PF2e Crown of the Kobold King Plus

Game Master djdust

Waedin absorbs the hit with her shield(absorb 5 and take 1 on shield and hp) and then swings twice to try and end this.

warhammer strike: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
warhammer strike map 1: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 5 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Shield up on the last action. Probably not needed though as that was one vicious backswing!

Ustemir fumbles around with his bow for a moment, his gauntlet not allowing him to hold the thing properly. He curses quietly under his breath, and jumps out of the cauldron to close distance with the slurk. "Coming, Waedin!"

Balance: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Waedin finally is able to bash the slurk, her warhammer shattering its skull.
Hit! Dead!

Combat Over!
Aftermath:
Ustemir (10dmg)
Waedin (29dmg)
Stepnik (5dmg)
Sebastien (8dmg)

When Ustemir arrives to help Waedin with the frog-creature, she simply smashes the creature's skull. he barely keeps balance when walking across the pool of... well, whatever that is, and stops himself when he sees the frog slump to the floor.

"Well, you got this. What now?", he looks around, and back up into the opening in the ceiling. Kolek watches patiently, but intently.

"Good boy. Wait there. We'll think of something.", Ustemir gestures to the bear cub to stay. He looks around, thinking.

"Um, guys, I hate to do this, but I might need help getting Kolek down. Any takers?"

What is the state of the cauldron and the rope and pulley contraption?

I need to fix my shield and get my wounds closed before we do... Waedin wheezes. Worse comes to worse we got plenty of rope on us and can lower Kolek with that. Shouldn't be too bad. Hope whatever's in the tunnels doesn't rush is all I can say.

The cauldron lays tilted to one side on the broken cavern floor. The cahins are still connected and climb up to the winch above. However, the winch can only be operated from the floor above.

You could climb up the chains and raise the winch, and then lower Kolek down, and then climb back down.

Can Ustemir handle it while Waedin gets healed and fixes her shield?

Realising someone ran off into the darkness, Ustemir sighs, and shouts into the ceiling opening. "A moment longer, Kolek. Wait where you are."

He quickly pulls out his first aid kit and starts working on Waedin's wounds. "Stepnik, you have any of your elixirs on hand to speed this up?"

10 minutes, Treat Wounds on Waedin with Assurance
Waedin 10 min: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

Stepnik looks down the hallway where the other one retreated, then up at the bear peering down the shaft

"Oh! Yes. Sorry my mind was elsewhere. I think I have three left but can brew up some more if you want to rest here for a while".

Stepnik offers the three elixirs (1d6 ea.) to whoever needs them most.

First heal: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Second Heal: 1d6 ⇒ 3

I'm going to try and fix my shield, you should brew some more Step.

If possible will attempt to use the repair action on the shield

Repair 10 minutes: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Shield damage - hardness: 2d6 - 5 ⇒ (4, 5) - 5 = 4

And shield is down 12 hp and... is broken!

Ganera... daammnit!

Sebastian wonders sadly over to the pummeled slurk. The Bard recites a few words then he graciously accepts Stepniks elixirs.
Elixir of life: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (5) = 9

After 20mins:
Ustemir (10dmg)
Waedin (14dmg)
Stepnik (5dmg)
Sebastien

As you recover from the fight, you may be surprised to find no further retaliation from the kobolds, although they must assuredly be aware of your presence by now.

I'm gonna say while Waedin works on her shield and Stepnik brews up more vials, Ustemir can fetch Kolek by climbing the chains and operating the elevator.

From here there are three exits. The fleeing kobold ran down the tunnel to the west, another tunnel leads north, and a large open door frame opens to a room to the south.

Waedin will spend the second 10 minutes casting her Mending spell which will bring her shield up to 13 hp and it's usable again

Waedin will opt for caution and not rush into where the kobold went. Vote South.

Sebastian seems willing to investigate the only actual door in this area.

The Bard still has Light cast on his Shield...

Ustemir will continue nursing people back to health while not hearing any noises from the entrances.

Waedin
2d8 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10 20 min
2d8 ⇒ (3, 8) = 11 30 min
Stepnik
2d8 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6 40 min
Ustemir
2d8 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6 50 min
2d8 ⇒ (1, 8) = 9 60 min

Finally, Ustemir stores away his medicine kit, and looks at the hole in the ceiling. "Coming, boy. Wait there." He attempts to climb up to help Kolek reach the lower level. Once up, he scritches the bear, apologising for taking so long. "All right, let's get you down. Stay still." Ustemir ties a rope around Kolek to form a harness before lowering him down gently, then climbs back down.

I don't know how many rolls you want here, so I will just toss a few in. Let me know if you need more.

Climb up, Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Lower Kolek, Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 Hero point
Lower Kolek, Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Climb down, Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Hope those work. And I assume that's my last hero point for now.

Stepnik helps Ustemir lower the bear viewing the apparatus carefully and wondering how he would improve it.

RK: Crafting 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Stepnik wipes the sweat from his brow with a stained cloth that leaves a reddish brown streak on his forehead.

"Boy! I hope there is another way out. As hard as it was to get him down it will be twice as hard to get him back up".
