GM Friendly Sauce’s Dead Suns

Game Master friendly sauce

@HG, You are indeed free, I forgot how grab works! I moved you to the west.

In that case, this is Handsome's previous turn as mentioned:

As the thing loses its grip on Handsome, Handsome moves to the west and yells out, "Buck up Justin! You'll always be tastier than me!!"
And these words of encouragement healed Justin for 24SP (as Friendly Sauce already noted).

And then after the bird grabs Justin and flies off....
"Oh gobbammit!!! I didn't think that bird would actually understand what I said!!!

"BIRD!! BIRD!! Justin is NOT tasty! I repeat! NOT tasty!!! Give him a little chew!! Justin is absolutely disgusting!!!! Drop him before you get exploding diarrhea from eating Justin!!!! Trust me! I know!!"

Looking around, Handsome quickly follows with, "Uhhh... nevermind how I know...yah?"

Turning his attention back to the bird, Handsome points at it, yelling, "Everyone get that bird!! And... uh.... someone catch Justin when he falls? Or actually, ysoki are pretty bouncy..... right?"
Handsome will spend a resolve point on improved get'em, giving everyone +2ATK and +2DMG this round.

Laser Rifle vs EAC, get em: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 = 25
Fire damage, get em: 1d8 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13

"Everyone is getting a jetpack after this!"

Standard action overcharge the Dog, move action to attempt to move under Justin to "catch" him."

Laser Rifle vs EAC; CT, Get'em: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 24
Fire; Overcharge, Get'em: 2d6 + 1d6 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (6, 4) + (2) + 2 + 7 = 21

Battery 34/40

Oops, Handsome and I both forgot about jetpacks....

"Oh right! Gobbammit! I DO have a jetpack! Justin!! Hang in there!! I'm comin'!!!"

Handsome quickly turns to Rover and says, "That's what she said! HA!"

And lo, the sky angel who walked among us in a diminutive and adorable form, did drop from the heavens glowing like a star. Screaming the holy mantra at the top of his lungs "thatswhatshesaaid......" SkyAngels 1:28

Handsome and DR34-M12 aim true and fell the beast; causing it and Justin to plummet to earth!

falling damage and sharpwing falling on you damage : 5d6 + 2d10 ⇒ (5, 6, 3, 3, 2) + (9, 4) = 32

falling and crushing Justin, but the combat is over.

"I swear Justin would've been safe and bouncy... If it weren't for the giant bird falling onto him."

Just because he can, Handsome activates his jetpack and flies over to Justin and helps lift the bird so that Justin can escape.

Handsome will also examine the bird for anything vaguely useful.

"Guys, ya think this bird may be good eats?"

Handsome will take a 10 min rest.

"I'm not generally picky when it comes to lunch, but the locals probably know which parts are edible and which parts'll kill ya."

Hi-C, determined to make use of his inaccurate laser gun, stands watch while everyone rests.

"We could always try and see exactly what is edible. I mean it's pretty cooked already"Rover says as he spins his pistol and then holsters it. he puffs on his cigarette before pulling it free and blowing out some smoke.

"Need to be more mindful people this is a healthy planet full of gods knows what sort of flora and fauna. Remember your Starfinder Survival training and you all should do just fine"

"Wait... You got training? I just clicked an ad..."

Justins going to rest for 10 minutes. should take them that long to realize the chef AND survivalist is the one under the thing...

"Justin you good? or do you need to be pulled out if so Hi-C'll get you" He yells sitting down and taking it easy.

"It's nice not to be the target of enemy fire for once. Kinda see the appeal"he adds in a softer tone taking a minute to enjoy the alien scenery about him.

"harrmaparghpwutwoooretwailswophoruwpworowrnawrrrrwoo..."

"Wow and I thought Handsome had the Dirty mouth"

Justin spits out an eyeball

"It's the cheekpouches. Leaves room for the good swears. "

Rover laughs out loud."I bet"

taking a minute to enjoy the alien scenery about him.

Hi-C shakes his head and sighs.

"Yer kidding me. Right? Not a functional battery as far as the eye can see. The native translation for 'condemned' is 'luxury apartment', and the drinking water contains 200% daily value of copper. Oh, and there's regular charter flights to *nowhere*."

'No love for the nearly unspoiled beauty that nature holds? I mean such a grand and wondrous thing when you think about it, the trees the air reminds me of camping as a child." he says as he gestures to the dead bird.

"Danger aside unspoiled wilderness is a treasure we rarely have in the Pact worlds save a few places, so why not appreciate this before well we spoil it, like we always do"he gest up and places his cigarette in his mouth before going over and looking at the bird.

"Come on big guy lets get the potty mouth outta thier so we can wash his mouth out...and probably a bath in general"

'No love for the nearly unspoiled beauty that nature holds? ]

[b]Not... at... the.. moment...

Hi-C sighs again and helps out as he can. He Yanks Justin out of the bird's cheekpouches, cuts off any white meat with his Curve Blade as directed, and then takes a big swig of "actual" water from his water bottle.

"Being attacked by weird fauna definitely reminds me of camping as a kid. Right before the scoured stars we had one more family outing. Jessica got swallowed by some sort of sauropod, mom wanted to tranquilize it and cut her out. Jessica wasn't so patient about it...good times. I think getting her in the stream afterwards was the most dangerous part... "

Gets some ingredients for ....

After recovering from sharpening assault, you head out to the Maze of ghosts and are unimpeded the rest of the way.

The front entrance of this building has been sheared away by some ancient calamity, revealing metal structural supports, pipes, and bits of wiring. The ground here is littered with rubble, some of which was been removed to clear a small path into the structure.

Much of the building is buried under the rubble of other structures that have collapsed over the millennia, which has actually formed a protective shell keeping the worst ravages of time from affecting the buildings interior.

"DOG!" The android shouted as she brought her laser rifle to bear.

Breaking the 4th wall, Deadpool style, Handsome looks directly into the camera and says matter-of-factly, "Heya GM Friendly Sauce, looks like you missed me on the initiative order. I believe I come in between Justin and Hi-C.

"I get it, I get it. Like a good parent to their children, you SAY you don't have any favorites amongst the PCs but you can admit it. Just like ALL the NPCs in the ENTIRE IC world, you OOC-ly don't like goblin-kind either.

"No, no! Don't apologize. It's okay. It is what it is. I'm a big boy and I can take it!"

Handsome flashes a thumbs up and winks at GM Friendly Sauce.

;-)

Handsom may not have noticed the surprise round... :)

And I always act in a surprise round on my initiative or the initiative of the creature -1

"It's okay Rover, I don't think it's actually a dog that's trying to eat you!"

Whats that from?

@Handsome, I knew something looked off about it, but working a Helpdesk during mass panic about work from home has stretched my brain thinner than I thought.

@Rover, I feel like that ability sounds familiar but can you link it?

He has Ever Vigilant because he's an Explorer Operative.

Thanks hi c. My job got into super clean mode due to the virus so my hours and availability are gonna be weird for two weeks. Maybe more

Ahhh ok I didn't not realize you had that. I will keep that in mind for the future.

The Snake was loosening up on Rover but DR34-M12's blast changes its mind and Rover is not able to wiggle out, instead the Snake tries to squeeze even harder on Rovers body!

"I swear this thing is never gonna get any use on this planet."

Hi-C once again drops his sniper rifle, summons his Curve Blade to his hands, takes a five foot step forward, and slashes at the legless dog.

Curve Blade vs KAC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
Slashing Damage: 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

"Dream... animals barely understand "friend for food" when they're NOT being shot at. Now you ticked it off. If that thing bites him on the (**#*##$( YOU"RE sucking the poison out!* "

"Justin, can't you tell which dogs are venomous? Only the ones with triangular shaped heads. Or neck tentacles. Or chloroplasts for skin. Anyways... Not this one. My bet is it swallows whole instead."

"WHAT in our experience makes you think that has to be an or question?"

Justins going to foot sucker his way along the wall and shoot once
at the snakes tail hoping to hot hurt it TOO badly

attack: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 4 = 16

"If you let him go, back away from the guy with the sword, dinners still on me...Hi C, if he lets Rover go let him go. A deals a deal...and besides, and we can lord it over Rover that we sold him for soup. "

@Handsome, I knew something looked off about it, but working a Helpdesk during mass panic about work from home has stretched my brain thinner than I thought.

No worries, honest mistake. I just figured Handsome suddenly speaking OOC at you would be amusing.

"Dream... animals barely understand "friend for food" when they're NOT being shot at. Now you ticked it off. If that thing bites him on the (**#*##$( YOU"RE sucking the poison out!* "

"Wait, if the snake bites Rover, then Dreamz will have to literally suck Rover's bee-hind?!?!? Hot DAMN!!

"Snake, bite 'im! BITE 'IM, GOBBAMMIT!!!"

If Handsome could use Get 'Em to encourage the snake to specifically bite Rover's derriere, Handsome probably would...

Life science roll to identify the snake
Life Science: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Despite Handsome's desires to see Dreamz sucking Rover's ass, Handsome will attempt to help take the snake down non-lethally. He moves next to Justin to get a clear shot, drawing his static arc pistol and fires at the snake.

Static arc pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Electric damage, non-lethal: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"I'm not putting my lips on a dog lover. We can take him back to the ship and replace his blood with a nanite solution. I've been needing some blood anyway."

Fire; Overcharge: 2d6 + 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 2) + (6) + 7 = 18

Battery 25/40

"I'm not putting my lips on a dog lover. We can take him back to the ship and replace his blood with a nanite solution. I've been needing some blood anyway."

"...I really wish i was more surprised by that..."

Botting Rover:

Rover attempts to break out of the pin!

acrobatics : 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

Unfortunately Rover is not able to break out of the pin, and the snake doesnt seem willing to give up a meal so easily!

Snake? -61, grappled
Justin
Handome Gob
Hi-C

Sidenote: in Starfinder, whoever's controlling the grapple doesn't actually gain the Grappled condition.

"Sorry, Justin, you telling a snake what it should be eating is like a protein bar telling me to cut back on alcohol."

Curve Blade vs KAC: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 14 - 4 = 22
Slashing Damage: 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

damage: 1d10 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 7 + (4) = 19

winces...

"Sorry rover...would you believe i was shooting the poison out?"

bluff: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Ignoring Dreamz's denial of any poison-sucking, Handsome says, "Did the snake bite Rover yet? Yes? Okay everyone, get that snake! Sooner we get the snake off Rover, sooner the 'poison extraction' process begins!!!"
Get 'em gives everyone a +2 ATK versus the snake.

"Rover! Don't you worry! The sucking will soon begin!!!"
And those very words inspiring boosts Rover, healing him for 24SP.
