The plateau is 10 feet higher then you Osskalessk, not sure if you want to alter your attack?

Looking at the map, I was under the impression it was 5 feet high, at least where the Ysoki are. Was I mistaken? How could I get up there, if it's 10 feet high?

nm... you are right, I screwed up with placement so carry on!

Osskalessk makes his way up to one of the Ysoki's and hits him soundly, the Ysoki looks badly injured at the moment. After that the creature on the high ledge seems to do some sort of incantiation while she is looking at Osskalessk. "You will not take Reynald away from us! he is our savior!" is being yelled by the creature.

Ah well, better me than someone else. Get'em, guys!

Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6, +2 if it's a fear effect.

Cheese curds, the dice are not on my side.

"The probability of Reynald being your savior is less than .037%, equating to a 99.963% chance of serious disappointment during your dying moments," informs 0x320 as he begins his forward assault up the hill, firing back verbally and literally at the mystic.

light reaction cannon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
damage: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Taeon moves away from the others to see the red Ysoki better. He concentrates for a moment and suddenly a rock flies out from the cliff towards the ratfolk.

Taeon is using his psychic power, Telekinetic Projectile
Ranged Attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Sorry for the delay, weekend was a bit rougher and I passed out after work yesterday :P

The ysoki engaged by Ossalessk steps back and shoots his laser pistol point blank at the vesk.

Azimuth Laser Pistol (EAC): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Down to 5 HP. I can still make it. I think.

Forgot to post this at work yesterday

Ru pulls her pistol and fires it at the red enemy.

Attack 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Piercing damage 1d6 ⇒ 4

No action for poor Ceolor? :'( I'll still post my turn's actions just in case.

Catching sight of the enemy almost immediately Ceolor doesn't seem to react to their precesnce, instead doing the opposite and closing his eyes to them. With a hum, he drops into a meditative state for a few seconds while the rest of his team start fight with the enemies. After a bit he opens his eyes, and with a burning intensity that could rival the sun, he stares at his enemies, trying to get a handle on the combat. While he does so he reaches up to the small floating mote of darkness just behind his shoulder and grips it. He pulls on the mote, but the mote doesn't move, instead stretching as it's pulled. With a gesture reminiscent of flicking a scarf around one's shoulders, he pulls the expanding blackness across his neck and flicks it across his back. The dark scarf then starts to expand down reaching to Ceolor's ankles, creating a cloak of slightly translucent inky blackness.

Extending a hand from the cloak, Ceolor gives a sharp click with his tongue, and a his rifle pops into existence in his hand. With a practiced rush, he takes off the safety, brings the rifle to his shoulder and takes aim.
Taking a few milliseconds to target the spell caster, the red man fires a shot.

Since Twich is at the top of the initiative for the next round, I'm posting now to hopefully help keep things moving.

Twich points her laser pistol at the red ysoki and fires.

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

damage,critical: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8
burn damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Sorry for delay, crashed monday and fell ill yesterday

With everything going on Twich manages to drop one Ysoki and leaving Osskalessk up for another attack

** Rolls needed **

Twich, you only crit when you roll a nat 20

Grrrr, I could have sworn that was a natural 20 when I previewed the post to see if I should roll damage... Damage is just 4, then, using the first part of the roll.

With a wicked grin, the heavily wounded Ossk swings his doshko and brings it crashing on the ysoki in front of him.

Attack roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage roll: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

.sigh. I so miss doing x1.5 damage with two-handed weapons. I hope I hit is AC. Well, here goes nothing.

And with a massive swing Osskalessk finishes the 2nd ysoki, in return it garnered the interest of the massive creature near him who turned her gaze to Osskalessk and once more unleashed a blast at him.

Osskalessk: DC 14 Will save for half damage

The small screen on Taeon's headband moves closer to his eye and the lashunta raises his pulsecaster rifle. He aims at the massive creature and fires.

Activate combat tracking. +1 to his attack
Attack (CT): 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7
Non-lethal Electricity Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Ceolor keeps the burning intensity in his eyes as he rushes out of the vehicle and sets up a prime spot to shoot at the remaining creature from. He then shoots!

_______
Keeping in Photon attunement for two of three attunement points. Moving with a move action and shooting with a standard.
Pew kapew: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Feel the burn!: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Wee a miss! Sorry if this post isn't up to a high caliber, I'm pretty inebriated right now.

Twich decides it's time to quit being shy and afraid to show off. She calculates in her head for a moment, then points with her finger and says "Boop!" Three hard pellets of magical energy then fly off her finger and hit the enemy. Using full action for the third missile

damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4, 2) + 3 = 12

Ru keeps firing at the large enemy.

Attack 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Piercing damage 1d6 ⇒ 1

I was at 5HP, regardless of the save I'm out. Still, just for fun:
Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
I take 14 damage. 5 reduce my HP to 0, the remaining 9 are not enough to count as Massive Damage so at least I'm not dead.

Roaring in pain, Osskalessk drops his doshko and clutches the sides of his head, every neuron in his brain burning in agony. Unable to resist the mental assault, his eyes roll to the back of his head and he collapses, unconscious and dying.

I have 4 RP so take her out first. I have a couple of serums of healing on me, so if afterwards someone could use one to get me back up, I'd appreciate it.

With a gritty thud, 0x320 continues to execute the assault.

There's one last ysoki, right? Firing at that one and then advancing if it goes down...
light reaction cannon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
damage: 1d10 ⇒ 3

There was only one left, the one I took out. Twitch had already taken out the first one.

With the combined effort of the pathfinders the creature is slain, leaving Osskalessk on the floor. peace and quiet settles over the area. With that done the Starfinders can loot the bodies and then move towards the mine that was their goal.

Thasteron Mine
A sloping ramp descends to the west, made of hard-packed red dirt that shows signs of heavy vehicle traffic. The ramp opens into a large square chamber with rough walls. A metal track runs along the ground from a passage in the west wall and then turns north, ascending a five-foot ramp and then running along the north wall until the track terminates. A pair of metal lockers stand in the southeast corner, and a heap of ore is piled to the southwest.

I have moved people to the new map

I'm still getting used to some of the new rules. What can we/do we need to do for Osskalessk?

Ru moves to her downed friend and uses a spell to help him regain his vitality.

Mystic Cure 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Healing hp: Either Mystic cure, channel or the healing serum
Healing Stamina: 10min rest + 1 resolve point or an envoy with the stamina recovery spell.

Does anyone want to go a little ahead of the rest of us in the mine? Perhaps someone who would be good at finding traps?

We could have taken a 10 minute rest to allow Osskalessk to regain his SP

Taeon can search for traps, but he's not good at scouting silently.

Taeon steps into the room and sees the lockers. He moves over and begins searching them.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

As the last remaining creature succumbs to his allies efforts, Ceolor loses much of his intensity, instead showing the goofy smile he normally has. He still keeps his 'cape' about him just in case they are attacked again.

At the mouth of the mine he waits for a second to see what everyone else is doing. He sees Taeon moving in and decides he probably should keep the lashunta company in case they are attacked.

_____________
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
physical science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Twich shares her conclusions with the others, but is unable to figure out how to open the lockers.

Engineering: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Taeon wedges open the lockers with a piece of scrap metal. Inside he finds a medkit and an engineering toolkit. He takes the toolkit for himself. "Anyone hurt from earlier?" He offers the medkit out.

Twich shakes her head in response to Taeon's question, and then follows closely behind those leading us into the mine.

If people just move where they go I will post the updates etc on what you see and what happens... if you do anything special, like blowing holes in the scenery, scouting, perception etc, make the roll and I will enlighten you :)

When someone else moves us forward, you have my permission to move Twich with you. She's staying right behind whoever explores first.

engineering: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
engineering lockers: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

0x320 pauses to scan the room before moving forward (red circle) to scan the hallway.

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Apparently the dust is interfering with the scanners and I wasted the 20 above...

Twich moves up with 0x320 and also looks around.

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Osskalesk gets up and bows before Ru.

"Thank you, my friend. I am in your debt."

Ossk picks up his doshko and moves inside the cave, standing at the ready should the group be attacked.

Physical Science: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Taeon glances at the ore as he passes the rubble. "This must be a thasteron mine. There could be lots of hidden niches in here. Keep your wit about you." The Lashunta readies his pulsecaster rifle as he checks the mine cart rails.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Ru takes her spot toward the back of the group and follows the others into the area. "No problem, Ossy. We are in this together."

"Maybe we should move slowly then?" asks 0x320 in response to Taeon.

As in take 20's for perception as we move along?

Ceolor, looks apprehensive as the group starts to blindly move forward into the hallway.

"You know 0x320 is right, we should be careful about moving too fast. These old mines can prove to be dangerous, and prone to collapsing. My mother's third cousin's son died playing around in a place jsut like this... Also we don't know what kind of protections Talbot has set up in case of intruders, and he might be expecting us seeing as there were people hunting us down not moments ago."
Ceolor then moves into the hallway and takes a very good look around, in particular trying to judge the liablity of the place collapsing.

________

Upon entering you see to the right a track leading deeper into the mine, dust covering the tracks of the train tracks, light failing as you look further and further into that tunnel. To the left you see the tracks as well, splitting to the right first and a but further to the left.

Twich looks at the tracks and says, "There's dust here, so no one has been down those tracks recently. Let's move on."

Twich moves on a bit and then looks around again. Let's keep things moving. Can we assume that everyone stays together and looks around from Twich's new postion? Twich will then look around from the green circle, and then from the purple circle. She will either take 10 or take 20, whichever the group agrees to, at each place. If anyone sees any enemies or traps, she will stop searching until they are dealt with.

Sounds good to me. You be the direction caller, Twitch, and we will follow you!

That sounds great, Twich. Feel free to love Ceolor along with you. If you feel the two minutes for every area is too much, then Ceolor will just take a cautious 10

Taeon follows Twitch, exploring the mine. "Hey, there are some more lockers." He points ahead.

Moving up in front of Twich, whispering a memo into his sleeve voice recorder, Ceolor takes a lead position glancing either way into the open caverns. When Taeon points out the lockers, Ceolor nods. "That there are, If you want to take a closer look, I can cover your back. But until I know where Talbot is I don't know if I can settle down."
