Whaaaa you work at a hotel Arc?! Which one/chain?

Whaaaa you work at a hotel Arc?! Which one/chain?

The JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America! If you're looking to book there, or you're staying there and need something, odds are I'm one of the ones who'll take your call!

Bit confused, I thought we were going for 8 hours rest, before we start heading off down the trap door?

Yep you already got the 8 hrs rest per my earlier post.

I forgot to say I'm outta reach, camping and watching motorbike for the next few days, back Monday or Tuesday.

I gotta ask, is all that armor in there actually listed in the book or is this just you as the GM throwing us a bone here? :P

Ok, for everyone's convenience here are those armors!

two d-suits I, two estex suits II, two suits of kasatha microcord II, and a ysoki refractor suit. All light armors. Isu will pass on all of them since none are better than the heavy armor I have already.

GM's Secret.

BTW Isu, thank you for listing out the armors. Thats super helpful for people looking quickly if they have an upgrade waiting in the wings.

All 4 of those are better than what Ted's wearing! Ted would like the Ysoki if no one else wants it.

sorry that I cut the ysoki name off the bottom one. Ted, take it. There is plenty now!

Ted, what do you think about letting me use the ysoki armor and you take the microcord?

They're pretty comparable, only I have a +5 Dex bonus and you only have a +3 (so my AC is substantially better using the ysoki).

I would actually like to get another ability gem for Sydney so y'all can have first dibs on armor

That microcord might be good for Arcalinte, especially since he likes kasathan armor due to his solarian education!

Spectre, it's yours. I'll take microcord.

Sydney we have more new armor than we have players. If it is an upgrade, take something.

A pristine black and red suit of heavy armor, fitted with booster jets on its back! (A golemforged plating III with jump jets installed in one of its upgrade slots)

This is a nice heavy armor. Isu will be happy to take it.

And then when Isu gets it refitted he'll wear it and think "This one is SO COOL!" :P

Spectre, it's yours. I'll take microcord.

Thanks, Cuz! I'll take it, then.

That armor gave me an upgrade of 5 EAC and 4 KAC, PLUS removed my -4 armor check penalty. Big upgrade!

do i need to get the armor refitted or can i just wear it?

Pretty sure that's the case with any armor we don't buy in a store.

Yep, has to be refitted. Someone with engineering can do it in an hour on your ship with an engineering check DC 10+2xItem Level. So DC24 for Level 7 armor. Since failure doesn't ruin the armor, you can try again if the first hour of work doesn't succeed (imagine you resize it, but it still doesn't fit).

And yes, very glad you guys came across this armory. Really good upgrades for folks... upgrades you're going to need soon enough :>

Ted has engineering +12

I've got +15 Engineering. I wouldn't mind going and fitting all our armors. We've had some rough fights, and all this looks like it will wait for us.

My partying started early this weekend. I'll get caught up today on everything.

How about we wrap up this map; if we end up going either up or down a level we take a break to fit our armor? I hate resting too much because it isn't realistic.

Not sure what you're saying Isu. Do you mean once you've uncovered this current level that you plan to head back to the ship to do armor fitting?

I concur with Isu

Yes, let's finish exploring this map before we rest. Unless we get desperate.

Today's my birthday. I'm 27. How should I celebrate? Lol

Happy birthday! Mine was yesterday (I'm 31)!

I also went to the Minnesota State Fair on Thursday last week (that's part of why my posting slowed down this week, between that, my birthday and being in the middle of a ten-day work week I'm kinda low on energy until I get some more sleep)!

Celebrate with a night out without the kids (also the same if you don't have kids)!!

Belated greetings to Arc.

Sorry I've been away, but I'm not really feeling it with Solaria at the moment. That plus my new job are taking their toll on this game.

*E-HUG*

I understand feeling burned out, Solaria.

And my rolls continue to be cursed!

No worries Solaria - you can bow out for now if you'd like. We'll be here again when you get the craving to return and you settle in to the new job. Just give us a heads up if you're not going to be posting for a while.

BTW: Congrats on the new job!

Congrats indeed!

Will make my post after work tomorrow, as I was at a protest this evening and am tuckered out. G'night!

Sorry it took so long to post again.

Here's my reaction to my latest post.

I know this is kinda reckless, but I figure Isu can handle the damage.

Serum: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Everybody alright?

Forums misbehaving for the last day, seems like.

Electrostatic Field
This field over your armor grants you electricity resistance, and any creature that touches you or deals damage to you with a melee weapon takes electricity damage. The resistance granted and damage dealt depend on this upgrade’s type, as noted below.
Mk 1: Resistance 5 and 1d6 electricity damage.

Bleeding
Source Starfinder Core Rulebook pg. 193
Item Level 5
The bleeding fusion weaves entropic energy into the weapon’s form. The weapon gains the bleed critical hit effect (see page 182). The amount of damage taken each round from this effect is equal to 1d6 per 5 levels of the weapon, rounded down. If the weapon already has a critical hit effect, when you score a critical hit, you can apply either the weapon’s normal critical hit effect or the bleed effect. Only weapons that deal piercing or slashing damage can have this fusion.

SFS Legal Vicious
Source Starfinder #2: Temple of the Twelve pg. 53
Item Level 5
Vicious weapons have sinister appearances. A vicious weapon gains the boost special weapon property, but when you make an attack with the boosted damage, you take damage equal to the additional boost damage. This damage applies even if your attack misses, and it is not reduced by DR, resistance, or any other ability. The boost is 1d4, plus an additional 1d4 for every 6 item levels the weapon has. If the weapon does not use charges or ammunition, boosting it takes a standard action and does not expend any additional charges or ammunition. You cannot boost an attack made with the automatic, blast, explode, or line weapon special property. Weapons that have the boost special weapon property cannot be vicious.

------------------

I would probably be interested in the electrostatic field, but not the others. I would take the jump jets out of my new armor and give them to someone else, and then take the electrostatic field, if that sounds good.

Is our ship stat block somewhere? Maybe it can be put into the slides. I can't do anything without it.

Its in there! Check slide 3 of Maps.

Awesomesausages!

great. My priority will be to fire the nukes from the front arc, at whatever ship is most damaged, but failing that I will fire the turret.

Arc, I still think you should fire a gun with me.

I didn't realize you wanted me to hop on a gun, Isu! Sorry! Which one should I hop on?

my guess is that we will need to take a shot with the port gun this round, after they move

whew those things aren't too accurate but when they hit they do more damage than us, on average. Scary!

It seems like these battles are a ton of GM work. Thanks Cellion.

Aaaaah I've been gone for a week. If you have someone wanting to jump in to the campaign I can step down
