balance shields: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Keskodai attempts to balance the shields on the portside.

GM 8574 - SFS |

Unfortunately, Keskodai punches in the wrong combination of controls, and isn't able to get the shields balanced appropriately.
Altronus is able to lock on with the Turret, peppering the pirate ship's shields and the front of their hull!
The pirates return fire, but their attack goes wide and slams into the asteroid behind you!

Keskodai tries to work the shields not wanting to be unprepared for the possibility of the pirate's next attack.
Computer=Balance: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
But the imminent danger of the enemy ship bearing down on them completely throws him off.

Rez maneuvers the ship to fly alongside the pirate ship in a broadside attack.

Please pilot Rez, keep me on the offensive

although that might be a little to close to reach the firing arc, idk

GM 8574 - SFS |

Captain Assist: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 - Success!
1d100 ⇒ 76
Rez deftly pilots the Odyssey through the black, bringing her alongside the pirates and avoiding their forward firing arc - and their turreted coilgun's fire - with ease! Though Keskodai isn't able to balance the shields, Obozaya barks a helpful word to Altronus, who lands a solid hit on the Lawblight with your turreted coilgun. The hit blows through the port shields of your enemies, and further damages their hull - critically affecting one of their systems!

The Lawblight comes about, hoping that your ship will have to come in front of its forward firing arc!

Keskodai quickly attempts to scan the system trying to determine what systems are failing on the enemy ship.
Scan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
For the scan action, the DC of the Computers check equals 5 + 1-1/2 times the tier of the starship being scanned + its bonus from defensive countermeasures.
They dropped the Science Officer checks a lot but of course I still failed lolol.

Rez pulls the throttle down to reverse speed, then disengages the helm navcomputer's Coriolis assist - without the ship's computers handling the constant orientation needed, Rez uses the inertia of the ship's travelling forward to keep himself within range, but then sets the yoke hard to port.
The Odyssey turns to face the Lawblight on its side, then Rez reactivates the navcomputer's auto-orientation.
The Lawblight lays in perfect line-of-sight of Altronus' guns. "You've got a clear shot!

Everyone seems to be a fair bit battered and battle weary at this point, and nothing goes according to plan but the maneuvers of the pilots for each ship. Weapon attacks go wide, spraying coilgun ammunition into the surrounding asteroid field and kicking up new little clouds of debris with each impact.

The Lawblight attempts to evasively maneuver to avoid your fire while getting a better firing solution, and manages to pull off some complicated maneuvers when they reposition!
Rez, your turn to move, and everyone is up!

Altronus will fire cannon and turret. Bring it in buddy, I'm feeling good. Rez, you're up, I was waiting on you
hit: 2 + 2 - 4 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + 2 - 4 + (17) = 17 cannon

Rez banks hard to starboard to avoid the front firing arc of the enemy ship.
Apologies for the delay!

GM 8574 - SFS |

Altronus, I'm going to adjust your action in name only - that you fired both turret weapons instead of one turret and one firing arc.
Rolls and damage are the same.
The Lawblight can't get a lock on you from their turret, and you're out of their firing arcs. However, Altronus is perfectly on point with his turret firing, and both a missile and the coilgun slam home through the depleted shields of the pirate vessel, disabling your enemy!
It sits there, listing in space, a scourge of the Vast. Venture Captain Arvin left no instructions on dealing with this threat. What do you do? Do you board the ship? Do you destroy them? Or do you just go home, and leave them to the hand of fate? The rest is up to you!
Congratulations! You've completed "Into the Unknown!" The quest assumes that you leave them there, but if you are interested in continuing the adventure, I am willing to help create some content from scratch, if needed. Otherwise, I'm going to take a break from Starfinder Society until after the new year, at least. Let me know what you think! I'll get chronicle sheets together for all of you tomorrow, and we'll talk about what happens next in your story.

I'll take all credit towards Rez; I don't own the Alien Archive, so no worries there. I think I'm in the same boat as you, I now work 7 days a week for the holiday season, so keeping with games until the new year is harder than I've previously thought. But thanks so much for the well run game!

Hey, all - sorry again for the delay on these forms. I meant to grab your SFS info for reporting purposes. Send your organized play number to me, like Keskodai and Altronus, and let me know if you want to make a day job roll for additional credits.
Altronus, I will be happy to include that Alien Archive info with your chronicle sheet, and for anyone else who requests it.
Thanks!

When you click on the link, it does not work, not matter what you do, whether it is emailed or otherwise. When you copy and paste it works.

You forgot to sign-off on alien archive when you handed back the boon of mine

GM 8574 - SFS |

Ah, where's the link to the new one? still seeing the old one
This is it! Or at least, that should be it, right? Let me know if not - we'll get it.

Working now, actually I editted the last post once I found out it was working, but the edit didn't work right.
