If they do get up to me and crit on me, I do have the tatoo of the starfinder, the welcome to starfinder boon, which gives me 10 temps. Or if they do 15 points of dmg to me from a special ability

Osuro moves up alongside the bridge, taking a risk in order to establish private communications. From her stopping point, she can include everyone in the group except Z Data Z.

"These men are going to try to hurt you. As soon as you can, make a break to get around the one on our end of the bridge and get into our group. We can better protect you among us than among them."

Double move

Seeing the Starfinders comming, The Yellow Thug moves up and attempts to grab Ceren.
CMB: 1d20 ⇒ 7 He fails

The Blue one shoots at the nearest foe Osuro.
Electronical Attack (EAC): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

The Red one moves up on Nalun and attacks with a baton.
K Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

With all three of them missing, it is up to Data Z and round 2.

That was most unwise. The Balance demands action. Nalun says as his mote springs into his hand, extending into a blade.

Nalun slashes at the tough 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Photon Mode Activated. 1/3

"Run!" Osuro gets just a tad closer to the thug who tried to grab Ceren before attempting to overwhelm him with imagery of the worst displays of bodily fluid releases Osuro has ever seen.

Move - Guarded Step, effectively; Standard - Cast Daze at Yellow, DC13 Will

As the thugs turned and his fellow Starfinders moved forward and they all began swatting at each other ineffectually, Isho sighed and shook his head. What have I gotten myself into, he thought, reaching back and pulling his rarely-used Lizardstopper pistol from the small holster under her jacket. He'd had the small semi-auto slugthrower for years back on Akiton - most people carried something similar just in case one of the local Ikeshtis went feral all of a sudden.

"The things an ysoki's gotta do in this universe," he muttered, then pointed the pistol into the air and fired off a warning round. "Alright you bums, last chance to back off the old lady before I fill you with lead-based alloy."

Move: Draw Semi-auto Pistol
Standard:

Meanwhile, Pointy the Drone uses his Stealth skill unit to hide.
Drone Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Data moves closer and fires a yellow energy ray at blue spell energy ray, picked lighting
hit: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (16) = 19 vs EAC not sure what to add in starfinder. My dex is +2 and my int is +3, I don't think it is like pathfinder where attacks to hit is based off of dex, but off of the ability that casts spells. My bab is 0, but I added my int. dmg: 1d3 ⇒ 3 electric.

Joker immediately lunges in to defend Ceres.

Trick Attack vs Yellow, risking AoO from Red

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 4 = 19

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + (1) = 4

Need to see which one of the guys saw through Joker's Stealth the first time.

Red Perception: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 4 = 26
AoO: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Missed

Seeing their red-tented friend attack at Joker, the other two watch him as he moves up, but don't get a chance to attack.

Yellow Daze: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Red K.Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Blue K.Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Yellow K.Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Damage vs Nalun: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Sorry.. Got called away by students. Will update more after my lesson.

Meat of the last post.

Seeing Joker trying to sneak around, the Red thug kept an eye on him while he was moving up. Seeing him move onto the bridge, the Red Thug swang his baton but didn't connect.

The two on Ceren saw this and were not caught unaware of his approach and were not caught off guard. Switching to their batons, both swang at Joker, but both missed. Drawing a weapon, Joker you get one AoO on one of the two.

Meanwhile, Red swang his baton once more at Nalun. Finally catching him on the cheek. Doing somewhat little damage.

I was never told if my last attack hit or not, need to know before I make a decision.

Sorry Z. It was a hit. Joker, he attacked her with a baton. Which he had to draw.

Ah, right. Vs Blue it is, then.

Nalun takes the blow and ripostes!

And Data is well focused when firing his beams.

Frowning, Osuro tries to delay Yellow by imposing psychedelic imagery before pulling his laser pistol.

Standard: Daze against Yellow, DC13. Move: Draw pistol

I was more hoping for what kind of pistols. And I'll assume they are unmarked thugs.

As the fight seemed to continue unabated even after Isho shot into the air -I hope I didn't break a bulkhead way up above the park - he rolled his neck with a crack and stepped to the side to get a clear shot. He then leveled his pistol two-handed and squinted down the nubby iron sights and pulled the trigger.

Swift: None
Standard:

Joker, Still need your regular action from this round. I have your Attack of Opportunity, but not a regular action.

As the Blue thug pulls out his baton, Joker hits him a good one.

Data Z fires at Red just before Nalun lands a solid blow on him. The Red Thug is looking worse already. It might not be his lucky day.

Isho aims his pistol at one of the thugs and almost shoots himself in the foot it was such a bad shot. Pulsecaster Pistol. Somewhat common.

Yellow Thug: 1d20 ⇒ 13 The Yellow Thug shrugs off another one of the Dazing attacks.

Oops, sorry!

Joker turns to focus on the thug that first attacked Ceres. "Weren't you taught to respect your elders?" He changes his blade from hand to hand several times, trying to stab the thug when he least expects it.

Trying Trick Attack again, no move.

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 4 = 19

Attack (flat-footed if Trick Attack worked): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Damage: 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + (2) = 6 Ignore second d4 if Trick Attack didn't work

Joker manages to hit the Blue thug, ticking him in the act.

With that hit landing, it scares him and his fellow thugs take off in 3 different direction. Joker and Nalun, you have an AoO if you wish to take it.

Ceren comes up to Joker and bonks him in the head. "What took you so long?

After a few moments, Historia-7 comes and greets you. "Thank you Starfinders." she looked over you group. "Who was it that broke into the data-banks?

Nalun won't take the AoO

Nalun's Solar Sword disappears and his mote soon dims to near invisibility.

You are most welcome. Tell us, do we know who these toughs were, or who sent them?

Joker tries a last move before the thugs flee, in case he can knock out one of them to be interrogated.

AoO vs Yellow 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage 1d4 ⇒ 3

Joker managed to land a blow on one of the fleeing Thugs, But he was not able to knock him down.

Upon hearing Nalun's question Historia-7 turned to him. "We believe it might have been the company that she broke into. But we are unsure." turning back to the rest of the group. "That being said, we have finished the preparation work that you started and are ready to move Ceren and her son to a safe place. Thank you Starfinders for your help. Historia-7 walks away with Ceren in tow.

You started to head to your last mission when a small droid approached your group. [b]"Greetings Starfinders. Historia-7 has sent me to give you this." It's compartment opens up and inside you see A Standard Datajack and card with 200 credits on it.

A simple electronic has a message from Historia-7 The Datajack is a token of thanks from the Dataphiles. Good work Starfinders.

The last thing in the box is a rifle, Don't know how you missed it until now, but there it sits. It also has a note, but this one is from Jubair. Found this while packing. Don't let the Creep shoot himself in the foot with it.

After the droid leaves, you continue on your journey to meet up with Zigvigix and learn his mission.

Garbage litters the ground around the district’s largest art park—a cement lot filled with undulating metal sculptures and covered in graffiti of grotesquely adorable creatures. The sounds of music and chatter drift over from the nearby clubs, chronically interrupted by the roar of the local gangsters’ engines. A heavily augmented host shirren is sitting on one of the park benches, eating a simple meal of cold grub-noodles and rice candy. Their antennae perk up at the tremor of approaching footsteps. “Welcome, new Starfinders! And congratulations!” the shirren’s voice telepathically projects. “My speech-name is Zigvigix, but feel free to call me Ziggy, if that would be easier for you. Have some rice candy to celebrate your graduation! Today is your big day!"

“When you are ready, I have two assignments I could use assistance with. The first is to help me secure a new headquarters on Absalom Station. I’ve been in talks with our station’s protectors, the Stewards, and they were kind enough to give us ownership of a warehouse here in Downlow for that purpose! The current owners no longer want it because a vicious alien took it over and kills anyone who goes inside. Once the alien is gone and the warehouse cargo has been returned to its owners, we can start installing desks and computers, so please go in and incinerate the creature!
“My second assignment...” Zigvigix twitches their tooth barbs for a moment and then holds out a credstick. “Please buy the brand-new Strawberry Machine Cake album, Star Sugar Heartlove!!!, which is out today, and give it to Historia-7 when you see her. She is the head of the Dataphiles, so you should meet her today! I wish to do it myself, but I... I have trouble standing for long periods of time. Thank you very much!”

Feeling a kind of simpathy for the droid, maybe due to being vaguely related, Joker nods. "Don't worry, it's as good as done."

A dangerous Alien where there was none before requires an adjustment to the Balance. This I can attend to Nalun says and then he as a quizzical look on his face ...an...Album?

When all three of the thugs suddenly ran off, Isho lowered his lizardstopper and nodded to himself. Damn straight they're scared.

The fact that Historia-7 walked up moments after the thugs ran was suspicious though, as was the way she swept through and spirited away with the old hacker and her grandkid. One moment they were in a firefight and people were bashing each other with batons, the next he and the other fresh Starfinders were standing in the park all alone.

Was this what life was like in the Starfinders?

He was about to suggest that maybe he and the others should clear out before a Warden or station security came to check out the noise, but it seemed the group was already moving on so he trailed behind. When the trundling little robot showed up, Isho waited for the others to finish with it before stepping forward to read the note without being rushed or bumped.

"Huh, that's pretty handy," he said, looking at the datajack. The rifle was pretty neat too, but that datajack... "Anyone else interested in this, or could I take it? It would've made all that hacking I did for the old lady so much easier."

Isho takes the Datajack unless someone else wants it too, in which case they can talk.

In the art park, Isho sniffed at the air from under his white mask at the smell of the various street food vendors. When they approached the modified Shirren, Isho was a little surprised that such a being was in charge of a Starfinder faction, but as they addressed the group they seemed quite amiable. Cupping his hands together, Isho moved forward to accept the offer of some grub candy. "Thank you for the offer, Master Zigvigix ."

Listening to the two assignments Ziggy had for them, Isho munched on the rice candy and nodded. The strange harpoon-shooting alien! He'd known as soon as he heard about it that was going to come up. He was a little more surprised by the second. "Did... did you say Strawberry Machine Cake!? They're my favorite! Why would you want to give it to Historia-7? She seems like more of an Eoxian-Ikeshti Fusion Death Rock person to me."

Osuro starts to comment about the record after Nalun's question, but giggles slightly instead at Isho's reaction. "I think we can acquire the album for you soon enough. We won't be able to deliver it until after we handle the creature anyway, I think." he broadcasts to the group.

Who's gonna claim the rifle? I think we're going to want that in use during this fight. Osuro's NOT proficient with long arms.

Zigvigix nods his insectoid head and replies to Nalun's quesion. "Yes, the hostile alien is a creature known as a feather stalker. It's a predator far more unpleasant than it's name implies. As far as we know, the two-bit crime lord illegally imported the creature and it... ate him." after that sinks in, he continues to wait for other quesions.

Zigvigix looks a little bit down, if you could really tell on an insectoids face, as Isho brings up the reason for the Strawberry Machine Cake. "Yes, Historia-7 has been a little down after losing her mentor in the Scoured Stars. We are hoping that the sugar pop music can cheer her up. The band's music always make us feel better. he goes on, almost gushing with the emotions he's feeling from just talking about the band.

Will you go out of your way and buy this CD for the nice bug? That is up to you to decide. More Coming your way soon. Enjoy your turkey and time with your family. If you're like me, you'll be watching bad movies while sitting at home alone in Japan. :p

sense motive: -2 + 1d20 ⇒ -2 + (8) = 6 Didn't think so either, would need a 19 out of 20 to accomplish that. Being as the Android he is, he sense no motives from Zig.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Life Science for Feather Stalker: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Isho cocks his head slightly as Zigvigix mentions the incident that had opened up the Starfinder Society training facilities to people such as him in the first place. Sure, the Universe probably would have provided a way for him anyways, but the Scoured Stars had been big news. Really big news.

Something about the way the Shirren was talking, the way they were so polite despite their position, and concerned about their fellows, was ingratiating. Isho felt like the Shirren could use a hug, if it wasn't for the fact that hugging was against Isho's religion. Also, it was probably against proper protocol.

"Well, I'm all for getting both of these things done. What do you say, team? I'll stand in that line if you wanna go take on that tiny beastie - or you could wait for me. Up to you."

If I'm keeping track, current loot payout in pure credits should be 120 credits, so if no one else wants to chip in I'll pay for a copy of SMC for the mission, and one for Ziggy there. If someone else chips in on the mission one I'll buy myself one too.

Sense Motvie: 1d20 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (19) + 4 + (4) = 27
Life Science about Feather Stalker: 1d20 + 6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 5 = 17

"Let's figure out what we know about this 'Feather Stalker' first, so we can form a strategy of some sort. I already indicated the album will happen, just not first. We should handle the threat first."

I figured the album cost (plot) would come out of the cash earned before it gets divided.

Isho didn't specify, so, if either of us got bonus info, I would like one of us to have attacks and the other defenses. Not that I think we did. But I would like . . ..

Joker nods. "I already said I'm in, so I'm in. The order in which we do this is of no importance to me - I let you choose."

I take it that you guys went to get the limited edition holo-projector of Strawberry Machine Cake. In which case, I need you all to make a 12 fort save or be Fatigued then a 11 Reflex save to avoid taking 1d4 ⇒ 1 damage by being trampled.

When you get to the front of the line, you can see a fantastic display put on by the shopkeeper. With the idol group's photo, moving, fully on display. Some people that you've passed might or might not have been completely too old for this band, but you're not one to judge... too much. The shopkeeper looks at you. "Greetings, as you can see on the sign, one copy is 50c. How many would you like to purchase?"

Fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Ref: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Even though Joker is slow due to the fatigue, he manages to use his elbows to avoid the worse of the crowd.

As to the question of the shop-assistant, he stays mute. He would surely buy some spare copies just in case, but his own economy is not specially prolific to afford that.

Got 50c to spend, if we agree on buying several copies.

Don't forget that you do have money from this adventure that will be gone once it's over.

Fort dc12: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Ref dc11: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Nalun is jostled and banged around a bit by the crowd.

All this. For an album...

Fort Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Ref Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Somehow Isho managed to convince his companions that they needed to get in line prior to going and clearing out the warehouse. Some combination of 'Do you want to stand in an extra-long line after fighting a terrible beast' and 'it might be sold out' and 'As your medic I prescribe Strawberry Machine Cake twice daily' seemed to do the trick.

The line itself was a bit of an ordeal, though his excitement kept it from being to draining and he managed to avoid contact with the various other fans who seemed to desperately be trying to make the line as gross as possible by touching, dancing and occasionally attempting to stampede their way through the front of the store.

Once inside, Isho stepped up onto the little pedestal at the cashier specifically designed to allow shorter races to see over the counter. "We'll take three," he said. "Could you wrap two up as gifts please? That would be great.' Taking some of the credits they had earned to pay for the super-special holo editions might have seemed frivolous to some of his compatriots, but he knew it was worth it. The irony that they were purchasing that fogey Historia-7 a copy with her own money had a delicious lick of irony though.

Loading his newly purchased album into his rig, he smiled to himself under his bone-white plastic mask. Battle music.

After a long wait, you were able to get three copies of the holoprojector. Returning to Zigvigix to give him Historica-7's copy of the holoprojector program. "Thank you Starfinders. I am sure Historica-7 will love this." you can see that he's happy for her, but there is something more.

Fort: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Ref: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 4 + (1) = 13

Wow, the dice are really hating on me. Fatigued. Hurt. Clueless.

Could be worse. That couldn't have been a reflex for a fall of 100 feet.

missed the fact that it was all of us, making the save, not just Isho and Osuro
fort: 0 + 1d20 ⇒ 0 + (6) = 6 tired
reflex: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (10) = 12 dodged
sense motive: -2 + 1d20 ⇒ -2 + (11) = 9 being an android.

SM: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Nalun doesn't catch on to the Shirren's mild disappointment.

"Oh, but Master Zigvigix, that's not all," Isho said, then produced both his tablet rig and the other giftwrapped copy of Strawberry Machine Cake. Pressing 'Play' on the rig, it started playing the first song on the album as he handed the copy to the Shirren. "No true fan should miss out on a release. Maybe this can help you when you're trying to decorate your new offices - which we should probably be getting to."

I did say purchase three - one for Historia, one for Ziggy and for me, because why not. We lose the cash anyways.

I'll accept that.

Ziggy lights up when Isho hands him his own copy of the holoprogram. "vix'koz miy'o laupasu'" he says in his own language before replying again in common. "Thank you very much... Wait here." he quickly goes into the back and comes back out with something draped across his shoulders. "This should help you guys." he hands you, Isho, a Charge Cloak.

Any last prep that you need while you are heading to the warehouse. Sorry, but you can't rest.

Joker is happy to see Ziggy happy. It's always good to see good people happy.

But now it's time for mayhem.

"Alright, guys, let's do this. But relaxed, please... all these people was too much for me..."

Nalun is ready to proceed.

I'm ready when you all are.

"I don't know that I'm ready, but we can't leave that beast free for long."

The doors to the warehouse were forced open and no longer lock. As you enter, you notice that the warehouse ceiling is 30 feet high, and a catwalk runs 15 feet above the floor. The crates and vehicle are approximately 5 feet tall, while the cylindrical containers and the crate-filled scaffolding are 10 feet tall.

Action: 1. Climbing the crates and scaffolding. DC 10 Athletics Check. 2. Searching the crates for useful items. DC 12 Perception (1 success per player.)

Plot out your next 4 rounds worth of movement. Searches don't count for moves. Use colors unique to your character/familiar. Unless you share sight with your familiar, I need Perception checks whenever you come within 5 feet of one of the blue rings.
