Dropped Rifle's stats:

Artillery laser, azimuth - 1d10 F - 120 ft. - Burn 1d6 - 20 charges -Uses 2 - 3 bulk - Penetrating

Actions pending for Arc and Eekz. I'll bot Eekz if he hasn't posted by the time Arc does.

Eekz is hurting pretty bad, but he fires at the boss lady again, hoping his lithe little goblin body can avoid the next attacks on him.

Belial's Maps; Dispater's Maps

Alrighty, I'll go ahead and bot Arc

PCs' Actions:

Ted: Move into club
Grix: Shoot wildly
Spectre: "I meant to kill that wall."
Eekz: Grazing shot
Arc: Botting

Grix and Spectre fire their weapons but both of their shots go wide. Ted moves into the club, grenade ready to go as soon as he's in position, while Eekz and Arc attack Ferani from two directions and managed to wound her.

Ferani, her injuries beginning to mount, looks desperately towards the closed door beyond Eekz. She glances at her bodyguard, cowering in the corner. She looks back at the three Starfinders in the room... then drops her weapon and raises her hands.

"Alright... alright! I give up. Don't shoot!"

The message hasn't been heard outside, though, and the three Kings in the storage room return fire towards Spectre and Ted. Despite having cover from being on the other side of the door, each of the Starfinders is hit by one blast from the Kings' laser pistols.

Ted takes 4, Spectre takes 5.

Arc's Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Real talk time: is Snow throwing us a bone because we're in over our heads? Because I'm inclined to have Grix believe that Ferani is trying to trap or trick them, and then refuse the offer. Don't know how suicidal of a strategy that is. :>

No way to know except to “roll the dice”. :-p I’ll tell you when it’s over. ;-)

Ted tosses a frag grenade in to the heart of the guards, "These guys mean business. Let's not mess around." He tosses the grenade towards the guards in cover.

grenade toss: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Targetting the square one up and to the right of the middle guy.

One damage. From a grenade? More like a ground flower.

Eekz slips over and grabs Ferani's dropped weapon while doing a drop and roll, curling back onto his feet in a fluid motion far enough away from her to avoid a kick or other attack...

Grix scoffs at Ferani's quickness to give up, suspecting some kind of trick or trap "Fine lady, drop all your weapons, get on the floor, and let my friend tie you up! We'll be takhing you out of here to answer some khuestions." He keeps the unfamiliar artillery laser pointed in her direction. "If you're khuikh about it we won't even have to khill your bodyguard!"

If she seems to hesitate or do anything other than exactly what Grix is describing, he'll send a shot into the cowering vesk.

Artillery laser: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 2 - 4 = 13

PCs' Actions:

Spectre: Blast 'em
Ted: 'Splode 'em
Eekz: Grab weapon
Grix: Ready attack/issue orders
Arc: Botting

Outside, Spectre drones, "Damage sustained." His combat tracking locks on the nearest target and he returns fire, while Ted tosses in a grenade. Despite the thunderous roar of the explosion in a confined space, it seems the tables and furniture take the brunt of the damage.

Eekz slips over and grabs Ferani's dropped weapon while doing a drop and roll, curling back onto his feet in a fluid motion far enough away from her to avoid a kick or other attack while Grix scoffs at Ferani's quickness to give up, suspecting some kind of trick or trap. "Fine lady, drop all your weapons, get on the floor, and let my friend tie you up! We'll be takhing you out of here to answer some khuestions." He keeps the unfamiliar artillery laser pointed in her direction. "If you're khuikh about it we won't even have to khill your bodyguard!"

Following Grix's lead, Arcalinte readies an attack against Ferani or her vesk bodyguard in case either make any sudden or threatening moves.

Ferani nods dully while coughing up some blood. Moving slowly, she drops some other weapons on the floor while growling, "Vrok, keep calm and stay where you are." The vesk at her side finally seems to be coming out of the effect of Grix's spell and seems about to leap back into the fray when Ferani gives her order to stand down. Grudgingly, he seems to accept, lowering the assault hammer to his side though he hasn't dropped it. She looks at Grix from where she's standing behind the desk and says, "You want me to get on the floor here, where you won't be able to watch me, or come out from behind the desk first?"

Sense Motive DC 15:
Ferani is listening closely to the combat outside and she's trying to keep from looking towards the door. She's playing for time.

Perception DC 12:
Ferani has miniaturized comm unit in one ear. It's broadcasting.

On the other side of the door, one of the Kings advanced on the door, taking better cover while also gaining a better vantage before firing at Ted. From behind the damaged table, the two Kings also continue firing with their laser pistols, one at Ted and the other at Spectre.

One blast slams into Spectre, badly scorching his exterior casing as a slow trickle of some fluid begins to leak out. Ted fares slightly better, one of the shots going wide while the other grazes him.

Spectre takes 8; Ted takes 3.

GM's Rolls:

Bluff: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15
Top vs Ted: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 - 2 = 10 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"Too SLOW!" Grix reads her body language and quickly says to Eekz and Arc "Grab her and lets go." Grix has garbage strength and won't be doing much grabbing alone, sadly. "Stay nice and khalm and still. If you struggle, you're dead. If your goons interfere, you're dead. You khan choose to tell them to give up right now, or, you guessed it, dead." Grix makes sure to cast his voice loud enough to be picked up by her open comms, hoping that this might cause the fighting outside to die down.

Grix moves to the door in anticipation of making a quick getaway after this.

Readied Artillery Laser Shot vs. Vrok: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 2 - 4 = 12

Ted cringes from the blaster hit and returns fire. He flicks on his comlink, "Grix, you still there? We've got guards shooting us up bad. Are you on the other side of the door?"

pistol attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 for damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1P

Grix has had his comms open this whole time.

To Ferani he says "Our friends are on the other side of this door, khilling your men right now. But they don't have to if you cooperate."

Sorry for the delay folks. Our hotel is gearing up for the Superbowl, but I do have 4 days off this weekend so I'm gonna catch up as best I can!

Arcalinte is relieved when it appears the fight is over, and they can negotiate, only for Grix to break that relief when he sees through the gangster's ruse. He still follows his friend's instructions and grapples Ferani, putting the edge of his starknife at her throat.

"So much for wanting to be better than the gangsters," he comments.

Is the fight "over" or do I need to make a grapple check?


Belial's Maps; Dispater's Maps

No worries. Shows you how out of it I am. I didn't know where the Super Bowl is this year or that it was even coming up.

And, yeah, I think we can call it...

Ferani grunts as Arcalinte puts her into a hold before she yelps, "Okay! Okay! We give up. Drop your weapons, drop 'em now!" Outside, the Kings remain in cover but stop firing and Spectre and Ted can hear the clatter of a weapon being dropped, followed by another and then a third.

The King's leader stares with hatred at Grix as she spits blood on the floor. "What do you want, bug?"

Unsure of how to proceed, Vrok eventually lets his hammer fall the floor, where it topples to the ground with a loud THUNK. He awkwardly holds his hands up, then lowers them, then just isn't sure what to do. "Boss, really? I could'a taken them."

She snarls back, "Shut up... not before I was dead. Now play it smart and maybe we'll get out of this." Back to Grix again, "So, what is it? Creds? Drugs?"

"Information, and maybe a little justice. Your gang killed our contact. The Starfinders want to know why," Arcalinte replies tersely.

Spectre contemplates firing a retributive shot at the disarmed foes, but thinks better of it.

This time...

"I appear to have sustained some damage that will need to be repaired. Perhaps our hosts have some healing capabilities they would be willing to share after their less-than-ideal reception."

The droid keeps his longarm trained on the three Kings outside the door.


Male Shirren Mystic 2 | SP 14/14 HP 18/18 RP 5/5 | EAC 13 KAC 14 | F +1 R +2 W +7 | Init +6 | Perc +9 | Spells Avail:: L1(1/3)

"Tell us about the 'dead dwarf stikhing his nose where it don't belong', and bakh your words up with hard evidence. Khomms from the group that hired you would satisfy. Oh and throw in a few khreds on top to khover our waste of time here and we'll be on our way lady." Grix shows no signs of giving up his new artillery laser either, keeping it aimed at Ferani now to back up his threat.

Speaking obviously down into his comms he says "Hope you didn't khill too many out there, boss lady wants to talk!"


Belial's Maps; Dispater's Maps

Ferani starts to laugh and says, "I don't know anything ab..." when Grix quotes her own words back to her. She stops, deflated. "Oh, yeah... I did say that, didn't I? S%+~."

She chews on her lip for a moment, then sighs. "Alright. Let's see here. The reason and evidence, I can give you. Hard evidence. Though you won't be able to get it without my authentication. As for creds... there's what? Three of you in here, at least two outside? How about 50 creds each, for your troubles?"

Outside, as Ted and Spectre stop firing, the Kings who dropped their weapons slowly stand up with their hands above their heads.

Exo-Guardians

Arcalinte frowns at Grix.

"Are we really doing this? The evidence is necessary, but if I wanted to extort money out of people I'd have gone corporate back on Akiton."


Male Shirren Mystic 2 | SP 14/14 HP 18/18 RP 5/5 | EAC 13 KAC 14 | F +1 R +2 W +7 | Init +6 | Perc +9 | Spells Avail:: L1(1/3)

Grix glances towards Arc, raising an antenna in confusion "What? We won, we takhe our part, its only fair. You ARE new to this, kehe!" To Ferani he continues "I'll takhe a flat thousand for our whole group, and you'll be happy we didn't askh for more for your safety."

Grix rests easily. This part of the process is pretty familiar to him, having seen his old crewmates handle extortions like this one at almost every port of call.

"NOW you're sounding like one of the raiders my town had to deal with when I was a kid," Arcalinte replies in a bitter tone, though his grip on Ferani doesn't slacken.


Belial's Maps; Dispater's Maps

Ferani winces slightly as Arc ensures his grip hasn't slackened during the discussion, but then chuckles dryly, "Ah, come now, handsome... your bug-friend is just speaking the language of commerce." She turns her eyes back towards Grix as she's not really able to turn her head. "Thousand creds it is... evidence, and you get to keep the lizard's gun, since he clearly doesn't know how to use it. Deal?"

Sense Motive DC 7:
She agreed to that quite readily and is probably able to offer more.

"Did I say a thousand? Oh, my 'bug' akhccent must have khonfused you. I meant two thousand." Grix rasps with an amused burble to his voice. "You don't need that pistol of yours either?" He nods in Eekz's direction, who should still have Ferani's pistol.

To Arc he sends "Doesn't surprise me, raiders and pirates have a lot in common. At least here we're stealing from those who deserve it."

Grix rasps out a laugh at Arc's comment "Oh, I ekhspect them to! I'd be surprised if they didn't! We just have to teach them a lesson if they try. That's how these things workh, right lady?"

"You guys are a greedy bunch and are going to get us in trouble. Get our information and let the lady go or we're going to have these guys trailing us all over the galaxy," Ted spoke over his comm link as he moved the guard's weapons out of their reach.

"For once, Ted and me are in agreement," Arcalinte says.


Belial's Maps; Dispater's Maps

Ferani listens to as much of the back and forth among you as she can (without access to your comm's channel). She stares at Grix while she thinks, weighing her options. Finally...

"Fine. It seems you're inclined to take all we've got and more if you can. But you can't squeeze blood from an asteroid. There's a cred stick in my right pocket. Take that. Then there's a keycard in my pocket, left side. It opens that door." She gestures towards the closet in the corner of the room. "You'll find credsticks, UBPs, and gear. There ain't even close to two thousand creds on the sticks, but that with the rest of the gear, well... it'll be damn close. Are we done?" She says the last with a scowl.

"Finally...cooperation," Spectre says. "Perhaps in the future you will provide a less hostile welcome to your guests. All we required was some information," the droid adds.

Moving over to the closet, the droid searches to inventory the gear.

"At the very least, whatever blood money you got for Larur's death can be used to support his family," Arcalinte replies. He looks at Grix, awaiting the signal to let Ferani go.

Grix sends over to Arc "They'll take any opportunity to kill us if you let her go. Best we keep a hold of her until we're out of the building. I'd say even longer, but her goons might get a bit trigger happy if we do. Once you let her go we'll have to leave fast."

Out loud to Ferani he rasps "Wonderful! And, the evidence we're lookhing for? Once we have that we'll head on our merry way." He steps in towards her and uses one claw to fish out the credstick and keycard, tossing the card to Spectre so that that the android can strip the closet bare.


Belial's Maps; Dispater's Maps

Ferani, her head rendered largely immobile by Arc's grip, turns just her eyes towards Grix and says, "On my computer... you're going to have to let me go so I can open the files and send them to you. You can watch over my shoulder, if you like." She pauses, then grins, "Threaten to shoot the vesk if I don't comply. I'm okay with that." She laughs slightly, though it's a bit choked off by the pressure around her neck. Vrok just grumbles from where he stands in the corner.

"Arc, khan you let her arms free so she khan use her terminal?" Grix moves over to look over her shoulder to see if he can spot her pulling a fast one on the group.

Sense Motive to anticipate a trick: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Looks like we're in good shape to get the data and then head out. Unless of course we get backstabbed! Anyone else want to cover something with the gang or Ferani before we leave? If not, I think we're good to go.

Arcalinte obliges, but makes sure that his starknife is juuuust close enough that he could easily kill her if she tries to pull a fast one on them.

"Let's just get this over with."

With Grix and Arcalinte already having said more or less what he planned to say, Spectre maintains a steady aim on the three thugs.

I'm going to need some healing before another combat...

Yep, we're pretty beaten up as a whole. I'm hoping we can sneak away and heal up somewhere safe before we follow whatever leads Ferani's data gives up.

I know just the place to recover! We could go to Arcalinte's alma mater, the Cosmonastery of the Empty Orbit! I'm sure they'd be willing to shelter a former student and his friends, and no gang would be stupid enough to attack an entire school of experienced solarians! :D


Belial's Maps; Dispater's Maps

Tried posting this last night but the website went wacky on me.

Ferani spends a few moments logging into her computer, authenticating her way through the encryption, and then sending you a copy of some comm logs and financial transactions. Together, they outline a relationship between the Kings and Astral Extractions, and that the Kings were hired to kill Duravor Kreel, though the evidence linking that to Astral Extractions is, at best, circumstantial, as it involved a series of cutouts and innuendo. But the assassination was intended to be a message to both the Hardscrabble Collective and the Starfinders to not be so curious about the Drift Rock and the ghost ship that arrived with it, the Acreon.

In Ferani's other pocket, you find a credstick worth 500 credits. In the secured closet of the back office, you find a holoskin, an autotarget rifle with five magazines of longarm rounds (10 cartridges each), two incendiary grenades I, two mk 1 serums of healing, a quick-release sheath armor upgrade, 500 UPBs, and half a dozen credsticks holding 100 credits each.

When it's all said and done, Ferani cocks her head slightly to the side and says in a breathy sotto voce to Arc, "This been fun for you? I know I'm getting all tingly."

This is a cool idea!

Loot and information secured, Grix backs out of the office with the laser artillery still pointing towards the vesk and Ferani. He sends to Arc "Last chance to flirt with the psycho. I know you're tempted." along with a pulse of cackling laughter.

He eyes Arc's movements carefully, waiting for the moment the solarion releases Ferani so that he can immediately withdraw.

Arcalinte makes a disgusted noise.

"Your idea of 'fun' destroys the lives of the innocent. The Dawnflower accepts all seeking mercy, but you don't even WANT to look for it,"

He gives her a rough shove before turning to leave.

"We're done here," he says tersely.

Grix whoop-coughs, backs up a bit more as everyone else in the party starts leaving, and then turns and runs for it! As soon as he's out of the building he'll send "Meet back up at the elevator, we need a place out of reach of these thugs for a while. Ideas?" to all his allies.

He then sprints into an alleyway and speeds his way towards the elevator to escape Kings territory.

Spectre runs diagnostics on his condition.

"I am in need of some repairs," he says. "The enemy likely saw me as the greatest threat and concentrated firepower on me."

His head swivels to each member of the group.

"Well, don't thank me all at once."

"Thank you, Spectre," Arcalinte replies before noticing Grix run off and beginning to sprint after him, his armor receding back into his mote.

"As for ideas, I think I know just the place. When we get out of the elevator, we'll get transit to the Arms, to the Cosmonastery of the Empty Orbit. They would definitely welcome a graduate like myself, and I can vouch for the rest of you. We should be safe there. No gang would be stupid enough to attack a school run by some of the most powerful solarians outside the Idari. And since it's in the Arms, distance alone ought to make the Kings hesitant to pursue us, as they would need to travel far from their domain to find us, a risky venture when you've just been impoverished and a rival gang is at war with you."

Awww. Poor Ferani. All work and no play as the half-elf runs away.

The Kings don't give chase though Ferani does yell after you, "Come back soon!" And then, more muffled as it's not directed towards you, "You useless s$$*s! What the hells do I pay you for!?"

You make it to a transit hub and from there make your way to the Arm housing the Cosmonastery. A guard at the entrance allows you entrance with only a modicum of hassle. All but Arcalinte and required to wear visitor-badges restricting your access to public areas, including the lobby, a cafeteria and restrooms.

If you want, there was enough time in transit that you could have rested for ten minutes to spend a Resolve and get your Stamina points bak to full.

I'll definitely spend that Resolve to get my Stamina back.

Spectre walks next to Arcalinte as they enter the Cosmonastery. "I am afraid I have yet to encounter anyone of your order previously. Are there any here that might prove useful in less-savory endeavors?"

Ditto!

Arcalinte looks up at the dome as they approach the center of the Cosmonastery, recalling the first time he'd done so, years ago. It had been so different than looking up at the night sky on Akiton. Here there was no sunrise, no sunset, just a thin force-field between them and the void. It really drove home the mantra he'd learned shortly after arriving. "There is no beginning, there is no end." He may have once thought it ironic that he'd return here after stating his intention to join the Starfinders, but no...he would have returned here, and he would leave again. He may have passed his initial trials, but he was still a student. Spectre's question jolts him out of his thoughts.

"If there are, Spectre, I would not know them. High Sola Tabishad is a strict teacher, and her Order of the Empty Orbit has no real interest in such things unless they assist the Order's goal of preventing deliberate reengineering of planets and things of that nature. Speaking of which..."

He approaches one of the students milling about the area.

"Pardon my interruption, but are any of the Solas available for an audience? Particularly Sola Gorsen Anax Calanice, or even the High Sola if possible."

One thing he had always admired about the place was that no matter the status of the teachers, they always made time for their students.
