OMB's Scoured Stars Invasion!

Game Master James Martin

As he notices that the other ship used rockets, Dr. Kuong gets prepared to used the automated defenses to keep any rocket coming at their ship.

He quickly goes to the other console to work on diverting power to their shields.

Engineering Action Divert Power to Shields: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
DC should be 16 (10 +1.5xtier), so 8 pts should be back to our ship's shields

As the purple trimmed ship fcoots past, Viper 6 takes a shot at its aft!

Using duonode
Attack 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
Damage 3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 1) = 6

Wow, another spectacular roll...

"Perhaps I'll have better luck with the other ship."

Joven opens a hailing frequency to the 'orange' enemy ship. (Attempting the Taunt Capt. action via Intimidate skill.)

"Jinsul Craft! Power down now, or you will be obliterated! This is your only warning!"

Taunt: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Aiming again at the Purple ship, Dakka puts a bit of evidence behind Joven's taunt!
Particle Beam: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 Damage!: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 2) = 9\
"We'll show those Bastards for Messing with the Starfinders!"

The purple ship shakes and is venting atmo, and the orange ship seems to be hesitant from Joven's taunting! They both seem to be considering leaving the Pegasus alone and focusing on you!

ROUND 3:

Purple: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 - 2 = 23
Orange: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 - 2 = 14
Mobius Pilot: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

The purple and orange ships come about for a battle!

I should be back now. I'll go over the HP totals and revise as needed tomorrow, but I'm home after my funeral visit and feeling somewhat human.

Okay, HP totals good. I have achieved compliance. Your piloting phase is a go!

I'm putting us behind them. Mobius moves the Pegasus to face the aft side of the Jinsul starships. The orange ship is very visible on our front arc. We might need the turret to take care of the purple one. He tries to shake off the incoming attacks.

Evade, DC 18: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 1 = 16

Darn it! I can't get a clear view of their shots.

Since it seems that the ship is decent in shielding, he goes back to the science station to attempt to target the purple ship.

Computers to target Purple Ship: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20 +11 base +4 for ship's computer

The turrets seem to be the only weapons capable of hitting you!

Purple Turret: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 = 23 for 4d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 4) = 14 damage!
Orange Turret: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 for 4d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 3) = 12 damage!

Your Gunnery phase!

Viper shoots for the Orange ships aft!

Using duonode
Attack 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21
Damage 3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 2) = 5

With the computers locked onto the purple ship, Dakka tries to swivel the turret around, shooting at the back half of the Purple Craft.
Particle Beam: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 Damage!: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 6) = 13
Crit Damage!: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 4) = 12

Finding an opening, she shoots for an exposed Exhaust port!

The Purple ship suddenly lists sideways, its lights flickering!

The Orange craft rocks, but its shields absorb the hit.

HOWEVER, the Pegasus, forgotten by the assault craft, limps to the mother ship, and YOU WIN THIS ENCOUNTER! You bring your ship back in as the Orange assault ship peels off back toward the Jinsul lines!

Okay, you can continue with ship battle or go to hand-to-hand fighting! If you continue with the ship battle, you can claim a new ship, thus erasing all the damage the previous one took. Decide!

"We beat them in space, I'm more than happy to engage them hand to hand and pump them full of lead"

First vote for boarding

I'm OK with Boarding! Shoot while the Shooting is good!

Yay, lets go board!

I am fine with either...since there is 2 for boarding, might as well do that

SLIDE 22!

“Starfinders, our sensors show your carrier is in the midst of a jinsul boarding action. There’s likely to be fighting in every part of the ship, but it is important that you defend Deck 13. That area contains the ship’s bridge and all the most critical systems. Do not let them take over the bridge! Defend it at all costs!” The mechanical voice rings over your comms just before the klaxons go off, signaling a boarding action!

You are on the Bridge! Computer scans show they have entered through a boarding tube near the laboratory!

ROUND 1:
OAS-1 and Mobius, Dakka, Dr Kuong, Viper-6
JInsul Warriors and Mage
Joven!

OAS-1 and Mobius, Dakka, Dr Kuong, Viper-6 are go!

Viper moves up to a point where she can cover the coridor yet remain in cover firing around a corner.

"Wish we had a machine gun and grenades at a time like this"

Swiftly swinging out her Artillery Laser, Dakka sprints around the corner before taking aim from where she hears the boarders.

"Starfinder's are tougher than you'll ever be! Come Get Some!"

Move and Swift to get my laser ready, Readying for when I see the first bug I can shoot!

OAS-1 moves up to the corner to be able to see down the corridor and readies a shot for when they come into sight.

"Oh my this is quite the turn of events. This may be unwise on their part, as Starfinders are more than worthy opponents."

Draw my gun during my move action walking to the corner of the corridor. This using standard to ready an action to shoot when they are in line of sight.

Dr. Kuong goes behind his half-orc ally, pulling his acid dart rifles as he goes. He knows that any shot he has will have cover from his ally, but feels it is the best way to go....

The Jinsul Warriors move first, providing cover for the slightly more arcane looking Jinsul behind them. Readied actions go off! The bark and hiss of laser and projectile weapons fly through the air and the red-rimmed Jinsul warrior falls, but the other two warriors raise tactical arc emitters and fire! Tactical arc emitters are a blast weapon, dealing damage to all within 15' of the weapons!

JW blue vs Dakka EAC: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 2 = 27 and JW blue vs Viper-1 Eac: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 = 8 for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 electricity damage! Crit damage!: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

JW green vs Dakka EAC: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 2 = 22 and JW green vs Viper-6 EAC: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 - 2 = 15 for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 electricity damage!

The mage hisses words of techno-magic and two missiles of magic shoot toward Dakka, dealing 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 = 8 force damage!

Mobius and Joven for Round 1

Yowch! Well, that's what you keep me around for anyway!

Joven moves west 10', while drawing his Tactical Arc Pistol. Now just north of OAS-1, and attempting to keep the lane clear for the more experienced shooters, he shouts down to the Jinsul Warriors.

"Put down your weapons, and you will be spared! Your defeat is inevitable."

Attempting "Demoralize" - (Sub Action of Intimidate) on the 'Green' Jinsul Warrior.

Demoralize: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

... and then to his team while motioning toward the area to the north of them, "Viper - Kuong, make sure we have that corridor covered as well, they may try to flank us!"

The Jinsul don't appear to be intimidated!

ROUND 2:
OAS-1 and Mobius, Dakka, Dr Kuong, Viper-6
JInsul Warriors and Mage
Joven!

OAS-1 and Mobius, Dakka, Dr Kuong, Viper-6 are up!

Dr. Kuong looks back behind him to the north, not seeing anything he locks on Purple and takes a shot.

Acid Dart Rifle (KAC): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 to hit. Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Damage (4 Acid and 4 Piercing)

Mobius dashes forward, drawing his laser rifle in the process and takes a shot at the green creature.

Laser Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Fire Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

OAS-1 takes another shot aiming at the one directly in front of Dakka this time leveraging her Operative skills to make it a trick shot.

I shall advise you that it is in your best interest to leave.

Trick Attack Attempt: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
Semi Auto Pistol Shot to Hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 Damage w/ Trick Attack: 1d6 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (4) = 7

Your shots hit, but the single minded aliens march forward!

Dakka and Viper-6!

Seeing the corridor block off, Viper ducks forward to get a clear shot

Trick Shot.
Stealth 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 4 = 18 - Fail
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Viper's shot wings the green tinged Jinsul warrior. Dakka, feel free to jump in!

The Jinsul warriors stalk steadily forward! They drop their rifles and raise up to wield their vicious leg blades!

Blue vs Dakka KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 slashing damage!
Green vs OAS-1 KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 slashing damage!

The mage murmurs a few words of magic and three missiles of magic shoot at Dr. Kuong! Magic Missiles: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4, 1) + 3 = 11 damage!

Dakka and Joven for Round 2!

Carefully stepping backward, Dakka Near-point-blank points the barrel of her rifle at center of Jinsul Mass before squeezing off a shot!

Artillery Laser! (EAC): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"After we take one of those Frontliners out, I'll squeeze back to take out that Mage!"

With a bloody SPLOOSH, the green Jinsul Warrior explodes into goo!

Joven for Round 2, OAS-1 and Mobius, Dakka, Dr Kuong, Viper-6 for Round 3!

True to her word, Dakka squeezes through next to the other Jinsul Provoking an AoO before taking a shot at the Mage.
Artillery Laser! (EAC): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"After we take one of those Frontliners out, I'll squeeze back to take out that Mage!"

AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 slashing damage!

The mage topples over, his legs going akimbo!

One Jinsul warrior remains! Joven for Round 2, OAS-1 and Mobius, Dr Kuong, Viper-6 for Round 3!

Viper maintains her point of aim, but struggles to pick a time when the creature is distracted...

Trick Shot.
Stealth 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 4 = 17 - Fail
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The Jinsul grunts with pain as Viper hits it with her shot!

Joven for Round 2, OAS-1, Mobius, Dr Kuong for Round 3!

Mobius orders his exocortex to track the remaining jinsul. He aims and fires.

Laser Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Fire Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Shuddering from the magic missiles, Dr. Kuong falters a step...then straightens back up.

Looking behind him to make sure nothing is sneaking up on them, he locks onto the last warrior with his exocotex and fires.

Acid Dart Rifle (KAC): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 to hit. Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Damage (5 Acid and 4 Piercing)

Because of the cover his allies are giving the enemy, Dr. Kuong aims to high and the acid dart hits the wall and makes a nice acid pit where it struck.

Mobius hits the Jinsul, while Dr Kuong misses in the close combat!

The Jinsul slashes out at OAS-1! Attack vs OAS-1 KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 damage!

ROUND 4:
OAS-1 and Mobius, Dakka, Dr Kuong, Viper-6
JInsul Warriors and Mage
Joven!

Joven is up for Round 3, OAS-1 and Mobius, Dakka, Dr Kuong, Viper-6 for Round 4!

"Die already!"

Trick Shot.
Stealth 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 4 = 23 (Possible! if Cr3 or less!)
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 vs FF AC
Damage 1d6 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (5) + 1 + (7) = 13

Viper-6's shot takes the Jinsul in the throat (well, throat-ish) area and it falls, leaking green blood!

VICTORY!

Jadnura, the previous First Speaker's voice echoes over the comms! “You fought well, but it’s not over yet—a jinsul commander along with an elite cadre of their soldiers has just boarded your ship. You’ll need to defeat this potent foe and continue to defend the bridge. We’re almost ready to escape the Scoured Stars and just need you to buy us a little more time. Show no mercy, show no fear—everything depends on you!”

Round 1:

OAS-1 and Mobius, Dakka, Dr Kuong, Viper-6
Jinsul Terminator, Warrior and Dark Apprentice!
Joven!

We'll start with them coming 'round the corner, just to avoid wasted time! OAS-1 and Mobius, Dakka, Dr Kuong, Viper-6 are up! One of the Jinsul looks like its fellow that you previous fought, but the Blue rimmed one has a flame thrower! The fellow in the back has glowing armor!

In the heat of battle, Dr. Kuong hears more feet. Making sure they are coming from behind him, he looks back. Seeing nobody, he moves to put his back to a wall and looks back forward as Viper-6's shot kills the "last" Jinsul....at least until another wave comes running up.

"More incoming from your area...behind us still looks good...hold the line."

He takes a quick shot at the one with the flamethrower....

Acid Dart Rifle (KAC): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 to hit. Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Damage (3 Acid and 2 Piercing)

A Flame thrower you say...
Dakka's eyes get wide seeing the Flame Thrower in the opponent's hands.
"Is that an Ifrit Class Flame Thrower? With enhanced spread attachments? I've had my eye on one of those."

Taking careful aim at the more Well Equipped JinSul, Dakka takes aim to fell the warrior, without damaging the Flamethrower.

Artillery Laser! (EAC): 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 4 = 26 Fire Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Artillery Laser! (EAC): 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 4 = 22 Fire Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Full attack with the Laser, 2 shots remaining before Reload!

"It has the Drake-package with chrome receivers.." fangirls the proud Jinsul, until the artillery laser hits him, followed by an acidic dart to the face!

OAS-1, Mobius and Viper 6 are up!

Viper is less happy about flamethrowers, especially as everyone has all converged up and the Starfinders are now prime targets for area or line spray weapons...

Shooting at Blue
Trick Shot.
Stealth 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 4 = 28
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 vs FF AC
Damage 1d6 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (4) = 8

Let me queue up my action so I don't miss a round like yesterday. (Sorry end of quarter and really busy at work) When it's my turn I will do a full attack, or if something has moved close to me and I would provoke an AOO, then i'll take a guarded step to try and get the best shot with the fewest cover penalties and take a single shot.

Range attack with Static Arc Pistol - EAC (DamageType: E)

Haha! You kidding me with those rolls?! haha

Mobius now commands his exocortex to track the flamethrower-wielding jinsul and fires another shot from his laser.

Laser Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
