GM Friendly Sauce’s Dead Suns

Game Master friendly sauce

Justin looks at dreamer
"Let history note I'm officially blaming YOU for this..."

the only think you can find about Imura is that it was a mining operation that mostly operated in the Diaspora but records seem to indicated they went belly up decades ago.

Hi-C leads the team downhill towards the pile. This expansive alcove is devoid of the silvery ash that’s prevalent elsewhere on the asteroid, but it has the appearance of a gruesome graveyard. Several discarded corpses lie here—some that look just a few days old, and some that are rotting with the telltale signs of weeks, if not months, of decay.

medicine: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

" Yeah, these guys were tortued alive and then implanted with something " any idea if that SOMETHING has already hatched into skreelings? "Think we got enough atmo to burn these or.. hello "

takes out the loot

"Lot of credsticks here. We could take em back to absolom to ID them... "

Rover looks over the bodies and strokes his chin.'Hmm wonder if any of my former crew is in here" he jokes, before turning back around.

"So I doubt maybe this place is what we are looking for? I mean a body dump isn't anything special." he continues as he pulls out his flasks and drinks.

"The examination of the remains may tell us a great deal about what made them, which in turn helps us not join them. Whatever killed them enjoyed torturing and maiming. Indicating that our unreformed cultists are nearby. And something took advantage of the bodies to procreate. Since the only thing we've seen here are the skreelings, which are the juvinile form of the species, there is probably a bigger one around here close by."

bluffcheck: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

Justins going all world of nature right now but after digging through pile of torture victims he's about 2 seconds from his detachment breaking and going all blue screen. He holds out the gloves of storing without really caring who grabs them.

"Neat."

Rover has Quickdraw, so the glove isn't terribly useful for him, but Dreamz could probably benefit from it the most: Swift Action draw weapon, Move Action Tracking, Standard Action Overcharge.

Would also help Hi-C shift stuff between his hands. Coincidentally the sniper rifle fits in there.

Handsome doesn't need it. So all yours or Dreamz's!

It is a Magic Item. How many do you have already, Dreamz? Hi-C just has his Starfinder Backpack.

I should only have my Starfinder backpack as well. It would definitely be nice to have a quick on/off button for my rifle, but I feel like Hi-C does more weapon switching so would probably put it to better use.

Once your done with the body pile are you heading to the cave with the ominous green glow, or the lower path to the east?

Once your done with the body pile are you heading to the cave with the ominous green glow, or the lower path to the east?

Due to the green hue, Handsome misinterprets ominous as warm and fuzzy instead.

"Mmmm.... Green... So pretty...." says Handsome as he slowly shuffles towards the cave.

Dreamz follows behind their fearless captain, rifle at the ready.

Seems a good time to remind everyone that armor environmental protections grant immunity to low level radiation and a +4 circumstance bonus on higher levels.

" Well have fun playing with the rotten and forgotten, gotta keep up with the Captian, or you know they die, So have fun Cheeks" he says drawing his weapons and heading towards the cave explorers

"Sure, just let me find another 5 thousand credits in the lost and found bin and then i'll be right behind you... Thanks for climbing through the pile of creepy murder incubator corpses Justin. Thanks for doubling my net worth Justin.. grumble... "

"You do know that you are talking about sifting through the dead, rotting corpses and have yet to wash yourself...I mean the smell and the diseases alone." He says shaking his head as he moves about unencumbered to catch up.

"You do know that you are talking about sifting through the dead, rotting corpses and have yet to wash yourself...I mean the smell and the diseases alone." He says shaking his head as he moves about unencumbered to catch up.

Justin hops along behind, snapping his fingers and running a token spell over his armor and more exposed parts "That'll have to do. Least till i can get to your shower "

"Good I don't want you to die from disease" he says chuckling.

While Justin finished tokening the viscera off himself, Handome begins approaching the pretty green glow in the cave....

This isolated grotto is dotted with piles of silvery ash. To the northwest, a low shelf of rock dams a pool of thick greenish liquid. A humanoid body in torn robes with one arm chewed off is ominously propped against the ledge.

The piles of ash are difficult terrain and are marked with the red lines, not all the of each square is difficult so I tried to draw it out as such. We'll go into init now since it will matter soon.

INITIATIVE ROUND 1:

Rover
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C
???????
Justin

BOLD MAY ACT!!!!

Hi-C moves up in front of Handsome.

"Thaaat's far enough. Gotta have more than two arms to ride this attraction."

He then summons the sniper rifle to his free hand and goes into Total Defense (+4 AC).

Shield, Curve Blade, Curve Blade, Sniper Rifle.

Trusting Hi-C's instincts, Handsome looks around...
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

"Did you get a scan of something Hi-C?" Dreamz asked as she took up position next to the Kasatha.

BOTTING ROVER:

Rover moves closer to the cave with his weapons drawn at the ready taking a look around.

Perception : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Handsome and Rover both look around the cavern, but see little more than dust, rocks and the green glow coming from behind a rock grotto that is about 5 feet tall, and the one armed corpse is propped against it.

INITIATIVE ROUND 1:

Rover
DR34-M12

Justin

BOLD MAY ACT!!!!

"Did you get a scan of something Hi-C?"

"Naw. Just thinkin' that if I was a small predator, I wouldn't be attackin' live prey when there's easy pickin's over here. Unless this kill already belongs to somethin' bigger."

Move another 20 feet, Total Defense for +4 AC.

Justins going to shuffle up to the corner and drop down on all fours.

Reminder to everyone that if you are adjacent to Hi-C and take damage from anything other than a spell, I can spend my reaction to take half that damage.

Rover crotches and begins to test the ash before them to see if there are any traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

"Psst. Zipper's undone."

Reminder to everyone that if you are adjacent to Hi-C and take damage from anything other than a spell, I can spend my reaction to take half that damage.

Still sticking with the tree.... now upgraded to a rock.

Handsome just stands out in the open, wide-eyed. "The greeeeeeeen... It's sooooo preeeeetty....."

"Tough break Rover he's moved on. But we all knew you were out of your league "

Dreamz moved closer to the source of the glowing light, keeping along the wall for cover. "This is just like the scene in Return of the Radioactive Dead where the radioactive dead return."

"Ever seen the parody? It's this meme with a zombie tryin' to exchange clothes for the right size. Always makes me chuckle."

Every one cautiously approaches the interior of the cavern, well, except Handsome who strolls right in fixated on the glow.

Rover notices a manhole almost entirely covered in space dust. marked with an X on the map.

INITIATIVE ROUND 2:

Rover
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C

Everyone hears the sound of something splashing as you look and see a large creature move from a ledge to the green glow, which now sounds like it could be liquid.

INITIATIVE ROUND 2 and 3:

Rover
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C
???????
Justin

BOLD MAY ACT!!!!

Rover begins walking casually towards the glowing green liquid!!!!!

to clarify, You saw somthing that was previously camouflaged in the rocks basically break camo and dive into the pool of acid, where it then gained permanent concealment and you can't see it anymore.

Justin starts summoning in an earth elemental
"I'll be able to fish his equipment out at least... "

Hi-C miniaturizes the sniper rifle again, grabs a grenade from his bandolier, and tosses it in the green goop.

"Maybe this'll knock some sense into him."

Mk1 Shock Grenade, 20ft range: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 4 = 21
Electricity, 15ft explosion: 1d8 ⇒ 7

1 Grenade Remaining.

You all hear a roar and see tentacles writhe out over the rocks holding the acid back.

reflex : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

INITIATIVE ROUND 2 and 3:

Rover
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C
??????? -7
Justin

BOLD MAY ACT!!!!

Rover continues moving towards the goo, as he begins to bring his hands to his head and groaning."STOOOPPPPP"

Raising his laser rifle, Handsome says, "That's one thing I love about you guys. Something moves and what do we do? We throw grenades and shoot it before we actually figure out what it is. Kekeke!"

Handsome cackles as you would normally expect a goblin to cackle.

Life Science to identify creature: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Handsome then moves to take cover behind some rocks and readies his laser rifle to attack if the creature attacks any of the team.

Dreamz moved to stop Rover. "This is not the time to go swimming!"

Handsome sees a large creature with tentacles, spikes, and teeth but isn't able to properly ID it while DR34-M12 calls out helplessly to Rover.

INITIATIVE ROUND 3:

Rover
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C
??????? -7
Justin

BOLD MAY ACT!!!!

Two tentacles fly out of the acid pit, lashing at Rover!

Tentacle w/grab vs KAC: 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 15 - 4 = 141d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Tentacle w/grab vs KAC: 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 15 - 4 = 291d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

the first one misses, awakening Rover to the danger of his position, right as the second wraps itself around him squeezing tightly! Rover is grappled by the tentacles!

INITIATIVE ROUND 3 and 4:

Rover -15, Grappled
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C
??????? -7
Justin

BOLD MAY ACT!!!!

Hi-C sees the tentacles erupt from the pit, and he reflexively shouts out, "DOG!"

He then performs a charging leap up to the ledge of the pit and brings his Curve Blade down on the beastly canine.

Athletics: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 14 - 2 = 17 (I believe that's up to ten feet vertical)

Curve Blade vs KAC: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 - 2 = 15
Slashing Damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

–2 AC from Charging.

life science: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Earthy pops into existance under the things tentacles, in between rover and the... thing. Rumbles Gonna be one of THOSE days...

Melee slam: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

..and forms out of the ground with a HADOOOKEN uppercutting the thing in its... something.

Justin moves a little closer

"strafinfs a lot easier without a tail in the way..."

cryo rifle attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

HA... and they thought hooking up call of duty: attack of the swarm to a treadmill would never amount to anything..

"Everything's possible in low gravity."

Hi-C leaps up 5 feet onto the ledge and sees a tentacles monstrosity bathing in the acid, with a tentacle wrapped around Rover! He tries to cut off a tentacle but misses his slash! The Earth elemental appears at the edge of the rock, near the acid and slams down, smashing one of its other tentacles and Justin is able to hit it with a shot from his cryo rifle.

Is the Earth Elemental Immune to acid?

Justin has never seen one of these before in his life but thanks to identifying the screelings earlier he is able to deduce that his must be a skreesire!!!

INITIATIVE ROUND 4:

Rover -15, Grappled
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C
Skreesire -25
Justin

BOLD MAY ACT!!!!

Is there any particular element that works well on it?

earthy is not immune to acid.

"Why does it always have to be dogs?" Dreamz sighed as she spooled up her Exocortex and fired an overcharged shot at the creature.

Move action Combat Tracking, standard action overcharge.

Laser Rifle vs EAC; CT: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 = 18
Fire; Overcharge: 2d6 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 6) + (2) + 5 = 14
