Dawnfriend stands up, shaking his head to clear it. He sees the package in the hands of the blue-clad ysoki and says, "Give that back!"

Move action: Stand up (no AoO). Standard action: Grapple blue ysoki.

Grapple attack, grappler ability: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 vs. KAC+8

"Ae, naw ya don't!" shouts Mincey as she chases after the ysoki with the package in order to cut him off.

Acrobatics to tumble: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

She then slashes at the perp with her blade.

Melee Attack (knife, tactical): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage(S)(knife, tactical): 1d4 ⇒ 3

The party swarms around the blue mall rat but only Rizzit gets a hit.

Dawnfriend sees the ysoki slashing with the knife. "Be careful! You'll get blood on the ambassador's mementos!"

The ysoki says to the remaining one: I told you to go away. Now the justice will occur upon you. We are in self-defense against you.

He casts an Energy Ray. Electricity, against EAC

Energy ray: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Akkedis moves to grab the small Ysoki, "Now there, that doesn't belong to you does it?"

The Ray hits the blue one. And he takes this as an opportunity to get out there

Staff dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 4 B

Reflex 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Reflex 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

He misses with the swipe and is then staggered with the grenade blast.

Though staggered, the hyper skittermander rushes to grab at the ysoki.

Using my hyper ability to get my move action back this turn. Move over to him and attempt to grapple again. If someone can move me right next to.him on map, I would appreciate it, as I am on my phone.

Grapple attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Reflex 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Reflex 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Yersin is unphased by the grenades.

"I said that didn't belong to you." He sets his static arc pistol to stun, move action and takes aim at the thief, missing wildly.

Nonlethal Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Nonlethal Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Had a crit in there when I was going to nonlethal trick attack, before I remembered setting my weapon to stun as a move action was a thing. :(

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Mincey remains on her feet.

"Datzzit! I warnz'd ya!" Scurrying over to the nearest thief, she whirls her blade with blinding speed.

Melee Attack (knife, tactical): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage(S)(knife, tactical): 1d4 ⇒ 1
Trick Shot (Stealth): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

Let this package down.

The ysoki unleashes a new Energy ray against the blue one.

Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Botting Akkedis

Staggered he still moves up to support and continue to threaten the thieves.

Zap boom. Ahhhhh! Sizzle! Whee.
Some hits and blue and red are fleeing in the crowd. They have soft cover

Swish

Mall Rat, Red - dmg; shaken
Mall Rat, Blue - 7 dmg; 1 package
Mall Rat, green - dmg fatigued

"Owta mwy way!" snaps Mincey as she spots the ysoki (blue) taken off with the package. Slipping her blade in her mouth, then crouching down on all fours, the ysoki takes off like a gray streak, scurrying through the grass and leaping back onto the walkway.

Provokes AoO if ysoki had a melee weapon.

Approaching the package-stealing ysoki, she leaps into the air, unclenches the blade from her teeth, and attempts to bury into the thief's back.

Melee Attack (knife, tactical): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage(S)(knife, tactical): 1d4 ⇒ 2
Trick Shot (Stealth): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23
Additional Damage(S)(knife, tactical with Trick Shot): 1d4 ⇒ 2

Dawnfriend runs after the ysoki carrying the package. He attempts to fatigue this ysoki as well. He runs past, trying to get ahead of the ysoki And triggering AoO on me

fatigue spell touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

He misses.

If he runs, I will whack at him ...

Thanks for botting, weekends tend to be tough for me.

Akkedis continues to try and grab the tiny Ysoki before it flees with the package, "Damnable little..."

Grapple: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

"I have provided you with sufficient warnings."

Yersin runs up behind the escaping blue ysoki, manipulating the package of floating blocks while doing so, distracting the ysoki long enough that a stun blast is able to hit him square in the gut.

Trick Attack(engineering): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
Attack(blue): 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 2 = 19 vs. EAC
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 non-lethal electricity
Trick Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

The last one was my last warning.

The ysoki unleashes a magic missiles volley on the blue one.

Magic missiles, full round: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4, 1) + 3 = 12

Seeing everyone chase down blue, Yersin hits the escaping thief, but it is Twisted's magic missiles that are needed to bring him down.

Seeing the display of fairly extensive magic and considering that living is a good idea, the remaining two thieve flee in to the crowds with out any packages.

Out of rounds unless you want to pursue.

Akkedis will try to stabilize the Ysoki if it's possible, and will call for law enforcement. "Sorry Hammer, unfortunately even on Absalom there are elements of poverty and desperation. The Starfinders do what they can to help, but these are difficult problems to solve."

Once the scene has been cleared, and the authorities give the ok, "Shall return the packages to your room and move to dinner?"

Dawnfriend casts stabilize if possible to save the ysoki.

I'm so sorry you had to assist at such a scene. As you have noticed, we tried to speak to them. We can't let thieves robb without doing anything. And we can't let thieves robb your value, sir.

Mincey points a finger at her still full check pouches, and manages to say, "I sh'pose yer gwonna wahnt dweeze back, huh?"

Hammer looks over the situation. "[b]I apprecaite the controled amount of force you used. Mostly. " She eyes Rizzit a bit but continues. "[b]But I agree, let us secure these packages and recover with a light meal.

You are able to stabilize and allow the authorities to take the unconsious ysoki with them. And then prepare for dinner.

Do you wish to do anything to prepare before heading to the dazzling food of the station.

Hammer looks over the situation. "I apprecaite the controled amount of force you used. Mostly. " She eyes Rizzit a bit but continues. "But I agree, let us secure these packages and recover with a light meal.

"Wut?!" squeaks Mincey. "Dat wuzz c'ntrol'd fours! I only cuttz wunna dem!"

The ysoki cleans the blood from her blade and outfit in preparation of dinner.

Ready to go eat!

As they walk back the packages, "So is there a type of meal you've heard about Hammer? Or shall provide some options of popular venues?" Akkedis whispers to the group, "I am not one for fine dining… Do you have any suggestions?"

Fortunately the host isn't angry about the magic missile and the ysoki didn't dies but could be given to the police.

We could go to the "Finest of the Ysokis". That's a good restaurant.

Hammer speaks. "The guide data I reviewed suggests that Perfexion is the place to try what foods the pact worlds have to offer. We should make our way there."

Finding the establisment is easy enough. It is currently one of the Top 5 Hot Eateries as seen on the wildly popular [i]Burn my Wallet or Burn my Stomach! (another fine show from Zo!) So the buzz is about.

Reflective walls and an understated sign mark the location of Perfexion, one of Absalom Station’s most exclusive restaurants. A small crowd of well-dressed hopefuls lingers near the door while a red-velvet cordon keeps them back from passing into the establishment’s entryway.

Two well dressed vesk greet and then check their lists before allowing entry to the establishment.

Seeing the hopefuls in single-file by the cordon, prompts Mincy to reach for the pummel of her knife. "Shall we...'cut'..in line?" she asks with a mischievous grin. "If ya know wut I mean?"

”Perhaps we should just explain the situation to these nice Vesk first Mincey.”

Diplomacy Aid: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

And by that I mean clearly someone else should.

The burly Vesk places a friendly hand on Mincey's shoulder, "Better for the dinner plate than the help my spicy friend, but keep up the tone as I speak." Akkedis grins broadly at the little joke, then turns to the Vesk manning the host-station.

Using a few skills if I can, but Intimidate is the lead.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Prof(Orator)/Sound legit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

The lawyer advances and says to the vesks: Good evening, my name's Twisted Nicknick. I'm the famous lawyer. Here is my card. I'm coming with friends and this sir is a Trox dignitary. He would like to honor your establishment with his presence. Think about the reputation you could get if he's delighted by your services. On the other hand I've to point you the article 356 of the Absalom code which says directly that you must serve "every stranger dignitary visiting Absalom if she wishes to". So I hope for your understanding.

Profession lawyer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

The burly Vesk places a friendly hand on Mincey's shoulder, "Better for the dinner plate than the help my spicy friend, but keep up the tone as I speak."

Mincey nods, though the look on her face notes a bit of confusion.

Dinner plate?! Spicy!? Did he just threaten to eat me?!

Despite her new reservations about Akkedis (and her lack of reservations for dinner), she tries her best to follow the vesk's lead. Once he begins to speak, the ysoki waits for an opportunity to interject. However, without an understanding of the vesk tongue, all she can do is patiently wait until her ally appears to have finished speaking before punctuating his words with a simple, "Yeah, wutt he sedd!

Intimidate (aid another): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Somewhat taken aback by Akkedis's demand then seeing the ysoki glaring from below, the nervous bouncers quickly review their data pads. After a somewhat furtive discussion between them, one turns and smiles, hoping that you did not take any disrespect. "Yes. The Starfinder dingnitary. This way.[b]" Somewhat thinking quick on his feet. "[b]Yes we have the private room for you all ready"

As you walk though the see the other vesk mutter something about software glitches with the reservation systems.

Elegant, transparent furnishings and multicolored lights fill this luxurious space with an ethereal glow. At each table, a small group of socialites watches in awe as dexterous chefs prepare food in a show that is as much acrobatic as culinary. Liveried waitstaff move between the tables, bringing beverages and clearing plates. A floor-to-ceiling holographic aquarium fills one wall between a pair of staircases, and large windows provide a breathtaking view of Jatembe Park.

After being seated and getting the first round of drinks. A Lashunta appears at your table. "I am Xenion, and I will be your chef for tonight. In order to better prepare the best Perfexion I would like to scan you thoughts to see what will truly excite your senses tonight. It is just is just a surface scan and I promise to keep it only to the cuisine at hand"

Yersin gives the lashunta a skeptical look.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

If he doesn’t detect anything unsavory, he gives a nod and has obvious thoughts of stinky cheeses and other fermented foods.

Akkedis motions for the dignitary to follow, grinning "I'm glad they were able to find our reservations. We Vesk have a unique and rich cultural background making such dialogs lively. Learning about different cultures is an added advantage to the Starfinders."

He looks skeptically at the Lashunta, "Surface thoughts only? I suppose this could be amusing. Please do." He volunteers to go first to make sure the process isn't uncomfortable or overly intrusive.

"Ah ritez, scan my brain if ya must. But I ain'tz respons'ble for wuttevah ya muie find in 'dere." declares Mincey.

Dawnfriend helpfully allows himself to be scanned.

With everyone's consent, the chef does the scan and goes to retrieve ingredients. Then back a the table he puts together a artful collection of fruits, fish, and greens.

Everyone gets a taste and it is quite delightful. Something in there really speaks to your tastebuds.

Everyone can make a Medicine Check

Not trained

Also untrained

No medicine here... A so goes another weary soul into the great beyond...?

"Hmm, this isn't quite what I had in mind..."
Medicine: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Yersin realizes quickly that the area around the mandibles of Hammer seem swell due do some allergic reaction. It seems something in the dish isn't compatible with the Trox's system.

”Hammer of Hylax, are you ok?”
Is there another check that can be made to help out?

Hammer currently seems not to notice her condition. "This is quite lovely. A curious flavor that is a delight to experience"

You will need to convince her otherwise.

Akkedis will us his comm camera to show the Hammer the changes in her appearance... "Perhaps there is a new food item in the meal you've not had before?"

Diplomacy/Assist highest skill mod: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
