[[Shawanti|Bee]] joined [[Dread]] on [[Echbos]] and bloodied him, and Dread made his intent explicit: he is not out to subdue Echbos the way he usually does with monsters, he means to kill him. Echbos took the hit, moved off, and vanished again. [[Grumblebum|Grumble]] opened the door into a burst of the [[Quadruped Construct|Quadruped]]'s fire that [[Zuhri]] dodged, then caught the construct moving and landed a 48-damage reactive strike that bloodied it again after its self-repair, and it answered with a DC 23 Reflex mortar burst. [[Ashnefrotty|Ash]] and Zuhri cleared the last two [[Dreshkans]] off [[Gears]], who was 16 damage from death and still frothing: he made his will save, growled at Ash instead of attacking, and went south. [[Vayle]] healed [[Jaspen Bond Callistair|Bond]], and Ash caught a glimpse of something new happening in the southern rooms without seeing what. > Round 9 belonged to Bond. The Quadruped out-ranged him again for 14 fire and 11 bludgeoning and dropped yet another Rifler, so he spent his action investigating instead of shooting and identified the thing as a **rupture cascade**, learning how to temporarily undermine its defenses and bypass its resistances. Grumble and then Ash and Zuhri each killed a Rifler, Dread and Bee ran south after Echbos, and the construct closed the session by pulling open [[Volluk Azrinae|Volluk]]'s door, showing him both the wreck of his project and the allies who had made it: he looked horrified and shut the door hurriedly. ^summary %% ## Video [Video]() %% --- ## Recap ![[ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers/129_20260912 Leave This One to Me#^summary]] --- ## Log ![[1788084572880 - Combat#Round 8]] Round 8 cleared the north rooms. Bee and Dread worked Echbos down to bloodied before he slipped away and disappeared again, and Dread said plainly that he intends to kill him rather than subdue him. The Dreshkans nearly finished Gears before Ash and Zuhri killed the last two off him, and Gears made his will save, growled at Ash, and left south. Grumble opened the door into the Quadruped's fire, moved into position, and then hit it for 48 on a reactive strike as it moved, bloodying it again even after its self-repair. ![[1788084572880 - Combat#Round 9]] Round 9 was short and mostly setup, but it gave the party the thing it has been missing. Bond stopped shooting and investigated instead, identified the construct as a rupture cascade, and worked out how to temporarily strip its defenses and bypass its resistances. Grumble and then Ash and Zuhri each killed a Rifler while the Quadruped kept hitting Bond from out of reach, and the session ended with the construct pulling open Volluk's door and showing him what the party had done to his project. %% ## Excalidraw Data ### Text Elements ### Drawing ```json {"type":"excalidraw","version":2,"source":"https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/releases/tag/2.0.25","elements":[],"appState":{"theme":"dark","gridSize":null,"viewBackgroundColor":"#ffffff"}} ``` %%
