"My friend Uthraed, I'm not sure that even I am capable of jumping at 15 feet from the boat even with boost. Not speaking about you with all your gear, no offence. Let's wait till our companions manage to open the door. And only then 1 or 2 of us will get beneath the crate."
Gringo will get onto the ledge when the door is open without drawing back musket, so he'll ask for a hand up (holding the musket in another hand)
Am I right that there is 15 feet up from the boat to the whole?

"Anyone happen to have a crowbar? It would do wonders to pry this door open." With that Mr Peppers will attempt to assist in forcing the door open.

Assist: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15

Mūn seems to be left to handle the dingy as everyone else attempts to open the door in one manner or another. "Keep up the good work, you're doing great," he calls (softly) as he tries to keep the small boat positioned for everyone's efforts.

That's probably true I don't know it seems like the door is the same height as the warehouse but I could be wrong. If I can't get in I'll just stay in the boat until the door is open that ledge is getting crowded.

Gealdn attempts to push the door open with the assistance of Grummosh and Mr. Peppers, but with no luck.

Gringo, you are correct. The hole is approximately 15ft from the boat.

Does the door look particularly sturdy? I'll take 10 on any useful check to tell.

"Keep at it, the door can't be tougher than the three of us together can it?" Mr Peppers will try to get us all on the same page and keep working on the door, taking 10 on the assist check to Gealdn.

strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Aarrghh

"Where's the muscle big man? I hope you don't swing that hammer thing the same way you push on a door!" As Mr Peppers continues to strain against the door.

The corners of Mūn's mouth begin to curl upward as he watches this attempt to open a door. Is this what the Pathfinders have become?

Well I think the big man should take 20 since we have some time.

I was about to do that anyway. Since it will help speed things along.

Gealdn takes 20 on the roll. Grummosh and Mr. Peppers assisting.

With a mighty shove, the door lurches to the side with a loud snap, as the plank holding the door shut breaks in half.

Darkness fills the warehouse, the ambient light from outside blocked by a filthy, oily film on the structure’s few windows. Darting illumination comes from light reflecting off the water through a splintered hole in the floor. Throughout the warehouse, crates, boxes, and barrels lean against each other in vaguely sorted stacks.

A lingering smell indicates some of the contents are certainly spoiled. Perched in the middle of the hole, teetering on split planks, sits a large crate stamped with three crows arranged in a triangle. Handholds cut into the stout wooden crate ring the rim. Other barrels, boxes, and crates sit stacked along the walls of the warehouse. Just inside the door sits a handful of crates and kegs of beer. Most of these smaller crates and barrels contain foodstuffs in various states of freshness. Some crates reek of rot. Stacks of simple coffins sit against the east wall. The rest of the crates stacked along the north and south walls contain simple sundries including, but not limited to beer, blocks of clay, coffee, coils of rope, dried fish, lead ingots, nails, nets, raw cotton, rough wool, spare sails, timber planks, various pulleys and tools, and cheap weapons.

A crane, used for loading and unloading boats, clings to a rail running the length of the warehouse, hanging 5 feet below the high ceiling, and can slide out to extend past the loading doors along the west wall.

The edges of the hole are dangerous and anyone stepping into one of the squares around the hole must make a Acrobatics check or risk collapsing the floor further—and spilling the crate into the water. In addition, these squares count as difficult terrain due to their precarious nature. PCs succeeding at a higher Acrobatics check can ignore the difficult terrain and move through the squares normally.

I will place the Tokens Accordingly. If you hovering in the water, just assume you are still in the boat. Any movement that takes you through the red dotted lines are difficult terrain and requires the acrobatics checks

Mūn will climb up into the last stable footing inside the door. "Someone will need to stay behind in the boat while we figure out how to get this crate out of here." He looks to the other people in the room. "Do you think it will be easier to send it out this door with that crane, or should we try to drop it into the boat through the hole?" He'll examine the crane to see if he can figure out its workings.

Token updated

As Mun gets out of the boat Uthraed does not follow instead he calls up to him.
"I will stay with the boat and steer it under the hole to catch anything, or anyone, that may come falling through. Just call through the hole if you need me."

Uthraed maneuvers the craft under the hole being careful not to position himself directly under the crate lest it falls on him.

Mr Peppers reaches into his belt pouch and pulls out a piece of cloth and wipes his brow, then returns it to the pouch. After a quick look into the warehouse he begins hunting around his feet and picks up a small piece of scrap wood. He speaks in a strong Elven voice:

The piece of wood glows with light as a torch might. He then takes a step forward and places the piece of wood on top of the crate closest to the hole in the floor.

"Now lets make sure this room is safe and secure before we get to work on this crate, who knows what could be lurking in this place. I like the idea of trying to use that crane on it if we can Mun. Good plan Uthraed with the boat, careful that thing doesn't sink the boat if it falls."

Gringo leaves the boat and after a moment of thinking suggests:
"Let's use crane to send it through the hole into the boat. I think i'll manage to get to the crate."

Gealdn looks at the hole arround the chest. I will find something to strengthen the flor.
Starts looking arround for some planke, or something else that might workshop.

"Gealdn, there are some planks and nails along the north wall if I'm seeing that right. Have a look around while you're up there to make sure we aren't going to get surprised by anything. I'll cover you from here."

With that Mr Peppers pulls the light crossbow off his back and loads up a bolt and begins to climb atop a nearby crate for a better view. Take 10 on all necessary skill checks: climb +0, perception +2

ok,i will

Ok everyone else is up. Post you actions and will resolve them in order of initiative once everyone has posted.

Grummosh calls upon the spirits to Bless the party and moves further into the warehouse.

+1 at/saves vs charm/fear for everyone!

It sounds like they are under attack. I don't want to move the boat in case the fighting knocks the crate into the water, but what if they need me.
"What's going on up there, do you need my help?" Uthraed hollers.

Mūn moves through and around the party so as to have an unimpeded shot at the rats. (one square NW, 1 square N through Grummosh's square, 2 squares NE: 25' total, token updated)

He fires at the closest rat. (Red)

Longbow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 7 (Point Blank Shot & Bless)

"Don't worry, Uthraed. Just some rats"
Gringo makes a step back (5-foot), draws his musket (which is already loaded)(as a move action) and shots at the closet for him rat.(Blue)/(standart action)
Musket (against touch AC): 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 20 (Point Blank-Shot, Bless, Deadly Aim, Precise Shot - i don't have it))

"Rats! Vile vermin chewing a hole in my robe, not to mention my leg! Get these damn things off me!

Mr Peppers flails at the rats to try to keep them away while he looks for a opening to get out of melee range. Total Defense, I forget what that adds to my AC.. 4?

Round 1

Gealdn approaches and swings the hammer. It connects with the floor, where the rat once was.

Uthread shouts "What's going on up there, do you need my help?"

Grummosh steps into the warehouse and starts calling to his spirits.

After being bitten by a rat, Mr. Peppers moves into a total defensive stance. "Rats! Vile vermin chewing a hole in my robe, not to mention my leg! Get these damn things off me! Yes it is a +4 dodge bonus to AC for one round

"Don't worry, Uthraed. Just some rats"Gringo replies as he shifts back a bit, before drawing his musket and leveling at a rat, and fires. Damage: 1d12 ⇒ 4 The round blows a good chunk out of the rat. Next round just roll your damage with the attack.

Mun moves to get a clear line of sight and lets an arrow fly, missing his intended target.

Round 2 will be posted tomorrow morning.

I might not be able to post tomorrow morning, so theese are Gringo's actions:

Gringo moves to Mun to take better ranged position(updated map position) and reloads his musket with regular bullet.
If Gringo has to move through threatened square he will tumble to avoid the attack moving at full speed acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24.

PS I had + 3 to damage (Deadly Aim +2 and Point-Blank Shot +1) during previous round. Was this damage canceled due to my mistake of not rolling the damage by myself?

No, simply forgot it. In that case the rat is down.

Round 2

Brown goes continues to try and nibble on Mr. Peppers.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Miss

Red also goes after Mr. Peppers
attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
It connects, take 3 damage.

The rest of you are up.

Mr Peppers screams in pain as another rat bites into his leg. "Aaahh! Grummosh move so I can get away from these things!"

Mr Peppers continues to swat the rats away as he looks for Grummosh to make a space for him to step away from the gnawing rat teeth.

Total Defense and waiting for Grummosh to move to take a 5' step down for easier ranged shots and less elf blood.

Attack the next one
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 6 = 11

Round 2, Init 7

Mūn maintains his position and lets loose two more arrows. Initially targeting Red but switching to Brown if Red goes down.

Longbow attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 4 (Point Blank Shot, Bless, Flurry of Blows, Precise Shot--looks like I forgot that last modifier last round)
Longbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2
Longbow attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 19 (Point Blank Shot, Bless, Flurry of Blows, Precise Shot)
Longbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Grummosh moves so Mr. Peppers can get away. He then calls upon the spirits to give Gealdn some Guidance. Gealdn gets another +1 to hit next round which stacks with bless.

Uthraed keeps the boat steady benieth the hole.

I'm sure they can deal with the rats themselves I think it's best to stay here in case some one falls through.

Uthraed will stay in the boat with his sword drawn in case any one comes crashing down, other than that though that's my turn.

Round 2 Recap

The red rat nibbles on Mr. Peppers some more.

Gealdn brings his hammer down once more. And as it strikes the ground a splatter of blood shoots from beneath it. Safe to say, dead

Uthread stay in the boat in case something or someone comes down.

Grummosh moves to the side and cast guidance on Gealdn.

Mr. Peppers moves into the free scare left by grummosh. And defends himself against the wrath of the rats.

Gringo moves to the rear ranks with Mun and reloads his musket.

Mun unleashes two arrows towards the rat. The first whizzes by and sinks into a crate. While the second lands true.

Round 3

The rat moves forward towards gealdn and attempts to deliver a bite,

attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
the bite lands. you make the fort save

everyone else is up

Grummosh will continue to give Gealdn more Guidance.

"One shot - one dead. Hah!"
Gringo fires at the last rat if it still will be alive and then reloads musket with regular bullet.
Attack against Touch AC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 9 (Point Blank-Shot, Bless, Deadly Aim, Precise Shot)
Damage: 1d12 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8(Point Blank-Shot, Deadly Aim)

Round 3, Init 7

If the rat survives that long, Mūn sends another two arrows in its direction.

Longbow attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 3 (Point Blank Shot, Bless, Flurry of Blows, Precise Shot)
Longbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Longbow attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 7 (Point Blank Shot, Bless, Flurry of Blows, Precise Shot)
Longbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

fortsave: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Gealdn get angry!
Aarghh you filthy rat!!
attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 1 = 14
damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 = 14
I hope you die til you die!!!

And with a might thud, the last rat is crushed by Gealdn's blow.

End Combat

Do what you need to do, retrieve arrows, heal yourselves and continue on with the mission.

"We'd better hurry up. This rodent control was quite noisy.."

Mūn collects the two arrows that missed.

Arrow destroyed/lost?: 1d100 ⇒ 61
Arrow destroyed/lost?: 1d100 ⇒ 10

He finds them both, but determines that only one will be good enough to use again and discards the other.

Gealdn get the timber and bring it back to the hole and the chest.

Grummosh will help in whatever way he can mostly by using Guidance.

Gealdn is able to find multiple planks of wood and supplies to brace the floor with.

While Gringo goes over to the crane to see how to operate it. It seems simple enough to work. However you would have to rig the crate be lifted. Gringo also notices that the crane does have the capability of extending past the door.

Gringo very carefully, step after step, inspects if the floor around the crate is fixed enough.
Acrobatics (If it isn't): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

In case everything alright he attaches the crate to the crane.

"Uthraed, swim to the entrance. We'll take the crate there by the crane"

The floor boards seem to hold ups while Gringo attaches spare rope to the crate and rigs the crane to lift. As he is doing that, Uthread positions the boat back out by the door.

With Gringo at the controls, he lifts the 200lbs crate up and out the door and sets it on the boat.
