GM_MG's Dead Suns (Inactive)

Game Master GM_MG

Wrapped up in his search for evidence of knish, B-Bop perks up out at the sound of trouble. He then rushes across to the scene of the disturbance, pistol drawn.

Aww, drek! Da plush carpet's gonna try ta shag us!

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Both saves are successful.

Tiktik jogs down the corridor and skids to a halt as he sees B-Bop covered in writhing mold strands.

"Umm, I think this is helping... is this helping?"

He spits out a grenade and rolls it down the hall.

Life Science: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

+4 if the library chip applies

Tiktik replies over the comms, <It doesn't seem like anyone is falling back. Are you willing to come back inside and help? If you've got any spells, grenades, or cool Solarian moves that help deal with swarms, I imagine our lasers and such are having limited effect.>

He jogs down the hall to see where the creature moved to and sees several of his friends engulfed as he spits out his last grenade.

"Hmm, I'd rather not blow all of you up, so..." he trails off as he turns his attention to the other creature inside the room and lobs his explosives at it instead.

move, spit out grenade, and toss at Yellow (DC 16 reflex). Elliot also move, then fire a shot at Blue.

Tiktik incendiary grenade mk 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d6 ⇒ 3
crap. OK looks like I have to roll a d8 for scatter direction and a d4 for scatter distance.

scatter: 1d8 ⇒ 8
distance: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Well I completely missed that, but at least I think I missed Bepo too. FWIW I marked on the map the intended target and where I actually firebombed.

Elliot caustolance: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 262d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 1) + 7 = 9

The Blue summon misses its shot.

Bepo lands a sweeping blow on the swarm, cleaving off dozens of wriggling filaments. He misses on the backswing.

Tiktik's grenade goes off harmlessly.

Not a lot to these guys. The DC for the saves are 14 and 15, and they have 145 hit points with no resolve.

Jax, Talek, and B-Bop are up!

B-Bop flies down the hall to attack the swarm.

Ya gotta watch out, dat rug tries ta make itself at home in all'a yer crevices!

Jax is nauseated after being covered by the swarm.

The other swarm rushes eagerly at Bepo.

Damage: 2d10 + 9 ⇒ (1, 1) + 9 = 11

The swarm does very little damage to Bepo, however.

I don't know if you saw, Tony, but there's been a change to Enhance Resistance in the latest version of the Core Rulebook. We can continue to use the old version for the duration of the combat, however.

Everybody is up!

Well crap, the nerf to Enhanced Resistance sucks for my soldier. Then again the old version was kinda OP, so it is probably for the best.

"Ok, enough is enough! Time to zap these things back to oblivion!"

He raises his weapon to his cheek, watching the red dot of his laser sight dance over the chaotic cluster of creatures in the hallway. He holds down the trigger until the rifle vibrates against his cheek, waiting until the dot comes to rest on an unobstructed part of the swarm's mass, before he unleashes a deafening blast of sound at blue. Overhead, his drone's spindly arms hold its weapon steady, as it fires off a line of disintegrating energy at the same target.

"The integrity of that building is deteriorating exponentially the longer you continue to fire off weapons and explosives! Draw out whatever you are fighting into the open! I will summon more allies to cover your escape!"

Rags begins casting Summon Creature at level 2 again.

"Where you going Jax? The fight is the other way? You'll be fine, now get back in there!"

Inspiring Boost spending 1 RP to enhance it. If i'm reading this correctly it'll restore 18 plus another 6 by spending the RP.

Get 'em on Blue

"Finish that one off, then we can work on the other one. And Rags... sorry buddy, I don't know what you mean about the building falling down. It's not in great condition, but seems to be holding up just fine. Maybe get your ey... uh... nevermind."

"You've done well, we've got it from here!
You've done well, now turn to the rear!
Do not fret, it is okay!
Heaven is here to save the day!"
5/6 rounds left

Hearing their heavenly brethren singing, the original three pick up the chorus as well.

Moving around closer to the door.

”I think we’ve got it. Let’s finish it off strong so we can grab this box and head out. Our vlakan friend is going to stress himself to death otherwise”

I wonder if vlakan people’s show affection like canines? With tail wagging and licking? Would be odd to see such a display from the steward

Get em on yellow.

Taleks first shot does in the mold, blowing the mass of filaments apart.

Out of combat!

Taleks first shot does in the mold, blowing the mass of filaments apart.

”Quick, check that door, then we can grab the box here and scoot.”

The assorted good outsiders hear L's orders and comply to the best of their ability while still summoned. They check the door.

The Orange Archon and Pink Angel retriev the box and move with their fly speed of 30 ft out of the building back towards Rags. Assuming there isn't a skill check involved. If there is and they don't have it they will wait for someone else.

Since Bepo is next to the door he will reach over and open the door.
