He sees you and you see him, but he can't get a clear shot at you. Like litterally you have 3/4 cover. You can't get close to him, cause any path you choose that brings you closer to him forces you out into the open as he is on a mound. He refuses to leave his spot and the way away from him is 3/4 cover all the way until he is out of sight. So fight him or leave him?

Saratur looks at the position of the sniper and the possible routes that we could take. "In that case, let's move around him and bring cultist to his location. I don't enjoy being shot while going through rough terrain. "
Heroes do go around and they see large bat like creatures in a cave, a cave they must pass through, These bats are hostile. If only the heroes made noise and ran away weapons down pretending not to notice the sniper while running towards them. Cause, you know the sniper would probably fire at the greatest threat. It is risky though.
Cadan frowns at the bats. "Do you think we can sneak past them? I don't relish the idea of going back to that sniper. If we can't sneak past them I'd rather run past them; if they pursue us out of their cave at that point we could stand and fight."
Cadan has an untrained +5 to stealth. I think we should just use the run action to get through the cave and try to avoid a fight. If they want to fight we can fight on the other side of they follow us out.
Give me an appropriate knowledge check to see what you know about bats.
dc 12:
You know they are blind right? They use sound waves to notice you, as sound waves bounce off objects. And their sense of smell too. In real life, and yes in this game as well. So unless you are crawling low to the ground so sounds waves bounce off you less, making less noise so they don't hear you and cover up your smell, ain't no way. Invisibility will do nothing against bats.
Roggi knows how to do that with the appropriate life science, disrupt their sense of smell, in fact with a survival skill they will fly away for now, with a higher one, they fly towards the sniper eliminating one problem or the other.
cool! What actions do those skill checks represent? What would we be doing in order to roll life science? And what would we be doing in order to roll survival? What would the consequences of failure be for either check? Cadan has +7 survival and +5 life science, so he could try to aid either way
Cadan sends them the snipers way percentage dice:3d100 ⇒ (92, 11, 6) = 109 them
percentage dice him:1d100 + 25 ⇒ (39) + 25 = 64
He ends up killing two of them no problem, but the third one is untouched and is now smelling you all as you head through the cave.
All heroes are up

Sarathur keeps close to Cadan looking as he tries to fool the bats. After they flew towards the sniper and Cadan begins to run the Half-Orc joins him and runs through the cave.
llanope is a friend of mine in RL and is in the middle of some complicated RL stuff with his house. I am botting him for now. I thought he posted about it in this game but it must have been in our other one. I already posted for him twice, above.
Heroes run forward percentage:1d100 ⇒ 11
The Bat crashes to the floor as he lands into part of the ceiling chasing you and dies.
At the end of the cave you see a giant bat, but grounded and can see.
All heroes are up, map is up, slide 1
this map is really puzzling me. Llanope is not on it, the PCs are two very different sizes, there's no grid, and nothing that looks like a cave. Can you post again when it's updated, GM?
Map is there in full now. I tried to make heroes 1 inch assuming they understood 1 inch means 5 foot square. Yes you can travel behind you, that leads out of the cave. The creature is large sized. Hope you all had a good memorial day weekened, that is what I did.
The weekend was good. It enabled me to finish up the last of my personal business.
To make sure I understand our current situation:
1) We are in combat, with the bat thing. 2) it is on the ground in front of us, blocking our path forward.
if it is Llanope's turn and he is free to attack:
I have not move Llanope on the slides because I wasn't sure if it was my turn again after the survival check from earlier.
Llanope closes with the bat creature and attempts to punch it in the chest.

Saratur seeing a giant bat runs forward reaching for his xenolash, standing behind Llanope uses his extended reach to attack the beast from out of its range.

Seeing the bat being so close, K’Klacklun retreats, firing his pistol at the creature. "By Hylax! I have no desire to remain here and be a meal for that beast!"
LLanope does partial damage as he doesn't have cold iron or magic, then Saratur gets a good hit in, dealing the reduced physical damage part, and the acid does not affect it, so dealing 1 dmg total.
Kklacluns guns doesn't pierce through, but the pulsecaster pistol does hurt though and he finds out this ain't a vampire bat cause the undead ignore nonlethal, but instead an abberation.
The creature will swipe a tentacle at LLanope hit:15 + 1d20 ⇒ 15 + (8) = 23 missing by that much
All heroes are upyou know know it is resistant to nonmagical or non cold iron physical damage and immune to acid.
LLanope hits it once, then a magic missile hits the thing.
Saratur keeps missing.
Cadan fires but misses.
hit:15 + 1d20 ⇒ 15 + (5) = 20 vs KAC miss

Seeing his pistol have no effect, K'Klacklun decides not to waste his ammunition. He searches his pack and produces a frag grenade. However, knowing his limted prowess, the shirren is reluctant to toss it in the direction of his companions.
The drone continues to fire.
Drone, Ranged v EAC(pulsecaster pistol):1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 Damage (E)(NL):1d4 ⇒ 1
