Spider-Pig shoots at the same target as Skeek.

Neb moves to the left and tries to do some tricky attack on the beast but he ends up creating a nice hole somewhere to the right of the creature in the sand.
Skeek raises his rifle and shoots at the creature...and a needle lands in the hole Neb just made.
Spider-Pig shoots as well but its laser is deflected by the creatures carapace
Seeing Flashbang wave a long stick around it carefully approaches
and attacks Flashbang it's long neck having no trouble the distance between it and it's target

Biting down into Flashbangs shoulder which not only draws blood but also sends a shock through Flashgbangs bones, causing them to vibrate.

"Perhaps I am going about this the wrong way. Perhaps I am the distraction that allows my combat companions to maneuver into a better position. Perhaps I should bring the Captain's chair from the starship and resolve myself to encouraging my companions and taunting our enemies...I'm sure the trouble of lugging that thing through the desert would be worth it given the current circumstances."
Neb trick attacks and fires again
The drone backs away from the creature carefully, and then scoots along, following Skeek.

Flashbang knows that the next few seconds are going to have to count. He remains steadfast and full attacks the beast his pike rhythmically bouncing of the creatures carapace.
Tamon takes careful aim and fires again.
Then takes a moment to examine his sights, and finds them badly out of alignment after the poison storm to figure out why he missed.
Neb tries to trick the creature into looking left while he fires right and ends up just barely hitting it
Keskodai continues to fire at the creature, repeatedly...and missing
Mincey finishes her race to the gun as she hears Flashbang's cries of pain and reaching the gun, she turns it on the creature and fires.
A rather large bullet flies out of the big gun...just over the top of the creatures back
Skeek pulls back away from the creature and directs Spider-Pig to do the same. The drone backs away from the creature carefully, and then scoots along, following Skeek.
The Skreebara senseing only one target within reach continues to chew through Flashbang
and
chewing it's way through Flashbangs shoulder, almost causing his arm to fall off.

Spider-Pig turns and fires on the Skreebara.
and wide again.

As the blast of super heated air blasts over him the Skreebara tries to avoid most of it
and it manages to angle its body in such a way that it doesn't get hit full force
Skeek shouts to spider-pig to fire as well as he fires at the creature..but both end up missing their intended target
Rifle sights adjusted back into line, Tamon tries to make up for lost time with a double shot. His first shot being a ...practice shot? But his second hit the creature right in the torax.
Neb tries to take advantage of a near by sand dune to confuse the creature into not knowing where the next attack is going to come from..but get's confused himself and shoots left when he should have fired to the right and ends up missing.
Keshkodai rushes forward to help flashbang, drawing the Skreebara's attention.
Though she is unaccustomed to using such a weapon, Mincey enjoys the potential for devastation that the X-gen provides, so she again attempts to fire it at the monster. And even though shes getting a bit more used to the weapon she still ends up missing the rather large desert dweller with her shot
The skreebara screams as the hits you deliver him drive him crazy and he raises his head left and right...scanning his surrounding before rushing of the the middle of your group and unleashing a line of sonic energy
(reflex save DC 12 for half)
After the 30ft line of sonic energy dissipates the skreebara's mandibles no longer hum with energy.

*beep!*
Spider-Pig takes another shot at the creature.
Neb will move twenty feet back and trick attack no trick but to hit should hit for
|
|
"Okay! I tink I got dis now!" Mincey says as she unleashes another round from the X-gen gun.
As she watches the shot sail far over the shell of the creature and vanish in the distance, she mutters, "Datz not cheddah." Acknowledging that her efforts at using the massive weapon provided no benefit, she shrugs, gets down on all fours, and starts racing towards the creature.
|
|
For a moment Flashbang seems to move lightning quick, dodging about and bending his body nearly in half to dodge most of the sonic blast (if that is visible). He smiles at the end...then his eyes roll back and he falls to the ground with a thud.
***
Seconds later, the light comes back to his eyes.
"Where am I? The last thing I remember was a dream about a big nasty beasty that was really really loud." His eyes get used to the sun once again and he scans the area from the ground. "Holy crap!!! It wasn't ... or isn't a dream!"
Flashbang grabs his weapon and stands back up before the beasty.
|
|
As Flashbang elegantly dodges most of the incoming sonic energy Keshkodai is hit squarely in the torso taking the brunt of the attack. But the damage is enough to drop Flashbang to the desert floor where he stays laying, very, very stil.
Tamon continues his barrage by firing another full salvo, his ammo going down to dangerously low levels. But it pays off as one of the attacks almost takes one of the Skreebara's antenna's clean off.
Skeek and spider-pig keep firing as well. With Skeek lineing up a shot for Spider-pig to take advantage off. Unfortunatly the creature's carapace is a bit more reflective then it is impact resistant
Keshkodai heals himself and Flashbang.
Neb doesn't manage to trick the Skreebara by moving around but manages to hit it regardless
Mincey unleashes another round from the X-gen gun but another bullet reaches for the skies instead of impacting the Skreebara. As she watches the shot sail far over the shell of the creature and vanish in the distance, she mutters, "Datz not cheddah." Acknowledging that her efforts at using the massive weapon provided no benefit, she shrugs, gets down on all fours, and starts racing towards the creature.
The Skreebara having a new target tries to bite Keshkodai
and takes out a good chunk of flesh from the Shirren

Spider-Pig continues to fire at the same target as Skeek.

Keshkodai takes a careful step back before healing himself.
Flashbang bravely goes into the breach once more to take his revenge on the creature that put him down by smashing his pike into the creatures head.
Neb does a decent job of jumping up from behind a sand dune and putting a smal hole into the Skreebara's side
Then as Tamon's missles bring down the creature Mincey makes sure it stays down by shooting it and as it starts to topple over Skeek and Spider-pig blast some rather large holes into it.
The tough, overlapping crystals that make up the skreebara’s carapace look valuable.
The tactical X-gen gun affixed to the section of shattered hull can be removed with about 10 minutes of work. Although the weapon is too damaged to be functional (apart from firing its remaining shots), it can be sold as scrap for 212 credits

Once you reach the wreckage of the Unbounded Wayfarer, you can plainly see that the vessel is far beyond repair. Although one of the Starfinders survived long enough to activate the distress beacon, there are no survivors—seven desiccated corpses remain in the wreckage, while the remaining crew members were - presumably - pulled out by the skreebara and devoured.
Nothing else of value remains in the wreck;
anything obviously worth salvaging was taken by the Corpse Fleet explorer that plundered it earlier. Although the Unbounded Wayfarer’s computers are beyond repair, they might retain sufficient power to start up once more for a short time. The computer interface ports contain an indentation the same shape as a Starfinder insignia.
|
If we carefully separate the plates...here...we can harvest the valuable parts.
See here? The hull was actually penetrated by heavy slugs, like a coilgun or railgun. And most of the damage is to the rear and sides, indicating that they attempted to evade but were unsuccessful.
Tamon tries fitting his own Starfinder insignia into the computer interface, just in case.
|
|
When Tamon insert his insignia into the indentation, the computer flares to life just enough to display a datafile of worlds previously explored by crew of the Unbounded Wayfarer. They include:
• A wasteland planet called Elytrio that displayed signs of scattered technology.
• A sentient asteroid called Lamentia teeming with morlock “children” in the Vast.
• A massive space station called End of Bright Things stuck between the orbits of two blue dwarf stars.
• A stormy, oceanic world called Wealdriad, with upthrust columns of basalt piercing the storm-tossed ocean’s surface.
The final location’s coordinates are too damaged to display, but you can easily download this data into any personal data device, or send a wireless transmission of the files to the Odyssey for storage.
The computer has enough power to open a slot containing a salvaged item from the lost location. The stored item appears from a hidden
compartment on the side of the ship. It contains the Starfinder’s one takeaway from the mystery system at the end of the expedition list. The stored item is an iridescent spindle aeon stone, though there aren’t any further details regarding the item’s history.
Once you have recovered the data from the Unbounded Wayfarer, you can safely retrace your steps to the Odyssey and leave Ulmarid’s surface.
(Up to you if you want to recover the bodies of the Starfinders;
the Starfinders’ families on Absalom Station appreciate the gesture.)
|
|
After you lift of and are leaving the surface of the planet;
A warning klaxon blares, and the ship lurches. The asteroid field around the world of Ulmarid is more agitated than on the descent down to the surface. Although it’s not clear what has caused the anomalous activity, what’s certain is that you must reach safer altitude before a more serious collision occurs.

Flashbang gathers up the "big gun" left behind and drags it to the shuttle and encourages the others to collect the Starfinder agents' remains for the family.
