I think it might help if you cut down the filesize of the images for web publishing. Adobe PS has that function.
Aye, for me, the size of the map files makes them difficult to navigate.
Also, 1 foot squares rather than 5 foot ones creates a lot of clutter.
I believe we can use either normal actions or action economy, if that helps.

That is true. Otherwise the conversion I think would be just another AP. I think an attack is 1 AP. Just look up whatever the action it is granting is in this https://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/unchained-rules/unchaine d-action-economy/ and give yourself that many additional action points.
Can anyone polymorph into or summon a rust monster(s), or find some way to do so (would allow a bit of re-training if that's whats needed to make it work)?
That would be extremely useful in this combat.
Well, no Rust Monsters, but I CAN do what I just did.
Sable, I know I've said it twice in the post, but there's a lot going on, so I'mma re-iterate this part, since it's the crux of my plan:
I'm overlapping the Fascinate attempts. I'm NOT trying to get them to stack, but I AM replacing the least-effective Fascinate attempt each time.
The first Harmony will be 2 Fascinates.
The second Harmony will be 1 Fascinate, replacing the least effective one.
The third, same deal.
The fourth will replace the least effective fascinate with a Bardic Inspire.
I know that doesn't immediately make sense, but if you have any questions, shoot.

I'm updating my response now that I read your post -- I replied to the Knowledge check -- you may find something useful there. However, I think Hamza hasn't finished, and we need to wait before I make a bunch of rolls (if he kills one of the droids, then there's no reason to make rolls for Fascinate on them).
Otherwise, any subsequent actions need to wait until Hamza finishes his turn.
What is the big wasp on the map?

That's one of the 3 droids. One is a scorpion. One is a six-legged insect/crustacean thing called a Hexapede. The last is the wasp.
Understood, understood--There is a lot of good information in there. Of course, I think it's fair to say that sharing the relevant bits'd take a standard action on SADIE's part.

The main thing is the AIs are attuned to their former masters. Clearly, the wraith did something to get control over them, and has abilities derived from Stoneburner bio technology. However, Kchac'Thraa is NOT a Stoneburner, but merely a representative of a member of one of their client races. The humans who built the AIs also intended for the robots to at some point turn on their Stoneburner allies after they had used this external alliance to conquer the Milkyway. There may be a way to convince the AIs to ally with humans over the Stoneburner forces if you can somehow convince them that this double-cross is now going into effect.
Anyone else on the rust monster idea? I was going to see if maybe Taalik can do that, but I was going to offer up the tactic a group member first.
I looked over the summon monster lists, to see if my familiar could help. Rust monster isn't on either list.
I will post later tonight. Busy day running errands with my mom, including a big shopping trip later this afternoon.
Worst case scenario...Anyone got Dispel Magic? Maybe an AMF? Those're animated objects, after all.
Oh! Or Sunder. Anyone here Sunder well?

Since you still haven't killed the wasp, did you want to amend your actions any before I move on to Tyren?

I think any additional actions from Hamza will be further attacks on the wasp. For now, tell me what I need to roll for Fascinate again, or any other effects I need to apply from your turn to the enemies.
What is the big wasp on the map?
Cae, it's your turn before I go with the villains. Please do any actions for Raxus and the lizard as well.
Since you still haven't killed the wasp, did you want to amend your actions any before I move on to Tyren?
I still have two actions, or attacks left.
Incidentally, this is exactly why I asked for the basic stats for our foes.
I posted my attacks around 10pm last night, and you replied that I hadn't killed the wasp around 9 or so this morning. 11 hours later. It's now 1:30pm and I have to go grocery shopping, as we weren't able to yesterday(my grandmother's doctor's appointment ran late). Meaning I probably won't post till close to 5 or even 6 tonight. Almost 24hrs later.
You want to keep this battle moving, but won't fully accommodate us. Even just giving us the AC, defenses(so we can probably calculate damage) and the full total wounds/vigor would be incredibly helpful, as I could have continued my attack routine.
Also, this is being posted from my phone, hence why I can post this, but not my attacks(formatting from a phone is *Hell*)

I already gave you a post with the AC and Saves above, which is what I had finished.
I was still deciding on health totals -- I don't create up stat blocks all at once, and I can't keep up with creating fully-developed stat blocks for every creature for several games, it's just not possible.
You can assume the droids have at least 1,000 health for the purposes of your attacks. They are not going to die in a single round or from one attack like a lot of the other foes have in this campaign.
Hey Seb, I know you told Tenro that this game was suffering from recruitment fatigue currently, but I was wondering if you make a compromise:
Could he play my familiar?
I ask for a few reasons,
1) I will forever forget to make proper use of it. I've never been super good at remember my familiar/companion(unless it was an important aspect of the overall character concept) but I got the familiar due a class feature that I couldn't trade away, so I would like to make use of it.
2) Tenro is a great player, and a long time forum buddy of mine, and I think he'll help spark the game some.
3) He's pretty hyped to play in your games in general, so if we could get him another that would be really awesome.

I'm okay with it as long as he's built the same as everyone else and makes his own avatar (both of which are assumptions).
I'd like to basically have the same group playing in every game.
For the imperial foo which gets casting as a sorceror 10th level, can I just do that as spheres casting?
If the sphere casting class is somehow mechanically or thematically similar to a sorcerer. It does specify sorcerer, not any spellcaster, so I think there should be some logic to the substitution.
makes sense. itll be spontaneous casting and CHA based
Hey Seb, are we supposed to have gestalted mythic paths for this game? I know some of your others one do, but I only have Trickster for Hamza, I think.
Not yet, maybe later
Wait, does Fascinate even work on robots? I would think they might have some kind of immunity to mind-based spells.
Update: "•Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms)."
Tyren, do you have some way to get around that?
Also, I didn't realize they are especially vulnerable to crits -- I need to update my post slightly in the morning and the robots are staggered.
I'm so glad you asked, because I was afraid my terribad DCs were going to render this point moot!
COnstructs are the ONLY things my Fascinates work on, thanks to being a Clockspeaker!
Rokan, are you remembering the +2 from Cae?
Couple of things:
Are the arc rifles hitting normal AC or touch AC? I didn't see anything in their rules about which AC they target.
Secondly, you need to roll to confirm the 4 crits vs Rokan, unless you wanna take the rolls immediately after. If that's the case, none of them hit his AC, and are thus not critical hits.
Tyren, are we still benefiting from your Inspiration? If so, that's an additional +8 to Rokan's saves.
Finally, if Rokan still fails his save vs radiation, he might wanna use his denied power to completely negate the poisoning.
I'm pasting the description of the weapon. It is a medium Animate object.

I assumed the special quality "touch" meant vs. touch AC (though I agree it's not 100% clear that's what it means).
Thank you for reminding me about denied. Somehow I got it in my head it was only for attack rolls, not saves.

As Tyren pointed out above, you have a +2 bonus to Fort saves from Cae, and a possible +8 to all saves from Tyren.
nope, I missed that, thanks (easy to miss a post here). Saved the Denied, for now.
posted. a bit more of a defensive turn, but now he can get around easily avoiding a lot of targeting and unloading energy attacks.

As this rather important:
We all have +10 to Fort saves and +8 to Ref and Will saves.
Also, while it won't matter too much, we have +4 temporary hit points I believe per round from Cae?
I would assume that those go to Wounds, right Seb?
temporary hitpoints are temporary vitality/vigor points. I'm going back through my house rules stuff, I'll repost my files soon.

You can't edit the map b/c I turned that feature off; people are messing up the layers whenever they move anything, so I'm taking over all map duties. It's taking me 1/2 an hour to fix it every time someone moves, so I just need to do it myself for now. I will update the map with the effect.
Anyone else who sees something that needs to be changed, let me know and I will update.
I think we're just waiting on Jimbli -- then I'll post Itko and Co.'s actions and we'll move on to Round 3.

I think your companions might have some AOO to use on the droids or myceloids; why don't you sort that out for this round before we continue.
The only reason I hesitate is because I want to be absolutely certain: Did the Myceloids happen to move into/out of 60 ft. of SADIE, the one next to Tyren? If so, then yes, I can definitely take some AoOs.
As for Le-Xan, if he has any AoOs left(I think he should still have 12, if the group of players given were the only ones impacted by the missile), I'm going to save them for providing additional saves and AC.

60ft in a circle, with SADIE at the center, or 60ft from SADIE in all directions? (in other words, 30ft. or 60?)
The radius should be 60ft.--A reach of 50 feet naturally, 10 feet with the Guardian package.
ok, then all the myceloids are within range. Only 14 on this side of the chamber are still kicking.

This is fair, let me know if my description of the energy cone and it’s placement isn’t clear. I’ve also listed the reflex safe the myceloids can make for half damage.
My goodness! Well, I hope they like never escaping, because they're certainly not going to!

That link about delay action reads to me like you can reduce your initiative, not do some actions at one initiative, and some at another. Your entire group should act on the same initiative, or they should roll separately, it seems to me -- is there another part of this you're looking at?
