"Oh this is such a nail biter! I wonder what the Rivals have planned!" Zo! is on the edge of his seat, clapping in anticipation.

The Flags: This competition involves three heavy flags. Each team begins in possession of one flag, which must be displayed prominently and cannot be stored in a bag, extradimensional space, or any other compartment. Each flag is 3 bulk, due to the use of dense metals in its construction. You can place their flag in a square, or one of them can hold onto the object. A third unclaimed flag rests near the center of the ship.

Deger pulls himself through the doorway...

Athletics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

And has to take time to reorient himself again.

"This is vhy I vanted to stay put."

Frank spends an action to re-steady himself in the cornenr then covers the hallway

Move action to steady, Standard to ready to shoot an opposing team member if they come down the hall

Checking in, in Lurker mode since I pre-posted on Friday.

Smek watches the brief exchange between the Rivals, he quick surveys the area trying to guess what they might be planning.

Rafelo steadies himself with a move action, and pushes off.

Rafelo's acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

But he fails to stop properly, and winds up off-kilter!

Meanwhile, Verity calls out to Smek with a command spell. "You! Drop that flag!"

Smek's Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Smek has no flag, but cannot help but release the beacon with the illusion attached to it.

Tillik tries once again to garrote Smek.

Stealth Trick Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
Garrotte: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Slashing Damage: 1d2 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Screw this!" Mia Moxie leaves her base, moving purposefully towards the action.

Athletics, Moxie: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Athletics, Shonyvyzam: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Although she cannot help but go off-kilter as she tries to stop her move, Shonyvzam smiles as she gets closer to the floating illusionary flag.

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

Then the GM opens Smek's spoiler, and whoops with surprise. Holy smack, Smek!

Smek surprises everyone -- including himself -- with a critical hit that downs his Pahtra opponent!

Verity yells, "Tillik, no!"

And yes, the cat starts bleeding as an unintended consequence of that critical hit, but since the attack was non-lethal, I am ruling that he does not enter the dying state as a result. Still you, may want to stop that bleeding!

"The rat popped the cat!" Zo! watches eagerly. "That's one rival down!"

"This time, I am onto you, Opponent-Verity-5! Dodge THIS!" Zez'ka twitches and jerks around, then fires her gun at Verity while her head is upside down.

Acrobatics Trick Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
Ranged Attack vs. KAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Moxie

================================

Smek (-8, NL)
Rose-5 and Spinning Falcon
Tyus

================================

"TRIUMPHANT!" Zez'ka trills proudly.

Rose-5 continues her slow advance toward the front lines, but most of her attention is focused on helping Falcon prepare to fire.

Acrobatics vs. off kilter: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

This time, she actually manages to move around the corner gracefully.
Seeing the wounded Smek and the flag on the floor, she calls out, "Are you OK up there, Smek? Did they ambush you?"

With a bit of help from Rose, Spinning Falcon makes a full attack on Verity.

Spinning Falcon's full attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Spinning Falcon's static arc pistol electric damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Spinning Falcon's full attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Spinning Falcon's static arc pistol electric damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

"Bah!" Falcon calls out. "Blasted pistol. You won't be so lucky next time, Verity!"

Hearin the the way. Frank decides to push off down the halls.

Push 1 Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

But hits the corner without much grace and then spends the next action reorienting himself.

I just noticed that boot clamps give a bonus to the stopping check

Deger continues trying to stick with Frank. Once next to the other dwarf he turns sideways and tries to stick to the wall.

Athletics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Tyus rights herself again, grits her teeth, and launches herself, finally, into the main chamber.

Alas, Spinning Falcon misses Verity, and everyone else spends time repositioning this round.

The rest of Team Rival (minus the unconscious Tillik) can act!

Verity spends a full action to do a healing channel since she and Tillik are in BAD shape.

Healing Channel: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 3) = 11

Tillik stabilizes, and his eyes flutter open!
Shonyvyzam opens her hand, and says, "Come to me flag!" The beacon shoots to her and she stares at it puzzled for a half-second and then shouts, "This was an illusion!"

Mia Moxie pushes forward.

Athletics+Boots: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 4 = 23

Rafelo kicks off a door to stabilize his movement, and then pushes forward. Then he attempts to stop, using the boot clamps on his suit. Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 4 = 15

Moxie laughs. "Just hang upside down and yell, 'Get 'em' sweetheart. I'm gonna go dwarf huntin'."

Zez'ka twitches around some more, flailing in place as she shoots her gun at Verity-5 once again. "Not enough, Opponent-Verity-5! You'll have to do better to defeat us! Certain!"

Trick Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Ranged Attack vs. KAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Trick Attack Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Assuming someone calls me and Frank to let us know the jig is up...

"Frank, get behind me. I don't doubt you can take of yourself but you have the flag and I don't."

I'll ready another action to poke any enemy that gets in poking range.

Degus, I am assuming that you are all communicating to each other via the comms, and that Zo! Is recording every conversation for posterity!

Degus readies. Zez'ka manages to hit but not trick Verity!

Smek (-8, NL)
Rose-5 and Spinning Falcon
Tyus

================================

Frank, Smek, Rose-5, Spinning Falcon and Tyus are up!

Smek watches as the pathra goes from bleeding out to stabilizing, and as the beacon whirls across the ship. "For what it's worth, I'm glad you weren't hurt too badly. You've got some skills... For a cute kitty-kitty." Smek gives Tillik a more friendly smile before pressing the combat.

Trick Attack/Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38
Attack/KAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage/P: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Trick Damage/P: 1d4 ⇒ 2

"I'm sorry Verity, but if you keep healing people we're going to have to knock you out. And Moxie, a beacon? I expected something move creative!"

Frank bounces to the next corner.

Athletics : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

Keeping balance this time, he then readies to shoot one of the other team that becomes visible.

Botting Spinning Falcon

Spinning Falcon's full attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Spinning Falcon's static arc pistol : 1d6 ⇒ 6
Spinning Falcon's full attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Spinning Falcon's static arc pistol : 1d6 ⇒ 6

Verity-5 goes down!

Botting Tyus

Tyus, inspired by Spinning Falcon, full attacks Shonyvyzam!

Subzero Pistol full attack vs EAC: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18
Cold, Piercing, Bleed: 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + (2) = 5

Subzero Pistol full attack vs EAC: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (17) - 2 = 15
Cold+Piercing : 1d4 ⇒ 1

Botting Rose-5

Not wanting to leave her teammates in the lurch, Rose-5 moves forward and positions!

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Rafelo takes a move action to right himself, and then tries to daze Frank!

Frank, give me a DC 15 will save or be dazed for a round.

Meanwhile, Moxie goes dwarf hunting!

Athletics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Assault Hammer: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Alas, she's so hyped up that she misses Frank!

Shonyvyzam turns her ire on Tyus...

Bruiser decoupler: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Acid Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

...and misses her utterly.

Tillik takes a move action to right himself in freefall, and then attacks Smek!

Trick attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31
Wire garotte: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Slashing: 1d2 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Trick attack damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

But Smek is too dodgy for him!

Smek (-8, NL)
Rose-5 and Spinning Falcon
Tyus

================================

Does the move action to right himself open Tillik to an AoO?

"Sorry Verity," Smek frowns slightly before refocusing on Tillik, "Are you sure you want to continue without a healer ready?" He continues to use the Zero-G motion to conceal his strikes.

Trick Attack/Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24
Attack/KAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage/P: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Trick Damage/P: 1d4 ⇒ 4

"Moxie, there's no shame in conceding to a superior foe. Many cultures even embrace it. Just saying..." He continues to taunt the Rival's leader hoping to edge her into a mistake.

Since standing does not provoke, moving from off-kilter to standing does not provoke either.

Smek continues his successful assault on Tillik!

Meanwhile, Moxie says over the comm, "Bite me, Rat. Or maybe I'll bite you once I am done with these two dwarves!"

Smek (-8, NL)
Rose-5 and Spinning Falcon
Tyus

================================

Rose-5 turns to Moxie, "Always with the threats, Moxie. I thought Moxie was supposed to mean determination, not rudeness. No matter. We'll just have to see what threats you have to offer after you lose this contest."

But she doesn't have a clear line of sight to Moxie, and she's not going to waste all the time she spent lumbering down the hall backtracking. Instead, since she doesn't need to move, she'll attack and guide Spinning Falcon to attack twice.

In the voice of a cheesy cartoon narrator, she says, "Falcon Rose Falcon Triple Attack!!" as she and Falcon target Shonyvyzam.

pulsecaster pistol attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
pulsecaster electricity damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

"That was just a warm-up..." she mutters.

In an attempt to keep Rose-5's spirits high, Spinning Falcon jumps in to her hammy attack routine.
"Triple Attack Affirmative! Target acquired, lock on and fire!"
Spinning Falcon's full attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Spinning Falcon's static arc pistol: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Spinning Falcon's full attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Spinning Falcon's static arc pistol: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"ERROR ERROR ERROR Target Not Found. Commence location protocol."

Deger shakes his head and moves on down the corridor. He tries to stop himself at the wall and reattach his boot clamps.

Athletics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

"Bite this, halfling!" Deger shouts as he thrusts his pike.

Stabby vs KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Pierce damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

I'm not sure if Frank and I are flanking Moxie or not. Do you have a gun or melee weapon out Frank?

"You're next!" Zez'ka exclaims, pointing at Shonyvyzam. She spasms and twitches around erratically, then fires her gun,

Trick Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
Ranged Attack vs. KAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Trick Attack Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Will SV: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Not phased by the spell.

Frank has the Rotolaser out When Moxie popped out:

Laser Ready action: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 v EAC

With the opponent near by. Frank lets go of the Rotolaser and lets is hang in front of him. Then pulls out his pick and swings it at Moxie

Pick v EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Pick Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 So

Rose-5 and Spinning Falcon shoot wildly at Shonyvyzam, but Zez'ka hits! Deger attempts to hit Moxie, but does not yet have the flanking advantage with Frank. Frank shakes off Rafelo's daze spell. Although Frank's readied shot misses, his attack with the sonic pick hits Moxie squarely.

Botting Tyus

Tyus tries to repeat her amazing success from last round vs Shonyvyzam!

Subzero Full Attack vs Shonvyzam: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (17) - 2 = 15
Cold+Piercing: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Subzero Full Attack vs Shonvyzam: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2

She does manage to hit once.

Tillik attempts once more to get Smek!

Stealth Trick attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
Wire Garotte: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Slashing: 1d2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Trick Attack: 1d4 ⇒ 4

"Maybe if I tighten this a bit more you will stop talking?" the pahtra asks hopefully.

Shonyvyzam takes some bleed damage...

Bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 1

...but it is minimal and she keeps going. Deciding that Zez'ka is the worse threat, the vesk targets the shirren.

Bruiser decoupler: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Acid Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Disappointed that Frank shook off his daze, Rafelo shouts "Get'em, girl" while pointing at Frank. Then Rafelo shoots.

Azimuth laser pistol+Get 'em: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8
Fire Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Then Moxie goes. "I'll get him, but I'm no one's girl!"

Full Attack Assault hammer: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 6
Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Full Attack Assault hammer: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 10
Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

In her fury, she bangs a hole in the wall next to Frank!

================================

Frank continues to dance with Moxie:

Pick v EAC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 6 - 4 = 11
Pick Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 So

Pick v EAC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 4 = 4
Pick Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 So

Smek grimaces as Tillik cuts off his air momentarily, "GAWK! There's some fight! Not enough, but still some." He grins impishly as he uses the momentum from the attack to continue lazy twists and hide his attacks.

Trick Attack/Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38
Attack/KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage/P: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Trick Damage/P: 1d4 ⇒ 4

"Moxie, your kitty-kitty is trying his best. Still not up to Starfinder par, but with some training. Interested?"

Rose chuckles at Falcon, "If at first you don't succeed...assess the probability of success, rather than succumbing to the gambler's fallacy, and try again if it is prudent to do so." She clears her throat, "I said Falcon Rose Falcon Triple Attack!"

She and Falcon give the attacks on Shonyvyzam another try.

pulsecaster pistol attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
pulsecaster electricity damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

"Targeting system rebooted. Targeting system online." A pair of electrical arcs zooms out from Falcon's static arc pistol.

Spinning Falcon's full attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Spinning Falcon's static arc pistol: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Spinning Falcon's full attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Spinning Falcon's static arc pistol: 1d6 ⇒ 3

One misses wildly, arcing into the ceiling, but the other at least looks like it may reach its target, or at least come close.

"Targeting computer performance satisfactory."

"Aha!" Zez'ka exclaims, continuing to twitch around wildly. "I am too unpredictable Nemesis-Shonyvyzam! Better luck next time!"

Trick Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Ranged Attack vs. KAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Trick Attack Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

"You seem stressed Moxie. Let me help vith that." Deger concentrates for a second and then Moxie is inundated with psychic information. "Oops. Help, harm. Sometimes I mix those up."

Mind Thrust Damage: 2d10 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Casting Mind Thrust. DC 13 will save for half damage.

Frank's dance with Moxie does another seen damage, then Deger mind thrusts!

Moxie's Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

"Yowww!" Moxie exclaims.

Smek slips in under Tillik's guard, and renders the Pahtra unconscious.

The Rose-5, Spinning Falcon and Zez'ka triple attack likewise takes out Shonvyzam!

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Tyus grabs the green flag, claiming it for the Starfinder Seven. "I've got the flag! Go get Moxie!"

Rafelo looks to Moxie. "Um, isn't this where we surrender?"

"Surrendering's not my style, pretty boy!" Then she looks to Frank and Deger, a thoughtful expression coming over her face. "You lot weren't the pushovers I thought, though. It's an honor going down to warriors like yourselves. Pretty boy, give me my get 'em!"

Rafelo sighs. "Get 'em. Whatever." Then he drops his weapon and raises both hands in the air. "I surrender! Not in the face!"

Moxie whacks Deger with her assault hammer. "That's for the headache, dwarf!"

Assault Hammer: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Did Moxie step towards me? I'm using a reach weapon from 10 feet away. Either way...

"You've done vell yourself Moxie. The honor is all mine though." Deger stabs at Moxie in return.

Stabby vs KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Pierce damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Unfortunately he stabs poorly.

Ah, missed that you had a reach weapon out. Still, she would have missed either of you!

Deger stabs poorly, but offers Frank a flank on Moxie.

Smek looks to Tyus, "Any chance for somme quick heally magic-spelly stuff before I scamp off to more high-jinx?"

"Thanks Moxie, your team is putting up a worthy effort. Taunts aside, this has been amazing fun!"

Smek will delay to last, seeing if any healing comes his way. Don't waste a healing item, just looking for a spell if there's any to be had."

Click. Whirr.

BOTTING TYUS

"I trained to be a technomancer. Healing spells weren't even offered as part of our training course. All I have is a healing serum."

I think it is down to items. Do you all have any serums left from Zo!'s care packages?
