GM Friendly Sauce’s Dead Suns

Game Master friendly sauce

Haha yeah rolling might be helpful.

Medicine: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Handsome can see that the corpse died of woulds that look suspiciously like tentacle dog bites.

DR34-M12 can confirm this and also can determine that the man was not infected with the akatas’ void death. In fact, this crew member was lucky—he most likely died of his wounds shortly after the crew retreated here.

"Doesn't look like the bad boy parasites were able to gestate. Good thing, I don't want to fight any more of those. Hopefully the rest of the crew died from their wounds or the android."

"Neat."

Hi-C starts climbing down the next passage, lighting the way with his armor's comm unit.

Hi-C leads the group through the tunnel that open to another larger cavern. Four tunnels exit this cavern to the north, south, east, and west. Strangely, however, while the south and west passages are hewn rock, the north and east passages are finished and lined with some sort of polished, metallic plating on the walls, floors, and ceiling.

There is also another member of the acreon in the room. The prospector is wearing a space suit, but the lower half of its helmet is shattered, and a repulsive, bloated blue-gray “tongue” hangs from the remnants of the zombie’s lower jaw—the feeding tendril of the larval akata inside. It is currently crawling on the wall almost adjacent to Hi-C.

Initiative round 1:

schMarti Pantz
Handsome Gob
DR34-M12
Egg
Void Zombie
Hi-C
Justin

Bold may act

Egg a little perturbed with not getting any shots off save the initial sets off his magic missile spell.

missile 1: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
missile 2: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
missile 3: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

@Egg, you do not have line of sight. Please look at the map before posting in combat.

Oops. then I will wait until it gets out to where I can see it.

Edit

Egg looks over the shoulders of others waiting to unleash his magical fury as soon as the fiend shows himself.

Handsome moves in and yells, "Get that over-achieving lollipop licker!!"

Move action for 15 feet and puts get 'em on the zombie.

"Nice alliteration Handsome." DR34-M12 laughed out as the android followed behind the goblin and opened fire on the bad boy spawn.

Pulsecaster Rifle, EAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Electric, Nonlethal: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Crit: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Move action to move half speed and standard action to attack.

I move up to get a shot.
If we're still moving at half speed that's a double move.

as soon as I am able I will shoot the new sniper rifle at the void zombie

Initiative round 1:

schMarti Pantz
Handsome Gob
DR34-M12
Egg
Void Zombie
Hi-C
Justin

Bold may act

DR34-M12 fires and hits the Void Zombie right in the head and the electricity courses through its tongue but it seems unaffected!

The creature skitters along the wall, next to Hi-C, and lashes out with its ugly tongue!

Tongued-ya: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Fortunately for the already infected bartender, the tongue is not able to connect this time.

Initiative round 1 and start of 2:

Round 2
schMarti Pantz
Handsome Gob
DR34-M12
Egg
Void Zombie
Hi-C
Justin

Bold may act

Egg moves up behind Hi-C and looks to spot the attacker. After seeing it he lets loose two missiles

Missile 1: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Missile 2: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Handsome moves further into cave room clearing up space for others and draws his semi-automatic pistol at the same time.

Then he yells to the party, "Put that zombie thing down before it tongues ya!! Errr...ahem... Unless you like that sort of thing, in which case, hit it and I bet it'll target you for a lovely, lovely tongue-ing!!!"

Get 'em placed on the zombie.

Handsome says to Dreamz, "Looks like that thing is either immune to electricity or its already dead-ish so non-lethal damage isn't going to do anything to it..."

DR34-M12 dropped her rifle and drew her laser pistol. "Let's see if it's immune to lasers!" The android yelled as she opened fire.

Laser pistol, Azimuth, EAC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 24
Fire: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Drop rifle as free action, draw laser pistol as move action, standard action to attack.

I'm going to give Justin and Hi-C till tonight to Bot them, and will just take their action into account before the rest of yours.

"Wait... Is this what happens when the worms..."

Hi-C blinks.

"Oh HELLS no!"

Full Attack.

Tactical Pike vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 4 = 19
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Tactical Pike vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 4 = 15
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Public Service Announcement that Coordinated Shot is in effect ^_^

"I'm sure eventually it explodes out of the corpse and eats the bits for nutrients."

"Not helping!" he shouts between strikes.

"Like one of those old Science Fiction movies about aliens..something something morph!"He says looking at the creature.

Handsome excitedly chimes in, "Oh right!! And the host doesn't die right away. Instead, the host suffers crazy amounts of pain as the host sees the alien burst out of his chest!!! GNARLY!!!!"

This would be about the time that the totally ineffective Goblin Sniper Rampage goes off.

botting Justin, no post within 24 hours.

Justin flies right into the cavern and fires a shot at the ugly undead,

Shoot!: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 1 = 121d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

but his bullet misses the mark.

Hi-C is able to pierce the undead with each of his strikes though, leaving 2 gaping holes in its center mass.

That is the end of round 1; Beginning of round 2:

schMarti, moves into the room and attempts to fire his sniper at the undead. unfortunately, he didn't get enough time to get familiar with it and thought the trigger was the safety. he misses his shot.

Handsome wisely puts some distance between himself and the beast, while motivating his crew to put it down swiftly.

After seeing the ineffectiveness of her pulse caster, DR34-M12 pulls her pistol and fires it square on the zombie.

Egg squeezes in right behind Hi-C, almost too close for comfort, and out of the corner of his eye he sees the tongue lashing around and looses 2 missiles that hit the mouth and cave in the head of the Void Zombie as it loses all unlife and floats in the chamber.

COMBAT OVER

What do you do now?

DR34-M12 picked her rifle off the ground and shouldered it. "Hopefully the rest of the crew is spread out like that and we don't have to bust in to a room full of zombies. I should build a laser rifle. Something with a little more kick."

I saw we check out the room to the north and go from there.

Hi-C clutches his head with two of his hands.

"Hey... Guys... I don't feel so..."

And then he starts to convulse, his pike twirling around unstably towards...

1-Handsome, 2-Egg, 3-Justin, 4-Dreams: 1d4 ⇒ 1 Handsome!

He lunges forward, his face in front of Handsome's, before his eyes roll back in his head. He grabs the goblin and pulls him close.

"Nev-Never forget," he coughs, a bit of drool dripping out of the corner of his mouth, "if-if I become one of those zombies..."

And then he straightens up and locks eyes with Handsome.

"...I'm eating you, first."

Then he lets go of Handsome and nods to DR34-M12.

"Ayup. Let's keep movin'."

"Uhhhh... O-okay big guy..." Handsome continues to follow Hi-C but not quite as closely as before.

The northern corridor goes in a perfectly straight line for about 100 feet until it ends at a hole facing the void of space. It looks like the hole would be all but impossible to notice from the outside however. The walls of this passage are finished and lined with some sort of polished, metallic plating on the walls, floors, and ceiling.

engineering: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Do I get any further details?

Engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Lifde Science: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Egg examines the Substance with a clever eye, he looks over to Hi-C and smiles.

"If you become one of those we will just toss you into a watered down bag of pretzels. I figured you'd be okay with dying in that fashion." He does this while he grabs one of the knives he had taken and looks for a weak spot in the plating to take a sample and test it later.Hoping to find one small enough to take and test.

"Yes I TOLD you that would happen. What part of..." justin launches into the same rapidfire chatter that goes outside of nonysoki hearing that he used when dangled off the ground that he used before "Did you not understand? Egg beaters not looking so bad now is it?"

"I said, 'I'll be fine'. Spray some chem, pop a few pills, stab the bad guys, rake in the dough."

As the group continues down the corridor, Hi-C attempts to change the subject. He raps his pike against the metallic wall.

"Uhhh, I ain't no scientist, or asteroid miner, but this doesn't belong here, right?"

Engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

"WHAT!?" The android exclaimed as she finished her analysis, her circuits glowing bright with excitement. "I can't identify the substance but it has a structural makeup similar to that of adamantine alloy. This is an incredible find! And to have this much of it lining a hallway...this just gets more and more interesting. I can't wait to see what else is waiting for us!"

Let's peek in to the room to the South then down the ceramic hallway to the East.

"Well good news for the miners. A mineral is a solid inorganic substance of natural occurrence. These are clearly manufactured. "

Let's peek in to the room to the South then down the ceramic hallway to the East.

Sounds good to me.

4 thumbs up ^_^

"Any chance we can take a break? My ears are still ringing from that shot to the head. "

I'm gonna assume by peek you meant stealth?

DR34-M12 stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

DR34-M12 creeps through the tunnel to the south and sees that tunnel opens up into another chamber, this one bigger than any you've seen so far. The cavern looks as nondescript as the others except for an incongruous door, more akin to what one would expect to find on a space station, stands in the south wall;

Although the zombie flails it head about in every way and seems to pass over her, it doesn't seem to have noticed.

"A rest would be nice, As to replenish ourselves and maybe eat"

"'Eat?' You been holding out on me, Boss?"

"We've got another zombified crew member over here. Hi-C, you're up, plus I've still got food if you're hungry." DR34-M12 whispered over the comms.

"Yes the standard nutrient bars, nothing fancy no real flavor but provides with enough nutrients for a day, great for long bouts of book and info sphere research as well as magical experimenting" he says

"Egg, we totally have to have an info sphere research session later. "

"Yes I need to research more on the possible uses for harvested hard solar matter from the sun. Think it might be useful for magical research and crafting." He says nonchalantly as he looks to the others then back to the hallway.

"If we stop to rest should we make some sort of defensive measures against these abominations"He flourishes his word by poking the corpse with his club.

Sounds like you are opting to take 10?

I'm sorry, didn't realize we were waiting on me. I'm fine with pulling back and taking a short rest. A 10 on stealth is fine.

My mistake, I should have been specific haha. I assume (and now confirm?) you will take a 10 minute rest.

luckily the 10 minutes passes without incident. are you guys planning on fighting the 2 zombies next?

I vote we fight the zombies. Don't want those sneaking up on us.

Hi-C stood guard while everyone else rested ^_^

Is the plan standard marching order right into D5?

Yep, I would say so. Although I'd say we attempt to move in with stealth to see if we can get a shot in first? Would you mind rolling a group stealth for us all to see if we can pull off a surprise attack?
