A Ysoki pops up next to the shobhad woman, with a squeaking battle cry it fires on...

Red Ysoki Attack/Varanus:EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage/F: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

A bright flash from the Ysoki's pistol sends a searing beam into Varanus' chest.

Letting out a kasathan war cry, Sen dashes up to the ysoki that has shown itself. unsheathing his doshko as he moves.

"Can you fight aside from pointing a pew-pew device? I'm about to find out!"

Looking up at the adversaries that have now made themselves known, Varanus's mouth splits into a grin "I appreciate when my enemies group up. It means I need to spend less energy."
As he is talking, he grabs the cylinder off of his chest, and chucks it between the Ysoki and other enemy.
Incdendiary Grenade I: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5{Quick Draw} {Bombard +5ft} Attack on top right Square of M 5ft Radius, Will hit M and Red Y- Reflex DC 14 for half

Bud moves to behind of varanus, next to Minea.
Hunting Rifle is ready.

If Varanus or Minea got attack, Bud use Bodyguard feat.

Y BLUE
Minea <- Surprised

Ref/Shobahd: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Ref/Red Ysoki: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

The shobhad manages to abvoid most of the blast, while the Ysoki is engulfed in the flames and continues to smolder.

As Bud moves forward, another BLUE Ysoki pops up and fires at...
Target/Marching order: 1d5 ⇒ 5… Bud.
Attack/Bud:EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Damage/F: 1d4 ⇒ 3
The Ysoki's laser strikes Bud in the shoulder, the pain barely causes the half-orc to miss a step.

The Shobhad bellows, "LEAVE! We'll never allow you to stop Talbot! Stop our savior!" She glares intently at...
Target/Marching order: 1d5 ⇒ 4… Alejandro and he feels his mind wracked.
Mindthrust: 2d10 ⇒ (8, 8) = 16 Will DC 14 for half

HIGH ROLL OUCH!

Will Save DC 14: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Alejandro feels the pressure coming down hard on his brain and instead of attempting to fight it as usual, he just steps to the side mentally and takes a glancing blow. He pulls out his laser pistol and points at the woman, "She ain't the one we want, take her out!"

Move to draw pistol, Move to use Get 'Em on the mean lady, +1 to hit her for the next round.

GM NOTE-Burn damage is dealt at the start of the characters turn (2hp, already added), Ref save at the end to remove with DC=10+damage from burn. DC 12

The Ysoki winces and squeaks as trails of smoke roll from its body and armor. It still raises its pistol toward Varanus, vengeance glistening in its eyes.
Attack/Varanus:EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Damage/F: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Crit Damage/F: 1d4 ⇒ 2
The little Ysoki can't help but let out a victorious whoop as the beam strikes Varanus leaving a large patch of blackened flesh visible to all.

Ref/DC 12: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Apparently, hopping triumphantly is also effective at putting out the remaining flames from the grenade.

Varanus grits hits teeth, unslings his artillery laser from his shoulder, thumbs the safety and unleashes two shots at the Ysoki which shot him.
Attack 1 of 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Damage/F 1 of 2: 1d10 ⇒ 8
Attack 2 of 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Damage/F 2 of 2: 1d10 ⇒ 4
Putting out the Fire: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

"I'll do my best, but I've got a flunky problem in the way!" Sen yells back to Alejandro.

Holding his doshko out in a protective position, Sen inches closer to the woman, trying to create an opportunity to make an attack.

Sen is going to take a guarded step. I'm not sure what the terrain is like here, but if where he moved isn't difficult terrain and the woman is within striking distance, he'll swing at her. If not, he swings at Red Ysoki.

Tactical Doshko: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Bud shoots target who marked by Alejandro.
hunting rifle: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

If adjacent ally got attack, Bud use Bodyguard feat.

Hey Sen, they are on a rise about 10 feet above you. Minor Botting Athletics roll for the leap up.
Athletics/Sen Jumping: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Sen moves forward and takes advantage of the planet's low gravity to leap to the top of the rise. As he lands he slashes at the shobhad narrowly missing her.

Varanus fires on the Ysoki, silencing its premature victory chants. He switches to the shobhad as the Ysoki falls striking her in the leg. Allow a target switch.

Bud fires his rifle but the shot goes wide.

The remaining Ysoki continues to fire on Bud.
Attack/Bud:EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Damage/F: 1d4 ⇒ 3
But the shot strikes the ground in front of Bud.

Minea jumps into action with a growl, apparently daydreaming is a bad pursuit during a mission. She rushes forwards, drawing her doshko and attempting to hop up onto the plateau like her ally and slash at the woman pointed out by Alejandro.

Move 25ft with jump in low gravity, Attack large sized lady.

Athletics - AC Penalty: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 - 2 = 19

Tactical Doshko vs. KAC + Get 'Em: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13 for Magic/Piercing: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

After her mighty slash, she takes a hand off her weapon and threatens to punch the crap out of any enemy that remains if stupid enough to continue provoking her wrath.

Swift to change grip, dropping one hand off her unwieldy doshko and allowing her to threaten with her battleglove.

Minea bounds across the sand ground and leaps to the top of the rise taking full advantage of the low gravity. As she lands her doshko cracks the stone next to the shobhad.

BOLD characters can act/NPCs are acting. Characters have acted.

The shobhad shakes with rage, "NO! NO! NO! You will NOT take our salvation from us!" She draws a staff and swings at... Target: 1d2 ⇒ 1; 1=Sen; 2=Minea
Attack/KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage/B: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
...Sen. Her swing brings the staff soundly into his ribs.

Alejandro yells at his allies, "Great work, finish off the lady and the other minion will flee!" Probably it will, hopefully the rat isn't suicidal.

He turns to his ally that just got thwacked, "Oh come on, you've been hit harder than that in a sparring match, brush it off!"

Move to keep Get 'Em up on the lady, +1 to hit her for one round. Standard to use Inspiring Boost on Sen, returning the 3 stamina points he lost back to full.

"That's the spirit!" Sen shouts at the woman that just hit him. "A great combatant knows how to dish it out. The problem for you is that you also have to know how to take it, too. Let me teach you."

Sen swings for the fences with his doshko at the woman who just hit him.

Tactical Doshko/KAC: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Nodding his understanding, Varanus shifts his aim and lets lasers fly.
Attack 1of2 EAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Damage/F 1of2: 1d10 ⇒ 6
Attack 2of2 EAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage/F 2of2: 1d10 ⇒ 3
Putting out the Fire: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Bud keep shooting.
Target is who marked by Alejandro.
hunting rifle: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 = 13
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Varanus and Bud can keep their ammo.

Sen swings his doshko, connecting with the shobhad's shoulder and neck. A "no..." escapes her lips as she collapses. Seeing their leader fall, the remaining Ysoki turns and flees.

Combat over, unless you choose to run down the Ysoki as it runs.

Alejandro let's him flee, "Well they probably already notified Talbot, if not it's fine to let that one go. Being scared of dying if they resist us is something I can work with."

He sits on a nearby stone outcropping, "That brain mojo she had is rough though, I need a few minutes to rest. See if those folks had anything valuable. Let's not make their deaths completely in vain."

Stupid a&+@#%! Talbot. Got these people all riled up, now two are dead. What a waste.

Spend 10 minutes and 1 RP to recover Stamina, 3 RP remaining.

Feel free to spend the RP and rest. Next map is up when the team is ready.

A sloping ramp descends to the west, made of hard-packed red dirt that shows signs of heavy vehicle traffic. The ramp opens into a large square chamber with rough walls. A metal track runs along the ground from a passage in the west wall and then turns north, ascending a five-foot ramp and then running along the north wall until the track terminates. A pair of metal lockers stand in the southeast corner, and a heap of ore is piled to the southwest.

Varanus sits down next to Alejandro, takes out a fresh battery and reloads. He gestures towards the shobhad. "What is that...thing? They definitely can cause some damage."
Varanus watches with interest as the remainder of the team pores over the fallen, and when he sees the team pull out a Mindlink Circlet Mk I, he excitedly shouts "Oh, I know what that is. That's a Mindlink Circlet. They allow you to speak into someone else's mind."
He reaches out for it, "Does anybody protest to my wearing this for the remainder of the mission?"

"Be my guest," Sen says to Varanus. "I'd like to call dibs on that woman's battle staff."

Once they reach the mine, Sen makes sure to have his doshko at the ready and cautiously steps into the room, looking around for any danger that could threaten the party. "Stay back, just in case anything decides to jump us," he instructs the non-militant members of the group.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Alejandro motions forwards into the cave, "I'm out of my element here a bit, probably shouldn't go first considering how they treated on the road. But maybe a show of force will convince anyone inside not to mess with us? I'll leave the tactical stuff to you talented folks and talk if talking becomes an option."

Minea creeps forwards, Doshko out and ready. Her boots crunch loudly on the gravel.

Stealth - AC Penalty: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 2 = 4

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15

Wearing his new Mindlink Circlet, Varanus walks in the room, sees the lockers, then goes over to inspect them.
Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Tread lightly...
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Bud has dark vision.

The mine enterance is unsurprising plain and functional. There is a set of tracks with automated mine carts. It looks like the carts roll to the end, when some other machines tip them pouring out the contents to any waiting receptacle. One of the carts is piled with stones.

Along the south wall there are several lockers that look like they've been recently used.

The mine continues to the west.

The white haired human moves up with the group and starts checking stuff out.

Survival DC 12: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Physical Science is not trained. :(

Engineering (t) DC 14: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

He shrugs, "Well, those are locked up super tight. Shall we move on deeper into the mine?"

Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

"Look here," Sen says, pointing down at the tracks in the red dirt. "This place is old, but these tracks are recent. By my estimation, these were made right around the time Talbott would have set up shop in this place. Size 14 clownshoes. That sneak thief is here, all right."

Sen walks over to the lockers. "Let me have a crack at those," he says as he sets down his doshko and attempts to force the locker doors open.

Strength (Break): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

The kasatha pulls and tugs with all of his might, blue and green colored veins pulsing out on his hands and head, but the locker doors don't budge an inch. Finally, he steps away, breathing heavily.

"Too strong for me to force open," he says, picking his doshko back up.

Strength DC 15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Minea walks over, expecting something difficult and rips the door off the locker. She points out a simple heal kit and an engineering kit, "Well, that wasn't really worth it."

She continues down the hallway, doshko ready.

Varanus follows Minea down the hallway, artillery laser at the ready.

As the team moves forward, you can all see that the mine branches in several directions. The northward passage trails on into darkness and seems to remain abandoned. The tunnels continue to the southeast, northwest and southwest.

Bud prefers clear southeast first.

"I agree with you, Bud," Sen quips, his nervousness of possible danger giving him a boost to his adrenalin. "We don't want danger at our backs."

Cautiously, with doshko in hand, Sen moves as quietly as he can toward the southeast passage, watching for any signs of trouble or danger.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Alejandro sticks with the group.

The Lashunta leads the way, antennae twitching at every sound.

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7

The passageways to the north and northwest, and go deeper into the mine. They both appear unused with a cursory inspection - thick, trackless dust and failing lights that imply no one has been down these passages in a long time.

The passageway to the southeast leads into a rectangular chamber with rough-hewn walls. A metal mine-cart track runs parallel to the passage and enters the room before ending abruptly. A mine cart in an obvious state of disrepair lies adjacent to the tracks. Tools cover a table against the east wall, while a pair of metal lockers stands in the southwest corner.

The lockers contain mining uniforms and binders of material safety data sheets for explosives. The referenced explosives, equipment and other materials are nowhere to be found. The mining car appears to be inoperable.

Doesn't seem to be anything else of interest here. The last passage heads to the southwest. Wonder what could be down there...?

Varanus cautiously heads over to the lockers, and attempts to open them.
If they are locked, he will attempt to open them with strength
Strength: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

forgot dice rolls!
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Alejandro moves up into position to check the next area as Varanus searches the empty room.

"Varanus," Sen says. "It doesn't look like anyone's used this stuff in a long time, so no one's going to care if the locker doors are open or shut."

Having secured the room, Sen steps out and slowly begins to move toward the southwest passage, alert and ready for action with his doshko in hand.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Shifting through the room only identifies it as a repair shop. Most of the tools and equipment have been removed.

Though Bud does think he hears something coming from the southwest passage.

Minea grips her doshko as Varanus moves up next to her, "ready?

She moves forward ready to face whatever is ahead.

Moved you back one step Minea.

As Minea moves past a support pillar, a concealed panel opens in the wall across from her. An automated laser turret pops out, and with a loud crack and pop fires at Minea.

TRAP! Attack/EAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
TRAP! Damage/F: 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 6, 4) + 1 = 17

The turret pulls back and the panel closes.

Ok, I am sorry! That was vicious. Dice-bot is angry today.

I'll post initiative shortly to help keep the next events orderly. Until I do anyone that wants to help/heal Minea can move up to her and do so. You can also try to disarm the trap.

Sorry again!

Alejandro stammers out, "what the F...!" and then sends some encouragement towards his ally, "We got your back ma'am, don't worry!"

Inspiring Boost on Minea, 7 Stamina Points back.

He yells at his allies, "If you think you have time to disarm it, go for it. Otherwise, just break it!"

I guess it coulda been a crit and just straight killed her so there is that at least.

Bud can provide Elixir of Renewal, but Is this effective for Minea?

If that elixir is the Welcome to Starfinder boon, then no, she can't use it. Personal use only.

Minea pulls out a vial and slams it back. Waving her allies forwards she yells, "TRAPS ARE FOR THE WEAK, FORWARD PATHFINDERS!!!"

Draw and then Drink a MK1 Healing Serum for 1d8 ⇒ 6 HP Healing.

Before the turret can reset, Varanus moves swiftly around the corner to the south west. When he gets there, he drops to the ground, facing the hallway.

"I heared Something. from southwest."

so cant use elixir. Can I hit tarret with melee for destoroy it? or we gonna just move on?
