Can't fail athletics

Radim Bleed Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Brunwulf Bleed Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Brünwulf kicks his flippers to stay in place and not sink. Losing blood, he feels very weak but must continue battling these terrible sharks.
Athletics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Annnd, he probably sinks.

He thrusts his longspear at the bloodthirsty shark accosting Olivia and Loong....

Annnd, he's probably dying.

How is this thing still alive? Olivia would stomp her foot in frustration if she were standing. Instead, she clenches her teeth and scowls at #3. She lets the tension build, then throws it out in one go as a force of pulsing energy.

"DIE ALREADY!" Frustrated, Flint swings his hammer as hard as he can:

ATK 1: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 1 = 31 for DOUBLE: 2d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 5) + 4 + 1 = 14
ATK 2: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26 for DOUBLE: 2d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 + 1 = 7

Kinda shocked at his sudden puissance, he raises his shield to see if he's done enough.

Wow!!

Brünwulf gives a thumbs up and a big grin to Flint.

Olivia will prepare to cast three Level 2 soothes.

The shark dowsn't stand much of a chance as Flint's hammer crushes its skull inward.

Brunwulf Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Olivia Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Out of Combat, but we still have several bleeding, lets see if we can get past that. Go ahead and roll the remainder of your rounds of bleeding. 1d6 Bleed damage followed by your flat check. If you have any in rounds healing, potions, battle medicine you would like to do post those as well.

Yeet == Lesser Healing Potions give back 2d8+5 instead of +3. You should have 2 more hp. :)

Thank you! Too much PF1 recently.

"I've been fishing hundreds of times at the river by my cabin in the woods, but, this was the first time I've gone fishin' underwater. Nope. Didn't like it. Those creatures were brutal."

"Ow!"
Brünwulf winces for a moment as Loong pulls on the thread to tighten a stitch in his wound. Loong then applies an herbal salve.
"You're a good man, Loong. I greatly appreciate the healing. After all of this is over, if we make it out alive, you'll have to show me your healing techniques and remedies so that I can learn a few of them."

"And many thanks to you, little lady."
He nods at Olivia with a smile of appreciation.
"If it wasn't for you casting that healing spell, I'd have been a goner."

With Olivia no longer in any danger of dying we will drop the bleed. and continue onward and upward.

Water lapping on stone is the loudest sound at the surface of the water in this chamber, marking its isolation from the rest of the Pallid Peak. The stone in the room’s center has broken away, and the water continues down into darkness. To the north, a wide hallway rises above the water’s edge. To the east, barricades of bone and rocks block two entrances to another chamber beyond.

The area is cool, dark and quiet, as it’s truly separated from the rest of the Pallid Peak. The water in this room is 30 feet deep in most places, with a further 20 feet of air above the water’s surface. The hallway and the chamber that lead on from this room are at the level of the water’s surface, with small puddles formed by lapping waves. Fallen rocks block the exit to the south entirely.

The algae doesn’t grow far enough down to illuminate the bottom but you can tell there is something there that catches your eye.

Can we assume we healed up completely?

Yeet is very interested in the shiny, but is not interested in meeting more shark-things. She takes a careful look around before descending further.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 Darkvision

Flint stays to the front, also hoping to get a glimpse of whatever it is with his keen dwarven eyes... Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Yes, you would have had a bit of time bewteen your treat wounds and the lay on hands to heal up quickly.

Swiming down to the bottom of the shaft you find several runes etched into the bottom. Upon returning to the surface Yeet describes them, but noone seems to know what they are or will do.

Leaving the starnge runes alone you exit the water, wringing out your wet clothes. Looking before you is a door, but it seems to be barricaded. Upon inspection, the barriers blocking these doors have telltale signs they were placed deliberately. Bones and rocks are lashed together with rope to create a fence. Through tiny gaps in the fence, you can see movement on the other side.

Do we all understand that what will be on the other side of the blockage will not be friendly to us? Radim turns the hammer in his hands and looks thoughtfully at the blockage. Is this the way we want to go further?

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 to find other path

"Well, it appears that would be the way to go. I have a feeling those runes may be a puzzle of sorts. Maybe opening a door somewhere or they might lower and raise the water level."

Brünwulf peers around the room for anything else out of the ordinary.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

A crowd of drenched Pathfinders is pleased to report that the Sunken Halls is cleared!

A courier arrives bearing a message: “All agents are to report back to base camp.”

Once the remaining teams have returned to camp, Venture-Captain Luna Aldred calls the Pathfinders together, “With everyone’s work, we’ve uncovered two new areas in the ruins. One follows an old caravan route through the mountain, while the other goes through an abandoned temple. Choose whichever route you prefer, but keep your eyes peeled, as we’re getting closer to Raseri Kanton. However, the Aspis Consortium is closing in. We’ll return to the ruins tomorrow and beat those snakes to the city. Rest up tonight and prepare for a long day tomorrow.”

Table GMs, begin Act 2.

My vote is for the way of the caravan.

Will go the direction of the first two agreed votes. Caravan route that you found evidence of slime or the Temple where you found evidence of infernal energy?

"Caravan Route."

Flint shrugs. While temples are more his style, he prefers action to sitting around like a bunch of elves contemplating their belly buttons, "Caravan."

Several Pathfinders come and call you back to camp for the night before taking the far deadlier routes further into the caves.

You have had a full nights rest to recover, heal, and get your spells back.

The upper level is a wide, natural cavern. Long ago, the dwarves who lived here cast shape stone and used stonecutters to smooth out the area. Abandoned wagons of metal and stone mark this as the start of a caravan
route, though any cargo that may have once been here has long since decayed. Approximately a thousand feet down the road, a set of double doors seal off the next chamber.

A warning sign in Dwarven reads “Maximum Width: 8 feet”. Mice scatter as you open the doors for the first time in a very long time. You recognize that a wide swath of stone has been damaged by the acidic trail of an ooze.

Something has drained the color and lichen from the stone here, leaving it smooth to the touch. Finely crumbled mineral deposits cover this room with dust. With the sizable amount left undisturbed, it’s clear that this area has been abandoned for years.

Slightly spread out you begins to slowly inch you way through the cavern when Olivia calls out to stop at the top of her lungs. She is the only to notice the strange shimmering in the torchlight as nearly all of you have almost walked right into four nearly translucent cubes that are all around you as several more begin to drop down from the ceiling with sickening plops.

Radim had no doubt what we would face here, so as soon as he heard Olivia's shout and the creatures appeared in front of the group, he immediately began to spin his hammer, aiming at the nearest one. {3}

◆ Hunt Prey + Monster Hunter ◆ Strike ◆ Strike

Flurry: +1 Striking Returning Light Hammer: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 202d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3) + 3 = 10 
Flurry: +1 Striking Returning Light Hammer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 272d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3) + 3 = 10 

Can Yeet have picked up a mace or a club overnight? She's discovered a serious lack in not having a bludgeoning weapon.

For once, Yeet does not enthusiastically tumble through the area presented by their foes. Given that she can see right through them, she doesn't anticipate being able to trick them either, so slashes away with her weapon.

+1 striking rapier: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 for piercing: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8
+1 striking rapier: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 5 = 17 for piercing: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6

She then casts Shield on herself
