Locket nods several times in reply to Zephyr and Harlan, adding, "Nice work, everyone. Now we've just got to hold fast until Historia and Radaszam get here."
He moves closer into support of Zephyr, where he has a clearer view along the corridor and prepares for the incoming attack.
Readied action: attack with plasma blast as soon as a jinsul is within range (30ft)

Dispatching the nearby jinsul foes with Harlan's aid, Locket turns, looking around to locate other enemies.
Spying Zephyr locked toe-to-toe with a pair of enemies at the far end of the platform, Locket dashes forward and, waiting for Harlan to employ his magics, slips across in front of the half-orc for a clearer shot past Zephyr.

Nice pick up! Sorry, I had a brain fart - I had meant Cleave, not Lunge. I'm not sure if the penalties from Lunge and Cleave would stack, I'll need to check the rules further. (Although, it makes sense to me that they would)
Locket grunts as the jinsul's leg blade finds its mark. Steadying himself, the pahtra counter-attacks with a rapid double kick at the jinsul standing across from him (yellow).

Altitude is correct.
Drawing air deep into his lungs, Locket reaches toward the floor, thumb and first two fingers extended as he rotates his wrist. A ripple shimmers across the floor's surface - and around any lifeforms it passes - as the pahtra steps off the wall and back on to the floor. Move action to deactivate his boots.
Back on even footing with the jinsul, Locket propels a front kick straight toward the nearest foe (yellow) and readies to immediately snap a side kick at its nearby companion, should an opening present itself. Lunge

GM Thom: in going over the posts for this encounter, it appears Locket has taken damage from 2 blasts from flags (fire) and 2 laser shots from jinsul minions (cold) that would be mitigated by his thermal capacitor for 20 less damage overall. Thanks!

Seeing Zephyr's laser fire drop the jinsul leader, Locket pivots to retrace his path back the southern platform.
Wrapping, pulling and weaving the chains of energy before him, Locket whips a fiery bolt at a nearby jinsul reindmforcement as he reaches the end of the wall and prepares to disengage his altered field of gravity.

Locket also has a thermal capacitor (-5 to cold and fire) - I just realised that some of the damage he's taken hasn't all been electrical as my brain had interpreted and he may have taken some cold damage along the way. I'll go through and check more closely later (hopefully it won't come into play in the interim)
Reflex DC13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Charging toward the jinsul boss as he is, Locket does his best to avoid the discharged electrical energy.
The pahtra keeps his feet in the wake of the blast and dashes across the wall at his opponent, kusari-fundo swirling.
Energy trailing from his weapon's orbit, he tapers toward his foe, attacking head-to-carapace, albeit on a perpendicular orientation to the jinsul.

Ha! I think so, too. Oh, I forgot that plasma blast has stun as a critical effect DC15, I think - 10+dex+1/2 weapon item level (which unarmed seems to not have a level?)
Reflex DC?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 In the event it is still needed
Trying to dodge the incoming attacks, Locket nods his appreciation of Nym's words of encouragement. "I'm on it," he assures his companion. Thanks!
Locket extends his left arm again, thumb and first two fingers extended as he rotates his hand, tracing an arc in the air. This time, the wall leading toward the jinsul leader ripples as he skips into the air, flipping his body backward to orient toward the new gravity.
Landing lightly on the wall, he continues his march forward, closing on the main jinsul's position.

The thinking behind Locket keeping some distance away from flags was concern about the reinforcements catching us unawares. Especially, given it would take multiple turns for him to just close to melee range.
"We've got company on the way!" Locket calls in warning.
Having gained some altitude, he dashes along the wall to a point directly across from the jinsul.
Gathering the energy before him, he sends another lash cracking across the room.

Locket moves vertically up the walls to improve his line of sight on the jinsul. (or as much as a max of 30 ft will allow)
Flinging his arm first back and then out, he whips an arc of energy crackling across the room toward the jinsul.

No problem, GM Thom. Happy Anniversary! I hope you enjoyed the show.
Drawing his hands together before him - thumbs, index and middle fingers of each hand touching to form a triangle - Locket breathes deeply as he pulls his hands toward his chest. Exhaling, he slowly pushes the triangle back away from his body. Extending his left hand out to the side, the pahtra rotates his wrist, moving his fingers in an arc.
The wall at his back ripples along its length, like water disturbed by a stone. Locket turns and steps toward the wall, his front foot finding purchase knee-height above floor level. Continuing his stride, the pahtra lifts his back foot from the floor, his body rotating out and down toward the floor as his centre of gravity reorients to the wall's vertical plane.
Gathering energy into a ball between his hands, he snaps his arm back and flicks a trail of energy in the huddled jinsul's direction.
Move action - activate Falcon Boots. The "stride" is just flavour for his reorienting gravity to the wall. He is essentially in the same 5ft cube, just standing on an adjacent face.

Thanks, I think I'll repost the move!
With the last of the jinsul mob falls to Faelyn's blast, Locket moves toward the other end of the platform to help support Harlan and Zephyr.
Although his angle on the flag-draped jinsul is hampered by distance and the lower vantage point, Locket draws his arm back and whips forth a line of energy in the foe's direction.
Plasma blast (vs KAC): 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 13 - 4 = 14 I think just into 3rd range increment. Exactly 60ft horizontally, but the elevation takes it over

Save DC20: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 If relevant, Locket has damage resistance 5 to cold/fire. I forgot about it on previous blast
Caught on the tail-end of his all-out attack, this time Locket is unable to avoid the incoming explosion.
Twisting his torso to a side, Locket draws his arm across his body, bringing the weighted end of the kusari-fundo curving with the motion. Extending his arm out before him, he redirects the weapon's path and, with a step toward the lone jinsul in his proximity, he sends it arcing toward his foe in a rapid combination counter-attack.

Locket's kusari-fundo zings out to meet the incoming jinsul as it lands on the platform beside him.

Cold damage: 3d4 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3, 3) + 13 + 2 = 24
With the arrival of jinsul reinforcements, Locket and Faelyn find themselves outnumbered two-to-one. "Be ready to duck!" he calls to his companion.
Move action: Adaptive Fighting (Great Cleave) Round 1/10
Adjusting the orbit of his twirling weapon, Locket attempts to take advantage of the jinsul's poor landing, sending it arcing out again toward the creature. Quickly pivoting his foot, he turns and sends the flaming orb arcing toward the cluster of foes surrounding Faelyn.

Ooooh. Goodie!
A moment earlier...
Readied to face the lead jinsul, Locket is on the alert as another foe tries to slip past him toward his friends. The pahtra redirects his kusari-fundo to catch the jinsul as it scurries by.

Reflex? save (DC20): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Locket squares off with the approaching jinsul as they move to surround him. The fur on the back of his neck tingles as it stands on end. Instinctively twisting his body away, he is able to avoid the worst of the incoming blast.
With the close quarters, he switches his attack, launching a heavy front kick at the lead jinsul (yellow) (and maybe following with snapping a side kick at the jinsul against the wall (blue)).
Any Get 'Ems will need to be added to below...

Steeling himself as the jinsuls charge toward their position, Locket resumes his weapon's flaming swirl.
"I'm on it," he replies to Faelyn's direction.
Waiting for them to close within range, he sends the fiery chain zipping toward the front-most foe, expertly redirecting it to strike again in rapid succession. (Full attack on yellow)

Thanks for adding/moving my token!
Sorry, currently working from my phone and the token's too small for my stubby fingers to move (it keeps resizing rather than moving), so I have dropped a green rectangle shape on where he's moved to. (From the post description of "Where the pcs enter the room.. " I have also assumed we are up by Zephyr. Please adjust as needed if this is not the case)
Entering the room, Locket pauses to quickly take stock of their plight. "Looks like the right place," he murmurs. "Let's get this done before their reinforcements arrive."
Setting his kusari-fundo into motion, Locket slowly strides forward, his weapon spinning a fiery orbit.
Keeping close by his companions, he stops at the edge of the catwalk, catching a weighted end of his weapon in each palm. Drawing his hands apart, he stretches out the criss-crossed lengths of fiery chain, the energy crackling as he whips a fiery bolt across the room toward the nearest jinsul (red).

Locket watches the creature's antics, ready to intervene should it prove hostile.
Smiling as the critter settles into place on Zephyr's arm, he relaxes his guard a little.
"Not exactly your run-of-the-mill pet," he says to his companions. "I don't think anything like Fido, Rex or Mittens would do it justice."
Chuckling at Harlan's suggestion, he glances at the android to gauge his reaction. "Well, yes, Lil' Sucker would definitely be different," he allows.
"Let's go," Locket says, nodding agreement with the half-orc gladiator.
He also keeps alert for signs of trouble as they travel.

Stepping aside, Locket leaves space to allow the creature to flee to safety. He keeps a wary eye on the little beast as it does so, ready should it turn on one of his companions.

"The armour's too restrictive - and gross - for my liking," Locket says. Sliding the pistol from the holster and snatxhing up the cred stick, he adds, "But these might be useful."

Locket stands doubled over, his hands resting on his knees, as he draws slow deep breaths in an attempts to settle what remains of his stomach's contents.
Looking a little pale, he wipes perspiration from his brow and manages a nod of agreement.
Belatedly, he also activates his armour's environmental protections as they set out.

Checking back over the posts, Harlan did here. Rookie mistake - I did not make reference to it as part of Locket's preparations a little further on. I also didn't see menrion for Nym or Zephyr

Locket had thought the stench from outside the room was horrid, but it paled in comparison to sensory assault once inside. The additional gases from the disturbed sludge prove more than he can handle.
Retching, he stumbles a hasty retreat to the corridor outside.

"There's something attached to the armour!" Locket exclaims. "I saw a glash of yellow. Might be a small box, maybe a key or upgrade?"
He looks dubiously at the ooze. "Now, was it the sludge that left the vesk in that state?"
If it seems clear to do so, Locket will attempt to fish the armour out of the sludge.

"Course it raises the question of what happened to the breastplate's previous owner..." Locket observes, glancing between the ooze pool, his companions and back.

Gagging, Locket turns away from the door, covering his mouth. "Stinks..." he manages to explain. "Mouldy... Decay."
"Something... dropped into... sludge pool. From funnel," he pants. "Try to see,,, what it is."
Covering his face with his elbow, he turns back toward the door and attempts to identify the solid mass in the oozy pool from the doorway.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
He turns back toward his companions, shaking his head. "Can't get a clear look."

After reading the posts again, I think I may have had it flipped around in my mind - I think it was switching between references to left/right vs double/single and where the placard was placed - but I think I have it now. Right = double doors = placard and left = single door = slosh?
Still, his intention intention was the same - check the door that Harlan and Zephyr had indicated, which I understand to be the single door with the sloshing and without the placard.

Thanks GM Tom. Sorry, the single door, please. I was following the narrative and didn't even think of moving the token.

I won't rewrite my lost post after all, given how far the action has moved on. If appropriate, though, Locket would have taken a 10 min rest while his more technologically inclined crewmates felt woth the data retrieval from the map.
"One's as good as the other," Locket says with a shrug.
He stares blankly at the placard, unable to read the label. His ears twitch as Zephyr relays his findings.
"It's wise to not leave a potential enemy behind us. And there's no need to rush in blindly. Let's try and get a peek at what's inside and make a plan."
Crossing carefully to the door, Locket attempts to quietly crack the door and look inside.

Having dispatched the nearest bot, Locket turns his attention to the far side of the room, where Zephyr and the other bot are facing off.
The pahtra sets his kusari-fundo into motion, in slow arcs initially that soon build to a whistling blur before igniting to trace a fiery orbit. Reaching into the flaming disc with his other hand, he hooks the chain, swiftly redirecting the weapon's path and bringing to an abrupt halt, a glowing weighted end grasped tightly in each fist.
Bringing his hands first together, he jerks them apart, flaming lengths of chain criss-crossing between them. He pivots to the side and, raising an arm behind him, whips it forward to send a fiery bolt of energy crackling toward the bot.

Frustrated with his carelessly timed kicks, Locket focuses on his form as he kicks twice at the bot again.

Don't forget +1 to ranged attacks on green due to Locket's Coordinated Shot!
Locket mutters a curse when the railing spoils his attempted attack. In the instant it takes to recover his technique, the pahtra leaves an opening that the bot exploits.
Grimacing in pain from the pincer's hold on his leg, he maneuvers free from the bot's grasp and attempts to kick it. Hard. Twice.

Oops. Sorry about the ninja!
Locket took 22 damage from previous encounter.
Distracted by the luminous galaxy map, Locket is caught unaware by the mechanical foe's attack. Grunting from the pain of the blast, he turns to locate the source.
Striding toward the mechanical crab, he drops the weighted end of his kusari-fundo amd sends it spinning in a whirling orbit.
Drawing within striking range of the creature, he attempts to entangle the construct's legs.

"It's a holographic map of the galaxy!" Locket murmurs, the white and purple lights reflecting in his large eyes.
"Why the precaution in accessing it?" he wonders. "What secrets does it hold?"
"Is there any more information on the system?" he asks, turning to Harlan.

Nodding, Locket leaps across to one of the other platforms and attempts to follow Harlan's directions.

Moving cautiously into the room, Locket keeps an eye (and ear) out for any danger in the room.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
"Maybe. It's worth checking out," he murmurs in reply to Zephyr.

Snorting a laugh at Harlan's quip, Locket follows Zephyr's lead toward the set of doors to the right.
He pauses, ears slowly rotating, to listen for any movement on the other side of the doors.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Locket sniffs. "Come on. Let's keep moving," he says, nodding to the corridor ahead.
Ears perked and on the alert, the pahtra carefully makes his way forward.

Kusari-fundo coiled in one hand, Locket tests the doors to their right. Finding them locked, he presses an ear to the doorand listens for any sounds beyond.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
"Anyone able to open these? Or do we push on?" he asks his companions.

Locket looks around at the crew, nodding with satisfaction. "A good start," he murmurs. "Nice work, everyone."
He checks over the jinsuls while Harlan and Zephyr inspect the cylinders and computer.
Locket scans the area between them and the door for signs of anything unusual.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
GM T: also, what is on the wall opposite the computer workstation? It looks like two little orbs on the map?
If the way appears clear, he will nod to the others and approach the door, listening carefully for any sounds from beyond.

Locket grunts as the jinsul strikes him from behind. Catching his kusari-fundo on its return orbit, he redirects it into an under-over pattern, first from one side of his body and back again.
The pahtra sends the weighted end zipping out towards the junsul in another double attack.

Locket joins Zephyr, pressing the attack on the blue jinsul. His kusari-fundo arcs out toward their opponent before swinging back and, with a practiced flick of the wrist, returns for another strike on the next orbit.
Kusari-fundo 1: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 13 - 4 = 23

Dashing through the doors, Locket sets his kusari-fundo spinning in a blur of crackling energy. Following in Zephyr's wake, he copies the android's approach, veering to the right at the last moment to stand before the red jinsul.
FYI - Locket has Coordinated Shot
When he is threatening a foe with a melee weapon, any ally that has line of sight to that foe without him granting that foe cover gains a +1 bonus to ranged attack rolls against that foe.
Ths weapon has reach so he is threatening both jinsuls.

His hands at waist height, open palms facing up, Locket inhales deeply as he slowly raises his hands in front of chest, elbows out to each side. Rotating his wrists, palms now down, he slowly exhales as he returns them to waist level. Repeating the upward movement and inhalation, this time on the exhalation he instead pushes his plams outward and away from his chest, the index fingers and thumbs of each hand meeting to form a triangle.
-1 RP to Gather Qi (Plasma Blast); RP: 8/9
Locket nods to Zephyr, ready for action.
