Just wanted to check in.. Ship combat is over. Everyone still there?
Yep! I think we just might not be sure of our options when you ask "Where to?" To the station? Somewhere else in the system? Into the Drift? Is the ship fit for travel? Reporting back to the station and Starfinder HQ seems the logical choice.
Yeah. I guess I assumed you would all head back to the station. I was just giving you all a choice.. when the choice really should just be to head back.. Also wanted to give you all a chance to RP after the fight before throwing you al back into a "cut scene" going back to the station.
Next time I have a bit of time I will just throw you into it again. Just wanted to make sure I didn't lose everyone!
I'm here. We still need to drop off Clara first, right? Wasn't the plan to rendezvous with some ship before we head back to Absalom?
Still here... limp too the station
Could Sybil push? She has a 15 ft fly speed... Joking of curse. That would take forever.
Yon/Dee fix the engines enough to limp us home.... See how things play out when we get home maybe someone will offer to fix the ship up.
Re Clara... we can "drop" her off pretty much anywhere close to the ring of other ships about the station... since she is an android.
And she has jump jets. Should would be fine.. I am going to just write it up.
All sounds good to me. Apologies for lack of posting, will work to get back into regularity.
Will get to it tonight.
No worries. Starship combat is fun, but it does slow down the RP and the push to keep going I think. I have mixed feelings about it in PbP games.
We are back in the mix though :)
This week is extremely busy for me. Please bot me as needed, thanks!
Apologies, I am slammed at work and have house guests. Please bot me as needed this week.
No worries. I have been a bit slammed too. Sorry you will miss some RP. I hope to move everyone forward soon!
Sorry I've been short in my replies, I've been super sick these past couple of days.

This is a good time for the crew to review the loot doc (linked in my tagline and in our super-spiffy website), note any glaring errors, and claim any items you'd like to keep.
I'd like the arc and freebooter armor if that's cool with everyone
Side Note: Maybe we should visit the Starfinders first before we buy stuff to see what they need us to do next?

I don't really have any requests for gear at this time. If there's stuff any of think Tylur should wield or carry, just let me know.

I endorse this plan of action! :)
Sorry for the AWOL: Currently dealing with family issues. Emotional stuff. Will try to be more active, but if not please know I will be going through this for the next several weeks.
Understandable. No worries right now. Take care of yourself and all the family stuff.
You might miss some RP stuff, I might bot you for awhile, as needed. Take care.
GM, would there be a problem if Zam's alma mater were also the Qabarat University of Xenoarchaeology and Xenoanthropology? According to her backstory she's a recent graduate of a university in Qabarat, and she has the Xenoseeker theme. If so, we can fabricate some other university, but it just seems like a good fit?
Also, Padlet updated with info on Halkueen Zan. Not to be confused with Zam. Both linked to Castrovel, haha.
Yeah! That would fit very well. I will make sure to include things you would already know when I can post a proper post again.
I think we're selling everything that hasn't been claimed on the loot sheet, right?
I believe so. We're all 3rd level now, so we need to think about upgrading our gear before we get in over our heads with more powerful adversaries down the road. That'll be what Tylur focuses on with his share of the money. I'd like to a get a better one-handed melee weapon and a handgun upgrade, if possible. He's meant to be a two-weapon wielder...gun and blade.
I'm in DC on vacation until Thursday so I may be on and off...
I'm having an extremely busy work week and am having trouble finding a chance to sit down and post. Please bot me as needed, thank you!
FYI, I'm headed to the beach today for a family vacation. I may have access to WiFi while we're there, so I should be able to follow along and participate. If not, I'll be back Sunday evening.

Enjoy the sand and the sun!
Hey hey everyone! I should be back for the most part. Last many weeks have been trying at times, but one day at a time and things will get better.
That said, with 1100 cr, it is not much to get an real upgrades for Sybil. Not sure how much we have made from selling anything?
What's the split? I honestly don't recall how much we have to spend. So, in terms of shopping, I'm not sure what Tylur can afford.
I am not sure what you all ended up with, but Zam was keeping track
Everything is not added up yet. The Liquidated Value / Destination column needs to be filled out, then the Credits each should be accurate.
I added the values to the Liquidation Value column for everything that is obvious to sell. That puts everyone at 1573 credits each I think.
MIght want to wait for Zam to give the final number.
Either way you should all look on the sheet for any item you want to keep. Now would be as good a time as any to clean that up. Zam come back to us! :)
I'll try to determine the value of all the gear today. How should I value partially-used resources, like the 12/20 tactical arc emitter? Multiply its value by .6? If that's the case, that's 750 x 0.6 = 450.
Our take will be lower than 1,573, as the "Liquidated Value" column is what we get by selling it (only 10% of value), and I see some boxes currently have 100% liquidated value.
Charges in weapons are not really part of the cost value. So you can ignore that.
If something truly only has uses and not charges to be recharged with battery then yeah, multiply by % available. Though I don’t think you have any like that.
The noqual is all 100% value, not 10%. And the cred sticks, since that is already money.
Just the gear should be less. Hopefully that answers the questions.
Okay it's pretty much done. Right now our individual dividend is 1,725. But there are a couple things I couldn't find values for. Any help there would be appreciated.
disruptive fusion seal.
spell ampoule of lesser restoration
The disruptive fusion seal has already been applied to the assault hammer Tylur took from the vesk enforcer for the Downside Kings. Since it's got value vs. undead, I'd like to hang onto it for now. It seems possible we could cross paths with more Eoxians in the future, so it could come in handy...and, it can be reapplied to other melee weapons. Tylur is meant to be a sword-and-gun two-weapon fighter, so he'll always have a melee weapon in hand.
spell ampoule of lesser restoration
As far as I can tell its worth 300 credits.
Okay, that brings the individual dividend to 1,737! I'll leave the info on the sheet for a few days before deleting it for further adventures. Please add any items claimed to your personal inventories.
Before people go buy stuff. I just want to post meta comments.
Items that are marked to sell, but might be worth keeping:
Clear Spindle Aeon Stone
Jump Jets
Brown Force Field (you can take it out of the estex suit).
Spell amps of lesser restoration.
You all can do whatever you want with the items, but some of these might be worth keeping vs selling for 10%\

Looks like Dee and Yon have not checked in...
Thoughts on what to do? I feel like this game has stalled, but I am really loving Starfinder and this AP. I don't want to just drop it.
I can DM them both, but I worry we have lost interest.
I'm still around and I'm comfortable with you handling it however you wish as I'd still like to continue.
I agree with Tylur. If any players have indeed lost interest, the transition from Book 1 to Book 2 might give us an opportunity to introduce new players? I haven't read any of the AP so I'm not sure...
Yeah this time would be perfect to do it. I have PMed each of them. Sybil is the most recently active and likely still around, bit worried about Dee and Yon though. I am going to give them a few days to reply or post. If by Wednesday I might post a replacement thread.
Hopefully they come back though :)
I had a similar disappearance by another player in a game I'm running. Turned out, the long break had caused the site to no longer show notifications that there were new posts in the thread, so he thought we were on hiatus. Once I PM'ed him, he jumped back in. Hopefully something similar has Dee and Yon held up.
Yeah I am still have interest in the game for sure. Was just trying to get through a few things with the character... but ready to rock.
No reply from Dee or Yon yet. I am thinking we should open it up to get at least 1 more person.
I have a few great players in other games I think would be a good addition, if a bit verbose in their posting. If there are no issues I might throw it out to that player, then move on from there.
Thoughts?
That's fine with me!
Say, has anyone spent their money yet? No one's replied to the GM's suggestions regarding loot. All the info is still up on the loot sheet, so it's easy to make adjustments. For instance, I was thinking I'd like to buy a static arc pistol, only to notice that one is unclaimed on the sheet!
Claim the arc pistol for yourself then, Zam. I think Sybil picked it up at one point during the Drift Rock battles, but it didn't come into play very often, because there was a close quarters fight and it might've caught some of the rest of us in addition to the enemy.
As for the rest of the sheet, I reviewed it and some of the items still on there kind of surprised me. For instance, didn't Clara reclaim some of the gear we took from her (e.g., the jump jets, tactical shirren-eye rifle, etc.)? I'm not sure all that stuff is legitimately still available to us. But, assuming it is, I think Yon or Dee had their eyes on some of that stuff. That's why I've been reluctant to lay claim to anything until they decide...but if they're not going to remain in the game, more stuff is available.
Tylur did claim the assault hammer and disruptive fusion seal...which can only be applied to a blunt melee weapon, so it made sense. But, long-term the hammer isn't something Tylur will continue to use. I intend for him to purchase a sword somewhere on Castrovel or previously on Absalom Station. I was just waiting to determine his exact funds to know what I could afford.
Given that Nex is suggesting we retain some of the unclaimed gear, I suppose we definitely should hold off on selling it. Tylur's armor can't accommodate the jump jets or the force field unless I switch him to something different...which I can't afford. The spell amps of lesser restoration can be divvied up among everyone (depending on how many we have). And the clear spindle aeon stone should be assigned to someone to be passed around between us as necessary. And, I assume anything labeled "Group" on the loot sheet is something we're keeping (i.e., the azimuth artillery laser definitely needs to be kept around).
It's entirely possible that some items shouldn't be there. My inability to attend to PbP at times in the past months has meant that I haven't been able to pay much attention to the loot document. I'm sorry for that. GM, can you confirm what items of Clara's remain on the doc and should be deleted?
Though, now's a good time to remind us that the loot doc is editable by any of us, and we probably shouldn't be relying on me exclusively to keep it up to date. I'm happy to host it and answer questions about it, though.
So I got a reply from Yon. He was extremely polite, and decided to stay inactive.
So we have lost at least once. I have not heard back from Dee yet.
I did hear back from one of my other players. They are interested, but have not played before so I am going to help verify character and stuff.
I will touch bases back.
As for items, yeah Clara took all of her stuff. No worries on getting a bit behind on the items. Starfinder moves forward with items pretty fast, so it wont break anything to be a bit behind. Lets take Yon's share out of the amount for people. We might want to assume DeeV8 has left too.
It might get a bit messy here, but we will just run with it. Easier to just power through than complicated it too much.
I'm here so sorry I had a death in the family. I'm still interested if that's ok.
Of course! Sorry to hear about the death. Thank you for checking in.
Take your time with family and stuff.
Well that puts us back at the full number. Just going to work with the replacement for Yon to build a character.
