Slowed by the strange phenomenon occurring here, Dennis moves and hit the robot.
Charlies boosts and protects his angel who moves closer to the enemy.
Zhamie hits the creature in a loud *bang*
Jaxon jumps at the robot and hits it right in a weak spot! and destroys it!
Radim throws his hammer and hits another robot!
Both robots diverts their power toward their strange weapon on their shoulder and shoots a beam at jaxon who seems to be the most dangerous creature.
The first miss, but the second hit Jaxon right in the eye, almost blinding him!

Dennis feels weird. Like he can't do as many things as he wants to do in this room. He doesn't like it. When Jaxon takes one of them down, he cheers, "Yay! I wanna fight like you when I grow up."
Looking around, the youngster decides he wants to stand where Charlies' Angel is. So he can threaten both of the metal men. It goes against every fiber of his being, but he waits.

Charlies and Estes moves together, with the angel giving way for the fighter without realizing it, and Charlies keeping himself next to the wall. Charlies then continues to protect his eidolon while Estes strikes #2

Dennis feels like he waited foreever for Estes to move out of the way. In reality it was about 6 seconds. The lad is sadly not blessed with a long attention span. "Finally! Thanks Estes!" Dennis steps forward and attacks the injured one.
If either enemy reloads/shoots/moves or does anything to provoke, Dennis will stab at the first occurrence.
Radim throws his hammer at the robot that his comrades are fighting making it its prey.
Jaxon moves and trips the robot then Dennis thanks to Jaxon's maneuver is able to hit the creature!
Charlies' Angel misses as Princess Clover while Zhamie recharges her weapon and gets closer.
Radim throws his hammer and hits!
The robot stands up, giving Dennis the opportunity to strike. His attacks almost cut in half the creature but it still standing!
It strikes Jaxon and its fist hits right into Jaxon's previous grievous wound! Knocking him out in a pool of blood!
The second one, empowers his strange shoulder weapon but its beam miss Dennis.

"Oh no."
Clover angles her mirror to reflect behind the construct, and the reflection in the mirror shows her standing there. Which she is, and clearly always has been.
The new version of her stands over Jaxon and is in a better position to help surround the creatures, but is also closer to the rift and turns to examine it.

Dennis cries out when our rogue falls to the massive hit, "Oh no! Jaxon! Get up! Please get up!"
Relieved that Jaxon is in good care, Dennis glares at the injured robot, "You hurt my friend. Time to die, metal-man!" Dennis pokes him twice.
Dennis moves NW of Jaxon and uses Battle Medicine.

Estes moves next to #3. He punches it while Charlies continues to protect him.

Princess Clover plays with the time for being at two placate the same time and determines that the purple gash is a moderate time rift caused by someone meddling with the Dimension of Time. Left unchecked, it will grow, causing more serious time anomalie.
She realizes that someone could close the time rift but that will take time.
Dennis quickly dispatches the already almost destroyed robot, cutting it in half! and follows up on the last creature .
Zhamie moves next to Jaxon and heals him with her forensic knowledge of medicine.
Recovering from the hit, Jaxon stands up and gets back in his fighting stance.
Charlies commands his angel to attack the robot, which it does well, hitting the creature from another time.
Radim throws his hammer at last standing robot that his comrades are fighting making it its prey.
The hammer gets right on the head of the creature!
The robot empowers his fist and strikes at the Angel, but misses.

Dennis blinks as one of his new poppet friends vanishes. He asks the remaining Princess, "Can you teach me cool magic tricks like that?" Within Clover's aura, Dennis feels even more invigorated. He calls out to his team, "Time to finish him off! But me first!" The youngster strides into a flanking position with Princess Clover and pokes with all his might at the remaining robot.

Estes continues to follow and attack the last robot while Charlies keeps protecting him.

In a furry of strike from the Pathfinders, the last robot is reduced into spare pieces!
Now that the menace is no more, the Pathfinders have time to take care of the time anomaly.

You start at Wounded 1, even though he did hit Dying 2 from a crit.
As the last metal men fall, Zhamie hurries up to Jaxon and attempts to improve on her earlier treatment. "'old still, mon ami. Zis vill 'urt for un moment."
Zhamie has a look to see if she can make enough sense of the rift to close it.
"Aiee! Zat 'urts!" Zhamie cries out as she falls backwards, dazed.

When the last robot falls, Dennis jumps for joy (figuratively, because he can't jump very high with his oversized full plate). "Take that! And don't come back!" Turning to Jaxon, the lad asks, "Mister Jaxon, you can have one of my potions." Dennis holds out a Lesser Healing potion.
As others investigate the anomaly, Dennis doesn't wanna miss out on anything, so he runs over and starts tinkering before the boring grown-ups tell him to be careful.
And Dennis is able to close the rift! As the time rift closes, four crates of equipment and basic supplies are displaced in time, coming to land in the chamber.
The gear inside is clearly futuristic, though the time it comes from is a mystery. The crates are labelled “Property of the Starfinder Society”, and they disappear soon after, along with their strange equipment...
After some time to patch wounds and focus Urwal appears from an adjoining corridor and gestures ahead.
I saw fire up ahead. Go investigate. Be careful. Be wise.
After a few twists and turns, the stone corridor transitions into a massive red stone cave. The ceiling collapsed long ago, revealing the night sky, packed with stars, and letting snow and wind into the ruins.
As you emerge from the cave, a band of four giant humanoids with four arms are setting camps nearby. Seeing you, a female that seems to be the leader take a step closer and says
Then, in another language asks

Dennis has fun making his new toy stop making weird sounds. Then he gets bored.
Just in time, Urwal suggests they go investigate something else. Dennis doesn't even notice the warning to "Be careful." He hears the phrase far too often and has learned to tune it out.
Running ahead into the large open cave, Dennis stares at the strange creatures with 4 arms. They speak in gibberish. Thinking it's a game, Dennis decides to come up with his own. He calls out, "Ellohay! Imay Ennisday! Eeway ancay akemay ewnay anguageslay ootay." He smiles, quite pleased with himself.

Jaxon winces at the cut. "Hey, that's ok, doc. Take what you can get sometimes. Ain't the first time I've been shanked. Although the beam of fire was sorta new." When Zhamie examines him, she sees a multitude of scars on the thug.
"Charles, ain't no way Estes can speak to them, right?" Jaxon motions to the four-armed people that he has no weapons.
The four armed giant humanoids doesn't seem to understand you, but they are not quite yet hostile.
Realizing that no one is able to understand each other, it's time for an alternative way to communicate!

Clover makes a show of stowing her weapon. She looks at herself in her mirror, just to demonstrate its purpose and show that it's not dangerous (which is even mostly true!).
She faces the strangers with a smile and curtsy, even taking her eyes off of them as she does so to show that she trusts them not to attack her.
...all while trying to figure out what they are, exactly.
The first attempts to communicate with the creature doesn't start well and they become more nervous than before.
Princess Glover doesn't know anything about the giant four armed humanoids.
Charlies and Radim finds better way than their comrades to reduce the nervosity of the giant creatures.
Princess Clover thinks that the creatures are the equivalent of giants that adapted to the coldness of the place and are certainly weak to fire.
After some adjustment, the team find the best way to reduce the tension with the giant humanoids!
You finally are able to convince Zaggarn’s band to stand down long enough for another Pathfinder group to arrive and offers your group a means of magical communication!
The leader introduces herself I'm Zaggarn, a representative of the shobhad-neh clans from Akiton’s southern Winterlands.
She explains that the hunters of her clan tell stories of this ancient ruin, where a horrible god from another world, or perhaps dimension, gave their ancestors visions of a strange arch. They used the arch, along with others who had the same visions, to peer through time and live other lives, but the arch only sent minds through time, and the bodies the travelers left behind were empty husks that soon died. Eventually, their overuse of the Eternity Arch attracted monsters and planar hazards like time rifts. Most of those who survived the calamity fled, but their ancestors shut down the Eternity Arch, sealed the ruins, and remained in the area as the site’s guardians, ensuring no others would meddle with the arch. Now, anomalies like those of the past have returned, and Zaggarn took a group of skilled survivalists out here to investigate.
The hunters suspect the Pathfinders to have been meddling with the ruins .
