With the Grave Worm falling still Lancyn unsheathes his sword from the worm and places it back into its scabbard. Lancyn assists Angela in removing the unconscious Wizard from the worms remains. Once free Lancyn chuckles at Angela's statement about the sticky and grime covered Golthwur. "Yes! Indeed he will live to continue his scholarly search for 'unlimited power'."

Following Angela's lead Lancyn begins searching with a detailed meticulous intent. "Wonder what more could be found here in this desolate church?"

Looks like you are correct. ** spoiler omitted **

Yup sounds good to me, was thinking the same

Just got my Flip-Mat this weekend and it looks great! However I noticed there seems to be a door missing, either that or I am blind.

Huzzah! What a wonderful bunch of great authors. Fantastic work all of you.

I cannot wait to run a few of these for my locals. It will be amazing!

Huzzah! Is that Zarta!

Poblanooooooo :D

Good to see you again :)

Thank you Milady. It is a pleasure to see familiar faces and dare I say I believe you have a fancy new name tag (Well At least new to mine eyes) Congratulations on the jump into VO fun.

I'd also ask our regulars to be aware that there may be a higher than usual ratio of new players or new to PbP players finding us and I ask your assistance in welcoming and supporting them.

Although not so regular as many of the others I figure now would be the time to come back into the fold of things and offer what I am able. Weather it be a table to our newly arrived PbP players or just as Numbat has said a "Tally-Ho" and welcome.

I too will be trying my hand at submitting an article or two.

Amethyst sits back as Willow asks her question about her sudden change and replys back with "Well you see I am of a race called Kitsune. Some think of us as tricksters others an ill thought omen. Amethyst shifts back to human form, muzzle melting into a smaller nose, and her fur begins to recede back into flawless olive skin "It is just who I am and that all it should come to these days."

"But if you think that was a nice trick check this out." within moments you see the kitsune begin to shrink and get down on all fours as her body changes further to that of a violet haired fox.

At the reef
The kitsune looks about the area seeing that its likely to take some time to cross the reef. "Well there's no point in waiting for the ship to float by. Mine as well start along the way."
Amethyst begins her walk ever cautiously with a bomb in one hand and an extract in the other.

Alrighty Folks here it is.

If you are interested in joining up for an adventure through the Shattered Star Adventure Path in Core Campaign Mode. Character Level starting at first you can put your name into the proverbial Hat at the link below.

HAT

Drawings will be done on Monday 04/29/2019 around Noon PST.

Congratulations

Miteke and Marisal the Risen

If you do not check in by Tomorrow at 5PM PST/PDT your name will be dropped and we will move to the next round of drawings.

Thanks again.

For those of you interested in a Full run of Season six or Seven please hang tight as I wish to get this campaign underway first and then I will put a signed up/lottery for it soon should my bandwidth allow ;)

Cheers!
~Poblano

Core run of an AP would rule! I’d be terribly interested, especially with GM PP at the helm!

Oh you flatter me good Sir/Maddam/Them.

It has been quite some time so I do hope that I can live up to the reputation once again :D

Looks like the AP in Core Campaign mode it is.

First Spots go to Luke_Parry, Pete H., Gerald and Alton Underbough. I will PM you shortly with the Campaign link.

Although Shattered Star is designed for four players I will allow for two more seats to add some life to the party.

If you are interested in one of the remaining seats keep an eye out on this forum and I will post a lottery/signup list for the spots.

~Poblano

What did you fine folks get?

Everything looks good with mine but I do have a small question as I am now preparing to run this shortly and wonder if we actually accomplish the Goal to earn the following Boon

That is most wonderful an Angel came along with that Room HMM there is wonderful people in the world I look forward to seeing you again to chat jump and giggle and have some fun.

Numbat are you volunteering for Lone Wolf again this year?

Elinnea That might be a good option to start saving now to go to PaizoCon next year. I would love to thank you personally in person for all your work on the BB Code Pregens.

OOo yes valid questions and it was a most enjoyable experience to play along side each of you.

If it is not to much to add to the questions I would like to add one on the technical aspect.

How do you feel about using Google Slides for your maps? Anything you liked or disliked most?
Along with HMM, how might we help clear up uncertainties with the virtual table environment?

Yay! Nomidical!! great to hear that you are gearing up to run.

Numbat you did a wonderful job and really excelled at staying on point with running and checking in at a smooth pace plus the turn around time for your first time GMing from start to finish was great.

I Look forward to playing at another one of your tables in the future.

Greetings all I am back now. Mommy and Baby were released Yesterday and we had our first night at home.

The Newest Quarterling!!
Lilliana Lee Marie Pepper
Happy Daddy Pepper

This little halfling has a quarterling on the way!!! Currently at the hospital, shes been admitted and by this weekend my daughter should be here!

Please bot me if needed. I will try to check in here and there.

>Load: Climbing Protocol
>>Activate Manipulator Arms
>>Rotate: Manipulator Arms: 90 degrees
>>Lock: Artillery Laser
>>Follow: Mardonnnen

B199s follows the lead of his Mechanic while descending the lines.

Getting around to the reporting of things and wanted to say my players did as expected and even surprised me.

They were able to accomplish the unthinkable and diplo rolled their way through the whole thing!

A bit late to the posting but, Hotel and transport confirmed, Volunteer survey submitted!

This ever friendly dwarf will be headed to PaizoCon this year.

Eager to use its new manipulator arms B199s hops about the area and lets out a "All-Six!" recording from his main speaker system then fetches the tools Donny needs.

Aid Donny Take 10: 10 + 3 = 13

>Activate: Lullaby Protocol

*Lullaby Initiated*

B199s secures Marnonnen across the drones body, holding the halfling as if he was a small child.

The Combat Drone, rather awkwardly, carries Mardonnen to his assign sleeping quarters and places Donny into bed tucking him in and those listening care hear the drone singing a halfling lullaby softly, although a bit choppy in its robotic voice.

Having thoroughly worked his little fingers nearly to the bone Donny sits in the buggy barely imputing a few commands into his Custom Rig he then presses the bright green engage button and slumps into the seat.

I squat plucky little halfling comes 4ambling down the causeway yelling at a robot nearly twice his size. "You know were late because of you B199S. If it were for that incident with your laser falling off we would have made the docks an hour ago! Gah! what am I gonna do with ya?".

Exasperated and clearly worried he may have missed the shuttle the halfling goes running forward not paying much attention as he is looking back at the combat 'droid'.

Turning about he come face to hip with the Naur soldier crashing firmly into the solidly build man he hits the floor with a squeak and thud "Owie. Anyone get the call numbers off that "Cargo Lifter" I just ran...." looking up from his phone position the young man starts, "Uh, ooh, umm sorry about that..." staring at the Nuar's faintly glowing hand the halfling bolts up."Hey! You'reaStarfindertoo. Right! Metoolooksee."[/b] excitement gets the better of him as he jumps straight to his feet holding up his hand and activating his insignia so fast it appears to be a strobe.

"NamesMardonnenNeedlefeetpleasuretomeetyou. Areyougoingonthismissiontoo? Haveanyideawhatwearedoing." as he rattles off a few select other questions no one, save for another halfling, could even make a guess at what he says.

Hiya Gary!!

Waves

Seems like we might be in need of a Mechanic then

Player Name/Alias: Gary Pepper
Organized Play number: 43992
Character Number: 703
Character Name: Mardonnen Needlefeet
Race, Class, Level: Halfling, Mechanic, 2
Faction: Manifold Host Charli!
Day job: Professor: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

I will update his profile today

TOZ you are a wonderful person

Reflex save vs. DC 12: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Brushing of the zombie bits that seem to have clung to his fur Xnouq goes about seeing what parts and pieces he may be able to salvage giving a shrug when another member of the crew gives him a funny look "Hey never know when one of these pieces will help."

Making his way down into the deeper recesses of the ship Xnouq looks down the hall way thinking about which way the party may go and Dakoyo mentions a general way to get to all the doors quickly that Xnouq nods and follows along.

Room 1 -- Crew Quarters
Seeing the inside of what could only be a place for crew members to sleep Xnouq remarks "Wow its so roomy in here! I bet all six of us could sleep comfortably without any problems." an idea comes to the little skittermander's mind. "Wait! What if we talk to Nakonechkin about giving us a bigger place like this?!?"

Seeing the lockers as a wonderful puzzle for he and his sister to work on Xnouq points and see that Quonx is already there trying to open the lockers.
"You are very right sister! They are just begging to be opened." Seeing her attempts fal short Xnouq tries his hands at it... all six of them.
Engineering: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
"Gah!!! So close! I can almost feel it wanting to unlock...." Looking dower he begins to walk to the next room.

Room 2 -- Baggage Airlock

Seeing the guests bag and cases Xnouq looks about seeing if anyone will notice and then dives in digging thorugh all the cases looking for what ever he can find eventually he finds nothing more than some fancy clothes... and a brand new cumberundt Wrapped around his head.

Listeining to the taunting of M2, Xnouq has about had enough and blurts out "You got that wrong! You're the one who is going to be finished."
Jumping down from the nice pile of bags and crates Xnouq stomps out of the room following the rest of the group.

Rooms 3 & 4 -- Luxury Passenger Cabins

Xnouq looks distastefully at the beds thinking Who would sleep in these? the Lavish and luxurious beds are much to soft for the Mechanics tastes. Rolling his eyes at the AI's mental scrubbing that it is attempting "I'd Rather sleep atop the Stardrive then in those sorry excuses for a bed!"

Looking to the vents Xnouq tries to seal them before the gas fills the entire cabin.

Engineering: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

In my personal experience, very recently I might add, that you may also wish to account for a little wiggle room in your bandwidth for real life events that may destabilize your PbP games; both player and GM.

Also seconding, because I admit I am bad at it, that always ask for help if you feel you may need it. Even if it is a brief day or two hiatus so you can recollect yourself.

Greetings Starfinders we have an already assembled team in need of two more members to help flesh out a run of Into the Unknown the repeatable/evergreen quest series for Level 1 Characters.

If you are interested we have three more parts to complete, (Boarding, Salvage and Lawblight) but with permission from our amazing Venture-Captain HMM. Any who help complete the remaining three quests to the end will be given complete credit for this run.

If you interested please drop a line in the Discussion Tab located Here.

This is First Come first served for the first two who are able to appear and state they are ready to complete the remaining three quests.

Thank you all

GM Poblano

Alright folks we found our two. Thanks for offering up your assistance.

GM Poblano

Thank you HMM I will put out a recruitment post to gather some intrepid players.

And to confirm it looks like we have a a GM and three players for the remaining three missions. I will recruit at least one more player but will see if I can get two more.

Why won't this ship give up!!? Morroda exclaims while he lines up another shot with the turret.

While the rest of the party is healing Xnouq stands in the hall way mumbling about Quantum Theories, "What are the chances any of the three doors could open into a parallel universe? What if the door on the right lead to a giant bowl of soup? The door straight ahead, could it lead to the missing connection between Skittermanders and Vesk? And the last door there what are the chances its not even a real door?" this is all followed by a rambling jumble of equations that even Xnouq doesn't really seem to understand.

I'd say let us go Left.

I could Round out the table if you are still are needing players at that time.

Things have finally gotten close to normal again.

Its kind of Fitting through for the Scoured Stars incident for this to happen. Really gives an immersion factor for the players to know what it was like for the stranded Starfinders.

Xnouq pushes Quonx off the Computer Terminal, "Sister this is how its done." Muttering the same incantations as Quonx, but backwards the pink hair Skittermander punches a few buttons on the terminal smiling all the way.

Computers: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Smiling as he presses the final key strokes Xnouq sticks his tongue out at his brood mate.

"You see you missed a few things like. The Emerald Empyrean is a modified heavy freighter with a forward-facing heavy weapon and a small turret weapon, but plenty of room for Nufriends and fun things. The engines are on but they are quiet, oh and, and the ship has enough gravity, lighting, and... oh yeah and life support." Looking over the mo nitor again the smug little furball says "There are dozenNufriends on the ship, how did Nakonechkin miss them? They are all in the ship's aft... on the starboard side. Nakonechkin's ALIVE! but... he is semi-conscious and I do not know where he is. There is also something weird at the ship's center. Hmm...." pressing a few more keys and spinning in the chair Xnouq reads further. "Strange... very strange the Emerald Empyrean's functions are controlled by artificial intelligence.... It isn'e responding to my hails. Kinda odd for a ship this size to have an AI controlling it. I Need to check this out first hand.... and save Nakonechkin." He rolls his eyes at the last statement.

I am here, National Disaster and all :) fitting for a skittermander

"Any thing you need done I'm ready to give Allsix!"

Xnouq looks over at Quonx and says "Wait! When did you get here. I thought I was suppose to go this time." shrugging his whole body Xnouq says "Well if you and I fix things we can AllTwelve it!"

Thank you all for the positive thoughts and feels.

We were able to return to our home as anticipated and it has been a wild ride the whole time since I returned. I work for the Social Services Department and it has been hectic with all the displaced families Most of my county is still under Mandatory evacuation but they are slowly letting families back in.

By now you may have heard on the news the Fire, Mendocino Complex, is now the largest Wildfire ever in California spanning more than 300,000 acres and they don't expect to have any containment until after the 1st.

Hope everyone else is doing fine.

I am cross posting on all of my threads even those currently on hold and pending.

If you happen to be following the news my Home county in California is on fire at this moment and I am in an advisory evacuation location.

Not only this but I am also a County Employee and am being pulled into emergency services and response.

Please Bot me as necessary at this time; I am unsure when I will be able to return. My apologies in advanced and thank you all for understanding.

No worries at all Elinnea. All is good you have been doing an amazing job running us through this scenario and it's a breathe of fresh air for me as I usually am the one who runs more often then plays.

Here goes nothing
Will save vs Dahak's sweet embrace: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Not paying much attention past the fiery explosion he just caused a moment ago enveloping the Golden Goblin, Athrax smiles clapping his hands as the wave of energy washes over the group taking the now bronzelooking goblin down.

As the last bit of negative energy crackles along his body you can see a visible fire building in the kobold bombers eyes. Crazily he looks about for his next intended victim.

Tier 3-4: GM Poblano Pepper

Balthazar standing at the ready points his dueling sword at the Native in Golden rod clothes, giving a slight wink to Batelf and Alfred, and yells at the native in an attempt to Demoralize him

♫ Once more we sail with the Northerly gale towards our treasures show,
Our Starships sprung our whaling done and we ain't got far to go.
Our Ratatat's boom is carried away, what care we have for him,
A living gale is after us, thank Desna lets all Get'em. ♫
Intimidate w/Voice Amplifier to Demoralize: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 23

Standard to Demoralize and Move to use Get'em Everyone gets +1 to attack. All rolled up into a nice song ;)

Athrax having spent most of his time following along hacking a coughing and in an under daze over the whole events that have transpired. Was I seeing things again? I mean those checmicals that one time in my lab did give me funny thoughts. Ahtraz recalling his days of sitting in a not so venitlated lab he laughs loudly I mean Vanrog did look funny with the pink scales with the purple polka dots. "HAHaha... Hack.. Cough.. Wheez..."

Having laughed to hard Athrax doubles over as if in imense pain grabbing his chest. It feels like I am caught in another cave in again. pulling a small jar from his side he shakes it vigoursly and uncorcking the end he breathes in some of the fumes and sits down plainly in the center of the room.

Having caught his breath again he speaks "Whew that was crazy. I agree Sparklegrim does sound close to where me might find some Softscales. Though they are not True Dragons such as ourselves."

Athrax quiclly makes a cocpy of the list present by Talben and when no one is looking quickly pulls the honey pot from the plate "That might be good for something later." and also grabs as many cookies as will fit into his mouth.

"Weadwe wen oou ar." cookie bits falling form his mouth.

Sorry for the brief hiatious everyone. Between No internet for 5 days and Bronchitus that reared its ugly head I am back and am able to continue truding along.

Between Bronchitus and No internet since Thursday i have been rather bored. Now comes the catch up

Poblano's Words of Wisdom.
We are all here for fun and mutual Enjoyment of a common hobby. My intention as your GM/storyteller is to ensure everyone has a chance to enjoy how they wish to play while also creating moments and memories together.

I am posting this across all my tables so sorry to those of you reading this for the second or third time.

I will be away and without internet starting Tomorrow though Monday. If you need to bot me there is a BotMe! Spoiler in my profile.

Have fun and see all of you Monday.

Prime example of keeping communication of life events. While also a true statement for me

That's almost there, "Captain Anticipation. However the actual words were:

"Holy hemorrhaging, Bat Friends!" shouts Bat Elf. "There's a person in peril! We must snap into action!"

I must be your plucky sidekick now huh ;)
