Bubba thoughtfully examines his harmonica.

"Ain't never done a blues song about a rat that ain't dead, hmmm."

”Yep, aged for 30 days. We also spray it on the Chels whenever they show up, and they always run screaming.”

A large orc, Bubba, pauses his harmonica practice and looks over to Bina with a slight hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes.

"But goats are quite tasty? My ma even has a special hot sauce for them."

I would be OK with this plan. It is a really wacky encounter.

Bubba is finally able to move (albeit at a speed of 10 ft) and pulls himself through the mud, vines, and wind so that he escapes at least the wind and vines. He is too exhausted to continue his song.

3 actions moving at 10 ft per action through difficult terrain will move Bubba 3 squares, just of the mess.

Bubba yodels loudly in order to be heard above the sound of the whirlwind. action 1 – inspire courage

He then concentrates really hard on hitting the crab in front of him and casts true strike. action 2 – roll two attacks and take best

Is Bubba still -5 ft. speed from previous encounter? I'm not sure how much time has passed.

Reflex v entanglement: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Athletics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Bubba pulls free of the vegetation but is unable to move in the whirlwind.

He makes a slight change to his tune,... action 1 - continue inspire courage.

"Centaurs are a horse's ass, Doodah! doodah! Centaurs are a ...."

... concentrates for a moment, ... action 2 - cast guidance on self

...and attempts to take out his frustration on the adjacent crab (blue). action 3 - strike

Still sore from their last encounter, Bubba clambers over Teja so he can jump out of the wagon (and into the entanglement) next to Heyou!. 1st action

Landing awkwardly (and painfully) next to the goblin, in his now familiar dulcet tones, the bard begin to serenade friend and foe alike. 2nd action start inspire courage.

"It's crab cakes for dinner boys! Crab cakes for dinner..."

Feeling inspired himself, he takes a swing at the blue crab. 3rd action

falchion damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Does the entangle affect Teja and I on the wagon, and could I clamber over Teja and jump down off the wagon next to Heyou!

Is Bubba's ankle still messed up?

As the wagon picks up speed, Bubba holds on tightly and intently watches the road ahead for additional threats.

The still somewhat concussed Bubba finds Heyou!’s pledge to be oddly reassuring.

As the bodies are loaded in about him, Bubba crawls to the front of the wagon and sits next to Teja.

"I'll be riding up here until my ankle firms up."

After two solid hits to his brain pan and with his ankle still throbbing, Bubba woozily acknowledges the healing from Kazikili.

In a slightly slurred voice, he says ...

"I'm going to keep a close eye on our cargo for a few minutes."

He then clumsily clambers into the back of the wagon and collapses face down on the shipment for 15 or so minutes, at least until the world stops spinning.

After taking a rock to the noggin, Bubba's song takes on a rather grim tone ...

"They've got tiny bodies spewing blood from multiple wounds ..." action 1 continue inspire courage

He then crashes through the underbrush on his bum ankle and take a swing at blue. actions 2 & 3

HP total adjusted.

Undaunted by the injury from the now dead wolf, Bubba continues his song.

"They got little ..." Action 1, continue Inspire Courage

He then valiantly hobbles forward towards the deceased wolf's master.

Action 2 & 3, two moves to get up adjacent to black

Bubba curses his clumsiness but continues abusing the halflings with song.

"Ain't got no reason..." action 1

He then steps so as to flank the wolf and lays into it with his falchion. actions 2 & 3

to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Noyce.

Truth be told, I agree with you. But whatever, Emdi was created in my mind before the CRB came out and he's gonna be an archer from Nidal, dammit, even if he kind of sucks at the one thing his class was designed for.

Maybe consider a ranger dedication archetype, which might help some?

And play what you want. Every character doesn’t have to be optimized.

Hear! Hear! Bubba is trying to be a skald-like melee bard, which is probably suboptimum in PF2e.

Seeing the halflings, Bubba breaks into a blues version of ..

"Short people ..." action 1 - inspire courage

He then draws his falchion and carefully moves forward through the trapped area.actions 2 and 3

I don't think they need actual disarming just filling them in with dirt, rock, tree branches, etc. so we can then slowly drive the wagon over them. Is this what we're looking at?

"Oh, they want us to stop alright, so they can attack us."

Bubba looks about for enemies in the woods on either side of the road.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Bubba pokes through the charred and frozen squirrel corpses to see if any are intact enough to save for a big batch of Brunswick Stew at trail's end.

He is a little embarrassed by his minor injury 1 hp of splash damage and waits until the more serious wounds have been treated before asking.

"Did anyone bring any burn ointment?"

While Bubba continues his ode to his Mama's Brunswick Stew first action to continue inspire courage, he realizes that these are very tough squirrels.

So, he goes ahead and casts magic weapon second and third actions to make his falchion a +1 striking weapon.

Should I have taken damage from the black squirrel swarm?

Bubba looks about.

"This ain't good!"

He then moves 5 feet to the southwest to get out from amidst the squirrels ... Action 1

...and begins to sing!

"We'll be eating Brunswick Stew! We'll be eating Brunswick Stew! Oh yeah, Brunswick Stew!"

Action 2 to begin Inspire Courage, +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear effects

Finally, he draws his falchion. Action 3

Seeing Kazikli's distress at the loss of the reed mat with the image of Gozreh, Bubba faces away from him and looks relieved at the theft of this particular item.

Bubba nods as Heyou! speaks.

Yeah, what'd Gozreh's little feathered buddies fly away with? Maybe they got what they wanted and will leave us in peace.

He smiles humorlessly.

That's a joke, that is!

Bubba shrugs.

"I'd rather sing to a god than fight him."

He shields his eyes from the pelting rain and looks about.

"Nap in the mud? No thanks! Forward to hard liquor and soft beds!"

So Bubba's actions don't seem to have any effect?

Bubba decides a whole new strategy is in order and begins to improvise on his inspire courage tune.

"I fought the wind, and wind won"

This is a little desperate and will probably not work at all. I'd like to try a Performance check to see if Bubba can turn his tune around so that it impresses Gozreh's and his winged associates, and they leave us alone (after perhaps taking what it was inappropriately "looted" by the original group of Pathfinders who put together this stash).

I'd like to use my first action to continue the inspire courage and my next two actions on the Performance.

Performance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Suddenly Bubba's eyes lit up.

"Maybe Gozreh's pissed at us, now that we're hauling this crap around."

Everyone remembers they have +1/+1 from Bubba's inspire courage, right?

"As my mama used to say after my daddy got home late, 'Something ain't right here!'"

I'll try true strike for my next attack unless folks think that counter performance might help, but this doesn't seem like an auditory effect being used against us.

Bubba starts a bluesy serenade.

"Ospreys got a lot of blood, lot of blood, lot of blood!
Pop goes the osprey!"

One action - Inspire Courage (+1 to hit and damage)

Second and third action - fire Telekinetic Projective at bird that's 10 feet west of Bubba (I'm colorblind so I have trouble with color designations of enemies)

Telekinetic Projectile to hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Bubba is getting ready to use Telekinetic Projectile.

I am unclear how Glimpse of Redemption works with large enemies. Do I get Glimpse if any square is within 15', or does the whole enemy need to be within 15'?

Emdi, I believe you'll get +1 to hit and +1 damage because of Bubba's inspire courage.

I seem to be twice in the initiative order.

Bubba is quickly in fine voice.

"Oh my mama, she squashed some frogs, squashed some frogs..."

First action - inspire courage.

Second action - recall knowledge with bardic lore.

Bardic Lore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Frogs are huge creatures with giant tusks vulnerable to acid!"

Third action - draw falchion

As a blues musician, Bubba has some knowledge of the workings of the criminal mind. After leaving the tavern and moving over to the wagon, he scans the area looking for anyone paying undue attention to the party and its wagon.

"Bandits might have 'friends' in town who tip them off about valuable cargo."

Bubba makes a quick stop at the bar to order and down a double shot of Wild Quasit Bourbon to settle his stomach. He then joins Khoumrock, Kazikli and others of the party at Khoumrock's table.

He nods in agreement at Emdi's question, but he is primarily focused on the rest of the tavern, seeing if anyone is taking interest in Khoumrock or the party's arrival.

Bubba is not a big fan of the ocean, and a little of the green drains from his face during the voyage.

Bubba has finished his coffee and bananas and is now a healthy-looking pale green.

There are times to sing of past adventures and there are times to adventure so new songs can be written. I think we are now to the later time. Let us be off to Otari with this fine wagon the Society has provided for us.

Bubba nods at Kazikli's words.

Gozreh can be a cranky one. Lots of blues songs about storms and sinking ships.
