"Undead survivals...?" - Odo chuckles, and waits for the scout.
Wait a second Navasi my good man. It's quite dark and we don't want to give away our location too soon.
Let me go on ahead as I can see just fine in the dark. You and the others follow me at a distance with a light source, yes?
I start moving down the central hallway in the direction of the noises, using stealth and trying to hear more.
You advance slowly and begin to see a strange glow emanating from somewhere ahead.
Coming a little bit closer you see that the glow comes from one of the walls. It appears to be emanating from some kong of broken reactor.
Oposite of that wall another reactor exists but it appears offline.
Wandering around dragging their feet, apparently drawn to the light like a moth to the flame, are three ghastly figures.
Their clothes torn and ragged show a skeletal body underneath and you see the light reflecting on skinned skulls .
The shock of this sight startles you and you unintentionally break the section of the wall you were leaning into.
As one, six eyes of utter blackness turn to you!
"There are the bastards..." - Odo hisses.
Map updated
Speaking to the intercom...
There's some undead over here guys. Three of them. Come on over.
I want to understand what is that device still emitting some light, and maybe why the undead are drawn to it.
The creatures advance towards the mechanic opening their mouths as if wailing, but no sound exists in the dead of vacuum
They attack him with their sharp claws like THIS!
Laking muscles appears to be a liability though, and they both miss
Odo wades in, his breathing heavy inside the vacuum sealed ceremonial plate - "So these are dead but not dead or what?" - he grunts - "Hey! Get away from the boy! We still need him!" - then swings his doshko hard in an overhead chop.
I attack the one in front of me with my club.
Scout attacks the one behind with his gun.
As Oderon begins to move, Navasi fires her laser pistol on one of the undead grasing him. Then the vesk finishes him off with a blow of her doshko
Quigonius feeling himself preassured barely connects with his club trusting on his faithful companion to fare a bit better. It does and it scores a minor hit.
Keskodai advances a bit and fires his pistol too scoring a minor hit
If the creatures felt the loss of one of them, they don't show it; they advance and keep atacking
Their fury seems to be increasing and they both score vicious hits on Quigonius!
Altough focused on the fight, the two heroes on the back stay alert and see new foes appearing to flank them!
Odo growls, and swings again.
I retreat and drink a Serum of Healing.
Scout fires again, this time at the undead which used to be in front of me.
The vesk swings and fails miserably
The rear guard focuses their fire on one of the skeletons and both hit but the creatures keeps advancing!
Quigonis exchanges places with his robot and heals himself a bit
As you are retreating, you notice that, as the generator pulses, the skeleton near it seems to repair itself a bit
The creatures advance and attack without hesitating
The two in the front focuses on Oderon and one of them manages to score a hit
Keskodai and Navasi are also hit by the sharp claws of their opponents
"Finally!" - Oderon hisses as he is hit - "Could you be a worthy opponent?!" - then swings his doshko in an overhead chop.
Then seems befuddled, as certainly there is a malfunction with his weapon.
I shoot at Blue, and get Scout to shoot at him too.
The group does not appear ready for combat and miss many attacks.
Only Quig and his drone manage small hits
Keshkodai makes a chirping sound and fires his weapon at his opponent nimbly dodging the counter attack and manages a small hit as well
The creatures make no sound as they press on, scoring many hits
EDIT: changed Quig to Scout
Oderon grunts and attacks.
I rinse and repeat, taking a 5' step back.
I drink a serum of healing
Hey team, I think that glowing generator is healing the undead. Can somebody take it out?
"Kinda busy over here pal!" - Oderon hisses - "Can't you take it out?"
|
I move 5 feets to the left and focus on the purple one:
Kesh let's kill 1 at a time, let's focus on this first. Go a bit north so that they can't flank you. Let's send him to his final rest ...
I use Get'em (move action) on the purple one "Navasi and her allies gain a +1 morale bonus to attack rolls against that foe until the end of her next turn."
Then I attack the purple.
Kesh follows your lead and fires on the purple as well
Even though it is just a graze, it's enough to destroy the creature
Quig and Scout finnaly manage to take down their opponent too as did Oberon
The remaning undead don't slow down and keep attacking but they both miss
"Hah! Much better" - Odo chuckles, and moves off to wherever he can face another opponent, finding one still battling his companions.
The vesk moves confidant and finishes the last skeleton with an overhead chop
The undead crumbles to the ground, the fight is over!
"What now boys?" - Oderon asks.
I say we push on, let's get this over with.
We need to find the bridge and traces of the Starfinder ship, so let's keep heading down the hall.
"Anyone want to scout or shall I?" - Odo grins.
That would be me. Right you are Oderon!
I walk down the corridor with Scout at my side while it's dark.
If we come to a brighter area I send Scout ahead.
Oderon advances just a bit until he runs into a closed door
Oderon listens at the door, and checks it for traps even if it is not his specialty.
Oderon examines the door but he doesn't see anything resembling a trap
"Meh" - Odo shrugs and pushes the door open.
Oderon casually opens the door and is greeted with the ship's bridge, 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.
I walk inside and do a survey of the room. I'm looking at first for dangerous stuff, like anything I would suspect it's a booby trap.
Once I'm confident there's no danger (or as confident as I can be with this alien tech) I start looking for something like the main computer or the captain's console.
You identify what you think it's the main computer.
It resembles the one you saw on the docking bay in that it doesn't appear to work on electricity or anything that you know
Altough Keshkodai's knowledge of computers isn't that good, he understands that there's more than science operating here.
Using his mystical knowledge he accesses the computer almost "asking" for the information, rather than program it.
He manages to bypass the systems security and deciphers the ship's movements in the last weeks.
Analysing the data he detects an event with the descriptor "Unbounded Wayfarer" and pinpoints the location of the encounter
Apparently there's more information relating that event, probably explaining the damage taken by this ship but it is not readly available as it is in the captain's log
I can try to help with computers as well...
Oderon keeps watch and circles the room looking for anything suspicious as his companions try to gather intel on the 'Unbounded Wayfarer'
You manage to access the ships log and discover that this ship did find the Unbounded Wayfarer and managed to plunder some of it.
On their way out they were attacked by a pirate ship called Lawblight, thats what caused the damaged displayed by the undead ship.
This ship managed to scan its enemies and you find some information about the pirates
Apparently there's nothing more of value on this ship
