SFS PbP Gameday 6 - Scenario #1-00: Claim to Salvation - DMRhino (Inactive)

Game Master RyanH

To be clear... pegasus's tern to move... and Science officer can act... once that's done Navasi's shooting can kick off!

Iseph turns slightly and keeps the ship steady while performing evasive maneuvers.

Piloting: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23

DC=18, +2 to AC

Really sorry about the delay, unexpected things came up and kept me away from the computer.

Can I move to a firing station for a round, I don't really see another option that would help us now?

Also anyone else have the site down on them?

I do not currently know of a reason you can not switch roles at will. Until I discover otherwise (and I need to reread the ship chapter, we'll go with you being able to switch to a gun.

"You can switch between roles but this change must occur at the start of a round before the Engineering phase" - CRB Pg 322. Also you would loose the +2 I gave you. You could always re balance our shields, but I would target their weapons or engines

[ooc]And now I know otherwise... let's go with you still in science officer this round so we don't have to also retcon the +2, etc... Keskodai is regretting not running to a gun as he interacts with the science station.[ooc]

Thanks, yeah I guess targeting is the best bet this round

Seeing that the green ship ks closing in, Keskodai will attempt to target its engines.

Targeting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Round 2

Effects still in play
Round 2/4 of Gunners being shaken on Pegasus (-2 to hit) - The horrible song continues!
Navasi's taunt has worn off.

Engineering Phase
Pegasus - +2 to science officer
Green- Power to guns (1's become 2's)
Green- Power to guns (1's become 2's)
All Goblins have +2 AC

Pegasus Science Officer - DC 19 - The systems are just not working well...
The goblins start scanning the Pegasus.

The tractor beam shoots at the ship again tractor beam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 - it shoots wide again

shoot em up phase
Navasi jumps in firing the port gun and the one turret! (Starboard and Forward available to shoot)
The port laser net goes wide, but the turret scores a hit on yellows forward shields... blasting through and causing debris to go flying (Results represented already above

Well s$%&... was confirming crew size and from what I understand now, these are tiny racers with 1 crew... SO as I understand it, the pilot can fly and take a single shot with a penalty. Since they fired a ton last time thinking it was a bigger crew... I'll forgo shooting now as the guns cool!

Zhri's shot!

is the +2 science officer bonus still in effect, if not Keskodai will switch to a gunnery station at the top of this round. If there is an open gun that is

-Posted with Wayfinder

The +2 to Science is only until the enxt Engineering phase when I can transfer power to any other system. If you are planning to move to gunner I wont transfer it to Science again, Ill probably boost shields or something.

As for the number of Gunners, we can have as many as we like. Each gunner can control ANY of the ships weapons. The catch is that each gun can only be fired once per round.

So the more gunners we have the more damage we can do in a round (without the need to take a -4 penalty for firing two weapons at the same time).

gotcha, then yeah I'll move this round, and move back if the shields need to be balanced.

Keskodai moves to a gunnery station and telepathically let's Raia know he is no longer at his science post.

-Posted with Wayfinder

gunner torret YELLOW + laser GREEN : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 103d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 1) = 82d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7

Zri screams furiously meanwhile song continues breaking her concentration.

Sorry for delay

Round 2 - Firing Phase

Zhri goes to fire the Turret and sees Navasi has already fired it, leaving the starboard gun... which misses horribly!

Round 3

Current Roles
Captain:None
Pilot: Iseph
Gunner: Obozata, Navasi, Keskodai - Be sure to specify which guns you use!
Science Officer: None
Engineer: Raia

Engineering Phase
The goblins seem to be focusing on other tasks...

Players may state a change in role
Raia may perform some engineering!

"Damn Goblins. Why won't you die" Raia Curses at the attacking ships. "SHORING UP SHIELDS" she shouts to the rest of the crew as she transfers power to the shields

Engineering Check, DC 18: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Having finally figured out how to manipulate the controls juuuust right, Raises console lights up icons around a silhouette of the ship indicating that all shields have been returned to full power. 5% of max PCU = 8 Points distributed evenly to a quadrants max.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Zri tries again to shoot those little green demons.

Torret to the GREEN: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 223d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 5) = 13

Zhri.... we'll wait and preroll the firing during the firing phase... prior to that phase you'all might want to choose your guns.

Round 3

Current Roles
Captain:None
Pilot: Iseph
Gunner: Obozata, Navasi, Keskodai - Be sure to specify which guns you use!
Science Officer: None
Engineer: Raia

Engineering Phase
The goblins seem to be focusing on other tasks...
Raia starts to get the feel of the computers and diverts some power to the shields!

helm phase

Pegasus must move first
No Science officer to act this round

Whoops... green moves first, then Peg

Green does some rolls trying to evade any shots Evade: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25... and banks around coming right at the Pegasus...

Green: +2 AC

Pegasus should move now and perform any pilot actions if desired.

Turn 1

Iseph turns to make sure that all enemy ships are in range of their guns, and continues their evasive maneuvers.

Piloting: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 = 14
DC 18

But their hands slip on the controls and the ship moves as normal.

The rest of the goblin pilots continue to weave and twirl to evade fire

Evade: 1d20 + 10

Green: +2 AC
Blue: Evade: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 AC +2
Red: Evade: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 AC + 2
Yellow: Evade: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 AC +2

The Pegasus again feels the tractor beam attempt to lock on to them

Tractor Beam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

They're really bad at it...

Firing Phase
Everyone should fire, it's simultaneous.

Target AC 13
Green
FWD light Laser at PORT: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
damage: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Red
FWD light Laser at STARBOARD: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

Yellow
FWD light Laser at AFT - shooting two weapons: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 4 = 2
damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4
Gun is glitching -2 to hit! Junker...
Turret Flack Thrower at AFT - shooting two weapons: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 4 = 14
damage: 3d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 1) = 7

Blue
FWD light Laser at AFT - shooting two weapons: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 4 = 3
damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
Turret Flack Thrower at AFT - shooting two weapons: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 4 = 15
damage: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 3, 1) = 5

The two ships that swung in behind the Pegasus get in heavy hits with their flak turrets... shields are nearly depleted... good think Raia had boosted the shields!

You may fire!
Be sure to specific 1) the gun you are using 2) include the -2 to hit from the goblin song...
You may want to determine who is shooting what... otherwise I'm taking first come first served.

Keskodai....I need you back on the science station to rebalance our shields. I can only boost them a little and they wont take another beating like that States Raia telepathically to Keskodai amogst all of the proximity alarms and weapon impacts.

GM, I am slightly confused by our shields ATM. you said that we got hit in our rear shields but you say they are still full? Can you please confirm so we can rebalance if needed.

can I rebalance this round or do I have to fire, move, then rebalance next round?

-Posted with Wayfinder

You can only move at the start of a round. So shoot this round then move during the next.

The stats show the aft shields at 3... I think I just said "nearly depleted" and it was good that Raia had boosted them (else they would have been gone.) Don't see where I said they were still full (and if I did, I was wrong)

All you can do right now is fire.... then move at the beginning of the round like Raia said.

I use the torret against the green ship

torret including -2 for song: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 123d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 1) = 11

Zri screams meanwhile she is firing.

"Stupid goblins! DIE! DIE!"

Thanks...

No port hits

Navasi

Port guns at green, including -2: 1d20 + 4 + 4 + 2 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 4 + 2 - 2 - 4 = 152d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9
Starboard guns at red, including -2: 1d20 + 4 + 4 + 2 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 4 + 2 - 2 - 4 = 7

I don't think there is a gun for me to fire, the front gun os the only one that has not been fired, and there doesn't look like there is anyone in that quadrant

-Posted with Wayfinder

Round 3 Wrap up
The goblin ships swarm around the Pegasus. The two junkers to her aft hit the Pegasus with a hail of flack, nearly depleting the aft shields. Thankfully, pieces fly off of the yellow junker's forward laser as it misfires.

Meanwhile, all fire from the crew of the Pegasus misses their prey... the situation is beginning to look dire as goblin junkers are moving in. It's only a matter of time before the tractor beam from the surface snares the ship!

Round - 4

Engineering Phase
The goblins seem to be focusing on other tasks...
Players may state a change in role
Raia can perform engineering checks

Heeding the advice of Ria? Keskodai runs back to the science station and prepares to balance the shields.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Engineering phase

Captain: None
Engineer: Raia
Pilot: Iseph
Science Officer: Keskodai - Back to the science station!
Gunner: Obozata, Navasi

Raia may act...

Hey Iseph, how about you point that nose in the direction of those gobbo's? I've got a particle beam here, and it keeps telling me it wants to shoot goblins.

Engineering Check, DC 18: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Raia enters the same series of commands as before and it becomes clear that the Technomancy is strong with this one. Almost as soon as the final command is entered, as if she can speak to the computer, her console lights up again indicating that shields have been boosted.

"Thats what I like to see....SHIELDS REINFORCED" she shouts to the rest of the crew, "NOW KINDLY DISPOSE OF THESE GOBLINS ALREADY"

GM, shields should now be (FPAS) 15/15/10/10. I would also like to point out a clarification in the Paizo FAQ for Starfinder that says "You can distribute the restored Shield Points across the shield's four quadrants as you see fit."

Raia boosts the engines...

Helm Phase

The two ships to the aft swoop by and bank to either side, while the ones that were flanking maneuver behind... all ships continue their erratic evasive flying.

Evasive
Yellow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 +2 AC
blue: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 +2 AC
green: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 +2 AC
red: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 +2 AC

Pegasus can move
Science officer can act

Raia boosts the engines...

Shields :-P. And yes, boosting the shields allows me to 'Restore' shield points permanently, provided I pass my Engineering check.

jeeezus me...

Heeey, that's what I like to see! Now get me the boom end of this thing pointed to those floating barrels.

"Affirmative," Iseph nods, and pulls back on a handle. As he does, the starship begins moving backwards, while staying aimed at the goblin junkers.

Piloting: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 14 + 1 = 26

Trick: Back off DC 18

With an excellent maneuver, Top Gun style, Iseph puts on the breaks and lets the goblin junkers shoot past!

Keskodai accesses the computer trying to bend it to his desires... Science Officer acts

Keskodai attempts to target the green ships hull.

Target : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16+ any bonus from sensors

-Posted with Wayfinder

The tractor beam emits again, Tractor Beam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

The beam makes the ship sluggish... AC and TL are reduced 2!

Engineering Phase Summary
Iseph Boosted Shields
Goblins did nothing

Helm Phase Summary
Ships moved
Keskodai using computer aid of the computer targets GREEN (Choose a system-Core, Engines, Life Support, Sensors, or Weapons) a 19 or 20 crits.
Goblin Tractor Beam HIT and makes the ship sluggish

Gunner Phase

Goblins all fire a shot -2 for snap shot... they're all focusing on flying

Green
Turret flak thrower to PORT: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 2 + 1 = 23
damage: 3d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) = 8

Blue
Turret flak thrower to FWD - Range: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 2 + 1 - 2 = 4
damage: 3d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 4) = 7

Red
Turret flak thrower to FWD: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 2 + 1 = 17
damage: 3d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 2) = 9

Yellow Crited weapon -2 to his
Turret flak thrower - range: 1d20 + 5 - 2 - 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 2 - 2 + 1 - 2 = 3
damage: 3d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 1) = 8

The pegasus takes some flak on the port and forward shields... alarms are chirping as the ship shudders... but all system report nominal!

Pilot: Iseph
Gunner: Obozata, Navasi,
Science Officer: Keskodai
Engineer: Raia
Helm Phase

Gunners May Shoot! Last round for -2 for scary goblin song...

Zri shoots again.

- I hate goblins! I HATE THEM!

Torret vs Green goblin (with -2): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 103d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4) = 9

Navasi puts the crosshairs on the nearest goblin hit, swiveling both gun mounts to their extreme positions.

Forward Guns, Red: 1d20 + 4 + 4 + 2 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 + 2 - 2 - 4 = 93d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 1) = 3
Starboard Guns, Red: 1d20 + 4 + 4 + 2 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 4 + 2 - 2 - 4 = 202d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

The turret and the forward guns both miss their targets, but the starboard guns find their mark hitting the aft of the RED ship!

ROUND FIVE BEGINS!

Pilot: Iseph
Gunner: Obozata, Navasi,
Science Officer: Keskodai
Engineer: Raia

You may change positions
Engineer May Act

"I CANT KEEP THIS UP FOREVER...."

Engineering Check, DC 18: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Raia enters another series of commands but the jolt from the tractor beam made her lose balance and mistype the final command sequence and the display lights up red with errors as power fails to be diverted to the shield generators.

"По дяволите, глупави гоблини" Raia spouts in Lashuntan to noone in particular.

Keskodai, I highly recommend you rebalance our shields when those goblins come around again, I cant get anymore power to them right now, She continues telepatically to Keskodai

Raia's attempts to boost the shields fails
The Goblins are intent on flying.

Gunner Phase

Goblins all fire a shot -2 for snap shot... they're all focusing on flying

Green and blue fire their fwd lasers... you can hear them talking about how cool that will look as they swoop in on your port, lasers blasting.

Green
FWD Light Laser: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 2 = 11
damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

Blue
FWD Light Laser: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 2 = 10
damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Over the radio you hear them exclaim... "Still looked cool! Yeeeee haaawww"

Yellow, to the Port, and Red at your Aft let loose their Flak Turrets though...

Red
Turret flak thrower: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

The flak rains down on the ship... 9 damage to Port and 6 to the weekend aft. Alarms are wailing... the port shields indicator flashing...

Pilot: Iseph
Gunner: Obozata, Navasi,
Science Officer: Keskodai
