GMG's SFS - #1-05 - The First Mandate (Inactive)

Game Master Magabeus

I indeed missed your DR Porker, let me check if it matters

Edit: as Telwyn said: DR only matters vs kinetic attacks. See CRB 263

Interesting! I didn't know that! Good to know, thanks.

Someone may want to use Perception on the South end of the stage. Because, symmetry.

You might want to read the description of detect thoughts ;-)

I thought I did? ;p

Did I miss something? (Wouldn't be a first) A chance to read surface thoughts on 3rd round? Slight chance in this case - DC12 - I had already thought it an interesting approach to try given she has no engineering to help disarm and others are already searching, before realising that as a racial spell-like ability it is CHA based. But I still thought it would be cool on the off-chance it worked! (I may have totally over-imagined what are classed as surface thoughts, however, I would expect that waiting to blow someone uo would be somewhere near the top of the list)

Now that she has cast the spell, what is the action economy if she chooses to end it before the 3rd round (ie in the case of being attacked)? Could she end the detect thoughts and cast a different spell in the same round?

No, I thought you missed that the effect you are looking for happens in round 3. But you did not and I completely overlooked the spoiler you placed there.

And yes, you can just let go of the spell and do something else with your action.

No problem. Thanks GMG!

From comments made throughout the mission I had inferred the general concensus to be that some sort of display of Starfinder awesomeness before the VIPs was a secondary goal, if possible (keeping the First Seeker safe being the primary one). Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

To that end, Saeron was attempting to distract/delay the assassin in the AV booth while the bombs were dealt with and, not being one for subterfuge or concocting grand tales, is now rolling with whatever the current situation presents. So, happy for either area to be the site of the confrontation.

Good point. Maybe I should keep trying to get her out in the open?

Distracting her while you deal with the bombs is indeed what you should be doing. A display of awesomeness is also that you deal with her and the bombs. However that dealing with her does not need to be a combat in the Skyreach room, you do not want collateral damage there with all the dignitaries.

Thanks for the confirmations and clarification GMG. For Saeron, it will be awesome for her to simply finish the mission with her skin still intact!

Happy for either outcome, whichever the party decides.

To put things in the open here: I am waiting for you to initiate combat. Reynold is distracting her, but she is a highly trained professional and won't easily say or do something that will expose herself.

I don’t mean to be a nudge, but could we bot Cadence’s surprise turn? He hasn’t posted since Monday, and I feel like we’re closing in on the end here. There’s a live game in my town on Wednesday that I’d love to play Reynold in, so if we can at least try to wrap this one up before then I’d be most appreciative.

No problem Reynold, I will make sure you have your chronicle on Tuesday (GMT)

Can I get dayjob rolls or confirmation you do not have a day job? If you otherwise spend your downtime also let me know. I have Piggy’s info.

Boon rolls (1 or 20, no reroll)
GM: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Cadence: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Mavrik: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Piggy: 1d20 ⇒ 11
Reynold: 1d20 ⇒ 16
Saeron: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Telwyn: 1d20 ⇒ 16

I won a boon!
1d2 ⇒ 1

I won a boon!

Congrats!

Day Job (video personality): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

I was almost going to Take 10, but I thought, "No, there's slightly higher chance you get better..." I should have remembered Saeron's track record! :P

Thanks a bunch, GM! And congrats! No Day Job for Reynold.

Wah wah Saeron's video just got blocked for background music copyright infringement :p (you could pick up a profession toolkit for +4 going forward)

Day Job (con artist): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Telwyn also tries a con, but her mark apparently is not ACTUALLY a wealthy doctor.

Profession (Bounty Hunter): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Thanks for the game!

Piggy, I thought you wanted to use your Instructor boon for your downtime?

And we are not done yet, thank me once it is over ;-).

Edit I just saw the damage you did: nevermind that last remark. Wrap-up tomorrow!

No dayjob.

Sorry for going AWOL at the end: sick kids = no sleep.

Sweet GMing GMG, thank you!

Profession (Biotech): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Maybe I need to implant some shock resistant fibers in my own flesh?

He heads back to the lab to get some work in while working through any new memories that surfaced from his last mission.

Woops! You're right! Please disregard my dayjob check. I do want the boon benefit.

Here are your chronicles. If I need to correct something let me know.

You made both the primary and the secondary success conditions and also completed both faction missions!

Chronicles will be available online for 6 months, after which they will be removed. I will inactivate the campaign on or after Wednesday.

Thank you all for playing, I had a great time with you all!

Thanks GMG - you did a fantastic job!

Thank you to all my fellow players, too. I thoroughly enjoyed everyone's roleplaying and enjoyed the diversity of characters in our little group. Thanks for allowing me to share in your story.

Haha! That sounds about right! Hmm, for some reason I missed the profession toolkit - she has a hacking kit and medical kit, but I overlooked that one... Thanks for the tip :)

Chronicle looks great. Thanks for running, @GMG!

Thanks GMG, good game everyone

Chronicle looks great! Thanks for the fun game!

Cheers, enjoyed that.
