Standard Action: Inspiring Boost on Trylara (20 SP restored)

The shot blows one of Eselar's hands clean off! Thankfully he has 3 spares! I've never encountered this in Starfinder, so I don't know it's effect or how to get it fixed.
Ohmarc tries again to scramble the foe's mind Will:1d20 ⇒ 14, but it only works a little.
Endre keeps the party's morale up while also giving special care to psych Trylara up.

I'm slightly confused, because in an earlier post, you mentioned Red dropping to the ground, twitching, after Alpha's attack, but he is still on the map, and I think he took a shot, so I assume he is still in the combat?
Regarding the hand, well, a cybernetic limb is only 100 credits... There is a demon in a Season 1 scenario that has a special attack that literally incinerates limbs!
Alpha keeps trying to put Red down.
Trick Attack - Take 10 = 36. Flat-Footed for 1 round.
You are correct. I apologize. In my autopost I never pasted over the previous update. I could have sworn I did. Let's rewind juuuuust a bit. The biggest change is Was the crit red or black? Red =2:1d2 ⇒ 1. Back to four hands! Moving Alpha's attack to Black
Alpha's shot is dead on!

While Trylara looks ready to explode, she sees too many innocent bystanders. She instead steps to get the chainwielder in a flank, and swings again with her axe.
By now the building has largely cleared out, leaving the assassins and the dignitaries. Trylara thinks it'll be "safe" from collateral danger now.
In the meantime, her solarian axe does a number on the chainwielder!
Unfortunately Eselar's longsword cuts only air.

Iseph tries to push the chancellor back towards an exit, firing their pistol at the chainwielder.
attack:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 damage:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
On the floor the two remaining assassins move in towards the High Chancellor. Since they're still engaged by Starfinders though, they keep their attacks focused on you:
Chain v. Iseph:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29 for DMG:1d8 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 Disintegrator v. Eselar:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 MISS
The sniper to the southwest though now has a clear line and opens fire on her! "A gift from Zon Kuthon!" Sniper:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19 HIT!
All eyes turn towards the assassin's bullet!

Trylara is concerned about the sniper, but can't leave the chainwielder who stands right next to the High Chancellor! She moves into position, flanking with Iseph. If he doesn't have reach, I can take a path that doesn't provoke.

"Keep it up, folks! We have to end this quickly!" Endre calls out, encouraging his allies as he takes aim as he fires at the chain-wielder. He then activates his jetpack, gaining some altitude as he tries to get into the sniper's line of sight.
Standard Action Improved Get 'Em w/Attack, spending an RP to apply +2 Attack/+2 damage to all enemies. I believe I had a clear shot before movement. Move Action Fly 20 feet horizontal distance, gaining 10 feet of altitude.

Trylara ekes past the chain wielder to deliver a massive hit. He shudders and falls!
Alpha goes after the sniper with some of their own medicine, zapping open a wound!

Ohmarc moves quickly to see that the chancellor is only lightly wounded, and his spell undoes the worst of it. Unfortunately Iseph misses his shot, striking only the cathedral wall.

No worries, that happens to me with some frequency!
Eselar's longsword slams into the assassin, but he seems unfazed psychologically. Mostly because he's no completely unconscious on the floor!
The sniper doesn't stop though. He turns his aim on Ohmarc:

Trylara's shot nails the sniper, while not fatal the bleeding wound will do its work any second. Alpha's aim is just a hair off, but in the end it doesn't matter....
After the combat ends, a detachment of Stewards arrives and secures the
area, ordering all armed individuals (including you) to surrender themselves to the authorities until things can be sorted out. You are quickly released from custody after witnesses vouch for your innocence (including ALL of the delegates). The Stewards launch a complete investigation but cleary look to you for some help given the enormity of the situation.
"I Am just glad that we were able to render assistance before any permanent harm was done to any of those gathered here. These sort of inter-faith exercises are important for promoting peace and mutual respect, even if truly understanding one another is impossible."
They then discretely turn to the emissary of Zon-Kuthon.
"Those assassins claimed to be from your Church; have you heard anything about a breakaway faction of your faith? Not the usual young hot-heads, of course; these people seemed to be gravely disturbed. Assuming, of course, that they were telling the truth - they could have been promoting false news to try and throw us off the scent. Still, we have to start somewhere..."
Shadebringer Nevis and the other members of the Kuthite delegation disavow the attackers, claiming they’ve never seen any of the individuals involved in the attack before. While this is true, High Chancellor Cadusys doesn’t believe them.
Nevis looks at the party, having earned her respect this day, "Please let me help you examine these assassins. Let me clear our name."
Ohmarc starts in as Alpha gets thorough, REAL thorough with the human corpses...
Shadebringer Nevis and the other members of the Kuthite delegation disavow the attackers, claiming they’ve never seen any of the individuals involved in the attack before. True or not, High Chancellor Cadusys doesn’t believe them.
While examining their religious symbols notices the religious symbols, Alpha discovers that they are cheap copies that no self-respecting Kuthite would display publicly. When this is discovered, Nevis contends loudly that "the assassins are trying to frame my delegation for the attack!"
Ohmarc catches something else. He notices a tattoo on one of the assassin’s shoulders. The tattoo depicts an old-fashioned longsword on a field of red wings. Culture check!

Endre leaves the investigation to his more knowledgeable comrades, instead focusing on easing tensions between the delegates, particularly between High Chancellor Cadusys and Shadebringer Nevis.
Ohmarc doesn't recognize it, but Alpha and Eselar do. the symbol is the logo of the Knights of Golarion, a military organization with close ties to the Pact Worlds, the church of Iomedae, and the descendants of lost Golarion!
Endre keeps the situation calm enough. He does pick up once piece of news
though as the two settle down: she recalls that her assistant, Vestralis Horatore, excused himself just before the attack. As he has not returned, she is concerned for his welfare.

” High Chancellor Cadusys, forgive me for inquiring upon your business but this may help us know more about motives in the attack. Were you brokering any deals or enacting policy that would attract the attention of any extremist factions within the Church of Iomede?”

"With all due respect ma'am, you were a major part of getting this summit arranged. As a result, you invited numerous faiths here, many of which your church has historically wanted to kill by any means necessary with little regard for due process or any proof of a crime. It is understandable that your actions in setting up this summit would get some extremists riled up. With the setting and high tensions, it would be an easy task to pin the blame on some else, namely the Kuthites, so they would be blamed. This would lead to outrage against them, particularly if the assassination attempt had succeeded. With you out of the picture and tempers in your faith rising, they could easily get someone with more, useful, beliefs into your position."
"I don't. I... I can’t call Vestralis on his comm unit either, as he was using a different comm today. His personal comm unit was malfunctioning, so he picked up a tempcomm in the interim."
you get a priority one message on your comms before she can finish.
Celita’s voice sounds relieved even through the static of the commlink. “Excellent, you aren’t dead. Noname chanced upon an encrypted series of transmissions from the cathedral just before the attack. Once the attack occurred, she used the station’s net to triangulate the transmissions’ locations. Whoever was issuing orders for the attack was at the train station nearest the Cathedral. There’s a train leaving that station in 5 minutes heading to the spaceport. Hurry there and try to spot them. We’ve alerted the authorities, but they’ll never move fast enough. Go!”
