GM Silbeg's [SFS] #1-14 Star Sugar Heartlove!!! (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

If I don't hear from Kane by tomorrow AM, I will move on, and Kane will get a Glam outfit. ;)

Kane does not try to hide his displeasure.

He selects “Glam.”

There are atually multiples of each holo-outfit if Kane were to prefer...

The team is led out to the fore-stage at the beginning of the performance, as part of the "extras" that are dancers and the like.

Minimetal takes her place on the main stage, followed by Bone and Tsucki-ko.

Then, CAPTAIN✶CARMIN's drumbeat can be heard, and then the lead singer and drummer of Strawberry Machine Cake can be seen by the crowd. Bone's electric koto takes up the song, and the others follow suit with the opening song!

Make sure that these are the places that you wish to be on the stage. The concert starts full on at 14 March 2019 at 12:00 CDT (UDT-5)!

Mustachio pushes off his disgruntled attitude that he's had ever since hearing of the possible cancellation of his show, realizing he has a once in a life time opportunity here.... a chance at utter adulation! He begins to dance and spin in place, changing his rifle's clip at the same time, and performs all sorts of inappropriate humping motions with it that would get himself arrested in anything but a rock concert.

Chip arms himself with his rail cannon and nova lance, taking a position near the back of the stage, trying to balance the whole "being on stage" thing with the prospect of a soon-to-be had fight!

You see the hespers standing in the front row and they wave when they see you. You get the idea if you were to need to exit the stage, they could temporarily short out the shields, allowing you to dive out from the stage. Once out, you would have no further affect on the combat.

The stage’s spotlights turn on all at once, and the band’s opening chords rise above the excited screams of the audience. The projections onstage warp and twist in time with the music and the deafening cheers, as the band’s holoprojectors struggle to grasp an entity that exists only in the digital world. Suddenly, the holographic lights seem to explode, covering the stage in a cloud of technicolor glass and smoke. The smoke lingers for a minute then finally parts, revealing a pink, white, and black robotic figure that is now standing in the center of the stage. As the crowd murmurs, the mecha slowly turns to regard the audience before it, and then mechanically raises its finger toward the lights and strikes a dramatic pose!

Purple Stardust: Mimimetal’s dazzling guitar chords summon deep-pink sparkles around your weapons. Each of your weapons gain knockdown as a critical hit effect until the start of the next turn. Kane can instead gain stunned as a critical hit effect until the start of the next turn instead, ignoring the holo-mecha’s immunity to stunning.

Clastorg, Kane and Chip is/are up.

Engineering: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Having no idea what this thing is, Chip just grins in a simultaneous display of wonder and aggression! "That is SO Drift! Let's smash it - YARRR!!!" He uses a swift action to turn off the merciful fusion Officer Wilson put on most of his weapons then unloads a hail of bullets from his rail cannon at the robot!

Tactical Rail Cannon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 vs. KAC (Bah)
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

He will then move along behind it, setting up a pincer or if nothing else, hopefully drawing it away from his team, (reach) lance at the ready!

All Allies get a +1 to attack while Chip is threatening it with his reach weapon (2 squares in every direction from Chip).

Note to GM - Chip's lance has the Opportunistic fusion, meaning that AoOs from Chip get a +2 to attack and damage. Given its size that might not matter, but who knows, right? :)

Clastorgy scuttles away from the Mecha, jinking to the side before firing his pistol at the construct.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Thunderstrike Sonic Pistol (+Chip) vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Clastor fails to avoid the SMOV's attack of opportunity! The blade strikes true, and cuts deep.
sword! vs KAC17: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21 slashing: 2d8 + 11 ⇒ (1, 4) + 11 = 16

Klastorg does manage to hit it, though!

Kane in delay.

The holo-mecha suddenly changes into a tank! It then releases a blast of energy that hits everyone within 20' of it!

"Clastorg! Stop sucking and act like me! Get yourself together, man!"

Inspiring boost give Clastorg 10 SP back. Then back away from this thing, though when it attacked Clastorg, did it have reach? If so, I am doing a guarded step instead.

It definitely had reach

So, it looks like I made a little mistake, and the mecha did not have a reaction before it acted, so no AOO on Clastorg. I will reverse the damage

In that case Mustachio only takes a guarded step

Kane back kicks up drawing his pistols. Landing on his feet he attempts to shoot the pink tank

Attack!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 Damage!: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

If it wasn't clear, Kane and Clastorg were knocked prone
Kane's shots ricochet of the tank's armored plating.

Seeing that thing hurt his teammates, Chip gets angry, shouting at it, "Hey you giant...pink...er...drift-looking tank! Pick on someone way not your own size! Yarr!"

Snarling at it, Chip will make a full-attack with his nova lance!

Attack 1: 1d20 + 9 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 4 + 1 = 25 vs. EAC
Plasma Damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 (half fire half electricity)

Attack 2: 1d20 + 9 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 4 + 1 = 11 vs. EAC
(I would like to use my Promotional boon reroll at this juncture)
Attack 2: 1d20 + 9 - 4 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 4 + 1 + 3 = 14 vs. EAC (damn)
Plasma Damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 (half fire half electricity)

Then, to the other starfinders, "Anybody know if this thing has any weak spots?!"

(Lance 15 charges remaining)

All Allies get a +1 to attack while Chip is threatening it with his reach weapon (2 squares in every direction from Chip).

From his prone position, Clastorg attempts to determine if he can tell anything about this transforming mecha-tank.
Engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Then he will stand up and fire off a shot from his sonic pistol.
Thunderstrike Pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Chip hits once with his lance! Clastorg misses!

The tank fires its cannon, releasing a cone of energy at Mustachio, Kane and Clastorg!

untyped damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

"Grrr...don't ignore me!" Chip yells, seeing his fellow agents all shot. "And yar you lubbers - spread out so it can't shoot as many of ye at once!" With that, he full-attacks again!

Attack 1: 1d20 + 9 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 4 + 1 = 13 vs. EAC
Plasma Damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 (half fire half electricity)

(Lance 13 charges remaining)

All Allies get a +1 to attack while Chip is threatening it with his reach weapon (2 squares in every direction from Chip).

I am an idiot. This is what I get for trying to post in the 15 minutes of free time I had today. Just count this as Chip's next (totally failed) action, I suppose!

That's fine.
Mustachio and Kane in delay.

Mimimetal’s dazzling guitar chords summon deep-pink sparkles around the PCs’ weapons. Each of the PCs’ weapons gain knockdown as a critical hit effect until the start of the next turn.

Mustachio stands back up, and mutters to himself, "Let's go, Red Ranger. Get it together! This isn't a film, this is life and death!"

Inspiring boost on self to regain 10 SP

Clastorg scampers over to a different side of the mecha-tank, performing a roll at the end in an attepmt to not show the construct where he is aiming. As he goes, he calls out to the others. "It can't attack us individually right now and is slower, but it is also more difficult to get an impacting shot."

Acrobatics (Trick Attack): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Thunderstrike Pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26
Sonic Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Kane has evasion so he takes no damage from the second attack

Kane uses the lighting to make himself momentarily disappear before shooting the tank.

Stealth!: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Attack!: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19
Damage!: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Trick Attack Damage!: 1d8 ⇒ 2

While Mustachio heals himself, Clastorg lands a shot into the tank. Kane, however, fails to get out of the tank's line of sight, and so doesn't catch it off guard. His shot riccochet's across its armor.

The tanks shoots once more, catching only Kane and Mustachio in its blast.
damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Kane Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Mustachio Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Kane avoids the damage, again, but Mustachio still takes some of the attack.

Chip is so angry that this thing is hurting his team and he hasn't even been scratched yet, that he doesn't even yell as he tries to furiously attack the tank!

Attack 1: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 4 = 16 vs. EAC
Plasma Damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 (half fire half electricity)

(Lance 11 charges remaining)

All Allies get a +1 to attack while Chip is threatening it with his reach weapon (2 squares in every direction from Chip).

I am marked as prone on the map but I think I am okay because I stood up last turn

Mustachio retreats, wanting to put space between himself and it, and when he gets into position, he fires his rifle.

Huchket Rifle v KAC w/ damage: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Staying where he is, Clastorg aims his pistol at the tank. Just before firing, he crouches slightly and shifts his aim.

Acrobatics to Trick Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Thunderstrike Pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Trick Attack Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Clastorg barely manages to distract the tank with his shenanigans, and is able to land a shot into it! It is looking a little worse for wear, but still is moving!

Kane then tries something similar. However, he manages to fail both on his trickery, and his attack.
Stealth!: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Attack!: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19
Damage!: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Trick Attack Damage!:: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Then, the tank changes back into the form of a mecha! It then attacks Clastorg. Its streetsweeper glows brightly as it charges, and then discharges with a cacophony of sonic energy! Blood starts streaming out of Clastorg's ears and nose after taking that vicious attack.
Streetsweeper vs EAC17: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31 sonic: 1d10 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 7 + (5) = 22

1d4 ⇒ 3

Tsuchi-ko’s bright bass line energizes the PCs. PCs gain a +1 to all attack rolls. A PC wearing a

sweet lolita costume also gain an extra +2 bonus to attack rolls when making a full attack.

I'm assuming I'm up as well. If for some reason I'm not, this will be Chip's next action.

Gritting his teeth, Chip continues his assault, hoping to take this thing down a peg or two by attacking more slowly and deliberately, rather than fast-and-furiously.

Nova Lance: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 20 vs. EAC
Plasma Damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 (half fire half electricity)
(If this attack misses, I will use my all boon "Dream Whispers" to retroactively increase the roll by 2. This boon allows me to know if I failed the attack before deciding to use the boon, but I don't get to know by how much I missed. If the above is a hit, I'll save it for later!)

(Lance 11 charges remaining)

All Allies get a +1 to attack while Chip is threatening it with his reach weapon (2 squares in every direction from Chip).

earlier:
Huchket Rifle w/ damage: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 141d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

now:

Mustachio winces as Clastorg takes a brutal hit, but he knows there is nothing more he can do to help him... except to end this fight if possible.

"All! Do not give in! End this bad special effect!" Mustachio fires!

get em applied

Huchket Rifle w/ damage: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 131d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Finally, Chip manages to hit the thing! Mustachio shoots wildly, though not as wildly as he first thought.
Mustachio missed his +2 to hit... and the +1 from Chip. Still misses, but a reminder.

Clastog, Kane?

Carefully stepping away from the mecha, Clastorg shakily aims his pistol it before firing.

Thunderstrike Pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11 plus Get'Em bonus.

Taking a guarded step one square down, towards the force field. This is before he fires, to avoid any AOO.

Kane continues to weave in and out of the shadows.

Stealth!: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Attack!: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 24 Damage!: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Trick Attack Damage!: 1d8 ⇒ 6

"Nice shooting, Kane! Yarr!"

While Kane fails to trick the mecha, he does land a solid shot!

The mecha is still moving, though. The Mecha takes a guarded step towards Kane, but shoots at Chip! It hits the skittermander solidly, sort of!
holographic streetsweeper vs EAC23: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27 sonic: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

CAPTAIN✶CARMINE’s catchy chorus prompts the entire audience to join in. Once per round, until the end of the round, PCs can spend a move action to regain 2d6 Stamina Points. A PC wearing a visual kei costume can spend a move action to regain 3d6 Stamina Points instead.

"Chip! Be strong, friend! Stay on, get it!"

Inspiring boost 10 SP for Chip, and get em applied, +1 to hit

Letting the music and cheering flow through him, Clastorg aims at the Mecha with his pistol and fires.

THunderstrike Pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Musical Heals: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Chip gives Mustachio a thumb's up with a free hand as he's healed fully, then goes back into attacking the robot with gusto!

Attack 1: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 - 4 = 22 vs. EAC
Plasma Damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 (half fire half electricity)

Attack 2: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 - 4 = 22 vs. EAC
Plasma Damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 (half fire half electricity)

Finally in his groove, Chip gives a dazzling skittermander-smile to the crowd as he yells out with each attack, "Yaaaarrrrrr!"

(Lance 8 charges remaining - I was off by 1 last round)

All Allies get a +1 to attack while Chip is threatening it with his reach weapon (2 squares in every direction from Chip).

After Mustachio heals Chip. Clastorg barely lands a shot on the mecha! Unfortunately, it doesn't do a huge amount of damage.

Chip then chops into the thing twice!

Waiting a little on Kane

Kane continues to weave in and out of the shadows....

Stealth!: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Attack!: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 27 Damage!: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Trick Attack!: 1d8 ⇒ 7

While Kane is not nearly as stealthy as he would wish to be, perhaps because on this lighted stage there aren't any shadows to hide in! However, he does land a shot, just barely dropping the holographic mecha!

The mecha collapses into individual metal plates and then dissolves into pink dust that artfully blows away. The music suddenly stops, and the lights on the stage go dark. Just as the crowd begins to murmur among
themselves, the lights reappear on the stage—in the form of life-sized holograms depicting Zigvigix’s missing friends. The band suddenly starts up a never-before heard song, in a surprise memorial that Strawberry Machine Cake managed to create 10 minutes before the concert.

“Hello, everyone!” CAPTAIN✶CARMINE’s voice calls out, prompting a deafening roar from the crowd. “Hello, Songbird Station! Hello, everyone watching! We love all of you!”

“Today, we found out we had some fans who didn’t make it here because of a tragedy,” the lead singer continues, causing the audience to quiet down. “These brave Starfinders were lost in the Scoured Stars system a few months ago. Their friend brought their holograms here so they could still be with us today. So, I want you to get ready to cheer for them! Cheer so loudly that they can hear us, even out in the Scoured Stars! Let’s let them know we love them!” At that, the crowd erupts into an even more deafening roar, with people from every corner of the Pact Worlds, the Veskarium, and beyond yelling at the top of their voices.

“That’s right!” CAPTAIN✶CARMINE cuts through the screaming cheers. “Everyone, get ready to cheer one more time! Because not only are the missing Starfinders with us here in spirit, their friends are here with us in the flesh as well, and they just saved our concert and Songbird Station! Everyone, give it up for the Starfinder Society!”

At CAPTAIN✶CARMINE’s exclamation, the stage spotlights come back on, and the spot light is aimed at Mustachio. Tsuchi-ko calls out, "Starfinder Mustachio Marino!!!"

Mustachio has a chance for a personal shout-out in front of the
live attendees, as well as the untold thousands of people who will watch the eventual rebroadcasts of the show.

Kane slowly moves away from Mustachio trying to hide as best he can.

"HELLO SONGBIRD STATION! Of course, it is I, Mustachio Marino! You will have seen me as Bruno in the "Undead Lover of Eox" and Billy the Red Ranger in "Star Rangers Ultra Paradox"! I love you all! And you love me, naturally! Be sure to tune into my show, and keep those ratings high! And uh... of course... go Starfinder Society!" He adds this last little bit as an after thought, then performs a series of crazy high kicks and punches that he learned during his time as the Red Ranger.

profession actor: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

The cheers are rampant for Mustachio as the camera moves to Kane. Minimetal rips a lick on her transcendental rose-pink guitar as she screams, "KAAAAAAAANE!"

"Persevere."

Kane turns around and walks away.

The crowd calms down for a moment until the lights turn to Clastorg. Bone calls out, "Starfinder Clastorg!"

Touching the final small button along the side of his neck, Clastorg will address the massive crowd with both arms raised in the air. "HEY THERE SONGBIRD STATION! Thanks for this awesome applause! It is good to see so many people, both from the Pact Worlds, Veskarium, and beyond who support us during this time of struggle! THANK YOU ALL!"

Finally, the spot light turns to Chip. CAPTAIN*CARMINE herself introduces, ”What has to be the cuddliest and cutest Starfinder out there! Chip Ramsey of the Seven Arms of helping!”
