OOC yeah I think she got away from us again. Flint should come back up and help us deal with the hag coven

Thanks. I was thinking that, but Flint is torn between keeping his word to the hags and possibly going ELSEWHERE and like, not saving all the peoples.
You *could* all jump in after her (though I wouldn't recommend it in this situation), but just one person going would have been especially hazardous!
I was hoping the elevator went down further to the wishing engine, but that could be part of the deception we were given.
yeah, bypass the hags to reach the engine was my hope as well
Out of character, I'm not sure I understand the thing with the elevator. I was under the impression that the bubbles were impenetrable without the keys, and that the Legion had built this facility inside the bubble to protect it? I'm not sure how part of it could be sticking out into the sun, or (more to the point) where we should or even can go next. Maybe have the Torrent come around to the area we're at and tell us what they can see?

The behind the scenes explanation is that the bounds of the bubble were adjusted after the Crucible was built. If Nurleth is to be believed, the Wishing Engine is further below - meaning closer to be sun's core - but how to get there without being crushed by the pressure, vaporized by the heat, or your mind messed up by the temporal effects, is the big problem to solve. You definitely need to gather some intel - and there's some intel to be gained from the bottom floor if you can resolve your hag problem.
We could give them the control rod for the elevator so that we wouldn't be able to leave without retrieving their robes for them. Other than that, I have no idea what item they might want.
The control rod isn't a bad idea, but honestly I don't trust them to honor their end of a deal where they hold the leverage either. And I don't see it as comparable to the Vessu blackmail situation, the hags aren't innocent either. It might be better to just take them out and remove a dangerous variable.
I think I am Lean Kill-The-Hags, though admittedly worried about lost time & resources

Sorry for the delay. If there isn’t anything we can give them, Flint will give them an ultimatum. That okay?
Happy birthday Bel, may your dice roller take it easy on you for a change!
Bel, I think you need to specify which spell you are dispelling—the confusion spell (affecting two of us) or the paralysis (affecting Flint).
Alas, I didn’t wait for you to post first, or Flint would have had his actions yet this round. I default towards pushing the action forward rather than waiting for someone else to post on the hope that their action aids mine.
My interpretation is that you can target a spell. Since that spell affected two people, dispelling that spell should end the effect on both affected targets.
“Targeted Dispel: One creature, object, or spell is the target of the dispel magic spell. You can also use a targeted dispel to specifically end one spell affecting the target or one spell affecting an area (such as zone of truth). You must name the specific spell effect to be targeted in this way or otherwise uniquely identify it (such as “that burning wall” or “the spell that’s giving him those duplicates”). Attempt a dispel check (1d20 + your caster level) with a DC equal to 11 + the spell’s caster level. If you succeed, the spell ends. If you don’t specify a spell and there is more than one possible spell on the target, your targeted dispel attempts to dispel a spell at random.“
Yep, Flint's got it right. When you target a spell it gets rid of the whole spell. I'll assume you're targeting confusion.
I am looking at leveling up, I am seeing new options, some of which look like they would mesh well with Flint’s character concept, especially some of the alternate class abilities. What do we think about applying some of those as part of leveling up?

Just planning on taking the one -- Broken Cycle. It reflects Flint's choice already taken to only use Photon attunement.

Given that we're at the end here, you're welcome to make the swap.

Thanks! My sheet is mostly updated. I will finish it tonight and upload the leveled-up version!
It looks like Mystic 11 is pretty basic, a BAB increase and skills including Connection skills, but nothing major otherwise. I think I'm updated now!
Flint can actually cast a spell now! 12th level priest theme gives him a first level spell associated with Sarenrae, so he took Mystic Cure. Saves go up, weapon damage increases, and a new revelation—think we are going with Corona, so don’t stand too close unless you have fire resistance.
@Bel do you still have your Glow of Life one-time revelation? It would get you those hitpoints back, I can cast one of Ordyt's last two spells if absolutely necessary but I'd like to save them for the final battle if I can.
Also, how long does the Weakened (Con) status last?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
@Ordyt: Until you recover (you go up one stage on the poison track on each long rest, or if you have some magic or item to remove it earlier).

Leveling up!
AB +1
All Saves +1
+5 HP, +6 SP, +1 RP
Skill ranks: +1 to Athletics, Computers, Culture, Engineering, Intimidate, Mysticism, Perception, Physical Science, Piloting, Life Science
New Theme Feature: Heat Transfer
New Class Features: Willpower, Techlore +4
New Spells: Mystic Aegis (4th)
And yes, I think I still have that free Glow of Life. Again, PLEASE, please let me know if my math adds up properly. At levels this high I get worried I'm mostly just adding +1s at level ups and am not sure how much to calculate from base...

Remind me again, how do I calculate how much HP I get from this one-time revelation. Do I consider it "twice my character level" in lieu of me not actually having actual solarian levels?
Yep, twice your total level.
Hello, Brother_Guiness (Captain Flint Conners) suggested I come here recruiting. I am running the Scoured Stars story arc from the first season of Starfinder Society. The campaign is just for fun; I'm not doing it for SFS credit.
We just finished the Scoured Stars Invasion and will be starting the second half of the arc shortly, if we can find a few more players. We are down to two, Brother_Guiness and Cellion.
You can examine the game thread here, and say hi or ask questions in the discussion thread here.
The temptation to run a nanocyte is strong but I'll need to think about it, PBP games are long commitment. Thank you for the invite though!
Mysticism +22, Will +10, 6RP, Fort +7
So it looks like Ordyt has the best Mysticism and Will in the party; I don't know what Uzmat's Will is but that Mysticism is astonishingly good, and unless they would be abysmal at the other steps I think it'd be silly not to make use of them.
From a maximizing-bonuses perspective I'd suggest Ordyt & Uzmat for the ritual assistants and apply the ritual to Flint and Bel first. Getting all five party members would take 200minutes, 240 if we include Uzmat which is a whopping six hours of work, but I don't think we have any better options. Thoughts?
Keep in mind each attempt costs 1 RP from each participant, and there is a chance to fail. A ritual assistant can also be a recipient.
Ordyt, if you'd like to go ahead for the first casting of the ritual, give me your Mysticism check, Will save, and deduct your 1 RP. Also, give me an election on who's getting subjected to it first (as that person will need to give a Fortitude save).
...I'm beginning to understand why the Legion had so many "martyrs", euphemism for 'failed ritual'...
Well...bummer. With Ordyt nauseated I assume someone else will need to tag in for at least two of the rituals.
Flint is willing! Do you need him? I think Bel has better Mysticism and more available RP…
Dang, we have really blown in on basically everything involving these hags. Just a mess from top to bottom :(

It may be a mess, but it's far from over!
Btw, I will be traveling for the next week. I should still be able to update during this trip, but the posts may be coming at odd times.
Yes if we are ready to move on. I vote we do for story reasons (four of us including Uzmat can now go and our allies don’t have much time left) and RL logistical ones (Sammad and Mari’s players are not posting).
So yes, Flint wants to spend an RP to get atamina back and move on…
