At least the monster didn't crit, he comps through Aleons armor, the bites sinks in 1 millimeter less into my skin than it normally would. Hence Dr 1. 21-1=20. 18-1=17. 20+17=37. 128-37=91
Aleon attacks red.
1st action aim on red
2nd action, attack red with knife hit:1d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 27dmg:2d4 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 = 11 piercing dmg:1d6 ⇒ 5 electric
3rd action, attack red with knife hit:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36dmg:2d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 4) + 7 = 13dmg:1d6 ⇒ 3 electric
precision dmg:2d4 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

"Ooh, they came closer! They wanna play. Okay!"
Natalu adjusts his grip on his rotolaser and unleashes a hail of laser fire on two of the sharks as he laughs and laughs. "They're just too big for me to get 'em all," he observes.
◆ Grip weapon
◆◆ Autofire. Red and Blue are in the cone. If Blue is down, Natalu will aim the cone to hit Purple and Red instead. DC 30 basic Reflex vs fire damage:2d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 2) + 2 = 12 and sonic damage:1d6 ⇒ 5. Primary Target is Blue rotolaser:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35 for another fire:2d8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8 and sonic damage:1d6 ⇒ 6.
Any target hit by the attack, or that succeeds or worse against the area effect, is Suppressed until the start of my next turn and Off-Guard until the beginning of their turn.
Any enemy that critically fails the save (or is crit by the attack) must make a DC 29 Fort or be dazzled until the start of my turn and a DC 24 Fort save or be deafened for 1 minute.
Reaction if Primary Target goes down:
Collateral Witness. Natalu fixes his gaze on the other enemy he damaged and silently promises that it's next.
Demoralize:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (15) + 23 = 38

These things have good reach, which makes sense since they're so big. It would probably make sense to back up a big, maybe switch to using his stellar cannon.
Natalu giggles as he unleashes another hail of laser fire.
◆◆ Auto-fire. Apparently I overlooked errata a few weeks ago and have been doing Primary Target incorrectly. I make the attack first: rotolaser vs Red Shark:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38 for fire:2d8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 8) + 2 = 13 and sonic damage:1d6 ⇒ 5. If the attack hits and the target's Reflex save is a success, they get a failure instead.
Then Red and Purple can both make DC 30 basic Reflex saves against fire:2d8 + 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 2 = 8 and sonic damage:1d6 ⇒ 5
If hit by the attack or didn't crit succeed vs the area effect, they are suppressed until the start of Natalu's turn and thanks to his Dance! feat they're also off-guard until the start of their own turns.
Any enemy that critically fails the save (or is crit by the attack) must make a DC 29 Fort or be dazzled until the start of my turn and a DC 24 Fort save or be deafened for 1 minute.
If Red is defeated by that, as a Reaction Natalu Demoralizes Purple and gains a +2 circumstance bonus. In that case he'll use his third action to fly back a bit instead.
◆ Menacing Laughter to Demoralize all suppressed creatures (on the off-chance there are none, he'll just use a regular Demoralize action). Intimidation vs Red:1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 21 + 1 = 38 and Intimidation vs Purple:1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 21 + 1 = 25

"Stop biting people!" Natalu give the shark a withering glare.
Before shooting it some more.
◆ Demoralize Intimidation:1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 21 + 1 = 37
◆◆ Auto-fire
Primary Target:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28 for fire:2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 5) + 2 = 14 and sonic damage:1d6 ⇒ 4. If it hits and the Reflex save is a success, it becomes a failure instead.
DC 30 basic Reflex vs fire:2d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 1) + 2 = 11 and sonic damage:1d6 ⇒ 6
If hit by the attack and/or success or worse on the save, it's suppressed and off-guard.
If the attack crits or the save critically fails, it must make a DC 29 Fort or be dazzled until the start of my turn and a DC 24 Fort save or be deafened for 1 minute.
That's it, I'm calling it! After that murderous mental jolt from The-One and that strike from Iseph, that shark is a goner!
Combat over!
The crowd cheers wildly as the group settles back to normal grvity conditions, and is brought back to the green room to celebrate their victory, and await further instructions. Meanwhile, the shows continues with other contestant, all of which can be followed from the in-room projectors.
You have about two hour to rest
The stadium shakes as the screens briefly switch to a surprised Lethea and Quell. The faint sounds of screaming are audible upstairs, the chaos somewhat muted on the live broadcast as the announcers try to play off the sudden development as part of the show. But before they can finish reading the teleprompters, the screens in the green room project an image of Wazasha.
“I’m sending the elevator down. There’s been something of a… let’s just call it a bonus bonus round. Yeah, a bonus bonus round. Listen, if you can deal with this crisis like good contestants we’ll double your prizes. Oh, press the S button on the elevator for the Street Level Parking. The… event will take place outside the stadium. Just remember this is part of the show. Oh, and do hurry. We only have so much budget for… liabilities.”
'S' takes the group to street level, a plaza with a three-tiered fountain
at the center, which is topped by a statue of Zo! sporting his rictus grin and fingers guns.
The rim of the lowest tier of the fountain is 2 feet high; each subsequent tier is 5 feet higher than the previous. Spaces with debris are difficult terrain.
“Hey, those corpses look familiar, don’t they Lethea?”
“You’re right, Quell! I think they’re past contestants! Must have escaped from the Zo!Dome’s mortuary.”
“That’s right! Cause this is… the Reunion Special Bonus Bonus Spin!”
Well, Aleon had two hours to rest, he would have treated wounds on himself twice medicine:1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 1 = 17 Tactical medkit healing:2d8 ⇒ (7, 5) = 12 medicine:1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 1 = 20 Tactical medkit healing:2d8 ⇒ (7, 7) = 14 From 91, this Brings me to 117/128 before game starts.
Actions coming.
1st Action, I will cast Invisibility. Please tell me these guys aren't the like the things in tremors 1 or 2 and they actually see by heat vision or sound, that would make my invisibility useless.
Actions 2 and 3. Doublemove.
Welcome to the Reunion special bonus spin. Never mind those innocent bystanders, they're just well-paid extras!
and they're doing a very convincing job in running away scared!
Who isn't backing off is Aleon, he rushes straight at the enemy!
I need a DC 27 Will save for Aleon (mental/emotion/fear effect)
Frightful presence:
Critical Success The creature is unaffected by the presence.
Success The creature is frightened 1.
Failure The creature is frightened 2.
Critical Failure The creature is frightened 4.
Frightened
You're gripped by fear and struggle to control your nerves. The frightened condition always includes a value. You take a status penalty equal to this value to all your checks and DCs. Unless specified otherwise, at the end of each of your turns, the value of your frightened condition decreases by 1.
Will:1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25
The-One has scored a criticism hit! His judgement is sharper than Radat's, and the former contestants looks very unhappy about it!
Criticism damage:4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 2) = 11
Hey! That blob is throwing a camera it picked up! That equipment is expensive!
Camera Throw, ranged attack vs The-One:1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 353d10 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 7) + 3 = 12Plus DC 30 Fort save or be knocked prone[/dice]
And there go the stage lights!

Uh-oh, Aleon is in trouble. The blob of corpses is trying to add one more dead body to the mix!
Corpse harassment, Aleon:1d20 + 24 ⇒ (3) + 24 = 272d8 + 13 ⇒ (6, 6) + 13 = 25 [ooc]Plus DC 30 Fort save or become drained 1
Um, can he still target me even though I'm still invisible, I haven't broke invisibility yet. I understand the will save since I see them, but I'm asking about the corpse harassment. 27 misses anyhow, but just asking will save:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18Frightened 1 Actually with frightened 1, that would hit, but just doublechecking.

Oh! Look at all the targets!
Bit far, though. Natalu moves forward while fidgeting to bring all of his weapons to bear. Still too far for the rotolaser, he fires a (silent) blast from his stellar cannon instead.
[free] All Hands on Deck. Natalu can use four hands as active this round, and chooses which pair to keep active at the start of his next turn

◆ Area Fire vs Red. Primary Target:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28 for piercing damage:2d10 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4. If the attack hits and the save is a success, the save becomes a failure.
Then it must make a DC 30 basic Reflex save vs piercing damage:2d10 + 2 ⇒ (8, 9) + 2 = 19
If hit by the attack or it succeeds or worse on the Reflex save, it is suppressed and Off-Guard. If critically hit or critically fails Reflex, it must make a DC 29 Fort save or be Slowed 1 and a DC 27 Will save or be silenced.
Okay, now that that is resolved that he couldn't target me..
Aleon is still invisible and will move onto the other side of red. He has mobile aim, so he moves and aims with one action.
Action 2, attack with starknife, this breaks invisibility hit:1d20 + 22 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 22 - 1 = 38 frightened 1 includeddmg:2d4 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 7 = 14 piercing dmg:1d6 ⇒ 4 electric

precision dmg:2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8
And now I'm now longer frightened.
I need everyone except Aleon make a DC 27 Will save vs frightful presence - forgot to mention that

Success The creature is frightened 1.
Failure The creature is frightened 2.

You know what they say about killing undead... you have to shoot them in the head!
How are you going to shoot this blob in the head, Quell? They're head everywhere...
Exactly
Ah, that's what Nataly is trying to do!

The bombardment work, but that first shot was a little off-target

The-One-That-Is-Many, being of both a plethora of minds, and a single one, completely shrugs off the frightening aura.... and then gets buffeted by debris.
Thereafter, they deliver another psychic slap to Red.
Wave of Warning: 7d8 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 8, 5, 7, 1) = 32 Mental damage, and Frightened 1. DC 29 Will for half, and negates the Frightened.
"WHAT?" says Natalu, "OH GOOD, THE ANNOUNCERS STOPPED BABBLING."
These things... hit hard. Fortunately, so does he. He might have to activate his force field at this rate, though...
These things aren't coming closer, eagerly walking into a hail of laser fire. "DARN RIGHT RUDE!" Nat moves a little closer, but has to keep using his cannon at this range. "YOU COULD AT LEAST GET A LITTLE CLOSER TOGETHER!" Although if they could weaponize sound, the silencer upgrade on his stellar cannon may make it the superior choice anyway.

If hit by the attack but it succeeds at its save, it becomes a failure. If hit by the attack or it succeeds or worse at the save, it's suppressed and Off-Guard.

Now that Blue and Red have moved into a nice line, The-One-Who-Is-Many reaches into the myriad possibilities inherent to the Dimension of Time, and conjures forth a ludicrous 60' long guillotine, which slams down onto both piles of reanimated contestants.
Time's Edge(5th): 10d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 6, 6, 5, 4, 5, 4, 3, 3) = 46 Slashing damage, and Sickened 1. Dc 29 Reflex for half, and negates the Sickened.
Checking to see if red is dead yet before I go. Red will have well over 270 damage, and I'm assuming he saves his reflex save for half, but almost 300 if he doesn't save. I was hit twice for 21-1=20 dmg and 27-1=26 dmg. 94-46=48 HP left.
