Thanks everyone! Lots of hands made the work quick, but we've still got a few boxes to unpack (trying to smash two households' worth of mixing bowls and spices into a single kitchen. XD

Glad to hear it went well. Time to cook some big family meals and use up those spices!
Also new music.
Congrats on the new home, Vek! Did you move far?
No, just further east (still on the metro, but out at the end now).
If no movement is needed to punch something, then we can use the same roll and punch once rather than charging.
Sorry, work is kicking my butt, and this isn't usually a job where my butt is in any position to be kicked.
Sorry to hear that. Let's hope it stops kicking soon. For the right reasons of course! :)
Well my job positions my rear end in prime position for kicking and that's what's been happening lately. Apologies for no update Friday. Two new pictures though!
Sorry the work is rough go, GM! Thanks for the pictures!
What is the enemy clustering like? The Mohgr and its crony are standing together, anyone rude close by? Thinking of launching a grenade at them that's so expensive it could probably put someone's kid through space college so I'm hoping for maximum benefit here.
Ghoul is four metrons from Mohrg, taking cover behind pedestal.
Mohrg is standing at the back in the open to have clear laser shot at everyone through the door. Monk is right next to it. They're only got soft cover so they're pretty much in the open.
Basically one of the pedestals is between ghoul and the other enemies. And I don't know if you want the grenade to damage the contents of the pedestals also lol.
Hmmmm. I want Astrianna to chuck a Temporal Disruption Grenade, but undead are immune to stun "unless the effect specifies it works against undead creatures." They're also immune to fortitude saving throws unless the effect also works on objects. Considering this particular technology works on subatomic movement I feel it SHOULD work on undead and objects but there is nowhere that says as such.
Astrianna doesn't have the right skills to make a theory and she isn't going to ask so maybe I'll just have her do it anyway and we'll find out eh.
I'll be out of town until saturday! Will try to slip in a post, but we'll see.
Have a nice time out of town!
Prospero and Leila to go.
Also I wrote out a system to turn pathfinder 2 character creation into something you can play through. Anyone care to playtest?

Sounds neat! I have only skimmed the 2e rules, though they seem like a large improvement over 1e. I could try it out from the perspective of someone that doesn't know 2e.
I'd be down to playtest as well! Curious about this "playing through character creation" concept. XD
Ohh! That sounds like Traveler! Very neat.
Also! I'm back. And had a nice time, thanks :) But it's hilariously warm over here (for where we are at least)...
Sounds like fun, GM!
I used to be able to handle cold weather, and then I lived in Texas. Now, anything below 70F is pretty chilly. Mad respect to those of you that live in colder climes!
When it's cold, one can put on more clothes. The opposite only works to a certain degree :P
Very true, but I'd posit then when the weather is warm enough that you don't need a coat, you also don't need chapstick, lotion, and all the other stuff that comes with cold weather, and you can exist (or at least I can) without a runny nose too!
I'll take cold weather over hot weather any day!
What about San Diego weather? We get mild summers and mild winters. It is pretty great!
:)
It's been real pleasant here for a few days. Chilly today though.
Should be able to get an update going today and maybe setup a new 'campaign' page for the PF2 character creation system I've come up with.
@GM: sounds interesting - do tell more! (Although I’m not sure if I want to commit to a new game during summer… End of August I’m up to anything)
And yeah, the heatwave is here as well. Problem is, nordic houses are designed to keep the warm in . Works perfectly 90% of the year, but weeks like these are bit of a pain :P
What prospero said yeah. I've seriously been tempted to get an AC just for those darn weeks!
San Diego is pretty close to LA yeah? Same weather along the coastal bits? I visited there once and the temperature in summer wasn't "mild" :p
^Yep, San Diego is south of LA about an 1 hour - 3 hours, depending on notorious SoCal traffic.
Generally speaking, the coast is quite pleasant (daily highs about 19 - 25 C over the course of the year). However, the further east you go, the hotter it gets (generally) and inland basins and even the coast can have microclimates that are hotter or colder than the average.
Then there's the Santa Ana winds - hot, dry winds that come from the inland deserts and significantly raise both the temperature and the fire risk.
Which is all my complicated way of saying that you could have visited a microclimate, or you could have visited when the Santa Anas were coming through, or you could have been east of the coast even a few miles which will raise temperatures significantly. Or you you could be someone who is uncomfortable at 25 C.
I find it pretty great most of the year though! Most nights I can be in a light jacket or sweater, most days in shorts, and if I want snow I can go into the mountains during the winter, and be home to wear my light jacket that same night.
And yeah, the heatwave is here as well. Problem is, nordic houses are designed to keep the warm in . Works perfectly 90% of the year, but weeks like these are bit of a pain :P
Do you mind if I ask where you're at? I had the great pleasure of visiting Helsinki a couple of years back and it was such a lovely city. I went in September, so no heat wave, but the weather wasn't too cold yet, and there were even people swimming in the - I assume public - pool by the harbor!
I thought the city was really smartly designed, had beautiful architecture, and the Finns were a kind people. I'm very jealous of y'all - except the weather ;)
In all seriousness, I hope to get back to Scandinavia some day.
Yeah, it's Helsinki where I live. A nice city in summer and fall :) (in winter a bit too slushy and dark for my taste). Although I might disagree about the smart design whenever I need to move by car :D
I think all the Nordic capitals are very nice and worth visit. Well, can't speak for Reykjavik as I haven't been there yet (but it's on the go-to list)
And welcome back! :) (once Covid is over and done with)
Yes, it sounds odd to hear someone from the land of neatly organized lines to call an european city organized :D
But I guess there's probably things we see in each other that we don't notice ourselves :)
Very busy at work. Hope to get caught up tonight but please bot if needed.
Happy midsummer :)
Happy Midsummer!
May your poles stand straight and bonfires burn bright :)
Happy Midsummer!
Oh, so Cueta's down again! Glad she/I haven't held anything up :)
All part of the plan, yeah, that's it...
Thanks :)
And yes, Cueta's cunning is amazing to see :p
I"m going to wait for Vek to make his stun roll first. If he gets stunned Astrianna can suppress/remove it.
Go for it - the morhg forgot that Vek has two arms as well. XD
Ooff. Will try to get a post up today.
Found the time. Level up! You'll get the new stuff but won't auto heal expended resources!
But... but I already used the see invisibility spellgem ;_;
IT ONLY LASTS 10 MINUTES WHAT HAVE I DONE
Well 9 minutes and 12 seconds and counting I guess!
It's funny cause I thought this room was going to be the command center, and was like "Surely there will be an invisible enemy". Ah well...
Nah, we should probably take a 10 minute rest if Prospero can rig up the door. Hopefully someone can use their level up to get invisibility purge or something.
I'll say Cueta lost two resolve points while down.
Sounds good, GM!
Cueta would indeed like the 10 minute rest to heal and get her stamina back.
Re invisible - Leila got something already! Though it's not very helpful for her. But she can point out the target at least :)
By picking up on subtle clues and hidden traces in your immediate surroundings, you can see things as they really are. As a full action, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to gain the effects of true seeing for 1 round with a range of 60 feet.
For the invisibility issue, Prospero could use his tech tinkerer to craft "Scanner, Motion Detector" if we have some other technological item of at least 7th level.
"Motion detectors have blindsense (vibration) out to 30 feet, but you must take a move action each round to use the sensor."
So far from perfect, but could help.
Uhhh the system wide communication unit on the baddie is lvl 6. Astrianna's Queller and drone are lvl 11 but I think she wants to keep those. Fate of the galaxy is kind of at stake though sooo we'll see
Cueta can swap out a 2nd level spell for see invisibility. It only effects her though.
Considering Cueta can also fly, that would probably be for the best for taking down a big bad spellcaster that's going to have time to prepare.
This last fight is probably going to be nuts. Nothing is more dangerous than a spellcaster that knows they're about to be attacked. I suspect Astriann will be blowing RP constantly removing conditions off of people. I certainly won't be holding back resources.
Then, even if we succeed, we have to get out of the ship. If we're lucky there will be an escape craft on the bridge.
