Chapter 2: Friendly Fractal Fruit Farmers

[PhaedrusXY]

"Well, let's see if it blocks possession." Kyx says.

[spoiler]He tries to possess Talon, Will DC 19 if you want to resist.[/spoiler]

[VennDygrem]

Talon's threat detection systems kick online. He and Kyx hear the suit say, "Warning! Foreign presence detected! Initiating Anti-Usurpation Sequences..."

[spoiler]Will Save: 1d20(17)+10=27

I'm partly doing it to maintain character, and partly because Talon's not really a melee guy and might not be your best bet anyway.

I suppose you could always just keep trying. [/spoiler]

[PhaedrusXY]

I suppose you could always just keep trying. [/spoiler]

I'm not sure I could, actually. The Magic Jar spell says:
[spoiler]

Failure to take over the host leaves your life force in the magic jar, and the target automatically succeeds on further saving throws if you attempt to possess its body again.

[/spoiler]"Well... I guess that answers that question. It certainly seems like an advanced unit.

I could always just go in with this suit on. I'd like to have someone else as a fallback, in case it gets destroyed, though. So mind if I possess you temporarily, Sabot? Then if my suit gets destroyed, I will automatically go back into you, instead of... well..."

[The_Mad_Linguist]

You could try, but I'm not entirely certain how likely it is that you'll succeed.

[PhaedrusXY]

"Well... if you don't resist it would certainly make it easier..."

[PhaedrusXY]

Not getting a reply, Kyx decides to just try possessing Sabot and see what happens.

[spoiler]It's time to take Leadership or something... Or retcon trading out the familiar, if you're ok with that Kuro.[/spoiler]

[The_Mad_Linguist]

Sabot doesn't resist, but
[spoiler]nothing happens.[/spoiler]

Screw it, let's do this.  Leeeroy jeeenkins!

Sabot fires off his dimension door, bringing the agreed upon two others.

[spoiler]It's time to take Leadership or something... Or retcon trading out the familiar, if you're ok with that Kuro.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]What'd you trade it out for? I wouldn't mind, as long as it happened after you're finished with Douglas Farm. Have you considered using Planar Binding again or something? [/spoiler]

[PhaedrusXY]

Sabot doesn't resist, but
[spoiler]nothing happens.[/spoiler]

Screw it, let's do this.  Leeeroy jeeenkins!

Sabot fires off his dimension door, bringing the agreed upon two others.

[spoiler]You can bring Kyx too, if you weren't including him.

And how is Sabot immune to Magic Jar, if you don't mind me asking? Is he a half-raven? [/spoiler]

[Kuroimaken]

And once inside...

[spoiler]There's a huge rock and it's staring at you!

Kidding.

The place looks like a major mess. Mostly from the hastily assembled barricade. Inside, you see what looks like a blue-skinned orc and a man in a scientist labcoat over a suit. This guy is balding, and he seems to have a vicious-looking wound on his right arm. They're both unconscious, though the orc is leaning against the wall while the balding man is face-first on the floor.[/spoiler]

[VennDygrem]

Talon asks the Away Team, "So... what do you guys see in there? What's going on?"

[Flay Crimsonwind]

"The fact that I don't hear screaming is both a disappointment and a relief. Who set up the damn barricade, and how long to get it down?" He is rather relaxed sounding, probably a nice aspect from having been a paladin soldier. He's just looking down the hallway calmly, hand next to his pistol, keeping one ear open for his surroundings.

[spoiler]Eh, listen check, for the hell of it: 12
Meeeh![/spoiler]

[The_Mad_Linguist]

Two guys here, some sort of blue orc and a scientist with an injury.  We'll start taking down the barricade before we revive them; would be best to make sure we aren't helping an enemy up.

[Solo]

(What check is it to break down the barricade?)

[Prime32]

(What check is it to break down the barricade?)

[spoiler]Eren can have up to 30 Str if necessary.[/spoiler]

[Kuroimaken]

(What check is it to break down the barricade?)

It's a STR check.

[Solo]

"Hey Ehren, shall we get this thing down?"

Since Ehren has higher STR, Fistbeard will just assist. (If we can take 10, we won't even have to roll for this one)

[Kuroimaken]

With enough people and enough strength, it's not that difficult to move the barricade out of the way. Apparently, whoever had the idea of setting this up meant to hold back considerably weaker opponents than seasoned adventurers.

[Prime32]

"Well," says Eren, as she enters with a grin, "are we going to interrogate these gentlemen?"

Eren extends her hand and a fleshy mass starts to grow out from it, changing colour and shape until it becomes a pair of chairs.

"Sit them down, if they get violent I'll restrain them." She winks.
[spoiler]Dismissing Alternate Form, using Mimic Shape and hat of disguise to keep one part of Eren's body in humanoid appearance.[/spoiler]

[Kuroimaken]

They look too unconscious to interrogate.
