Delea checks over everyone to make sure no one has injuries bad enough that a rest won't take care of them. checking no one is into HP rather than just SP
Anyone who wants to heal or perform other actions in these 10 minutes, note it on your sheet.
The interior of Gadrathar Fortress is primarily made of stone, with mortar made from fossilized copi acting like veins that reach out through the entire structure. Unless otherwise noted, all rooms and doors are circular in shape, dimly lit, and have a ceiling height of 20 feet. The fortress has been broken up into several “lobes” that are in a state of constant rotation, grinding past each other in erratic directions. This means that non-flying characters must always be moving to avoid being tossed about as if they were in some kind of aerial rock tumbler.
A stone balcony surrounds a pit recessed into the ground. The pit is rust colored, and a seemingly metallic liquid pours like a waterfall from some underground spring into its center. Despite the motion of the fortress, this water remains within its pool. Four copi structures, each reaching 20 feet into the air, have limbs outstretched as if trying to escape the sludge. On the opposite balcony from the Starfinders’ arrival are a large group of robots, their faces covered by solid plate masks with ornate artistry along the edges— halfway between an homage and a mockery of the copaxi. All of them are using some form of flight. Their apparent leader floats forward, amplifying their voice to be clearly heard throughout the room. “The Gadrath have not suffered outsiders here for centuries. State your purpose so we may decide if you’re worthy to remain in this place, or whether you should be cast out.”
Each of you must attempt a Bluff, Culture, Diplomacy, Engineering, Mysticism, or relevant Profession check to convince them. Other solutions may work if you can justify them, and good roleplay will result in bonuses to your check.

"We Surren erm..." looks at Obozaya "We come in peace! We're starfinders.. archeologists" The ysoki HORMPHS her snapwhip into her cheekpouch, which is as close as she can get to being unarmed and holds her hands up, palms out.
"Probably not a surprise to you, but the organics below have dun **chittered** up the planet. We can't bring in atmospheric scrubbers big enough to fix the problem by ship, and since they're still running on a pollution and exploitation based economy, trying to manufacture enough of them locally would just be digging the hole deeper. Ironic that a lot of atmospheric scrubber parts are REALLY environmentally unfriendly.
We were hoping we might be able to find a magical solution here. But if you're going to cast us out...do you have a trebuchet or a launcher that goes REALLY fast? Getting up here was FUN!"
engineering:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17 I'm sure there's some technobable explanation why they planet is hosed that one seems as good as any.

Obozay looks over at Cueball and then back to The Gadrath
"What the little one said we are Starfinders, we come in peace, my job is to keep even one safe that can include you too."
Diplomacy:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Obozaya looks over at Cueball looks over at Cueball for approval.

"We wish to understand the magic here, hoping that it can help those below. A few of them are starting to interact with machine intelligence respectfully, and we hope this will help that process."

Navasi gives Obozaya a surprised smile.
"Greeting my name is Navasi, my friends speak the truth we come in peace. We understand this planet's inhabitants have a difficult history. We are members of the Starfinder Society, an organization that equally values organic sentients and robotic sentient organisms, which is why we were chosen to come here seeking your help to save this planet. We appreciate you taking the time to talk to us."
One of the copaxi steps forward. "I am Kyrsine. We accept that you are not here to cause us harm. Now you must complete the Threefold Trials to show your worthiness to enter Gadrathatr's Core."
What are the Threefold Trials?:
"We shall observe you in a Trial of Combat, a Trial of Knowledge, and a Trial of Balance."
What is the first trial?:
"Parasitic oozes grow among the copi of Gadrathar Fortress. We challenge the Starfinders to destroy a group of these oozes."
What is the second trial?:
"You will be tasked with demonstrating your understanding of the history at work here in Gadrathar Fortress and how the copi and copaxi play into it."
What is the third trial?:
"You will be asked to prove your ability to manipulate the forces of balance that govern Gadrathar Fortress itself."
What if we refuse?:
"You may return safely to your home, but you will advance no farther here."

"Look, if you need the area cleared out or the plumbing fixed as a favor you can just ask. It doesn't need to be the TRIAL OF DUSTING or the TRIAL OF THE LEAKY PIPE or the TRIAL OF THE GALTAN MAI... " she hmmms and looks at obozaya "Ok maybe it does. Which way to the parasites?"
The Starfinders are brought to a room with terrain shaped like a planet's exterior, but mostly composed of metal in various states of decay. The gravity here is as unpredictable as outside the fortress. Four oozes emerge from the rusted areas to the south, hovering above the ground on slimy wings. They seem to be suffering from their earlier threshing (and four-player adjustment).

You are subjected to >somatogravic illusions< in this area. The bonus or penalties applies to all checks made until the start of the next round. The metallic sludge (the liquid areas in the center of the map) are difficult terrain.

Math time:

Thruster heels +30 enhancement

= 65 foot movement
I can fly 65 feet and then CHARGE (65*2=130)
= 195 feet to move then charge!
95 feet to the baddies 10 feet up= 20 feet of movemenbt= 105 feet
Cueball activates her thruster heels and flies off after the oozes
"Hey Obo call me when you get to the fight.. if there's one left!"
She whips it. Whips it good.
attack:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22 vs EAC
damage:1d6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 4 = 11 Acid and bludgeoning with the force descriptor. We will see if either or neither work. FOR SCIENCE
Not really an issue here out in the open, but Cueball does have scurry if at some point Obo wants to step onto cueball/her square
+1 Entropy point for combat, +1 entropy point for speeding.
These are lattice oozes, oozes with no subtypes. They can immobilize a creature with a critical hit, can cause Constitution damage and have no resistances, weaknesses or immunities other than those common to oozes.

Delea moves forward and then casts Force Blast.
I know she can catch green in the cone, which can start 30 feet away from her. If she can turn it in any direction, she can also catch purple without catching any allies.

Cueball thinks her ooze is almost dead. The static electricity built up
around her body from all that running around ticking discharges into the ooze. The flying upper cut she does with it is entirely for show....
Standard action Electric discharge "Souris YUKEN! "
