Sorry guys, I've been I'll, and trying to catch up with work now.
Astri will keep applying get 'em and continue to suppress Vek's staggered condition until it wears off.
We have 2 attack rolls above 10 this page (one is an 11). It's official, someone jinxed our dice!
My spouse got seated on a jury so I'm doing child care and trying to hit a couple of deadlines at work, without having the time to do it. Posting may be spotty into early next week.
Was busy today, will bot monday if Prospero doesn't post an action! Have a great weekend people!
Prospero did act this round, I believe. At least I think the enemy hasn't acted after that.
Note to self: copy Astrianna, and put the round number in the post.
My bad. got confused.
Hope the fight isn't boring you guys...
Just mildly discouraged by our cursed dice :P
But that seems to be somewhat fixed now :D
I don't know how, but for some reason I never saw your post, GM. I thought everyone was responding to the previous round that Ihad already taken my action on, like an idiot.
It's all good. Post when you can and then I'll resolve.
FYI, so there's less guesswork, AC stats on dude is EAC 29, KAC 30, so flatfooted is EAC 27, KAC 28.
So yeah it's pretty high but you guys should be able to hit. Just have to roll *high* rather than *mediocre*.
There's also the harrying fire option *cough cough*
I'm quite enjoying this fight.
*Sees AC, whistles.* Is aid a thing in Starfinder? I don't know that Cueta's medium BAB is going to punch through that AC. Maybe my best course of attack is to aid Vek each round, and hope that the blindness sticks at some point?
Otherwise, I can back off and magic missle, but that is paltry damage at this high a level (~10/round).
Astri is keeping Vek from being Staggered, or otherwise she could do harrying fire.
Cueta could back off and do the harrying fire.
Pro: Cueta's not likely to hit in melee
Con: Blindness rider from her starlight form won't be an option.
Does harrying fire have to be fire or is harrying stab an option?
Leila probably wants to continue to try and trick attack since it debuffs ac but I'll look into other options as well.
Oh flanking might be worth a thought too. Not sure if we are doing that or not. Leila can trick attack while flanking/stabbing
I think there is no harrying stab as there's flank for that.
Xavra has his back to a bookshelf and Ceuta and Vek have already taken the flanking positions available.
So maybe Cueta backs off to harry fire, and Leila flanks with Vek?
I don’t know that we want Leila that close to this guy - he hits hard.
For harrying fire, what about Prospero?
Looks like aid is only an action for skills, so that's out.
Prospero has a +14 to hit, so after get em' he's got about a 30% chance to hit. Cueta has about a 15% chance (not sure how the 2d10 roll factors into probability, but it probably effects us in some way).
The guy does hit hard. Cueta's got about two more rounds in her. She's OK staying though.
Basically 1d20 is swingy but gives Cueta a 20% chance to hit (17 needed if Xavra is flatfooted), 2d10 makes the middle of the road rolls much more likely and high and low rolls less likely. So only 10% chance of hitting 17 or higher with the 2d10. Slightly compensated by having a 6% chance to crit rather than 5.
So looking at Starfinder math, 2d10 seems to be really great for reliably hitting regular enemies but makes it harder to hit high AC enemies like bosses.
How much longer on Vek's slow debuff?
#Forever... X-D
10 rounds total.
Are you kidding me?!
Well I know what Astri is doing for the next 8 rounds.
Frag this guy she's got shit to do!
Hmm, so EAC is only one lower, and this guy seems to have some resistances. Maybe better to target KAC?
Prospero can offer harrying fire, if that would seem useful. I think that +2 goes to just one ally? Who's the best bet for one-hit damage? Leila? Vek?
Does Cueta's spells offer any help? Or maybe some ways to deal damage without targeting AC?
Leila does do decent single attack damage - but it's only one roll and swingy. As seen now :P
Cueta has remove condition, but as I look at it, I'm not sure it affects slow. It does effect staggered, so it could help Vek?
Downside is that he could be blinded for a round, but that is better than being slowed for the rest of the fight.
Cueta also has mind thrust and suggestion. Both will saves.
Doesn't Vek have a haste circuit? That counters slow.
Oh yeah! Power of those haste circuits!
Haven’t installed them yet - not enough upgrade slots for the circuit, the force field, and the jetpack. X-D
Prospero and Astrianna to go!
Sorry. Astri will keep using Get 'em and Don't quit to supress Vek's slow.
Noted. Take it easy Astri!
You can use your standard for something else this round, Astrianna. Being able to charge as a standard rather than full-round action does have its benefits sometimes.
Will attempt to bot soon.
Hey guys, thinking of all of you and hoping you guys are safe and healthy in these scary times. Watch out for yourselves and others, wash your hands, and hunker down for a while.
If the game gives you a break then I'd love to keep running it for you, but if it's not a good time for whatever reason then that's perfectly understandable as well. You guys are all awesome.
Ditto! Let's hope this passes without too many issues. And best wishes to your elderly or sick as well. Take care :)

If you have time and energy I'd love to be able to check in and poke it a bit. Might be a little spotty - but I don't really have any reasons to truly worry yet.
Thinking of you all as well. Please stay safe and self-quarantine.
Here at the university I work at in Southern California, we've moved all instruction online, and I've been prepping things to get all of my staff working remotely ASAP. It has made some long days and this week will be rough, so I may be spotty with posting.
Oops, should have given Cueta some stamina.
When we get to a place where we can spend some cash Cueta is getting some new armor and a forcefield, she goes down like, every combat.
All fine so far. The government just announced that they are closing all schools. So for the next month me, my wife, and two kids are trying to remotely work/study in a two-bedroom apartment.
I estimate I start getting edgy at some point :)
Apologies all - we just closed our Library, and as a member of our Library Leadership Team, I've got a lot to get figured out in the next few days.
I'll be back ASAP.
Stay safe and as stress free as possible Cueta.
Also congratulations to all of you. Book 4 is at an end and you guys get to level up again!

I'll try to get Leila leveled up over the weekend. Pardon my slowness :)
Re: Pew pew pistol - Leila could use it but, just going by pathfinder experience and my gut feeling, the sonic pistol she has right now is probably better for her just because Sonic is much less likely to be resisted and 90% of her damage is trick attack anyhow :)
Hey guys, my next two days are pretty busy. Have to prep the next book anyway. So you guys are going to be headed straight to the Twelve Stars?
