GM Fireclaw's SFS PBP 1-08 Sanctuary of Drowned Delight (Inactive)

Game Master FireclawDrake

He-Who-Grinds is nearly certain this is a trap. That these morlamaw almost certainly poisoned and then tortured the kalos.

But he has no proof. Still he DOES half suspect that the airlocked room is going to make for a make shift prison and inists on waiting until Ohsessa enters before following.

Click. Whirr.

BOTTING AIRLOCK CHOICES

And this is where we split the party. Okay, let's see who else went through the airlock...

Chivix: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Osuro: 1d2 ⇒ 1
Moxie: 1d2 ⇒ 1

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

Chivix also went through the airlock. Osuro and Moxie are hanging out in the hallway with Oshessa and He-Who-Grinds.

Moxie frowns at Odhessa's outburst. "We don't mean to be ungracious guests, but I do think that we have found some evidence that needs to be addressed. We would be happy to discuss this with you in your private chambers if you wish."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (13) + 7 + (3) = 23

Moxie will follow Oshessa into the airlock, her hand resting near the sonic pistol on her hip.

Before Moxie can move through the airlock, Oshessa screams, "Treachery! Treachery! The outsiders are attacking me!"

She slams her butt against the button closing the airlock, and casts a spell.

Two of her followers from the other end of the room look up, alarmed. "Oshessa!"

The airlock is merely closed, not locked, and may be opened with a move action.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the airlock, Chivix, Drei and Remy notice a hissing sound coming from behind the partition in Oshessa's bedroom.

With incredible speed, Moxie darts around the Morlamaw, rolling into a somersault as she moves under the massive creature's flippers. Circling around Ohessa acrobatically, Moxie springs to her feet with a baton in one hand and her other on the button of the airlock, reopening it.

I think Ohessa would still be flat footed, so the Acrobatics check is more about Moxie trying to show off. Move action to circle around Ohessa and draw a weapon, move action to reopen the airlock.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Moxie flips her hair with a dramatic shake of her head and looks Osuro in the eyes.
"I case you were wondering...yeah, I've always done my own stunts."

Moxie repositions and opens the airlock! And yes, Oshessa is still flat-footed.

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

The two cultists double move forward, "Nooooooo! Don't attack Oshessa! She's so nice! Bad guests! Bad guests!"

Meanwhile, the snakes dart forward to bite.

He-who-grinds misses against the Morlamaw leader.

"I answer to a higher authority, Starfinder," Oshessa says proudly.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Remi recognizes the spell as Oshessa preparing to defend herself with magical armor. At least she's not attacking-

Her thought is cut short as she finds she's been closed into a room with several threatening serpents.

Can I try to identify them?

Life Science?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Remi instinctively draws her survival knife and tries to take a stab at the nearest one.

Attack vs. Green KAC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

On that life science roll, Remy knows that this is a snake, and that some snakes are poisonous! However, she stabs it just fine.

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

Oshessa grins ferally at He-Who-Grinds. "You have been a thorn in my side, let me be a thorn in yours."

modified injection glove: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Chivix ignored the burn in his calf and took a step back from the snake nearest him and dropped his weapon in to firing position. Touching the stud near the front grip that activated the overcharge mechanism, he fired at point blank range, the beam ripping into the snake.

azimuth rifle, eac: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
f damage: 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + (2) = 5

Thorns huh....I can show you thorns if you like...

Just as a matter of rules minutae (sorry in advance) Grinds is actually 15 feet away from Oshessa - he used a pike. She either needed to Move or Guarded Step forward.

Excellent point. She didn't move, so I retconned Oshessa's Guarded step forward.

Chivix shoots the Green Viper, who rears back!

"How else are you supposed to get the good action close-ups?" managing to continue the banter despite needing to focus on the matter at hand. Osuro starts to turn as though she's planning to do some fancy acrobatic move around the morlamaw as well, instead simply moving away and firing her Disintegrator pistol in the morlamaw's face.

Trick Attack (Bluff): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

As I don't have Uncanny Mobility (yet), that low roll means the movement will provoke, sadly. I started with 1 empty square between us. Those bonuses say this should HURT!

Disintegrator Pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Acid damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Osuro successfully hits Oshessa! Oshessa uses a resolve point to share the pain!

Drawing a weaopn while taking a guarded atep. Also granting Get 'em (+1 attack) vs Ohessa. Also, she is now flanking with He-Who-Grinds-Blades.

"We're coming, Oshessa! We won't let those bad people hurt you!" one of the cultists calls.

Oshessa calls back, "Thank goodness you're here! I think they want to kill me!"

In response, the young Morlamaw moves forward to protect his leader.
Tusk vs He-Who-Grinds: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Crit Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 6 = 16

One Morlamaw skewers He-Who-Grinds.

The other double-moves and yells at Osuro, "Out of my way! I have to heal Oshessa, she's hurt!"

Meanwhile, the vipers, struck hard, start to flee... This will trigger attacks of opportunity if you have melee weapons out!

Every time the victim attempts a Fortitude save against the poison—whether he succeeds or fails—he loses Hit Points as per on initial exposure. You will have to do another save next turn to prevent yourself from falling unconscious.

YUCK. S10/24; H28/28

I didn't include flanked or Get'Em bonuses on my attack roll, either.

Get 'em is for everybody, but the flanking is just for He-Who-Grinds-Blades. Just like to remind people, because people seem more likely to forget about flanking in Starfinder.

Osuro, 4 of your damage went straight to your hit points this turn. Poisons are nasty in Starfinder.

AoO vs. Green: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

But she's so distracted by the sounds coming from outside the room that she barely pays attention to where the blade is going. With a cry of "Who's trying to kill who now?" she sheathes the knife and starts moving back through the airlock, drawing her more familiar static arc pistol as she goes. She backs up against the wall, trying to figure out what exactly is happening here.

Move action to sheathe the knife, second move to go back out into the room while drawing a weapon. It probably provokes an attack of opportunity from Oshessa, if she can take it. If so my AC is 4 higher from mobility.

Remi misses the snake, and moves in close to Oshessa. Oshessa does not have combat reflexes. There is no attack of opportunity.

The giant armored spider does not take kindly to being skewered but figures the big blubber lad is just doing what he thinks is right and continues to focus on Oshessa.

He takes his big armored fist and produces a big poisoned barb of his own and slams it into Oshessa.

We all answer to the sssssame authority. That of natural selection. You choosing to cross me - that was your selection

Big Fist + Poison Barb DC 13 Fort or take 2d6 damage til save is made + Flank + Get Em vs KAC: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 161d4 + 12 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 12 + (4, 3) = 20

And my blows - those are all natural

He-who-grinds uses his natural selection to hit Oshessa with her poison of his own!

And she already used her reaction this turn. Boo-hoo for her this round...

Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Extra Damage that she takes: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6 +3 hit points

Then it is her turn. Though bloodied, she looks exultant. "Ooh, such glorious pain that I have to share with you! Are you sure you're not one of Chained ones? You would have been a magnificent recruit, even though you are repulsive and uppity." She takes a move action to reload the venom in her injection glove, then whacks He-who-grinds with it. "Such a poisonous creature! Think of all we could have done together. Ah well, your loss."
Because you are no longer using the pike, you are in hitting distance...

Modified Injection Glove: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Piecing Damage: 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 +4 hit points

She also uses a resolve point to share 5 points of pain with you.

DC 15 will save to resist this gift, He-who-grinds!

"Gravy, lock on to the snake. Prepare to fire."

The mechanic waited for his AI to indicate readiness, then pushed the firing stud on his rifle once more.

laser rifle, eac, ct: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13

Chivix blows the Green Viper out of the water!

Then Osuro has a very lucky turn. She makes her fort save! She succeeds in her trick attack, and she hits Oshessa! Oshessa already used her reaction, so has no more pain to dish out this turn!

Then it is the turn of the cultists. "Please don't hurt Oshessa!" Teal comes forward and tries to heal Oshessa. "C'mon, get better!"

Mystic Cure: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Meanwhile, Green hits He-who-grinds again with his tusk. "Oshessa, get away from him! We'll save you!"

Tusk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Cryopike vs EAC: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 281d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Oh almost forgot

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Also since she failed her save against my poison that's still an ongoing effect until she makes the save. POISON DUELS

"You don't understand, she's using you as food for her dark, evil god!"

Diplomacy (at some horrible minus, I assume): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Osuro has Debilitating Trick, so a successful Trick Attack ALSO leaves the target either flat-footed against EVERYONE until my next action or off-target. I usually choose flat-footed. Make her flat-footed.

Pistol damage looks too high. Die+2+trick is right. Where did the +4 come from? Weapon Spec? Only get half with Small Arms and Operative weapons (which is the +2).

Four amazing things happen.

First, Oshessa falls unconscious from He-who-grinds blow!
Even if Osuro's damage was off slightly.

Then, He-who-grinds falls unconscious from Oshessa's poison!

Then, the two young morlamaws surrender, flippers in the air. "Oshessa, noooo!" Green cries. "If you let us heal her, we can try to heal your friend." She looks absolutely stricken at the sight of her fallen mentor.

Finally, big black snake that has been stuck in the wall wriggles free and into the initiative!

♫ Duunnn dunnn... duuuunnnn duun... duuunnnnnnnn dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnn dunnnnn ♫

No one has told this snake that he should not use the JAWS theme song!

Inspired Boost to restore 10 SP

Drei, seeing the big snake, concentrates for a moment and presses an unknown button on his rifle casts Supercharge Weapon and moves into the airlock to be hidden from his new target.

Stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

Oshessa convulses, and dies right as the green morlamaw reaches her. "Oshessa... No no no no no...."

Meanwhile there is a bursting sound as the black serpent, JAWS, finally breaks free of the wall crack that trapped him.

CRRAAAAAACCCKKKK!

As the big snake swims and double-moves forward, Chivix shoots it!

Meanwhile, Moxie gives He-who-grinds an inspiring boost as the green morlamaw looks up sadly. "A promise is a promise," as she rummages through her medical bag. "Poisons are tough, but let me see what I can do."

KA-BOOOOM!!!

The big black snake's head is blown off... More disgustingly, you notice humanoid body parts spilling from its stomach.

COMBAT OVER!

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

The rules on the poisoned unconscious state are really, really harsh, but the Morlamaw have settled in a former Starfinder Lodge, and most of them are mystics. If there's good medicine anywhere, it's here. So... indulge me with a little hand-wavium.

The green morlamaw, Jelvi, pulls out an epipen of remove condition and injects it into the haan warrior. He-who-grinds wakes with a headache a few minutes later.

Looking at Jelvi, Osuro tries to engage her. "So, I guess the next question is how much do you all know about Oshessa's religion? How dedicated to creating pain are you? That's pretty much going to decide how we move forward."

Drei stashes his rifle on his back and begins looking thoroughly around the room. He does not seem to have been affected negatively by the occurrences and proceeds very nonchalantly.
Take 20 for a 33

The gentle response of the morlamaws to both Oshessa and their own injuries further increases Remi's confusion. "You really don't act like worshippers of Zon-Kuthon. Do you not know who it is you were serving here?" She gives a basic rundown of the evil god of darkness and pain, and the various pointers that they have noticed linking him to Oshessa and this place. "Please tell me that's not what you all stand for." She keeps her pistol out and ready in case the morlamaws all decide to turn on them.

"Oh we don't worship Zon Kuthon! We worship the Weeping Knight," Jelvi looks up at you, earnestly. "Oshessa taught us that our suffering can help us understand why there's pain in the world, and how to make it a better place with our offering of pain and prayer."

The other young Morlamaw, Riller, adds, "But Oshessa wasn't pleased with our progress yet, and told us we weren't ready for the higher lessons." Then he looks sad. "And now we'll never know them, because she's gone."

Then there's a quiet clearing of a throat, and you realize another morlamaw has joined you. "They don't know all that has happened, or is happening still."
