I'm excited as well. I wasn't sure about the timing of this game. If it is likely to be finished before the Gameday VIII. If it is, I would rather play my level 7 solider, Ivok.
It would pull me out of the subtier, if that is a problem at all that might make this adventure as worse run, I'm happy to stay with my 5th level technomancer.
In either case I'll be spending a bit tomorrow to get my soldier updated and this character's profile ready to go if needed.
I run a fast game and we'll go as quickly as possible, but posting may slow down some between 7/3–7/15 as I tour Ireland with an ensemble. I'll have my computer and will endeavor to post 1/day while there, but expect some slowness during that time.
In the meantime, make sure every post features info that moves the action forward, alongside RP, whenever possible to make sure we keep pace. I wouldn't hold my breath for us to finish before GenCon, but if we can then awesome.

Oh, well, I'll risk it. Want to get all the Journey to the Scoured Stars cleared, and it's been hard to find this one. Thanks!

Character Name (class, level, theme): Sovyal (Operative/Star Knight, 5, dragonblood)
PFS ID: 233690-702
Starting reputation with factions: Acquisitives Reputation: 24
Second Seekers (Luwazi) Rep: 1

Exo-Guard Rep: 1
Dataphiles Rep: 1
Starting fame: 23
Downtime Activity (with roll, if applicable):
Other relevant info the GM should know: Sovyal is designed around debuffing enemies on a trick attack.
Thanks to the Star Knight Challenge ability, the first time he trick attacks each enemy, he gets to attempt a free intimidate check to demoralize. Additionally, the Challenge ability makes it so that while the enemy remains shaken, it is also off-target against every creature other than Sovyal. Furthermore, thanks to his grim trophies armor upgrade, enemies he makes shaken also take a -2 penalty to their damage rolls.
So on a successful trick attack and successful Challenge, his victim ends up potentially: flatfooted from trick attack, shaken (plus shaken applies to damage rolls), and off-target vs. non-Sovyal allies.

Smart buys. I'll let you know if you encounter any radiation effects; be sure to apply whatever bonuses against it your gear may give you, as a result of these purchases.
|

Arratoi will purchase:
1) radiation buffer, 200
2) radiation badge, 100
3) environmental clothing, radiation, 10
4) null space chamber mk 1, 3050
5) jetpack, 3100
6) two defiant fusions applied to level 1 weapons, 240
Oh and just to be clear, Arratoi's armor cannot fit both the jetpack and the radiation buffer. So he'll have the jetpack installed by default. However, if the radiation badge begins indicating the presence of radiation, he may take some time to swap them out, depending on the circumstances.

The auto-injector says you can put a vial of serum or a spell ampule into the injector, and it'll inject it into the person through the suit, and affect you as if you had drunk it. I would think using another injection method for a serum would have the same effect.
Logistically, not sure how to keep the suit from leaking. You could drink it by pumping the water into your ballast tank until most of your mouth is exposed, hold your breath, pop the visor, and suck it down with a straw.
Pathfinder has a "potion sponge" item, which is a sponge where you pour the potion into it and then cover it in wax. If underwater, you shove the sponge into your mouth and bite down on it, and absorb the potion that way. I would assume you could do something similar with capsule-like containers for serums, where you have a pouch of some kind that you bite on in your mouth ... but how to get them in your mouth is still awkward with the suit on.
Again, I think straws are the way to go here. ;)

When I GM, I've always ruled you can use serums with your environmental protections enabled. Otherwise people are impossible to heal in so many different situations. It never dawned on me that you'd be restricted in drinking serums while sealed.
Now that I think about it, I've allowed most things that seem like they wouldn't be allowed logically with enviro-seals engaged: Natural attacks, breath weapons, touch attacks, serums, spell amps, etc
Yeah, I hold the bar for what you can use to inject the serum pretty low. Any kind of medkit or similar kit would have plenty of tools for administering a serum, essentially making it open for use with the descriptive qualifier that it was administered via injection rather than swallowing. Otherwise mouthless or water-breathing characters would be unjustly screwed. Not sure how I'd navigate bite attacks with environmental seals up.
On a side note, I have quite a bit of travel on the docket coming up: this weekend I'll be going to Michigan for a wedding, then on the 2nd I fly to Ireland for a two-week performance tour through the 15th. I'll have my computer and will do my darnedest to keep up with all my games, but if posting becomes brief, slows down, or stops during this timeline that's why. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Busy travel day today. Will try to post an update tomorrow afternoon.
Apologies, the last few days of travel were exhausting. I’m home now and posting should become much more consistent. There will be an update today once I finish grocery shopping.

So, I got an option to play Star Sugar Heartlove! with Gab this upcoming Sunday, and if I miss it I'll probably level out of the opportunity before it comes my way again. Any chance we could be finished up by then? I have an alt I can use, if needed, but I'd really like to try to make it with Gab, but I have no idea if we're close enough to the end to potentially make it.
We could feasibly be done with this scenario right after this encounter if you want to skip the ooze. If everyone stays on top of everything we might finish by Sunday.

Apologies for me spending so much of my combat on the ground. I really misjudged how safe I was early on and then my ability to at least stay up through the early gauntlet of AoOs.
I'm trying to think of other spells, equipment, or tactics I can try next time I run into a situation like this, but I wanted to really say sorry for how much of the combat I didn't contribute.
|
|
Yeah, its more our bad for not being able to cover you Elminar. I know from first hand experience with my own technomancer how tricky it is to extricate yourself from melee range. I'm looking forward to taking the Flash Teleport magic hack at 8th level on mine and never worrying about being pinned down again :>
|
|
Thank you all. I appreciate it. I'll also take a look at the flash teleport ability, along with all the other stuff I look forward to with higher level technomancer.
As for the ooze, I'm fine either way. I certainly would be up for another encounter filled with trying not to get shot with ooze wielding laser.
I’ll post tomorrow, today was insane.
