"Meh. I think I'll keep the grenade."

Pratt does NOT pull the pin on the grenade and lets it drop. He then takes aim with his rifle at the woman who just shot him.

to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
fire damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

This grenade only has a 5' blast. I feel like the boss would make her save, and there would no point. If I could get 2 in the blast, maybe it would be worth it. Also, I thought Xawn was going to be near me?

Xaun uses the pharmacology inhibitor on the red one:
The target gains the encumbered condition and must succeed at a Fortitude save or also gain the entangled condition. This is a mind-affecting poison effect.

attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26

DC 14, duration of 6 rounds

Red falls for the attack hook, line, and sinker.
Red fort save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
He also cleverly blocks the poison dart with his face. It does not go well.
Pratt’s attack barely managed to get through the commander’s armor.

Blue Shoulder’s his rifle and fires on Rook
Attack -2 for cover: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Red shoulders his rifle with what seems like Herculean effort, and hates his life

Red gets tagged for 2 damage.

Cadets! Change targets!” shouts the captain and turns her aim to Rook, Xawn, and Reconstructor

That wall I'm against looks to provide cover so my KAC is 19 against her.
Maintain Get'em on Red
Using Inspiring Boost on Xawn, they regain 6 Stamina

"Keep focus! We'll take them apart like all their comrades!"

Pratt will continue to try to take advantage of the cover of the doorway, all while firing with his rifle. He takes aim once again at the officer.

to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
fire damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

This time, Xaun uses the pharmacology inhibitor on the boss:
encumbered condition
entangled on a failed Fortitude save
mind-affecting poison effect.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Captain saves and is only encumbered

The captain is hit by both Pratt and Xawn and seems to have trouble standing. meanwhile Red Double moves to take up a firing position on Pratt while Blue opens up a line of fire and shoots once at Pratt

Reconstructor misses spectacularly. The captain double moves (drawing her two-handed sword as she does) as she SLOWLY plods over to rook.

Great job on those biohacker darts, Xawn! That could win us this fight. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you get the damage for those darts too (a crit on red, and a normal hit on the officer).

Pratt produces another grenade from his belt. He looks to one of the Azlanti and says, "HEY! What's this? I forgot I have another one!"

Then he throws it near red.

With only a 5' radius explosion, I can't make it affect both. If I roll a one, we'll worry about where it's going. Let's assume I'm going for the square just to the right of red.

don't roll a one: 1d20 ⇒ 17

fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Red has the burn condition (d4)

Right! You know what it is... I keep getting confused with the injection expert ability.

damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

New attack on red
attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 15
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Taking the damage into consideration from last turn

A combination of Pratt's grenade and Xawn's hit (even accounting for shooting through an enemy she hits) downs Red.

Rook draws his sword cane and attacks the captain, drawing a bit of blood.
Blue fires once against Pratt
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
For 1d8 ⇒ 5 damage if hit

Then Reconstructor opens up and hits once for a bit of damage. Then the captain full attacks rook

Attack 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
attack 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Attack 1 damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Rook is down, spending my last resolve to stabilize.

Pratt hears the slashing, and Rook's body thumping onto the floor. He readies his rifle and runs across the bridge past the remaining soldier (being sure to stay at least 5' away).

Finding a position for a clear shot, he fires at the officer.

to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

I'm going to guess that Pratt may have had some cover in that doorway. If so, that last successful shot from the remaining soldier was a miss.

Xaun moves behind Rook and shoots at the Captain.
Let's also throw in a minor inhibitor for -1 attack for 6 rounds
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

(Of course I forgot that I have weapon specialization!)

Blue continues to fire at Pratt as his CO commanded.

Yes you have cover

Pratt, fearing this battle could go south very quickly, hopes to finish off this very potent officer.

to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

HAHAH! I was feeling that crit coming!

crit damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Xawn misses, but Pratt’s strike hurts the captain a lot. And her bluekid keeps firing at Pratt

The top half of 287 tumbles backward (guarded step), leaving the bottom half in its place. It then fires its rifle as the bottom half swings its wrench .

B: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

blue is the drone, pink is Reconsructor.

The bottom half hits for a decent chunk of damage and the captain is looking injured.

The captain goes to town on the bottom half of Reconstructor

Pratt continues to pound away at the officer.

"I'd ask for your surrender, but none of you ever surrender. You're too stupid."

to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

What? I am even on a different computer. The 20's have come in groups in my PBP games lately. I'm even on a different computer.

crit damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

As Pratt crits again the captain wavers, then falls down.

Rook gurgles on the ground.

Gurgle check: 1d20 ⇒ 10
A completely average gurgle.

Xaun reaches over and injects a healing serum into Rook.

healing serum mk1: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Standing up and applying get'em to Blue

"Huh? What? Where's-ah never mind." Rook rather unsteadily got back to his feet.

Oops, my turn, forgot! Sorry!
Blue, unaware his captain has died, ditches his rifle and charges Pratt with his survival knife

"Thank you Xawn," Rook said as he leveled his pistol on the remaining azlanti.

Pratt turns his rifle on the remaining azlanti soldier.

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Sorry, didn't realize it was four level three PCs against a single CR 1/2. We can narrate our way through it, saying rook shoots him down easily. On his person (and the other cadet) you find standard stuff.

On the commander you find two datapads, one looks MUCH older than the other. You also find:

-A curved blade sword with ancient azlanti writing on it.
-A set of AG Trooper Battle Dress with an Aeon stone and a battle computer socketed into it.
-An AG Assault rifle with 20 with no ammo in it, but the commander has a spare full magazine on her.
-Another Motion Detector Badge.
