GM Friendly Sauce’s Dead Suns

Game Master friendly sauce

Is there any particular element that works well on it?

Nothing works better than the other but, obviously, it's immune to acid damage. And that actually reminds me, Earthy's attack was not as effective as previously stated; Your pretty sure you remember hearing about how cold iron is best to deal with skreesires if your attacking Kinetically.

DR34-M12 fires up her combat tracking and takes a shot but just barely misses the beast, which certainly isn't anything resembling a dog....

NPC slides are updated with Skreesire!

So Did I snap outta it?

yes as soon as you were grappled, but now your grappled...

DR34-M12 fires up her combat tracking and takes a shot but just barely misses the beast, which certainly isn't anything resembling a dog....

"Everybody kill what is OBVIOUSLY an acid-drinking DAAAAWGGGG!!! And maybe try not to hit dog-man Rover... but only if you feel like it."

Handsome then tries to fake out the creature by pretending to throw a bone for it to fetch...

Clever Feint, Bluff: 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 14 + (6) = 27
Get 'em applied and target flat-footed to all if Clever Feint successful.

"Good call, Cap. If it falls for it, it's clearly a dog."

The skreesire tightens its grip around Rover as its head darts across the cavern, trying to track what it thinks Handsome Threw.

Seeing as this is potentially a life or death roll I'm going to give Rover plenty of time to post.

INITIATIVE ROUND 4:

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

BOLD MAY ACT!!!!

Hi-C's mood

Does Acrobatics include escape Artist now?

If SoAcrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

It does, but not on Saturdays.

Struggle as he might, Rover is unable to break the grapple and the skreesire tightens its grip on him even more before...

INITIATIVE ROUND 3:

Rover-15, Grappled
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C
??????? -20
Justin

BOLD MAY ACT!!!!

reposition vs Rover grappled KAC: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

The beast pulls Rover over the ledge and into the acid!

Fully submerged in acid : 10d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 3, 5, 6, 2, 3) = 34

it then crawls up on the ledge over towards Hi-C, snarling and flailing its tentacles!

INITIATIVE ROUND 3 and 4:

Rover -36SP -13HP, fully in an acid pit
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C
??????? -20
Justin

BOLD MAY ACT!!!!

Isn't grapple usually KAC +8? Even with the penalties for being grappled succeeding on a 3 seems a lil low.

I'll assume there's something weird going on..

"Earthy get him out here... "

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 to yank Rover away

Whether that gets him out of the acid or not mystic cure I tag

mystic cure I: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

I'll suck up the acid damage for sticking my hand in there (if earthy didn't get him out) and enough HP to top Rover's HP off. His staminia is someone elses department

"Heya man-dog Rover! Maybe go for a swim some other time? Like after we kill the dog???"
Sorry Rover, I don't think inspiring boost works on healing SP damage from a pool of acid unless the acid pool can be considered a 'significant enemy.'

"Everybody, tenderize the dog to death! Justin can BBQ it for us later!!!"

Handsome then whistles at the do and says, "Here boy!! That's a good doggy!! You don't understand a word I'm saying but be a good good doggy woggy and look over here so you won't notice when everyone else bashes your head in!!! There's a good doggy!!!!"

Clever Feint, Bluff: 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 14 + (1) = 26
Get 'em applied and target flat-footed to all if Clever Feint is successful.

Don't remember if I mentioned but in RL, for the record, I love dogs!!!

"Hi-C, go for the tentacles!" Dreamz shouted as she continued her laser barrage.

Laser Rifle vs Flat-Footed EAC; CT, Get'em: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 19
Fire; Overcharge: 2d6 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 5) + (1) + 5 = 12

Battery 14/20

This is one of those times when I wonder whether the author knew how combat maneuvers work in Starfinder. This was only the third AP volume written. Reposition still normally requires KAC+8 to succeed, and even then only moves the target 5 feet (+5 feet for every 5 they beat the KAC+8 by).

Hi-C aims to sever the tentacles between the body and Rover.

"Whatever happens, keep Justin alive! I want calamari for dinner tonight!"

Curve Blade vs KAC, Get'em: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 - 4 = 23 vs Flat-footed?
Slashing Damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Curve Blade vs KAC, Get'em: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 - 4 = 9 vs Flat-footed?
Slashing Damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

"Mmmmmm!!Acid treated, deep fried doglamari!! Justin, can you do that???"

Just in case I miss my go again

Rover struggles again to get free

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

In-game, it's still Saturday...

Rover, your no longer grappled, just in neck high acid. You don’t need to acrobatics you just need to move out of the pool...

Rover, your no longer grappled, just in neck high acid. You don’t need to acrobatics you just need to move out of the pool...

Didn't earthy move him out?

oh duh, ya he did, im assuming Rover would allow the friendly to pick him up. Rover, was the acrobatics to avoid AoO? cause I think Starfinder removed that. Currently you are a guarded step away from safety which would leave you with a standard and swift action.

The Earth elemental reaches in and sizzles but it is able to grab rover and move him out of the acid, albeit after some damage.

acid damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

Hi-C slashes and connects once, enraging the beast as DR34-M12's shot burns into one of its vestigial wings!

Justin quickly heals Rovers wounds by taking them for himself! All the while The creature roars and glares at Handsome hungrily...

INITIATIVE ROUND 4:

Rover -36SP
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C
??????? -39
Justin -7HP Earthy: -12

ROVER MAY ACT!!!!

acid damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

"In retrospect I see making an earth elemental out of limestone for this encounter may not have been my best idea... "

Rover takes a guarded step out of the skreesires reach and then bots away a few more feet just to be safe.

INITIATIVE ROUND 4:

Rover -36SP
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C
Skreesire -39
Justin -7HP Earthy:-12

BOLD MAY ACT!!!!

The skreesire roars hungrily as Rover escape its reach but it turns it attention to Hi-C and the NOT cold iron melee weapon!

Bite vs KAC : 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 11 - 4 = 211d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Tentacle w/Grab vs KAC : 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 4 = 231d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

The skreesire strikes with its massive jaw only to be caught by Hi-C's shield, but its tentacles come low and wrap around his legs and begin to constrict!

INITIATIVE ROUND 4 and 5:

Rover -36SP
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C -5SP, Grappled
??????? -39
Justin -7HP Earthy:-12

BOLD MAY ACT!!!!

Earthy SMAAAASH

attac: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Justin shoots

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 cold damage

Earthy is still adjusting to not having his favorite punching arm after the acid, and misses wildly.

after rereading grab, Hi-C is not grappled.

Oops I missed Sunday!

Rover shakes as his cloth seem to hold up. He coughs and shakes it off."What the F*&k was that!!!"

Oops I missed Sunday!

Rover shakes as his cloth seem to hold up. He coughs and shakes it off."What the F*&k was that!!!"

"You owing me a LOT of drinks "

Rumble

You owing US a lot of drinks....

Staring down at the edge of the pit, and seeing Rover just barely escape, Hi-C takes an uncharacteristically defensive stance.

Total Defense & Align Shield = +5 AC for 1 Round.

"Time for y'all to unload. Limey and I got the front line."

If Earthy is damaged by an attack, Hi-C will use his reaction to Guard.

RUUuuUUMBLE?

"Open fiiiiire!!!!!"

Handsome places get 'em on the target and takes a shot with his laser rifle.

laser rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 11
Fire damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Dreamz followed her captain's orders and continued to fire overcharged blasts at the monster while yelling her battle cry. "BAD DOG!"

Laser Rifle vs EAC; CT, Get'em: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 18
Fire; Overcharge: 2d6 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 5) + (6) + 5 = 21

"I would have bought you drinks regardless!"he says stepping up to then fire at the thing.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Rover, why not use your Trick Attack?

Earthy and DR34-M12 both miss their shots but Handsome, Justin, and Rover all manage to connect and Hi-C squares his shield against the skreesire.

INITIATIVE ROUND 5:

Rover -36SP
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C -5SP
Skreesire -59

Full attack tentacle vs KAC : 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 15 - 4 = 211d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

The Skreesire strikes out with its bite, but most likely misses Earthy until its tentacles come up and wrap around the elemental!

If earthy's AC Is 14 of less they take 21 damage and are grappled if they survive, if they have more than 14 but less than 17 AC they take 10 damage and are grappled if they survive.

INITIATIVE ROUND 5 and 6:

Rover -36SP
DR34-M12
Handsome Gob
Hi-C -5SP
??????? -59
Justin -7HP Earthy:-21, Grappled?

"Sorry earthy, I'll bring you back for drinks tomorrow... "

yeah he's rubble.

Cryo rife: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 vs eac

damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

"I believe you would have bRought the drinks. Bought.. not so much "

if he AC was higher then 14 Hi-would have absorbed 5 points of damage...

Full Attack.

Battery 8/20

Justin fires a shot that does not connect while Hi-C slashes twice and connects once, but dealing considerable damage by lopping off one of its tentacles!

Handsome tries to keep the skreesire’s attention but this time the beast is focused on Hi-C.

Rover manages to obscure himself, but manages to obscure his own vision and misses his shot while DR34-M12 fires a shot right at center mass!

"Everyone, get 'em!!!!"

Inspiring boost to heal Hi-C for up to 18SP and Get 'Em placed on the target for +1 to hit

Dreamz continued her overcharged laser barrage, her HUD displaying a warning about the energy levels in her rifle's battery.

Laser Rifle vs EAC; CT, Get 'Em: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 24
Fire; Overcharge: 2d6 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 2) + (2) + 5 = 13

Battery 5/20

This final assault is enough bring the skreesire down with one finally deafening death roar, it flops on the rocks and slides back into the acid pool.

COMBAT OVER

The body propped up against the rocks is wearing a symbol around its neck that depicts a black hole with a red center. it carries a satchel containing a hefty collection of rare coins worth 1200 credits.

The trapdoor Rover found leads to an underground tunnel that is pitch black as is descends into the astroid.

mysticism: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
medicine: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

"Cultist, recent one too. The livers still squishy "

"No it has to buy me a drink first before it gets to impregnate this handsome face," He says as he walks over to the hatch and points.

"Heres a hatch, leads to a tunnel," he says and then turns back to the others.

"Also not a Dog, more of a hentai Lovecraftian nightmare...." he pauses as he shakes his head."No that would be a horrible anime"

Hi-C grumbles as the pile of ingredients disappears under the pool's surface.

He then pulls out his titanium cable and gear clamp and goes fishing.

I added 1200 to the party loot sheet.

Handsome takes the necklace and puts it on. "Hey check it out! I'm a scaaaary cultist!" He raises his hands up in a scary monster pose, "The Devourer will... uhhh... DEVOUR you!!!!" Then Handsome points at Hi-C.

When everyone ignores him, Handsome shrugs and searches the corpse for more loot but keeps the necklace on.

Shall we look look on the SE part of the map before going down the trapdoor? Or shall we just head on down the trapdoor now?
