Green gives a small start of surprise as the much larger Sal’Era faces him. Success

They are not impressed by the attack though.

I'm assuming we had time to refocus

Lokaloka immediately raises her pipes and plays a jaunty tune.

Performance, Wind Instruments(Virtuosic), Maestro's Instrument: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35 Crit?

Growling at the distance to Yellow, she unleashes some metal darts at him

Needle Darts, CA: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 1 = 24 for Piercing, CA: 5d4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 4, 1) + 1 = 16 Critical Hit: Double Damage + 3 persistent Bleed

◇ Lingering Composition
◆ Courageous Anthem
◆◆ Needle Darts vs Yellow

DC by level for level 6 is 22, so yes that is a critical success.
You spent about 20 minutes since the last battle, so yes you had time to refocus.

Lokaloka starts quite the jaunty little tune on her pipes and gets everyone feeling energized.

She follows up with sticking needles into Yellow. Yellow blocks some of that with his shield but in return his shield is broken.

Orange gets out his warhammer, raises his shield and moves up.

Round 1:

Bolded may act.

Courageous Anthem +1 Hit, Damage, Fear Save until Lokaloka round 5.

Clover casts Sudden Bolt on Green and moves into the room. She smiles pleasantly at Yellow. "If I were you, I would run now."

She says it casually, in a friendly manner.

Because she doesn't have enough actions left to intimidate him.

◈ Stride
◈◈ Sudden Bolt vs Green Electricity Damage (Reflex DC 22): 4d12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5, 9, 8) + 2 + 1 = 28

Orange ducks the wrong way and is nearly taken out by Clover’s spell.

Professor Bun Bun moves up and blasts the guard in the orange surcoat with mental agony.

phantom pain vs orange, will save DC21: 4d4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 3) + 1 = 13

◆ Step, ◆◆ cast phantom pain r2

Although Orange resists part of the spell, it isn’t enough to save them. They go down.
Orange Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
The orange polygon is their intact shield

Purple Najid steps up next to green and gives Stitch an evil smile. “You are the Pathfinders. Let me introduce myself, I am Burning Silver Najid. Please listen closely now…”

Then they scream right in Stitches face!
DC 21 Fortitude save vs the scream please

The bodyguard beside them positions themselves so it is harder to hit Najid.

Then they swing at Stitch twice. Neither swing hits.
greatclub: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

"I heard you, no need to yell!" Stitch responds by bravely ◆ raising his shield and wondering how long his luck will hold out.

"Meaty, flatten that yellow one with the busted shield!" He ◆◆ commands, hoping to save himself or Clover an incoming beating from the flanker.

Meat Wagon obliges, lurching at yellow with his reinforced bumper, old bits of dried carrion decorating it like one hell of a Halloween display.

◆ Melee Strike (Overdrive): Bumper Ram vs OG?: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Damage (B): 2d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 + 3 = 12

He follows up with the mower blades, adding in an extra pass for good measure, he likes a fine mulch.

◆ Melee Strike (Overdrive): Mower Blade (Agile)(Finesse) vs OG?: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 4 = 27

Damage (S): 2d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 + 3 = 11

Oh my doesn't this feel nice...

The display is awe inspiring and frightening at the same time as Clover and the red guard are caught in the heavy red spray.

That is a first for me.. triple natch!

Yellow goes down after the second hit from Meat Wagon.

Where do you want to direct the last attack!

Well that was too easy. You're next.

Last Attack Target: Green 1, Purple 2: 1d2 ⇒ 2

In spite of how well aimed the last attack was, it only manages to hit Najid. Miss turns into a hit

As Meat Wagon attacks Najid, their bodyguard swings their club. “Don’t attack the boss!”

◈◈ Sudden Bolt Electricity Damage (Reflex DC 22): 4d12 + 2 ⇒ (12, 4, 2, 4) + 2 = 24

The bodyguard is frightened by Clover’s words but still is able to avoid the worst of her discharge. That doesn’t matter because what did hit was enough to take him down!
Reflex, frightened 1: 1d20 + 12 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 12 - 1 = 28

Red raises his shield, steps up and swings for Meat Wagon. “I don’t know what this metal thing is, but it is more dangerous than you goblin!”

“I don’t know what this metal thing is, but it is more dangerous than you goblin!”

Stitch looks innocently from side to side, trying to keep a straight face.

Professor Bun Bun puts on his teacher voice and scolds the remaining guard. "Right! That will be all from you young man. Put your weapon down at onthe and thurrender or thuffer the conthequentheth."

Red is frightened by the professor’s outburst. In spite of that he resists some of the spell.

Najid draws a second short sword so they now have one in each hand.
Then they tumble past Sal’Era and strike at Professor Bun Bun. The strike narrowly misses.

Lokaloka looks startled as Najid ends up behind the party. She quickly pulls something pink out of a pouch.

"Yous thieves left in sym..sympsium! I's giving back to yous!"

The item turns out to be the hardened, solidified piece of gum she found under a seat. She lets fly at Najid.

TKP, CA: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 1 = 29 for Bludgeoning, CA: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 4) + 1 = 16 Critical Hit: Double Damage

◆ Interact to Draw
◆◆ TKP vs Najid

"Crack that red tin can and give them a quick mulch Meaty, we got the loud one to chase down." ◆◆ Commands the nondangerous Dwarf before again ◆ raising his shield.

Really loud heavy metal music pumps into your brains, somehow coming from Meat Wagon's exhaust. They're having a very good time. I love the sound of metal hitting meat, ooo baby!

◆ Melee Strike (Overdrive): Bumper Ram: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 Damage (B): 2d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5, 8) + 4 + 3 = 20

If the first two strikes down red Meat Wagon's third action will be to pursue purple 25'. Otherwise will make the 3rd strike below.

"Jiggs!" Sal'era looks concerned as Najid ducks underneath her. "Dammit."

"Don't worry about me, honey." His staff bursts into flame as he ◆Steps into flanking with the Professor.

◆◆Act Together: Jiggo will take 2 actions, Sal'era takes a bonus action.

"Surrender to justice or face the consequences!" He raises his flaming staff as he ◆◆casts >Ignition<.

Spell Attack, Courageous Anthem: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 1 = 14
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4) + 1 = 11

"Plenty more where that came from!"

Sal'era sighs as Jiggo swings nowhere close to his target. "Alright Red. Let's get this over with. My husband needs my attention." She opts for a tail slap to knock the Red guard out.

◆Tail: 1d20 + 14 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 14 - 4 + 1 = 20
Nonlethal Bludgeoning Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3) + 2 + 1 = 12
+1 extra spirit damage to unholy creatures and creatures with weakness to holy.

Nijad looks truely disgusted as the wad of hardened gum hits her.

Meat Wagon hits with the bumper, misses with the mower blade but that just sets up a perfect hit as it moves back with the mower blade.
Red is down hard.

Jiggo misses with his spell.

Red was already downed by Meat Wagon

Sal'era prepares to kick the remaining guard but that's not happening anymore.

"Bun Bun, Lokaloka. Back up." Sal'era finds herself too big to really move in without moving around Najid or stepping on one of Jiggo's teammates.

I'll forfeit Sal'era's bonus action. No targets in range and she's too big to Stride 25 ft without stopping on a teammate. Najid would require Acrobatics checks to move around as difficult terrain.

"Eep!" Professor Bun Bun moves to relative safety. He then unleashes a blast of cold on his attacker.

frostbite vs Najid, cold, fort save DC21: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 4) = 12

◆ stride, ◆◆ cast frostbite

Najid takes the full effect of Professor Bun Bun’s spell.
Fort, Frightened 1: 1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 11 - 1 = 14

“That is right, run away little bunny!”

He turns to Jiggo who is right there and say “Have a special treat!” as a spark of energy covers her blades.
She strikes with both blades at Jiggo. As she strikes, the blades ignite! Only one of the two hits, but it hits hard!

Jiggo shakes his head. "It wears off after a minute, sorry!"

Sal'era fidgets. "The spell made my butt too big..." She mumbles.

Delaying until Lokaloka moves.

Lokaloka gets out of Salera's way but seeing Jiggo hurt, she sends Salera some much needed healing.

Soothe, Lvl 3: 3d10 + 12 ⇒ (10, 7, 2) + 12 = 31

"Yous gives him hell, Salera! Then I's give yous pickle to celebrate!"

Meat Wagon's engines drop down in gear once again, chugging ahead as he rolls between Sal's legs and down the hallway to try boxing in the purple woman. The gore covered bumper rams as the humming blades look for their own opening.

◆ Melee Strike (Overdrive): Bumper Ram: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

◆Act Together: Sal'era takes 1 action, Jiggo takes a bonus action.

As Sal'era ◆Strides into a flanking position, Jiggo ◆casts >Shield< to protect himself.

Then he ◆◆Casts >Ignition< and swings again at Najid.

Melee Fire Damage: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6, 4, 2) + 1 = 14

"See?" Jiggo's staff bursts into flame long enough to wallop Najid.

Sal'era sports a sly grin. "Love when he gets feisty."

Jiggo has +1 AC from Shield. Will use Shield Block for Hardness 10 if the attack deals at least 10 damage.

Sal’Era moves into the hall, flanking with Jiggo.

Then Jiggo causes a burst of flame to strike Nijad.

Bludgeoning: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 6) + 1 = 19

Clover’s projectile misses Nijad.

Nijad once again causes energy to well up and then strikes Jiggo twice with her short swords. Jiggo’s protective shield spell is shattered.

Seeing another wound suddenly appear on Salera, Lokaloka screeches angrily. "I's had enough! Yous stop hurting friends!!"

She steps up to the door and unleashes four pickles of force at Najid.

◈◈ Force Barrage, R3, CA: 4d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 3) + 4 + 1 = 18

◆ Stride
◆◆ Force Barrage, R3

Lokaloka hits Najid with the pickles and the kitsune falls over, dead.

Combat over

Looking in the room, you find the stolen research in a hastily packaged bundle on a table at the far side of the room. With it is a note on top, discussing a potential buyer, but with no identifying information as to whom the buyer might be.

Also in the room are several rubies, and sapphires on the table, worth a total of 90 gp.

Jiggo's magical shield shatters and the blades cut deep. But it stalled for time and rallied the teammates. "The price of greed is infinite." He shakes his head sadly as Najid drops.

"Looks like that is all of the research. And we have a few of the thieves unconscious in the other room." He sighs and tries to stabilize as many as he can.

Once that's done, Sal'era begins doting on him. "Where's the cut? Over there? Hmpf. That was stupid, but brave. You stay back, I do the fighting."

Jiggo will spend 10 minutes Refocusing.

"If we gather the wounded and Jiggo together, I can heal everyone at once with Phoenix fire." Then she pauses. "Let's tie them up first."

Clover looks through the research papers to make certain that all of it is present and accounted for.

"Woah now Meaty, let's leave that last one in one piece just in case." He manually shuts off the mower blades and rolls back into the room to give everyone a tad bit of breathing room. "Think there's more down here? That one seemed to yell like the leader, shrill even."

While the others heal the flesh, Stitch takes a minute to repair Meat Wagon's dents and check under the hood, wondering just where all that new found power and blood thirst came from. I'm going to need to rename him Meat Plow, not Meat Wagon. Yikes.

Craft: Repair vs DC20?: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 2930 = 30

After everyone is back to tip top shape he joins in on searching the room and bodies for useful items and information. He'll even stabilize the dying if they're still alive.

There doesn’t appear to be anything else of immediate interest in the hideout.

You return to the academy, bringing back the research data. You initially meet with the Grand Princess and Kreighton in a private room. The Grand Princess sets aside the newspaper she was reading to hear your report.

She then calls for a guard to take the materials to the various researchers so that they can verify that everything is there. She calls for all of you along with all the researchers and their entourages to be brought to the palace as her guests. She will address everyone from her throne,

She leaves the paper on the table and leaves with her guards for the castle.

Kreighton asks “Now, was there anything to report away from the Grand Princess before we go to the castle.”
