A high pitched whine feels the dark raining night outside. With Brokk living in the gear shop it sounds familiar. Almost saw-like.

As the group discusses where and who to possibly talk to, the door is slammed open and a dwarf falls into the room. His chest is barely moving, blood coming down the side of his face. He coughs and looks down, pulling his hand away from it. One large gash across his chest. More blood comes into his mouth and his head falls. The dwarf's eyes stare at the group but he is not moving and they seem to glaze over.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 36):
Thinking that the Dwarf has already expired, Brokk rushes over to the door where he entered and looks outside to see what he can see.

PM

Bucko is thinking of his answer when the problem starts, he had just closed his eyes to think when he heard a noise, he hoped up and took a step and realized his musket was still where he had left it.......

He moves to both retrieve and load it.

"What the what!"

Brokk looks surpised and with his back to the wall by the door, he tells them what he sees and lets the group know one of their sawblades was covered in blood-most likely from the dead dwarf! And theres two of them about 30' away in the dark, rainy night.

 Vermina draws a card and mutters to it then holds it out. The card glows before a Giant Spider appears before the Rat girl.

Vermina cast "Summon Monster II"

Vermina casts her spell conjuring a giant spider.

Brokk draws his kurki and glances out.

Xander looks out, eyes narrowed and he decides to cast a spell upon Brokk, resting a hand over his shoulder and then the half-orc dissapears! "Move quick and move fast. They will not see you."

Bucko grabs his gun, loads it and (assuming he does) readies himself in the window, knocking it open providing himself cover!

Both constructs stand there about 30', and one of them starts up his sawblade. The other gets to the doorway, sawblade engaged and he doesn't see anyone within range not aware of Brock being invisible. Its the whole intimidating thing.

Taking a deep breath, he casts a spell as two small bolts of energy fly out and connect with the construct! "Construct! Its immune to all mind issues! And disease, poison, sleep....and electricity is the key!" Looks like being knowledgeable is a good thing! He can keep going but he's only got 6 seconds! The elf backs away 20'.

The half-orc re-appears and goes to sink his blade into the construct! But he misses his mark!

14:28, Today: Gamemaster, on behalf of Brokk Grunk, rolled 10 using 1d20+7.  Attack!

Everyone within the tavern is taking cover, throwing up their tables in defense. The barkeep pulls out a club "What in blazes!" He remains behind the bar. Its a good thing that most of the tables are about 15' from the main door.

 Vermina knew the spider would vanish soon, but ordered it to get one last action in before it was done. The Ratling then drew and threw another card, returning like before.

Vermina throws her card, hitting the construct!

The spider moves towards it and bites it causing some minor damage.

Brock swings his blade, hitting some of its gears!

Getting within 30', Xander focuses on his quarterstaff and it starts to float and flies at the construct connecting with it!

(ROUND 1) Bucko gets his gun and loads it.
(ROUND 2) The goblin fires the gun at the construct! He then reloads it!

The construct breaks free from the entanglement!

The other construct moves through the rain and darkness and stops at a window.

Bucko fires at the construct approaching hoping to hit something vital, he is in position for a point blank shot...he takes careful aim and nothing happens...

Sucking it up he decides to try and get things back into working order...(reloading)

"Might want to try and get into some defensive positions somewhere."

The ratling decides to throw her card but it only gets about 5' and returns to her hand.

Slash goes Brokk's blade, hitting the construct again!

The staff returns to Xander and he throws it again! It sinks into the construct, and the construct seems to be badly damaged!

The goblin fires and the charge doesn't work. He is able to get it to not be stuck but its empty.

The construct uses its sawblade against Brokk! It sinks into the half-orc's chest!
*Take 10 Damage Brokk

The other construct uses its bladed and saws through the window sending shards all over the place!

 Vermina is hoping to stop one of these at least, but there seems to be at least 1 more after this. She drew and threw a card again.

16:13, Today: Vermina Longtail rolled 19 using 1d20+6.  Card throw to hit.

The witch tosses the card, getting it just right. It steps back and falls to the ground. Its eyes that were glowing slowly fall into darkness.

Bucko fires into the construct standing outside! Another hit.

Brokk's attack hit him in the leg!

The mage throws the quarterstaff out and attempts to smack it! It connects!

It turns towards the rogue and goes to slice him up with its sawblade but it hits the side of the window and slices part of the wall slightly!

The tavern owner starts to push people out the back of the inn, holding his club. He seems angry at all of this! His pub! Son of a....
