Oskar is shocked to see the cast starting the performance without him. "You are supposed to wait until I say 'Action!' - what is the world coming to?!?" He hurriedly trundles forward, or as hurriedly as his stubby halfling legs will allow.

Jaehaera takes a second to think of how she wants to attack.
Devise a Strategem against Yellow:1d20 ⇒ 1
It doesn't look like the Zombie has a good opening. Jaehaera has Known Weakness, so I get a free Recall Knowledge. If its arcana or society, I have a +10, +9 if its crafting. If its religion, +8. If its a crit success, I give a +1 circumstance bonus to my allies to attack Yellow until the start of my next turn
She instead tries to wrap her spiked chain under the zombie's feet and get it off its feet.

As he studies the technic zombies, Aeinquel realizes that creatures are resistant to energetic sparks, but would be horribly injured by having their tendons and sinews slashed.

"Slashing weapons, and don't use electricity."That's one cantrip I shouldn't use.... Muttering words of arcane power, Aeinquel points at the yellow zombie and snaps his fingers, sending a gout of flame at it. Casting ignition◆◆.

"Goblins bite and goblins bash

The goblin pulls out his shortsword and looks very stabby at the yellow Zomber!
Aeinquel nearly immolates the technic zombie.
Critical hit!
Pennypockets slashes the final remnants to pieces.
At the insistence of the gnome, one of the technic zombies tries to push Hancock away from the gnome.

Beating upon the barbarian, the technic zombie (red) pounds and shocks Hancock, forcing the Pathfinder back before interposing itself between Hancock and the gnome.

For the future, if an ally within 30' of Oskar makes a Recall Knowledge check Oskar will spend 1 focus point as a free action to use Loremaster's Etude which lets them roll twice and take the better result.
Courageous Anthem continues - this is the start of round 2 of 3
Oskar advances forward while continuing to narrate the action through operatic bellows melodies and the occasional shouted stage direction: "Hey Yellow, can you die a little more dramatically please!?!"
◆ Stride
The only enemy that Oskar can - barely - see is Blue. He magically sends a barrage of needles hurtling towards the zombie.
The needles pierce their target. The target considers moving forward, but then realizes that it already has an interloper within reach. It swings its fists at Hancock.
It connects with a strike, but fails to move the barbarian prompting it to strike again.
Melee Strike, fist (reach 10 feet) v Hancock:1d20 + 12 - 10 ⇒ (3) + 12 - 10 = 5 Damage bludgeoning plus 1d6 electricity plus Improved Push 5 feet:1d10 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 4 + (3) = 17 Athletics to Push/Shove:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
With Hancock still too close for his comfort, the gnome casts a spell on the barbarian.
Cast laughing fit
Hancock is overtaken with uncontrollable laughter.
Hancock must attempt a DC 25 Will save. With a Critical Success he is unaffected. With a Success, Hancock can't use reactions.
If Hancock fails the Will save:
Hancock is slowed 1 and can't use reactions. If the result is a Critical Failure, Hancock falls prone and can't use actions or reactions for 1 round. He then takes the effects of a failure.
The gnome, then rushes further away behind some stacked crates.
Stride; crates provide cover.

Jaehaera tries to find a weak point in the blue zombie's defenses.

Seeing an okay opening, and being assured by Oskar's song, she steps forward and swings her chain into the blue zombie.
Choking back a chuckle, Hancock hits a technic zombie (blue).

The tech zombie drops and the barbarian beats it into pulp. He then rushes the caster, who is clearly unhappy to see him.

Courageous Anthem continues - this is the start of round 3 of 3 (it will end just before Oskar's next turn).
Oskar runs to catch up, worried that show will be over before he's barely hit the stage. "Consarn these stubby little legs!" he puffs, rather out of breath.
◆ Stride 25'
Panting like the out of shape hobbit he is, Oskar says, "What's needed here is to pick up the tempo - a bit of Vivace or even Prestissimo I think..." He stops running for a moment and changes his tune to one more rapid, accompanied by some frenzied 'hurry up' gestures to his comrades. "Don't let 'im get away!"
◆◆ Cast Loose Time's Arrow Everyone in the party is now Quickened for 1 round. The extra action can only be used to Step or Stride. (Oskar will get his extra action on his next turn, and then the spell will end).
(p.s. yes, this would have been the perfect spell for the start of this fight but alas Oskar was all the way at the bottom of the initiative - by the time he could have cast it everyone was already long gone...)
GM, can Oskar see the Gnome from his current position? If so, he'll use the Lose the Path spell as a reaction if the gnome Strides. It's a 60' range spell (Will DC 22) so the only issue is whether Oskar can see the gnome from his current position or not. If I was GM-ing I would probably say he can't so I will completely understand if that's your ruling! I just added the spell and haven't had a chance to use it yet and this is perfect for it so hopefully we can catch him before he escapes...

I placed a white dotted line on the map, which I believe confirms that Oskar has line of sight. When in doubt, I will defer to "rule of cool". The spell can be cast.
The gnome, adept at seeing through illusions, shakes off the spell.
Eager to not get caught by the barbarian, the gnome casts dizzying colors. Will save DC 25 from Hancock
He then makes a break for the stack of crates that separate him from a door to the outside. Looking upward, he fears the climb ahead of him, but sees no other way out.

Dr. Jaehaera, feeling a burst of energy, strides up to the red Zombie and looks for an opening.

She sees it favoring one side, leaving it open on the other, so she swings her spiked chain counter-clockwise at angle of .8 radians from its spine.
Seeing his worst nightmare as the colors swirl around him, the gnome braces for impact.

It appears that everyone but Jaehaera missed that I quickened the whole party for one round on my last turn. Oh well - I guess that's the classic dilemma of bards.

Oskar uses his newfound speediness to advance closer to the pesky gnome.

Then Oskar shifts the tune of his opera to something with a more goblinish flavor.

Expecting to get a bit further away from the barbarian, the gnome figures if he is struck, then perhaps he will beg for mercy. He never gets the opportunity as he is struck down swiftly. He is now quite dead.
COMBAT OVER
Searching the body of the gnome confirms that he is Zatqualmish as his name is sewn into his undergarments.
A search of the desk reveals that the original, missing documents, as well as forgeries, had been hastily shoved into the desk's sturdy drawer. The documents include a ledger of activities the Hajoth Hakados Lodge has undertaken in or near Numeria over the last two decades, with careful notes showing that the Pathfinders didn’t steal or damage any of the technological equipment they studied. Fortunately, the documents are in good condition.
With Zatqualmish eliminated and the documents recovered, the Pathfinders now simply need to make it back to the lodge in time.
When the party arrives, Vanis s relieved to see you. "Please report on what happened," requests Vanis.
After a report is provided:
Vanis listens with appreciation, thanks you each for your efforts, and gives you each a reward for your work: several gold pieces each and a polytool.
Seeing that you have recovered the documents undamaged, Vanis thanks you profusely, "The Society is most appreciative. The documents are intact. Thanks to you, disaster has been averted. You have each proven quite worthy of the trust placed in you. Your services to this lodge may well be needed again. To that end, I am extending to you each and offer to provide additional training in handling those threats that are unique here to Numeria." Each PC earns the Numerian Archaeologist boon.
Reporting Notes The PCs killed Zatqualmish, so I will check box A.
Primary Objective The PCs fulfilled the primary objective by recovering the original documents and returning them to the Pathfinder lodge. Doing so earns each PC 1 Fame and 1 Reputation for any faction associated with their currently slotted faction boon.
I will post a link later today in the Discussion thread to the chronicle sheets. Thanks all for a gun table!
