GM Ietsuna's Skitter Shot 2: Electric Skitter-loo (Inactive)

Game Master Ietsuna

"Maybe over here?"

Int: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Once Quonx got there and started working on the node, Dakoyo skittered off to try to find another one. This was actually a pretty fun game, and if he concentrated really hard, he could almost feel where Ibra's forces clashed with the science thingies.

I found another one here!

int: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19

While others begin taking down the discovered nodes, Nako squirms around and looks for another.

Intelligence: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19

Dakoyo and Nako both manage to find nodes if different sections of ducting.

Quonx goes to first one and then the other, attempting to disable each. "You are both so good at helping me with this!" she compliments her friends

engineering: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

engineering: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

going to break this up Quonx.

Quonx moves to the first one and as she starts to disarm it a cloud is released from right beside the node.

Quonx Fort Save, Suit: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 4 = 8

Quonx feels weakened from the exposure to the radiation.

The victim takes a –2 penalty to Fortitude saves, Constitution checks, and Constitution-based DCs. Every time the victim attempts a Fortitude save against the poison—whether he succeeds or fails—he loses Hit Points as per on initial exposure.

Did you want to do the next one now Quonx?

yes

Quonx steps up to the third node and readies her tools to disable it. Just as she is about to touch the node Electricity bursts from it.

Electricity: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 6, 3, 4) = 16

Quonx Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Quonx manages to avoid some of the damage. No more electricity comes and Quonx manages to take this node offline also.

Suddenly M2's voice comes through the speakers again. It slows as it speaks, trailing off right at the end.

We thank you for choosing Trendsetter Excursions and hope you will fly with us again in the future.

With M2 deactivated the Clutch can lead the Emerald Empyrean back to the Pact Worlds. In fact, Nakonechkin allows the four of you to pilot the pleasure barge for the time being, admitting tersely that the skittermanders went above and beyond the call of duty—what amounts to effusive praise from the usually laconic vesk. The Emerald Empyrean’s passengers are much more vocal in their appreciation, jubilant that they can once again return to their normal lives. Finally, Trendsetter Excursions pays handsomely to keep the incident out of the public eye to avoid any negative publicity. They assure everyone that they are also scrapping their artificial intelligence program, so the tragedy of the Emerald Empyrean should remain an isolated incident.

After the uproar over their return has died down a bit, Nakonechkin promotes the skittermanders to full partners in his salvage operation, using the payoff from Trendsetter Excursions to buy them their own starship! After all, there’s a whole galaxy out there, full of people who need help!

Thanks for playing all. There will be a small delay of a day or 2 on chronicles since I left my external hard drive at work and it has all my chronicle stuff on it.

thanks for the game, GM!

Dakoyo patched up Quonx as best he could after the michanic had gotten hurt so badly disabling those computer nodes. The trip back to the Pact worlds was an enjoyable time for the priest, as he got to heal his friends, talk with their nufriends, the Emerald Empyrean passengers, and studied Ibra at the side of another priest who was one of the other passengers. And then to be made a full partner in Nanochevkin's operations! What a glorious future lay ahead!
