Data move just behind Friye perception: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Data move just behind Friye perception: 1d20 ⇒ 6

As you move into the ruins, two things happen. First, you are close enough to see that the object at the base of the spires appears to be several humanoids clustered together. Secondly, a pair of laser beams flicker down the length of the canyon. One striking Kitty as the robot ambled forward, and one taking Friye in the shoulder. Her suit pumped gel sealants into the tear, preventing the poisonous atmosphere from penetrating too far.

Te is quick to react to the snipers, while everyone else seems to move in slow motion.

Combat time!

Friye SP 0/6 HP 7/10 RP 4/4, Kitty HP 6/10

Looking into the distance, Te tries to ascertain how far the targets are that are shooting at them. When he can't place it at several hundred feet he sucks in a breath and shouts, "Take cover behind the ruins and spire if you can! I'm moving up!"

With that he starts sprinting ahead eventually breaking into a full run towards the spires ahead.

Damn! Why didn't I pick up that rifle I've been eyeing for so long!

Laser beams stiched the ground around Te as he ran. A pair of blasts caught him full in the torso and nearly sent him spinning to the ground.

Ouch. Can't wait for the Impex punchline >.>

Data moves up and seeks total cover, as close as he can get without leaving the cover this round.

Can't access Roll20 at the moment. Could someone move me into cover with Data, please?

Gamuzali rushes toward cover as well, drawing his pistol at the same time as his solar mote falls like a bead of oil and begins to spread pure darkness across his entire body, except for two, gleaming yellow eyes.

Move action to get to cover, move action to activate solar armor.

//just letting you know I won’t have access to a computer with roll20 on it for at least another 30 hours since I’m not actually home tonight. I have no idea what’s going on cause I can’t see the map. So please could you update my positioning for me and let me know what’s up.

For the moment, Impex follows her parties leads and runs to full cover while we assess the situation.

Puffing from the sprint she just did she sits beside Ta and pretends to be hurt too. “Are you okay there, my lashunta friend? Where did they get you? Was it in ... ta...head? Are you okay? Are you...ta...hurt?”

She takes our her sniper rifle.

Friye takes total cover and directs Kitty to find the Bad Shooter Guy.

Kitty Move+Cover

Kitty Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4

Everyone stay under total cover, I have a plan. I can create ghost sounds as can-trips, can anyone else create false images as well? Their sniper weapons have to have limited ammunition, if we can get them to waste all their ammunition on false images and sounds, we can get closer. Most sniper weapons hold at most 6 rounds, so we do this stunt for six rounds straight Of course Data says this in a low voice.
Have you ever seen Last of the Jedi? This trick worked in that movie. Not going to say any more cause movie spoilers.

//lol, I love this plan. Also, I over myself (somehow) in my phone. My my vision is limited. I now at least have a rough idea on what he map looks like hehe.

Friye's response comes directly into the heads of all party members within 30 feet of her.

I can create some small diversionary rockslides nearby to help.

Friye I have an idea, I have ghost sound, you have psychokinetic hand right? You make the hand hold a small weapon and hold it there, preferably a pistol, and I create a ghost sound where that weapon is. They will think they are shooting at an invisible creature. In Pathfinder, mage hand was invisible, it does not say psychokinetic hand is or isn't, though I'm going to assume it works similar

Impexs unenthusiastic voice echoes in everyone’s cinders also.

“I mean, I could also create a distraction. But I wouldn’t want to ...drop...the mic.”

Waiting for definitive actions from Te for Round 2.

"Afraid I won't be much help with diversions," Gamuzali replies to Data's suggested plan, "But I like the idea. One small addition, though, when we do seem to have them low on ammunition, let me lead the charge up and keep some distance behind me. I can go nova and catch multiple foes in my radius if I can avoid blasting you all."

No argument from me, Gamuzali.

Friye readies her pistol for the diversion. No combat action, just flavor.

Botting Te as per his instructions

Everyone dove for cover, and plans for the future were shouted on the comm systems. Te, caught in the open and bleeding badly, moved quickly to the cover of the nearest spire, where laser blasts splashed the stones around him. Kitty wasn't so lucky, and a squeal pierced the air as the drone was shot!

Kitty, No!, Friye cries out as her beloved drone becomes a smoking heap of parts.

No mercy for whoever this is.

Friye focuses her mind and makes her pulsecaster pistol float out from cover as if being held by an invisible person.

Psychokinetic hand.

Data creates a convincing ghost sound just a few inches above the floating pistol to approximately where he thinks the head would be on a person. Hey punks, you can't hit me! as the ghost sound shouts approximately 1500 decibels worth of sound, if he can't create words, he will at least make it shout. They do get a will save dc 13 to disbelieve this

As lasers crash all around him Te sighs heavily Oh sure. Lashunta gets shot to shit and bleeds everywhere, and I get the comedian making jokes as I bleed out. Robot gets blown up and it warrants a death cry from the fellow lashunta. What's this world coming to?

Te looks down at his bloodied body before shooting Impex an incredulous look. "No I'm not ok! Do you see all the blood?!"

@Data - Fun fact, decibels are a logarithmic metric. A marching band of 200 members would be about 130 db. A Metallica concert measured at the speakers is no more than 140 db. 150db can break glass and cause permanent hearing damage. A jet taking off, at the engines is about 160 db, and human eardrums rupture at about 200 db. That said, the max volume of ghost sound would be around 100 db.

“So, can anyone spot the sniper? Anyone have any ideas on what to do? Or do we just sit here...like...sitting ducks...?”

Gamuzali double moves up from one cover position to another, heading further and further toward the front, until he is up with Data, taking full cover behind the rocks near the front. "So now, we just wait, right? This should be interesting."

Double move (though I still can't move my token on Roll20).
Photon attuned 2: +1 insight bonus to damage rolls

Is Impex going to do anything? Or just made bad jokes?

Perception checks to spot the sniper

Data tried to make some loud yelling sound emanate from where Friye was waving the pistol around in the air, but the laser blasts converged on the spot where Gamuzali sprinted for cover. Fortunately the vesk managed to get behind a solid wall and the blasts merely tore chunks out of the old masonry.

Gamuzali ventures a peek over the edge of the ruins to see if he can spot where the attacks are coming from.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 15

He remains in total cover and allows his focus to be completely absorbed in the light of the universe, channeling it into himself and letting it surround him in a protective barrier.

Fully photon attuned: +1 insight bonus to damage rolls, ready to discharge Supernova stellar revelation.

Data doublemoves forward as he sprints and then dives down to drop prone to his stomach Since ranged weapons take a penalty against prone targets.
perception: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Friye stays behind full cover and scans for their hidden sniper.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Impex tried to peek around and take a look for their attacker.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Hiding behind cover and trying to avoid taking laser blasts to the face made it difficult to spot snipers. Thus, it was only Impex that managed to see the creatures shooting at you. There were two of them, and they were on terraces at the far end of the canyon, some 500 feet or more from the ruins. laser fire splattered around Data as the android ran for the pillars, sliding in beside Te. The android seemed a little surprise not to have been shot at all.

Data doublemoves while looking for full cover.

Te is in bad shape, riddled with wounds from his attempt to burst towards the snipers. He watches incredulously as data makes the same dash but luckily isn't struck. He waves him on with, "Go, go, go!"

He pulls out his serum of healing and quickly administers it to himself, instantly feeling better and masking his near death.

1d8 ⇒ 7

All right, you can do this.

Friye takes a quick glance at the smoking ruins of Kitty and gathers her courage.

They're going to pay for this.

She Double moves closer, watching for Full cover.

With the enemy finally in sight, Gamuzali moves as quickly as he can to close the distance between them.

Run action to move quadruple speed and take full cover behind the red pillar near Te.

Impex double moves closer.

(Can someone please move me...)!

Ugh, yesterday's post got eaten

Everyone sprints forward, looking for cover. Impex is the one caught out this time. Laser blasts explode around the wishful comedian and one catches him in the leg.

As the serum takes hold and repairs his body, Te gets back to running again and bolts forward once more as he tries to close the distance to the snipers. Using the spires for cover he advances with the rest of his team. Double move forward using the spires for cover.

Friye continues to Double move toward the snipers.

Data doublemoves closer while staying behind full cover. Moved myself 10.5 squares of movement, if I could not have moved there while breaking full cover, then feel free to place wherever you'd like without me breaking full cover.

Impex rushes towards cover, liking her wounds.

“I’ve been shot guys. I don’t think I can make it. Go on without me...”

Gamuzali hustles around the rock and takes up a defensive position beside Te. "Are we getting any closer? Seems like they're still miles off at this point," he growls as he crouches down next to the lashunta.

Double move into full cover next to Te.

Blaster fire splashed into the rocks as everyone ran forward under cover. Te moved up by the pile of bodies of the security personnel, his eyes catching signs of the vibration sensors at the last moment. He threw himself to the ground as the booby-trapped corpses exploded in a ball of heat and debris, avoiding the damage, but not avoiding the rain of gore that fell down around him. Data, taking the lead, was now a mere 200 feet from the attackers, and could see their large forms huddled behind minimal cover. It looked like the creatures were using the scant rocks on the terrace more for stabilization than for the meager cover they could provide.

Gamuzali shouts in alarm as the heap of bodies explode and nearly make a corpse of Te. "You alright," he shouts to the operative as he dives for cover. When Gamuzali sees Te effortlessly recover from the blast, though, he turns his focus back to the task at hand advances up to more cover.

Double move up to the furthest rock he can reach and stay in full cover.

Friye moves up cautiously, seeking full cover.

As bodies explode around, Te unleashes a litany of curses as he spits out what he can only assume was once someones pancreas. He checks his own body parts with his to make sure all of him is still here. Wiping the gore from his face, he shouts to Gamuzali "PERFECT!"

As the vesk begins to move up, Te drops in beside him and advances as well. Double move up and continue to attempt to simultaneously take cover and attract attention of everything that can possibly go wrong.

Data moves even closer behind full cover and stops. Waiting for the rest of you. We should all be as close as possible then charge But since he has only single moved, he doesn't shout this out of his mouth, he shouts this 30 feet behind him with a small shout using ghost sound, as that way the sound will be further away from the enemy as he doesn't want the enemy to hear the plans. And the shout doesn't have to be as loud for his allies to hear since the ghost sound is closer.

Forget you have comms, did you?

Everyone leapfrogs through the spires and fallen rock, taking what cover they can as they move. The snipers fire, catching only rock and debris as you make your way through the cover. Their aim appears to be suffering, seeing you closing the distance with impunity.

Friye moves up, seeking cover and firing back to distract the nearest sniper.

Harrying Fire, 190ft range: 1d20 + 2 - 10 ⇒ (13) + 2 - 10 = 5
