"We don't want to hurt you," Saeron calls. "But we will defend ourselves against your bots."

She slips a rifle from her shoulder and fires through the open doorway at the nearest bot.

"Please, stand them down and talk to us! she pleads.

Static arc rifle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Electricity damage: 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Kaylee activates her defences while Saeron fires at the closest bot, scoring a satisfying zap.

"Self defense protocols activated!" it replies in a warning manner as electricity continues to play over its metal frame.

The bots definitely have to go. Patterson brings his heavy laser to bear on the damaged bot and fires.

Laser attack vs flat-footed EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Damage, if applicable: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Nadia's skin shines and glistens in the dim light as she fades from view.
(Standard action and 1RP to become invisible using her glass skin and then she moves into the apartment).
stealth: 1d20 + 2 + 20 - 10 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 20 - 10 = 13

"You don't want to do that!" Iskakii warns the man at the computer. After a moment, his computer starts bleeping and flashing random pixels.

Computers: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

He may become staggered. DC 15+1+x, where x is 1.5x his CR. If my total exceeds that, he is staggered 1 round. For every 5 I beat his CR by, add a round. (This is clearly about stopping him without hurting him.)

What skill/ability is Iskakii using the interfere with the mans work on the computer?

Patterson fires, but the robots shielding is proof against his attack, while Nadia fades from view...

Buddy looks on in confusion, a confusion matched by the man at the terminal, who hits a few more keys trying to get it to restart.

The two robots target Saeron and Patterson...

damage Saeron, E crit so doubled: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Their aim is dead on target. These are no cheap-as-chips security robots, these are the Real Thing.

Patterson's return shot is thrown off by the residual tetanic spasms caused by the robot's attack.

Laser attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

The dicebot does not love us.

"Come on, just talk and we can save you the repair bill for the drones!" Iskakii continues. Now the electronic devices of the two drones start beeping and blinking, as his Amplified Glitch applies to the two of them.
Computers: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Buddy takes out his radcannon "I know that beat, let me try to match it."

He lowers his heavy cannon and shoots, covering half of the room with the radioactive heat

Attack@Blue, blast weapon: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 - 2 = 23

Attack@Red, blast weapon: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 2 = 10
Damage, fire: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Pull outgun, use the blast attack, Blue would take 8+2 damage due to Brutal Blast. I've added the 30ft cone template to the slide.

Nadia waits for the hail of gunfire then creeps over to the man by the computer to see what he is doing.
stealth: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 2 = 41

Saeron yelps, convulsing as the bot gives her a nasty zap.

Still twitching from the shock, she lines up the bot for another shot of her own.

Static arc rifle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Electricity damage: 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Pattersons laser is deflected by the high quality plating of the robot. Meanwhile Isakli causes further technological distractions.

Buddy comes out of his daze and blasts the blue with his cannon. Luckily the weapon, outlawed in many risk-averse states, doesn't misfire.

Nadia peers over the mans shoulder. He appears to be activating a self destruct mode in the computer.

Saeron meanwhile does a little dance to try and convince the robots she is not a threat.

Someone suggest a move for Kaylee?

Kaylee was hoping for a better avenue to the guy inside but doesn't see any. She takes a deep breath and tries to take a shot anyway.

Pulsecaster rifle: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24
Nonlethal electricity: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"Call the robots off, or else!"

Really nothing she can do for a move action stuck behind the doorway :(

Kaylee wings the man at the computer. "Just want to talk, eh?" he mutters. "I knew it, I knew it."

He finishes whatever he was doing at the computer and looks around, obviously trying to work out the best escape route.

The two robots blast away at the fearsomely armed Skittermander.

Buddy shakes and jitters, but the robots blue robots slightly confused state from all the alarms going off nearby saves him from a worse fate.

Seeing Buddy getting hit so badly, Kaylee drops all attempts to play things slow or safe. She drops her pulsecaster and draws her Hutchket rifle, aiming over Buddy's shoulder at the blue robot!

Hutchket rifle: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 KAC
Piercing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

At least I had good timing on this post for once?

Kaylee hits the robot, slashing at its exposed sensor pads.

"Auch! That hurt"

Buddy moves to the robot and pulls out his doshko. He takes a swing with it

Doshko@blue vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage, slashing: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Step + draw weapon, attack

Is there anything Nadia can do with with her computers/engineering skill to stop what he is doing?

Buddy's Dosko cracks the robots dermal plating, more wiring is exposed!

Nadia could try to counter what the man has done with her own computers check, he has stood up so is no longer directly using the keyboard.

With a militant skittermander between him and the damaged bot, Patterson fires on the red one.

Laser attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

The dicebot does not love me in particular.

Nadia will try to do that,
computers: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Iskakii is having computer problems, and won't be able to roll for a while. (Bit of a story, I will post my stats when I can so somebody can roll for me)

Iskakii doesn't want this guy getting away, so he will shoot at him with his Vector Gravity Pistol. If it hits, the guy tries a save or gets pushed/pulled 15 feet in a direction of my choice. It's harmless, but he won't be leaving.

The winds of fate blow dust between the high power laser in Patterson's hand... and the high powered robot he was aiming at. Curses.

Nadia starts typing while the man is distracted by the room invasion. She clicks the "Cancel" button on what appears to be a self destruct routine.

It looked a little too crowded inside the building for Saeron's tastes. The lashunta opted to continue her attack on the bot from range.

Static arc rifle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Electricity damage: 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Saeron is right on target. The robots systesms, overwhelmed by the rapid assault shut down as smoke starts pouring out of it.

Iskakalii tries to pull the man forward.
roll: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18Hmm, 5th level operative has BAB one lower than reflex, both use dex, so guessing the +8 here
reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

But he resists. The man makes a break for the back door, and opens it.
But is still inside for the moment

The red robot steps up to Buddy and slams into him.

red robot -

"Oh sweetie, I wouldn't do that if I were you."
Nadia moves so that she can see out of the door and casts laser net, filling the outside corridors with a web of angry red lasers.
"I didn't have to leave you outside the area, keep that in mind."

With the blue robot down, Patterson sprints into the room, skirting the reach of the red robot (he doesn't get within 5' of it, so unless it has reach it won't get an AoO against him. If it does, though, he's got Mobility for +4 AC vs. AoOs.) and drawing a pulsecaster rifle. "Stop! This won't kill you, but it'll hurt!"

Holding his attack to see what the human does.

Iskakii takes aim and tries a Trick Attack on the hacker with his graviton pistol.

Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28 Subtract 20 from the total. If that is > his CR, he is flat footed.

pew pew: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 If he is hit, he tries a DC 17 Reflex save or gets pulled directly in front of Patterson.

The laser net could cover the doorway, but other than that there are not a lot of appropriate anchor points for it. Let me know if you want to change that action, I mean its still good, but not as good as if it were a corridor.

Patterson runs through the conference room to avoid the robot, and tries to negotiate, while Iskakii tries to bring the man to the party. Nadia also does what she can to discourage his all-too-rapid exit from the show.

The man is pulled up to Patterson, where the pulsecaster is propped in his face..

Damage: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Then he moves our of the room.

@Gm I don't think that you moved the robot

Fixed map.

As Buddy moves back, the robot takes another swipe at him.
attack vs KAC 18: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
But Buddy is too quick (or maybe too cute, surely security robots have protocols that would stop them hurting a retreating skittermander).

Someone can suggest a move and a roll for Kaylee if you like.

I guess it's fine, I didn't realize we were in such an open area, guess it makes sense for a garden and residential area. I was thinking the buildings themselves might also serve as anchor points. Like I said, I'll stick with it and hope it is a deterrent.

Kaylee shifts her combat tracking from the man she wounded once to the red robot, then fires!

Hutchket rifle: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 = 10 KAC
Piercing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

dang

With the shift in action, Saeron cautiously enters the building. Skirting around the eastern wall, she tries to keep some distance between herself and the security bot as she heads for the interior stairs.

O think it might provoke anyway...

Reaching the upper room, she turns and fires a shot at the bot.

Static arc rifle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Electricity damage: 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

The red robot must have some type of distortion field around it. Very high tech, as all the Starfinders weapons seem to malfunction when they target it.

Either that or Starfinder training needs to get improved. Lets go with the distortion field.

The man, seeing that perhaps his adversaries were not quite as competent as he feared, still... he dashes for the door, pausing after a quick zap from the laser net to fire his rifle at Patterson.

zap from laser net: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The red robot rushes Patterson from the other side, trying to slam into him...

vs FF KAC+8: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Weirdly I dont think I get any bonus for being invisible. so maybe not my best choice.
Would you please just calm down and talk to us.

Now with a clear lane of fire, Kaylee grits her teeth and tries to launch a full attack at the robot!

Hutchket rifle 1: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 - 4 = 23 KAC
Piercing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Hutchket rifle 2: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 - 4 = 10 KAC
Piercing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

The invisible Naida passes through the laser grid without issue and leaps on the man. It looks as if his well tailed suit is more than just good tailoring, as she slips off it.

Miss, even against FF, but not by a massive amount

Kaylee meanwhile fires off a volley into the robot, one of the bullets hits!

I'm pretty sure the combat manuvour broke invisability. My glass skin only give regular invis, not greater.

Seeing Buddy, Kaley and Patterson surrounding the security bot, Saeron high tails it down the opposite stairs and through the door, attempting to cut off the fleeing man.

"Please!" she pants. "We really don't want to hurt you. Stop running so we can speak with you." She lowers her rifle as a gesture of good faith.

Double move

noted.

Iskakii is right behind Saeron, double-moving toward the door. He uses acrobatics to try to avoid provoking an AOO from the robot.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34

zap Saeron: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
zap Iskakii: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The two startfinders leap through the laser net, getting only slightly singed on the way.

Buddy is left looking at the fearsome robot with limited support.. At least it is "looking" away from him, towards an attractive Patterson-target.

Mechanic trick, my shorthand notes:

Buddy drops his radcannon and teachers for hailcannon. Equally heavy weapon but a bit more accurate

Attack vs KAC, robot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage,c and p: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The red robot gets a back full of hail. Brrr.

It ignores the helpful skittermander and concentrates on Patterson who is the main local assailant on the Man in Black(tm). The assault takes the form of holt of electricity that then moves onto Nadia, Saeron and Iskakii.

E damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3 reflex dc13 for half

The man says "Oh I don't think I'm quite ready to talk just yet." as he lashes out at Nadia, whose new visible status seem to be a bit of a shock to him.
attack vs KAC: 1d20 ⇒ 14
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
After his strike he tries to edge past her again. Guarded step
