GM Friendly Sauce’s Dead Suns

Game Master friendly sauce

Room 1 is a simple bunk cabin. It has 2 identical bunks, a pair of lockers, a small sink, a some personal possessions of the miners.

Room 2 however has a door that will not open, almost as if it has been barricaded from the inside.

"we are not cutting anyones toes off. Today. Who are you guys? "

Website was down this morning when I checked. Really hope it'll be completely fixed in the near future.

Hi-C thumbs through pantry.

"Ha-HA! What? Some of this stuff expired last century! I don't think relish, ketchup and mustard are supposed to be the same color. No wonder those miners we-"

-and then Justin interrupts him.

"I ain't been bitten in my toe! Err. Wait. Who you talking to?"

Handsome will say in goblin through the door, "Hey! Hey! We talk! Keep toe, we not fight! You tell us everything about ship and we let you go! Smart, smart deal!! Yes?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (19) + 8 + (1) = 28

"This is what you get for having no external ears... "

"I heard humans once cut off small creatures feet for luck, My people usually take a few small pebbles and put them in a pouch. Or some would take the knuckle bones of deceased friends as treasured pieces for luck. So maybe if I knew them well and had passed. Wait why are we talking about toe cutting again?" He says looking over to the packets and scrutinizing the labels.

"My group sold a shipment of those once to some very seedy looking micro corporation seeking to poison the world or something. Can't quite remember the details but I would not eat those"

Those listening through the door hear a hurried conversation between at least 2 voices,

"They say they not cut toes off?"

"You think they tell truth?"

"you think we survive if we stay in room?"

"Shhh you wake dogs again! get eated like Squidnose!

"Don't Shhh me! you Shhhh or they hear us!!!"

"I got it!!! ahem...," in what can only be the creatures best impression of a ships computer, "uhh Doors locked. Doors locked. Please evacate ship before it splodes."

as far as you can tell whoever is in there definitely heard you but is pretending they didn't.

Turning to his teammates, Handsome facepalms, then somewhat defensively says, "Look, EVERY species (including goblins) has some tribes that are inbred and just plain stupid, okay? These guys seem to come from one of those tribes. But hey, don't judge ALL goblins, y'hear??? We AIN'T all the same!!

"Now, if this next lil gambit of mine doesn't work in flushing them out, I say we just bust the door down..."

Then in a loud voice so that they can hear through the door, "Yah, yah you right, longshanks! If dey no open door an' leave in peace, den dey force us ta use magic supa supa door sploder! It destroy door an' chop head off all hidin' behind door in jus' halfa second! Whazzat? You ready now, longshanks? Okay okay! I countdown, den you activate supa supa sploder! Five, four, three....."

Handsome pauses a bit on three waiting to see if there is any reaction from behind the door...

Bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Hi-C rolls his eyes.

He takes out two bags of pretzels and a bottle of liquor. He rustles the bags together and taps the bottle against the door.

"We got food and whiskey. If you don't come out soon, OUR goblin's going to get ALL of it. Or you can stay in there and go hungry. Your choice."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20

"Interesting more goblins!" Egg says looking at the door and then the others."Wonder what to expect from them."

"Interesting more goblins!" Egg says looking at the door and then the others."Wonder what to expect from them."

"Not much "

between Handsome's roll and Hi-C's crit, the voices speak up through the door, "What flavor pretzels??" the voice comes out softly with its question.

"If we open door you share wiskey and pretzels and NOT kill us and NOT use magic supa supa door sploder, yes?" the other voice ventures out.

"Yes right. You come out an' tell about ship. We share food an' longshanks not use magic supa supa door sploder! Smart deal!"

This would be the perfect opportunity to introduce two new PCs, Lol

Two new goblin PCs! Or non-goblins raised by goblins... which would be an interesting story...

A gaggle of Goblins!!

"What flavor pretzels??" the voice comes out softly with its question.

Lmao, I had to dig through the last ten pages to do an inventory list!

Hi-C looks at the bags in his hands and into the emptiness of his pack.

"Uhh... They're both Flaming Hot Dragon Chive."

No loss there.

”oooooooohhhh Flaming Hot Dragon Chive” you hear both voices in unison. ”ok we open door and you not kill us and you give us pretzels!!” one of the voices proclaims; it takes several rounds of swearing and the sound of the barricade being removed but eventually the door opens and two goblins appear with their hands outstretched,awaiting their reward, and their toothy grins taking up almost their entire bulbous heads.
Each goblin carries what looks like a large piece of shrapnel welded to some piping and what could only be described as random parts and pieces taped and glued and soldered together in the vague shape of a pistol.

They both wear tattered flight suites with questionably sound environmental seals. One of the goblins is weighted down by a semi filled backpack.

"Hi! I'm Handsome." Aside from the pretzels, Handsome will pour them a bit of rum. "We not kill you now. But tell us how you arrived and what you know about ship?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 8 + (4) = 20

Culture, Untrained: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Hi-C adds, "if you do, we can get you more food when we return to Absalom Station."

Diplomacy, Aid: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20

"You are an interesting pair" He says as he stretches out a hand.

"I am Egisthikal or Egg for short a pleasure to meet such fine creatures as yourselves"

Lets raid the kitchen and is there any chance they consent to a quick token spell shower?

His whiskers bristle

"Magic supa supa dirt sploder?"

Culture, untrained: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

"How do those lasers even function? The agitation in the neutronium coolant solution is way off."

Our newest goblin should have his post up tonight, as far as retcon just assume only one of the goblins looks as previously described.

The slightly more generic looking of the two goblins guzzles down the hot pretzels and whisky and rabidly as most would expect. The other however....

Hello zere...
You see before you a tall (for a) Space Goblin wearing a lab coat and red face paint resembling a crude skull or jack-o-lantern.
in one hand, poorly hidden behind his body, and currently pointed at the deck behind him, some sort of long ?weapon? with dials and protrusions and what you might guess is a scope. You might want to wince at the thought of a goblin made sniper rifle.
... Welcome to my humble vessel. I was here first, and I licked it, ztherefore by interzgalactic zsalvage law, Zthisz isz my zship! But zseeingz asz you have, asz your leader, a promizsing zSpace Goblinz Hero perhapsz we can reach zsome zsort of accordian?

(somone else:)Don't you mean accord?

NO! I am zsaying ekxzactly vwhat I amz meanings. An accordian isz like an accord butz bigger. And you may polka if you vwant.

(someone else again:)That's not what it says on this datapile...

Nonzsensz! zthisz is a racist attack on zthe truthz. You there. (with calculated calmness)Withz the robotz head, please to make an AI to correct zthis error Through out zthe whole cortex, and protect againszt similar schmeres in dthe futur. ThankYouForThat. I have zsome other important expermentsz to attend.
What isz your proposal.exzacltly?

"How do those lasers even function? The agitation in the neutronium coolant solution is way off."

VWe arez Goblins, we don't have anyzthing new.

"You are an interesting creature" Egg says straching his head with one of his hands while another taps his chin, another is on his hip and the other is fiddling with a hem. All while he gazes hard at the tall goblin wondering what exactly he is trying to convey.

"You are an interesting creature" Egg says straching his head with one of his hands ...

Instead of taking your hand, he clicks his heals together and bows slightly at the waist You may find me interezsting now, but I am zsaving up to be eccentric... HowRudeOvfMe, you may addressz me asz Docktor Pantz. My research has already diszcovered your identities.

"I can't tell if diagnosing insanity in goblins results in all false positives or all false negatives... if you're keeping him you're feeding him and walking him. "

"Oldtronium?" The android's circuits dimmed as she processed. "But that would never work, it'd cause too much of a magnetic variance in the multiphasic resistance flux...UNLESS you degaussed the dorsal muon laser manifold. Oh that's GENIUS!"

Handsome raises an eyebrow as a big smile forms on his face. He reverts back to his normal voice and replies:

"Hi Doc Pantz! Call me Handsome! Now, while I'm a big believer in the lickit first salvage rule, you might have trouble enforcing your claim. Considering this ship isn't flight-worthy, you're not gonna be able to fly off with this ship as your prize. And most likely, Absalom authorities will not recognize your claim. You stay here and they'll probably just shoot you when they arrive. Trust me. I've been to Absalom. I know it for a fact. They LOVE shooting goblins!!!

"So here's what we CAN offer. We're on board to determine what happened to the crew. You and your friend there come and help us and we'll cut you in on the pay we're owed for this job. What do you think? Coming with us and getting paid is better than getting shot dead later. Do we have an accordion?"

Hi-C leans his pike against the wall, shoulders his artillery laser, and quadruple facepalms.

"That is true the Doctor, the Absalomites seem to think goblins make great targets for target practice." He says folding his lower arms and then rubs his chin with ease.

"Maybe we should continue on and see if we can figure out a way around these dogs and get this train a moving"

Hi-C nudges Egg and whispers, "Probly wanna avoid usin' the 'D' word for a bit, boss..."

"Don't let them scare you, when you properly include such factors as 'rate of agitation', Goblins are only shot at 12% more than average."

As our group of Starfinders meets the goblin with the strange accent, Generic goblin continues to devour as much food as he can, and only when no more food is presented, does he finally pass out with a loud belch while curling up in a semi cute way.

feel free to keep the role playing going with your new party member; in the mean time though, what room will you be checking out next?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 would be my vote ^_^

But my vote doesn't count >.>

Hi-C readies his weapons again and looks to the remaining doors.

"A'ight, doctor, since you know this ship inside and out, what's behind those doors?"

I only really know my way to the fuel tanksz und engin...
Have you heardz of "Inszurance"?

"Sure have. Costs two arms and a leg. Not interested."

"Why they are not really Dogs but they are similar...Oh you mean as an agitating word which seems to make goblines mad..gotcha" He says winking as he falls in line.

"Insurance is sometimes a scam, my group used to sell insurance on our products which relayed to a group of skittermander operators..which as you know talk incredibly fast in high pitched voices. Most people either laughed themselves off the phone or broke their communicators." he says holding up his insurance card."Mine though is from Gold Key and Gold Shield the number one insurance of Abdarcorp!"

"I know we're traveling with goblins now but thats a level of evil i hesitate to bring back to absolom station "

Hi-C smirks.

"You think they'll cover space worms as a 'pre-existing condition'?"

He will slowly and methodically examine rooms in numerical order unless something jumps out or someone otherwise suggests differently.

"So Doc Pantz, wanna come with?"

Handsome follows along as the group examines the rooms.

I forget, did we figure out if those demon dogs have any particular weaknesses?

Xot winces and giggles at the thought of Skittermander tech support

Vwurmsz? Are youz in need ofv medickal iszpection?
placing a hand on a small medkit.I have a fair chance at being able to help,
zcertainly I will, (no accent)"Come With"(accent resumes). I muszt look after mine zspace zship.

GM,
please assume I use my stealth to my best advantage as we explore the ship. In general I will attempt to snipe in combat. If engaged in meele I will use my knife (until I find something better) and spiffy operative sneak attack for which I am allowed to make a stealth check with an additional plus one for a total of +13.

While searching through the ship Hi-C occasionally itches his bite wounds. At the doctor's mention of "inspection", Hi-C does a double take with some serious side-eye.

"I'ma pass. Thanks. At least until we find a better scalpel than a plastic shiv."

"Hi-C, quit scratching and pay attention or you'll have more worms to scratch at." DR34-M12 quietly snapped at the Kasatha as she moved in to cover behind him, rifle at the ready. "So Dr. Pantz, your rifle looks hand made as well."

As the hallway continues past the interesection, you see two doors on your right and 1 door on your left. Starting with the doors on the right:

Crew quarter 3: this room looks much like the previous 2 crew’s quarters you’ve seen. This one has a strawberry machine cake poster on the wall advertising a new single coming out. While Hi-C and DR34-M12 admire it, Handsome Gob is unable to see it behind the pair but he does see a key card halfway hidden under some soiled clothes.

Crew quarter 4: the final crew quarter is a match to the first 3 to no surprise. This one however is very clean and almost has a spartan lifestyle feel to it. DR34-M12 finds a credstick with 500 credits on it in one of the drawers.

Storage: As Hi-C opens the door to the left he immediately realizes he has made a mistake. There’s a motion sensor right in front of him and a laser is blasting in his direction!

Jury-Rigged Laser Blast Trap: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 203d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1, 5) + 1 = 9

The laser hits the Kasatha right in the gut, burning much more that dragon chive pretzels ever did. Luckily the laser does not seem to have a reset and the action is over as soon as it starts.

This room is clearly another hold, however it seems reserved for the crews personal mining and prospecting tools and others supplies. Inside you find more another 1 bulk of the noqual shards. In addition to the shards you find: a disruptive fusion seal (5th), 2 mk 1 serums of healing, and 3 medpatches.

@Handsome Gob, not sure if you found a weakness, but anyone who wants to roll another life science check can now that you’ve encountered several more.

@schMarti Pantz, I’ll keep that in mind, if you click on the maps link in my header you’ll find a marching order slide. I’ve placed you at the very back but if you would prefer even farther back or a different spot the slides should be editable.

"That does not look good Hi-C, You should see the medic when we get back to the station, those pretzels seem to have given you a bad case of the laser burns!" He says from the back, peering over the shoulders of the others.
