When a draconic predator threatens the food supply of a northern village, it is up to a group of heroes to track the creature back to its lair and end the threat it poses.

Falas will leverage that he believes the creature is flat footed to him for sneak attacks
OUT OF CHARACTER
PF2 is new me, I dont know using stealth roll for init - what does that mean to combat move speed? IF i can move full, this is my CHOICE of actions:

 

:1action: move G5, H7...K7, L6
:1action: Strike 1 with Rapier (rolled natural 1, net 8 vs flat footed ac) - critical miss?
:1action: Strike 2 with Dagger, 13 vs flat footed ac. if hit: 7 dam, if sneak +3 dam.
OUT OF CHARACTER
If i can only move 1/2, then cant do above

 

:1action: move H6, I7
:1action: throw dagger 26 to hit flat footed ac. [note, i think range increment '10 would make that -2 on to hit roll?] if hit 8 dam, and 5 sneak attack dam.
:1action: draw new dagger

:1action: Siril steps to F7
:1action: He Hunts his prey
:1action: He uses Hunted Shot to fire twice at the creature. (If both hit, damage is combined for purposes of resistances. 2nd shot -3 due to Hunted Prey).
1st shot: 12, damage: 5
2nd shot: 14, damage: 3

OUT OF CHARACTER
Silverstone: you can move up to your speed and still attack.

let me ask clearer, normal second attack is -5,. Electro, i think went from +7 first shot to +4 second shot in discord, thats only -3. I am not saying that's wrong, just trying to understand how, as for falas with agile weapon. At best second attack is -4.. looking for ways to reduce my penalty

I should have said Hunters Edge-Flurry, which you only gain when you Hunt Prey.

Hunt Prey: When you focus your attention on a single foe, you become unstoppable in your pursuit. You gain the Hunt Prey action
Hunt Prey: ◆ Designate a single crt as your prey and focus your atks vs that crt. You must be able to see or hear the prey, or you must be tracking the prey during exploration You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Perception checks when you Seek your prey and a +2 circumstance bonus to Survival checks when you Track your prey. You also ignore the penalty for making ranged atks within your second range increment vs the prey you are hunting. You can have only one crt designated as your prey at a time. If you use Hunt Prey vs a crt when you already have a crt designated, the prior crt loses the designation and the new prey gains the designation. Your designation lasts until your next daily preparations

Hunter's Edge - Flurry: You have trained to unleash a devastating flurry of atks upon your prey. Your multiple atk penalty for atks vs your hunted prey is -3 (-2 with an agile wpn) on your second atk of the turn instead of -5, and -6 (-4 with an agile wpn) on your third or subsequent atk of the turn, instead of -10

Let me see if I get the spell rules right.
For 1 action :1action: I can expand bless by 5' to 10'
For 2 actions :2actions: I can cast heal on Falas at a 30' range for d8 plus 8.
Any misconceptions?

Falas nods a thanks at Van, then whispers to Mazer It went West then south.. wonder if this south passage connects, I will scout it
:1action: Hide 22 roll in discord (after adjusting for clumsy 1, but before any cover bonus). I assume i need to hide before i can sneak, even though we cant see the monster now.
OUT OF CHARACTER
I plan to sneak southwards along west wall, until i can either see this passage wont connect to where the monster went, or will try to sneak along the path if it does connect.
IF its there and i happen to get spotted, aka if my sneak/hide is blown, i will yell out "its down here"...
If/once i can realize its cant connect, i would turn around and sneak back up towards where i entered.

 

:1action: Sneak 17 roll in discord, (after adjusted for Clumsy 1, but before any possible cover benefit). half move so 15'. L5, K4, K3

assuming i dont see a connection west blocked yet.. :1action: Sneak 7 roll in discord, half move so 15'. L2,K1... (that would use up my 15'),

After arriving at k3, Falas does not see any connecting tunnels that way... You would sneak back to L6 and have :1action: left! DO you do anything with that last action?

Mazer will keep his shield raised and move west in the direction of the beast. He will stride to N5 and hold position for the others to catch up.
:1action: Raise shield
:1action: Stride to N5

Hold last action.

Combat Round #2
Initiative Order:
Van: Van casts Heal on Falas, healing him for +10 HPs and advising more caution. He then concentrates to expand his Bless spell to 10' radium around him.
Falas: Falas scouts the southern corridor, and returns once he has established it does not connect west.
Mazer: Mazer raises his shield and Strides forward.
Siril: Siril advances forward. He sees opening NorthWest and Southwest. The cavern in front of him is visibly lower then the current level he is standing on. Roll Perception Check to examine the steps leading down
Creature: -
--End of Round #2--

 

NOTE: Siril will move to L5, and then cautiously to O5.
Please use the actions defined in PF2e! "Move" is not a PF2e action, nor is cautiously (which means what? {Seek?} Or not making noise? {Sneak?})

Perception Roll: 13
Sneak is the action used in Combat while you move to another place while becoming or staying undetected.
Seek is the action to scan an area for signs of creatures or objects.

Search is an EXPLORATION activity (i.e. not while in Combat)
Avoid notice is the EXPLORATION mode version of Sneak.

So then it was...

:1action: Siril will STRIDE to L5
:1action: and then SNEAK to O5.
:1action: He looks carefully (SEEK?) at the steps leading down. Why did the creature jump down them?


None of which made any difference because the rogue already bolted past me down the stairs.
