You did not level up, exp is at 5425 right now.
Starfinders take a short rest, then find some equipment south of the obelisk.
estex suit I once worn by one of the Devourer cultists who fell
prey to the vracinea after being chased here by the kaukarikis.
The vracinea tore the suit free and flung it aside, after which
the kaukarikis tore at it further before discarding it here. The
armor is now worthless, but among the cultist’s other gear
is a frostbite-class zero rifle and a silvery credstick holding
290 credits. The credstick landed on the ground during the
vracinea’s attack.. The vracineagnawed on the rifle for several minutes after eating the cultistbefore its jaws clamped down on the battery, rupturing it andspraying painful chemicals over the area. It then dropped thescratched rifle into the northeast foliage adjacent to the obelisk.An approaching PC can spot the rifle.
The Starfinders continue on for hours. The terrain slopes upward and it is getting dark, forcing the Starfinders to rest for the day, making it four days they now traveled away from the last city. Hope you have enough survival to automatically find food or bought at least a few trail rations.
Starfinders run into a Devourer cultist named Ralkawi CE female korasha lashunta). whohas since grown very ill as the ksarik seedlings inside hergerminate. Near the middle of the day, the PCs’ path takes themnear the cultist, who has reached the bedridden stage on thecarrion spores disease track. Unable to move, she has spent
hours shouting herself hoarse and imploring the Devourer to
grant her death. Don't come any closer, the cult will kill you, and so will I. And she is in no position to fight, but you suspect a Ksarik plant might be around several hundred feet beyond the cultist and they actually is a threat, not the cultist.
Elene Berrnshaw |
Elene's rifle is better than a frostbite zero, but it may prove useful in killing spores.
Elene keeps her distance.
I'm not coming closer, but clearly the Devourer has kept you alive long enough to answer some questions, don't you think?
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
DoubleGold |
Okay, fine, I am barely alive, and I doubt I can kill even one of you, and I can't contact the cult, but the Ksarik 300 feet up ahead will kill you. She tells you the exact location of where she thinks the Ksarik is, where she last saw it and the layout of the land ahead, so you can hide and attack it from range.
Elene Berrnshaw |
Thank you. Is there anything we can do for you?
Elene Berrnshaw |
Elene notices Sonny looking distracted.
Need a longer range weapon? I have a static arc pistol you can borrow. Range 50ft, Damage d6 electric/Arc 2
When the party is ready, she takes careful aim with her sniper rifle and fires.

So Elene is at 250 ft? or 30 ft?
Sonny thanks Elene for the gun.
Having the knowledge of a enemy beforehand, Sonny has imbue his defenses and also has his disk on hand. He throws at the ksarik.
EAC disk: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 2 = 23

I suppose that Sonny is now photon 1.At the start of your first turn in combat, if you are conscious, you must choose one of three stellar modes: graviton, photon, or unattuned.
Elene Berrnshaw |
Elene is at 50 feet range. The sniper rifle extends the range if you spend a full round aiming and firing, but even that distance is within short range for normal shots.

Elene Berrnshaw |
So it looks like K'Klacklun and Wheeler, then the critter, then the party is up, correct?

K'Klacklun moves forward looking for a glimpse of the plant. He then directs the drone to engage it.
The drone flies forward, then fires at the plant.

Both the heroes miss, but wheeler does bluff him out.
He regenerates slowly as you see his tail starting to repair itself first. regained 2 HP. This thing is weird, being classified as a plant, when it has four legs and a tail like an animal.
It moves toward the drone for a tentacle attack hit: 12 + 1d20 ⇒ 12 + (16) = 28 dmg: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 And it has an ability where it gains and ability of the drone. Say, does your drone have blindsense or darkvision? What about resistances? It gains one of these and will choose resistance first, elements before regular DR. If your drone has none of that, it will just pick up its fly speed.

Heroes press on and a moldstorm is brewing. Also, plenty of cultist are around, as you figure this is the cultist activity. You must find cover from almost all sides, at least 3/4. New map is up, what you run into, depends upon where you move to, you have three rounds of movement to get behind cover, which means you can cover almost the entire map.
Elene Berrnshaw |
Are the areas inside the reclining statue visible to us? Are they protected?
K'Klacklun- |
Are the areas inside the reclining statue visible to us? Are they protected?
Whether they visible to us or not (assuming none of the other structures have roofs on them), the feet still appear to offer the most protection from multiple sides.
K'Klacklun moves to inspect the "foot" of the statuesque structure. Double move
Then, at his direction, the B.U.G. flies forward.
Elene Berrnshaw |
Elene thinks K'Klacklun has the right idea and follows him, slipping past him to find a small crevice to hide in.
One round of movement done, to allow everyone to jockey for position.
"Wheeler" |
Like the rat he is, Wheeler scurried North and tucks humself into that 3 sided cover.

All heroes are up
No immunities, resistances or weaknesses. The skyfisher can also shoot webs in increments of 50 feet that deals minor damage. The raptor can also roar. EAC 17, KAC 18 for both. I have nerfed them slightly, so really they are CR 4.5 or something like that. These creatures you can tell are not with the cult, so they will attack them too if they see them. The Skyfisher can understand but not speak Castrovelian, you can reason with it, if you speak to it in that language, and offer up the cultists as food
Elene Berrnshaw |
Life Science: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Watch the webbing on that skyfisher, and that raptor has a fearsome roar. Does anyone speak Castrovelian? If we offer the skyfisher other food -- like the cultists -- it may leave us alone!
Elene wheels her rifle around to face the new threat, and tosses a nearby pebble past it.
Hey, look, ya big dumb lizard. Was that a bigger dumb lizard behind you?

The draw is 15 feet away and hovering above the statue/building. I assume the raptor bites K'Klacklun, who is 5 feet away.

@GM what parts of the statue are interior vs. exterior? Not sure where I want to move until I know.
DoubleGold |
There is only one entrance, from the north. The steps are tour passages, so you can tour the head or the hand, which is where they might be. 15 feet to get to the head from where the steps are. 45 feet to get to the hand. 10 feet of movement to get down the first set of steps where the entrance is. The cultists might be far in the statue or at the entrance around the corner.

Elene moves into the statue and up the stairs to the first hidden room. Quietly, she tries to sneak into the room unobserved and hide in the first cubby to her left. Ysoki are Small, so I hope this is possible.
