Starfinder: Dead Suns

Game Master GM-Gathrix

Initiative
Zetara: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Scera: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Ehron: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Kov'i: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Ferani: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Lulu: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Rio: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Vrokilayo: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

I assume there are lots of people in the club, difficult terrain to move around? Are they freaking and running?

The Club patrons seem only amused. Most of them are probably on a wanted list somewhere in the galaxy. "A wretched hive of scum and villainy" They might show a bit of surprise when someone is shot next to them, but will continue to party as if it was par for the course. Between you and Vrokilaya there is no difficult terrain, the patrons know better than to mess with those doors. Kov'i is right next to Lulu and Rio so no difficulty there, but beyond that yes. Behind Scera is a lot of patrons also if she decides to disengage will be difficult terrain.

Looking down at the vesk before him, but who probably outweighs him, Ehron makes a small calming gesture. "I'm sure there is a mistake here. I know you are doing a job, but can we calm things down a little. What are you after, I'm sure arrangements can be made."

Bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Zetara keeps trying to wriggle out of the ropes.

Dex check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Duanimon backs up the files on a cloud service. "We should get to this Fusion Queen as fast as possible. I admit to a lack of experience in these sort of matters, but it sounds like Zetara could be in trouble." They pick up their pace to a jog, on the lookout for any public transportation which could get them to the Queen faster.

Round One
Ferani 22 Moves through kitchen
Vrokilayo 20+ Delay
Ehron 20 Ehron confuses Vrokilayo for a moment and he calls in to clarify orders
Lulu 16 Draws a small arm and points it at Kov'i
Rio 13 Draws two knives and stands next to Lulu ready to fight
Kov'i 8
Scera 5
Zetara 4 Zetara frees herself from the ropes and is able to stand

Garland nods and quickly looks around for the best route to take, walking or otherwise, to get them there as fast as possible. Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Culture: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

-Posted with Wayfinder

As no fighting had begun yet Scera decided that her best choice, for now, was to do exactly as the bartender ordered. She kept her hands flat on the bar and otherwise made herself as non-threatening as she could.

Zetara looks around quickly to see if there is anything here that 1. She can use as a weapon, 2. To see if her missing kits are here so she can get them back, and 3. Anything else that looks interesting or valuable

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Not a great roll, but perhaps any obvious things? :)

She then studies the monitors to figure out how to get out of this place, since she was drugged when she came in.

As Lulu and Rio draw on Kov'i, he just started laughing and said"Aren't you brave."

Garland and Duanimon find the fastest route to the Fusion Queen, but that still puts them 20mins out. So you will be missing this combat

Round One
Ferani 22 Moves through kitchen
Vrokilayo 20+ Delay-Responds to Ehrons bluff "Confirm, the Sarcesian, Vesk, and Lashunta are viable targets."
Ehron 20 Ehron confuses Vrokilayo for a moment and he calls in to clarify orders
Lulu 16 Draws a small arm and points it at Kov'i
Rio 13 Draws two knives and stands next to Lulu ready to fight
Kov'i 8 Laughs at Lulu and Rio
Scera 5 Surrenders to the bartender Just realized I didn't roll for the bartender's initiative. I will put him last
Zetara 4 Zetara frees herself from the ropes and is able to stand
Bartender Uses binders on Scera handcuffing her hands in front of her and to the bar itself.

Round Two

Ferani 22 Stops to call Vrokilayo back "YES THEY ARE VIABLE TARGETS! STOP F#$%ING AROUND!"
Vrokilayo 20 "Place your hands on your head and turn around facing the doors!" The vesk tells Ehron with some authority.

Bartender 3

Scera wanted to resist when the binders were attached, she didn't want to be enslaved again but she felt better that than death, the bartender pulled her arms towards him more when he cuffed her and then even further forward so he could attach them to the bar on his side. This left Scera in a very awkward and vulnerable position and the bartender a rather nice view of her assets from the front and everyone else a view of those from behind as it forced her up onto her toes as she was stretched forward partway over the bar.

Zetara grabs her stuff and the grenades, and opens the door to Ferani's office.

Does she know the layout of the place from watching the monitors, or where Ferani went, or where her friends are, or does she need to play it by ear?

Holding his hands out, raised by his side in response to the vesk's orders Ehron responds while turning. "Hey, I know where my money isn't good, I'll be leaving now all peaceable like before we ruin the atmosphere of this nice establishment." He further attempts to discombobulate the guard while proceeding to where his gear was left at the entrance.

Bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Ferani 22 Stops to call Vrokilayo back "YES THEY ARE VIABLE TARGETS! STOP F#$%ING AROUND!" Vrokilayo 20 "Place your hands on your head and turn around facing the doors!" The vesk tells Ehron with some authority.
"Ehron" 20 Intimidate from Ferani: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 Vrokilayo is more frightened of his supervisor than to go against her wishes and firmly says "Move and I will shot you dead spacer! Just turn around hands on your head or you get to taste my Azimuth Artillery Laser and believe me, I really want to use it. " Vrokilayo's Intimidate vs Ehron: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21 Ehron is shaken
Lulu 16 "Bravery's got nothing to do with this Vesk, just business." Delay until Ferani gives further orders or is attacked
Rio 13 "Just turn around and let us handcuff you like your friend did. Ferani just wants to talk to you." Delay same conditions as Lulu

Scera 5
Zetara 4 Finds her equipment on the desk and two grenades. 1 frag grenade I, and one incendiary grenade II Yes, you know that if you go through the kitchen you will reach your friends, this is the same direction Ferani went.
Bartender 3
*Edit- Got a different value for intimidate before when previewed, probably changed because I repositioned it in the format. I will adjust the scenario to fit the new value in the spirit of keeping things on the up and up and because you are in a bad spot

*Edit"Ehron" 20 <"What's that? you are breaking up>" Vrokilayo asks talking into his radio. "Fine, you can leave peacefully, and don't come back Spacer!" Vrokilayo says trying to save some face embarrassed about the awkward situation.
Everything else stays from previous round two break down

Scera was worried at the position she had been put in and the lack of anything seeming to happen. She could only hope that the others figured something out as she looked at the bartender in worry as best she could. She wasn't sure what more she could do at the moment but wait and hope this ended better than she expected.

Zetara heads through the kitchen to find her friends.

"Fine then." as Kov'i began his initiative, the light level in the nearby area seemed to raise slightly; not enough to be harsh, but it definitely made things easier to see. As this was going on, a mote of darkness rose out of one of his hip pouches and entered his armor, diffusing it into darkness of the blackest night.

finally armored thusly, Kov'i will reach out and grab one of the knives from Rio. Which will provoke.

Ferani 22 Stops to call Vrokilayo back "YES THEY ARE VIABLE TARGETS! STOP F#$%ING AROUND!" Vrokilayo 20 "Place your hands on your head and turn around facing the doors!" The vesk tells Ehron with some authority.

Kov'i 8 Please make your own rolls for stuff takes a lot of time to look all this upDisarm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Kov'i tries to disarm Rio and fails. AoO: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 Rio tries to scratch Kov'i but misses.
Scera 5 Waiting it out
Zetara 4 Finds her equipment on the desk and two grenades. 1 frag grenade I, and one incendiary grenade II Yes, you know that if you go through the kitchen you will reach your friends, this is the same direction Ferani went.
Bartender 3 Runs towards Ehron, probably to get back up from the back room through the double doors.
I will add that to your next round Zetara, for now you got your things and some grenades.

Round Three

Ferani 22 Tries to get her radio to work Engineering: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 "I SAID STOP F@#$%ING AROUND! GET THEM!

Okay, thanks.

There is no firing into melee penalty in Starfinder but there is cover. Ehron got crit btw, Nat 20, another 1d10 damage and 1d6 burning at the start of Enron’s turn. Did he get the equipment held at the door last round? Assuming he isn’t unconscious of course.

Scera heard the order to fire again and the guard accept it this time, she heard the weapon discharge, and she somehow knew that it had hit it's mark. It was happening to her again, the people she was coming to care about were dying again and she was powerless to stop it. She started to cry as she felt the fear at what she now knew was to come wash over her.

Ehron20 Apologies was in a hurry before. Due to the circumstance we will say the crit goes through a plate of food before it hits you reducing the impact significantly(negating the extra damage) You are showered with food and behind Rio and Lulu that are engaged with Kov'i so they are distracted. You can move 10' to collect your things while they are distracted.

Scera 5 Charisma: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21 a Kasathas at the end of the bar looks at Scera and the situation, and has decided he has had enough. The Kasathas is wearing a scarf over the bottom of his face covering his mouth. "Don't cry darlin'. Now that I have finished my drink I believe I can be of assistance." Engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 He removes your hand cuffs. "How about me and you get out of here" said with a wink.
Zetara 4 Moves to the Kitchen and across the room about 35' away is Ferani on a comm unit close to a set of double doors leading out to the club.
Bartender 3 The bartender bursts into the kitchen and sees Ferani "BOSS! We need you out there!"

Heading back for his gear, Ehron hears the orders come through despite his convincing the heavily armed vesk. Side stepping to place a display with a huge bowl of jello between them doesn't save Ehron from the lance of light, but the puff of steam from the bowl being converted to vapor seemed to have helped. Never the less he sags in pain as the laser still sears a large portion of one shoulder. With a grimace of pain he takes the last to distance eating strides and plucks his weapons from a huge distance. His long and thin arms going past the door staff to return him to an armed state.

Hoping the crowd will give him some cover he turns to assess the situation this has turned so quickly. "Kov'i, why not use those heavy vesk claws of yours? I don't think we can go for finesse here anymore." he calls to his friend.

Ferani 22 Ferani turns to see Zetara "So I guess I didn't hit you hard enough!" Charge vs Zetara: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Ferani charges Zetara, but hits a kitchen worker instead in a fit of rage.
Vrokilayo 20 Curses and sets his weapon to stun this time since he is firing into a crowd of club patrons. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 Nonlethal damage to Ehron

Barely reclaiming pistol and knife from the security station, Ehron turns only to be hit with a second blast from the large laser canon. His nervous system shorting out, he collapses down into crowd with a spasm.

With a quiet groan he regains consciousness reaching for a serum at his belt and quietly drinking it while remaining prone amongst the cover of the crowd.

Spending 1 RP to become conscious with 1 hp, then drinking healing serum I for1d8 ⇒ 4

Scera was shocked that the Kasatha would risk himself to free her, of course she knew what he wanted of her and it gave her an idea on how to get the others out of here alive. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and said, "Please, help me save my friends and I'll reward you once we're safely away from here." Her tone of voice and hand on her chest gave ample evidence of the reward she promised, one she'd follow through with too, as she moved and began to head towards Eron.

I take it I can't reach Ehron and heal him this turn?

Zetara casts Overheat, gathering all the heat in the area and launching it in a 15 foot cone at Ferani and anyone else in the area (she moves forward to get in range if Ferani's charge didn't bring her within range of the spell). She aims to avoid hitting kitchen staff if possible, but the main idea is to burn Ferani.

Overheat damage: 2d8 ⇒ (3, 8) = 11

Reflex save for half damage, but I am not sure how to do DCs in Starfinder. In Pathfinder the DC would be 15 (10 + ability mod + spell level)--same?

The Kasathas approaches Rio and Lulu with his four hands fingering the handles of 4 very large looking pistols on his bandolier."These folks are with me, leave 'em be."

Zetara 4 Casts Overheat Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 Ferani ducks under just in time, but still take some damage. "You F$%*ng B^*(! You will pay for that!"
Bartender 3 The bartender decides this fight isn't for him and runs out with the kitchen staff as the fire alarm begins to blare.

Round 5 There is a fire alarm going off and people are running out of the building now. There is sprinklers going off from the ceiling. Everywhere is difficult terrain except for the kitchen where Zetara and Ferani are fighting.

It lists the DC for Phrenic spells in the rulebook as the same as Pathfinder (which would make it 15), but for regular spells it might be the "key ability" DC instead, which says "the saving throw DC for foes to resist your class features (if appropriate) is equal to 10 + half your class level + your key ability score modifier." On that even if we round down for level, the DC would still be 14, because Intelligence is the Key score for a technomancer, and my mod is 4. I really don't know which one it is, but I think either way you figure it, Ferani should take full damage.

With care to protect his long, slim limbs from the stampeding crowd, Ehron stands up again. Looking down again upon the angry vesk approaching and keeping a confident grin. "Oh, look a riot and a fire. I'm sure station security will be real soon. Bribes only cover so much. Maybe you should be going to make sure the security logs don't contain coverage of you using military ordinance on unarmed patrons?" He projects towards the vesk with a friendly confidence and undertone of expectation.

Bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Yeah she takes full damage, I actually just read that wrong, I was reading the 27 from the intimidate above.

Making her way over to Ehron Scera focused and drew on the power she was connected with. She pulled on her empathic connection and pulled healing energy into herself and then pushing it out into Ehron as she took in his pain with a gasp. "That should make you better."
mystic cure: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Thanks, after flubbing that last bluff I think I'm about to need it.

I'm back now guys.

Glad to have you back. We need you. :)

Crit Damage if Appropriate: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Edit:

Oh, crap. I was typing at the same time Kov'i posted. Didn't know he was coming into the kitchen. If I can change my action, she casts energy ray instead (still taking the guarded step), so she doesn't kill Kov'i:

Energy Ray: 1d3 ⇒ 2 <--she chooses acid damage

I left the other action in the spoiler in case the ruling is still to use it.

It does have a 5' step, but it takes a move action to do. It's called a guarded step.

Thanks. Good to know. :)
