Professor’s style commentary is enough to distract Green.
Unfortunately the magic doesn’t take as Green angrily replies “It was my girlfriend who cut my hair. How about we cut and pound the stuffing out of you!”
Green then steps over Orange’s body and tells Stitch “Get this thing out of my way, I’m hunting disrespectful rabbits!”
He does show enough sense to raise his shield before slashing Stitch.

More people join in the taunting of Green about his haircut. Clover makes a comment that really throws him off.
She also provides another shade tree.
Yellow moves to flank Sal’Era with Red and hits her with his club. The tree takes all the damage.
“Dang tree, get out of the way!”
Their then strike directly at the tree, destroying it.
Red also attacks Sal’Era twice, missing with both attacks.
They then say “Better watch it gnome, we will break you and your little cauldron too!”
No doubt it is the part about Mr. Potbelly that does the trick.

I always know what to do here.
Its pretty obvious those strikes were a ploy, made in jest.
Lokaloka starts playing their song again and then sticks a bunch of sharp pins into Green.
Stitch verifies his shield is still damaged but useable.
He then leans way back and does some treatment of Jing’s wounds,
There is some confusion on the directions to Meatwagon. Stitch realizes perhaps he needs to be a little more specific with his orders.

"It's pretty busy in there..." Jiggo mumbles. "I'll make it busier."
Jiggo calls upon the boundless plains of Elysium, casting >Summon Lessor Servitor<. A >Lyrakien< hears the call and appears 25 feet away and 5 feet above the ground.
She uses an action to ◆Fly (I'm unsure how high the ceiling is, but the will try to be 10 feet above the ground.) "Hey! I was about to go on a race!"
"Sorry, can you help us? The soldier with the Green armor and the bad haircut is in the way-"
"Oh! Hi Jiggo! Say no more, I gotcha." She conjures a ◆Starlight Ray. "Zzaap! Bad guys!"
Sal'era focuses on taking Green down. She's flanked no matter where she goes at this point.
Jiggo calls a Lyrakien in to help with the fight. They nearly bump their head on the ceiling. Their little ray of light hits Green.
With all the distractions, Sal’Era gets a good hit in on Green.

They then say “Better watch it gnome, we will break you and your little cauldron too!”
Mr. Potbelly takes a couple steps backward. Clang-clang-clangity-clang!
"Oh hi Bot Buddy! Long time no see! We gotta catch up!"
Green takes the full effect of Professor Bun Bun’s spell.
Red ignores the professor.
Green turns to Sal’Era and says “Did you chip a claw?”
Then he raises his shield and attacks Stitch. He misses.

"Did you chip a claw?"
Sal'era pauses to check her claws. "No. Right?" She's momentarily Frightened 1 as she reassures herself. "I'm not THAT weak."
Green takes the full force of Clover’s spell. That is enough to drop him.
Yellow winds up and attacks Sal’Era with his club. Neither attack hits.
“Think we will need to take out the little gnome next.”
Clover is not impressed.
Red tries to do better than his partner against Sal’Era. He connects with one of his two swings.
“Maybe we should snuff out that light instead.”
The Lyrakein does not like that idea at all.

Sal'era doesn't seem to notice most of the attacks until one nails her and she feels Jiggo's pain. "Right. Sorry."
Jiggo taps his staff to focus and ◆Sustain his >Summon Lessor Servitor< spell. The >Lyrakien< frowns. "You d-don't care me!" And she unleashes a Starlight Ray.
Then she flies out of the room at 50 feet and lands near Jiggo on the ground. "I'll heal you in just a minute, Jiggo. I just need to... catch my breath."
Sal'era takes the opportunity to ◆Stride out of the flank and against a wall. "Right here, Jiggs."
Jiggo nods again and points his staff. A ball of flame leaps out and he ◆◆ casts >Ignition< against the Red foe.
"Oops! A little high."
The Lyrakein hits Red but Jiggo misses.
Red hightails it out of the room while Sal’Era gets out from between the two Aspis people.

Clover comes forward and strikes at Yellow. "You want to strike at the little gnome next? Well, this gnome is just plain tired of bullies that steal our research, blame us for the thefts and then threaten MY cauldron!" She reaches out a hand and strikes at Yellow. "I am the PHOENIX, and I'm coming for you!"

Lokaloka again renews her tune. This time trying to make it memorable.
"Yous threaten Clover?! Clover gets me new dress! Yous no threaten friend!!" Lokaloka screeches as she removes the lid of another pickle jar and causes what appears to be a pickle that has been soaking in something sticky to fly at Red.

Upon hearing the screams, Professor Bun Bun hops into the room to investigate. "Uh oh. Now you've done it. You've made her mad. You should've thtayed home and maybe gotten a hair cut from that guy'th girlfriend. Sure you'd have a bad haircut but at leatht you wouldn't be on fire." Deciding not to pile on to the poor flaming guard he clutches a pin on his robes and blasts the other guard with frost.

Things are happening so quickly. You look away for just a moment for that muffin you dropped from this morning's conference that rolled under the dash and all of a sudden someone's on fire and the taunts have turned to screams. "Well that escalated quickly." Stitch swallows hard and ◆ raises his shield before giving Meat Wagon the ◆◆ nod.
"Better go mulch red before it lands another whack on Sal."
Time to collect more red bits for my chassis. Soon I will have enough to reach full power!
Meat Wagon roars his engines and ◆ charges at the red human in AI rage!
Red’s teeth begin to chatter as the professor’s spell takes full effect.
Stitch raises his shield and gives MurderMobile Meat Wagon its next target.
Meat Wagon gets Red with both the bumper and the blade.
You’re pretty sure Red will go down the next hit, even if it is light hit.
Yellow calls out to Red “We better take out the driver of this machine before we are both done in!”
He steps over to where he can strike and readies his club.
The fire does damage but then goes out.
Red shifts his position to the opposite side of Stitch and Meat Wagon.
Once Red is in position, Yellow strikes.
Then Red strikes.
The flanking is effective, both strikes hit. “Didn’t work! The little guy is still active.”
Red decides to strike at Professor Bun Bun with his second attack.

Jiggo ◆Sustains his >Summon Lessor Servitor< spell.
The >Lyrakien< looks at Stitch. "Wow, what a brave Goblin! I'll heal him." A ray shoots out of her hands and hits Stitch, but it eases the pain of some of his welts.
Sal'era takes the opportunity to flank with Stitch and Meat Wagon by ◆Striding around the room. Then she ◆Strikes Red.
"That's for making fun of my claws." She pulls back before the claws can sink too deeply into the Red guy.
The flying ball of light heals Stitch.
Sal’Era takes down Red.
Clover shows she is not to be messed with. Yellow is already cringing in fear before the shock hits him. Fortunately he cringes in the right direction.

"Am I the little guy?" Stitch questions the room, slowly coming to the realization that he does look like a goblin now... and that white bird thing did just call him a goblin...
Stitch rages, ◆ pulling out a dueling pistol and firing at the yellow ruffian point blank.
BANG!
"I am a stout DWARF!" He nods to himself before giving Meat Wagon free reign to ◆ finish off yellow.

Insecure much?
Stitch shoots Yellow dead.
"Oh my Gods I'm so sorry!" The Lyrakien flies up to Stitch. "I've never seen a Dwarf like you and you're green and short and I assumed you were a Goblin. Not that all Goblins look the same that would be rude but it was an honest mistake and I hope you forgive me!" She bows repeatedly until Sal'era taps her head to calm her down.
Sal'era looks at Stitch. "She's sorry. Please forgive her so she can go home."
"Thanks for explaining, Sal'era! That's why you're the best!" The Lyrakien holds up a high five. Sal'era leaves her hanging before the azata gives up and goes to Jiggo for a high five, which he offers immediately before dismissing her.
Sal'era checks the bodies. "These two are still breathing. We'll disarm them and tie them up for questioning?"
Sal'era checks the bodies. "These two are still breathing. We'll disarm them and tie them up for questioning?"
Sal’Era realizes that only one of them is still breathing.
Stitch and Jiggo are still injured.
Searching the area your grouo finds a bundle of papers marked with the Aspis Consortium symbol that shows a number of targets for burglary by the organization. This list includes many minor nobles and shopkeepers.
You also find bronze Aspis badges on the people in this room.

Stitch reloads his pistol, frustration fading a bit from his goblin face after the well placed shot. He ignores the Lyrakien until it disappears. "I'm a Dwarf Ms. Pickles, I just look like a goblin." He adds to settle the discussion, getting back to the task at hand of healing wounds and fixing gear.
For once Meat Wagon didn't take a hit, which is too bad because metal and wood are much quicker to repair than flesh.. Or so you thought!
Meat Wagon releases a burning smell that Stitch sniffs up.
He resets the innovation and repeats it.
"Much better. Jiggs you're next." He has Meat roll over and repeat the healing fumes and then resets Meat Wagon's stability.
Once all the flesh and bone are restored he knocks the dents out of his shield.

"Oh, she'll be heartbroken..." Jiggo realizes Stitch never spoke to the Lyrakien.
While Stitch takes care of himself, Jiggo decides to patch up his wounds.
Or... try to. He'll use 1 of 3 charges from his staff to heal Stitch and himself quickly.
"Okay, that will help a little." When he realizes Jiggo
"Alright. This will provide some evidence. Should we search the rest of this basement?"
After a bit of healing and fixing of a shield, you are ready to move on.
There isn’t anything of interest in the hallway going west, but as you turn the corner and start northward you overhear someone gloating.
“Soon the Pathfinders will all be in jail and we can sell this research for a tidy profit. Once that's completed, we'll be able to move into phase two of my plans to punish the Pathfinder Society. Their master of scrolls is in town. I can probably get him no problem. And soon the Aspis will know my name, know all our names!”

Najid evidently spots you as they call out “Attack!”
He quickly draws out his short sword and dagger then moves to between the pillars.
Their bodyguard draws their greatclub and moves up. “Get ready for a clubbing!” he says to Stitch. This does not impress Stitch.

"I'm going in!" Stitch hollers out to the group, not wanting to get boxed into the hallway again. He lubes up with a healthy spray of WD5001 Patent Pending, ◆ raises his shield bravely and ◆ commands his trusty, 100% submissive steed.
"Charge!" Echoes out from behind the steel shield.

Tires squeal and Meat Wagon ◆ hurtles towards big bruuty with the greatclub.

Meat Wagon’s bumper manages to hit the bodyguard. “Offf!” Evidently the bodyguard is going to make Stitch wait a little longer for the promised clubbing.

"Hmm, they really like blocking us. Maybe we should block 'em first."
Jiggo casts ◆◆>Evolution Surge< and Sal'era grows Large. She mutters, "I feel so... tall."
Jiggo shrugs. "Don't worry about it honey. Just give us clearance."
Sal'era looks at the Green bodyguard. "Boo."
With her size, she reaches 10 feet over to ◆Strike her foe.
