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

Game Master Hmm

Ivok makes nervous glances about as he gives a light hissing laugh.

"Well do try to make friends with most things. Only some of them have tried to kill us. Even on my own it can be fun meeting with a friend for some sparring with a back and forth of blows. Hah."

"Right now I have been using my pike a lot. Just purchased it a few days ago and I have hit a lot of new friends with it. And some that were not friends. What sort of weapons do you have?" Ivok glances back at the altar, "They would seem to be a bit messy."

"Rather than interview? Maybe your god would like to keep sleeping?
I know many races that just love sleep. Normally I encourage people to be active, but you know, everyone is different, maybe your slumbering god should stay slumbering. If they weren't then they would need a new name! Ha~... heh ...ha."

Hi boys, girls and hosts! I'll be subbing in temporarily for Hmm in GMing this Special until she is once again running at full steam! While I might not be able to keep up her breakneck pace, I'll do my best :>

The disembodied voice takes on a pleased tone, answering Antoine with "When the slumbering god returns, you will enjoy the immense magnitude of his presence. You will hear him speak to you if you are worthy." and Ivok with "I bear no weapons, for none are needed in this place." The voice takes on a tinge of regret at that fact.

"The pike you bear is quite wonderful, though I am curious about the other fine weapons you and the others bring here. Their make is exquisite, like nothing within these walls."

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Mysticism: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Survival: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

“I find it interesting that only the weapons interest you, not our other equipment.”

“In any case, could you please tell us if any of the Pathfinders are here? Although we are always looking to expand our knowledge, we wish to complete our current task as quickly as feasible.”

I think the creature is just well hidden. Lots of dark spaces here.

Hearing of a lack of weapons doesn't fill the vesk with glee, but he makes a bare attempt to not let that show. "You know, that is good.
It makes me feel much safer knowing one doesn't need to carry a weapon on hand. This place certainly makes me feel ... so safe. Do you not need weapons because this place is protected by your god?"

His eyes wander the room again and once more they can't help but linger on the statue and the altar before it. "Se-," he starts to say before deciding that the friendship hasn't reached where one shares names so openly. "My brother, you said the statue isn't something known among the Pact Worlds, but do you recognize the title of this Slumbering God?"

Aside complete Ivok turns his attention back to the room again as he speaks openly to the voice.
"Oh I have trinkets here and there. Guns and other pieces I've had for months. Aside from that I would like to say I am my own best weapon. Put a lot of time in at the gym to keep myself fighting when I should be running. How long have you been here?"

[dice=Mysticism re possible allusions to existence of a "Slumbering God"]1d20+11[/dice]

"For one who is 'slumbering', it would appear that you are rather quite cognizant, attentive, and conversational." Sev notes.

The voice rings out a peal of laughter, growing more pleased "Ah, you mentioned you had a rescue mission. It was to rescue... Pathfinders? I am sorry to say you'll find no such individuals here. All I have here are these... Starfinders. But you need not worry about them, they are not what you seek. And in any case, they are mine now."

"As you deduce, little one, this place is protected by the Slumbering God. He is formidable indeed. And while I am attentive and awake, I am but the Slumbering God's Voice. I have been here for as long as he has slumbered. Maintaining vigilance here has been a privilege for myself alone..."

The voice calms slightly, becoming conversational. "Now, I believe we have come to know each other, but I am still curious. Are there any among you who wield magic? I should like to talk to them directly, for there is much we could learn from one another."

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 (+2 if it's mind-affecting unless it targets androids)
Mysticism: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Medicine: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Al remains silent in these interactions, not certain but suspecting that trading information with a disembodied voice is not considered a form of data collection that will be accepted by peer-reviewed journals, and will confirm Ivok's findings while thumbing the merciful fusion on their rifle to the "off" position.

"If you possess our fellow Starfinders, then you should be adequately versed in the nature and capabilities of the weapons utilized by Starfinder agents, as well as the mystical knowledge held by the organization." Sev notes, hoping to elicit more information as to indicate what this "Voice" has done to his fellow agents and his likely intentions for the party.

Sorry, I was rushing through my various PbPs to update them. Mind must have still been in the Solstice Scar C table I’m running.

Looking a little embarrassed, Neon Ten says “Sorry, I meant Starfinders. Although if you did have any Pathfinders here we would also love to meet them. What little lore we have about them is absolutely fascinating...” Neon Ten suddenly realizes he is rambling and changes direction.

——
After Sev+’s comment

“Back to what you said, it sounds rather lonely. Is that why you say they belong to you? If it is just that you want to converse with other sentient beings, I would like to suggest there are better ways of doing it.”

Back to bed. Will try to update again in the morning.

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 4

What is this voice after? It seems only interested in offensive capabilities — not defenses. What of this slumbering god? Is it somehow linked to the Izalguun as well?

I do not like what I have seen so far.

What happened to the silhouettes of people huddling in the shadows that we saw earlier?

@Neon Ten — They watched as you passed but you heard no sounds.

“I am more interested now in you. Did I not ask that question politely enough? I wished to know whom amongst you wields magic, and you keep changing the subject.” The voice sounds almost pouty.

“Now, please answer my question!” You feel a magical effect wash over you as the creature pressing you for the truth. “Who wields magic here? Which ones of you are skilled in the mystical arts? I have so much to share with you.”

Thanks, GM Cellion!

Thanks, GM Cellion!

Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

"An exchange of knowledge is often mutually beneficial to all parties involved." Sev remarks. "Were we capable of imparting mystical knowledge, what information would you be able to provide in exchange? That securing the release of any Starfinder agents, perhaps?"

Thanks, GM Cellion!

Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

"My Friend is right." Antoine continues. "I have on me the archives of the journal I work for since His beginning. You seem to have such a thirst of knowledge that we could give it to you."

And if you want to join our organisation, Every Day, you would something...and you would have access to weapon that for sure.

diplo: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Anyway... This creature doesn't seem hostile. Let's bluff.

"I am a spellcaster. I can manipulate minds, images and and use fire and électricity. Hundred of thousand of people know my name. Some in fear, most with respect."

(bluff): 1d20 + 1d6 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (17) + (6) + 13 + 1 = 37

reroll bluff cunning liar: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

“Ah, excellent! I knew there had to be at least one exceptional spellcaster in a rescue party. Thank you for your honesty. Before we talk, let me give you a chance to show off your arcane arts, as a host should.” A large fiendish creature with blackened skin appears next to Antoine! It spreads their wide wings and gnashes their sharp teeth.

“However, I don’t want the rest of you to feel left out.” A second large fiendish appears, this one more reddish in hue, right behind Neon Ten, Al, and Sorami. “Did you three mention any weapons? I cannot remember if you did, but here’s your chance to show them off!”

Meanwhile, the disembodied voice remarks, “Eat the spellcaster first, and then you may have the others for dessert.”

Ivok takes a strong grip on his pike with their appearance.

"Things out of my nightmares." After a moment of fear he pumps his fist into his chest before giving a Vesk warcry.

"Time to put you to bed alongside your slumbering god."

"Another thing trying to kill us. How expected."

trick attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (6) + 21 = 27

Antoine asks the blackened demon to smile for the camera, and flashes it with a surprise attack that leaves it flat-footed!

Demon Fort Save vs severed limb critical wound effect: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

And apparently, one-footed! Antoine shoots its leg off, decreasing its land speed! It is now HOPPING mad!

The disembodied voice says, “That is one unusual... spell. Do show me more.”

Sorami sees the demon, runs and misses!

Al and Neon 10 retreat toward Ivok, the meat shield. Al activated His energy shield.

Antoine, you would have known the creatures have reach.

Botting Neon

Neon casts a quick incantation to draw upon dormant nanites and with a touch disrupt the demon long enough to allow for a rapid escape.

Inject Nanobots: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 vs. EAC
Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (6, 2, 6, 4) = 18 DC 18 Fort half Damage and not confused. May attempt DC 18 Will at beginning of turn to end the confusion

Neon will cast inject nanites (doesn't provoke) and then will move away (which will provoke).

It is the demons turn! Red tries to take a bite out of the fleeing Starfinders!

Attack of opportunity on Al: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27
Bite (piercing Damage): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Chomp!

Red Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
It takes nine damage from the Nanobots, and is not confused.

Then Red chases after the one who is all alone, Sorami.
Bite: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
Bite (piercing Damage): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Black, enraged by losing a leg, full attacks Antoine!
Bite: 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 15 - 4 = 20
Bite (piercing Damage): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Bite: 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 15 - 4 = 19
Bite (piercing Damage): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

However the black fiend’s lost leg affects his balance and he misses both times!

“How hard is it to eat one spell casting journalist? Hmmph.... You did say you were good with illusions? What a fascinating chat we’ll have if you survive this.”

Ivok
Sev

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

The whole team is up!

Ivok quickly tries to break the fiend with a powerful thrust, but his body convulses with disgust as he moves toward the demon. He needs to take a moment to compose himself.

"I hate this feeling, but I will overcome it! Everyone strike together! Show them we are no meal!"

Thrust-Tactical Cryopike vs EAC (reach): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Cold Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Coordinated shot: +1 to ranged attacks vs black demon.

Urged on by the vesk, Sev fires his laser rifle at the demon before him. (Black)
Ranged (Laser rifle, azimuth) w/coordinated shot: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 14
Damage (F): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

He then steps back toward far side of the statue.

The agile photojournalist dodges and crunchs to evade the attacks.

"More difficult than you think!" responds Antoine.

He starts to sing in a Strange language that feel ancien and guttural.

"Feel the power of the Legendary Bard!"

Clever attack (bluff): 1d20 + 1d6 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (15) + (1) + 13 + 1 = 30
Camera (husquet)+imp. Get'em: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 17vs kAC
piercing: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 de la
Cunning liar (if under 7): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Sorami moves around the creature and distracts it with her wit.

trick attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38
attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 2 = 23 versus flat footed EAC of black demom. If that hits I will make it off target.

damage: 1d8 + 3d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + (5, 2, 3) + 2 = 17

Al's energy shield absorbs the demon's attack as they move. They activate combat tracking on the black demon (change this to red if it's brought down) before opening fire!

Hutchket Rifle: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 25 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Also I will not be taking AoOs. Instead if someone adjacent to Ivok is attacked I will grant them +2 AC (and lower my AC by 2 until the start of my turn.

Missed Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
“I know some magic.”

Mysticism: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
“...but not enough to recognize those.”

Neon Ten hopes black is almost dead. He moves towards it in hopes that this provokes it to attack.
Mobility +4 AC Ivok +2 AC so total of AC 26 vs provoked attack.

(I think I missed a will save in there, sorry)
Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 (+2 if mind-affecting unless it targets androids)

Mysticism: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

"These are summoned demons. They tend to gravitate towards a a actions that perpetrate evil and/or chaos. They are almost certainly extraplanar in origin." Sev notes.

"Such demons," the android continues in an almost clinical manner, as the creature attempts to inflict serious bodily harm to his companions, "are predominantly unphased by exposure to toxins or electric discharges that would be fatal to most living creatures. Indeed, these demons are rather resistant to all forms of injury, but even more so those inflicting by sources of acid, cold, or fire energy."

He cocks his head and continues, as if narrating a lecture. "It is likely, however, that a weapon adequately infused with positive energies, one that is--'good', if you will--is one most likely to inflict wounds to these creatures that are negative--'bad', if you will."

Ivok and Sev both miss Black. Sorami does a graceful trick attack and causes the Black Demon another 17 damage! Al shoots, but some of the damage is absorbed by the creature’s natural defenses. Black takes an attack of opportunity!

Black’s Bite on Al: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Black’s teeth slides off Al’s armor!

Neon Ten moves in, injects nanobots...

Black Demon Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

...and this time they take hold, causing the Black Demon to fall!

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

“So you took down one of my helpers, did you?”

The voice pauses thoughtfully. “Good for you! Of course, good for me that I sent for back up...”

You hear the rumbling sound above of a starship landing. “Oh!! Oh! This is so exciting!”

“We’ll get you, little rat, and your nanobots too!”

“Get going on the rat already!! He’s even fun-sized. Easy to swallow!”

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

It’s Red’s turn. He goes flies clumsily right through Ivok’s threatened area to eat the snack-sized ysoki!

I’ll give you the opportunity under changing circumstances to take that attack of opportunity if you wish, Ivok!

Bite: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
Piercing Damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Chomp!

Al takes a guarded step away from the red demon and fires their rifle at it!

(+2 from get 'em, +1 from Ivok)

Hutchket Rifle: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 30 vs. KAC (red might have cover, though, given our team's positioning)
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Thank you, I will take that attack of opportunity.

AoO vs Red Demon. Includes Get 'em.
Thrust-AoO Tactical Cryopike vs EAC (reach): 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 = 19
Cold Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Ivok repeated stabs at the demon trying in a desperate attempt to arrest it's movement and drive it away from his allies. "Do you think that we are toys to be played with? Do you think us so weak or do you think you are beyond your reach?"

Standard Attack vs Red Demon. Includes Get 'em.
Thrust-Tactical Cryopike vs EAC (reach): 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 = 15
Cold Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Coordinated shot to give +1 to ranged attacks vs red demon as long as I'm not providing cover.

Ivok takes the attack of opportunity, but discovers the creature is resistant and it does not do quite as much damage as he hoped. Still, he gets in a good hit!

Antoine flashes the camera in the face and makes it flat-footed! His glamoured huchket hits! Al makes his shot as well! Then Ivok strikes again as part of his turn!

Red Damage Tracker: 9 + 5 + 7 + 13 + 15 = 49

Red, taken aback by his snack’s feistiness, misses!

As his initial shot had failed to connect, Sev decides that a short spread may increase his chances of striking the remaining demon.

"Your trip to the material realm is at an end. If you will forgive the archaic expression," Sev informs the summoned creature. "it is time to... 'de-plane'."

(Full attack)

Ranged (Laser rifle, azimuth), full attack: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 4 = 25
Damage (F): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Ranged (Laser rifle, azimuth), full attack: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 4 = 20
Damage (F): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Good old, Sev! Increasing the odds for a crit paid off!
Additional crit Damage (F): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Sorami moves up and trick attacks the red demon.

Trick Attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28
if CR 8 or less flat-footed

Thunderstrike Sonic Pistol: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 25 versus EAC FF.

Damage: 3d8 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 7, 5) + (1) + 2 = 19 and make him off target.

Ding-Dong the Demon’s dead! A good thing too, because here come the back-up team!

The jinsuls are huge armored bug thugs with cybernetic legs that are bursting all over with weapons like flame throwers and grenades! They race in to the temple, doing powerful leaps like fleas! The nasty-looking one in the orange armor is in the lead!

Observing one of the newcomers, Sev exclaims, "Those warriors. By what appellation did they refer to themselves? Oh, yes: Jinsuls. They appear to move quite rapidly. And leap. With all those ambulatory limbs and visual sensors, they appear to be unflankable."

Sev casts caustic conversion and flings magical nanites at the closest newcomer (orange?).

Ranged touch (caustic conversion)v. EAC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage (acid): 4d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 3) = 11
If successful, target takes additional 5 acid damage at end of its turn for 3 rounds.

Culture: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Culture: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Ivok pushes forward taking cover behind a wall, watchful for the approaching enemy and he calls out to try to keep the party energized.

"Let's try not to group up! Keep a safe distance and keep on taking them down one at a time! We have beaten bigger things!"

After much debate: double move forward

Culture: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Culture: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Al will speak into their team's comms; "Be careful of their leg-blades. The one closest to Ivok is the leader and looks significantly more dangerous than the other two!"

Eyes scanning the evolving situation, Al decides to remain where they are, mentally tasking Ruby with activating combat tracking on the jinsul leader, then firing their rifle at them!

Hutchket Rifle: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 2 = 16 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"At least the demon is dealt with...I believe there was a saying on old Golarion that I am glad we do not have to encounter: being between a vrock and a hard place."

(also the funny subtitle of a pfs quest I wrote that's sitting on somebody's floor somewhere)

Neon Ten casts his Magic Missile at the one identified as the leader.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 3) + 3 = 11

While I don't have current access to hangouts to double check, I saw Antoine sought to be botted earlier today. You guys are more familiar than I with how each member of the party prefers to fight, so if you'd like to bot each other, that'd help me a bit!
Antoine steps far enough down the stairs to get a clear shot at the interlopers, then fires away at the jinsul leader with his rifle while inspiring the rest of the party to strike! Imp. Get Em +2
Camera(husquet) +imp get em: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 = 20
Damage (P): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
The shot thuds into the leader's chitinous mouth-claws.

Sev's magical nanites connect with the lead jinsul's armored carapace, burning away an outer layer of armor and starting to dissolve the insides. Unfortunately, Al's rifle shot deflects off of one of its many many armored legs. Neon Ten on the other hand trusts in the power of unerring magical bolts of force, pummeling the leader solidly!

Ignoring his wounds, the leader of the jinsul strike team hefts a massive plasma rifle and readies to fire!
Just Sorami if someone would like to bot.

damage: 3d8 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6, 1) + (5) + 2 = 20

Sorami's brief bluff causes the jinsul leader to turn it frontal mandible to the side *just-so*, giving her the opening for a brutal attack with her sonic pistol! Wow, I'm not used to seeing these big damage numbers in SFS! But despite the sonic resonance almost tearing its body apart, the leader stays standing!

The leader (orange) levels its rifle at the most exposed enemy (Al 2O3) and fires a pair of shots. Perhaps its the fact that its who body is still vibrating and dissolving, but both bolts of plasma fly far from their intended target! His two allies rush forwards with their leg-blades at the ready. One scurries toward Ivok (provoking an AoO from you) and its leg blade tears a shallow cut in his side. (dealing 9 slashing damage, minus 5 from Enhanced Resistance?) The other leaps up the stairs to engage Al 2O3 in melee! Its own leg blade meets the android's armor and is deflected harmlessly.
