<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.

</div>
<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.

<p>Once they’ve entered the Vault of Secrets, the characters need to search areas

@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18001armsra.JournalEntryPage.01shieldmarsha01]{A4} for clues. To do this, they must sift
through stacks of logbooks and official documents by attempting a @Check[society|dc:25] or
@Check[accounting-lore|dc:25]{Accounting Lore}, @Check[legal-lore|dc:25]{Legal Lore}, or
@Check[underworld-lore|dc:25]{Underworld Lore} Lore check. For each successful check, a character discovers one
of the leads below. </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Christia Tombend:</strong> A tattered day log indicates Loveless has met with a wealthy Alkenstar
benefactor named Christia Tombend on many occasions. Tombend is hosting a gathering at her flat in Graeson’s Fingers
tomorrow, and the day log contains invitations to the event.</li>
<li><strong>Rhangyl Foruza:</strong> An auspicious newspaper clipping stands out amid Loveless’s things. According to
the article, a local river merchant named Rhangyl Foruza was captured by the shieldmarshals and is scheduled for
public hanging in 2 days’ time. </li>
<li><strong>Dash:</strong> Loveless’s minions have been searching for a cattle rustler named Dash, a known associate
of the aforementioned Rhangyl Foruza. So far, however, the shieldmarshals haven’t been able to find the elusive
rancher.</li>
</ul>
<p>After 1 round of searching, loud footsteps echo through the hall in area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18001armsra.JournalEntryPage.01carriagehang00]{A1}, alerting the characters that someone is
approaching. If they want to sneak out of the vault undetected, they need to find the remaining clues fast! The
characters have 2 more rounds to search, after which the door to area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18001armsra.JournalEntryPage.01shieldmarsha00]{A2} opens. At this point, the party can’t
continue searching without being detected, so they need to find some way to deal with the newcomers.</p>
<p><strong>Creatures:</strong> When the door opens, read or paraphrase the following.</p>
<div class="read-aloud">
<p>With a loud squeal, the vault door swings open and a uniformed shieldmarshal steps into the room, accompanied by
four burly dwarves wearing dark suits and bowler hats.</p>

before the big show. Let’s get cleaning.”</p>

@Compendium[pf2e.actionspf2e.1OagaWtBpVXExToo]{Recall Knowledge} identifies the four toughs as Leadsmiths, private
detectives and mercenaries who serve Alkenstar’s wealthy. The leader of the Leadsmiths is a fearsome cyclops
gunslinger named Vewslog, though he isn’t present at this time. Loveless knows that agents of the grand duchess are
aware of her plans, so she’s hired the Leadsmiths to clean up her back trail, removing any clues that might make her
look bad along the way. </p>
<p>If the characters are still in the room when Atticus and the Leadsmiths arrive, use encounter mode to determine
everyone’s movements round by round. Unless the characters are being exceptionally noisy or purposefully standing
out, the interlopers don’t immediately notice them. Atticus and the Leadsmiths fan out and begin rifling through
papers, starting on the north end of area @UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18001armsra.JournalEntryPage.01shieldmarsha00]{A2}
and then moving into the northern hallway to check out the areas marked
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18001armsra.JournalEntryPage.01shieldmarsha01]{A4}. If the characters are patient and
careful, they might be able to sneak by the group without ever revealing their presence. This requires each member
of the party to succeed at a Stealth or Deception check against the Perception DC of the nearest enemy. If any
characters are spotted, the Leadsmiths attack at once. </p>
<p>Though he thinks highly of himself, Atticus is totally in the dark about Loveless’s actual plans. He’s been calling
her scheme “the big show,” but beyond vague promises that Atticus will serve as one of the lieutenants of Loveless’s

<p>The stagecoach Dunsmith described arrives at Alkenstar from Martel shortly after noon, entering the city in the Ferrous Quarter and rambling through the streets to a warehouse in Steamhaven. This unassuming brick warehouse contains a secret elevator down to the infamous Vault of Secrets.</p>
<p>The characters are free to stage their heist anywhere along the stagecoach’s route. Built to transport heavy cargo, the steel-sided stagecoach is 10 feet wide, 15 feet long, and pulled by two powerful clockwork steeds.

<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>

<h2 class="no-toc">F34. Captain’s Wheel</h2>
<p class="read-aloud">
The curved wall of this room is filled with floor-to-ceiling windows that look
out the bow of the ship and over the river below. A shiny steel steering wheel
stands in the center of the room, surrounded by an assortment of mechanical
levers.
</p>
<p>
This room contains all the controls necessary to operate the <i>Gearsmoke</i>.
A character who succeeds at a @Check[sailing-lore|dc:22]{Sailing Lore}
check can use the wheel and levers to alter the course of the ship, increase
or decrease the engine speed, or open and close the cargo hatch containers in
areas
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03cargoholdnr100]{F8} and
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03cargoholdnr300]{F6}.
The stairs in this room lead down to area
@UUID[JournalEntry.pf2ap18003bloodi.JournalEntryPage.03stairs00000004]{F27}.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Creatures:</strong> During the day, Captain Elford can usually be
found in this room along with several crew members. At night, the wheel is
usually manned by First Mate Parker, although on quiet nights, he sometimes
abandons his post to go gambling, leaving lower-ranking crew members in
charge.
