<h2 class="no-toc">F32. Bedroom Suite</h2>
<p class="read-aloud">
This large bedroom is outfitted with rich furniture, including a canopy bed,
wardrobe, sofa, and small dining table. Dim light filters into the room
through arched windows in the corner, which are mostly covered by curtains. In
one corner of the room, a white sheet is draped over a bulky statue or
mechanical contraption, shrouding it from view.
</p>
<p>
These two bedrooms flank opposite sides of the same hallway (area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03thekillzone000]{F30}).
They both fetch a high price as luxury suites, each with an adjacent sitting
room (areas
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03luxurysittin00]{F31})
and positioned on the top deck of the ship right next to the bar (area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03cruisebar00000]{F33}).
Loveless has rented out these rooms and the bar nearby to house her
shieldmarshal lackeys. Each room contains one gatling gun and several crates
of ammo hidden beneath the white sheet in the corner of the room.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Gatling Guns:</strong> Loveless commissioned this pair of experimental
firearms years ago from the Gunworks. They’ve proved to be powerful weapons
but are often short-lived as the barrels quickly overheat and warp from
repeated use. For short bursts of fire, though, they’re quite deadly.
</p>
<p>
A person trained in the use of the gatling gun can operate it by spending 3
Interact actions each round to feed ammo into the machine while it fires a
spray of bullets. The gun deals [[/r {2d12+13}[piercing]]]{2d12+13 piercing
damage} to all creatures in a @Template[cone|distance:60]
(@Check[reflex|dc:29|basic] save). The gatling gun can fire for 4
rounds before it must be reloaded, which takes 1 minute. Each gun is 50 Bulk
and, if moved to a new location, takes 10 minutes to properly assemble. Each
round the gatling gun fires, there is a 5% chance (roll a
@Check[flat|dc:2] check) that the barrel jams and explodes, breaking the
machine.
</p>
<p>
A character can figure out how to use a gatling gun by succeeding at a
@Check[engineering-lore|dc:29]{Engineering Lore} or
@Check[crafting|dc:29] check. Note the walls to area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03cruisebar00000]{F33} are composed of steel bulkhead, so the
gun can’t be fired through the wall into the room where Loveless resides.

these rooms at all times. If they hear the sound of the alarm in area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03thekillzone000]{F30}, the guards quickly get ready to
attack, as described in that area. If they spot people peering into their
room from the aft windows, they usually just curse at them before rising to
close the curtains completely. If they recognize the characters, however,
they run out to fight the party head-on.
</p>
<p>
The characters most likely fight all six shieldmarshals as part of a single
encounter in area F30. If the characters avoid that ambush though, they can
attack each group of shieldmarshals individually. In this case, each trio is
a trivial encounter.

<p>Once Loveless activates the clockwork bomb in area @UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03cruisebar00000]{F33}, the characters don’t have long before it explodes, taking them and everyone on the <i>Gearsmoke</i> with it. After recovering the final clockwork key from Loveless, the party must race through the ship as it teeters at the edge of Alken Falls.</p>
<p>During this chase encounter, the characters must overcome six obstacles in order to reach the bomb and disarm it. The characters have 6 rounds to overcome these obstacles, after which the bomb explodes as described in @UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03event19disar00]{Event 19}. Each chase round represents 1 minute of in-game time, but this duration can be modified depending on how far away the bomb is from the party. This chase assumes the runaway bomb (area F33) has traveled its entire course and ended up in area @UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03cigarlounge000]{F12}. If the characters somehow managed to slow down or stop the bomb along the way (a difficult prospect given the heavy bomb’s weight and momentum), then each chase round might instead represent 30 seconds of in-world time or, on the extreme end, just 6 seconds.</p>
<p>This chase encounter uses the same rules detailed on page 156 of the Gamemastery Guide. For convenience, the rules are summarized here.</p>
<p>Each round, the characters must attempt checks to earn enough Chase Points to overcome their current obstacle, with each character attempting one of the listed checks for the obstacle. Each success earns the party 1 Chase Point, whereas a critical success awards 2 Chase Points. On a critical failure, the party loses 1 Chase Point (the party can never have fewer that 0 Chase Points). The party must collectively accrue the number of Chase Points indicated in the obstacle. For example, for the first obstacle, Rocking Boat, once the party accrues 4 Chase Points, they progress to the next obstacle; it might take only two characters to overcome the obstacle (if they both roll critical successes), in which case the remaining characters in the party can proceed to roll checks for the next obstacle. Initiative order doesn’t matter; players can take their turns each round in any order they like. </p>
<p>Players can and should come up with creative ways of overcoming obstacles that play into their strengths, in which case you should use one of the listed DCs for whatever type of check the player convinces you is appropriate. At your discretion, an especially useful action—such as a character casting their highest-level spell or activating an item’s once-a-day ability—allows the party to bypass an obstacle entirely. </p>
<p>If the characters didn’t disarm the other bombs before Loveless triggered the detonation sequence, they’ll need to scramble all over the boat to disarm those as well. In this case, you can divide the following obstacles between the total number of bombs that need to be disarmed, or you can devise additional chase obstacles for the other bombs.</p>

<p><strong>Concluding the Chase:</strong> After navigating through all six obstacles, the characters reach the clockwork bomb and can use the key to deactivate it. Shortly afterward, the <i>Gearsmoke</i> finally reaches equilibrium atop the waterfall and stops rocking back and forth, allowing all passengers to be safely evacuated. If the characters fail to overcome their obstacles within 6 rounds, the bomb explodes. For suggestions on how to proceed in the instance of this dire possibility, see @UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18004contin.JournalEntryPage.04whatifthepar00]{What if the Party Fails?}. </p>
<p><strong>XP Award:</strong> For successfully overcoming all the obstacles, award each character 80 XP. </p>

<p><strong>Concluding the Chase:</strong> After navigating through all six obstacles, the characters reach the clockwork bomb and can use the key to deactivate it. Shortly afterward, the <i>Gearsmoke</i> finally reaches equilibrium atop the waterfall and stops rocking back and forth, allowing all passengers to be safely evacuated. If the characters fail to overcome their obstacles within 6 rounds, the bomb explodes. For suggestions on how to proceed in the instance of this dire possibility, see @UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18004contin.JournalEntryPage.04whatifthepar00]{What if the Party Fails?}. </p>
<p><strong>XP Award:</strong> For successfully overcoming all the obstacles, award each character 80 XP. </p>

<h2 class="no-toc">F33. Cruise Bar</h2>
<p class="read-aloud">
A large bar fills the center of this room, surrounded by cushioned red stools
and several small tables. Sleeping cots, clearly set up for temporary use, are
scattered throughout the large cabin.
</p>
<p>
During most trips, this room is the ship’s liveliest area, filled with
drinking and gambling guests. For this trip however, Loveless has rented out
the entire bar.
</p>
<p>
Loveless and Ibrium spend the majority of the river cruise hidden away in this
room, remotely monitoring the ship’s progress through the eyes and ears of
Loveless’s shieldmarshals and the boat’s crew, who regularly report here. When
the characters first arrive, Loveless and Ibrium are accompanied by two of the
deputy’s loyal followers.
</p>
<p>
Before confronting Loveless here, the characters have hopefully recovered
Alethsia’s clockwork key and disabled the two bombs elsewhere on the
<i>Gearsmoke</i>, meaning there’s only one bomb left. Loveless didn’t trust
leaving the final bomb out of her sight, so it’s located in this room with
her. By the time the characters enter this area, Loveless has already armed
all remaining functional bombs on the ship, which are set to explode in just
seconds or minutes. She carries the clockwork key to the final bomb in this
room in her pocket.
</p>
<aside class="sidebar">
<h1 class="no-toc">The Final Encounter</h1>
<p>
The encounter against Loveless, Ibrium, and the elite shieldmarshals in
area F33 is the final, climactic encounter of the Outlaws of Alkenstar
Adventure Path. It’s on the high end of a severe-threat encounter for
10th-level characters, so the party will almost certainly need to stick
together to survive. If one or more characters abandon the fight to pursue
the runaway bomb, consider having one or two of the enemies from this room
pursue them to ensure the characters who remain in this room aren’t
totally overwhelmed.
</p>
<p>
A lot of this final encounter hinges on the assumption that Ibrium
activates his teleportation ritual as soon as the characters enter the
area. If your players have taken great efforts to hide their efforts from
the adventure’s villains or found some way to get the jump on Ibrium and
Loveless, this uninterruptible scene might seem farfetched or outright
unfair. In this case, you can modify the encounter so Ibrium instead
completes the ritual in the midst of combat; to do so, he must spend 2
actions to Cast a Spell, and the characters might be able to interrupt
this spell.
</p>
<p>
When in doubt, err on the side of your players. Simply put, if the people
at your table would have more fun disrupting Loveless and Ibrium’s scheme
before it has even the slightest chance of success—and their characters
make all the right moves to accomplish this feat—then you’re likely better
off playing out that scene rather than forcing a potentially frustrating
climactic scene. (Of course, it’s highly unlikely the characters don’t
bungle at least part of their mission on the <i>Gearsmoke</i>, in which
case you shouldn’t be afraid to say “Bombs away!” and run the encounter as
written.)

<strong>Final Countdown:</strong> By now, Loveless and Ibrium know their
plan is close to failure, so they trigger their last contingency. Just as
the characters enter this area, several things happen all at once, starting
with Ibrium activating his teleportation ritual, which instantly transports
the entire boat to the precipice of the Alken Falls. The sudden
teleportation causes catastrophic damage to the ship, rupturing the hull in
several places and throwing the boat off kilter.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Off-Kilter Boat:</strong> Once Ibrium enacts his ritual, the entire
boat is teleported to a rocky outcropping just on the edge of the Alken
Falls, now directly under the middle of the ship’s hull. For the next 10
rounds, the boat slowly rocks back and forth as it reaches equilibrium atop
the rock. At the beginning of the first round of combat, before any creature
can act, the boat tilts toward the bow. Each creature standing on the deck
of the <i>Gearsmoke</i> must succeed at a @Check[fortitude|dc:27] or
@Check[reflex|dc:27] save (creature’s choice) or stumble 10 feet toward
the bow of the boat and become
@Compendium[pf2e.conditionitems.AJh5ex99aV6VTggg]{Flat-Footed} until the
start of the next round; on a critical failure, the creature also falls
@Compendium[pf2e.conditionitems.j91X7x0XSomq8d60]{Prone}. At the start of
the next round, the boat tilts toward the stern, triggering the same process
in reverse. The boat continues to rock this way for 10 rounds or until the
pyronite bomb detonates, whichever happens first.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Runaway Bomb:</strong> At the beginning of the first round of
combat, before any creature can act and after Ibrium has enacted his ritual,
a hole ruptures open in the floor of this room, causing the bomb to fall
through to the hallway outside area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03servantsquar00]{F22}
as the ship tilts toward the bow. On the second round of combat, the boat
tilts toward the stern, causing the heavy bomb to crash through the hallways
and doors of the ship until it reaches the edge of the stern in area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03entertainmen00]{F18},
where it becomes stuck in place, jammed on a rupture in the deck. On the
third and fourth round of combat, it remains stuck here. On the fifth round,
the bomb finally crashes through the floor to area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03dininghall0000]{F17}
below, then slides across the ship toward the bow, tumbling through a
hallway before coming to a rest in area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03cigarlounge000]{F12}.
It remains stuck in this room until it explodes or is disarmed.

<p class="read-aloud">
This large bedroom is outfitted with rich furniture, including a canopy bed,
wardrobe, sofa, and small dining table. Dim light filters into the room
through arched windows in the corner, which are mostly covered by curtains. In
one corner of the room, a white sheet is draped over a bulky statue or
mechanical contraption, shrouding it from view.
</p>
<p>
These two bedrooms flank opposite sides of the same hallway (area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03thekillzone000]{F30}).
They both fetch a high price as luxury suites, each with an adjacent sitting
room (areas

and positioned on the top deck of the ship right next to the bar (area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03cruisebar00000]{F33}).
Loveless has rented out these rooms and the bar nearby to house her
shieldmarshal lackeys. Each room contains one gatling gun and several crates
of ammo hidden beneath the white sheet in the corner of the room.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Gatling Guns:</strong> Loveless commissioned this pair of experimental
firearms years ago from the Gunworks. They’ve proved to be powerful weapons
but are often short-lived as the barrels quickly overheat and warp from
repeated use. For short bursts of fire, though, they’re quite deadly.
</p>
<p>
A person trained in the use of the gatling gun can operate it by spending 3
Interact actions each round to feed ammo into the machine while it fires a
spray of bullets. The gun deals [[/r {2d12+13}[piercing]]]{2d12+13 piercing
damage} to all creatures in a @template[cone|distance:60]
(@Check[reflex|dc:29|basic] save). The gatling gun can fire for 4
rounds before it must be reloaded, which takes 1 minute. Each gun is 50 Bulk
and, if moved to a new location, takes 10 minutes to properly assemble. Each
round the gatling gun fires, there is a 5% chance (roll a
@Check[flat|dc:2] check) that the barrel jams and explodes, breaking the
machine.
</p>
<p>
A character can figure out how to use a gatling gun by succeeding at a
@Check[engineering-lore|dc:29]{Engineering Lore} or
@Check[crafting|dc:29] check. Note the walls to area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03cruisebar00000]{F33} are composed of steel bulkhead, so the

room from the aft windows, they usually just curse at them before rising to
close the curtains completely. If they recognize the characters, however,
they run out to fight the party head-on.
</p>
<p>
The characters most likely fight all six shieldmarshals as part of a single
encounter in area F30. If the characters avoid that ambush though, they can
attack each group of shieldmarshals individually. In this case, each trio is
a trivial encounter.

<p>
<strong>Creatures:</strong> Three shieldmarshals are stationed in each of
these rooms at all times. If they hear the sound of the alarm in area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03thekillzone000]{F30}, the guards quickly get ready to
attack, as described in that area. If they spot people peering into their
room from the aft windows, they usually just curse at them before rising to
close the curtains completely. If they recognize the characters, however,
they run out to fight the party head-on.
</p>
<p>
The characters most likely fight all six shieldmarshals as part of a single
encounter in area F30. If the characters avoid that ambush though, they can
attack each group of shieldmarshals individually. In this case, each trio is
a trivial encounter.

<h2 class="no-toc">F30. The Kill Zone</h2>
<p>
Loveless and her lackeys have laid a trap in this hallway to kill any
intruders. The door leading into this hallway from area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03upperenterta00]{F29} is
rigged with a small alarm bell that, if triggered, alerts the shieldmarshals
in areas
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03bedroomsuite00]{F32}.
To avoid accidentally triggering their own trap, shieldmarshals wishing to
enter this hallway first knock on the window to area F32. This alerts the
shieldmarshals inside, who look out to see who knocked and then walk to area
F30 to switch off the bell alarm to allow the newcomers to enter. Unlike most
of the <i>Gearsmoke</i>, this interior hallway (along with the areas marked
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03luxurysittin00]{F31})
was built after the ship was created and has walls made of wood.

<strong>Creatures:</strong> All told, six shieldmarshals lurk in the areas
marked @UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03bedroomsuite00]{F32}, three in each room. If alerted,
one shieldmarshal in each room runs to the gatling gun, while the other two
ready actions to shoot anyone who enters from area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03luxurysittin00]{F31}. The gatling guns are powerful enough
to shoot straight through the walls of areas F30 and F31, which are composed
of thin wood, so when the shieldmarshals open fire they fill this hallway
and the adjacent sitting rooms (areas F31) with a spray of bullets.
Creatures in either area take [[/r {2d12+13}[piercing]]]{2d12+13 piercing
damage} (@Check[reflex|dc:29|basic] save), but they have standard
@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.other-effects.I9lfZUiCwMiGogVi]{Cover} thanks to the
walls and gain a +2 bonus to their Reflex saves against the gatling guns. A
full description of how each gatling gun works is provided in area F32.
