[SFS - PbP Outpost II] 1-15: Save the Renkrodas - GM bigboom (Inactive)

Game Master bigboom

Considering that Remerix is resting, now's the chance for all of us to. More fights ahead!

Lynn winds her song down and then takes a seat on the ground with a theatrical "Phew!" She pauses with the team to take a break and recover briefly. "That was super close. But isn't Vossi like, much cuter now that he's not trying to murder us?" She gives Telwyn a wink and a grin.

Lynn also spends a few minutes to transfer a set of jump jets into her armor. OR, if two other people want them, she helps transfer them into their armor.

Then, as the group is getting ready to go, she follows Telwyn to the dino to help hum calmingly as the lashunta does her thing.
Survival: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5
Sadly, she has zero experience calming massive renkroda, and she's not much help.

Sparks goes up to Vossi: "Don't bite me again, huh? And I won't try to drive a car into you. But do you want to go for a ride?"
Sparks points at the 4x4.
She then starts rubbing her little body against the battered parts of the dino's hide, to soothe it.
The little translator mouse that travels with Sparks then crawls out from behind Sparks' head and starts rubbing Vossi too.
The two "rodents" try to calm the raptor and make it friendly, pointing at Telwyn.
Survival, trained: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Sparks then casts a spell, making sure this does not panic Vossi.
And she touches the dino'--
Mystic Cure: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
--transferring the last of her life-blood into Vossi.
(last 1st lvl. Mystic spell used) adding 4 HP from Sparks = 11 HP healed for Vossi (and -4 for Sparks)

The diodes in Sparks' datapad then light up, as she activates some spell chips.
FIrst casting Mind Link.
Touching Vossi, Sparks instantaneously transfers about 10 minutes of information in one moment, using images and feelings to explain that we are Starfinders, here to help, and how the preservationist people want to keep this area a safe haven for Vossi's kind and... showing in detail how Telwyn is such a great person, and in love of dinos, and a great rider, and wants so much to be Vossi's friend, and how incredibly cool it would be for Vossi & Telwyn to be friends and mount & rider. Sparks tries to impart to Vossi the feelings Telwyn showed before, all the excitement and joy and love for Vossi...

Finally, Sparks casts a second spell, touching Vossi again, and having Vossi receive Share Language and thus understand, if not speak, Common, Ysoki and Akitionian.
lasts 24 hours.

Sparks steps back, and points to Telwyn: "Telwyn, meet Vossi... Vossi meet Telwyn. You should be able to understand one another, and be--"
Sparks jumps up and down: "--BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!"
Diplomacy, Aid Another for Telwyn: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10
Sparks' datajack lights up again, and you hear Fitch's voice from the AI: "Rider and mount, racing proudly across the plains! Wonderful!"
Fitch Diplomacy, Aid Another for Telwyn: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
hoping to give +4 to Telwyn for Diplo' roll, since that should be able to be done now w. language

used last 1st lvl Mystic Spell, 2 spell chips, & down to 1 HP
If all this works... might just start with an AoO bite when Sparks casts a spell!

Twik is a little astonished at his companions abilities. The amount of magical power astounds the little halfling. He retrieves his healing serum from his pack and offers it to Sparks.

"You are looking a little worse for wear my friend. It's not much but it's all I have. You have given sooo much."

Twik grabs one of the sniper rifles and gives it a thorough clean and check over.

"Perhaps we can spring some sort of ambush of our own. Two of our more normal members could borrow the suits from our dead terrorist friends over there and take their place? Im afraid it wouldn't much help me as I'm just a little small."

Wow... okaaaay then!!!

Sparks turns on the renkroda whisperer charm (you also get a little bonus due to the party learning what you all did about renkrodas earlier at the beginning of the scenario) and soon has Vossi licking Sparks out of affection. Granted Vossi's tongue smells like the decayed remnants of his last meal... but it's an affectionate lick nevertheless.

Vossi also turns to look at Remerix directly in the eye, giving him a looks that says, 'Dude, I'm sorry man... I really just wasn't myself, y'know what I mean?'

Sparks then heals Vossi up a bit, performs a psychic download of the latest, greatest Starfinder PR materials and hits Vossi with image after image about how excited Telwyn is about renkrodas, being with them, befriending them, would like to ride them and how depressed she got when everyone told her she was nuts for even thinking it...

And with the share language spell, Vossi can now understand your words... granted he's not exactly a fully sentient creature but he can understand basic commands and concepts - friend, enemy, food, not-food and so on. You can't expect him to understand the philosophy behind nature preserves and why doing so is good for the planet or the economy, for example. But he will understand that you're saving his home and ensuring that he has a place to live.

After Sparks fills Vossi's head with images of being a part of the same gang (yep, they're not 'packs' nor 'herds' but 'gangs') and gloriously hunting for food together, Vossi turns to look at Telwyn again and nuzzles her a bit.

Telwyn, Vossi is looking right at you with an expectant look in his eye...

-----------------------------------------------

Twik does find that the gear could possibly help to make a serviceable disguise. And in fact, after the party is done interacting with Vossi, you can decide to approach the gala with stealth, under a disguise, or a mix of both. I'd need a stealth roll from those who will approach using stealth and a disguise roll from those who want to go in undercover as eco-terrorists.

-----------------------------------------------

Current Status:
Sparks (-27HP, -1RP)
Twich
Twik (-5SP, -4HP)
Telwyn (-9SP)
Lynn (-4HP, -1RP)
Remerix (-2RP)
Vossi (-78HP)

Anyone else want to take a 10 minute rest or execute any other actions to heal up?

As the party deals with the battle's aftermath, Telwyn is beyond excited with the way things are developing. Laying a hand on his giant terrifying snout, she speaks to Vossi in voice or telepathically if he does respond better to that. "You're our pack now. Others in our pack are in danger - for trying to help you. We need to fight the ones who hurt you to save our gang. Will you help?"

She will try to get Vossi to drink one of her serums of healing. What condition does Vossi appear to be in? If we knocked him out and only healed a little bit, is he close to death? Or did he KO at half health or something like that?
Serum of Healing: 1d8 ⇒ 8

If he continues being receptive, she'll grab one of the sniper rifles and cautiously try to get on Vossi's back, heart beating a thousand times a minute...

Survival+rider's kit: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 4 = 20 Her Diplomacy with 2 aids is the same bonus.
[ooc]If that fails, she'll try a re-roll

If she gets on his back she'll take her 10 minute rest there! And tell him all about how she came from the stars - all of them did. But her parents had once lived here before her so it's like her home sort of. And she always wanted to meet someone like Vossi. And how all these people were here to help make sure Vossi had enough space and didn't have to stay in a cage forever. But the people who put him in that cage were helping when he was injured. But not the bad ones. But anyway it's probably about time to go eat those bad guys.

Being medium size, if the group decides to go with the disguise route, Telwyn will change into the second skin if needed (ewww dead guy clothes). But given the terrorists' announced pace of murder, she also doesn't want to waste too much time. (Disguise self takes 1d3x10 minutes, which could easily lead to another nameless NPC dying!)

Sparks is excited that Telwyn will be riding Vossi!

"Thank you, Twik! But, do you have another one? If not, best to save it in case someone goes down..."

And here I thought my augmentation would be useful. But that worked out well :)

Remerix pats the Renkroda. There, there, Nufriendasaurus. We've all been there. Not Remerix, mind you, but that's the thing to say."

Disguise: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 Try as he might, it's really hard to disguise a skittermander as anything else.

Twich grins as Telwyn makes a new friend. Then she prepares to sneak.

stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Once everyone is ready, Twik will venture ahead to try and scout out the gala. It would be nice if he could find a nice spot to fire from with his newly acquired sniper rifle.

Stealth (T10): 10 + 15 = 25

Sparks could slip along discreetly with Twik n'Twich--
Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
--but, seeing the configuration of the terrain, does Sparks feel it is possible to time driving up to the camp at around the same time as the stealthers arrive, and from a different angle than those who will be arriving disguised?
She is thinking of taking the two cars and driving them up someplace where she can point one, put it on autopilot and send it in, then driving the second one in herself (or just driving the one in herself if the autopilot is not possible), to create a sort of diversion.
If it is useless or a waste of your time etc., just use the Stealth

Apologies guys, coming off a 13 hour work day and I've got time for about 6 hours of sleep before I have to head back into the office so I'm not going to be able to get a post up today.

However, to quickly answer a few things OOC...

Telwyn, with your healing serum Vossi is at 20/90 HP currently. He can use more healing but it's up to the party whether to do so or not. Also, no re-roll needed. Your roll is fine.

Riding Vossi is like riding a vehicle. When attacking while riding Vossi, a -4 penalty for Vossi's movement is applied to your attack rolls. And if piloting rolls are needed (such as if you try to ram someone/something), Survival is used instead of Piloting but with a -3 due to the difficulty of handling a renkroda. Bear in mind you could also just simply direct Vossi towards a target... As Remerix and Sparks will attest to, he's got a nasty, nasty bite! One last note - someone else can ride Vossi with you, if anyone wants. Vossi can fit 2 passengers.

Sparks, great idea with the vehicles. Unfortunately, you won't be able to get the vehicles through the force field to enact that plan. I'll address everyone's disguise and stealth rolls in tomorrow's post.

Current Status:
Sparks (-27HP, -1RP)
Twich
Twik (-5SP, -4HP)
Telwyn (-9SP)
Lynn (-4HP, -1RP)
Remerix (-2RP)
Vossi (-70HP)

Alrighty, I'll post a proper update tomorrow. In the meantime, feel free to throw up some RP posts, take 10 minute rests and/or perform any additional healing.

Vossi obviously considers the entire party to be a part of his gang and he seems particularly friendly with Telwyn and Sparks. He's happy to interact with any of you who initiate contact with him, including trying out giving rides on his back to different party members, showing off how loud he roars, giving a friendly lick to anyone who wants it (or perhaps doesn't want it) and so on....

Oh and one more thing. We are getting fairly close to the end of the scenario. So if you can all take a look at slide 2 to confirm your character's details, that would be great. I'll use the information on this slide to fill out your chronicle sheets!

Sparks would be happy to be one of the passengers, but will leave her spot if anyone wants.

Telwyn does take a rest for SP.

If she can spend 20 minutes to take 20 on a Medicine check to treat deadly wounds with a medkit, she will do that to restore HP equal to Vossi's CR.

Then she'll give him one more healing Serum to drink. this time one of the Mk 2's that we got in-game

Mk 2 Healing Serum: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 5, 5) = 15

If that medicine check is ok, Vossi is probably up to 41-42 HP now. If anyone else feels like it, Vossi could probably use a bit more still. We got those 4 freebie serums back here and Telwyn just used one of them so far. Yes I care more about this vehicle-NPC than any of your characters! jk :p

Also, I guess some of those other three mk 2 serums would be good for Sparks too :)

OK, I'm back home and able to post normally again!

Lynn claps happily when Telwyn and Sparks manage to befriend the massive dino, though as the group prepares to head back to the party, she corners Sparks. "Sparks! I hope you're not going to go back to the party all hurt like that! We're all going to be in danger, and you for sure once those bad guys see how powerful you are." She blows out her cheeks in overacted frustration if Sparks objects at all.

"No saying no Sparkie! You've gotta be strong in case they have another scary renkroda controlled over there. Open wide~" She feeds a healing serum to the little white furred ysoki.
Mk2 Healing Serum: 3d8 ⇒ (7, 7, 7) = 21
----

As the group approaches the gala site, but are still about a minute away, Lynn holds a finger up to her chin and whispers "I'm not much for sneaking around, so I'll go distract these guys a little bit. You guys are super awesome, so I know you'll be able to get in and take these bad guys out." She smiles and pumps her fist encouragingly. "Here's a little bit of song to help you Remerix!"

After a deep breath to prepare for a complicated performance, Lynn's face settles into a peaceful expression and she begins to ♪♫ sing a haunting refrain in auran ♪♫. The sonic energy around her builds as she sings, warping the air. She extends a hand towards the skittermander delicately and a portion of the energy siphons off to surround him. In just a few moments, the little skittermander transforms! He grows larger and turns dense and heavy (though he still visibly looks like a skittermander). At the same time, a tail of pure rippling force extends from his back, thrumming against the air. He instinctively knows that it'll react to his thoughts and propel him forwards when he needs it to! (Cast Polymorph, 2nd level: Momentumform)

Both effects last 4 minutes. Lynn will try to come in at a different angle from the rest of the party if that's possible.

Sparks thanks Lynn, while the little mouse that rides on Sparks' head comes to lick the drops around Sparks' lips: "You know how to make a girl drink!"
But she is happy to see her wounds close up.

@Twik: is the Serum you gave Sparks a Mk1? If it is she will drink it:
1d8 ⇒ 6
If it is a Mk2 she will not.
(@22/28 or 28/28 HP)

Yes it is a Mk I. It’s also his only one to answer your earlier question. But feel free to drink it anyway. Twik will spend an RP to rest and restore his SP.

Current Status:
Sparks (-1RP)
Twich
Twik (-4HP, -1RP)
Telwyn (-1RP)
Lynn (-4HP, -1RP)
Remerix (-2RP)
Vossi (-49HP)

-----------------------------------------------

Twik heads to the gala site ahead of the party to scout out the situation. He sees smashed wood and glassware litter the gala site. Ripped tents, blood splatters, and scorch marks provide clear evidence of a recent battle.

The hostages are all on the dance floor in front of the stage, with their hands and legs in binders and tied to each other with loops of cable line. Ipsoth stands on the stage while three guards are posted all around the dance floor, weapons trained on the hostages. Ipsoth is giving a speech, broadcasting his manifesto to Castrovel using the gala’s infosphere feed.

Twik, go ahead and place yourself anywhere you want on the map.

-----------------------------------------------

The rest of the party moves in either trying to be stealthy or disguised as eco-terrorists (it goes without saying that Telwyn and Sparks who are riding Vossi are going the disguise route... there's no stealthing Vossi into the gala area!). However, the disguises are not so convincing and fools no one as the eco-terrorists instantly recognize you're not one of their own!

Twich's attempt to head in undercover doesn't fair much better either as the guards immediately catch on to her presence!

But Lynn manages to stay out of sight given that she's currently invisible....

Remerix, Vossi, Sparks and Telwyn are at their current positions on the map.
Lynn and Twich, you can start anywhere to the left of the blue line on the map.

As you approach and are spotted, Ipsoth declares, "I see my words are not being taken seriously. Well then, once we've taken care of you, half the remaining hostages will be executed immediately!!"

-----------------------------------------------

Combat Initiated!!!

1d4 ⇒ 4 ; Blue tactical shirren-eye rifle vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 ; Piercing damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6 ; Eyes wide open in surprise, Blue opens fire on Vossi and hits for 6 points of damage! He then uses a pair of jump jets to fly onto the stage away from the party!

1d4 ⇒ 4 ; Red tactical shirren-eye rifle vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 ; Piercing damage: 1d10 ⇒ 10 ; Red also decides to fire on the largest, scariest looking target and hits Vossi for 10 points of damage!!

The following characters in bold may take their turn:
Red eco-terrorist
Blue eco-terrorist
Lynn (-4HP, -1RP, invisible)
Telwyn (-1RP)
Sparks (-1RP)
Twich
Twik (-4HP, -1RP)
Remerix (-2RP)
Vossi (-65HP)
Purple eco-terrorist
Ipsoth

The trees will provide a bit of cover but also count as difficult terrain.

Lynn and Twik, no surprise round but the terrorists are not aware of your presence and will not be until you take an action that reveals yourself.

If no one else had anything to say about the other 2 freebie serums can I retcon to give another to Vossi?

Maybe Serum: 3d8 ⇒ (3, 6, 5) = 14

-------------------------------------

Telwyn will point Vossi in the direction of the three on the stage. "Vossi, go after those three on the high flat place!"

She tries to adjust her arc pistol to handle the jostling for riding up high, but it does no good.
Trick Attack Engineering+4 vs 20+CR: 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 4 = 23
EAC Attack, 1 range, riding: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 2 - 4 = 3
Elec Damage, trick: 1d6 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (1) = 3 irrelevant

I would have voted to give Vossi as much health, so no problem for feeding it both serums

Lynn makes her way through the dense foliage to the northeast side, moving slowly but humming to herself as she does so to maintain her invisibility.

(Double moved)

What kinds of weapons do these guys look like they're holding?
Engineering, if needed to identify: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Telwyn, yes, both healing serums could have been applied to Vossi. Sparks, in my opinion, spell cache can be applied to your mystic spells as well. Lynn, no special roll required. The guards appear to have a sniper rifle, laser pistol and knife. Ipsoth seems to have a sonic pistol.

Clearly, just what Remerix needed was -another- appendage. He tries out the form a bit, grinning widely to Lynn. "Hey, that's neat! Thanks!" His enthusiasm wanes as he sees the devastation that the ecoterrorists have wrought and the stark reminder of all the lives lost.

Conferring with Lynn on the most important of choices... music! But assume there's something cool that's going to be retconned here.

Something about this whole scene makes the entire small frame of the skittermander shake with some foreign emotion at the notfriends. His magically enhanced speed mixes with a hyper-skitter-burst, allowing him to nearly fly up and stab the large creature with his pike!

Athletics: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21 10 foot running start to jump to the top of the stairs as part of the charge action of Stellar Rush.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 11

Free Action: Hyper (extra move). Move, Standard Action Charge from Stellar Rush.

I feel spell cache works like that too. But wanted to see if okay with you.
Sparks’ datajack sparkles and it gives her power to cast another spell.
She channels healing into Vossi, and transfers her life blood too...
Mystic Cure via Spell Cache: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
transferring 27 more HP

Remerix, don't forget that your attack gets +3 damage due to momentumform's 'Momentum' trait. Every time you make an attack after moving at least 10ft that turn, you get bonus damage equal to your level. Also, for the GM, Remerix currently has 40ft base movement and DR2/magic, in case he faces some retaliatory attacks from our enemies.

Healing Serum: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 5, 4) = 14

Applying both healing serum's to Vossi puts him at -37HP

Normally, I'd bot them but I'm going to give Twich and Twik some more time to post because for this combat, I'll need them to place their tokens on the map and I'm not sure where they would want to be located. But if they don't manage to post within the next day or so, I'll go ahead and bot them.

By the way, in case anyone doesn't remember from Twich's previous interaction with him, Ipsoth is a haan.

Cool, thanks for applying the serums. We can't let Vossi die! That's nearly literally the name of this game! And he seems likely to draw a lot of fire.

Sparks just healed Vossi for 30 hp - see above - w. 3 from the spell and 27 from transferring her HP. So Vossi should be @ -7 HP I think (and Sparks is @ 1/28 or -27 HP)

Agreed. But I just haven't applied any of the characters' actions from this round yet.

Twik pops out of the nearby foliage and fires at Ipsoth...

"Surprise!"

Trick Attack (Bluff) vs 20+CR: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36
If the Trick Attack succeeds, the attack roll is vs flatfooted KAC and the bonus damage is applied
Trick Attack - Pistol vs KAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
TA Damage (Piercing): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
TA Bonus Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

I had this big fun scene planned out where Twik was going to hide behind the food bar and use his ability to kip up from prone as a swift action, fire with his sniper rifle and then drop down again out of sight. But I've realised that I've got my characters mixed up and Twik doesnt have the swift action stand up ability. Sooo... Plan B.

Oops. Yeah, should have an additional 2 damage. I read that as +1 damage, not +level

Twich, seeing that the jig is up decides to spend her last level 1 spell slot and fires off 3 bolts of magic towards Ipsoth!

3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 3) + 3 = 11

Telwyn directs Vossi where to go in combat and Vossi responds with a growl "ruuur kaaaay..." Then Telwyn fires her pistol but distance is just too far!

Lynn moves in closer and gets a better look at the opposition and their gear.

Remerix, trying to fit in, realizes that there just ain't no hiding his SIX arms and small stature. So why bother? Chaaaaarge!!!! The lil guy moves with BLINDING speed, leaps up, pulls off a backflip, lands onto the stage right next to Ipsoth and stabs with the power of all his forward momentum for 13 points of damage!!

Sparks lays her ysoki paws on Vossi and more of Vossi's wounds seal up in an instant, healing him for 30 points. Even a few scars that had marred Vossi's body heals up! Conversely, Sparks looks noticeably worn out upon completing the spells, having lost 27 points...

Twik leaps up out of nowhere, rhetorically declaring that everyone is to be suprised and immediately lands a hit on the haan for 8 points!!

Twich's magic missiles slam unerringly into Ipsoth for another 11 points of damage!! Ipsoth is looking mighty unhealthy....

Vossi moves quickly but majestically towards the stage where Ipsoth stands. Telwyn and Sparks, this is a horrible situation where hostages were executed and more are currently bound and marked for death... But despite the grim circumstances.... DANG this is cool!! You're riding a FRIKKIN' dinosaur into battle!!

-----------------------------------------------

rifle vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 ; Piercing damage: 1d10 ⇒ 10 ; The purple terrorist raises a rifle and fires at Remerix, hitting him for 10 points of damage!!

Balloon vs KAC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 ; Ipsoth spins a web and fills it with an unpleasant-smelling gas ("Sorry, too much dairy from the food buffet...hehe" says Ipsoth), forming the web into a balloon. Ipsoth then slaps the balloon onto Remerix and it rises, lifting Remerix 30ft up above the ground and continues to rise!!

Ipsoth then moves away from the incoming renkroda!!

Remerix can take take a DC15 Reflex save to either cut or break free from the balloon.

Trick: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 ; laser pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 ; Fire damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (1) = 3 ; The red eco-terrorist fires at Remerix but misses!!

Trick: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 ; laser pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 ; Fire damage, critical: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6 ; Fire burn: 1d4 ⇒ 2 ; The blue eco-terrorist fires into the air at Remerix and manages a lucky shot, setting Remerix on fire. Remerix takes 8 points of damage in total!
Reflex save DC12 to put out the fire

-----------------------------------------------

Round 2
The following characters in bold may take their turn:

Red eco-terrorist
Blue eco-terrorist
Lynn (-4HP, -1RP)
Telwyn (-1RP)
Sparks (-27HP, -1RP)
Twich
Twik (-4HP, -1RP)
Remerix (-18SP, -2RP, 30ft high, Reflex DC15 to cut loose from balloon, Reflex DC12 to stop burning)
Vossi (-7HP)
Purple eco-terrorist
Ipsoth (-32HP)

@GM rolls: Stop using all the good ones! D:

Telwyn tinkers with her weapon again. Her aim is so good that the only reason she ever misses is that her pistol's settings aren't quite right. She fires off another shot at Ipsoth, following the party's focused fire.

Engineering Trick vs 20+CR: 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 4 = 27
EAC Attack, riding: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 4 = 19
Elec Damage, trick: 1d6 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (6) = 11

"That, Vossi, is what we call a nice shot!" I think/hope...

Nice shot indeed!!! Telwyn makes up for her previously awful shot with a powerful blast that lands on Ipsoth, sending him crashing down to the ground, unconscious!!!

Round 2, cont'd
The following characters in bold may take their turn:

Red eco-terrorist
Blue eco-terrorist
Lynn (-4HP, -1RP)
Telwyn (-1RP)
Sparks (-27HP, -1RP)
Twich
Twik (-4HP, -1RP)
Remerix (-18SP, -2RP, 30ft high, Reflex DC15 to cut loose from balloon, Reflex DC12 to stop burning)
Vossi (-7HP)
Purple eco-terrorist
Ipsoth (removed from battle)

Sparks yells out: "Yippee Ki Yay"
And starts casting a long complex spell...
full round summon monster 2

"I wonder if they make ocular lasers in Vossi's size..."

The spunky little ysoki mage uses her spell cache to send one last blast of magic missiles at the nearest thug.

damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4, 1) + 3 = 11

Lynn spins into a pirouette, her arms sweeping up the sonic energy surrounding her and turning the illusion into another volley of force bolts. She fires a finger gun at the purple eco-terrorist, and with an accompanying wink the beads of force gatling at the fellow.

Magic Missile; harmful spells - vs. purple: 3d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2, 1) + 5 = 11

Sorry Twich, I used your last lvl 1 slot when I botted you the previous round.

Twich moves forward a bit and, like Lynn, opens fire on the purple terrorist!
laser pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Fire damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Sparks begins casting a spell... who knows what he'll conjure up???
What are you planning to summon? FYI, the 'summoned creatures data' link in your profile isn't shared so it is currently not viewable.

Twich fires a shot towards purple and hits for 5 points of damage!

Upon hearing Telwyn's comment regarding ocular lasers, Lynn lets loose several more force bolts, angling them such that they appear to be coming out of Vossi's eyes as they hit purple for 11 points!! Well, at least from the purple eco-terrorist, it appears as though they came from Vossi's eyes!!

Vossi moves forward, leaping up onto the stage towards the red eco-terrorist, nearly throwing Telwyn and Sparks off his back! He then bites at the red terrorist!!!
bite vs KAC: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
Piercing damage: 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (5, 3) + 11 = 19

And with a single bite, Vossi rips off the red terrorist's entire head!!! Blood flies everywhere, splashing all over Vossi's face. And a couple streams of blood flies towards Sparks and Telwyn as well, bits of splatter all over their armor and little bits of brain matter land on your heads as well... Oh my!

The blue eoc-terrorist yells out in horror, "Oh my god! They killed Kenny! You bastards!!"

-----------------------------------------------

Round 2, cont'd
The following characters in bold may take their turn:

Red eco-terrorist (removed from battle)
Blue eco-terrorist
Lynn (-4HP, -1RP)
Telwyn (-1RP)
Sparks (-27HP, -1RP)
Twich
Twik (-4HP, -1RP)
Remerix (-18SP, -2RP, 30ft high, Reflex DC15 to cut loose from balloon, Reflex DC12 to stop burning)
Vossi (-7HP)
Purple eco-terrorist (-16HP)
Ipsoth (removed from battle)

I'll bot Twik and Remerix shortly, unless they post first...

Then Remerix attempts to cut himself loose from the floating web balloon...
Reflex DC15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
"Uhh.. uhhh... I believe I can fly!!"

Failing that, Remerix tries to put the fire out...
Reflex DC12: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

"Uhh.. uhhh... Guys?!? Look, I'm a flamin hot air balloon!"
Yikes! Sorry for the awful rolls, Remerix.... If you have bonuses or re-rolls, let me know and we can retro-actively apply them.

Twik opens fire at the purple terrorist!
Trick Attack (Bluff) vs 20+CR: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25
If the Trick Attack succeeds, the attack roll is vs flatfooted KAC and the bonus damage is applied
Trick Attack - Pistol vs KAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
TA Damage (Piercing): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
TA Bonus Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

GM, that was not from a spell slot, that was Twich's spell cache, which acts a lot like a wizards bonded item.

Ohhhhh!! I missed that. Alrighty! In that case, Twich's missiles take the purple terrorist down. And Twik's shot is applied against the blue terrorist for 11 points of damage. Thanks for the correction!

Fire damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3 ; Remerix floats up another 30ft high and continues to burn!!

Twik opens fire at the purple eco-terrorist, hitting and dropping him.

The remaining eco-terrorist yells, "You'll never stop us!!! Even with your flaming, sky-high skittermander!!!"
Tel, Spar, Twik, Rem, Vos: 1d5 ⇒ 2 ; Trick: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 ; laser pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 ; Fire damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (1) = 6 ; He aims at Sparks, fires and hits for 6 points of damage!
I believe that causes your spell casting to fail?

Things for Remerix are looking a bit... interesting... as he floats away into the air. What's he gonna do?? Can anyone save him...??? Or will he fall to his death while aflame???

-----------------------------------------------

Round 3
The following characters in bold may take their turn:

Red eco-terrorist (removed from battle)
Blue eco-terrorist (-11HP)
Lynn (-4HP, -1RP)
Telwyn (-1RP)
Sparks (-6SP, -27HP, -1RP)
Twich
Twik (-4HP, -1RP)
Remerix (-21SP, -2RP, 60ft high, Reflex DC15 to cut loose from balloon, Reflex DC13 to stop burning w/ +2 bonus)
Vossi (-7HP)
Purple eco-terrorist (removed from battle)
Ipsoth (removed from battle)

Sorry, I misunderstood something. I did not understand Remerix is rising. I thought he was just floating around at 30 ft.
Is there any moment from the time Remerix started floating upwards, when he was within 35 feet of Sparks? (I imagine not, but just asking)
Since I can use a spell chip to cast Flight as a Reaction (then lose my next turn's Standard) but it is Close range so 25 feet + 5 feet/2 levels = 35 ft.

Back in round 1, you were about 20ft away when Remerix started floating up.

One thing I'd like to point out. Twich has the flight spell available, so she can potentially cast it without Sparks having to expend a spell chip. May save a bit on resources and is something the entire table would quickly realize in a face-to-face game as opposed to PBP.

I believe you can't cast the level 1 version of flight on a target that isn't falling, based on the description.

With only one eco-terrorist still fighting, Lynn rushes up to the stage and takes up a position of cover behind the podium. She looks up at Remerix, pausing long enough in her singing it call out "Don't worry Remmy, I'll catch you!" She spreads her arms out as if she'll really catch him that way.

(Lynn will hold her Spell cache slot to cast the 1st level version of flight once Remerix is falling to cancel him injuring himself. That way the rest of the group can focus on the last terrorist)

Telwyn wipes some of the splattered blood off of her face. "Nice 'shot' Vossi!"

Telwyn briefly considers trying to shoot Remerix out of the sky, but then figures she's already "helped" him with friendly fire enough, and the magic users seem to have a plan.

"Let's take that last one out, but then after that I think the rest are friends, so no more eating people for now!"

After fighting these guys a while, Telwyn thinks she can target a weak system in their armor, and adjusts her weapon accordingly before taking a shot at the last eco terrorist...
Trick Attack Eng: 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 4 = 35
EAC Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Elec Damage, Trick: 1d6 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (4) = 6

Sparks looks at blue to see if he is still standing, and, if so, sends the three agathions against him, flying around his head and slashing at him, trying to flank--
Sword of Light: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 +2 from flanking
S: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Sword of Light: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 +2 from flanking
S: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Sword of Light: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
S: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
--if blue is already down, Sparks sends the flying dinos' to go cavort with Remerix!
