With her Exocortex locked on to the closest creature, Kat takes her time to line up two shots. Her hope is to take the creature down and save Smiley from it's effects. She doesn't want Aravon riding on her back for three days out of here.

Locking onto the plant monster with laser-like precision, Kat5e scores a beautiful shot right in its center mass. The creature shudders and shakes as electricity coruscates up and down its leafy stalks. It clearly can't take any more punishment!
One of Kat's two attacks hit through soft cover. This plant monster could be knocked over by a slight breeze. Freeman is up.

Freemn moves slightly to get a better line of fire. Drone stays up near the top of the cave to try to fire over Aravon and Smiley...
Freeman:
overcharged ice carbine: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
C+P damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (7) + (1) + 4 = 12
Drone:
perferator pistol: 1d20 + 7 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 7 - 3 = 7
Sonic damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
static arc pistol: 1d20 + 7 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 3 = 21
Electrical damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Apologies for the delay. Was feeling a tad unwell yesterday. :)

GM Jhaeman |

Freeman and Drone combine to blast the plant monster to smithereens! But loud roaring sounds can be heard, and the remaining plant monster waves its toothy stalks around menacingly!
Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Aravon wakes from the paralysis with a roar. So do smiley which rushes toward the remaining plant.
Aravon punches
Entropic strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Treyvasho takes a step forward and slashes at the other plant creature.

GM Jhaeman |

Aravon smashes into the second plant monster with startling effect, while Treyvasho slashes away as well.
Hemlock sends a puzzled telepathic burst: "Dudes, are you like, dancing?" Advancing to the foliage, they broadcast again "There's a bunch of creatures back here!"
Aravon Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Treyvasho Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"You hear something Freeman? Sounds like we've got more trouble ahead"
Kat trudges into the room through the thick vines as far as she can. Her rifle whines as it powers up. Once she can see the other plant creature she takes aim and fires an overcharged blast.
Overcharge, Static Arc Rifle vs Blue EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Damage, E: 1d12 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 6 + (5) = 21
Crit Damage: 1d12 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 6 + (3) = 20 for a ridiculous 41 points of damage. I do have bad news, however. The Static Arc Rifle has the Arc critical effect, delaying 1d6 energy damage to the nearest creature. I'm guessing that doesn't discriminate against friendlies?
1d6 ⇒ 1 Oh thank god. Looks like it should be against Aravon.

"Sorry! My bad!"

GM Jhaeman |

The plant monster menacing the Starfinders is nearly jolted into the air by Kat5e's masterful shot! But somehow, it continues fighting!
Freeman's turn.
Kat5e Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Freeman and drone advance forward.. He looks closer in the area he thinks the giggling individual might be.
"There be someone hidden in this here area... Kin ya hear it's gigglin'?"
perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

GM Jhaeman |

Freeman and Drone advance to the edge of the foliage to investigate the giggling.

![]() |

"Aravon, that plant monster appears to be just an illusion. Keep pressing on in!"

GM Jhaeman |

"I'm not sure what they are," Hemlock broadcasts. "But the way is blocked by an obstacle." The khizar's plant-like limbs come down hard against the wall of foliage but with no effect.
Aravon Will save (+ally disbelieve): 1d20 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 4 = 7
Hemlock Strength check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Trey slashes twice at the plant monster, hoping to make it go away one way or another. Will save??
Slash 1, 4-armed: 1d20 + 10 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 3 = 12
zzzzorch: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Slash 2, 4-armed: 1d20 + 10 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 3 = 12
zzzzorch: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Well, that was terrible rolling. :P

Freeman shrugs. "Wooden fence, eh?"
He pulls out the proper tools and starts disassembling the fence.
athletics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Drone watches the beings inside, ready to fire if they have a negative reaction to Freeman working on the fence.

![]() |

Ah. My thinking was with it being a wood fence he could use a saw or such to start breaking through. I don't want to go in there alone so... he'll take a shot with his carbine since it does the most damage and he already has it out... :) It would be +7 on that attack.
C+P damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (8) + (5) + 4 = 17

Kat sees Freeman attacking the fence in front of him and moves in to assist.
Strength: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
She applies her mechanical advantage to the fence, hoping to break through a section weakened by Freeman's shot.
Delay until after Freeman I suppose & moved 15ft.

"Kat's right, it's not real," Treyvasho shouts, preparing to move forward.

Aravon realises the truth of what the others have been telling him: he's been tricked! The second plant monster must have been a deviously-crafted hologram!
Hemlock decides to help Freeman get through the fence. "Stand back dudes! It's about to heat up in here!" Their flamethrower blasts in a wide cone, charring some of the fence, but also catching something that must be hiding behind it! A sudden scream interrupts the guffawing, and a high-pitched voice can be heard from the other side of the foliage: "Hey, no fair! My buddy's a crispy critter now! Well, you asked for it!" Somehow floating over the top of the fence, a three-foot-tall purplish-blue figure with large, bat-like ears, needle-like teeth, and spindly elongated limbs appears. The bizarre figure lands on the far side of the clearing, sticks its thumbs in its ears and wags its hands back and forth. "Nah nah, can't catch me!"
The fence is still intact.
It would be a Mysticism check to ID the creature.

Treyvasho growls at the creature, quick draws her weapons and shoots at it.

Treyvasho's a fast-drawing gunslinger! Her cold ray grazes the three-foot-tall menace, but her acid ray seems to somehow veer toward Freeman instead! Fortunately, the dwarf ducks in time.
One of Treyvasho's two attacks hit the creature, but it's still up.

Kat wants the source of the laughter on the other side of the fence. She blasts it with her rifle while the rest turn on it's "buddy".
Am I understanding correctly, that there seems to be two combatants left?

"Whoa! Sorry about that, Freeman. These things are *weird*!"

GM Jhaeman |

Freeman and Drone let loose with a full barrage! But somehow, their energy blasts and projectiles swerve in mid-air and back at the group! Talk about friendly fire!
Meanwhile, Kat continues blasting away at the fence.
Freeman's attack is redirected at Drone and hits, doing 10 C&P.
Drone's first attack is redirected at Treyvasho but misses.
Drone's second attack is redirected at Smiley and hits for 6 E.
@Kat: Yes, you still hear some giggling on the other side of the fence. (You're gradually chipping away at the fence, but it has a little hardness which isn't helping.)

Suddenly, another one of the strange little creatures appears, hovering right above the top of the twenty-foot-tall fence. It stops chuckling just long enough to conjure a spinning disk of pure force that richochets around the room with violent energy! "Goobers drool, gremlins rule!"
The disk goes after (in order) Kat, Hemlock, Treyvasho, Aravon, and Smiley.
The disk misses Kat, crits Hemlock for 15 force damage, misses Treyvasho, misses Aravon, and misses Smiley.

Freeman's eyes go wide as the fire scatters everywhere.
"I HATE weird stuff..."
Drone gives a high pitched whine.
Freeman turns his attention back to the fence.
"See? Drone agrees!""

GM Jhaeman |

Aravon punches the fence with prodigious strength, nearly bringing it down. Hemlock decides to ditch his flamethrower for a swoop hammer and with a mighty swing, smashes the rest of the way through!
As the foliage-covered fence collapses completely, a hidden area is revealed. Desiccated flowers ring a sinkhole in the hidden grotto, while to the southeast a camouflage tarp covers a cage!
Meanwhile, the creature at the western end of the cavern stands with his arms crossed, blowing a raspberry at the Starfinders!
Hemlock's swoop hammer: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
