Dead Suns AP by GM Cellion (Inactive)

Game Master GM Cellion

Thanks! I've posted a reply.

Kind of funny how when people RP speaking Elven we just default to Tolkien. Like "He's the only one who bothered to write a full lexicon for this sh!t, we might as WELL use it even if we're not roleplaying in Middle-Earth!" :P

Everyone alright? It seems like things quieted down a bit here...

I think our last ditch attempt here is a bluff check. Since you are the only one who speaks elven I think, that is up to you, Arc. And if you fail, then Cellion should move us into a battle.

Solaria's player is sick, Sydney's had a personal emergency, and Ted's has been on vacation. And this weekend is Easter! I figure that's the reason why things have been a little quiet.

Regarding the current situation, I'll let you guys try any last thing you want to attempt today, and then (if that doesn't work) will move you to combat tonight.

Is there a chance we can try Ted's suggestion since I didn't see that update until now?

I'm back and we're good to go! Give me a day to read and catch up. Thanks again.

Welcome back Sydney! I've added you in to initiative for the fight that's currently in progress.

I've survived the yukiness of being ill. Reading to catch up and hope Solaria is gonna get out of whatever trouble we've got ourselves into... ;-)

Will wait for GM C to add me to the BOLD group when it Solaria's turn to join in the fun.

Glad to hear it Solaria, welcome back! I've thrown you right into initiative and given you a welcome back gift of 3 fire damage :P

The group could certainly use your help, this is a pretty dangerous fight!

Can those crystals only be used in a solarian weapon?

Right, only in a solarian's solar weapon.

Ah--then there can be only one.

Yes, though even I can't use it myself: Arcalinte has solar armor instead of a solar weapon, and the crystals don't affect those. It's really a matter of what is affecting what. For Panelliar, the item (the crystal) is enhancing the ability (the solar weapon). For Arcalinte, the ability (the solar armor) is enhancing the item (the light armor he's wearing).

So Arcalinte will take it, but probably turn it in to the University when they return to Qabarat. As the most famous adventurer-archaeologist put it...

As long as we get money for it.

Just so you all know, my posting may slow a little going into May: I'm struggling to keep up with my posting between work and getting ready for my best friend's wedding (I'm a groomsman!).

I've been assuming that when Ted makes a knowledge roll that others can then read the spoiler and we bypass (because of the boards) some of the roleplaying of revealing the details?

Yep Ted, that's what I've been running with too. Just wanted to make sure to emphasize it this time since there's a lot of potentially plot relevant detail in that spoiler :>

Is it possible to move the curtain aside a bit, as a move action, and then fire, and then let the curtain go as a free action so it covers me back up?

Sounds fair Isu. You have the extra arms for it after all.

cool. what about people without extra arms? Because this curtain provides some great cover for us

You'd just need a free hand to move the curtain. I mentioned the benefit of extra arms since you can wield your heavy weapon at the same time and still have free hands for pulling cover into place.

For other people with two-handed weapons, taking a hand off their weapon and putting it back on to fire is a swift action each time (unfortunately).

I'd just like to say, this feels very scary .....

Hey all,

Crazy work situation to start the week after a busy weekend. I'll catch up by tomorrow, though.

For awareness: I'll be traveling on business for the next two weeks (until the 24th). While I expect to be able to post, I may have less time and energy to do so. I'll do my best to keep us rolling, but we may be running at a slower speed than normal.

Thanks for letting us know GM C. Hope the trip goes well.

Have a great time!

Our loot haul is starting to reach monumental levels. Someone added in the temple loot (thanks!), and I added in those grenades.

It doesn't make sense we are hauling around that whole list. If we followed bulk rules we would all be overwhelmed. With agreement from everyone, we should just delete out most of the unused weapons and cheap armor (like longswords and ringwear 1)

The squad machine gun is a level 4 weapon. If no ranged fighter wants it, Isu would take it as a backup weapon.

The squad defiance series armor is heavy armor (+5,+8), level 3, worse than what I have.

Everything else is pretty weak. If you can throw grenades, everyone should take a few. (If we get in a situation where the enemy is closesly packed together, if everyone threw grenades at once we could do decent damage).

“Stop! Don’t hurt it!”

“… it’s a killer robot. Hurting it is the whole idea.“

“It’s a Fifth Dynasty killer robot. That makes it a protected cultural artifact.“

“The protected cultural artifact just blew up our van.“

“I know – it’s in amazing condition!”

“That isn’t what I meant!”

“Well, it should have been.”

Relevant link!

Cleave... is kinda worthless. This is the second chance I got to use it in two books and it still doesn't work.

I'm on vacation in Seville next week, returning the following Monday night. I won't be posting for that period, so please bot away.

If possible she asks the group for a short rest in the library.

Should we do a roll off on the crystal? Anyone who doesn't have a mark I ability score boost would be interested.

d100 and highest gets it?

I'm out. I already paid for one back at the start of this book.

Sydney already purchased a magic ability crystal so she's out too, haha

Ok, well I'll go first, give everyone a number to beat.

d100 let's go Isu!: 1d100 ⇒ 25

boooooo Isu!

d100 let's go Isu!: 1d100 ⇒ 69

Consider that an aid Isu check for Ted, lol. It's an awesome crystal, but go ahead and take it. I'll grab the next one or buy one.

Go ahead and take it--I'll get something later.

Back from holiday so will post soon, when I've caught up with the game.

I have to admit that I am a little nervous about Isu and Arc taking every single shot. The rest of you hiding away in your sniping position better not suck, that's all I'm sayin...

Here we go .... Butch Cassidireena and the Sundance Kiddio....Lets Go!!!

Isu and Arcalinte, fighting side-by-side, just like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu! (By the way, Total War: Three Kingdoms is AMAZING!!!)

We have SOOOOOO much loot. People need to read through that, perhaps read up on what things do, and claim things.

I'm guessing that we will at least have a short window to go back to Absalom station and sell and buy, and we should clear out this loot list entirely when we do that and start fresh for book 3. So claim! claim! claim! Sooner rather than later.

Kind of ogling that d-suit, it's better than the tempweave I've got and I am the one in light armor getting into the heaviest fighting, but I don't want to be greedy. Especially if I upgrade my weapon to a hook sword or something, ditching the longsword or curve blade or angel wing.

Or get climbing suckers or a jetpack.

Yes, take that d-suit, Arc. You take far more damage than the other light-armor users and need the most protection.

Also take that crystal. I don't know what it does but it is a solarian crystal.

I'm probably going to have to sell it. As we've said before, it only works on Solar Weapons, and I have Solar Armor, so I can't actually use it.

ok add it to the sell section!

Hello boys and girls! This is your GM coming to you live from the Moscow airport as my whirlwind of travel is finally dying down. Yesterday's post was an absolute doozy to do on mobile, so I'll be happy to get back to my PC again.

As Isu correctly assumed, we are just about wrapping up Book 2 of Dead Suns! Before long you'll be saying goodbye to the friendly jungles of Castrovel and heading for far more inhospitable locales. As a result, this is a good time to check in and see how you guys are doing once more.

So for each of you:

I'm enjoying the game. I want to keep going!

I'm trying to help keep momentum up. It would be good for everyone to commit to putting a little more effort in on daily posts.

Credit goes to Isu I suppose. I didn't know it could go to someone else.

1. I've been DEFINITELY enjoying the AP so far, especially with our interactions with each other!

2. I'm in for the duration!

3. I'm going to try as best as I can. I will admit, some of my daily posts have been a bit on the sparse side. Trying to manage work-life-sleep balance is haaaaaaaard!

4. Most likely you'd have to give the credit to Zagrea Tannere, my only Starfinder Society character...

This has been great fun, and I'd like to continue. I should say I'm going to be a little sketchy in June (I am on a road trip June 15-25, and have a couple other dates later in the month I may be unable to post).

Aside from that, I should be good to continue.

I want to continue, I'm really liking the game and the party. Well up for Book 3.

I will do my best to post daily, though while we're on the subject I will be away and not posting July 31st-August 5 and Aug 22-26. Apart from that should be good.
