Take 20?
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
I think I just failed a spot check.

Yeah, taking 20 for a notice check is not going to work. Even for Belkar.
A pale, four-legged creature leaps from the cliffs, creating a rain of ice over the mechs.
Cold Damage: 6d8 ⇒ (7, 6, 5, 3, 5, 5) = 31
Bludgeoning Damage: 7d8 ⇒ (5, 5, 7, 2, 4, 7, 6) = 36

The marked area is difficult terrain and provides concealment and a -4 penalty to Perception checks.
It then vanishes
A picture of the creature is shown beside the map, but you can't see it now. Its initial location is marked with an X. Life Science to identify.
Round 1 - bolded may go.

How about its last seen position?
Ref Save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
When the first shards of ice hit, Telirix uses Shadow Knight's maneuverability to dodge the worst of the impromptu avalanche. When the debris stops falling, he kicks SK's jets into play and launches skyward.
Aid, Life Science: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
"Did anyone get a good look? All I can say is that I'm pretty sure it's not a crest-eater or a barathu."
Climb (fly) 40'. Have a good look around.
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

What was that?
Identify (Life Science): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21
For now he takes a moment to speed up the party.
[standard] Cast Haste on party
and continues looking around for signs of it.

Refl: 1d20 + 11 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 10 = 31
Yargnod throws Palisade Knight to the side as dense, hard chunks of ice rain down on them.
His response is all to predictable by this point and he launches a volley of rockets into the last spot they saw the beast.
Rocket Launch: 1d20 + 18 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 10 = 42
Fire and Piercing Damage: 6d10 + 11 ⇒ (10, 9, 3, 1, 8, 6) + 11 = 48 10' Explode
I have to admit, I still don't have the Mecha piloting rules down. I used my Refl save plus Palisade's modifier for the save but my Piloting Modifier plus the Base Attack Bonus for Palisade for the attack.

Sefel is not quite sure what or where the creature is, but figures that a haste spell will be helpful regardless.
Telirix can't spot the creature either, but feels an impact on his mech as he ascends.
Claw: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (13) + 29 = 42
Slashing and Electricity Damage: 8d6 + 24 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 6, 2, 2, 6, 5) + 24 = 53
A gash opens in Shadow Knight and electricity pours in.
Yargnod, knowing that the creature is near Telirix, do you want to change your action?
Round 1 - bolded may go.
Enemy (invisible)
Shadow Knight (-25 SP, -51 HP, 7 PP, haste)
Flame Knight (4 PP, haste, Reflex save)
Time Knight (5 PP, haste, Reflex save)
Palisade Knight (-25 SP, -3 HP, 7 PP, haste)

"It's right here!" Telirix pitches down and rolls so that he can unload his in the direction of his collision.

Yargnod, when he discovers the beast is attacking Telirix reorients his rocket launcher in that direction. He aims so that he will hit near, but not on Shadow Knight on the side where he thinks the beast is.

I imagine the cliff to the upper left of the map rises above our ledge and the lower left corner drops below. How tall are the cliffs?
Telirix jacknifes into a vertical climb. From this higher perspective he looks down on the battle field. No obvious clues to the creature's location except Flame Knight staggering.
Move action: Climb 40'
"Sefel, get up here with me! Yargnod, Mordak back to back across the ledge. "
I propose we cut the battlefield into two halves, so it has to come at Yarnognod and Mordak from upper left or lower right on the map. That should help us localize where it is.
Telirix fires near Flame Knight, hoping to drive the monster away.
Frost cannon, mech BaB, my BAB target blue dot on map: 1d20 + 10 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 9 = 36 ... damage: 6d10 + 11 ⇒ (6, 8, 1, 7, 3, 3) + 11 = 39
I suppose it's got concealment, miss on 1-50: 1d100 ⇒ 78
