A 13 KAC will just miss justin behind the cover of HiC

Justins going to just keep pushing...

The sniper has the precise shot special ability, which as I now research, I can't find it anywhere other than the statblock on the AP so I'll share that with you.

Precise Shot (Ex) When making a ranged attack, Sniper ignores the target’s AC bonuses from cover or partial cover (but not improved or total cover).

from what I understand it looks like Hi-C does not provide cover against ranged attacks from this enemy.

Boot clamps and zero G. Could we go on the underside of the tow line to to block the sniper's line of fire? Not certain how large that is. Also, it looks like a move action to fling yourself off solid objects and keep moving half your speed. Would DR34-M12 be able to fling and aim towards the entrance or some other safe(ish) landing zone? I imagine there is a check involved in there somewhere.

"The ONE time I need your enormous backside for something... "

I'd like to make a double move at full speed.
At the end I lift up my legs so that I get a free 70' move at the beginning of my next turn.
"Zis is called Schpaze Zerphingk!"
(if needed)acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

@DR34-M12 that would be a correct assumption, this tow cable is about 3 feet in diameter so it is possible to gain cover if you move to another side of the cable while climbing.

"Hmm Curious." He says continuing down the line following the others.

"To think that is the way to negotiate this with this shooter to stop shooting at us is to insult him."

Handsome will continue spending a full action to move forward a total of 30 ft, assuming Hi-C is still leading the charge in front!

"The ONE time I need your enormous backside for something... "

"Hey, right now that's prime worm real estate. Gimme another day to evict the tenants and you can have it all to yourself."

Hi-C pulls out his artillery laser and readies to take a shot if he sees one.

(nothing much else I can do while I'm being piloted, I assume...)

"There is never a bad time to correct someone's misunderstanding of the laws of the universe! "

Botting Egg since no post in 24 hours. He will attempt to double move each round

Egg Athletics round 1: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Egg Athletics round 2: 1d20 ⇒ 1

In round 1 Egg is easily able to shimmy down the cable but in round 2 he almost loses his grip and can only cling to the cable.

INITIATIVE ROUND 2 :

schMarti Pantz
Handsome Gob
DR34-M12
Justin
Egg
Sniper!!!
Hi-C

the sniper takes another shot at Justin as they begin to close on in on the opening on the rock.

Precise shot Pew: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 241d10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

the shot burns right through whatever armor Justin is wearing and, even in space, Hi-C can smell the burnt flesh and fur; Hi-C also lets a shot off as soon as the sniper shows itself and even with the cover Hi-C' shot connects and hits the sniper, causing it to flee farther down into the tunnel and out of sight for now.

INITIATIVE ROUND 3:

schMarti Pantz
Handsome Gob
DR34-M12
Justin -16
Egg
Hi-C
Sniper!!! -5

Everyone can act!

I get 70' free move from space surfing.
acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16to "Land"
Then stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
remember I have dark vision, do I see 'em?

I get 70' free move from space surfing.

[dice=acrobatics]1d20+10to "Land"
Then [dice=stealth]1d20+12
remember I have dark vision, do I see 'em?

You should probably re-read the zero-g rules. It's a full round to move 30ft, and you are using clamps to stay on the line. You can't run at full speed in 0g and just lift your legs. You also need cover to stealth.

DR34-M12 maneuvers herself so the tow line is between her and the sniper while continuing to move forward.

Oops didnt know I needed a check. I was gonna try and take my time moving. Even under fire

Handsome will continue doing what he's been doing. Spend the entire turn moving down the line to the rock!

@shMarti, Just to make sure we are on the same page: round 1 you fired, round 2 you took a double move and let go. I assumed you meant a double climb, which at 30ft of movement a double climb would put you at 30 ft from your round 1 location. If you let go at the end of round 2 you would only move 30ft, and that movement isn't free, its all you can do without propulsion in spaces you at the start of round 3, whether you let go or not really, you are 90ft from your start position. I've labeled them 1-3 on the map for reference.

Now if you do let go, then you wouldn't have gotten the clamp bonus and the climb check would become DC10 instead of DC5 so I would need to have you roll that if you want to attempt to the free float.

@Egg, the DC with boot clamps provided by armor is 5, as far as I could tell you don't have an athletics score so you will need to roll to move, specifically because you are under fire. it doesnt look like you have a penalty so the worst thing that could happen is you would make not progress, but because movement is not guaranteed, I need the check. You do still have your round 3 actions though.

"Just toss me in there. I can shoot and climb at the same time."

Athletics, if necessary: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Shot, if presented: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 vs EAC
Fire Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 10

" SONOFATAILIFTING.." the radio refuses to transmit the rest of what the ratfolk is saying, as he's swearing badly enough to offend the goblins.

" Its not like I have a better spot to hide until we get to the asteroid anyway "

Justin will fly Hi c 20 feet forward, pushing him almost at the cave. Newton should do the rest. Then he's going to fly 20 feet up the fluffy bunny death rock and put himself out of the way of the shots ( I saw the guy before and i think he's IN the cave? If he's outside it i'll just fly inside instead: since the only thing that slows them down is 10 feet of rock apparently thats what i'm looking to get between me and him)

tldr: standard action push Hi C in his direction move action move in NOT his direction.

Hi-C arrives at the mouth of the cave and is able to to grab onto the wall, the surface is rough enough to provide plenty of handholds however the caver is completely dark so unless Hi-C has a way to illuminate his way he sees nothing.

@Justin, you are sure the sniper was coming from inside the cavern, you were close enough to be sure that they fled inside once you and Hi-C got close enough.

INITIATIVE ROUND 3:

schMarti Pantz

DR34-M12

Egg
Hi-C

the Sniper takes their turn and uses actions

INITIATIVE ROUND 4:

schMarti Pantz
Handsome Gob
DR34-M12
Justin -16
Egg Egg, you have actions in round 3 and round 4
Hi-C
Sniper!!! -5

Justins going to token spell Hi C's pike to shed dim light in a 30 foot radius , then spit his lemon flavored healing serum into his hand and drop prone behind the biggest depression he can find.

Oh wait, been distracted with real life, I forgot to inspiring boost Justin. Can I do that now? If so, then I'll boost him for 7sp and then move 15'

"Seems the snipers hate you but everyone's gotta admit, you are amazingly graceful in space!"

Once in the cave, Hi-C will let loose of his artillery laser and draw his magically illuminated pike while heading directly towards the sniper, his arms and legs sprawled out like a humanoid scorpion closing in on prey.

Athletics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

If it just appears to be a scared miner, he'll stop there, and act all intimaidating. If it looks like the waiter at an all-you-can-eat cemetery, he's thrusting his pike forward.

Either a Stab or an AoO, depending on actions remaining: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Piercing Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

@Handsome Gob, Of course, he was attacked within your last turn so you can inspire him now.

@Hi-C, once Justin lights up your pike you see a narrow cavern that goes along about 20 feet and then a passage branches off to the.... well you'll call it north for now. a move action climb on the walls will get you to right where it branches off, as you look down what you can see of each path, you don't see the sniper. Which direction do you head?

@Justin, the astroid is suprisingly unblemished for such a large chunk of rock that was traveling through space, however you are able to find at least a not terrible place to drink your serum.

Whatever.
I get to the asteroid as quickly as I can and then I hide.

Egg keeps moving forward trying more to get ahead then really focus on the firefight.

Athletics: 1d20 ⇒ 18

round 4

Athletics: 1d20 ⇒ 17

I plant myself at the branch, and wait for the party to catch up. If someone jumps out at me, I go that way.

[open comm] "Hey look, I doubt whatever rifle you got has enough rounds for all of us. And my boss's magic doesn't miss. Come on out if you know what's good for you."

DR34-M12 will continue to move down the tow line. "Don't get drawn too far from the group. Does anyone have sensors on the sniper?"

"Yeah. I'm sensin' some bullshit. First that Necroglider, and now this. Someone really doesn't want us out here."

"Yeah but who? And why the relatively mild measures?"

"Yeah but who? And why the relatively mild measures?"

Justins come appears to be open but only a random series of bleeps is heard

INITIATIVE ROUND 4:

Justin starts to drink his potion, realizes its hard to drink in space, then Just uses his ability to fly to do cartwheels in place using centrifical force to drive the potion down his gullet.

Next time he'll put the potion in a capri sun pack.

mk 1 healing serum: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Handsome keeps moving forward at top speed!
I believe this will now put handsome at the opening of the cave?

As a move action, you can use Perception to search for something in particular, such as finding an invisible creature that has made itself known or a hidden creature you know is in the area

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

"Pleasure to have you join us!"

Egg continues to climb along the line towards the rock.

athletics: 1d20 ⇒ 7

DR34-M12 moved in to cover (if available) near Hi-C as she performed a sensor sweep.

Move action to move up behind Hi-C, another move action to make a perception check.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

I'm gonna assume schMarti continues along the cable.

Hi-C and DR34-M12 do not notice anything unusual about the fork in the cavern and there is no response from their assailant. the rest of the team makes their progress on the cable or with the serum.

INITIATIVE ROUND 5:

"Alrighty. Looks like we gotta do this the hard way. You go down the right, and I'll go down the left. When I scream, you come rescue me."

Egg continues to move down the cable.

Athletics: 1d20 ⇒ 14
Athletics: 1d20 ⇒ 19

"Alright, stay in radio contact and be careful. This is usually the part of the vid where the space knights get picked off. The android replied as she went down the right path, her sensors sweeping for threats.

Move action to go down the left path, move action perception check. Sticking to cover when she can, even if it means not going full movement.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

What's the gravity of the situation?
I mean, what is movement like on the asteroid?

I would really like to find a relatively safe place and do some analysis of the asteroid. Is it especially hard or dense? What is it made of, and does it have any special properties?
PhsySci: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
random knowing-it-all: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 (or more)

I'd like to take the dice out for coffee, find out why they hate me, and maybe find some common ground

@schMarti, the gravity is zero G and movement in or on the astroid will follow those rules. the astroid does appear rough enough to provide handholds for crawling around if you don't have a method of propulsion. as for the Physical Science check, a purely visual inspection tells you that it is definitely made of some sort of rock. The ships scans were unable to determine the composition of the astroid however.

Justin will superman his way in behind the group going prone against the floor

I've looked at the zero-g rules and I don't quite understand our current situation. It mentions handholds with respect to climb speeds but I don't believe we have a climb speed. Do we just assume that with the handholds, we can continue to move at half our normal movement?

Handsome moves up behind Hi-C, pulling out his pistol and readies an action to shoot anything hostile that appears from either tunnel!

@handsome, That's my understanding of it. because almost all armor has boot clamps the handholds make it very easy and i'm thinking you can move at half speed with no check if you are in armor.

Once with the group Egg looks about the rock and begins to look about."Interesting Rock..." As he ponders he pipes in on the comm.

"Excuse me Sniper Person, I have to ask but are you with the Aceron, If so we have taken the ship back form those things! It is safe to return we can treat you there if need be. If not then skulking about on a rock isn't worth the credits, if you are dead So hold your fire and come out so we can discuss this peaceably"

Bluff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

"'Honest Egg', we call this guy. You can trust us."

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

You hear a snort and huff on the comms after Egg and Hi-C make their plea, "Wooooowwww... you guys really think I'm one of the crew of that pile of rust?" a low, probably female voice responds.

"Either that, or one of the crew of that pile of ashes. Doesn't make a difference to me. Just stop f!&*ing shooting at us."
