GM Woran's Starfinder: Dead Suns AP

Game Master Woran

I figured antonius would have used his skill to hide a weapon on each of you. One weapon was confiscated, we decided on Jaru's, so the rest of you would have a weapon, altough still hidden on your body.

The three thugs stand up. "Not funny little rat. Put that down or leave, or we'll make you leave."

Antonius tries to notice any tattoos or any markings that would make him think these guys are part of the gang. "No you just wait a minute. Ain't nuttin' small about dis rat, I'll have you know. Don' you go gettin' all jittery on us. Weze all friends here, capiche?"

'When you're ready, Jaru. It'll be a shame to waste this bottle, but I gots a weapon ready.'

Jaru's expression darkens as he addresses the three thugs, "You should have let Antonius play."

As he speaks, light begins to shine beneath his skin rapidly intensifying until three balls of energy burst forth and strike the thug that threatened Antonius.

magic missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3, 4) + 3 = 11

Magic missle will count as a surprise round. They are clearly Downside Kings gangers. Onto initiative

Round 1

Gangers 11 damage red
Rasalhague
Antonius

Tali and Jaru are up!

Jaru sighs as the thug fails to collapse."That's unfortunate. They're a bit heartier than I thought. I suppose I'll just have to try again."

Another barrage of energy assaults the thugs. One of the bolts slamming into the red ganger and two more impacting the purple ganger.

1 bolt on red: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
2 bolts on purple: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6

"Now I'd really appreciate it if the rest of you could finish them off."

Red goes down from the missle

Botting Tali

Jaru: Using his magic, Jaru downs Red, and wounds purple.

Tali: Focussing fire, Tali fires on purple.

shooting at purple: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

Gangers:

Purple screams, being on fire. damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Flailing, purple rolls on the floor for a few seconds but succumbs to the flames.

Green: cursing, green fires at Jaru. shooting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Round 1

Tali
Jaru
Gangers
Rasalhague
Antonius

Rasalhague and Antonius are up!

Now that guns have been drawn, Antonius pulls his pistol from his cheek pouch. Then, with a quick twiddle of his fingers, he fires off a subroutine, and coming from the guard's comm unit a garbled "<crackle crackle> I need you out front immediately!" comes out.

trick attack, computers: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 4 = 17
Man, the RNG does not love me

Shrugging, when the man does not get distracted, he shoots.
auto-pistol: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Attuning photon (1/3)
Moving in front of green, attacking with survival knife
Survival Knife: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Raz rushed forward, pulling his knife and slicing at the one still standing ganger. They needed to end this fight as soon as possible.

Antonius: The distraction does not work, but the shot is true.

Rasalhague: Moving forward Rasalhague stabs at green, drawing blood.

Round 2

Tali
Jaru
Ganger: 11 damage
Rasalhague
Antonius

Tali and Jaru are up!

Reaching out with his mind Jaru turns a bottle of alcohol into a Telekinetic Projectile aimed at the thug's head.

Bottle Rocket: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Severe Headache: 1d6 ⇒ 5

"What? No!" yells out Antonius, as Jaru lets fly with a bottle. "Such as waste!"

They say alcohol IS a solution... but not for the last thug, as he falls face down on the floor, unconscious.

We're out of initiative

"That was a mess," Raz noted, helping himself to one of the pistols and checking the charge on it. "Well, in for a credit, in for the crate. Shall we see how far our luck holds?"

Antonius also grabs a pistol, as he pats the three down. Just to be thorough, he grabs a couple of bottles “for later”, shoving them into his cheek pouches.

He also makes sure to grab all of the recreational stimulants!

”You know, we might be able to make use of those costumes....”

Jaru looks curiously at Ras as he retrieves the last thug's pistol. "I am sorry Ras. Should I not have attacked them? I thought that was what everyone wanted. At least none of us were harmed this time...though if someone is in the next room they probably heard the gunfire."

That brings up an interesting point. How much noise does Magic Missile make?

Magic missle, probably a bit, but not as much as Antonius hs auto pistol. Altough it seems the people in the club have not heard it, or thought it was part of the music. If there is someone in the other room, they will most likely have heard the shot go off.

On the gangers you find: (three times) flight suit stationwear, azimuth laser pistol with battery (20 charge batteries), club, credstick (150 credits)

“Oh no, you did quite well. I’m rather impressed. I was more speaking in general. Now we have no choice but to press onwards. If we leave, they’ll beef up security and make the next run even more perilous if not impossible.”

Antonius will switch to using the laser pistol for now, as they are likely quieter.

"Yesh, let'sh pressh on!"
Antonius quickly listens at the door, and checks, carefully, to see if it is locked.
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Finding the door neither locked (or trapped), and hearing nothing except for the beat of the music from the club, you open the door.

You see an office, which contains a desk, several chairs, and vidscreens tuned to multiple entertainment feeds. A door to the northeast leads to a secure storage area.

A Vesk in red armor stands near the northeastern door. A woman covered in tattoos is taking cover behind the desk. Both have their guns drawn.

She gives you a once over. "Give me one good reason not to kill you."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

"I mean, you can certainly try, but there are four of us and two of you. Counting the corpses cooling behind us we've killed a good seven of your men already along with four from one of your rivals. You might get one or two of us before we get you or you could just give us what we came here for and we'll be on our merry way," Raz said without a trace of concern.

"I already know how everything ends. Do you?"

Jaru slides up next to the door and sends Ras a message telepathically as he attempts to cow the gangers.

"I have enough in me for one more barrage. Let me know if and when you think it is needed."

She grins, the glint in her eyes slightly insane. "Oh I do love a good challenge."

Ferani: Putting words into deeds, the lady fires at Rasalhague
shooting vs Rasalhague: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
But the shot buries itself in the door.

Vrokilayo: With an animal snarl, the Vesk moves to defend his boss. He pulls the pin out of a grenade while moving and tosses it at Rasalhague in the door opening. Instead of exploding, electricity shoots out of it.

shock grenade attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Reflex Rasalhague: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Everyone can act!

Attuning Photon 1/3

“I did try,” Raz said to the others mildly, then promptly blasted the vesk bodyguard in the face with his looted laser pistol. "Focus fire on the vesk!"

Laser Pistol: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7
1d4 burn critical effect
Moving into the room

Jaru moves to get a visual on the Vesk before flinging a chair at it with Telekinetic Projectile.

Chair to face: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

The vesk is on fire and has a chair in the face to ad insult to injury. Focus fire is working

"Yeah, you've had better ideas, man." says Antonius. He moves, slightly, while triggering yet another routine. Suddenly, on all screens, various types of pornography are displayed, volume high enough to overcome the sounds from the night club, momentarily distracting the vesk!
computers for trick: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 4 = 30
trick attack w/ laser pistol vs FF EAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 fire damage: 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + (1) = 5

Rasalhague: Hitting a weak spot in the Vesk's armor, the large figure erupts into flames!

Jaru: Not seeing the threat of moving furniture coming, the Vesk is hit square in the face with a chair.

Antonius: Blasting porn at full volume makes the Vesk loose his focus, giving Antonius the oppurtunity to shoot him square in the gut.

Botting Tali: Focussing fire, Tali also shoots at the Vesk.

shooting at the vesk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

But cover makes her miss.

Ferani: Grimacing, she shoots at Rasalhague.

shooting at Rasalhague: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
crit damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7

Vrokilayo: Bellowing in pain and anger, the Vesk ignores being on fire!
BBQ: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Snarling, he moves towards Rasalhague, drawing a hammer while walking.
hammer time vs Rasalhague: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

The hammer misses, and smashes a huge dent in the floor plating.

Round 2

Jaru 7 damage
Antonius 3 damage
Rasalhague 10 damage
Talishanyu

Everyone can act again!

Continuing the onslaught against everyone's senses and sensibilities, Antonius attempts to take down the vesk.
porn trick attack: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 4 = 25
laser!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6damage: 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + (4) = 6 or not...

Attuning Photon 2/3
Survival Knife (Fighting Defensively, +2 to AC): 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 4 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Raz steps around the hammer and lashes out with his knife, more interested in keeping the hulking vesk thinking about their own defense than drawing blood.

Jaru lashes out with another barrage of concentrated starlight sending two missiles at the Vesk and one at the woman behind the desk.

Magic Missiles vs Vesk: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6

Magic Missiles vs Ferani: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Antonius: Blasting at full volume, Antonius is a little bit distracted by his own distraction and his shot misses.

Rasalhague: Having swung hard, the Vesk left his flank open, and Rasalhague manages to put the knife into a crease in the armor.

Jaru: The energy from the stars cant miss, and its enough to bring the Vesk crashing down!

Botting Tali: With the Vesk down, Tali shoots at the mean lady.

shooting at the mean lady: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
But cover really isnt Tali's friend.

Ferani: Cursing enough to make a dockworker blush, the lady keeps cover behind the desk, trying to down Rasalhague.

shooting at Rasalhague full attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

shooting at Rasalhague full attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Round 3

Ferani 5 damage
Vrokilayo
Jaru 7 damage

Talishanyu

Everyone can act again!

"Honestly, babe, we ain't here to fight." says Antonius. "I mean, maybe we go find a room, and settle things up the old fashioned way.

"No? Well, I guess to each their own."

With that, the woman's computer starts displaying what seems like her personal financial data for a moment... as Lucius makes his way into the room.

computer trick attack: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 4 = 30
laser trick blaster!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 laser trick: 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + (3) = 5

"It is true we do not wish to cause you further harm. Give us the information we came for and you don't need to end up like your scaly associate. If not... well then the we simply obtain the information once you're unconcious."

To accent his final statement Jaru sends the same chair that hit the Vesk rocketing towards her.

death by chair: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

probable concussion: 1d6 ⇒ 1

critical concussion: 1d6 ⇒ 5

On my phone so I cannot move my token but I want to move right up next to her and ready to Supernova if she does not throw down her weapons and surrender. It’s a DC 14 reflex save for half damage
Readied Supernova Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5) + 1 = 7

Raz steps over the quietly bleeding remains of her pet vesk, his skin beginning to leak the ghostly light of a dying star. If she did anything other than surrender he was going to give her a small taste of vast cosmic mechanisms, and probably roast her flesh.

She does not surrender. Before I process the actions, it looks like Antonius is very close. As is, he would be caught in the supernova. Would Rasalhague want to do something else?

Antonius: With the sound blearing, the lady is distracted, letting Antonius get a good shot in.

Jaru: Masterfully manouvers the chair, to great effect and a lot of damage

Rasalhague: Exploding with the intensity of a star, the cover of the desk is unable to protect the lady.
reflex save: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12

Botting Tali:

shooting at the mean lady: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Tali manages to hit the lady square in the chest, and she collapses!
The desk is smoldering just a little bit...

You're out of initiative

"Well this is a mess," Raz noted, standing placidly in the middle of circle of destruction as though he had not temporarily become the surface of a star. "Shall we loot the place?"

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Peeking from under some singed papers on the desk, Rasalhague finds a datapad. The papers themselves are mundane, orders for drink and food for the bar.

Under the desk, Rasalhague spots a button, flashing red. It looks like some kind of silent alarm.

Patting the lady down, its clear she's wearing an estex suit I and dropped on the ground next to her are a club and a tactical semi-auto pistol with 25 rounds. Rifling trough her pockets, you find a key card and a credstick (500 credits).

I'm assuming someone simultaniously checks the Vesk

Frisking the Vesk is a lot harder, as the bodie plus its armor weigh a ton.
Checking him over, he wears atroop ceremonial plate, and dropped on the ground are an assault hammer and a azimuth artillery laser with 2 batteries (20 charges each). On his belt he has a frag grenade I. In his pockets you find a credstick (200 credits).

"I'll check out the datapad later, but I should get this alarm turned off!" says Antonius.

He will attempt to disarm the alarm, if possible.
engineering: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
computers: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Antonious fiddles a bit with the alarm, and the red light stops blinking.

The closet in the corner is closed off by a door. It looks like its locked. There appears no apperant locking mechanism.

Perception Antonius: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Perception Jaru: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Perception Talishanyu: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Jaru however, spots a hidden lock worked into the side of the desk. Looks like it takes a keycard...

"Great find!" says Antonius. He then tries to pat down the corpses for a keycard. Failing that, he'll try to pick

Swiping the keycard that Rasalhague found on the dead lady, the door hisses open.
Inside are a holoskin, an autotarget rifle with five magazines of longarm rounds (10 cartridges each), two incendiary grenades I, two mk 1 serums of healing, a quick-release sheath armor upgrade, 500 UPBs, and half a dozen credsticks holding 100 credits each.

"Well hello," Raz says, picking up the rifle and checking the weapon over. His hunting rifle had a little more punch but fully automatic fire was a wonderful thing.

"Think that alarm drew attention?" Raz said checking the rifle and checking the clip.

”Probably.” agrees Antonius. ”Let’s get out of here, then we can split up the loot.” Rat Tony checks the holoskin to see if he can figure out what it is of.

"Yo, dudes." says Antonius. "Rat Tony's got an idea here. We could use this holoskin to copy this dead chick here, and walk outta here. Now, Antonius ain't one to cover up his pretty face, so who's gonna volunteer?"

"I am willing to help out Antonius, however, I feel my acting skills leave something to be desired."

"Bah!" exclaims the rat. "She was a stuck up prig. Let's see what I can jury rig up here...."

Unfortunately, it takes disguise skill... not one he has yet.
disguise: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Untrained Disguise: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Even worse for me...

Raz gave the holoskin controls a try as well but only managed to make the display switch to a default lashunta.

"We're getting nowhere with this and wasting time," he grabbed the crispy remains of the dead gangboss by an arm and dragging it towards the door.

Jaru scratches his head as he looks back and forth between the scorched corpse and the holoskin. "Was she Lashunta before? I thought she was human...wait are we just going to drag her past the guards?"
