GD VII: Redelia's Scoured Stars Invasion (SFS, tier 5-6) (Inactive)

Game Master Redelia

as basically a white dot I'm rather worried about that...

completely mechanically useless cookie points to Justin for making the GM laugh...

Haha, Justin ^_^

Reynold gestures at the virtual robot with his pistol. "Hurry up and get it!" he shouts, firing at a visible weak point.

Move action get 'em, standard clever attack.

Bluff (expertise): 1d20 + 16 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 16 + (6) + 1 = 29
Attack vs. EAC (flat-footed, get 'em): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 19
Damage (E, vulnerable): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"On it!"

Grav draws his doshko while moving around the south side of the robot and swinging hard at any vulnerable area he might see

Ghost killer defiant anchoring shock doshko, advanced: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 1 = 30
Half Piercing, Half Electric Damage: 2d12 + 15 ⇒ (12, 11) + 15 = 38

"Bad robot!"

Tolar moves into flank provoking an aoo.

Longsword, Sintered vs KAC: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 26
half electrical half slashing: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (4, 2) + 15 = 21

Tolar, you should be good against an AoO since the robot hasn't acted yet

Can someone please bot Keskodai? Because spells used up here are not used in reality, don't be afraid to use somewhat precious resources.

Beep beep beep

Keskodai bot.

"See son this is how you fight a battle, from the back..."

Keskodai bot will move there and haste himself Tolar and Grav

Grav, if you remove an attack for that reason, please delete it. I used the d20 from that roll instead on the next attack.

The creature reels from the destruction raining down on it, and tries to step back slightly to shoot. However, this is just another opportunity for more damage to slam into him, and he falls over, slain.

Defeating Jodain releases the Starfinders from the virtual world. Shortly after, they wake up inside their the stasis chambers. All of the trapped Starfinders you talked to aree xtremely grateful for your assistance. Historia-6 quickly disconnects from the pod and hurries to reconnect with
Historia-7 and the greater Starfinder fleet.

As the rejoicing begins, one of the Starfinder data technicians shouts an alarm. (What do you want to do for two prep rounds? I'll get a map up in just a minute.)

Justin glugs his virtual serum of sex shift on the way out

"FOR SCIENCE!"

There's almost no discernible change.

With his prep round back in reality Justin will summon a dust devil

"Whats wrong? Are we being invaded by Jinsul, or did that program follow us back and merge the stasis tanks into a giant transforming robot? "

Tolar has his Thunderstrike in 2 hands, sword in a 3rd, and a grenade in a 4th.

"Who is the enemy? Where are they coming from?"

If given a general idea of a direction Tolar will move to surprise them.

"wait, guys, how do we know we're ACTUALLY out of VR... maybe we're still trapped there... OH NO, IT'S HAPPENING. WE'LL BE STUCK IN HERE FOREVER. I *KNEW* THIS WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA..."

Grav spends his first round disbelieving and reacting to reality

Grav spends his second round checking over himself and poking and prodding Justin to see if he seems "real"

"Ow hey...we'll see who owes who a drink later we're a little busy...

"However you decide who owes who, please don't do it in front of Chk Chk" He'd wink if he had eyelids, so it only looks like his head is twitching to the right.

After hearing the techie's alert, he casts Haste on the members of the crew, and is prepared to cast Hold Person when a target runs though the door.

The technicians dive for places to hide. The shirren technician who has been watching Chk Chk takes the baby shirren with to his hiding place, after gesturing to Keskodai that Chk Chk will be OK while Keskodai helps deal with the invaders.

OK, the enemies are on the map. Those of you who have only taken one round of prep can take one more, and know the general direction of the enemy. You do not know their exact position, so you cannot attack them until after initiative is rolled.

Since we are already paused while waiting for you to post about something else, you may each also roll your own initiative.

initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Justin is fine with one round of prep. gotta save those spells

"Nudity taboos Chk chk? Really? What kind of backwards ideas are you passing on there...I blame your lack of fur. Makes you feel exposed all the time."

Tolar will move a bit closer to the indicated direction.

"If there are several of them then hang back for a moment or two. And don't worry, None of my weapons will hurt the lab."

"I hope."

initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

For his prep, Reynold positions himself toward the rear of the group, armed with his static arc pistol in one hand and a frag grenade in the other. "Open season, folks! Let's go save our people."

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
They don't look humanoid, Hold Person will not be an adequate spell.

"Aye, aye, capt'n"

Grav init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
leader init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
terminator init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Several creatures who can only be Jinsuls burst in, ready to fight.
bold may post:
Tolar
Grav
Justin
leader
Keskodai
Reynold
terminators

" Am I the only one So.. so disappointed that its not a combining stasis pod mecha?.. Hey, look. You guys want us gone just let us grab ALL the starfinders and we'd happily leave "

Justin has more empirical evidence than he'd like that people are only rarely willing to listen to reason after they've had their butts kicked and almost never before, so he? proceeds with the but kicking. He makes a sound like blowing wind to his summoned minion and it darts around the room and comes up behind the Jinsuls.

Air Elemental Swipes at AC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Air Elementals is EAC 12; KAC 13 HP 20

His eyes go black with pinpoints of light and he flicks his tail, sending three packets of quantum energy At the one in front

magic missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 2) + 3 = 8

"I'd LIKE a couple of these alive but I'm not going to get hurt trying to do that. "

The air elemental smacks into blue hard, doing noticable damage.
Justin's little pellets of energy smack into green.

status: green -8, blue -10

"Perfect."

As a full action Tolar steadies his weapon and fires at all 3 enemies.

Sonic Screamer vs green's EAC: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 - 2 = 21
sonic: 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Sonic Screamer vs red's EAC: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 2 = 20
sonic: 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Sonic Screamer vs blue's EAC: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 2 = 28
sonic: 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Grav will charge forward at the closest Jinsul still standing (looks like green currently) and will attempt to make him regret his life choices bringing him to this point.

Ghost killer defiant anchoring doshko, advanced: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30 vs. KAC
P damage: 2d12 + 15 ⇒ (12, 7) + 15 = 34

The damage begins to rain down on the Jinsuls.
status: green -55, blue -31, red -18

The leader bites at Grav in retaliation.
attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Reynold and Keskodai are up!

botting Reynold's usual action:
Move action get 'em, standard clever attack on blue.
Bluff (expertise): 1d20 + 16 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 16 + (3) + 1 = 34
Attack vs. EAC (flat-footed, get 'em): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 17
Damage (E): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Usually I don't like using valuable resources when I bot, but I really want you guys to be able to get this success in, so I'm going to use one of Keskodai's best spell slots.

Keskodai tries to slam into the leader's mind.
mind thrust III damage: 7d10 ⇒ (9, 8, 2, 5, 6, 4, 1) = 35

will save, DC 20: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

The leader crumples from the force of Keskodai's attack on his mind.

The green follower is wobbling and almost falling over.
status: blue -39, red -18

The two remaining jinsuls move forward and try to bite at Tolar and Grav.

Mr. Windy gets an AoO if he is able to take one.

red's attack on Grav: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

blue's attack on Tolar, if he gets there safely: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
nope.

OK, the entire party is up. Mr. Windy gets a possible AoO on blue, as does Tolar if he still has his reach weapon in hand. If either of these hit, he will go down, don't bother rolling damage.

Thanks for the bot, I'm trying to touch base when possible but it's tough now that school's started up again. Couldn't have asked for a better turn.

OK since Blue seems like a weeble ready to fall over, I'll focus Red to keep softening him up

Grav takes a guarded step to the side hopefully opening up Tolar to make another blast, and lays into him with his doshko before headbutting him

Ghost killer defiant anchoring doshko, advanced: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 13 - 4 = 23 vs. KAC
P damage: 2d12 + 15 ⇒ (2, 6) + 15 = 23
Gore: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 12 - 4 = 26
B damage: 1d3 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

Red falls over with a sound of a cracking exoskeleton as Grav first smashes and then gores him.

Mr. Wind's AoO: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Blue was not even able to get over to attack Tolar. Mr. Windy slew him when he tried to move away.

Chk Chk is returned by the Shirren tech, having carefully observed everything that just happened.

You report to Fitch for your next mission.

Fitch waits in the hangar bay. "We’re in a bit of a hurry, and I only have a few minutes before my children realize I’ve snuck away! Our agents recovered a beacon with important data about a Starfinder outpost on Agillae-1. Not long ago, our ships started receiving emergency signals from that planet, and all the messages basically say 'we’re under attack.' It’s some kind of carnivorous creatures native to the planet, but that’s all we know. Your ship is ready—so please grab your weapons and hurry. And good luck!"

Fitch points out a suitable landing spot for your landing craft not far from the outpost. You are able to land there with no problem. When you approach the outpost on foot, you see many strange plant creatures fighting a smaller number of Starfinders in the distance.

The squares with lava in them are difficult terrain, and you will take damage if you enter them.

initiative:
Tolar
plant creatures
Reynold
Keskodai
Justin
Grav

Tolar is up first.

Tolar did not have a reach weapon in hand.

Tolar stows his grenade and returns the fancy new blade with plans to buy one for himself soon.

"Did they have any good guns on them?"

2 ifrit-class flame throwers, a red star plasma rifle with 2 high-capacity batteries (40 charges each), and a cryo grenade I

Tolar makes sure his suit protection is active. Loadout is Thunderstrike and his pike.

Seeing the plant creatures are hostile he moves up and attacks.

pike vs KAC: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
piercing/holy: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

aoo if needed: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
piercing/holy: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

Tolar's swing is unable to hit the fierce plant.
The plant retaliated by trying to slam into Tolar.
Tolar swings again as the creature approaches, and still is unable to pierce it.

plant slam attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24
damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 6) + 12 = 21
However, Tolar seems to somehow resist part of the damage.

The other plant creature also wanders over to slam into Tolar.
attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 6) + 12 = 19
He is unable to hit, however.

plant creatures

Justin will fly over and wait for Grav (whoops) to get closer, then haste himself Tolar, grav, tolar and four of the starfinders

"Starfinder Refugees, Please step away from the plant monsters in a calm and orderly fashion... "

"Grav charges over one of the lava puddles headlong into the plant creature with his doshkoNo penalty for charging and can charge over difficult terrain

Ghost killer defiant anchoring doshko, advanced: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 vs. KAC
P Damage: 2d12 + 15 ⇒ (6, 1) + 15 = 22

I'll go ahead and use my promotional shirt reroll on that attack (with +1 nova)

Ghost killer defiant anchoring doshko, advanced: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 1 = 25 vs. KAC
P Damage: 2d12 + 15 ⇒ (5, 2) + 15 = 22

SMACK!

Reynold rounds the lava pool to get a better angle on the plant, then fires off a trick shot.

Move to square, standard clever attack.

Bluff: 1d20 + 16 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 16 + (3) + 1 = 31
Attack vs. EAC (flat-footed): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 = 22
Damage (E): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Justins going to use his Field trainee Ally boon

A small mouse with a rifle bigger than he is pops his head out of justins bag of holding and fires wildly in Tolars Direction "MHAhahahahHAHAHAHA IIMMA STARFINDER!

with more gusto than effect i'm afraid

cover fire: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

on a 15 plus Tolar will gain +2 AC

"Wha.. KIRKATH...how did you get in there?!?!!?

Keskodai moves before casting Telekinetic Projectile and flings a rock towards the closest plant-life creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

The rock flies away.

You're in normal gravity Keskodai, shoot lower!

Going to bed soon. So noting my actions now. Feel free to bot me if there is another turn, It should be simple since Tolar will pretty much always melee attack.

"Are these things sentient? If not are the edible?"

Tolar will move to flank with Grav then full attack.

Pike attack #1 vs KAC: 1d20 + 13 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 2 - 4 = 14
piercing/holy: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Pike attack #2 vs KAC: 1d20 + 13 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 2 - 4 = 29
piercing/holy: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

Grav and Reynold injure one of the clearly very hungry or angry plant creatures. Keskodai sends a rock flying towards the same creature, but it passes over its... head?

Just at that moment, a fierce, incredibly fast kasatha warrior arrives
and immediately kills one of the plant creatures with a heavy artillery
weapon. Before leaving, the kasatha says: "That’ll even the odds. Take
care of the rest of them and we’ll link up again." Then he disappears. As he leaves, Justin realizes that this is Jadnura, the lost First Seeker of the Starfinder Society.

round 2:
Tolar -15 SP
plant creature -28 HP
Reynold
Keskodai
Justin
Grav -10 SP

Tolar may post.

Tolar has headed to bed and pre botted his actions. He will draw the AOO for a flank and then full attack one miss and one hit for 20 points of damage

Justins going to fly around the far side of it then approach it, drawing the AoO for the meatshields and his survival knife to help with the flanks.

"BONZAIIIIiiIIIII"

Seems an appropriate battlecry for this battle

Then pumps two blasts of electricity into its face

Attack Vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Tolar the ninja!

The plant creature begins to heal itself before your eyes. It moves back to its comfortable attack range, drawing an AoO from Tolar and Grav. (another 39 damage)
Then it slams into Tolar.
attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25
