Redelia's SFS Dreaming of the Future (Inactive)

Game Master Redelia

This is a completely unbelievable abstraction, but because Kalkan made his fort save, your team succeeds.

Having been successful on all the challenges in the tunnels, you find yourself spit out of the tunnels into a huge chamber. In the distance you see a structure covered in glowing purple runes, which you know is the mausoleum you are looking for.

I need each of you to attempt an athletics check to swim across the liquid methane to get to the mausoleum. You each get a +4 to the check for your successes so far.

"Sun's Light, finally! We're on the home stretch everyone."

Garven keeps on swimmin'.

Athletics: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 4 = 11

Athletics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

K'Klacklun feels like he gliding through the methane.

Balloon boy squiggles his tentacles like a jellyfish.

Athletics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...."

Acrobatics : 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 4 = 16

I... held the team together? And we stuck out the currents together? Ya... that's a hard one to visualize.

Kalkan looks across the great expanse of liquid methane and shudders. This is not going to be easy.

Athletics: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Turns out, it wasn't.

Compucast strikes out strongly, his arms and skill showing, even if he has little natural talent for swimming.

athletics: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 4 = 19

He manages to catch a current the swings him close to the mystic structure...

You all make it through the methane to the structure. Kalkan, Deloran, Baloonboy, and Garven are all fatigued.

This room shows obvious signs of erosion. Strange semifluorescent plant life has started to grow along patches of the floor and on the walls. A large hole in the sandstone lies to the west, and shimmering inside the hole appears to be a force field made of purple runes. To the south, a set of rough sandstone steps lead to another force field, this one holding
back the liquid methane.

You may roll either a culture or physical science check to know more about what you are seeing. I also need a perception check from each of you.

Kalkan sighs, extremely tired from the journey. "I never was a good swimmer..."

Culture: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

He takes in all the details, enraptured by the strange surroundings.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Balloonboy slides out his weapon as if expecting something bad. His mental voice sounds weary.

This one does not think that this one's species was well adapted to swimming through that. This one is most tired.

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Compucast takes out his portable scanner and starts to examine the forcefield.

physical science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"Obviously this is very high tech.."

Physical Science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"I agrees." chimes K'Klacklun.

Do we want to rest before proceeding?

With the help of the team, Garven notices that there are some magic runes ahead that appear to be a trap. mysticism to disable

"Good spotting.… I wonder if I can disable this..."

probably do an aid another, but will lead if nobody else is trained

mysticism: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Compucast easily disables the trap.

Please place yourselves in the yellow box. That will be where you end up as you move forward to trigger the next event, and placement may matter.

"Most well done!" K'Klackun says as he approaches Compucast.

Token placed

The drone, now released, buzzes along behind the shirren.

Token on map

Deloran move into place.

"Good work guys."

Token updatd here too
The Vesk gives a nod to K'Klacklun. "I try to show that Vesk are smart as well as strong. Preconceptions are hard to overcome."

Balloonboy floats along, hovering as high as he can near the ceiling.

This one is most impressed with host compucast's skill. This one finds Host Compucast to be a exemplar in his field.

This chamber has not escaped the ravages of time. There are holes in the walls that likely once held doors, and the sandstone tiles on the floor
are dirty and broken in places. Softly glowing purple runes cover the interior walls of the chamber, encircling a round altar covered in more runes in the center of the space. Out of shadow in front of the altar, a form slowly coalesces, taking the shape of an ebony dragon with red frills. Its body is terribly contorted and trails shadows. With a voice like rocks scraping together, it speaks. "Who dares to break the sanctity of this holy resting place?"

You may roll sense motive and/or mysticism as you interact with this creature.

"Whose holy resting place do we enter? We do not wish to defile, only to explore and bring light to dark places." Garven speaks without hiding his own affiliation to the light, but not yet judging this creature as shadows are born of light as much as they are of darkness.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

W-we w-were t-told that th-this is a pl-place for dreamers." K'Klacklun manages to add, though the sight of a dragon has set his carapace aquiver.

"To boldly go where no one has gone before."
Whispers Deloran

Deloran tries to stand as tall as he can
"Ah, hi I am Deloran, a pilot. We are very sorry to wake you. But who are you? and please don't eat us."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

mysticism: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

"I am Compucast, a proud member of the Vesk and Starfinder. Who do we address?"

Balloonboy let's the others speak... this is not his time or place.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Kalkan stays silent, afraid of upsetting the guardian.

"I am the guardian of this place. I wait for the keys to return to the center."

"What keys do you speak of? What is about this place that would need such a mighty guardian?

Deloran picks up a small rock

"Your scales are like armor plate that this rock would just bounce off and you would not feel a thing."

Deloran toss the rock at the dragon.....Then gets eaten if he is wrong

Brave... very brave...

Kalkan pulls out a tablet. "Keys? Is this a key?" Then he pauses, staring at Deloran in shock.

The creature's demeanor immediately hardens.
"Impudent pipsqueak! Let me show you what true nightmares are..."

Garven

Kalkan screams out loud as the dragon turns ugly, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Perhaps more out of instinct than actual choice, he raises his longarm and fires! Thankfully, his exocortex did most of the heavy lifting!

Cortex @ Scary Dragon Man: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
dmg @ EAC: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Yup here comes the eating part, hate it when I am wrong. He's real and now real mad. Sorry guys, not how I wanted this to go.

Deloran moves away from the group.

I am very sorry, I just wanted show everyone how strong and powerful you are great guardian.

DIPLOMACY: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Deloran goes to Total Defense

Deloran, you can't use total defense and diplomacy on the same turn, since they both would take up your standard action. I'll assume you would keep the total defense.

The creature moves forward, and all of you feel a strange terror creep over you. Will save, DC 12, or you are shaken.

The dragon opens his mouth, and a cone of acid splatters out over most of you. BalloonBoy, I think you're probably up to high for him to hit you if he wants to get the others, so you're not included. Deloran, you're not in that direction.

damage: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 1) = 12 reflex save DC 12 for half.

The entire party is up. Please roll will save, reflex save (if needed), and then your actions.

Darn, I was hoping that it would just be mad at me.

Using the the cave to sneak in
Survival trick attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
DC equal to 20 + target’s CR, not this time

Pulsecaster pistol attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Watch out I'm a killer with that damage

"Stop hurting my friends"

Will save (DC 12): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Reflex save (DC 12): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

"Oh, by the Forever Queen! This is horrible!" K'Klacklun screams as he faces the ferocious creature and dodges part of its acidic breath.

The shirren immediately activates his personal force field. (Standard action)

He then races for cover. (Move action)

Am I correct that as a construct, B.U.G. is immune to the fear effect?

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

The bug is nearly deactivated by the acid breath.

It chirps, then stings with its weapon.
Ranged v dragon EAC(pulsecaster pistol): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage (E)(NL): 1d4 ⇒ 4

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 11

The vesk warrior-mage roars his rejection of the creatures fear, and then again as its acid eats into his delicte form.

He moves to get away from the main group, calling on his powers of technomagicry to send a bolt of force at the horrible creature.

MM,harmful spells.: 2d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 + 1 = 7

Balloonboy turns his weapon towards the dragon.

Sniper Shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11

But is apparently startled enough that he fumbles the shot.

Klack, you are correct. He's immune.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Kalkan stands strong in the face of this nightmarish enemy, but that puts him right in the spray of acid! Wiping the acid from his weaker armor points, he chuckles. "Yes, Deloran, I think he might be real."

The shirren heads right, towards the corner of the room. "Split up! That acid doesn't feel great." He raises his weapon to fire, but the acid is all over his face mask!

Cortex@: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
dmg@EAC: 1d8 ⇒ 4

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
reflex, fatigued: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Garven is not phased by the dragon's fear aura, but his face doesn't hold up as well against the acid breath. (6 stamina, 6 hp damage)

He's fatigued from the swim, but he attacks with his pike.

kinetic attack: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 1 = 14
damage: 1d8 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 1 = 7

Then he runs for cover, ending up under the B.U.G.

Shoot, I was fatigued as well. I guess I just fail my reflex and attack rolls even more.

length of shaken for those who failed: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Deloran, BUG, and Compucast all injure the creature. (-12 HP)
BaloonBoy and Kalkan are unable to damage the strange dragon. Garven is not quite able to injure it.

The dragon growls as he is hurt. He then bites at Deloran.

attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Will save, please, Deloran, or the creature's bit moves you from shaken to frightened.

Deloran is the only one to fail the will save against the dragon's frightful presence and is shaken for 4 rounds. This may change to frightened, depending on the pending will save. The rest of you are now immune to the dragon's frightful presence.

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

"I willl not FFFear you!"

Deloran takes a shot at the dragon from the shadows

Pulsecaster pistol attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 2 = 20

"By Hylax, how did it come to this?" K'Klacklun draws his pistol. (Move action)

Then, using his rig, he guides the B.U.G. (Move action)

The drone whistles as it hovers closer to the dragon and attempts to "sting" it again.

Ranged v dragon EAC(pulsecaster pistol): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage (E)(NL): 1d4 ⇒ 2

Compucast calls out in a loud voice.

"Yisrak MEchanic Quantum Phyisx" and three more darts of light dash from his hands and into the dragon.

magic missile, hrmaful spells: 3d5 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4, 4) + 3 + 1 = 14

Cortex@: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 2 = 12
dmg@EAC: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Hands shaking slightly, Kalkan takes another shot at the dragon!

Garven peeks around the corner to target the creature with a mind thrust.

Damage (DC 14 for half): 2d10 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

wow Garven just sucks at everything haha
