[SFS][PBP GAMEDAY VI] 1-00 CLAIM TO SALVATION (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

Quig takes a moment to give Scout some orders while he walks forward.

scout shot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Altronus rolls into the room from the elevator, solar armblade flickering into existence with a hum. He takes in the room and then gives an uncharacteristic gasp. "Oh, this is terrible. I had hoped to bring our ysoki friend at the prison some good news, but this..."

He raises his voice to call out to the creature(s) to the south "Bago! Livewire sends her good wishes. Seeing as you are part of some kind of horrible Borgor-controlled abomination, we may be forced to fight the both of you. I hope you have a way for us to avoid that."

Altronus holds his weapons defensively in case the dual-headed monstrosity is unwilling to be reasonable. Total defense

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Scouts shot hits, making a small wound.

"Livewire...Livewire...Livewire?...Livewire!...LIVEWIRE!" the right arm punches the left head in the face "YOU LIED BORGOR!"

Borgor shouts back "Shut it Bago!"

Round continues

Then Navasi

BB: 5

Poke Kesk and Obo :p

Altronus seems to be in my line of fire, so I'm going to move.

Obozaya runs along the top of the crates until she is overlooking the strange creature, and aims her rifle again. She shoots...

rifle: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 Guessing that's a miss.

... but the shot glances off the creature's armor.

"How'd you manage to fit into that elevator, anyway?"

The shot misses, ricocheting off the floor and into a crate.

Keskodai delays

Borgorbago continues fighting among themselves, but a large pistol is aimed at Scout.

Attack 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Damage 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 4) + 6 = 16

Scout is tagged by the large bullet!

BB: 5

Obozaya drops her rifle. "Ah, that piece of junk is no good. Now this-" she says as she moves closer and draws her doshko, "This one is my favourite."

She moves to the crate overlooking Borgor/Bago and swings (trying to aim for Borgor).

I don't see anywhere that high ground gives you a bonus, but if it does please add it to my roll. Also I don't think there are rules for called shots but if it is possible to specifically hit the creature on the Borgor side I will do so.

flame doshko (vs. EAC): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
flame doshko damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Given the distraction of the creature warring with itself, Obo manages to tag the beast - just hitting....!

BB 18

Photon-attuned round 2
Oops Obozaya! I thought I'd moved myself to a spot that wouldn't block your line of sight to the target.

Altronus releases a resigned sigh. "I see then. We must attempt surgery." He hops between crates and approaches the two headed monstrosity. As he comes close he drops down to ground level with a flip, simultaneously lashing out with his solar armblade.

Athletics to jump between boxes (5ft gap): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Acrobatics to drop from the boxes to ground level without taking damage: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Solar Weapon attack vs. Borgorbago: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Solar Weapon damage: 1d6 + 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (4) + (2) + 6 = 12

Was waiting for Keskodai and Obo to go at the end of round 1, then for the BB to go before posting. So this is her action for the end of Round 1.

Navasi moves out onto the landing while drawing her pistol. Seeing the two-headed monstrosity gives new light to the messages and voice logs.

"Hey folks, there's two others from Livewire's crew down here somewhere, also."

She then points out a couple flaws in Mr. BnB's armor to the team.

Using Get 'Em Envoy ability. All allies get a +1 morale bonus to attack rolls until the end of Navasi's next turn.

Yep, your up to your turn - sorry about the wait :p

Navasi inspires her companions!

Altronus takes the inspiration to heart and carries out some impressive athletics - but is attacked as he crosses the floor and into range.
Attack 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 16 - 2 = 32
Damage 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (4, 6) + 11 = 21
Altronus takes a brutal blow.

Altronus then strikes the beast.

Navasi - Get em.

BB 30

Sorry folks, not been a good past few days....

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Keskodai rushes into the room and attempts to fire off a quick shot from his sonic pistol, but succeeds only in making Navasi's ears ring...

Sorry to hear it Faelyn.

@Shifty: I didn't think the enemy had a melee weapon (was described as carrying meat in one hand, and then as wielding a gun. Can you describe what kind of weapon that was that Altronus ate a smack from? Also, would you be OK if I tried a tumble/acrobatics into melee as a retcon?

The enemy has a great big fist with a lot of rings (that seem to be related to his wristband (see his portrait), and has a weapon (pistol as mentioned) in the other hand

I'll allow the retcon - make an Acrobatics check to try avoid the Reaction

Alright, thanks!
Acrobatics to tumble: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Altronus stays close to the crates as he drops down, kicking off at the last moment. He converts the momentum into a quick roll, ducking underneath the creature's massive hands, and then swings in with his armblade for an uppercut!

Quig and Kesk up...

Hey Shifty, I posted Keskodai's actions a little earlier up. If you need more actions, then I'll gladly post! :)

"Scout, do your thing," Quig says as he taps a few orders into his custom rig.

Scout moves forward and takes a shot.

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"Anyone got a good suggestion on boots? I've been meaning to buy new boots, and I want good ones that will last a while," Quig says continuing fiddling with his custom rig. "Oh, right the thing. Anyone know what's going on with this thing?"

I imagine its a life sciences check but I don't know.

Yeah Life Science

Scout and Kesk have no luck landing shots.

The thing swings for Altronus, vexed at missing the slippery combatant!

Attack 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 16 - 2 = 21
Damage 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (3, 2) + 11 = 16
Fate catches up with Altronus , and the hit lands...!

You all realise the creature is busy fighting itself, otherwise it would be even more lethal!

BB 30

"You know, Quig, I've been very happy with these All-Tek boots, but I don't know if they make them in your size. Worth checking out, though."

"Hey, Altronus, you're doing better than you think. You've got this thing on the ropes!" Navasi continues, switching gears from talking fashion to giving Altronus an inspiring boost.

Using Inspiring Boost as a standard action to give Altronus 11 Stamina back.

"Oh, and Borgor looks like he's favoring his left leg a little."

Continuing Get 'Em as a move action. All allies gain +1 to attack until the end of her turn. Hey, look at me, I'm a bard - but not as good and without spells!

Obozaya leaps from her perch atop the crates and spins through the air, bouncing off the far wall and landing on the far side of the creature.

Athletics to jump: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
It's a standing start but also low gravity, so I can jump across a gap 21 feet, more than enough to jump over Borgor/Bago. Though I will pass through his reach.

Can I use the "tumble" acrobatics action while jumping through the air with athletics? If not I will just eat the AoO.

If Yes: Acrobatics to tumble: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Obozaya swings madly with her Doshko, looking for an opening.

Failing to come up with a clever quip, "AAAAHHHRRRRR!" she roars madly.

Flame Doshko Flank: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 22
Flame Doshko Damage (F): 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Since I am falling 10 feet as well, do I take falling damage? Or do I need to fall 30 feet when in low gravity?

Obo does a flying reptile move, but cuts too close to BB.

Attack 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 16 - 2 = 33
Damage 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (5, 1) + 11 = 17

Obo is soundly whacked, but lands a blow in return...but then hits the floor in a heap Prone

Damage 1d3 ⇒ 1

Falling and gravity

...

BB 30

1. Do I still threaten while prone? Can Altronus still flank?

2. Did I do any damage? If so "BB" should now be 43, yes?

Edit: updated Stamina. I have 14 stamina left.

1 - Yes you do, yes altronus is.
2 - Yes you did, sorry slack typo :p

BB 43

Gross. This guy does insane damage. Also, somehow I didn't realize it until now, but Altronus' AC is garbage :<

Photon-attuned Round 3

Altronus gives out a yell as he swings in rapidly with his solar armblade. "OBOZAYA, I WILL NOT FORGET YOUR SACRIFICE!"

Solar Weapon, flanking: 1d20 + 7 - 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 4 + 2 + 1 = 8
Solar Wep Damage: 1d6 + 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (2) + (3) + 6 = 11
Solar Weapon, flanking: 1d20 + 7 - 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 4 + 2 + 1 = 20
Solar Wep Damage: 1d6 + 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (4) + (3) + 6 = 13

He peeks beyond the bulky creature as he attacks, spotting Obozaya, and following up with "Oh, you are still in one piece. Well, let us finish this together then!"

Altronus fights from the ground, but manages to shank the beast with the second effort!

BB 56

And this is with the creature massively nerfed because you remembered the 'secret to shout out', you should see him NOT staggered and entangled with lower morale...

"Ah, shut up, I'm fine. Just gimme a minute."

Yeah, most of Altronus' money went to that weapon crystal. And instead of one or two good scores he has 12s in most of them. Pregens are not usually very well optimized but Altronus is very badly made.

If he isn't down by next round remember you can supernova for 5d6 damage.

Someone want to bot Kesk or Quig?

R2
Navasi - Get em!

BB 56

Quig moves forward and shoots at this two headed thing with his semi auto pistol

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Scout takes a shot as well.

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Looks like you missed the +1 to hit from 'Get em' - which would mean your bullet hits!

"Hey hey ok I surrender" Borgor announces, and Bogo stops trying to hit him in the face.

Party?

Obozaya stands up and looks at the creature in surprise. Then back at her teammates and again back at the creature.

"Uh... you sure? Well, okay, if you're surrendering, I guess we need to tie you up or something. To make sure its not a trick."

Obozaya looks around for something to secure the creature with.

"What kind of boots are you wearing?" Quig shouts from the back. "Take off your boots."

"Is it wearing boots, actually?" Quig says much more quietly, so only Keskodai and Navasi can hear, "I can't see from here."

"Quig, pretty sure that big guy's boots aren't gonna fit you."

"Hey, Bogo, where are Snips and Don?" she asks the giant. "I don't wanna get surprised by someone that doesn't know he surrendered," she comments back to the team.

"Snips and Don... they're upstairs just working on the ship, right?" he replies back partly confused and looks at Borgor then back at the party "What's going on, where's Livewire? Who are you people?". Borgor looks at the floor at lot like some awful secret is about to be revealed.

Bogoborgor starts taking off their boots.

Altronus leans back and lets his solar armblade turn back into a mote. "Surrender. Oh, excellent!"

"It seems you are quite confused Bago. Livewire is safe. She told us that your ship crashed into this moon here, Salvation's End, but she managed to jettison away." He extends a pair of hands to gesture towards the environment. "We did not find Snips and Don up above. If they are not down here somewhere, the goblins may have killed them. Do you know anything about that Borgor?"

He shakes his head "More importantly, how did the two of you become fused together? Is it some kind of terrible machine hiding within this moon that did it? Can we reverse the process so that Bago and Livewire may reunite? It would be best that we bring you both out of here."

Before Borgor or Bago can finish responding, Altronus rudely interrupts them with a "AH! You two have been down here. Did you find the source of the strange signal?"

Before Borgor or Bago can finish responding, Altronus rudely interrupts them with a "AH! You two have been down here. Did you find the source of the strange signal?"

Borgor replies, "We are an ettin" as if this answers everything to which Bogo adds "We've al;ways been this way, but most of us are do not have such a dimwit to share a body with, nothing a spell can't solve..."

Borgor answers and Bogo listens: "We were caught by a tractor beam. Livewire turned the archer around to try to escape and the next moment we crashed into the moon. Snips and Xalak-don were dead, Livewire was nowhere to be seen and we were caught by the goblins" Bago chimes in "I don't remember much at all, it's a bit hazy, I think my brother drugged me or something. You said Livewire is safe, where is she?"

You give the Ettin a brief as to what has happened and there is a bit of shock and concern. "Yes, I agree with your friends, It would be best to bind us" Borgor answers "was she sent to prison because of us? I would gladly take her place! Do you know people who can arrange that?"

You move down the stairs after binding the ettin. The electric hum of a powered computer console echoes throughout the bowels of this recessed chamber. A series of thick cords attached to the console connects to a large, gore-covered hatch. The hatch firmly seals against the room’s rough stone floor. Several vents surround the hatch, each spewing forth gouts of miasmic exhaust and emitting angry whistles at irregular intervals.

The computer console’s screen rapidly scrolls through a series of blueprints, plans, and schematics that hint at a larger substructure beyond the closed hatch. Navasi starts downloading the information to his datapad.

Quig recognizes that the hatch is made of pure adamantine. It seems that the way to open it is also in the computer. Quig uses the mainframes power to assist and with brute computing force manages to open the hatch, revealing an entry to an underground labyrinth that is beyond the scope of this adventure! - but you also find the charred bodies of the two missing crew, they appear to have been bound and sacrificed - clearly by Goblins.

You head back to your spaceship. Luckily, the Starstone makes for a quick return trip to Absalom Station. Luwazi Elsebo heaps praise upon you for a mission well done and is excited to discuss future opportunities with you if you so desire. Future Starfinder Society missions are sure to explore the interior of Salvation’s End.

For now, you should take satisfaction that your discovery of such an immense and unexplored location is sure to get the attention of countless organizations—not to mention catapult the Starfinder Society back onto the galactic stage as an organization with sole rights to explore the false moon!

The End

Post credit scene: Borgor is downloaded into another form and sent to the prison, whilst Bago and Livewire are reunited as a happy couple!

Huzzah!

Thanks for the game, everybody.

Lol, I don't know why, but I totally missed OOC that they could be an ettin. Surprise twist ending!

Safe back on the station, Altronus eagerly discusses the group's findings. After yakking the poor First Seeker's ear off with excited theories about how this complex may relate to the evil machinations of the greys, he puts his name in for future missions with Luwazi Elsebo. After this one, his curiosity about the false moon has been more than piqued.

I appreciate the post credits scene! The ill fated lovers are reunited! *cheers*

Yes, agreed. I'm sorry that my posting was very intermittent. A lot going on this holiday year. Thanks for the game, Shifty!
