Hmm’s 1-99: Scoured Stars Invasion (Tier 5-6) (Inactive)

Game Master Hmm

Sorami takes the lead on diplomacizing the group again. "While the air is quite lovely here, I am afraid it will not last, you see you are Starfinders and are being made to feel at ease when in fact you are in great danger, if you could kindly come with us, we will help you out of this particular trouble." Sorami looks around at the simulation and longs for her life on Castrovel and the lush plant life there while maintaining her focus on rescuing the Starfinders.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27 Lead Again

"Plus, there's an awesome picnic going on right now on the other side of the hills over there. I assume there are hills, if not I will point out some other geological feature. Auto-aid bluff

Botting Antonine

Pondering on the problem for a moment Antonine has an ephiany as he retrieves a camera.

"While this place is certainly could be from the cover of a periodical from years ago this is nothing close to the majesty the universe holds a mere thought away."

Quickly sliding through images of alien vistas, colorful flora, and unidentified fauna Antonine doesn't link on an single shot for long. He quickly moves from one to another as he passes through cityscapes, underwater mountains, and vibrant jungles.

"This place is clean and sanitary but lacks that critical life one needs from a shot. While this place might seem nice, it is merely because you have yet to see the vast sceneries from planets beyond the Pact and even further across the planes. What you have here isn't even fit for syndication."

Antonine Bluff with Ivok and Sorami Aid: 1d20 + 13 + 1d6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 13 + (5) + 1 + 4 = 36

Love the line “isn’t fit for syndication!”

“Not fit for syndication?” The dwarf shakes himself, stepping back from the picnic. As he does, his lacy clothes morph into practical explorer gear. “I once traveled the entire Pact worlds and beyond into the Vast. I once catalogued countless bits of wildlife — from the deserts of Akiton to the wise planet of Arkanen to living structures and dwellings in the Brethedan clouds. How much time have I spent in this picnic?”

“I’m Barakul. I used to lead a group of rangers, and now I’m stuck in a Universe that looks like the toddler nature shows I used to watch with my nephews and nieces!”

As he shakes himself clear, he says, “This place... It’s drawing on our subconscious, right? But that means we can draw from it as well!’ He concentrates, and wings sprout in his back. “Oh yeah! That’s what I’m talking about!”

He provides you with a secret technique that allows you to grow wings, gaining a fly speed of 30 feet (Ex, average).

Culture: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

"Then, you are one who led the Barakul’s Blazers. My databanks have identified that unti as an assembly of skilled explorers, rangers, and survivalists." Sev notes, "However, according to our information, the entire group was reported lost following the expedition to the Scoured Stars."

Sev concentrates. As wings sprout from his artificial form, he takes to the air and looks for other groups of potentially trapped Starfinder agents.

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19

Culture: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

“Does that mean the rest of the rangers may be here as well?”

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Before you can even begin to search for other Starfinders, you’re interrupted by a sudden yet inevitable betrayal...

“Well, isn’t this little reunion delightful?” Jodain appears at the corner of the park. “I gave you a chance. I welcomed you. I gave you a friendly ‘Place’ where you could fit in, have fun, and ultimately perform calculations for us — being far more useful to us than your indolent little selves would ever achieve otherwise. But you weren’t content to fit in, were you? No! You had to go upsetting people, pulling them out of their routines, and interrupt months and months of important calculations!” He sneers, his form shuddering...

...and the human form disappears, replaced by a huge and terrifying Angel. Wings sprout out of his back and he pulls out a sword of shimmering light as he glares at all of you. “I can also grow wings. I can be anything I want! And what I want most of all is to wipe your pernicious influence from the ‘Place’ so that I can reboot the whole system!”

He’s so busy monologuing that you all get to act before him!

Oh look, a map on SLIDE ONE

I assume I would read both spoilers because of Ready for Anything?

“He can shift form, right now he is pretending to be an angel! If anyone has a holy weapon, now is the time to use it!”

More to come, need to look at the slide and some other things.

Historia-6: The technique will help everyone in the team see their enemies' DR, resistances, and current HP as a free action — it lasts only in the virtual world.

Silack: He shares a secret technique that allows all of you to change what type of damage their weapons deal as though they had a corrosive, flaming, frost, or shock weapon fusion (each PC can choose one of the listed fusions).

Barakul: He provides you with a secret technique that allows you to grow wings, gaining a fly speed of 30 feet (Ex, average).

You can read both spoilers! Also in the spirit of Historia-6’s gift, you know that it has 105 hit points and current Resistance 7 to Acid, Cold, Electricity and Fire.

Ninja’d by the Ysoki!

Knowing that they won't be able to determine anything more than Neon Ten, Al instead mentally signals Yang to withdraw to a safe distance. The android quickly leverages the technique described to them by Historia-6 to learn this enemy's "DR, resistances, and current HP as a free action".

Edit: Didn't see Neon Ten's edited post before making mine. Questions for the GM - how often can we use these techniques, and what is the action economy of the two non-free-action ones? Thanks very much!

Seeing the sheer size of this opponent, Al has Ruby activate their Energy Shield as a standard action as they move to spread out from the group, drawing their rifle along the way and disengaging the Merciful weapon fusion - a virtual construct such as this is likely to be immune to nonlethal tactics!

@Al 203 — You can use these techniques once each round, just like the creature.

@Al 203 — Rtep absolutely applies here. That said, I hope that the other group can use the secret techniques to leverage an advantage!

Camera (husket)+imp. Get'em: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 = 17vs KAC
Piercing: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Using historia's help, Antoine adds the scoop gun to his camera and shoots.

Prior post had Sev airborne, but not sure he got to do so before the "angel" appeared.

Sev casts supercharge weapon on his laser rifle.
Am I correct that all missions took place on the same day, so no recharge of spells?

You’re airborne, Sev! No recharge of spells, but the spells used here don’t affect your remaining daily count. Go nuts!

Neon casts a spell and two missiles fly from him and hit Jodain.
Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6

He then runs away to hide behind a chair! He drops prone behind it.

Al activates an Energy Shield and positions, carefully turning the merciful fusion off. Antoine activates Get ‘Em and fires, but his shot goes wild! Sev continues flying and supercharges his rifle. Neon hits Jodain with two magic missiles, drawing first blood, and then drops prone!

================================

Ivok runs forward going wings as he leaps into the air taking off after Jodain.

"We are not your playthings!"

Double move, threatening Jodian with pike. Coordinated shot should give everyone +1 at ranged attacks as long as I'm not granting cover.

“And that is why your disastrous influence must be removed!” Jodain boasts, showing off his glamorous wings.

Jodain (-6)

================================

Sorami moves to below the bikes and tries to district the creature.

trick attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30

sonic pistol: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 and miss.

The creature full attacks Ivok with its sword of light, slashing eagerly at the Vesk.

Jodain’s Sword of Light: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 18 - 4 = 22
Slashing Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 6) + 12 = 22

Jodain’s Sword of Light: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 18 - 4 = 22
Slashing Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (2, 5) + 12 = 19

However, it is clear that it is not used to fighting opponents that are so short, and both sword cuts miss the Vesk by inches.

“Bah, I was going to make an example of you! Stay still!”

Just to show off how awesome he is, Jodain shifts forms again. His wings disappear completely, and he becomes metallic with internal guns built into his arms.

1d4 ⇒ 4

“Maybe you thought you could set yourself against an angel, but now I’m a giant ROBOT. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Wait until you fight me now, lizard boy!”

He’s at 99 hitpoints. He has construct immunities, DR 5/ and is now vulnerable to electricity.

Jodain the ROBOT (-6)

================================

The whole team’s up!

"I don't even have to see him to be able to tell you Robots are vulnerable to Electricity!" Neon Ten shouts while cowering behind the chair.

He begins casting another spell.

Free action to shout. Cast Summon Monster II. That has a casting time of 1 round.

Still prone and getting as much cover as he can!

Camera (plasma)+imp. Get'em: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 22vs eac.
Électricity!: 1d10 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11

"He is vulnérable! Hit with all your might!"

Antoine takes out His scoop and return to the plasma setting. His fingers dabble the camera as hé use Silah's secret technique.

spend one resolve, all of you have a +2 to damage and attack

Neon summons. Antoine hits the creature with Plasma!

Bzzzzzzzt!

Jodain takes some electrical damage!

Round 2
Active conditions: All the virtual tricks that you learned from Historia, Silask and Barakul are at your disposal. Jodain currently has DR 5/-, 83 hit points, construct immunities, and vulnerable to electricity. GET’ EM (+2 damage, +2 attack) on Jodain lasts until Antoine’s turn.

================================

Jodain the ROBOT (-24)

================================

The whole team’s up!

Ivok stumbles a bit after dodging those two close blows, but after a moment he grounds himself.

"I will admit, I've been wanting to punch a shapechanging AI for a few months now. Come on and fight me!"

Screaming full force Ivok augments the runes on his pike to include the power of electricty as he strikes at the giant.

Using Silask's ability, cryopike is gaining the shock fusion and full attack Jodain. Includes get 'ems +2 to to attack and damage.

Thrust-Tactical Cryopike vs EAC (reach): 1d20 + 10 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 4 + 2 = 27
Cold/Electricity Damage: 1d8 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 2 = 19
10 electricity, 9 cold

Thrust-Tactical Cryopike vs EAC (reach): 1d20 + 10 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 - 4 + 2 = 17
Cold/Electricity Damage: 1d8 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 2 = 19

Reminder: Coordinated shot gives +1 to ranged attacks against Jodain.

Al will manifest the wings that the Starfinders told the team about, just to see what it's like to experience flight without using their jump-jets. They will also utilize the other technique to make their weapon more electrified (Shock weapon fusion). They will task Ruby with activating Combat Tracking (move action) and will then open fire!

(Modifiers: Combat tracking +2, Get 'em +2, Coordinated shot +1)

Shock Hutchket Rifle: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 17 vs. KAC
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 (Half piercing half electricity)
...likely missing.

Sorami stays where she is and fires at the creature with trick attack.

Trick Attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 My dice are cursed

Botting Sev

Realigning the resonance of the rifle to magic the laser rifle is primed with plasma as he takes careful aim toward the rapidly shifting simulation.

Taking shock fusion onto rifle and taking single shot at Jodain. Including bonuses from Get 'Em and Coordinated Shot

Ranged (Laser rifle, azimuth), supercharged: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 19
Damage (F/E): 1d8 + 6 + 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (6, 5, 1, 3) + 2 = 29 vs EAC
15 electricity, 14 fire. 36 total after vulnerability.

Eager to punch a shape-changing AI in the nose, Ivok hits with his first swing of the cryoblade but not the second.

Likewise Al, Sorami, and Sev all miss!

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

Jodain cannot resist using his built-in guns, even though it will trigger an attack of opportunity.

“You know what I hate? I hate that stupid camera!” Jodain says as he fires the gun at Antoine.

Ranged Sonic vs Antoine: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 18 - 4 = 30
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 1) + 12 = 14

Ivok gets an attack of opportunity against Jodain in Robot form.

“And now for you. You should know that when you punch shape-changing AIs, they punch back!”

Ranged Sonic vs Ivok: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 18 - 4 = 31
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 4) + 12 = 19

Then Jodain says, “Now... we can’t have you take advantage of that electrical vulnerability, can we? What should we become now?”

1d4 ⇒ 2

“Ah, PERFECT!” The metallic skin gives way to leathery reddened spikes, with horns sprouting out of his head. “I’m a demon, and I’ll send you straight to hell!”

He’s a Demon, with DR 5/Good, 59 hit points, immunity to acid, death effects, disease, and poison; resistance 7 to cold, electricity, and fire.

================================

Jodain the DEMON (-48)

================================

The whole team’s up!

Al deactivates the elemental weapon fusion as they take aim once again for a full-attack, calmly observing;

"Demon? Hm. A caricature at best, perhaps."

Hutchket Rifle 1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 31 vs. KAC
Critical Piercing Damage: 2d10 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 12 + 4 = 22

Wound Critical Hit Effect
Wound: 1d20 ⇒ 11
DC 17 Reflex Save or Jodain loses an eye (-2 Perception)

Hutchket Rifle 2: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 12 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13

Although the first shot is aimed (literally) "right between the eyes" - the second is shot extremely wide.

Camera (husket)+imp. Get'em: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 17

kinetic: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

"The camera is my life!"

Antoine changes for his scoope and continues.

“It seems you just can’t make up your mind.” Neon says as he completes his spell. “Perhaps your raandomizer settings are off?”

As the summons appears, he directs “Shoot that thing for me, please.”

It is good to have a mystic foe identification system, otherwise my summons would have trouble figuring out who I mean.

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Al shoots out the Demon’s eye! “OW! You’ll pay for that!”

Antoine gets so worried about the implied threat to his cameral that his hands shake and he misses!

Jodain currently has DR 5/-, 40 hit points, immunity to acid, death effects, disease, and poison; resistance 7 to cold, electricity, and fire.

Jodain the DEMON (-65, Missing an Eye)

“Targetting engaged! Firing!”

Sonic gun, Coordinated shot: 1d20 + 9 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 4 + 1 = 22
Sonic damage: POW!: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Sonic gun, Coordinated shot: 1d20 + 9 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 4 + 1 = 9
Sonic damage: POW!: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

For such small robots, they sure are loud!

Edit: Git’Em is mind effecting. Seems it doesn’t work for my robot buddies!

Neon Ten gets up, moves out to where he can see Jodain, and releases another set of Magic Missles.

Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 = 8

Racial allows him to stand as a swift action.

VR spells cast 2 1st, 1 2nd

Sorami does the same thing she always does.

Trick Attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36
Attack, Get Em, Coordinated Shot: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Damage: 2d8 + 6d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 6) + (4, 2, 3, 3, 3, 8) + 4 = 38

Both attacks include Get 'em.

AoO
Thrust-Tactical Cryopike vs EAC (reach): 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 = 19
Electricity/Cold Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Thrust-Tactical Cryopike vs EAC (reach): 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 = 14
Cold Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Swift to turn off shock fusion, guarded step back, attack.

Ivok begins taking steps back to withdraw as his job in combat is nearly complete. He presses a less aggressive attack though as he avoids an errant claw.

"I would expect nothing less than to be struck down by you. Your blows feel weak though. Maybe if you did training with one form rather than borrowing the bodies of others!"

Reminder: Coordinated shot gives +1 to ranged attacks against Jodain unless he moves more than 10 feet from me.

The creature is not flatfooted, so both Ivok’s attack of opportunity and his regular attack miss. Neon’s summoned buddy shows Jodain that both sides can have robots, and hits with one of its sonic attacks! Then Neon Magic Missiles, and Sorami brings the creature down with a sonic shot right through its missing eye!

COMBAT OVER

As Jodain falls, the simulation blurs, all of its colors swirling until they straighten again into a rainbow bridge that you and fhe formerly captive Starfinders start to walk upon. At the end of it is a blinding light and...

You wake up.

“You did it!” One of the technicians says as he hurries around, helping everyone disengage from their pods. “Did you have to do everyone at once?”

“Let me out first!” Historia-6 says. “I need to get to command central, and see what a mess my successor has made of things.” He hurries away without a backward glance at all of you, but the other Starfinders that you rescued clamber around you, shaking your hands.

“If I never have to see another cheery smiling flower, I’m good with that! Great job, Starfinders!”

SUCCESS!

Seeing Historian-6’s reaction, Neon Ten takes a moment to send a message to Historia-7 warning her of the current mood her predecessor. That was abrupt, even for an Android.

Then he smiles and talks to a few of the rescued Starfinders, encouraging them to help the technicians get everyone going so they can be ready to leave this system soon.

“It is a team effort, really. Do not underestimate the talents of the people that inserted us into the simulation.”

“We have more of the expedition to rescue, please if any of you has information that might help us with further rescue efforts, share it with the personnel. That willl help our fleet coordinate other rescues.”

“We are going to rescue everyone we can!”

EVACUATION MISSION 5: SANDS OF OBLIVION

Radaszam, leader of the Acquisitives faction, briefs the PCs for this mission. “Recon teams who visited an ancient city gained information on Starfinders who may be stuck on the desert planet Callion-1. We sent a ship closer to the planet to scan it and turns out, the intel was good; there are Starfinders down there. It’s a tidally locked world where one side is a frigid tundra and the other a blazing hot wasteland. If that doesn’t sound bad enough, our weather scans show there’s a gigantic magnetic storm raging in the part of the planet where our friends are. Flying vehicles won’t be safe to fly anywhere near the storm, which is why you’ll be using two all-terrain vehicles to reach them!”

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

Before they leave, you can customize their two all-terrain transport vehicles. You have to take both vehicles. Each has two turrets in addition to the standard features, and the PCs can have the following types of weapons (supplied by the fleet’s armory) to be installed in the turrets (one per turret): advanced shirreneye rifle (2d10 P), advanced X-gen gun (2d12 P), or tactical magnetar rifle (2d8 P). When mounted, a weapon is more stable to shoot, and the penalties for shooting while the vehicle is moving at a normal or full speed are reduced by 6 in Subtier 1–2, by 4 in Subtier 3–4, and by 2 in Subtier 5–6.

You have two vehicles, the Green Galoot and the Pink Punk.
Please change your avatar’s background on SLIDE ONE to Pink or Green to indicate which vehicle you are travelling in, and note here what weapons you are installing in each turret.

"I will admit after those first missions I was becoming discouraged, but being able to save them gives my hope. We can do more!"

Ivok will be joining the Green Galoot as a gunner. I will be installing the advanced X-gen gun and, if I have time, will be spending 10 minutes to imbue the gun with the my Rune of the Eldritch Knight and giving it the frost fusion.

Spending time and resolve to recover stamina if able.

@Ivok — There will be enough time when flying to Callion-1 to recover stamina.

Sev board the PinkPunk.

Neon Ten also gets aboard the Pink Punk. I guess that ability to use any weapon can be useful. Oh well...

“Can someone please show me the basics of using this weapon?” he asks, gesturing to the Tactical Magnetar Rifle being installed.

The cars take off across the Desert!

Riding in the Pink Punk: Al 203, Neon Ten, Sev+!

Riding in the Green Galoot: Antoine, Ivok and Sorami!

At first, all is smooth as you ride along, the desert sands spinning in clouds behind you. The weather’s hot, but dry and clear.

Then in the distance behind you, you hear the roar of a Sand Slitherer. It is following in your wake, darting and dashing across the sands! It is traveling across the open desert, but you and your buggies have just entered the dunes. Your wheels sink into the deep sand, making it hard to pilot!

-2 for piloting checks in the dunes.

It is time to do a Vehicle Chase Scene!

So, here’s how we’re going to do this. Let’s have all of you post actions now, and I will weave them into a coherent initiative order.

PILOTS — Post your Pilot Actions please! You can have everything including rolls in the open.

PASSENGERS —Please post all rolls under spoilers so that everyone can post their Round One actions. Feel free to have all your dialogue and fluff text OUTSIDE of the spoiler! You can post combat actions but they will rely on where everyone is.

The face of Antoine sulks as the photojournalist takes the driver's seat of Green Galot.

I do pictures, I am not a pilot. Yeah, I learn to drive during my young years at the Stewards, but how many marvelous places and events the public Will not see because of this?

"I am flatter that you choose me as a pilot. " hé Says while having a body language that Say the contrary.

---------

Sand Worm? But I didn't put Spice on me Today!

Antoine, you are an Icon! You are just as sexy as the Old Spice Man! Now, give me those Pilot Actions! You can do it!

Seeing the pursuit, Neon Ten calls out “Huge sand slitherer behind us and closing fast!”

He then decides a little help would be useful and there are all the empty seats. He starts his summoning.

Summon Monster II

"Aaaaaaahhhhh! I knew something interesting to shoot will be there while I drive]!

Antoine tries to keep pace. He have difficulty to control this "all-terrain" véhicule in the dune. But he kept pace

1d20 + 14 - 4 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 14 - 4 - 2 + 2 = 15
Thunderstrike Sonic Pistol: 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 3 = 24
Thunderstrike Sonic Pistol: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 -

WORMY’S PILOT ACTIONS

Wormy, seeing delicious food ahead, attempts a SPEED UP action.

Speed Up (DC 26 for Tier 9 Vehicle - Wormy): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

Wormy races to catch up with your vehicles, it’s maw wide!

Pronto Pink Punk Piloting Post

Prior to landing, the android professor activates their armor's environmental seals, just in case.

While driving, Al hears Neon Ten's call-out and risks a quick look in the ATV's rear-view mirror, as their grad student Yang starts calling out, "must go faster, must go faster!"
