I have a wicked battle axe.

I have an axe too!

As do I, so I guess we're going to find out who is weak to axes!

Okay, so it looks like we currently have 6 kinds of monsters in our way --

Mech Pilot
Fiendish Mech Pilot
Blue Mage
Fiendish Mage
Blue Wolf Rider
Wolf Rider

Tailbone reported last night that Blue Mages did not do any damage reduction ("shrug off X damage like it didn't even happen") when it came to ray guns.

Instead of trying to kill them outright, we could just hit each type of monster and see which ones don't resist certain weapons?

Okay! I'm going to try and hit both wolf riders (normal and fiendish) and report back.

Wolf Rider:
Alecia does 10 damage to Wolf Rider, but it shrugs off 3 damage as if it never happened.

Blue Wolf Rider:
I missed 4 times in a row, then - Alecia does 16 damage to Blue Wolf Rider, but it shrugs off 7 damage as if it never happened.

I'll go hit some mechs! *straps on protective gear*

Kim does 18 damage to Fiendish Mech-Pilot Goblin
Kim does 13 damage to Mech-Pilot Goblin, but it shrugs off 4 damage as if it never happened.

Oooh those slippery wolf riders! They are too fast!

I found an axe-weak critter though.

Wolf riders (Base, not sure bout higher) Don't shrug off attacks from rapiers.

Awesome! Shall we go and kill a Fiendish Mech-Pilot Goblin, or shall we test the mages for axe resistance as well while we're waiting for more defenders to join us?

Sanne swings their heavy battle axe and lands a solid blow. Sanne does 8 damage to Fiendish Goblin Mage
Sanne does 11 damage to Blue Goblin Mage, but it shrugs off 6 damage as if it never happened.

Thanks Lorvilran!

So far we know:

Blue Mage - weak to ray gun
Fiendish goblin mage - weak to battle axe
Wolf Rider - weak to rapier
Fiendish mech pilot - weak to battle axe

Is 3 enough people to bring down the fiendish mech?

It's got 400 HP, we can each realistically hit it less than 10 times in the round... So that's 15 - 30 hits with a battle axe... *goes to look up how much damage axes do*

So the max damage we could do per hit is 16, if both the two dice rolled eights. But let's assume they both roll "average", so 4 per die or 8 per hit.

If we each hit half the time... we'll do 40 damage each in a round.

We need way more people to join us, or a handful more people who roll really well

I'm not at full health so I may get knocked down easily.

I also have a pineapple grenade! Don't know where that came from

How did we end up with so many mechs, anyway? I am guessing we were just killing the easier monsters from each wave, and then leaving the mechs, so they piled up over many different waves?

What're the stats on your grenade?

Probably! I'm guessing we weren't able to kill them cause of a lack of weapons and a lack of organized fighting.

My grenade's stats arrrrrrrrre:

Pull the pin and throw for explosive results.

Damage type: All
Attack bonus: 10
Damage Dice: 6d8
Damage Bonus: 5
Crit Threshold: 20
Crit Multiplier: 3

This is quite the pickle.

Okay so 48 max on a grenade, or up to 144 if it crits. Thooooose could be really helpful for mechs! That's the full expected average damage someone could do to them in a round, in one hit. Or more with a crit!

Awww yeeaahhhh! Are we going to raid this mother?

I really want to, but we probably need a few more people. Loren is volunteering a ray gun to help also, even though some of that damage will get soaked, so there's one more.

Edit: I'm also at half health! Ouch.
