Outpost Starfinder Society The Commencement (Inactive)

Game Master Hayato Ken

With a telepathic yawp, Blibdoolpoolp floats into the fray!

Pike (Charge): 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 2 = 11
Piercing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

presumably Delta-5, having stated the weapon type that is effective against this creature, has already drawn it before going in

Also, he will pick up a copy of the album for himself as well.

No problem!!

Meanwhile, Argon-42 pointed out to me that the Feather Stalker was LARGE. Which, as you can see on the map, it is.

< Shifty Eyes >

The reason something so big popped out of such a small crate? It’s an aberration, and all feathery and stuff. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

Shooting while leaping along the catwalk, Zeyram hits with his photon weapon and does four damage to the creature! Blibdilpoolp charges the furious feather duster of doom with his pike and misses!

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

It’s the malevolent feather duster’s turn! It takes a guarded step forward and whacks at Blibdilpoolp with its terrifying feather appendage! “SKREEEK!”

Whap!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Blugeoning Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

It hits only because Blib charged this round!

BOLD is up!

Lightfoot draws his dueling sword and approaches the creature cautious, trying to calm it down so he can get close enough to subdue it.

"You are no doubt frightened and confused, so far sway, I am guessing, from your natural habitat." The ysoki says. "Unfortunately, your eating habits require that we remove you to a more suitable environ. And, alas, that requires that we first render you unconscious and incapable of inflicting further harm."

"Your pardon, then."says the servant of the Dawnflower as he swings with the flat of his blade.

Melee attack (dueling sword, tactical v KAC): 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 4 = 15
Damage (NL): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Lightfoot successfully whacks the hot pink Feather Stalker with the side of his blade, doing non-lethal damage to it!

BOLD is up!

Zeyram continues his acrobatic advance towards the creature, taking another shot at it.

Trick Attack, Acro: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33 I certainly hope that is enough! Need 20 + CR
Static Arc Pistol: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Unfortunately, this probably isn't enough...
Electrical Lethal damage, Photon: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Trick Attack: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Reroll Static Arc Pistol, Nova: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19 Much better...

Round 1

"Ah, that's where it is," Argon states matter-of-factly.

She runs up, taking cover beside the barrels.

If I am allowed to move through the "half-squares" that are occupied by the barrels, then I can get to this square without difficulty.

She sights her brand-new Arachnid-9 tactical pistol at the creature, and opens fire.

Tactical Semi Auto vs. KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Tactical Semi Auto Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Zeyram continues his dazzling and tricky cartwheels around the catwalk, shooting the Feather Stalker with deadly accuracy! Then Argon also moves forward and opens fire, hitting the creature!

BOLD is up!

Delta-5 moves for a clear shot and fires a round at the creature.

frostbite, attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 for cold: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Click. Whirr.

BOTTING Knows-No-Bounds and Blibdilpoolp

Knows-No-Bounds uses his inspiring boost to heal four of Blidilpoolp’s stamina!

Blibdilpoolp’s Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Meanwhile, Blib easily shakes off the nastiness of the feathery appendage and attacks again with his pike!

Pike: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Delta-5 hits! Know-No-Bounds heals Blib, and then Blib whacks the creature again! The creature explodes like a down pillow after a game of tug of war! Feathers rain down from the ceiling EVERYWHERE!

Combat Over! What do you do?

Lightfoot sighs. "It would appear that finding a place to relocate the creature is no longer a pressing issue."

The ysoki mournfully lowers his head and quietly begins searching the room for a dustpan and broom.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Lightfoot finds a broom easily!

Zeyram check that the creature is dead, then help search the warehouse.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Once people are ready, he will go out and update Officer Tip. “We have dealt with it, but some cleanup will be required. There are feathers all over!”

5 hours till Bot-Buddy shows up?! That is fast-mode :p

Blibdoolpoolp gratefully accepts medical aid, then floats out to debrief Tip. "And make sure you find out how this importer snuck something so dangerous onto the ship. This could have easily hurt someone else!"

I didn’t think you’d kill it that fast, and wanted to move us into the next round!

When Zeyram checks the body, he finds there’s darned little of it left!

Officer Tip nods. “We’ve had some issues with some gang-related imports that have been quite dangerous lately, but we’re looking to shut it down!” She smiles. “Thank you for keeping our streets safe. As for cleanup, I’m leaving that job to the new occupants. Tell Zigavix that we hope they like their new digs!”

Zeyram chuckles. "Hopefully they will assign that to a different set of recruits!"

Looking to the rest of the group, he then says "I guess we should check on how bad the line was for those albums. Then it is a quick visit to Historia-7 and back to Ziggy!"

You call the page, and a holographic screen opens up where an epic fight is going on between a girl in a black bat costume and some gang toughs. She’s a bit bruised, and her bat cape is torn, but somehow she does not seem to mind. The whole fight is being filmed from above, as with a spy drone.

Somewhat distracting is that to the fight footage is being added big cartoon graphics that the drone reads aloud in an excited voice!

“POW!”

“ZOT!”

In the background, a catchy themesong is playing.

“Hold on, Bat Friends!” The girl calls out as she kicks one thug in the face while the crowd behind her cheers. “I caught!” she speaks breathlessly between punches, “These! Miscreants! Trying to cut the line!”

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

A few minutes later, she’s dragging the ruffians behind her towards store security. “It’s good you called me on the Bat Communicator! I’m almost to the head of the line and don’t know how many albums to buy!”

With a mental sigh, Blibdoolpoolp wires over the credits. Second will be very happy to get a real copy...

Lightfoot sweeps the last of the feathers into a dust bin and lets out a stifled, *achoo!*

"Holy hymns! Bat Elf!" he cries out, suddenly remembering what he had forgotten amidst the monotony of his recently concluded task. Resuming his usually, proper decorum, he explains. "Please pardon my explicative, but I had nearly forgotten about the faithful ward that we had tasked with obtaining the album. Oh, I do hope there is time to let her know."

The ysoki frantically pats his armor, looking for pockets. Eventually, he finds his comm link and sends a request to Bat Elf to pick up a copy for himself, using the funds that he had earlier acquired.

Knows examines the slain feathery creature with a sigh: "At least it is no longer threat." He nods towards Bilb. "Well-struck, it seems tentacles beat feathers."

"Now that the creature is dealt with, we can alert Zigvigix that the warehouse is now clear."

Argon-42 dials up Ziggy on her comm unit.

“If you want one, I believe the total is now nine.” Zeyram tells the elf.

“Historia-7, Ziggy, myself, Delta-5, Lightfoot, Blibdoolpoolp, Argon-42 and our friendly chef Knows-No-Bounds all want a copy.” He counts them off on the fingers of one of his free hands as he calls the names off.

“Thank you for undertaking this mission for us, Bat-Elf!”

Bat Elf drops off all the copies of Star Sugar Heartlove!!! that you requested, literally sliding in from above you on a rope.

"I'm always happy to serve, Bat Friends! Remember to call me on the official Bat Line, and I'll be there, standing between evil and the good people of Absalom Station!"

She pauses a moment to pause for the cameras as her theme song plays, and then waves as she says, "Bat Bye!"

It does not take long for you to return to the desk of Historia-7. "Ah, Starfinders. I did not expect to see you again so soon. What may I do for you?"

"The leader Zigivigix asked us to deliver something to you. It is a copy of the latest album by the group of musicians calling themselves Strawberry Machine Cake."

She presents Historia-7 with the album. "Apparently it has some therapeutic value for those suffering from emotional trauma due to grief. Zigvigix thought you were suffering from such a trauma and were in need of assistance."

"I am not a psychiatrist, but an album that can do that seemed useful, so I bought one for myself in case I ever suffer through such an incident."

Historia-7 looks initially puzzled, but then studies the album with interest. "I'll have to analyze it further to assess its benefits. Thank you."

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

Meanwhile, Ziggy is delighted to see you all again! "They tell me the Warehouse is ours! Wonderful work!" Then his multifaceted eyes turn to you. "Did Historia-7 like the music?"

"She wished further analysis, which sounded to me like the way she likes things."

“Oh! She likes it!” Ziggy’s overjoyed when you provide them with an album of their own. “Oh! Wonderful! Wonderful!” They’re so happy that they insist on you listening to SMC with them. “Great music is best when its shared!”
