GM Tyranius The Solar Sortie Tier 1-2 (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

Heading to walk back over to the bar for a new drink, Zimsi nearly walks right into Razor before stopping short.

"Oh goodness, sorry!"

Bluff to feign almost running into Razor: 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (19) + 6 + (4) = 29

Round 3 Razor Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Zimsi almost bumps into Razor and she glares over at him as she jerks her hand, aligning her squadron right into Darqen's crosshairs. Alejandro only makes the matter worse as he rubs it in her furry face.

Round 4 is up.

Darqen Squadron Destroyed [_] [_] [_] [_]
Razor Squadron Destroyed [X] [X] [X] [_]

Alejandro rolls down and out of the handstand. He looks at the current score and shrugs dismissively at Razor, "I'm getting a beer. This is over."

Intimidate to Demoralize: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Zimsi "whispers" to Alejandro so that everyone in the room can hear it.

"That was so easy!"

Intimidate aid: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

piloting: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Darqen tries to end the game quickly.

"I believe the odds of victory are now greatly in our favor."

Round 4 roll: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Razor slams the controls down as her final squadron is destroyed with immense precision.

“You got me, kid, Envar will have 1 more week to come up with the credits.” Giving another free sample of her wares Razor orders her bodyguards to follow her as they leave the Lounge.

Watching to make sure that she leaves peacefully you turn back to see Envar partaking in both shares of the samples. His drug induced state will definitely be hitting a new high. He smiles and slips, catching himself on the bar. "Maybe we should move to someplace a bit more relaxing. The Sixth Floor of Brilliance has a Solar Observatory."

"Thank you for your hospitality Envar. It was a pleasure helping you."

Alejandro smiles as Razor gets up to leave, trying to smooth over any animosity, "thank you very much for your gracious consideration. You truly are very considerate of our friend's condition. I'm sure he will have the funds at that point."

Diplomacy + Expertise: 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (18) + 6 + (1) = 25

As Envar gets himself cranked up Alejandro let's out a laugh, "now we are ready to party! Let's go check out this new place and continue our tour!"

While on the elevator, Envar enthusiastically gushes "The view of teh sun from up there is magnificent! Good thing we will have the place all to ourselves. The scientists that usually work there are a real drag."

Both north and south elevators open into the foyer, and from there two locked doors lead to the restricted areas of the observatory. The elevator doors slide open to reveal a chamber with goldenhued metal floor and walls. Plasma screens on the south wall stretch from floor to ceiling and display crisp, breathtaking images of space. A fluorescent mural on the floor depicts the stages of a solar eclipse. Two silver doors to the east and west lead farther into the observatory.

Bump

Silently Darqen say to Alejandro "Take care of him and try to make me invisible. I will look around here."

stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Darqen then tries to loose the Envar without him noticing and starts to explore the doors to the east.

Whoops! Read that and forgot to post. My bad. Had a very busy weekend and Monday renovating kitchen/bath.

Alejandro claps Envar on the back and points him towards the sun, "oh my! That is amazing. Look you can see it all so close!"

Bluff using Diversion to let Darqen stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Darqen has no problem moving about without Envar noticing. Envar stares intently at the screens on the south wall and murmurs, “I can see, like, the whole universe from here.” Envar stands mystified in front of the screen.

Darqen attempts to pas through the door to the east and finds it very secure. Retinal scanners affixed to the east and west walls allow the doors to slide open when an authorized person presents his key card.

Alejandro clapping him on the back seems to knock the man out of his fugue state. "Oh, yes...Sorry." he apologizes and moves to the western retinal scanner, opening the door with his keycard.

The sun blazes above the transparent, domed ceiling of this gold metal room. An enormous gray-and-silver telescope is mounted near the western wall and points up toward the ceiling. A halfcircle desk and associated chairs rest near the northwestern wall. A dark-silver control station in front of the northern wall houses twin computer terminals. A set of silver shelves juts out from the northeastern wall, displaying various scientific instruments and tools.

Arch Energy Consortium scientists observe and record solar phenomena in this laboratory. The enormous telescope mounted to the floor in the southwestern corner is positioned to view the sun through the lab’s protective shielding. To the northwest of the telescope, a holoscreen hangs above a round metal table surrounded by hovering chairs. The computers in the northern control panel control the various layers of shields surrounding the observatory, including a dimensional shield and airlock.

So this room is full of people/scientists, correct?

Darqen checks out the environment to see if there is any chance to access a computer or to retreat with Envar into a more secluded room.

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Nope, currently just you. Envar was glad the scientists were all gone.

Sorry guys, still very internet deprived at the moment-

"Friend. What are all of these instruments used for? And where are all the scientists at?"

Darqen is thankful and moves to the computers to hack them without letting Envar notice.

Stealth : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

computer: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Darqen moves and begins to mess around with one of the computers. The ysoki is able to get past the countermeasures with ease and finds that it is just a monitoring station for the temperature levels and activity on the Sun.

Astrator's questions fall on deaf ears once again as the drug addled Envar approaches the telescope. A holo-projection of Ilia Tamm appears near the telescope and announces, “Guest safety is important to Arch Energy. Only authorized personnel may enter this restricted area.” Envar saunters over to the control panel and lounges in one of the hovering chairs within the console area, spinning it and giggling. “Mother,” he addresses the projection of Ilia, “you never let me play this game when I was a kid. Finally, I’ll get my high score! Check this out!” Envar mashes the buttons on the control panel. A loud droning sound fills the room, and the floor vibrates. The sun above appears brighter as a shield lowers.

Envar’s tampering lowers the dimensional shield, and a pair of solar elementals materializes in front of the control panel, focused into being by the momentarily lowered shield. These elementals are similar to fire elementals, save that they’re formed from a combination of fire and a small spark of radioactive energy from the surface of the sun. The elementals are essentially feral creatures, formed with no concept of their existence or purpose. They immediately attack the Starfinders.

Round 1
Astrator
Darqen (SP 7/7; HP 7/8)
---------------------------------------
Solar Elemental
---------------------------------------
Alejandro
Zimsi

Darqen sees the beings and shoots thinking about what these attackers are!

Mysticism to learn what this is: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Computers for trick attack (DC20+target CR): 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 4 = 22
Trick attack damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

azimuth laser pistol attack (weapon focus): 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23
azimuth laser pistol flame damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Hoping that Envar will access the computers for them, or at least give them some useful information Alejandro lets him bash away at the keyboard in his addled state. His eyes go wide as the alarms sound and the solar screen starts to drop. Standing there stunned, he is to surprised to act when the two elemental beings materialize.

Poor internet so limited detail

Astrator steps back and draws his weapon.

Can you draw a weapon during a move action in SF?

Targeting the red elemental, he unleashes with his rifle.

Azmuth Rifle: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Damage, F: 1d8 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1

@Astrator- As long as you have +1 BAB.

Astrator steps back, drawing his Azimuth rifle as Darqen fires his laser right into the center of one of the Solar Elementals.

The laser has no effect as it burns into the flames. From what Darqen knows of Solar Elementals is that they are immune to fire damage. They also emit solar radiation out from their bodies, injuring everything nearby as they emit a medium level of radiation. Though they are very vulnerable to cold damage.

The solar elementals split and attack Darqen and Astrator.

Red Slam vs Darqen KAC 16: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Damage (B+F): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Green Slam vs Astrator KAC 15: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

The solar elemental slams into Darqen's armor as the radiation soaks into the group.

RED- (Darqen, Astrator, and Zimsi) Need a DC 11 Fort save or take 2 damage from radiation.

GREEN- (Zimsi, Astrator, and Alejandro) Need a DC 11 Fort save or take 2 damage from radiation.

Round 2
Astrator
Darqen (SP 1/7; HP 7/8)
---------------------------------------
Solar Elemental
---------------------------------------
Alejandro
Zimsi

Fort DC 11: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Resisting the painful sunburn... for now, Alejandro finally breaks out of his surprise. Watching the laser blast do minimal damage and being next to the creature anyway, he pulls out his knife and takes a slash at the one in front of him. ”shut the damn shield Envar!”

fort save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Darqen cries out "Laser fire does not work as it is immune to fire! Do you have cold weapons?!"

He drops his pistol and draws his baton attacking the elemental in front of him with help of his computer guiding system!

tactical baton attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
tactical baton bludgeon damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
tactical baton CRIT bludgeon damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Computers for trick attack (DC20+target CR): 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 4 = 32
Trick attack damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Wow. :-( What an incredible damage output of 4!

Fort Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Fort Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Zimsi is thrown totally off-guard by the radiation emanating from the creatures. Through the pain, he takes a step back and pretends to dive behind the telescope, though he stays in place.

Move action: Guarded Step backwards
Standard Action: Clever Feint

Bluff: 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 6 + (2) = 20
Assuming that succeeds, the red elemental is flat-footed against everyone's attacks.

Astrator Fort save 1: 1d20 ⇒ 14
Astrator Fort save 2: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Alejandro pleads with Envar as he slashes his knife defensively through the air. The radiation soaks right through Zimsi's armor and into his skin, burning him. Zimsi bluffs the elemental as he pretends to dive behind the telescope, throwing it's footing off.

Astrator manages to keep the radiation at bay as he draws his knife.

Tactical knife: 1d20 ⇒ 9

He misses the elemental but Darqen manages to stab into the flames, hurting himself further as the radiation soaks into his hand. Unfortunately elementals cannot be crit and are unflankable.

The red solar elemental follows Zimsi, slamming into the telescope.

Red Slam vs Zimsi KAC 14: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage (B+F): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Green Slam vs Astrator KAC 15: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Damage (B+F): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

RED- (Alejandro, Astrator, and Zimsi) Need a DC 11 Fort save or take 2 damage from radiation.

GREEN- (Alejandro, Astrator, and Zimsi) Need a DC 11 Fort save or take 2 damage from radiation.

The telescope and elemental batter Zimsi once again. Intoxicated Envar laughs. “When did we get so close to the sun? Your whole body’s on fire!”

Round 3
Astrator
Darqen (SP 0/7; HP 6/8)
---------------------------------------
Solar Elemental (Red -3)
---------------------------------------
Alejandro
Zimsi (SP 0/7; HP 3/10)

fort save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Again Darqen uses his baton attack the elemental with the help of his computer guiding system!

tactical baton attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
tactical baton bludgeon damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Computers for trick attack (DC20+target CR): 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 4 = 31
Trick attack damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Fort Save DC 11: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Fort Save DC 11: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Alejandro continues shrugging off the radiation, years of exposure while traveling appear to have toughened him up.

Glancing behind him and seeing that his allies are all focusing on one, Alejandro points out what he thinks to be a weak point and yells, "get it. Hit it there! I'll keep this one occupied."

Get 'Em used on Red, +1 hit for allies.

Sorry about missing those fort saves

Hearing his comrade call out about laser fire, Astrator drops his rifle with an awful clunk, drawing out the small knife he keeps on him.

Knife: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2

Astrator yells over the combat "It is imperative that someone close the radiation shield!

Steeling himself after the painful blow, Zimsi backs slowly towards the wall.

I can't take much more of this...

Withdraw action.

Zimsi Fort save 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Zimsi Fort save 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Astrator Fort save 1: 1d20 ⇒ 7
Astrator Fort save 2: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Alejandro begins a small bit of coordination as he slashes his blade at the other elemental, and manages to catch something solid in the process.

Zimsi can't take much more from them and works on withdrawing behind the scope. He barely manages to get away as the radiation soaks into his body further.

Astrator slashes his own knife at the already wounded elemental as he hears that nearly all of the Starfinders laser weapons are useless. Astrator takes the full brunt of the mild radiation as it soaks into his circuits, melting them slightly.

Darquen dives in with his baton and cracks the red solar elemental over the head. The creature dissipates and returns to the sun.

The remaining solar elemental bears down on both Alejandro and Astrator.

Green Slam vs Astrator KAC 15: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 4 = 14

Green Slam vs Alejandro KAC 13: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 4 = 25
Damage (B+F): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Astrator dodges a lethal blow as Alejandro drops like a sack of potatoes as the elemental slams into his body, instantly knocking him out as he cracks his head.

You don't go below 0 HP. You are now Unconscious and Dying. At the end of each round (Starting next) you lose 1 RP. There are three ways to stabilize. (CRB Page 250-251)
1. Someone perform first aid DC 15 Medicine Check.
2. Any sort of healing
3. Spend RP = to 1/4 your max (Min 1). This will end the dying effect. You can spend additional RP to Stay in the fight by spending 1 additional RP. If you do you gain 1 HP and become conscious once again.

The elementals radiation continues to leak.

GREEN- (Alejandro, Astrator) Need a DC 11 Fort save or take 2 damage from radiation.

Round 4
Astrator (SP 1/5; HP 9/9)
Darqen (SP 0/7; HP 6/8)
---------------------------------------
Solar Elemental (Green -3)
---------------------------------------
Alejandro (SP 0/7; HP 0/10; Unconscious, Prone, Dying)
Zimsi (SP 0/7; HP 1/10)

Alejandro burns a Resolve Point to Stabilize as his body attempts to cling on to life.

DC 11 Fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

I'm not exactly sure what an additional 2 damage would do at this point, but I certainly take it.

The damage comes at the start of the turn so nothing really for you as it would damage. You would stay 0 Hp and then stabilize. Though next round it could start killing you again.

Well that helps my options a tiny bit. Still not looking great, but we shall see!

Darqen is now ready to attack the next elemental with the help of his computer guiding system!

tactical baton attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
tactical baton bludgeon damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Computers for trick attack (DC20+target CR): 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 4 = 15
Trick attack damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

All of our high probability options are no longer available

Pressing on, he attempts to distract the creature from his fallen companion

Knife: 1d20 ⇒ 7
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Alejandro begins to stabilize as Astrator attempts to push his blade further into the elemental but ends up getting temporarily blinded as it flares.

Darqen's computer guiding system proves little help as the solar flares cause it to get thrown off, though he still manages to catch the solar elemental with his knife.

Round 4
Astrator (SP 1/5; HP 9/9)
Darqen (SP 0/7; HP 6/8)
---------------------------------------
Solar Elemental (Green -6)
---------------------------------------
Alejandro (SP 0/7; HP 0/10; Unconscious, Prone)
Zimsi (SP 0/7; HP 1/10)

Breathing heavily, Zimsi steadies himself on the wall. He reaches for his belt, pulls out his hunting rifle, aims and fires.

The hunting rifle does piercing damage, so it should be fine.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Zimsi fires his hunting rifle at the elemental. The bullet pierces into the radioactive flames, though it isn't enough to drop it and it batters Astrator.

Green Slam vs Astrator KAC 15: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Damage (B+F): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Crit Damage (B+F): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

GREEN- (Alejandro, Astrator and Darqen) Need a DC 11 Fort save or take 2 damage from radiation.

The radiation pours back over the group as Astrator's body crumples in on itself from the blow.

You don't go below 0 HP. You are now Unconscious and Dying. At the end of each round (Starting next) you lose 1 RP. There are three ways to stabilize. (CRB Page 250-251)
1. Someone perform first aid DC 15 Medicine Check.
2. Any sort of healing
3. Spend RP = to 1/4 your max (Min 1). This will end the dying effect. You can spend additional RP to Stay in the fight by spending 1 additional RP the following round. If you do you gain 1 HP and become conscious once again.

@Alejandro- If you fail you are just dying again and need to spend another RP. If pass then you are good to go.

[ooc]Round 5
Astrator (SP 0/5; HP 0/9; Unconscious, Prone, Dying)
Darqen (SP 0/7; HP 6/8)
---------------------------------------
Solar Elemental (Green -8)
---------------------------------------
Alejandro (SP 0/7; HP 0/10; Unconscious, Prone)
Zimsi (SP 0/7; HP 1/10)

fort save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Again Darqen uses his baton to attack the elemental with the help of his computer guiding system but he is clearly afraid now!

tactical baton attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
tactical baton bludgeon damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
tactical baton bludgeon CRIT damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Computers for trick attack (DC20+target CR): 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 4 = 27
Trick attack damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Fort DC 11: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

As the radiation soaks deeper into his unconscious body, it saps more of his resolve. Taking the very last bit that he has, Alejandro barely clings to life.

-1 RP for taking damage while stabilized, -1 RP to Stabilize again.

Holy crits!
Fort: 1d20 ⇒ 17

-1 RP for dying and -1 RP to stabilize. Can I spend another RP (total of 3) and be back in the fight this round? If so, I want to do that- and then administer my Mk1 Healing to Alejandro before he dies....

RP 3/5

We need to take this thing down! We're dropping like flies!

Zimsi takes aim again, steadies his breath, and fires.

Hunting Rifle: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Well that's terrible...

Astrator, you should only have to spend 1 RP to Stabilize. I lost an extra one on my turn because I was at 0 and then took more damage.

Also, Alejandro is currently stabilized and has an Mk1 Healing on his body so if we do get a chance I'd suggest using his instead of your own. But thank you very much for thinking of me first instead of yourself!!!

Alejandro's body is ravaged by the radiation as Zimsi's hands shake too much and tosses his aim off by a small margin.

Astrator's nanobites begin to seal the holes in his frame to stop him from leaking out too much as Darqen saves everyone's life. With last precise slash from his dagger the solar elemental returns to the sun, leaving behind a small pile of ash in its absence.

Envar squeals with glee and rushes over. He goes on to post an infosphere-wide update, along with a selfie of himself and you that reads “Envar and friends 1, Sun 0.” Even though Alejandro and Astrator are prone on the ground with small pools of blood and chemical fluid underneath them.

That was a tough fight when everyone brought lasers with them :)

Wow! That fight really had TPK potential! ;-) To be honest also the first fight with the alien beast was really hard and Astrator saved the day!!! Good team work!

Darqen is speechless and looks at the remains of the elementals with horror. Then he immediately starts to check if anybody needs first aid!

Is everybody stabilized now?

Yup, everyone is stabilized, though Alejandro is out of resolve so he will not be able to rest to regain Stamina. Just heal for HP is all. Hope you guys have a few healing serums.

Darqen sits down on the floor and starts to breathe heavily!

Spending a resolve point to regain SP with rest.

After resting Darqen looks through his comrades gear and uses Alejandro's healing serum on him.

Alejandro's healing serum: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Then he continues and also looks through Astrator's gear and does the same thing.
Astrator's healing serum: 1d8 ⇒ 8
