The two guards struggled ineffectively against the tentacles as the half-orc woman fires a pair of scorching rays at Baz before backing up out of the tentacles.
I Definitely need some support. I can't even scratch the metal construct. I think I'm going to have to dive into the Black Tentacles to try to get some relief from it...
Choosing: Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves for this round

Shel moves away from the gearsman, taking the Attack of Opportunity as she does so. She double moves down near Lucija, hoping that one of her friends would have more luck than she had.
Shel will take the +2 bonus to AC, making her current AC 24.

What Knowlege check is appropriate for knowing things about gearsmen?
Stepping back to the bar, Maps offers a strong suggestion to Shel. "Get behind me."
Releasing his pole arm, he dedicates himself to putting bullets in the air. His double-barreled gun whips back around and is reloaded in a flash of his hands. Two rounds fly at the mage, followed by a third, while Maps' other hand draws his second gun and puts an adamantine bullet into the gearsman going after Shel.
If these shots take down the Mage, Maps should regain 1 grit, which he will use for Up Close and Deadly on the Gearsman. Mwk pistol loaded with adamantine bullet at Gearsman (touch):1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 Damage:1d8 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 Up Close and Deadly:2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

Lucija and Naghamadi will both be taking the attack roll/AC/Reflex bonus - oh, and for what it's worth, were you aware Naghamadi's attacks count as magic, and that the extra 1d6 is fire damage?
tentacles:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26This is against everyone presently within the area. Add +5 to this in the case of those already grappled. damage:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Lucija casts slow on the accelerated enemies (Will DC 18).
Naghamadi (the purple-and-black lightning bolt for now) moves as shown, and attacks the gearsman there.

No worries, I got you.
Moving through Map's area, the fire priest circles around to get near Shel, drawing his blade as he moves, but flipping it to catch the bladed end.
"Here, milady, try this out. It's a bit big, I understand, but it is a personal gift from my Parents and should strike true."
As he holds the blade out for the Halfling to take, he comes to a stop besides the Halfling, and suddenly the flames around his head burst into a brighter, glowing green color. "Omicusa, sasombra-konus. Hold that ring tight, my dear."
Moving through Maps to hopefully avoid an AoO, drawing weapon as I move, and then casting an Extended Shield Other on Shel, (swapping he +2 for a free Extend this round). Unsure on if I am threatened by that northernmost Gear'sman, but if needed I'll cast defensively.
@Maps: I believe KN (engineering) is appropriate for robots, although I have seen KN (arcana) used as well (perhaps with a penalty?). I'll have to double-check the Guide, which has special Season 6 rules somewhere. @Lucija: Noted, but the robots have hardness, which is still applied.
Maps puts three bullets in the mage, followed by a piercing bullet on the northern gearsman! Didn't drop the mage so presuming no UCaD damage unless you say otherwise.
Miraculously one of the guards breaks free of the tentacles and chases after the half-orc sorceress, who has come around through the back entrance. You can hear her casting something in the back.

Round 3
"I hate when they do that, but. . ." and again suddenly the small flames coming from his head flash with divine power, if not fury, "no evil can hide from the sight of the righteous!"
Taking a step back to what I hope is a non-threatened area, and casting Invisibility Purge, radiating out from me 50ft, (and going back to the +2's again). Invisibility Purge is the green dotted area.

If invisibility purge reveals the mage, Maps will put a few shots into him. If he's out of sight, or quickly drops, he will switch to the pyromancer. If he drops someone and regains a grit, he will expend it on the BOF extra shot.
His scarf-clad tentacle takes Maps' second gun, freeing up his hands to rapidly reload alchemical round and fire them at the enemy.
Hailey climbs over to the other side of the bar and summons a burst of sound to slam down on (the casting?) half-orc fire sorcerer
(casting sound burst, going by the map I should drop it in the doorway to avoid hitting the eidelon, which means the guard outside is in the area as well)
Sonic damage:1d8 ⇒ 1 - concentration check if still casting and a DC 15 fort save or stunned for 1 round for both the half-orc fire sorcerrer and the red guard.
Ingatius casts a spell to reveal the mage as Baz takes down the first gearsman! Lucija heals Naghamadi, who flies over to the half-orc woman! The fire does not seem to harm the woman.
Maps drops the mage in one shot! You don't seem to have line-of-sight on the other caster. I'll assume your other shots are probably against the gearsman? Maps then uses the next few shots to finish off the other robot!

You realize that only 4 of the 13 damage was fire, right? The rest was enchanted physical.
@Lucija: I know, I noted the physical damage separately.
cmb:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
The poor blue-garbed guard still struggles against the tentacles. His counterpart catches up and steps before the sorceress to swing his sword at Naghamadi while the half-orc woman shoots two firey rays at the eidolon:

Maps springs through the tavern, loading his double-barreled firearm with a bullet as he goes. Circling the enemy in the other room, he levels his gun, but holds his shot until the second mage attempts a spell.
Ready Action:
+1 double-pistol (vs touch with PBS DA - allies in combat):1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 Damage:1d8 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Baz moves into the back room, followed by Shel. Maps keeps his firearm at the ready. None of the Technic League agents look prepared to listen to Hailey's warnings.

Naghamadi's bite has reach - our pyromancer friend provokes an attack of opportunity if she'd cast that last spell where she was - either that, or she needed to make a defensive casting check.
In the event of the former: attack of opportunity:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 bite damage + fire:1d8 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (5) = 10
Naghamadi moves as shown and continues attacking the pyromancer. Acrobatics:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 and in case a second one is needed...:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Making certain that Shell doesn't flee too far, lest she break their divine bond, I'll move slightly closer, but not before sending a flaming bolt of divine energy at the poor sap still caught in the shadowy tendrils.
Ah, I didn't realize Naghamadi had reach. She would have of course backed up before doing that.
The man trapped in the tentacles finally passes out from the constricting damage! Naghamadi bites into the half-orc as Ignatius brings the guard back to consciousness.

Taking the Extend Spell Option once more, I'll move into the room with everyone, and shout "Halt!", looking at the enemy near Lucija and Bazresh, invoking my divine heritage to shatter their will and hopefully stop the conflict from causing further death and harm with a single Command
Will DC 15 Negates:
Halt: The subject stands in place for 1 2 rounds. It may not take any actions but is not considered helpless.
Then addressing all of our foes, "Surrender, and you will not be harmed nor killed. It is clear you are outnumbered. There is no need to die when we can show you a different path."

Ingret grumbles about the damage done to her tavern, especially from the fireball and lightning bolt but thanks you for saving her. "I fear this won't be the last we hear from the Technic League. You ought to leave the city as soon as possible. It wouldn't be right for me to flee, I'm a pillar of the dwarven community here. I'll talk to Brissa about seeking asylum in the Cathedral."

"I am certain we could work something out with the Society as well. I know in the past they have been very open to the idea of helping out its friends, especially if those friends can help to house some of our agents when they need it.

Picking over the gear of the Technic League thugs, Maps is surprised by their possessions, or rather the lack thereof of certain items. Aside from their gearsmen soldiers, his own firearms are more advanced.
Claiming a tanglefoot bag and a potion of cure moderate wounds, he nods at Ingret's advice and gestures to the bodies of their attackers.
"Not much tech. Probably just thugs. We should get moving."

"I could use that ring of protection, if no one else needs it more," Shel grunts as she pulls it from the equipment pile. "Thanks for helping me out back there, everyone. I'm worthless against big buckets of bolts like that, unfortunately."
Shel can use the ring of protection. Anyone else want it?
The shallow ravine known locally as the Silver Trough lies three days southwest of Chessed, and by following the instructions laid out in Ingret’s journal, you can reach the landmark with no difficulty. The walls of the ravine are flecked with slivers of silvery metal.
DC 20 Knowledge (engineering):
You think the metal flecks are the remains of a starship piece that fragmented and melted during a crash.
The journal’s map points to a crash site surrounded by gnarled trees only a mile from the ravine’s entrance, and there is a break in the trees to the south.
Like a rotting gourd, a rounded metal ruin lies atop a low rise. In numerous places its surface is punctured—sometimes buckled inward as though something had struck it from the outside, and other times flared out as though something within had violently escaped. A ring of gnarled trees grows around the site, as if it were an oasis in the deserted wasteland of Sovereign’s Reach.
A strange transparent canister lies outside nearby.

Heeding the advice, I'll stay back, but try to help out if I spot any magical aura's with a quick Detect Magic or Evil if my Shining Wayfinder's directional arrow moves.
