropriate noises. Then the doors on the other side of the arena open and a giant walks out. Well, it looked like a giant at first, but as it steps into the sunlight you can see lots of stitching on the exposed flesh of the thing, and its eyes are a very dull dead color.
Munch eyes the opponent, more curious than worried. "So, what, it's a giant zombie, or something? It -is- okay if I break it, right?"
GAME: Munch rolls knowledge/arcana: (6)+9: 15
GAME: Zalara rolls knowledge/arcana: (14)+13: 27
You paged Zalara with 'Flesh Golem'
GAME: Valadhiel rolls knowledge/arcana: (15)+15: 30
You paged (Zalara, Valadhiel) with 'Flesh Golem, Immune to any magic that suffers spell resistance'
Zalara still isn't sure how she got roped into this. She thought the posting was to help out in the dreaded Fel Forest that a lot of the other adventurers have been going to and brining back tales of weirdness from. Giant wasps, diseased gnolls, some woman called the Blue Bitch. She looks around at the crowd and she has her death ray out. She takes a look at the golem and wrinkles her nose, "Ew a flesh golem." She flicks the switch on her death ray from electricity to cold.
The announcer speaks, "Look at them! They already are afraid and using thier magics to protect themselves!" The crowd laughs a bit, "Alright, leeeettts get ready to ruuuuuummmble!!"
At that the golem starts as if just commanded. It lets out a hoarse roar and begins to move.
Zalara reaches to activate one of her contraptions. It's a bracelet that she wears around her wrist. It's gold with small blue gems in it. The gems light up a pale blue and one of them starts to dim, slowly.
GAME: Zalara casts Shield.
Valadhiel arches a brow at the announcement, then glances calmly at Munch, "Shouldn't be a zombie, as that would be a violation of the Academy accords." She smiles a little, murmuring to herself, "Ah, don't bother with attack spells then... except for a few that might work." A wry expression crosses her face, as she quickly murmurs an incantation, a flickering shield forming around herself as she looks at the golem. "this is going to be... interesting."
Munch points at the announcer as he draws his axe. "Don't make me come up there. Wouldn't be the first time I gave a loudmouth an education."

GAME: Valadhiel casts Fireball.
<OOC> Tak says, "Roll the damage"
<OOC> Valadhiel says, "Well, for a golem..."
<OOC> Tak says, "Or is that a spell resist?"
<OOC> Tak says, "What spells ARENT spell resists?"
<OOC> Valadhiel says, "Conjurations, typically. This is a fire spell, tho'. :)"
<OOC> Tak says, "Yes, it will slow him"

<OOC> Munch says, "Okay, rage, swift foot, charge. Base 30, barbarin +10, Swift foot +5, for a total movement of 90, I think."
<OOC> Tak says, "That will put you right below him. That good?"
<OOC> Munch says, "that should be fine."
<OOC> Tak says, "Make your attack"
GAME: Munch rolls 1d20+8+2+2: (16)+8+2+2: 28
<OOC> Tak says, "Hit!"
GAME: Munch rolls 1d12+8: (2)+8: 10
<OOC> Tak says, "What weapon are you using?"
<OOC> Munch says, "Greataxe"
Valadhiel keeps her bow in her hand, moving up with the others as she flanks Munch, "Here, let me do this now, before you get too close." She grins slightly, then murmurs a string of arcane syllables, tossing a spark at the golem. Immediately, the golem seems to explode in fire, though it looks actually unhurt by the ordeal.
<OOC> Tak says, "Magic or anything?"
<OOC> Munch says, "It's a +1"
<OOC> Tak says, "Ok, doesnt get past his DR"
<OOC> Tak says, "So 5 damage! now Zal!"
<OOC> Zalara says, "Run up to V30"
<OOC> Tak says, "Anything else?"
<OOC> Zalara says, "can't"
<OOC> Tak says, "Ok, Val"
<OOC> Zalara says, "had to run"
The announcer chuckles "These are some crafty adventurers! They know thier opponent well and have managed to slow him down with that fireball! That isn't enough to stop him though, and these things hit hard!"
The golem walks forward now, small bits of thread on his stitches burning slightly as he stalks towards your group. As Munch runs up the crowd cheers when he hits the golem with the axe, but the arcane creature seems to be only minorly annoyed by the activity.
Zalara sees Munch spring up to the golem and attack it. She doesn't want to be left behind and she hurries to keep up after him. She judges the distance and stops where she believe it will be relatively safe.
Munch nods absently to Valadhiel, waiting for the fleshie to clear the flames. Crouching slightly, the war golem flexes, special bladders pumping a potent mix of toxic chemicals into his muscles. Tendons creak, bones vibrate, a steam starts to rise from his metallic skin. An instnt later, and he launches foreward as if from a catapult, clawed feet digging into the areana floor, bright curve of his axe swinging thru the air to thunk with a soild hit into the animated flesh. To somewhat less effect than perhaps Munch was hopeing. "...huh. This.... might be difficult."
<OOC> Valadhiel moves forward 30' to N31 and... actually, I'll take a sniper shot at the critter. :)
<OOC> Valadhiel says, "Just plink with the longbow."
<OOC> Tak says, "Roll"

<OOC> Tak says, "Minor damage!"
<OOC> Tak says, "Golem will turn and try to hit Munch"
GAME: Tak rolls 1d20+13: (7)+13: 20
Valadhiel moves forward, though she lags behind the other two, nocking an arrow as she moves. She raises her bow and fires, the arrow thudding into the arm of the golem, but not really doing much more than that.
<<OOC> Tak says, "Zalara, you might want to equip something, your ac is horrible :)"
<OOC> Tak says, "Munch is up again"
<OOC> Munch says, "Full attack. Axe+1 and adamantine bite."
GAME: Munch rolls 1d20+8+2: (15)+8+2: 25
GAME: Munch rolls 1d20+7+2-5: (18)+7+2+-5: 22
The golem swings at Munch, but only manages to hit air. The little arrow from Val just plinking off its magicaly hardned flesh and only leaving a scratch.
The crowd cheers as everyone struggles, the noise rising and falling with each blow and miss.
<OOC> Tak says, "Two hits"
GAME: Munch rolls 1d12+8: (2)+8: 10
GAME: Munch rolls 1d6+5: (6)+5: 11
<OOC> Tak says, "Bite is adamatine weapon?"
<OOC> Munch's axe is not rolling well. And yes, adamintine teeth.
<OOC> Tak says, "Cool! 16 total damage now!"
<OOC> Tak says, "Zal"
<OOC> Zalara says, "Swift Action: Activate Titan armor +4 dex style. Aim and fire death ray: Cold setting at Golem."
<OOC> Tak says, "Ok!"

<OOC> Tak says, "Hit"
<OOC> Tak says, "Roll damage!"
GAME: Zalara rolls 3d6+4: (9)+4: 13
Munch buzzes like an angry chainsaw, his axe cutting a little more flesh. But then the wargolem opens his maw, bright adamantine teeth shineing a moment before sinking into golem flesh, several chunks ripping free with a metallic shriek.
<OOC> Zalara says, "He need to roll a fort save against DC 17 or be staggered and roll for more cold damage slowification"
GAME: Tak rolls 1d20+3: (16)+3: 19
<OOC> Tak says, "HE saves vs stagger"
GAME: Tak rolls 2d6: (11): 11
<OOC> Tak says, "Does death ray deal with DR or not?"
<OOC> Zalara says, "It's magic with no spell resistance."
<OOC> Tak says, "Ok, 13 damage"
<OOC> Tak says, "Val"
<OOC> Valadhiel moves to T31 and casts haste on herself and her teammates. :)
GAME: Valadhiel casts Haste.
<OOC> Zalara says, "At least I don't think it has spell resistance."
<OOC> Tak says, "It ignores it, I've read that"
<OOC> Zalara says, "I couldn't find it on the artificer's page"
<OOC> Tak says, "Ok, cast the spell val, I need poses from Zal on the blast"
GAME: Tak rolls 1d20+12: (16)+12: 28
GAME: Tak rolls 2d8+5: (15)+5: 20
<OOC> Tak says, "Golem hits munch hard"
GAME: Tak damaged Munch for 20 points. 49 remaining.
<OOC> Tak says, "Munch is up"
Valadhiel moves forward at a brisk pace, though she seems content to let her teammates attract the slowed golem's attention. Meanwhile, she casts another spell, feeling herself and her allies moving much faster and hitting with more accuracy.
Zalara activates her titan armor. The octagon metal backpack that she wears starts to lights up around the edges and starts to open up. Metal bands come out of the back pack and starts to wrap around her torso. They slide down her limbs and over her head and face forming a protective shell around her. She levels her death ray at the Flesh Golem and she pulls the trigger. A icy cold blast of magical energy bursts forth from the death ray and hits the Flesh Golem hard. It coats the outside of the Flesh Golem in a fine coating of frost that will continue to slow the monstrosity down.
<OOC> Munch says, "Full attack. Axe, axe, bite. haste is +1 to attack rolls, yes?"
<OOC> Zalara says, "Yes"
GAME: Munch rolls 1d20+11: (7)+11: 18
GAME: Munch rolls 1d20+11: (13)+11: 24
GAME: Munch rolls 1d20+5: (20)+5: 25
GAME: Munch rolls 1d20+5: (18)+5: 23
The crowd seems to be enjoying the show, and they gasp as the artifacers ray hits the golem with a blast of cold. The creature utters one of is hoarse roars and swings a hand to slam against Munch. The crowd cheering as the golem finally makes a decient show of things.
The announcer calls out "Ohh! Did you see that folks! Well it looks like this group may have the advantage now, but our friend here isn't going down without making a few good hits!"
<OOC> Munch says, "I think I can crit on a bite...."
<OOC> Tak says, "Sure"
<OOC> Tak says, "The 18 missed"
GAME: Munch rolls 1d12+8: (2)+8: 10

GAME: Zalara rolls 3d6+4: (7)+4: 11
<OOC> Tak says, "Wait..."
<OOC> Tak says, "You have that discovery right?"
<OOC> Tak says, "The one that lets you take the extra death ray attacks?"
<OOC> Zalara says, "Have which discovery? I'm hasted. I get an extra attack"
<OOC> Tak says, "Not with death ray"
<OOC> Tak says, "Its a special discovery to do two death rays"
<OOC> Tak says, "Or multiple"
<OOC> Zalara aws.
Munch was already quick, but the magical enhancement turns the golem to something just plain scary. His axe flies, skipping off tick skin once before making another shallow cut. But his Maw of Terror latches onto a joint, ripping away flesh and into the tendon below.
<OOC> Tak says, "Normally even with multiple attacks you only get 1 death ray. Fast Death Ray discovery at level 8 will let you take more than 1 attack."
<OOC> Tak says, "So going with the first hit, 14"
<OOC> Tak says, "Pose it, and Vals up"
<OOC> Valadhiel will rapid shot with the hasty.

<OOC> Tak says, "And he is down, pose it up"
<OOC> Valadhiel woos. :)
<OOC> Zalara says, "It needs to make another fort save"
<OOC> Munch says, "Moot point, I think"
Zalara stays right where she is and she keeps her aim on the Golem. She fires again once the death ray has been recharged and she hits it again with another blast of cold energy.
Valadhiel takes careful aim, smiling to herself as... well, the wizard might claim that such gladiatorial fights are beneath the dignity of a member of the Academy... the truth is, she clearly is enjoying herself. She launches a volley of arrows at the golem, the first one sinking into its chest, the second bouncing off its thick hide... and the last skewering it in the eyesocket, causing it to spark and twitch.
The creature falls to the ground with a loud thud, kicking up dust from the arena floor. The crowd cheers as the adventurers make quick work of the creature, it took less than a minute for you to rush in and deal the final blow.
The announcer calls out "Well well well, it looks like our arcane construct was no match for these mighty warriors, I have to say that the biting was definatly not expected! Next time we will have to send more! But for today, we are done and our new champions are victorious!"
The cheering dies down as the crowd starts talking amongst themselves now, the next battle after a brief intermission. The door you came in on opens, and a man inside gestures for you to return.
Zalara immediately deactivates her armor and she whews as she feels a wave of fatigue wash over her. She looks at the frozen golem and she shakes her head a bit before she moves over to Munch. "Hello again Munch. It's been sometime since we have last spoke. It seems you have a bite new set of chompers."
Munch glances towards the anouncer again, mildly susprised. "Really? That's kinda what I -do-." A greenish cloud hisses from internal vents, a side ffect of his former over-drive state. With a shrug, the war golem rips his axe free of the fallen construct, pulling loose a piece of ripped flesh to nibble as he heads back to the Green Room. He nods to Zalara along the way. "Kinda. Same material underneath, but this awesome druid guy put a coating on them for me. Also did some work on my claws, but didn't need them today."
Valadhiel nods, "Well, that was... an interesting way to return to the city, I must admit." She shrugs towards the other two, "Well met, by the by."
<OOC> Tak says, "Ok, that went much faster than I anticipated, but ohh well! Thanks for playing. You recieve your reward and so on and so forth :)"
