"Oh. Thanks." He says to Kyra before moving into the room.

"Yeah, we should be more careful" as he trudges toward the next door with his shield raised.

What is that thing in the middle?

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Isolde will try to stop this strange trap from working (Thievery +7)

Isolde, which corner are you going to try to disable? The one with the X on the map is smashed.

Valeros -- which middle? the fountain??

Yes. I think.

The corner closest and then she will work her way around.

Yes. I think.

It's a statue of a mermaid that appears to be about to blow a kiss.

"I'll just wait out here until you are done with the room. No need for all of us to get slammed."

does it seem animated, or does it look like a trap being sprung?

Or is that where the blast of water came from that injured Valeros?

The water came from the statue.

Well, I don't think that I should attack a statue, right? So, I'll hop out the next door.

◆stride

◆raise shield

Valeros raises his shield and runs out the Northern door. As the door opens, the smell of rotten fish and mold wafts out. On the west side of this vast room is a large table with benches on either side. Old food scraps, dirty knives, and broken plates cover the table. Off to the east side, burrows have been dug into the wall to make small sleeping chambers filled with straw mats. This must be the kobolds’ warren!

Lonely grabs up his spear and runs at Valeros, trying to poke the intruder with it.

Spear vs Valeros AC 20: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Earthy and Sunshine are equally startled by the sudden appearance of Valeros. They also grab their spears and charge at him.

Valeros, you can shield block if you want

"Valeros?", Kyra exclaims as he darts from the room in mid-inspection.

Speaking of which, Isolde said she was investigating starting with the closest corner and working her way around. How far did she get and what did she find before Valeros went solo?

"I don't like traps behind us Val!"

◆ Move
◆◆ Disable Trap: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Valeros will shield block, reducing the damage.

"Sorry Isolde, I got confused!"

Ezren follows Valeros out of the fountain area. He raises his shield upon seeing another group of hostile creatures that are attacking them.

"Valeros?", Kyra exclaims as he darts from the room in mid-inspection.

Speaking of which, Isolde said she was investigating starting with the closest corner and working her way around. How far did she get and what did she find before Valeros went solo?

When Isolde announced that, I went into Initiative. It wasn't her turn yet when Valeros went solo so she hasn't moved yet. Fun fact - this actually happened during a workplace game. Needless to say, the results weren't pretty...

Isolde successfully shuts down the corner mechanism. The mermaid statue swivels to the NW and NE corners and sprays water at it. Fortunately, nobody is standing there. 2 corners left

From the northern corner of the room, a kobold (Fishy) runs to the chest, opens it and pulls out a bottle of something. Yawning joins Fishy at the chest and also pulls out something. Sleepy, on the other hand runs to the table and picks up some of the food they were eating (not enough to do anything else with it).

Kyra what are you doing?

Kyra has absolutely no idea what is going on in the other room. she cannot see it from where she is and nobody has said anything. And then there is all that nose being made by the fountain.

"Is it safe to enter yet, Isolde? Valeros, what do you see?"

"Kobolds. I see dirty little kobolds, but I'm fine. Just don't let that statue blow you a watery kiss or anything"

Isolde moves to the next corner and tries to break the trap. Thievery: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Ezren moves to help Isolde disable the traps. He goes to the one she has not touched yet, drops his weapon, and begins disabling it.
Thievery: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Ezren, the other undisabled one is the NW one. The ones with an X have already been disabled.

Ezren disables the Northwest corner but Isolde is not as successful.

Sleepy picks up some of the food on the table and hurls it at Valeros.

Rotten Food vs Valeros AC 20: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

He then grabs his spear and prepares to defend his home.

Fishy and Yawning both pull out vials from the chest. Yawning runs forward and hurls the bottle at Valeros. The bottle misses but shatters on the floor where Valeros is standing.

Bottle vs Valeros AC 20: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Fishy does the same, but hurls the bottle at the floor in front of Valeros instead.

Anyone going through the squares with the orange coloring must make a DC 10 Acrobatics check to avoid falling

Oh dear...

Valeros attempts to enter the room, clear of the slippery substance, but falls right on his butt. sputtering back to a standing position, he tries again, and enters the room, in front of fishy. Seeing himself all alone, he raises his shield rather than attempt to drop a kobald.

acrobatic: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Kyra follows along behind, reaches the slippery spot Valeros just vacated and...

Also lands on her butt. Getting to her feet she raises her shield in anticipation of more Kobold shenanigans.

* Stride
* Stand up
* Raise Shield

the DC is 10 and you rolled a 10, so you succeeded!

Nice, then she moves on to the next square...

acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

and falls there instead :)

The mermaid spins around and fires a jet of water at both Ezren and Isolde.

Bludgeoning, DC 15 Basic Reflex: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Valeros, you fell on the first Acrobatics check. So you would need 1 action to stand. For your 3rd action, you can either raise your shield or stride, but not both.

Kyra - you fell on the 2nd Acrobatics check, so you're prone and can't raise your shield. So you'd need to spend your 3rd action getting back up (or something else you want to do)

Ezren and Isolde - You can declare your actions but they won't take effect until Lonely and Sunshine act (unless your actions are in the fountain room)

Ah. I will raise my shield.

so the acrobatics checks take an action? I thought they were just results of attempting to move through the square. So move (and fall which requires no actions), stand which requires an action, and raise shield which requires her third action. Why the extra action? Is she not able to do a full stride through both squares and it is an extra stride to move from the first greased area to the next?

Kyra - It appears I misread the Acrobatics checks as 2 separate stride actions. My bad. Sorry about that.

Lonely runs up, carrying a third bottle of oil and hurls it at Valeros.

Oil vs Valeros AC 20: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

The oil misses Valeros but breaks on the floor at his feet, covering it with more oil.

Sunshine steps forward and hurls what appears to be rotten meat at Kyra.

Rotten Meat vs Kyra AC 18: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Sunshine laughs as Kyra is covered with rotten food.

Kyra - you now take a -1 penalty to all DCs and d20 rolls due to the gross food all over you. You can remove the penalty by spending 1 action to clean off the food.

Kyra wipes the mess from her face and fans her hand at the creatures in front of her. Though far less effective, it still gives her the satisfaction of splattering them with the disgusting goo.

"Obnoxious things!"

Keeping her fingers fanned she blasts the three in front of her with a fan of flame.

DC 17 burning hands damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

"Food is always better cooked, don't you think?"

Kyra wipes the goo from her face and unleashes fire from her fingers. Sunshine, Yawning and Fishy manage to duck and avoid the worst of the damage.

You can ignore the top slide (the larger map) for now since the Fountain is no longer a threat.

"Well done," Ezren commends Isolde's skillful disabling. "Let's help the others on the next room. I wonder what happens now to them." He says while moving to the next room. He is about to stop when he sees something slippery on the floor...

DC 10 Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Hero Point: DC 10 Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

... but he continues anyway, getting past Kyra that smells like rotten food. "What happened to you?" he asks her innocently before sending a mental jolt to Fishy

@Ezren
There are two patches of slipperiness to get past. It may not be obvious since Kyra is standing in one of them. In any case to get to your current position you need to make TWO acrobatics rolls. If you fail the second one you will plop down in the square Kyra is in, or perhaps the earlier one since PF does not like folks sharing squares in combat.
