So I’m going to be busy with PaizoCon this weekend. I will probably be able to do some updates but not with any regularity. GMing 3 slots, playing 3 slots will keep me busy.
Bot as needed,
Same!
Do you want me to change the spreadsheet for this temporary change in exploration activity?
No, it's fine,
Will bot you as needed. We'll see how it goes; I feel we'll likely just slow down till Tuesday.
I wish I had more free time on weekends for cons!
Me three!
We're not on official pause so if you want to make a decision on how to move through or roll some disables at Espert training feel free.
If the puzzle is still there Tuesday, I will work on it.
I'll move us on later this afternoon. Going a little slow because of the con and I don't want it to be too hard to catch up.
We ready to get going again after the con?

I'll be at work, but yeah, I can probably squeeze in a post or two!
Ready.
I'm going to kick this up later tonight. So slammed at work today.
Let me know if you feel stuck on what to do here. I wanted to give you an opportunity to act on the info Lucius is giving you. That might mean making perception checks, etc.
That's Odd only gives you a general hint; it's up to you what to do with that information.
I wanted to give Lucius the first post to respond.
GMing tonight and it looks like a long/tough session so no updates till later or more likely tomorrow.
You know, I *almost* feel sorry for the kobolds.
It must feel like we are hounding them at every step.
Will update a little later, need to look at the map first.
Would it take a Society Check to know about the Sewer Dragons and that they have a Pathfinder Society connection? I am really feeling like giving these guys a better direction in life would be the right thing to do.
Sounds good. I don't want to foist combat on us if we're not comfortable or having fun fighting kobolds. I may make the check slightly harder than your DC by level as they are members of this evil cult, however.
edit:
Other skills that might work include Intimidation, bribery with diplomacy, underworld lore.
I am fine with fighting kobolds, tends to remind us that we have progressed.
It is more about the kobolds we displaced. If these turn out to be the same ones as we displaced, then met along the road — do want to kick them again. At that point it feels wrong.
They aren’t the same ones. Its clear these are different; these look a bit tougher and there’s no wizard with them but a trapmaster instead!
Don’t mind improv on non combat solutions here; the rest of the module is pretty dungeon crawly.
Good to know these are different ones!
I guess technically you don't need a free hand to Force Open, just your body, and can also technically use your weapon. Oh well. Though (successfully) knocking a portcullis down by shoulder checking it would be cool to witness.
I'm fine if you want to just knock it down with your shoulder!

I am not familiar with reactive rage. Wounded rage lets you react to rage after taking damage, but you didn't take damage yet. Perhaps instead of changing grip you could have just Raged as an action.
I meant Wounded Rage :)
EDIT: Wireless in my office is going to drive me nuts. I was posting my reaction that I would take if triggered in the future (it's his only reaction option, I think).
Makes sense to me!
They also just armed the trap and its in initiative somewhere: unfortunately you can only disable it on the ceiling 10’ up or at the control panel (2 actions to turn off) reaching through the busted grate)
Didn't I just remove the grate as an obstacle?
I imagine its broken but you still have to reach through some twisted metal along the wall and find the right button.
Peek behind the screen: there is no guidance in the scenario on whether you even CAN deactivate it from the panel; 2-actions like a standard disable but auto success seems fair to me.

Nandipha is currently away for the weekend on a vacation with a group of friends. I doubt she will be posting before late Sunday or sometime on Monday.
Wifi is spotty up here. Love you all. Please bot me this weekend!
I acknowledge this trap is kinda BS. The way it's set up sort of railroads you into fighting through it and into the kobolds' den. The whole party got all kinds of bunt up after missing the spot check and then got shot up by the kobolds when I played, and the GM had the switch hidden in the far back.
Taking advantage of the stride option with a successful shove to get out of the AOE.
Success You push your target back 5 feet. You can Stride after it, but you must move the same distance and in the same direction.

Hero point to Biltri for shoving the kobold into the trap, which is hilarious.
Nandipha and Biltri up; let me know if anyone needs a bot.
Post incoming

Probably want to Bot Nandipha. She is at work now, from work goes to her son's graduation ceremony, and then tomorrow it is work again.
Since she is running a game after work tomorrow, I am doubtful she will find the time to post.
Put demoralize on trapmaster?
That works. :)
I will be out till the afternoon. If you can take out the trapmaster I will essentially call the fight; their morale seems to be breaking.

Yeah, this has been a non-stop week!
Hero point to Lucius for guessing Owlbears!
I had an idea for a divine hunter of Lamashtu using the We Be Goblins boon that let you reskin a bear as an owlbear, but PF2 came before I could play the necessary scenarios. :)
Should there be reason to use it later, Biltri has Lore (Giant) @ +8 E.
