Game Master Deevor

Dr Galvanus, Rapzap and Argoni are up..

The overdriven invention continues to assault the duergar at its new position, while Dr Galvanus backs it up with his augmented bowman skills

Command to attack twice starting with Green, switch to White after Green is down

Jackhammer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 for: 1d8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 4 = 12 bludgeoning

Persistent flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Argoni pulls out a different vial and sights around the bulk of the mound. Thinking he's got a good shot, he lobs it up and over the mound, trying to get it to come down on the duergar on the other side.

Stratagem: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Stratagem strike vs White: 13 + 8 + 1 = 22

DC 11 check!: 1d20 ⇒ 10 and DC 11 check!: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Phineas follows the duergar into the darkness, smelling its sweat and stench to get close enough to strike. The bear bites into thin air, but brings it's claws round in a long but effective arc, drawing blood and flesh, leaving deep and raw scratch marks in the duergar's side. The sharpshooter cries out in pain.

Argoni, uses his bomb to maximum effect as it, loops over the mound exploding on the duergar bomber, covering from head to foot in a hideous mixture of poisonous chemicals that burn deep into the duergar's flesh, that bubbles and turns bright orange.

Elmer continues to feel the effects of the acid, taking a gulp of a potion to restore his strength, but the potion seems almost useless against the relentless progress of the destructive acid. Elmer's flesh bubbling and red raw.

Dr Galvanus, instructs his machine to continue its assault the durgar bombers, striking first one as it's hammer smashes the bombers head sending bone and brain splinters everywhere. Then turning it's attention to the other duergar bomber, the saw rotates and slices the head from the body of the unfortunate duergar, sending blood spurting in a short lived fountain over Dr Galvanus' invention.

Seeing both of the bombers die at the hands of the party, the duergar sharpshooter tries to go invisible, as it calls on it's innate magic, the bear grabs it and bites it's head off.

A torch lying on the mound, is all that illuminates this ugly scene of death.

Elmer still suffering from the acid burning into his body, is relieved when the party return to help him in his his plight. They quickly dap and scrap off excess acid and stop it continuing to dissolve his skin.

Encounter over ....

The halfling pounces on the fallen durgar bombers to see if any of their alchemical items can be salvaged. He heads back to Rapzap, pulling out some vials and mixing them together quickly. He takes the resulting liquid and splits it in two vials. "Here, drink this." He holds one portion out for Rapzap and drinks the other himself.

Making Minor Elixir of Life with Quick Tincture action
Healing - Rapzap: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Healing - Argoni: 1d6 ⇒ 6

"I'll give my last healing potion to whoever helps me scrape off this gold dang acid!"

Elmer's a big softy at heart.

The pathfinders are able to take a short break from the fighting to regroup after the brief encounter to block the duergar's retreat. Without a route back to the darklands, the duergar's force is wiped out by the Eagle Knights, as they fight to the death.

With the duergar threat neutralized, the Eagle Knights and the Pathfinders celebrate with ale and roast suckling once they return to the surface. Lieutenant Evanno is particularly impressed with the strange inventions that helped defeat the duergar and offers his personal set of Golden Legion epaulets in addition to Ghelib’s journal, to commemorate this day of alliance. As they part ways, he offers to sponsor any of them for membership into the Eagle Knights, if they feel so inclined.

Rapzap gives a small cheer as the last druegar runs away. "Good to see the tail end of them!" They then stand up and give a small woozy stuble for a second from the blood loss, but quickly get over to Elmer and pull out another of their antacid sprays. "Here, should get rid of that nasty acid!"

They give Argoni a grateful smile as the investigator shares their healing potions. "Near ready to faint there. This will help!"

At the celebration afterwards the little kobold partakes heavily of the meats offered and lightly of the drink, still not sure if it's better or worse than fermented sewer water. Less risk of it turning sour in the stomach, but significantly more bitter. After a moment of consideration, Rapzap decides to sign on with the Eagle Knights, figuring the group would give the lizard ample time to soup-up and finalize their bow along with plenty of other things to fix and improve.

Having them go off with the Eagle Knights isn't a bad way to end Rapzap's story.
