TACTICAL MAP GM’s Tracker Party Conditions: Inspiring Boost: , Get'em: Red Gravity:LOW Atmosphere: Normal Lighting: Normal within 30' of the yacht, dim beyond. Battlefield terrain: In the field, the ash is a foot deep and is difficult terrain. The broken remains of a combine harvester sit in the field, half buried under ash. The harvester’s header, reel, and threshing drum (its “arms” on the map) are five feet high, while the harvester’s body is 15 feet high. Due to the obscuring ash, the DC of Athletics checks to climb the harvester and Acrobatics checks to balance on the harvester is DC 15. At the west end of the field is a five-foot deep furrow, much like a trench, that could provide cover.

Seeing his most powerful weapon be less than fully effective (and his player having better reading comprehension the second time...), Yuqab draws another pistol into his other hand as he tumbles again and comes up firing once more.
Weapons fire lights up the already blasted farmstead. Both side press.
Gunnz drops the first of the enemy trio. As Yuqab switches weapons to great effect. Ishkitok is the only one in the volley to miss.

Azara's attack misses, and only one of the robots manages to correct the damage via nanites. They wordlessly attack, an indefatigable enemy, with only one goal.
Lady Shrike finds the robot quite skilled at hand-to-hand combat:
ATK:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35 for DMG:4d6 + 16 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 3) + 16 = 29
Ishkitok also gets a fist in the "face":
ATK:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26 for DMG:2d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 3) + 8 = 17

"Check it out, I learned this one for the final scene of Supersteward!" Yuqab says, as if he were merely sparring with friends. He effortlessly does a cartwheeling side flip, firing his laser at the blue-hued robot while his feet are vertical above him.

Azara continues to bounce around the battlefield like an Akitonian pachinko ball, slamming into red, this time since Blue is being overwhelmed and Lady Shrike could use some back up.
Sorry, Paizo didn't give me an indication there were posts!
Fighting on two fronts, the party quickly overwhelms the robot to the south. It collapses, unable to repairs itself after the fiery attack.
To the north REF:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 everyone combines to damage, but not destroy the remaining assassin. Not programmed to feel fear or a sense of defeat, it attacks Azara with its fists:

Though the song of the spheres sings through his body at the highest tempo and with the finest melody, Azara cannot release that energy. His allies are far too close and would be caught in the blast.
Not that he minds, too much. It is rare that he reaches this level without immediately coming down.
So, with the thrum of the universe humming through his entire body, he simply strikes...twice
The search doesn't take long, as there are only so many places to look. Sadly, he's not here. Fortunately, he's not here.
With a determined sigh, Ongie urges the party to push on to Braerton.
As you enter Braerton, you pass through a business sector with surprisingly large buildings for a town so small, though each is damaged, with smoke pouring from the broken windows and debris littering the streets. Ongie explains, "...this sector was off limits to all but the Mongers and their cronies. It contained their offices and other infrastructure."
It’s clear that the Order of Dawning Fate has already destroyed anything useful in these buildings.
You suddenly come under fire from a defensive position behind a nearby building. You quickly take cover to decide on a plan. Before you can get to work, you're interrupted by a trio.
“You made it!”Tara exclaims, as she gestures down a nearby alley. Her team, Faelin and Markosi unleash a barrage of gunfire at the Order troops across the street, providing covering fire. “Keep it moving, Blue Team,” Tara urges. “That alley’s been cleared, and it’ll get you where you’re going. We’ll clean up these mooks!”

Ohmarc moves along, darting for cover whenever possible. He is also protectively looking over the team, making sure that nobody gets hurt along the way.
Tara is clearly pleased to see agents who can stick to the mission. The party slinks off, trusting Red Team to do their job, just as they're trusting you.
A message from Ehu crackles over the comms, “A founder has been identified! I repeat: a founder has taken the field. Red Team, Green Team, and Orange Team, prepare to engage! Target is identified as Sozirenn! Undead dragonkin solarian. Electricity based powers. Highly dangerous. Blue Team, get out of there! Proceed with the mission.”

With his sidereal manifestation in place, stealth is actually something Azara is surprisingly good at and he keeps low and quiet as they weave their way through the urban combat zone.
"A corruption of the way
Undead Solarion
Must be shown the proper path."
He says, clearly offended by the description of their opponent.
He powers through the toppling debris, depending on brute strength to get him through.

Gunnz pauses for a moment, trying to recall the colour of the day, but the latest SMC single "Everyday is a Rainbow" keeps going through her mind.. "We're blue, right?" she checks.
Then the building next to her explodes.
acrobatics:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24Just as well skill checks don't auto fail on a 1
The song seems to distract her, but her dancers body reacts to all the moving objects around her almost of its own violition.

Lady Shrike attempts to evade the falling rubble, but she overestimates her room to move and her armor collides with a wall, likely showing her reactions below a critical threshold...
Half the party is buried in the explosion! The weight begins to crush the life out of those who are trapped. [ooc]You have to try and claw your way out. Same skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, or Survival. Those who are free can spend their round making a check for another PC....

Lady Shrike grunts and groans against the weight of the rubble. She does her best to squeeze free of the crushing rocks. Or, should she already be free, she'll attempt to help another ally instead!
Quick to move, and working as a team, everyone gets out quickly before the rubble collapses into a more stable pile.
Pception DC 24:
A towering dragonkin with sickly, decayed wings hurls an arcing bolt of electricity into Red Team. Tara, Faelin, and Markosi are knocked back, the dwarf colliding hard with the half-collapsed wall. Sozirenn stretches their crackling, electricity-shrouded claws and strides towards the team, scooping up Markosi by the throat. With a terrifying bellow, they breathe a stream of electricity straight into Markosi’s body until it smolders. Without a moment’s hesitation, they toss Markosi’s corpse into another team of Starfinders.
A confusing update breaks in over comms, including screams of pain, Orange Team shouting “Green Team is injured!” and Tara furiously yelling, “Markosi is down! I repeat, Markosi is down!”
Another explosion, beams of laser fire, and collapsing buildings prevent you from turning back to offer assistancel there is only the mission. Ongie presses you forward, remarking that Founder’s Square is "...just up ahead." As you approach Founder’s Square, Tara provides a further update over the comms: “Green Team in need of medical attention, Orange Team is down, founder heading north. I repeat, Orange Team is down, and Green Team needs medical assistance. Red Team in pursuit of founder.” In response, Ehu diverts medics to assist Green Team and asks Red Team to perform a civilian sweep in the surrounding area, instead ordering other units to prepare an ambush for Sozirenn further north.
Founder’s Square is a small public park centered on a monument that displays a lacquered statue of Berrla Tonhue, original founder of Braerton. The streets surrounding Founder’s Square host several important buildings, including the church, general store, hospital, and town hall. Signs of devastation are obvious, with many buildings damaged or partially collapsed.
Blood, laser burns, and bullet holes mar most surfaces, rubble is mounded in the streets, and there are gaping holes in the earth and concrete. Dozens of bodies are strewn throughout the area, lying as they fell on the sidewalks and streets. In the center of the park, a clump of panicked civilians cowers in fear, hands over their heads and hiding as best as they can in the shadow of the broken monument.
DC 20 Perception:
You quickly determine that most of the corpses are of civilians, but that at least a dozen of the most recent are fallen Starfinders.
