Once more without splash to anyone outside the designated target thanks to Bomber research field...
Bladden 5-ft steps forward and launches another series of bombs to try to get his teammates out of this jam...

Oh well, here we go, without splash to anyone outside the designated target thanks to Bomber research field...
Bladden looks to the left and right, seeing that they're surrounded now... he darts to the south and says, "Dave! I'll soften the one with a green tunic; Aspero! I'll try to zap that giant bug so you can line up a better shot!"
Action 1:STRIDE to move south as shown on map
Action 2:QUICK BOMBER Bladden chucks a [color=blue]bottled lightning[/color] at the green-robed gremlin

I don't want to kill that cat or hurt you. I'll wait for the GM before proceeding: I have the option to only hit one creature with no splash dmg, but it's not as splashy as the regular option! :)

Not a good day at the office I'd say! :P Does 2E PFS guidelines identify minor splash dmg as PvP? I think it was a limiting factor for alchemists in 1E, but I'm not sure now...
Bladden urges Dave to charge the green-robed critter beside him, and delays.

Aspero please take a step towards the bottom of the map as I don't want to PvP bomb you... also, what's the upside down cat representing? unconscious? prone? can you also move the cat north or east so as not be bombed? thanks! @Medium Dave: can you charge the green one beside me? then I'll move and bomb the three targets south (centering the bombs on the red stirge)

Hi GM Blake: how soon are we to finish this scenario? About a month ago I signed up for a PlayDis Con table with this PC and I think it starts soonish this week or next- let me know if we're still far off or soon to be done. If nowhere near I'll just withdraw from that other table so as to finish your game here first.

Perception:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11+2 if hidden or concealed via KEEN EYES
Bladden looks to the left and right at Aspero and Lleylo, "Oversized mosquitoes the size of ravens! now I've seen enough! I've had it with this place! let's save that poor dog!"
Action 1:STRIDE to move northeast
Action 2:QUICK BOMBER Bladden chucks a [color=blue]bottled lightning[/color] at the easternmost bloodseeker!
Bottled Lightning, 2nd increment:1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 2 = 6 electric dmg vs. pink:1d6 ⇒ 6 splash electric dmg vs. pink red yellow:1d1 ⇒ 1(even on a failure) Action 3:QUICK BOMBER Bladden chucks another [color=blue]bottled lightning[/color] at the easternmost bloodseeker!!
Bottled Lightning, 2nd increment, 2nd attack:1d20 + 5 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 2 - 5 = 18 electric dmg vs. pink:1d6 ⇒ 5

Splash (trait):
When you use a thrown weapon with the splash trait, you don’t add your Strength modifier to the damage roll. If an attack with a splash weapon fails, succeeds, or critically succeeds, all creatures within 5 feet of the target (including the target) take the listed splash damage. On a failure (but not a critical failure), the target of the attack still takes the splash damage. Add splash damage together with the initial damage against the target before applying the target’s weaknesses or resistances. You don’t multiply splash damage on a critical hit.

"May your soul find peace, kind Sir..." says Bladden as the man expires while providing them with a warning. The halfling nods towards Hamlet, echoing the man's desire for revenge as this mission finally takes its toll and becomes personal.

Bladden is trained indeed!
"This man is under the effect of a magical disease... we must bring him back to the village forthwith. My ministrations will only sustain him for another 2 hours I'm afraid. He will need round the clock treatment. Here, good Sir. Drink this. It will help ease the worse symptoms over the next 24 hours..."
Antiplague: Antiplague can fortify the body’s defenses against diseases. Upon drinking an antiplague, you gain an item bonus to Fortitude saving throws against diseases for 24 hours; this applies to your daily save against a disease’s progression. (lesser antiplague: you gain a +2 item bonus)

Bladden steps out of Dave's shadow, nose deep in a book, and takes a seat at the table upon hearing "ploughman's meal."
"I'll have that plougman special as well, seeing that we have missed tea this afternoon... oh, and I think we should all go check Witchtop Hill before dark."

"What else would warrant such an investment of time and gold? beside your personal interest in local legends and customs, of course; I find that personal interests rarely put food on the table. On the contrary, usually..."

Suggest we go to Lyon's House (A4) and the inn (A6) in that order; I'm also curious about the shrine of Hanspur from a pure out-of-character perspective, if we have time later
Bladden nods while listening to the gnome, and strikes up a tobacco-stuffed pipe. After a few satisfactory puffs, he says, "Thank you for all this information, Galia. First, let me say how clever these anti-mosquito improvements of yours are! this here is a true island of peace! well done in making your house such a haven!"
Diplomacy, Make an Impression:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Bladden waits for Galia's response before continuing, eyeing her facial expression carefully.
"Thank you for the leads Galia. Was the cultist's house here in the village, or outside somewhwere? did those who did the burning and salting recover some possessions off the body before burning it? who was in charge of these... sigh... funerals?"

@GM Blake: I have the Chronicle Sheet for 1-01 which gives an option for higher task level but the GM left it blank... do you happen to know which number should have gone in there?
i.e. 'Society Connections (Downtime): ... check the box that precedes this boon to attempt task level ____'
PS: I'll save this boon for later, so no worries... my GM informed me that yes, we hit the DC 14 and should be 40 cp total. (8 days x 5 CP per day)

Huh... looking at the 2E guide, I'm completely confused now... how does Downtime and Boons work?
I found the table on p.236 which sets the yield/money earned, which is very similar to the Chronicle Zero list... Chronicle Zero shows a DC 15 for 5 CP at level 1: are we bound to use that or can we use a more challenging task level? since downtime is 8 days, I assume we then get 40 CP i.e. 4 SP with downtime?

Bladden buys some fresh food- apples, dried plums and a head of cauliflower. He splurges for a 5-inch wide wheel of cheese and some fresh bread too. "I already have rations, but this beautiful face won't maintain itself with some dried stuff!" He looks for mosquito repellent as well.

Thanks for the information GM Wayfinder! I wasn't sure about the action economy since I don't have Quick Bomber- it's my first attempt to play 2E... should I forget about Alchemical Savant and go for Quick Bomber? I like the 'sound' of Alchemical Savant, but I'll gladly take anyone's advice here. I also had no idea that only fighter-type creatures could AoO! that is a big change!
"Oh my... what do we have here... certainly nothing that would heed my sound legal advice..." says Bladden, backpedaling a few steps and reaching for his pack. He retrieves a bottle filled with a blue semi-fluid which crackles with tiny lightning arcs, which are thankfully contained within the bottle. He launches the thing at the centipede with yellow mandibles!

"Ah! good find! as I recall the sword’s normal function is to serve as an important ceremonial item in services held by the church of Iomedae.

The sword is also strangely familiar but I can't quite put my finger on it... hmmm..."
