Game Master Jason Schimmel

Bonkers will take a second to try to process what these are...
huh?: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Life science is +9, unsure what these might be so..

He will take aim at Purple with his pistol and attempt to debilitate it a tiny bit...
owie! (Needler pistol): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Piercing damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
If it takes any damage a minor inhibitor affects it giving it a -1 penalty to attacks for 7 rounds.

Lylo attempts to identify what these blobs are, suspecting they may somehow be mechanical in nature.
Engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Unless he determines that the creature is immune to fire...

Determining these blobs to be a threat, he draws his pistol and fires one one of them.

Ranged (azimuth laser pistol) v red: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Damage (F): 1d4 ⇒ 4
Add Crit Damage (F): 1d4 ⇒ 1
Burn: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Dafyd also tries to make out what they are 1d20 ⇒ 12 life science+6 engineering+9 phy science+12 before moving to intercept orange and blue activating his pulse gauntlets

ʀːi˧i˩ro, I missed your last pre combat post. Your attempt to contact the Lorespire meets with little success. Dropped connections, busy signals, messages failing to deliver sna garbled text are all you get.

Lylo doesn't know what thus is but the rest of the party comes through.
These are Polyphonic Oozes, N small ooze.
Between the party you kind of know everything about them
They have ooze immunities and are immune to sonic
No DR or Resistances
They attack with a psudopod and can attach themselves to a target.
When attacked they damage your armor
They absorb sonic energy directed at them and then can release it in their psudopod attacks.
Purple looses a bit of cohesion as it is peices and red is struck soundly but doesn't seem to take any extra damage(ooze immunities).

Red charges up playing a fanfare. And attempts to smack ʀːi˧i˩ro, vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26. Damage(So): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Critical Damage(So): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
The blast of the trumpets shakes ʀːi˧i˩ro to thier core.

BOLD may act!

Are they mindless?

Are they mindless?

yes

Jasmine will mentally hurl something at the closest slime. It says this is a ranged attack spell, but does it use my casting ability or my dex? Going with dex, add 2 if it's my casting stat.
Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Slash: 1d6 ⇒ 5

as far as I know it uses your dex. I think casting ability for attacks in only a thing in PF2e

Blue and orange move up to Dafyd and attack

Kac 16 does hit Dafyd unless I missed an adjustment that did not make it into the final edit

Arggh get off my suit! Dafyd yells as to orangey yellow one hits him.

Kac 16 does hit Dafyd unless I missed an adjustment that did not make it into the final edit

** spoiler omitted **

I did forget the charge penalty so I belive that should be 14.

Took 7 sonic, stamina goes to 0.

The quorlu gets out of melee range before being killed.

Guarded Step, then move 20 away.

While their drone fires toward an enemy that does not have cover.

Orange seems to be the only enemy without cover.
Azimuth Laser Artillery vs EAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 for Fire: 1d10 ⇒ 3

Bonkers takes a guarded step back and aims his needle pistol at Blue...

owie! (Needler pistol): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Piercing damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
As with Purple, minor inhibitor, if it takes any damage from the attacks it is at -1 to hit for 7 rounds

The while Dafyd has a hard time connecting the volly of lasers and needles does some damage to the oncoming oozes.
Red moves up to Lylo and attemps to smack them with a psudopod.
slam vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Rlee-eelo grabs their seismic pick while ordering their drone to move and shoot.

Would shoot at red but no way to avoid cover without taking an AoO.
So move then shoot at orange again.

Artillery vs EAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 for fire: 1d10 ⇒ 3
That’s quite consistent!

Fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Lylo backs away from the ooze before him.

Burn! (laser rifle) : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Yes! Dicebot back to normal. :)

It looks like purple moved away from Jasmine, so I should not provoke an AoO. If I am wrong, I will five-foot, then use another TK Projectile.

Vs KAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Any error in position would have been mine, so don't worry about it.
Bonkers shot fails to hit the quivering ooze, but a peice of junk from nearby stabs into Purple.

Purple moves forward and tries to hit bonkers this time.

Shoot at the oozes Lylo

"I'm doing the best I can at the moment!" Lylo shouts back as he tries to find a position to fire upon another. "Absalom Station wasn't built in a day!" At least, I don't imagine it was.

"Why is this tracker so slow?" he mutters to himself, annoyed that he is unable to train his cybernetics on the other target just yet.

Ranged (azimuth laser pistol) v purple, combat tracker: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage (F): 1d4 ⇒ 4
