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

Game Master bigboom

Twik bounds up the stairs looking like he’s going to continue on off the other side but stops almost in front of the remaining ecoterrorist and lets fly...

Trick Attack (Bluff) vs 20+CR: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
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 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
TA Damage (Piercing): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
TA Bonus Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Telwyn and Twik's combined gunfire easily brings down the last eco-terrorist while Sparks' summoned beasts fly up to observe Remerix.

Everyone rushes over to the stage, ready to assist Remerix when he inevitably begins his fatal plummet... errr... his soft descent back into the planet's atmosphere.

Remerix, after another attempt or two, puts the fire out. From about 90 feet up, with the assistance of the agathions, Remerix then cuts loose from the floating web balloon and falls straight down like a rock!

All the bound hostages, although relieved that the danger has passed, gasp as they see Remerix fall, believing that he is in real danger of death!!

But at about 30 feet above the ground, Twich casts flight on the poor, falling, toasted skittermander, providing him a nice, soft, controlled landing.

All the bound hostages cheer in relief and shout their thanks....
"Yay!!! Thank you for saving us!!"
"You're our heroes!!!"
"Oh my god!! Are you really riding Vossi?!?!? Can I try?"
"I didn't know renkrodas can shoot force missiles out of their eyes!! That is so awesome! I'm doubling my donation to the Conservancy!!!"
"Is that cute little skittermander single???"

One hostage in particular pleads, "Heya guys? Can you untie us now??"

Combat Concluded!!!

Within two hours, The Conservancy sends backup security from Esowath Nexus to get a handle on the hostage situation. As security arrives, Vossi becomes observably uncomfortable and unsettled with all the strangers. He affectionately nuzzles each of you and gives Telwyn & Sparks each another long, wet (and smelly) lick before withdrawing back into the wilds of the Ikal Expanse.

The security team are grateful for your quick action against the eco-terrorists, recognizing the expertise of the Starfinder Society despite the setback of the Scoured Stars Incident. Over the next several weeks, your heroics are the talk of several news shows across Castrovel and the Pact Worlds. Several of the hostages saved by you — including the enthusiastic Poshment Jamjet — invite you to parties and social events to show their gratitude.

Much revelry and complimentary booze was had!!!

Congratulations and well done! I'll post wrap-up logistics in the discussion thread. Please go ahead and throw up any concluding RP posts!!

Twich accepts the farewell from Vossi, glad for a chance to relatively safely be near the magnificent creature. She smiles as she sees the farewell to the others. She does her share in untieing hostages and welcoming the backup security, but is obviously rather tired from all the magic.

After the last foe falls, Telwyn realizes Vossi shouldn't stay with the crowd about to be rescued. She dismounts her new friend - nufriend as the skittermander says - and places her hand on his snout after he plants a wet one on her face. Her pulse still can't help but race being so close to his massive teeth. She follows him a little ways into the jungle, but stops and waves as he departs.

"It's ok Vossi, you should get going. I'll never forget you though! Just remember us when you look up at the stars, we'll be up there somewhere!"

She watches him go and waits for a few tears to dry before returning to the rescued party.

----

As the freed hostages shout their accolades, Telwyn can't hide her excitement.
"I know, right?! It was amazing... But don't try that at home kids! Renkrodas are wild, powerful predators, and only the most extraordinary circumstances, expertise, and teamwork let us experience that!"

"Now where's that complimentary booze? I never even had a chance to SEE the bar before all that hell broke out!"

2 years later
You are walking down the corridor leading to the cantina in the Lorespire Complex, when you smell something pretty rancid... and then you see Sparks come around the corner towards you.
Oh, wow... she's the smelly one.
And her fur, on one side of her face, it's matted and stuck and sticking out.
What the....?
Oh no!
She's never washed the place where Vossi licked her!

With the eco-terrorists dealt with and security on the way, Lynn takes to the stage and serenades the guests with some of the more calming and subdued songs in her latest set. Maybe to help get their minds off the way the giant dinosaur bit off someone's head not all that long ago. Calming music pours from the miniamp and she smiles at the audience - sending them a message that everything is going to be alright, and hopefully imprinting a memory of her song in them.

Profession (Idol): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Once the security folks arrive and begin evacuating people, she steps down and rejoins the party. "That was awesome guys! We made that super crisis situation look easy, and we did it with two people riding a renkroda! I bet that doesn't happen everyday~" She giggles, smiling at Telwyn.

"Alright, how 'bout a pic to remember things?" She ushers the group together, then takes a group selfie with her datapad. "Nice! Let's mission together again soon!"

Radaszam walks past you in the hallway, sniffs the air a bit, groans, facepalms and keeps walking without looking in your direction...

Later on that same day, when you share the pic out to the rest of the team, Telwyn takes a closer look and sees Vossi waaaay off in the background, head poking out of the wilds, looking straight at your camera with the closest thing a rendkroda has to a grin...

Vossi had photo-bombed you guys!!!!
