Probably three, if you are good at Tetris.
The cairn stands by a desolate, rocky beach along Genrovis’s southern coast, far from any signs of civilization. The journey from Mersall takes 2 days in a vehicle, traveling through fallow fields dotted with the rusted skeletons of irrigators and wellspring taps.
The forest thins on the approach to a steep cliff overlooking a rocky beach. Birds circle overhead, and foamy waves lap at the shore. Near the cliff’s edge, a domed structure protrudes from the ground, its glass caked over with dirt and plant growth.
There is no obvious entrance to the dome.
Yargnod is the first to locate the door, covered by overgrowth. The door is unlocked and opens easily onto a spiral staircase leading downward. It will be tight, but you can navigate Flame Knight down the stairs if you would like. Remember, in combat, i crewed, Flame Knight gets one standard action per pilot (maximum 2) plus one move action. Any two of those actions can be combined into a full action. The pilot(s) get no actions of their own.
>Slide 13< The square in the key does not match those in the map, but I presume the intent is 10-foot squares.
Within the cairn, time seems to flow strangely. Sometimes it feels as if everything around you is in slow motion; at others, that everything around you changes in the blink of an eye. This will have a mechanical effect later, but for now is just weird.
The spiral staircase winds downward, the notches and numbers etched into the stairs at intervals giving it the appearance of a clock’s face unraveled by a surreal dream. The stairs dead-end into a metal door.

Telirix comments, "Very Alysa in the Realm of Wonder. Who would like to wager the door is trapped?"

In noticing the slowed motion, Sefel will "hop" in the flame knight to see if it drifts more slowly to the ground.
It feels like a gravity effect, but I'm pretty sure it's a time effect.
Sefel looks around to see if there's a console or other hackable input related to the door.

Flame Knight falls to the floor more quickly than you would expect.
The door is made of a coppery metal. There is a single illuminated green button next to it, with no obvious locks or computers. The door is not trapped.

Yargnod keeps Justifier out as they head down the stairs. He doesn't enjoy the weird time effects. Time should just work, just like gravity, without any shifts to either.
Despite THAT particular blindspot, he's pretty clever when it comes to science...
Physical Science: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31
"This is horacalcum," he says, pointing to the button. It only takes a little more effort for him to extend that finger further and press the button.

Sefel braces himself when the button is pressed...

The team waits with trepidation as Yargnod presses the button.
The door opens.
The doorway leads into a small antechamber in which an outline of a dragon glides across the ceiling.

"Is each of the Knights is associated with a magical ore? What does horacalcum do?"
"Take the wheel, Sefel." Telirix dismounts from the mech, and shakes his rifle off his shoulder into his hands.
"What do you think? If we bring the mech in will any guardians here recognize it as a friend or will any traps be disarmed?"

"It affects time," Yargnod answers. "I'll bet the effect of the star metal and the abilities, or at least the names of the mechs match up. Flame Knight was in a vault that featured sicatite. I'll bet the one in here is the Time Knight."
He looks from Telirix to Flame Knight. "My granpa always used to say: better to have a giant killer robot and not need it than need a giant killer robot and not have it."

The lashunta grins. "Was your granpa an old soldier?"
Rifle ready he scans the room from the doorway. If it looks clear, he steps inside.

It looks clear, so Telirix steps inside.
Turns out, it wasn't.
A metal net drops from the ceiling onto the lashunta.
Reflex DC 20 to avoid.

Indeed.
As Telirix is trapped in the net, a surge of electricity flows through it. He takes 10d12 ⇒ (2, 8, 5, 8, 6, 11, 7, 9, 1, 3) = 60 nonlethal electricity damage and is unconscious for 1d4 ⇒ 4 hours (Fortitude DC 18 halves the damage and negates the unconsciousness).
Once the surge passes, two green-skinned creatures emerge from the door to the east, which closes behind them quickly. They take a defensive stance, rifles in hand but not aimed, and the one with the red jumpsuit calls out, "Why do you seek the sacred cores?"

Sefel looks at the creatures. They definitely have motives. Unfortunately, they were not kind enough to wear "I ♥ Ayleth" shirts, so there is no indication what side they are on, if any.
Telirix twitches on the floor.

Sefel casts psychokinetic hand and attempts to lift Telerix with it... until he remembers it can only handle one bulk.
He quickly stops before the hand inadvertently gives the fellow Lashunta a wedgy...
He shrugs.
Maybe I could cast flight on him and we could push around his floating body?
GM ruling?

Are you just going to start casting spells and ignore the potentially hostile creatures on the other side of the room?

Sefel looks at the ... potentially hostile co-inhabitants of the room and smiles sheepishly.
Hehe... don't mind us!

"Listen, that $%#@*ing thing shot down our ship, so now we're going around and collecting all these knights to that we can $%#@*ing. You can either help us, get out of our way, or get in our way. One of those is a very bad choice," Yargnod says.
Diplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 6
I remembered after I wrote that that Yargnod's only "social" skill is Disguise. Ah well...if this doesn't work, he starts blasting.

Yeah, failing the check to change their attitude by 22 will move things along.
The creatures raise their weapons. "We cannot allow intruders like you into the facility." says the one in red, while the other whispers something into a comm unit on their shoulder.

"You cannot stop intruders like us," Yargnod replies mockingly.
He doesn't like people whispering so he takes a shot at Blue.

Almost forgot this fun bit: During each combat round inside the cairn, roll 1d6 for each creature on its turn. On odd results, the creature is affected by haste for one round; on evens, it’s affected by slow instead. Enjoy!
Timey-Wimey, Yargnod: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Timey-Wimey, Green: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Timey-Wimey, Yellow: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Yargnod feels himself slowing down as he tries to fire on the whisperer. He's not able to charge Justifier as much as he wants before firing, but still hits the blue-clad guard. The fire does not seem to affect it, but the electricity leaves a mark.
The doors behind the two creatures open, and another pair, moving surprisingly fast, enter the room and take positions in the corners. They each fire at the nearest conscious interloper.

Sefel's first attempt at using a mech weapon leaves an impressive scorch mark on the wall, but does not harm the guards. He also notices that it is a line weapon, and though it fires from an upper limb (and thus did not hit any teammates this time), he will need to be careful where he points it.

Mordack is able to reach the guard in yellow, but feels too sluggish to swing his blade. You can keep the roll for next turn, though.
Sefel can barely manage to press the button.
The guard in blue is also moving slowly, and manages just a single shot at the operative.

Time doesn't keep on slipping into the future and Yargnod finds himself unable to calibrate Justifier.
He does manage to overcharge the emitter array on Justifier before taking another shot.
He also switches the flow so that the plasma he fires is full of impact rather than heat.

Time is a river and this location is a particularly turbulent area in its bed so there's no telling if you'll be caught up in an eddy or some rapids from one moment to the next.
Yes. You roll each round.

time: 1d6 ⇒ 6
as I'm slow I can't move and attack, so not trick, just the attack vs yellow hit: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17 vs kac dmg: 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (1, 5) + 11 = 17 piercing.

Time: 1d6 ⇒ 1 ⇒ haste
Now in position to not burn his teammates, Sefel hits the button and fires on GREEN.
Let's just use the last rolls since he couldn't take the action last round.
Rasping Rebirth | Defy the Dragon | Settling Accounts | Truth Keepers | Unearthing Ulumbia | Necessary Introductions | ◆◇↺
Sefel lasers the green-clad creature. That looks like it hurt.
Mordack swings, but without his usual tricks, he misses.
Time, Blue: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Time, Red: 1d6 ⇒ 4
The two sluggish guards each fire a shot.
Static Arc Rifle vs. Mordack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
Nonlethal Electricity: 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Static Arc Rifle vs. Yargnod: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
Nonlethal Electricity: 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
One of them finally finds its mark.

Time Shenanigans: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Abruptly, Yargnod feels like he's getting back all the time he's lost and those moving at what a normal pace to him previously are moving ridiculously slow, now.
He almost casually steps back from his attacker, calibrates Justifier against him and takes a shot.
Justifier (Doom Caller Desperation Cannon vs. Green): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 Electricity and Force (Calibrated): 3d12 + 11 ⇒ (10, 3, 9) + 11 = 33
Rasping Rebirth | Defy the Dragon | Settling Accounts | Truth Keepers | Unearthing Ulumbia | Necessary Introductions | ◆◇↺
Yargnod is so excited about being back in the fast lane that he fails to line up his shot corretly.
Time, Green: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Time, Yellow: 1d6 ⇒ 4
The two guards team up against Mordack, but because of their speed, the one in green can only position itself.
Mutating Touch vs. Mordack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
???: 1d20 ⇒ 8 Fort DC 15 negates
One day, perhaps.

Time is a weird soup: 1d6 ⇒ 2 ⇒ slowed
Sefel notices that the action outside and around him begins to speed up.
Uh oh...
Seeing the path still clear of his teammates, he quickly pulls the trigger against GREEN.
Plasma rifle attack GREEN, E and F damage: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 116d10 + 11 ⇒ (6, 7, 5, 5, 8, 9) + 11 = 51
He feels helpless, with the rest of the combatants moving somewhat more quickly. It feels like aiming where someone will be instead of where they are has become impossible.
That damage roll is sad to waste
