Hero point reroll:

Deception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

That's a crit fail.

Greetle grumbles.

"Well, I'm glad she's trying to get into it, but I'm not entirely convinced. You can have the veggies for half price, just 10 coppas and I'm gonna hav' to think long and hard if I'm comin' or not."

There's nothing further to be negotiated with the farmer here.

Zalmora sighs, but digs the coins out from her pouch and gives them to Greetle. "I do hope her mistake isn't enough to permanently affect your friendship. We'll be sure to let her know that she needs to do the right by you."

Ready to move on

"These relationships are so complicated. I'll admit I've never been that skilled at understanding the intricacies of interpersonal interaction."

With all the pieces together...

Kupyn’s cottage is brightly colored, with a thatched roof and tall chimney merrily puffing smoke into the brisk air. Yet as you get close, the house begins to rumble and quake. The door spills opens. Numerous tiny cobblestones pour out—no ordinary rocks. They all have open mouths with gleaming sharp teeth.

Initiative:

Karianamu
Zalmora
Aeslynn
Hiro
Cobblestones
Vex

Karianamu, Zalmora, Aeslynn and Hiro are up!

I'm envisioning no weapons out we've been in peaceful Winterweek town. Also there's clearly something wrong with the cauldron and it can be "disabled" while adjacent via Arcana Thievery or Crafting via the Disable action

"Breaking rocks with my fists! Ha!" Hiro drops into the large and powerful stance of the dragon. He rushes forth and with a mighty kiai drops a hammer strike on the biggest rock of the bunch.

ATK: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 1 = 14 ehhhhh.... using it

Hero Point: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26 for DMG: 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 3 + (5) = 14

Karianamu can't for the life of him remember what beats rock. He smiles as he remembers "Rock always wins. Good old rock."

He takes out his sling and loads it with a stone, and lets loose a shot!

Sling, the mightiest of the weapons!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Action 1: Interact
Action 2: Hunt Prey
Action 3: Command an Animal (Stride, Strike)

Zalmora quickly retrieves her bow, looking for weak points as she studies her stony prey. "Baxter, flank and bite!"

The bedazzled dog runs forward and past the rock monster, not quite flanking with Hiro. He does try and bite the thing however.
Jaw vs The Rock: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage (P): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Disable activity is 2 actions, so next turn!

Aeslynn moves up, whispering to Sebastian. "We should do what Great-Granmmummy would have us do!" The two conspire together, momentarily, and a rocking chair next to the cauldron spring up, growing chicken legs, moves up to the rocks, and smacks them!

Spirit Object attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 B: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"Yes, I think Great-Grandmummy would be proud of us, too, Sebastian!"

Hiro finally gets to flex some muscles and break some rocks. Not a crit

Karianamu's sling is about as effective as expected.

Zalmora's dog does unfortuantly not get a solid bite in, perhaps a stick golem might be been a more fortunate foe.

Aeslynn's rocking chair contributes significantly to the fray as well.

The cobblestones swarm over Hiro

grasping bites vs fort DC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Knocking Hiro over and grabbing him.

Initiative:

Karianamu
Zalmora
Aeslynn
Hiro (Prone, Grabbed)
Cobblestones -21
Vex

Everybody is up!

Karianamu will load and fire his sling.

Sling Redemption: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

He then casts Guidance on Baxter, hoping the canine can help save Hiro.

Action 1: Command an Animal
Action 2: Stride
Action 3: Hunted Shot

"Kill, Baxter!" Zalmora commands, moving to a better position.

Baxter steps in and takes a bite!
Jaws vs Rock: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damage (P): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Zalmora then snaps off two shots with her bow, the arrows preluded with a pair of twanging sounds
Hunted Shot vs Rock: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage (P): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Hunted Shot vs Rock: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage (P): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Aeslynn moves up to the cauldron, letting her rocking chair go. "I think I can take care of this at the source, don't you think, Sebastian?"

She uses her knowledge of the arcane to try to disrupt the magics of the cauldron.
disable device, arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Stride, Disable Device

Forgot Deadly
Deadly crit damage: 1d10 ⇒ 4

No luck on the sling shot.

Zalmora does crit with an arrow, but arrows are not especially effective against rocks, and it does surprisingly little damage Resist piercing 6

Aeslynn starts getting the cauldron back in order, but it's going to take several more successes to complete the repair. 1/3 successes complete.

Karianamu
Zalmora
Aeslynn
Hiro (Prone, Grabbed)
Cobblestones -29
Vex

Hiro and Vex are still up!

"Let's see if we can do something about that pot."

Doctor Vex moves up to the pot and attempts to fix it.

Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Doctor Vex fixes the cauldron and it stops bubbling over with cobblestones.

Disabled!

"Most unfortunate. In the dojo the rocks don't typically fight back..."

While laying down he tries to strike a rock with his elbow, then effortlessly turns it into a hammer fist by extending his arm.

Flurry: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 2 = 12 for DMG if hit: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
ATK: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 - 2 = 13 for DMG if hit: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

but his prone fighting technique is poor. He then throws a wild haymaker

ATK: 1d20 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 4 - 2 = -1

Hiro can't smash the rocks and instead gets munched on.

Munch: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
Munch: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5
Munch: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

DC 17 Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
DC 17 Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
DC 17 Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

9 damage to Hiro!

With the cauldron disabled, all of y'all up and the swarm at 1hp we're going to call it

With the last of the cobblestones defeated things calm down... A short while later Kupyn shows up with the stew meat. Finding that the rocks broke nearly everything in her house before spilling back she sits down and cries.

"I knew I should have cleaned the runes more thoroughly but it's just so much work..."

Despite her malfeasance and previous lack of spirit nearly the whole town shows up to help her rebuild and make rock stew.

Old farmer gramps and the kids show up and get rid of all the remaining debris and rubble from her house.

The dwarves come through with some mushroom wine and fix her broken furniture.

The fae show up and make everything a little more special, and fill your companions' fur with ribbons and glitter once more.

In the end you get paid for your help along with a generous helping of rock stew.

Baxter looks up and makes a questioning noise, wanting to know what this rock he found in his stew was...

Fin.

Huzzah!

"Thank you, Kupyn, for a lovely celebration!"

This.... soup has bite." Hiro, bloodied and battered gets up. "He." His voice is weak, "I made a funny and I did it in Taldane. Heh."
