GM Ietsuna's Pact World Warriors

Game Master Ietsuna

@GM - thanks for that clarification.

"Not a bad idea although I think we should keep it in this room for maximum protection. It sounds like they are on their way. Maybe put it in the corner behind those crates farthest from the door," he responds to Radiance.

Seeing Magic drop the other flag at his feet, he kicks it over to the corner and gets ready to shoot any intruders.

Valeron puts a round into the back of Shenvyzam.

Sorry for the delay!

Radiance picks up the flag and tosses it towards the back of the room, hoping to hide it from everyone who comes looking for it. She then readies to shoot again.

Holy fire BURN (Azimuth Laser Rifle): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Half-fire, half-holy damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Tillik rounds the corner and sees Nate. He fires his pistol at Nate.

subzero hail pistol Vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Verity-5 and Rafelo follow Tillik ready to move into the room

Shenvyzam's drone slams into Chk'tarlsh's legs.

slam: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Shenvyzam piles on too as she attacks Chk'tarlsh also.

cestus battleglove: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Amazingly Chk'tarlsh avoids both blows.

Mia moves up to be at Chk'tarlsh's back.

Sensing his foes closing in around him, Chk'tarlsh snaps his mandibles. Now, this is interesting! he sends telepathically to the gathering Head Hunters.

Chittering in laughter as he easily avoids their blows, he counters with another pair of slashes aimed at Shenvyzam.

Long sword 1: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 4 = 6
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Long sword 2: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 4 = 4
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Distracted by his mirth, his attacks fly wide of their target.

Max flinches when the door opens but he quickly relaxes when he sees that it is Nate. "You bringing company, Nate?" he asks while getting ready for the visitors.

Trick attack (stealth): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 (DC 20 + target's CR) Success = Extra damage and flat-footed
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Ranged attack (pistol): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Valeron charges in to aid Chk'tarlsh, "I've got you! Get the flag back to base!"

Move & Grapple

Grapple vs Blue: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Valeron manages to wrap his arms around the Vesk and holds her tightly.

Radiance, trying to ignore the flag in the back of the room, strides forward a few steps and takes aim out the door. "How long was this game supposed to go again? 'Cause we must be leading in points right now."

She then fires off a blast at the cat like creature in yellow.

Holy fire BURN (Azimuth Laser Rifle): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Half-fire, half-holy damage, All non-lethal: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Did you get my 10 piercing damage (nat 20 to hit) against the first opponent who came into Magic-14's line of sight readied attack? Don't see it on anyone.

Machine Gun vs yellow (if applicable, Sniper’s Aim reduce the AC bonus from cover by 2): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Piercing Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 4

"Arhh..." Nate says taking a hit. He then aims at Yellow again and fires.

azimuth laser pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Magic-14, it would have hit Tillik. I missed it because I was bad and didn't take note of readied attacks.

The "match" is scheduled to last for 20 rounds. Between you all and I, I hope that you end it earlier than that.

Radiance blasts Tillik with a ray and he falls to the floor, unconscious.

As Verity steps around the corner to get at Tillik's unconscious body Magic-14 makes a shot that misses, but Nate follows up with a shot that hits squarely.

Mia hefts her assault hammer then swings at Chk'tarlsh.

assault hammer vs KAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Chk'tarlsh's armour hold up against the blow.

The drone slams again into Chk'tarlsh.

Drone Slam vs KAC: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

But Chk'tarlsh weathers the assault.

Shenvyzam struggles within Valeron's grip.

Escape DC 26: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Max tries to join in the fun by popping up from behind the crate and firing at Verity but with everyone in the way his shot hits the wall above the door.

Trick attack (stealth): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 (DC 20 + target's CR) Success = Extra damage and flat-footed
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Just confirming in case it's archaic or something I am unaware of, but isn't that 2 damage I should be taking from the drone's slam?

"Thanksh for the asssissst," Chk'tarlsh says over the comm to Valeron as the suli grabs the vesk from behind. Heeding his partner's suggestion, he turns his attention to the foe blocking his way to the flag, swiping at Mia twice with his long sword.

Long sword 1: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 4 = 18
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Long sword 2: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 5 - 4 = 11
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

yeah, 2 damage. I thought you had 18 KAC for some reason

Chk'tarlsh swipes at Mia with his sword and makes a nasty slash to her midsection. His follow up shot does not connect however as she recoils away.

Max fires and catches Verity-5 off guard.

Valeron attempts to renew grapple, and if exceeds KAC+8, will attempt to re-position him

Grapple: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Hmm think that didn't work.

Valeron attempts to keep his hold on the enemy, and tries to budge him out of the way for Chk'tarlsh's escape. Unfortunately, the suli fails to keep his grip.

Hoping the combined attacks of the group will finish off their opponents quickly, Max takes another shot.

Trick attack (stealth): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 (DC 20 + target's CR) Success = Extra damage and flat-footed
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

With Rafelo right outside the door, Nate turns and fires at him before moving away from the door.

Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

I wasn't in bold after the last GM post but was in the previous so If I'm not supposed to go, Ignore my action.

Nate pops Rafelo in the shoulder before moving away.

Radiance takes a moment to move and line up another shot. She fires out into the hallway, before asking over the inter-helmet comms, "Valeron, Chk you two okay? You've been being awfully silent over there." She then gives Magic a thumbs up over the nice take down.

Holy fire BURN (Azimuth Laser Rifle): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Half-fire, half-holy damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Radiance fires, but misses Rafelo.

Mia and the drone both attack Chk'tarlsh

While Shenvyzam attacks Valeron

Rafelo makes a retreat.

Radiance gives a the retreating form of the man a happy looking scowl before realizing that it's not good that he might be able to gang up on their two friends still out in the rest of the ship. She looks over to Magic and N8 and quickly gestures for them to move out. [i]0"We shouldn't let him get away. There's still another two of them out there and a drone if I'm remembering correctly. 4 vs. 2 is not good numbers. Magic, N8 get out there and delay him if you can. Me and max can hold this room for a little bit if need be!" She moves up into the small room in front of their bunker and readies a shot in case an enemy crosses into view.

Nodding to Radiance, Magic-14 double moves and catches up with Rafelo, drawing his dagger as he does.

"Not so fast friend"

Nate Double Moves chasing after Magic and Rafelo.

"Valeron, Chk'tarlsh we got one retreating back towards you."

Max nods at Radiance's suggestion as he watches the other two bolt from the room. "Maybe you should go with them in case someone needs healing. Since we know where the rest of their group is, I should be able to keep the flags safe on my own," he suggests to her.

"Valeron, Chk you two okay? You've been being awfully silent over there."

"Valeron, Chk'tarlsh we got one retreating back towards you."

A chittering laugh can be heard over the comms as the shirren soldier evades another round of attacks. "Nothinhk we can't handle," Chk'tarlsh replies as he retaliates with another pair of slashes at Mia. "Jussst clearinhk a doorway."

Long sword 1: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 4 = 3
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Long sword 2: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 4 = 21

Critical Damage?: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"Thanksh for the warninhk. We'll keep an eye out for them. We should have thissh flag ssoon."

Mia goes down under Chk'tarlsh's second, well placed strike.

After losing his grip, Valeron tries to sucker punch Shenvyzam in attempts to knock him out!

Unarmed strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 NL: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Valeron punches Shenvyzam hard in the side of the head and she falls to the floor, unconscious. As she falls her drone does inactive also.

Rafelo turns and swings at Magic-14, trying to make some space for himself.

Tactical Baton: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The baton misses and Rafelo starts to panic.

"Doorway clear." As Mia drops to the floor, Chk'tarlsh spins to face his next foe, just in time to watch Valeron dispatch the vesk with a well-placed punch. "Nicce work, Valeron," the shirren says over comms, inclining his head toward the suli. "We're all clear over here. Movinhk in for their flag," he updates the crew.

Chk'tarlsh pauses as he enters the room, his mukti-faceted eyes scanning for signs of traps or anything unusual.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

If it appears safe to do so, he will continue over to collect the flag.

Watching Rafelo turn and swing at Magic, Nate yells "Duck!" and fires 2 shots at Rafelo.

azimuth laser pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 4 = 2
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
azimuth laser pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 4 = 18

Survival Knife: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Slashing damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Chk'tarlsh looks around, sees no traps and grabs the flag.

Nate shoots wide trying to miss Magic-14, but finds his aim for his second shot. Magic-14's knife scrapes across Rafelo's armour, just not making it through.

Hearing that all but one of the opposing fighters has gone down, Radiance decides to open the defensive perimeter around their flags. "Good work Chk, Valeron! With most of the threats out of the way, I think we can build up a better defensive position. I'm going to move up. Max keep an eye on the flags, will you?" She quickly threads her way through the hallways, and plops herself down in the first major off branch of the hallways.

"All in a day's work!" Valeron mutters with a smug look, as he nods and retreats himself towards the base, supporting magic-14 along the way.

Double Move.

Max nods and gives her a casual salute as he hops up on a crate to sit and wait for the end of the event. He doesn't take his eye off of the door though.

You are clearly going to take Rafelo down. Does anyone mind if I handwave this last combat?

Im ok with it.

Go for it.

Both Lethea and Quell congratulate you for a job well done, as the Head Hunters are assisted from the set by production assistants. They are quietly chuckling about how easily you handled the opposition.

A wash of sparkling confetti and the sound of upbeat brass instruments heralds the arrival of Zo! onto the stage. The undead mogul effortlessly swings a microphone in one hand, while casually pointing and smiling at members of the live studio audience. As the music calms, Zo! turns to provide both teams with a shot from his finger guns before addressing the audience. Trials and tribulations! Drama and intrigue! Dangerous obstacles and murderous animals rendered into appetizers! Really folks, we have it all, don’t we!?

Zo! revels in the crowd’s adulation for a few seconds before a blinking red-screen causes the assembled masses to stop, save for a few lagging zombies who continue. Now, if it were up to me, I’d call each of these teams a winner! But this is prime-time vidcasting, so there simply has to be a winner! If there wasn’t, well, all of you might kill me—for a second time, that is!

So, for this episode of Pact World Warriors, the winning team is The Starfinder Society”

A second rain of confetti follows, this time accompanied with lightly falling balloons covered in comical cartoon visages of Zo!’s face. Lethea and Quell go on to take over the ending broadcast, saying goodbye to the viewing audience and encouraging the you to return for future shows.

The lights dim and the crew then escorts you back toward a shuttle bound for Absalom Station, where a jubilant Radaszam awaits. On your way to your shuttle you cross paths with the Head Hunters as they are heading to theirs. Their faces are scowling as the limp up the accessway. Mia Moxie shouts over to you. This isn't the last time you'll see me. In fact I think I will be visiting you all sometime real soon. It wont be a gameshow then, it will be a full-on fight night spectacular

You pass the time on the shuttle trip with Radaszam who offers refreshments and listens to your retelling of tales from your journey.

3 days later you arrive back at Absalom Station, at which point Radaszam escorts you to the Lorespire Complex for a more thorough debriefing with First Seeker Luwazi Elsebo.

Within the Lorespire Complex, Radaszam leaves you all in a waiting room while he goes to confer with First Seeker Luwazi Elsebo prior to the debriefing. While you wait you notice a well-stocked and eerily familiar food assortment waiting on the currently abandoned reception desk. One of the vidscreens behind the reception desk is active and displaying a live news feed. A ryphorian news anchor explains that the Stewards are investigating an incident involving a shuttle explosion over Eox that claimed the lives of several Pact Worlds citizens and the rival team on Pact World Warriors. While the investigation has yet to conclude, there’s some leaked evidence that may point to the Starfinder Society’s involvement.

At that moment, a shirren arrives with a second basket for the food arrangement, as well as an accompanying letter. One of the apples in the second basket has a single bite taken out of it, and the unsigned card that accompanies the basket reads: I don’t like people who fail me, but I’m really starting to like all of you. The shirren courier has no information on who arranged the basket, only that it was commissioned through funds associated with AbadarCorp.

We are done. Thank you all. I will get chronicles out shortly.
