[SF] Dead Suns AP - GM Ewok (Inactive)

Game Master EwokBanshee

Alrighty, this time for real! Chronicles!

Thanks Ewok, mine looks good!

Looks great, thanks!

I'm travelling and vacationing for the next week. I shouldn't have any issues with service on my phone so I SHOULD be able to post just fine but there might be a night or too where we get too busy carousing for me to remember. Please bot as needed.

Party hard, Zulu! Don't stress about checking in, enjoy yourself.

Which reminds me, I might as well give early notice about my next absence. The last full week of June I'll be off the web, so no gaming then. But until then I should be all ready to go.

Not gonna lie, I'm really enjoying playing up the xenophobia of the non-Talovet Kish. It's excellent.

Also, the author trapped the door to a dungeon's boss fight and that's so evil. There's nothing like removing all of the SP of a party's tank RIGHT before a big fight.

Yeah, the 18 KAC on a front liner doesn't help... But I also imagine Pippimi as a quick moving ball of metal that wraps up the closest foe so... she's not normally the first target of an enemy.

Yeah, we've got a few people who are AFK so I'll give us another day before I bot up.

Oh, I partied. Might finally have recovered apart from a knee I hurt slipping on stairs on a heaving ferry (totally sober). Doesn't seem to be a torn ACL, but certainly strained.

Makes running off the 5 lbs I gained in booze and seafood last week difficult. At least I can still hit the heavy bag.

I can take a hint. Credits will be focused on AC next downtime :)

No... I like having a front liner I can hit. ;)

Welcome back, Zulu! Glad you had fun.

Thanks! And good news, my chiropractor doesn't think I tore my ACL.

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, wasn't feeling well. But in other news, I love this map. This is my new favorite map. If any of you fall to your deaths, this map will be your memorial.

It is a great map. Sorry about the sparse posting, had my usual battle with spring thaw basement flooding for the past few days.

I do like this map, and am tempted just to let my jetpack fail just to get that sweet sweet memorial. Plus this AP needs some attrition, we are just too awesome for dramatic needs.

Speaking of jetpacks, is there a lift limit to them? Can we ferry people across?

Okay, it was nice when they unveiled the starfinder avatars but a human is a human. Time to revert Lenny to his "cheeseburger in paradise" look. Or, "middle-aged entrepreneur".

Speaking of jetpacks, is there a lift limit to them? Can we ferry people across?

A jetpack can’t lift you if you’re encumbered. So it's all about your own strength. Which is harder than it sounds, since 10 pounds is 1 bulk (I think? I can't find the reference anymore...) and you can only carry up to half your bulk before you hit Encumbered.

So for example Davrin, a halfling, is 3 bulk himself and then you have to add everything he's carrying.

10L is 1 bulk... which is an abstraction. 1L is close enough to 1 pound, though.

Hope everyone is doing ok with the craziness at the moment. In lighter news... now that I'm going to be working from home for probably two months, I'm going to try and get a posting routine back again. Helping get an office already in the middle of crunch set up to work from home was... interesting though.

Sounds crazy, which is par for the times.

We are fine here, might need to do the same for my wife in a bit (she works in healthcare, but not Frontline). Allowing her time to work in her office all day without our two little kids distracting her will be a task.

But if that's the difficulty, then I'm lucky and blessed.

Stay safe out there everyone

Yikes, Zulu! Flooding is no good. Hope everything comes back together quickly.

It's been an ongoing thing. The previous owners screwed us on a fix that was useless but technically correct by the contract when we moved in years ago, cost us $9K to sort out. This other wall has needed the fix ever since, but we've put it off until we had to fix it.

Even so it's just an issue with spring thaw, we had over a foot of snow across our whole yard melt in a week of rain, so water was ... plentiful.

We'll get our third sump pit installed and hopefully finally have it all done right.

Them's the breaks when you choose to live on what should be a swamp, nice neighborhood and lake are worth it.

Would the line effect of my plasma rifle be advantageous over swarms like spray weapons?

Yep line weapons and automatic weapons are effective. It's just single target ones that do zero damage.

I don't recall us looting any explode weapons anywhere, but those would be even better (1.5x dmg). I think the only blast weapons we found were a while ago.

I think I've got a handful of grenades still, rooms pretty small for the blast though.

Good thing my wasted laser shot was on a nat 1.

I'll distribute plasma to mold next round then.

Yepp! And Slide 5 has a few looted grenades people can use. They're fairly low level but everything helps.

Woohoo, level 8!! This isn't the biggest level, but fun to get to. I'm assuming it may take a few days for most of us to level up. Once five people post here, or it's Monday, (whichever comes sooner) I'll start us back up!

When you post to say that you've finished leveling up, please give us a little snippet about what changed so we can be excited for each other!

Would Vulgar Kishaleen be a choice for my Culture added language at this point?

Same as others, a couple of days and we'll see what Lenny's middle-aged beard provides.

Alright, Davrin has levelled up. Nothing terribly exciting. He can now attack 3 times a turn when he makes a full attack, but not likely to do that much since trick attack would do more damage. He also has field medicine so can recover some hp.

I'll catch up today

Yes, Vulgar Kishaleen is absolutely available! All those street signs you've read had better work out for something. We can add that to the list of languages mysteriously learned halfway through a book. Elven...Eoxian...Vulgar Kishaleen.

Leveled up. Picked up Vulgar Kishaleen and put a point in engineering to aid lol. Can re-roll a diplomacy check after knowing the result instead of using my expertise die so that is nice.

I lied, life happened today.

I'll level up tomorrow officially, but the only exciting thing on the docket adding another die to my overcharge attack, so +2d6.

No Davrin trick attack but it'll help.

OK Pippimi's ready for 8th level. Nothing too exciting here.

More BAB, saves, HP/SP etc. The only new class feature is an extra combat feat. That's going to Adaptive Fighting - Pippimi will be able to pick up Improved Disarm, Improved Bull Rush or Close Combat for 1 minute by spending a move action.

Ninth level is a juicier one.

Leveled up!

Defy gravity stellar revelation (fly)

Finally took a rank in life science.

Defy gravity stellar revelation (fly)

Everyone else, slight stat increases. Lenny? FLYING. Probably good since you have zero resolve left...

Stellar revelations FTW. Now that you remind me, I overwrote my status line for the level up and forgot to drop my used resources. No resolve, and I think 7hp down.

Ok, updated. Sorry for the delay, kinda had a virtual get together with the college buddies last night and overdid the celebrations.

Awesome, I'll get us back started! And no worries, this is a crazy time!

Crap, forgot skills. Those will have to wait for tonight, but it won't be anything new or fun, just lots of +1s

Soooooooo. With this shiny new Dragonkin boon I know the idea I want for my character but I have to choose a person to bond with permanently until they die. Anyone going to be making a new Starfinder Society character that wants to always team up with him.

Biohacker that joined the Wayfinders to find more...subj-p-patients. He uses his already impressive reach with a capture pole to make it absurd as he injects and collars enemies.

Wow, I was *just* planning on making a Dragonkin myself and was thinking about this question. Mine is currently planned to be a Vanguard. Unfortunately the bond has to be with a non-dragonkin.

That's so cool! If I wasn't slowing down my Society RP, I would totally take part.

I've got room for another Starfinder character. I've only got two SFS characters, and this one for the AP. Lot of classes and races yet to try. If you're game (haven't found someone else) shoot me some more details and we'll work out a good complementary character.

Alright awesome I will send you one shortly! (And Pip I always have room for a non-dragonkin to bond to yours as well with the new classes I haven't gotten to play).

Fun stuff! With the two kids and a new puppy I can barely keep up with the 3 campaigns I'm on right now. I've fully dropped ally PFS and SFS characters.

Though I have wanted to play Pathfinder 2 one of these days, the two test adventures I did were pretty fun.

Alright awesome I will send you one shortly! (And Pip I always have room for a non-dragonkin to bond to yours as well with the new classes I haven't gotten to play).

Got your message! I'll look it over in better detail this evening after work and compose one or more ideas.

Incoming!

1. Yupp, Zulu, it certainly does seem like this AP has a lot of disease and poison! (Confession, I added the poison to the first fight on this planet, because those archaic bows didn't look like they'd be much threat at all. I've since changed that to extra damage, which seems more fair.) Starfinder does seem to have more disease and poison than Pathfinder, but this AP definitely has more than usual.

2. I'm sorry, Zoran, your Envoy heart must be bleeding right now. I couldn't let you get a word out, it would have ruined my beautiful cinematic moment! I definitely am prone to the the typical GM "2 minutes of evil villain monologue happens during the 6 second surprise round" problem. If it makes you feel better... kill the demon first and you can convince the kish to surrender. :)

3. Also, it's been 6 weeks since Clank has posted. It's a hard time for everyone, but that's a bit extravagant. I'll be reaching out to him and seeing if he wishes to continue in this group. I'll keep you all updated; if I don't hear from him in the next two weeks we'll be a 5 person group from now on. Just wanted to keep you all up to date!

We rested over night so my SP should be restored and do I also get some HP back too?

Yes! Dang it, I forgot to reset you guys. Yepp, everyone is at full.

No, it is totally fine. If plans worked all the time they wouldn't be exciting plus I didn't think they would just listen right away even if they didn't want to summon some demonic entity to crush us.

The surprise is definitely one I had no idea was coming...I read it as my jaw was slowly dropping. These Kish are crazy!
