[SFS - PbP Gameday VI] Starfinder - Into the unknown (all parts) - Table II (Inactive)

Game Master Kludde

Lira again tries a trick attack at the skeleton. "Why won't this think just die? Again. Her shot goes wild again.

Survival Trick: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 4 = 12
Laser: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
The dicebot hates my SFS game. Sigh

Krensher also attacks it again.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 1) + 4 = 10
crit damage!: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 5) + 4 = 11

Zoyobo is bleeding freely now. He continues hissing in rage, attacking the skeleton with fists and boots.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

TRS-80 pauses...presumably the last one is dead after Krenshar's handiwork...

Quig looks over the shoulders of those on the front line. "Did you get it?"

Krensher unleashes the full fury of his irritation with the skeleton, and atomizes the skull. To be honest, there is very little left of the skeleton once the smoke clear.

Combat over!

The corridors eventually lead to the central command room. The bridge of the Endless Threnody is located behind the enormous crimson eye at the front of the ship, bathed in a blood-red glow. The crew stations are fabricated from bone and steel, apparently grown from the floor and walls of this room. Battle damage is evident throughout the bridge, but it is now empty and utterly silent—truly a ghost ship.

The bridge's computer is secured through technology and magic - getting in is not going to be easy

Both computers and mysticism will work here

Zayobo takes a serum of healing.

1d8 ⇒ 6

He waits for TRS to take a look at the computer.

Krensher waits for TRS to do his thing, though impatiently tapping his foot the whole time.

Quig takes a look at the strange computer.

"I haven't seen anything like this...this may be a tough nut to crack."

computers: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

"TRS let me know if you need assistance." She wanders around the bridge looking at all of the stations while she waits.

Anyone who can please roll an aid another :)
Quiq...please help with engineer check?

Computer Check (Gain Root Access): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Engineering Check (Identify Technology): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Computer Check (Detect Fake Shell): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

TRS-80 appreciates the confidence of his fellow starfinders, and sits at the console to ply his trade to the upmost of his abilities for the good of the outfit and the benefit on his beloved Exo-Guardian brethern...
He notices elements within the console that lead to brief moments of intense insight that he alone is privy to...

Computer Aid: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Lira slides into a seat next to TRS, and begins to work alongside him. Pointing out things that are very obvious to him, but he's to polite to point that out.

TRS-80 manages to bypass the system's security layer, and manages to access the files of the Endless Threnody. The ship's logbook tell of uncovering a crashed spaceship on the planet Ulmarid, before being attacked by a pirate ship sailing under the callsign 'Lawblight'. The shift has been adrift in this are of space ever since, dispatching a crewmember to Absalom station to search for parts....

Returning to the Loreseeker, the group makes contact with Arvin, who sounds very pleased. Arvin provides a password to open a concealed compartment within the Loreseeker that contains delicacies that are suitable to most palates, such as sticks of candied meats. “I know this mission isn’t yet complete,” he explains, “but you’ve earned the right to celebrate a bit on your return trip. I asked the quartermaster to include a few delicacies so you can enjoy being alive—after an encounter with necromancy.”

Return to base, crew!

Upon returning to Absalom station, there is little time for anything else but to transfer to a larger class ship, a Society Drake. The ship launches before any briefing, with the crew on board, and about an hour later a hologram message arrives.

Venture-Captain Arvin’s pre-recorded hologram stands on the bridge of the Odyssey, his hands clasped behind his back. “Hopefully your journey was uneventful. Based on your previous mission, we’ve obtained information about the planet of Ulmarid. The desert world has breathable atmosphere but is devoid of intelligent civilization. A cloud of asteroids—leftovers from a collision of the planet’s moons long ago—surrounds the planet, so you must carefully navigate the Odyssey to the surface to find the crashed Unbounded Wayfarer.

“Be sure to bring the Starfinder insignias with you; they will be critical in recovering the information the Starfinders left behind. If you can recover any of the lost Starfinders—alive or dead—please do so as well. Good luck.”

You can make a Computers check to dive through the ship's database.

Ulmarid is surrounded by a dense layer of asteroids - navigating it is going to be tricky. I need a piloting check. The captain can aid (with intimidate or piloting) and the science officer can aid with a computers check

Krensher grumbles once the mission briefing is done. "So we have to go find a crashed ship. They probably just couldn't hack it. Starfinders need to be able to survive in any situation. Morons."

When it comes time to navigate the asteroids, Krensher stands directly behind the pilot and barks harsh orders at him/her. Intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 but is likely not very helpful this time.

Lira spends her time on the trip when not needed to pilot to dig through the ships database.

Computer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Lira glares at KRensher as he barks orders at her. "I"m working on it. She carefully pilots through the asteroids.

Pilot: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

TRS-80 assumes the science officer role and tries to assist Lira with the asteroid field...

His face visibly sweating with the synthetic sweat he is trying out to seem more biological...but not necessarily human.

Computer Check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Lira navigates through the asteroid's safely, even though she has a couple of close shaves with some big rocks. When entering the atmosphere, she picks up the distress beacon of the Unbounded Wayfarer. It crashed amid sand dunes, which are too soft to bear the Odyssey's weight. The nearest landing sport is about an half-hour walk away. There, on a slab of rock, the Oddysey can land safely.

The surface of Ulmarid is a wind-scoured desert with jagged protrusions of rock thrusting up through the sand. The air has a harsh tang, like burning metal.

If you venture out to the crash site, I need a survival check from all of you

Survival Check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

TRS-80 and VIC-20 both venture out into the crash site as a dynamic duo of fear and respect...:)

Quig sends his drone, Scout, ahead to look for a safe way to traverse the dunes.

"I think I see a path..." he says while examining the data feed from Scout.

survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Zayobo breathes deeply, basking in the heat. "Nobody told me we were going on holiday! What a lovely planet." He seems happy to let the others take the lead. The big vesk does look around a bit though, taking the lay of the land.

Lira exits the ship, and studies the red wastes of Ulmarid. "It's not the most welcoming planet. Let's find the ship."

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Abotu halfway between landed ship and crashed ship, Quig spots a cloud of dust on the horizon. When he points it out to TRS, he remembers a particular entry stored in his databanks: Ulmarid. Mostly harmless, except for the sudden and ferocious storms of poisonous crystals in the atmosphere.

It's time to run for cover, though the open dunes of Ulmarid offer very little. There is little other option but to ride out the storm.

Please make three consecutive reflex saves, against DC 12 and with a +4 bonus

Reflex Saves: +8 (+2 Class Bonus, +2 Dex, +4 From GM)*

*Conditional Save: +2 Racial Save [Constructed] vs. Poison (Not added in)

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 = 10
Reflex: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 4 = 18
Reflex: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 4 = 15

Lira doesn't manage to avoid all of the crystals in the atmosphere as the group runs for cover.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Reflex save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Reflex save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Zayobo dodges the crystals with aplomb as he sprints for cover.

Quig makes a wrong turn at first, but then recovers well.

reflex: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 = 16
reflex: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 4 = 26
reflex: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 4 = 26

Survival: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

The party has been warned, which helps in taking cover against the nasty airborne shard. Krensger and Lira are not fortunate enough, though, and takes some nasty scratches from dense clusters of the crystal storm

Damage, Lira: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Damage, Krensher: 1d6 ⇒ 3

As quickly as it began, the storm abates, leaving only a dusty plain. The wreckage on a vessel looms on the horizon, the frontal anti-personnel weapon sticking out of the sand. Before the party can reach it, though, a massive burrowing creature jumps up from under the sand.

That gun on that vessel (indicated by the star on the nose of the ship) looks fully functional, if a bit damaged.

Zayobo hustles off to the side of the group, raising his rifle as he does. Once he's a few feet clear of the others, he fires off a shot at the sand worm thing.

Attack v. KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Penetrating P Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 10

Free Action: TRS-80 observes the oversized desert worm and considers whether he can pull up an information about them...

[dice=Culture Check]1d20+4[/Culture]

TRS-80 apprehensively walks 15 feet east, and then activates his Custom Rig which is integrated into his chest. He attempts to communicate with the crashed starship to see if there are any living Starfinders aboard. (Custom Rig functions as a MK I Comm unit)

Lira moves forward as part of her action. She uses her survival skill to try to get an advantage on the creature.

Trick Attack Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Azamoth Laser Pistol: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2 If Trick Attack Hits: 1d4 ⇒ 3
If Trick attack hits the creature is flat foooted.

VIC-20 remains motionless, and activates its Reactive Camouflage modification.

TRS-80 Culture Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Zayobo blasts the creature and sends chitin flying

TRS remembers a similar creature featured in the weekday romantic miniseries 'My love from a dry planet', but that series didn't give much more detail than 'it lives in the sand'. (Mysticism would be appropriate)

TRS then tries to communicate with the shield, but his comm unit remains eerily silent.

Meanwhile, Lira tries to shoot the worm, but only kicks up some dust.

Krensher takes some shards to the face, depleting his stamina reserves.
He moves forward 30 feet to help shield Lira, and activates his stellar armor.

I cannot wait until I can afford a sniper rifle.

A bit jaded, Krensher moves into position.

Can I have an action for Quig?

I'll put Quig on delay

The fangy beats rushes at Krensher, and nearly swallows him whole.

Bite, Krensher: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 321d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d3 ⇒ 1 8 regular plus sonic
Extra damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 and another 8 regular

Sorry, haven't been able to get on the site and post despite multiple attempts. I'll post for last round and this round.

Quig presses some buttons on the keypad at his wrist and Scout whirs into action. It starts blasting at the enemy creature, but none of the blasts lands anywhere near it.

pistol: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

pistol: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

TRS-80 moves 60 feet east towards The Shield..hoping to gain access the guns next round.

VIC-20 sneaks 15 feet East

Represented by the "V" on the map.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Zayobo drops his rifle in the sand, and charges to Krensher's aid. He draws his doshko as he runs, slamming the tri-bladed lazer axe down into the sand worm.

Dropping rifle, charging worm. I don't have access to the full rules, so I'm just treating a charge like PFRPG.
If it AOOs me, I have mobility so +4 AC

Attack v KAC (charge): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8
P Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Wow, epic fail. AC is 14 after charge for the next round.

Quig fires a couple of random shorts - it's not quite clear what he is aiming for. TRS moves up. The drone moves shallowly through sand - let's hope the sensors don't get blocked. Eyes are on Zayobo for scoring a hit on the wild creature, but no luck.

Krensher's form droops int he creature's mouth. I'm unconscious and dying. Krensher will use all three of his RP to stabilize, and hope that the creature drops him.

I thought I had posted. Sorry.

Lira studies the terrain around the creature trying to find just the right place. She still misses the creature as she fires he laser pistol at it.

Survival Trick: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 4 = 16
Laser: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

The creature spits out Krensher, who lands softly in the loose sand. Lira tries to shoot the fierce creature, but misses.

The deadly set of teeth then snap at Zayobo, who takes a good hit as well.

Bite, Zayobo: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 211d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d3 ⇒ 2

TRS can fire the gun this round. It's a X-gen gun

Scout adjusts its aim and fires off another pair of blasts as Quig directs the drone from the ground.

pistol: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
pistol: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 231d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Lira moves and fires her laser pistol again at the creature. She still misses with her shot.

Survival Trick: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 4 = 27
Laser: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Barely standing after the nasty bite, Zayobo attempts to kill the creature before it can kill him.

Attack v KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

I hate you RNG

Blood and worm spit in his eyes blinds Zayobo, and he misses the creature completely. Well, it was a good run while it lasted!

TRS-80 scrambles over to the anti-personnel weapon and fires it desperately at the overgrown maggot devouring the starfinders in the jaded heat.

TRS-80 scurries over to the X-Gen Gun and fires with desperation and perspiration while that overgrown maggot tries to devour the starfinders.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d12 ⇒ 3

Krensher hangs out on the ground, unconscious.
