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

Game Master Magabeus

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Piggy ignores the not-so-subtle cues that his conversation partner is bored and keeps on talking. "Well, you really should try this pie! I'm aorry, what were you saying? "

Mavrik enjoys the genuine interest in his missions so he starts going into more details.

"The rush it gives one is exciting but so is the gratitude of the customer. On that mission we were able to bring home not only the requested data but some of the crews personal effects that are important to Kasathan traditions."

Diplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 18

"The Starfinder Society and the Acquisitives are always looking for ways to grow. Possibly, you could even join us on missions and create some stories of your own to share?" he adds giving the android a friendly smile.

Computers: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 no luck there, should have thought to ask if I can take 10 heh

Telwyn wishes she could make some clever point about the com to tie in to her field work, but can't think of any.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 worth a shot maybe

Instead she tries to further her point about thinking on your feet. "I mean I do the research ahead of time and carry a weapon, but often the best way to win a fight is to convince the other side you have a tactical sniper team waiting for the call."

"I've never had dealings with the drow. If its not too top secret mind if I ask what trade the Society has with them?"

RP-lite post today, insane day at work that’s still not over. Sorry! Will be back to a more immersive portrayal of Reynold next time around.

Reynold smiles warmly and tries to ingratiate himself with the eggheads by discussing trade and local scuttlebutt.

Culture: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Saeron is caught off-guard as Zo! circles about her, regarding her through his fingerframe. Blushing slightly, she manages to stammer in reply, "Such things... aren't my... my forte."

Uncertainly, she draws her dagger from the sheath at her belt and tries to execute a flashy slashing swirl, in imitation of the sparring Lashunta warriors she recalls from her youth.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Wow! I just hope he doesn't ask me to do it again... Pleased with herself, her actions show a little more confidence as she deftly sheaths ber blade.

"Ah, I may be able to shine some light on that," she begins in response to his query. "My vidlog The Hour of Flower with Saeron recently set its small sector of the Infosphere aflame."

"It's a niche production documenting rare and exotic botanical specimens uncovered in the wilder regions of Castrovel as part of my research. Let's just say that after I uncovered evidence pointing to a significant player in the pharmaceutical game engaging in unethical and exploitative practices, my viewership increased dramatically."

Profession (video personality): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Sorry, just realised i must have used my sense motive bonus on the above roll - Profession is +6

Piggy and Ykris
"Unfortunately I am not able to partake in those pies, but it seems Jhireu, enjoys them as much as you do. Any idea where the society found the great chef who is responsible for the bites?"

Ykris is ingratiated to anyone who shares gossip about the Starfinder Society (Culture), and it respects anyone knowledgeable enough to hold a discussion about its work in cybernetic augmentations (Life Science)

Mavrik and Iteration 177
The android takes in every detail of the mission Mavrik describes "I am afraid I do not have the time to spare to come on a mission. I would like to thank you for describing your experiences in such detail. Did you go on any other missions that you can tell me about?"

Telwyn and Naiaj
The bleachling gnome nods "Subterfuge and misleading the enemy; classic maneuvers that often work. As for that business with the drow, I can not divulge any information at this moment, maybe later. Now if you will excuse me, I will send out a quick reply to my assistant."

One check per social round, so I did not use your diplomacy check

Saeron and Zo!
The undead presentator claps his hands when Saeron twirls the dagger in her hand "Well done, such agility is great to see up close! If only we had a camera crew in here!"

Also for you: one check per social round. Feel free to use that second part of your post for round three

Reynold and Royo
"Now that is an interesting thesis you bring to the table young man..."

A lively discussion starts and Reynold is not only able to hold his own, but sometimes he can disprove positions from one of the scholars.

"It is refreshing to hear back experience from the field"

What does Cade do?

Also for you: one check per social round. Feel free to use that second part of your post for round three

Thanks for clarifying - I'm still quite new to PFS/SFS. I will do (for better or worse, based on that roll!)

No problem Saeron. With scenarios that have an obvious social part in them there is often a mechanism in place behind the scenes which the players do not need to know about. At a face to face table I could have put my attention with another player as soon as you made that first check, in PbP I just need to clarify some things.

Reynold grins and pats the ysoki on the shoulder. "Learned it from the best university of all: the School of Hard Knocks. But I'm sure you want to hear from more than just this rabble-rouser. You should chat with some of my pals, they're pretty learned as well, even if they're not as easy on the eyes." He winks facetiously, then starts making the rounds to check in with his comrades, shooting out a group text to the party: Any eggheads should chat with the ysoki, he likes scholarly types. I gave him the runaround but I don't think I can pull off that schtick for long.

He catches the tail end of Mavrik's story to Iteration-177, then jumps into the conversation. "Oh yeah, that mission. I was on that assignment too, didn't sleep for a week afterwards. I was able to get it out of my head by hitting the town in Brilliance with my pal Envar Tam, though! Check this out!" Reynold busts out his comm unit and starts pulling up selfies from his partying with the lashunta media personality. "Here's us after killing a monster in the arena, here's us doing body shots off some vesk at the club, and us at the solar observatory. That guy knows how to let off steam. Good times." Reynold is very careful to omit any reference to his actual assignment on Brilliance (no spoilers).

Bluff (with expertise): 1d20 + 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (11) + (1) + 11 = 23 Selectively recounting Reynold's exploits in 1-07 The Solar Sortie, if relevant.

"Ah, Reynold...just as I was about to get into my boring stories. Thank you for your time Iteration-177 and I will leave you to to share stories." luckily saved by Reynold he attempts to return the favor to Piggy who seems to be enamored with the food.

Mavrik walks over to Ykriss (and host) and Piggy. "I hate to intrude, Piggy, but I heard our guest here is a representative from CeriCorp Labs! Ykris, correct? My name is Dr. Maverik Drix, private practice."

Profession (Doctor-Biotech): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

"So, I imagine CeriCorp has a robust research department especially on augmentation. My personal crowning achievement is my eco-cortex that interfaces with my mind!" he boasts as his eye-rig flashes.

I'm a little lost. Are we on the next round yet?

Smiling at Reynold's comments, Cade steps over to the Ysoki, "Royo, right? I heard you're a big analogue guy? Did you hear about the ceramic plating on the drift-rock anchored outside Absalom Station? I was there, amazing material..."

If Royo seems keen, Cade will go into everything he knows about the ceramic, including speculation about its manufacture.

engineering or physical science: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Seems we are in round 3 Piggy! Quick post, sorry for not having the time to do a longer post

Reynold moves towards Iteration 177 and tells some nice tidbits about his exploits on Brilliance. Mavrik discusses the advantages of having an exocortex with Ykriss while Cade discusses the strange material found on the drift rock with Royo.

Saeron tries to impress Zo!, but he merely shrugs "Oh, girl, who is interested in flowers? The audience wants to see blood, carnage or at least some bare skin!"

Zo!: 1 (Acrobatics), Saeron failed her icon check
Note that the above does not mean that you can not try another Computers check with Naiaj or Culture with Rojo. There are some things I need to keep track of and if I do not do it like this I will loose track

Who can still act in round 3
Cade, Piggy, Telwyn

That last post from Cade was his round 2 action, I have used the second part of Saeron's last post as her round 3 action

Telwyn takes her leave of Naiaj and telepathically reports to the others that she wasn't able to make any progress with the gnome.

She walks up to Zo, having just caught a glimpse of Saeron's acrobatic stunt. "Impressive!" She turns her attention to the undead... thing. "I heard you were looking for some information about the operation at Salvation's End. I can tell you more about it..."

Telwyn has the Claimant to Salvation from running that scenario if it's still needed. If it was already handled and I missed it, maybe she can try to embelish the story with a bluff check?

Bluff: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Cade smiles at Royo, "Great to me meet you, I'm just going to get a drink."

Cade picks up a drink and drifts over to Naiaj, "Naiaj, right? You're a Starfinder survivor, right? You must have known Steelhand. He was my mentor, I was part of the crew that tracked down his killers..."

Cade knows his strengths and rather than pushing the personal stuff, just uses it as an in to start talking about the alien data-storage and the other amazing tech on the drift rock.
computers: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

"Time to switch channels!" Zo! says to Saeron while he turns towards Telwyn "Yes, do tell me more! Would you like one of these orange cocktails while you tell your story?"

At the other side of the room Cade approaches Naiaj "Old Steelhand, o yes, I remember him. He always wanted to arm-wrestle, as if there was any chance he would loose to a gnome." she pauses for moment and then is all attention again "Alien technology is always interesting. Did you manage to hack into the systems?"

Starting Round 4! Piggy can also take his round 3 action

"Quiet type? Or possibly I have droned on long enough. My apologies. What of your work in the field? I imagine you can take some inspiration from your own relationship with your host." says Mavrik after Ykris remains silent.

Life Science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
DC reduced by 5 due to Scholar Theme

Reynold continues to talk Iteration 177's ear off. "And that wasn't even as exciting as the time we went toe to toe with a band of space pirates! Damn Besmarans think they can just rule the skies unchallenged, but me and my crew showed 'em who's boss this side of the galaxy. Put those Drake missiles to work! Here, I even got a special insignia for pulling off that hat trick."

Bluff (with expertise, using Into the Unknown Chronicle sheet): 1d20 + 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (1) + (5) + 11 = 17

Piggy finishes his pie and turns to the task at hand. "You know, that our was pretty sweet. You know what isn't sweet? Visiting a ghost ship full of Kasathan warriors! " Piggy goes on, telling of the dangerous exploits which occurred during Cries in the Drift.

Culture: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Round 4
He saw Ykriss pay special attention during a select portion of the story, which he latches onto. "Yes, that Kasathan did have a cybernetic implant! I have heard you are doing fantastic work in that area. Please, can you tell me more? "

Life Science: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

To the offer of an orange cocktail Telwyn excitedly says "Yes, it looks so fun!" She has one or two as they continue to chat despite her initial revulsion at talking to a creepy skeleton. When he mentions again his interest in combat displays, Telwyn offers "Oh I can shoot stuff in style." She leads him and his entourage out to a balcony.

Once outside she hands her drink to Zo! "Here hold this, I'm gonna take out that glass." She points her arc pistol at a drink someone has left on a table near the edge. Once everyone is focused there she twists her wrist and takes the shot back at her own drink in Zo!s hand!

Trick Attack Bluff: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
Energy Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Mavrik, Piggy & Ykriss
"My apologies, I was distracted for a moment" the half-elf replies "indeed, my background has me at an advantage in my chosen field". He continuous with some details about the way muscles exactly. Mavrik and Ykriss are soon in a detailed debate how to improve stamina and endurance. Piggy latches on and tells how he has enhanced porker's artificial muscles.

When the discussion pauses Piggy adds some gosip about the Starfinder society. Culture with Ykriss was to tell some gosip ;-)

Reynold & Iteration 177
"Pirates? Near Absalom station? I am sorry, but that seems rather far-fetched." Iteration 177 replies. Reynold does his best to clarify that this did not happen near Absalom Station, but the android seems not to listen

Telwyn and Zo!
The fact that Iteration 177 does not listen might have something to do with the commotion on the balcony, where Telwyn demonstrates what a fine shot she is! Zo! claps his hands "Bravo! That is what we want to see, you should teach that flower girl how to do this. Or not, I see you have a nice future ahead of you. Would you be interested in appearing on the info-sphere?"

Saeron and Cade to act, others; you can react but please do not roll any checks / attempt to influence the NPCs at this moment.

Saeron is left alone, mouth slightly agape, in the wake of the maelstrom that is Zo! and the accompanying entourage's departure with Telwyn.

Learning her first lesson of the fickle nature and short attention span of the mainstream audience, she collects a cocktail from a passing attendant and sips as she collects her thoughts.

Noticing her companions have many of the VIPs covered she spies Naiaj in a relatively quiet area of the room. Making her way over to the gnome, Saeron introduces herself. She mentions her work in research science on Castrovel, detailing the algorithms required for developing models and simulations.

Sorry for lack of roleplay - busy at work and hard to post. I saw someone ask earlier, but didn't see a response - is it possible to take 10 in these situations? In case not, I'll also roll below.

Computers: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Home from work now and had time to look up the rules on Taking 10 properly. Ouch! Looks like I'll be stuck with that poor roll :p

Sorry for not answering. Taking 10 is not allowed, the key sentence being "taking 10 is almost never an option for a check that requires some sort of crucial effect as a key part of the adventure's story."

Saeron & Naiaj
Naiaj listens patiently to the first half of Saeron's story and then interjects "That is all nice to hear, but how would you use that knowledge on a mission? Try to be more concise, I have other things that need my attention."

Cade, we are waiting for you!

Cade outlines the hacking attempts he and a fellow Starfinder made together, ”Really incredible schematics, although a lot of the data needs to be translated once we can figure out the language.”

computers: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Naiaj listens attentively to Cade, especially when he describes how he had to adjust his approach several times because he found he could not get on with what he had originally planned.

You have mingled for some time with the guests and suddenly your comm units signal that you should meet with Luwazi Elsebo on the stage. She asks you how you are progressing. Of course you tell her how you are doing.

"It seems you are doing great. If I look at Ykriss and Zo!, they seem to need only a little nudge and then have a good impression of the Starfinder Society. The other three need a bit more attention, but if you manage to keep up the good work I am sure they will also look favorable on the Starfinder Society. Carry on!"

Round 5, please include who you are trying to influence in your post.

Physical Science: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Piggy rides his means steed towards Rojo, hoping to talk about the sciences. Unfortunately, he is delayed by a waiter bearing more pie.

Reynold stands aghast for a moment as the android dismisses his story. But...there were pirates! That story was true! Maybe I embellished too much. He looks over to see Ykriss eating up the Society gossip, though, and recognizes a potential mark.

He picks up a champagne flute on his way over to Ykriss, then bends in close. "Hey, you didn't hear this from me, but a friend of a friend told me that the whole Scoured Stars incident was a hit job. Apparently the Dataphiles are on the trail of a mole that set us up for failure. I wouldn't be surprised if the First Seeker makes an announcement about it tonight. I hope we can count on CeriCore to back us if the rumors are true; if someone could hack our Society, I can only imagine what they would do to a powerful corporation. We could both use some friends in these dark times." He looks at the symbiont while raising his glass to its half-elf host, as if to clink glasses in affirmation of their friendship.

Bluff (with expertise, informed by intel from The Solar Sortie) vs. Ykriss: 1d20 + 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (17) + (2) + 11 = 30

@ GM: If the check has to be Culture, can I keep the 17 on the d20 and just apply my +5 modifier for 22?

Cade is happy to go into deep geeking out with Naiaj but if she's getting bored he will move on.

"It only really worked with the way he'd patched his system, really clever adjustments..."

computers: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Since Iteration 177 seems so interested in mission stories, Telwyn approaches the android to share her experience from the Salvation's End expedition. After a few of those orange cocktails she can't help but embellish the details for entertainment's sake.

Bluff: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

"Ah, of course. My apologies, habits can hard to break - in depth detail was essential in scientific research," Saeron continues her discussion with Naiaj.

"Having crunched the numbers and tested multiple strategies, the most efficient course of action can be better selected in the heat of the moment once engagement begins and plans go out the window."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Out of curiosity, could Saeron have attempted another Computers check, having previously failed?

Piggy is held up by a magnificent tray of pies. When the ysoki signals he is done taking pies the tray is empty and his cheeck pouches are bulging.

Reynold and the half-elven host of Ykriss, steered by the alien, have a interesting conversation about the inner politics of the Society. I changed your skill to culture, using that 17

Cade tries to impress Naiaj with his stories of hacking computers. She responds "I see what you are doing there, by praising your enemy you actually praise yourself. It does not become you."

Telwyn tells of the adventures several hired mercenaries had on a false moon. Iteration 177 laughs when she sings the threatening song the goblins played. Changed that roll to diplomacy

Saeron also approaches Naiaj. It seems the gnome is still a bit cranky with Reynold "Of course you can not tell me the proper strategy that you will use in the heat of the moment. It depends on the heat of the moment. What I want to know is how you go about selecting the best course of action? Say for instance that armed forces open those doors to the left and right and start shooting. Everybody screams, what do you do?"

Saeron: yes you could (and can). I am sorry that you fail every roll, I have nothing against you or your character.

Round 6 starts, Mavrik, you can also take your round 5 action

Piggy continues to Rojo, casually acting as if his mouth wasn't 100% full with slices of pie. Hrmmm... cherry, key lime, mixed berry, pumpkin. Hmmm... a brave choice, this time of year. Along the way, he remembers something his teammates said about the backwards Ysoki and ditches Porkers in a corner. "Good girl. Stay. " His technological pet safely stowed, he heads towards the gentleman and manages to swallow enough pie to speak. " Hello, good sir! What an event this is! Reminds me of when I was in grade school, when I won the science fair with my mechanical volcano! It's true! All gears and levers it was! No holo screen at all! What was that? You, too, enjoy analog devices? Crazy! " He smiles and casually slurps down another slice.

Physical Sciences: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Telwyn continues telling stories to Iteration 177. "So we found this poor intelligent bug thing, and it was TERRIFIED of these kids. But the kids were afraid of our big loud angry Vesk companion. So I told them a whole herd of angry slobbering lizard monsters was about to burst into the room and they went running away so fast! The bug thing was sure relieved!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

That one's Commencement if its good enough

Reynold drains his champagne and grins at the CeriCore rep. "Glad to know we've got you in our corner when the chips are down. It'll be no time before you realize just what handsome bedfellows Starfinders can be. Enjoy the rest of the party!"

He decides to give one more shot to winning over the android, making his way over to where Telwyn is telling her story. "I remember that, that was when I was confirmed too! We actually made some inroads with the junkracers to cover for a Starfinder whose head couldn't fit in her hat anymore. What a race!"

Diplomacy to aid Telwyn, also using a Commencement Chronicle sheet. Will alternatively take Telwyn's roll as an aid if Reynold's result is higher.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

fine with me if that is ok / better

The doctor takes his leave from Ykriss and overhears Piggy with Rojo and interject with how mechanical devices can imitate things within the Physical Sciences realm but also within the realm of Life Sciences.

Life Science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

"That is truly fascinating Piggy. Where is Porker? It is a wonderful example of how levers and gears can imitate life as well. Behaviors, personalities, and abilities can be evaluated with simulated life forms!"

--- Round 6

Then remembering what Elsebo said there were others that still needed convincing he looked to impress Zo!

These medical enhancements have also improved my combat skills. That should impress his viewers.

"Evening Zo! I am Doctor Mavrik Drix specializing in biotech augments...for combat. Do you have any programming on the topic? Enhanced combat is effectively advertising itself for the tech firms. Shall I provide an an example?"

Mavrik pulls out his Tactical Dart Rifle and shows him how it interfaces with his Combat Tracker. Mavrik chooses an target to showcase how his eco-cortex displays target data to improve accuracy.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 16

What a crotchety old sow! Way to mess up your first assignment... Tempted to flee the venture-captain's ire, Saeron resolves to persevere. Still, running in the face of adversity won't win many battles. And failure forms the foundation of the path to success. You can do this!

Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, "I'd call in reinforcements," Saeron replies simply to Naiaj's question.

Suddenly the sound of battle can be heard coming from behind Naiaj. casts Ghost Sound - DC 13 Will

Saeron goes on to detail how, under the cover of the chaos and confusion in the room, she would access the room's security system to deploy defenses and otherwise hinder the enemy's endeavours.

Computers: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

I am sorry that you fail every roll, I have nothing against you or your character.

All good, my rolls have been terrible! It's getting a little embarrassing how many of those failures have Saeron's name beside them...

Edit: in hindsight, perhaps the use of Ghost Sound would be more appropriately applied with Diplomacy (+5) and the display of Computers knowledge coming in the next round?

Piggy and Dr Mavrik chat up Royo "It is so good to hear that young starfinders such as yourself still value that transistors and electronics can not do everything. That gives an old ysoki a great feeling, thank you!"

Reynold and Telwyn talk to Iteration 177 and explain what happened in their respective confirmations "That is very interesting, such an initiation ritual. I might suggest something like that in our consortium as well"

Dr Mavrik has some time to show Zo! a nifty move with his tactictal dart rifle. Unfortunately he forgot to take the safety off... Zo! does not waste the moment "Always be prepared, you never know when the moment comes and you need to be prepared for that. I have three pieces of advice for you: practice, practice and.... practice!" his cronies laugh out loud at the ancient joke.

Naiaj turns around at the sound of battle behind her and then turns back to Saeron. She smiles and nods "Now that is what I like! Innovative use of abilities to confuse your opponent. Well done!"
I like your suggestion and have changed to diplomacy

Round 7 starts, Cade can also take his round 6 action

Despite her best efforts, Saeron can't help but smile at Naiaj's praise given her dreadful performance throughout most of the earlier part of the evening.

Saeron goes on to detail how, under the cover of the chaos and confusion in the room, she would access the room's security system to deploy defenses and otherwise hinder the enemy's endeavours.

Computers: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Cade backs up Saeron’s words.
computers aid another: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Round 6, Cade was flustered by the criticism and fetched drinks so that he would stop blushing.

Piggy heads over to ZO!, after picking up Porker again. Ooh, time for a cool trick! This star will see how Porker can shine! He rides his noble pig steed towards the balcony. "ZO! Behold my marvelous steed! "

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

The Ysoki attempts to do a handstand on top of Porker's barreled belly, but slips and falls on the ground.
