Game Master Andrew Harasty

Rocket blinks his eyes a few times as a blast of heated air rushes over him.

Deciding that standing in a blast area for another time would be a bad idea he flies forward using his jumpjets while shooting his blaster at the Jinsul leader once more

To hit EAC Commander: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
F (laser) damage if hit: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Following the tremendous explosion, Apsel mouths words to Pharasma and concentrates.

"Not yet"

Healing energy flows out through Apsel and into his allies.

Full round channel, affecting everybody but Vixi.

Healing: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 8, 2, 4) = 19

Cursing as the Jinsul explosion rips into them, Draken pouts at the control panel as Gunnz works their own brand of Operative magic and the machine responds to them. "Well fine then!" they sulk. Sighing in pleasure as Apsel's prayer soothes the burns and mends the cuts, Draken rolls into action, diving across the floor and levelling their acquired Flame pistol. Taking aim on the Jinsul fanatic in green robes they squeeze the trigger.

Trick Attack vs DC 20 + CR - If successful, target is Flat-footed to next attack

Trick, Bluff: 1d20 + 16 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 4 = 36

Thunderstrike Azimuth vs EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

If attack hits, target is flat-footed to allies' attack till next turn

Sonic, Magic Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6 + Trick Attack Damage: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 1, 1) = 7

Mirror Image Real=1: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Finally seeing the comander, Rocket hits the false image but now clears the way for everyone else.

Apsels magic closes the wounds of those around him.

Draken, healed and clear of the door hits the remaining zealot with his shot.

The jinsul then continues to focus on Flameclaw

Zealot leg blades: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 13 - 4 = 15
Zealot leg blades: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 13 - 4 = 29
Blade damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Blade damage,crit: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
A miss an then another deep cut, but Flameclaw is still bleeding from the last one.

Flameclaw, Gunnz, and Vixi

Bleed for this round and last (because I forgot) 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10 ... so at -42 HP ... I've got 6 HP, then. Photon attuned 1. Full attack with solar weapon.

Full attack 1: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 12 - 4 = 20

Attack 2 dmg: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (5, 6) + 16 = 27 S + 1d3 ⇒ 1 F

Flameclaw slashes at the green jinsul.

If that last one is a miss, I'll use my T-shirt re-roll.

Attack re-roll (if needed): 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 12 - 4 = 16

Well, that wasn't much help ...

Vixi continues to blast away from her perch, weaving among her holographic duplicates to keep her exact position disguised until the acid hits flies harmlessly past the jinsul!

Tricky Stealth: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37
Liquidator: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Acid: 1d10 + 3 + 3d8 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (4, 8, 6) = 22 And 6 Bleed

Sigh. Wish I had a shirt :-p

Flameclaw only takes one round of bleed from the new crit after the heal by Apsel, you have 5 more HP

Flameclaw takes down the Jinsul on his first strike.

Stop bleeding DC 15: 1d20 ⇒ 3

For he vantage, Gunnz now dances out of the way of another blast and takes a shot at the leader.

Gunnx Trick: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33
Gunnz Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 v EAC
Damage with Trick: 1d6 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (2) = 7

She tags the boss, but the commander is still up. They then take two shots at the ysoki with the big gun:

Shadow Pistol: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 14 - 4 = 24 v EAC
Shadow Pistol: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 14 - 4 = 29 v EAC
Shadow Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Shadow Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Gunnz -- 18 SP dmg
Vixi Trixen -- 35 SP dmg Mirror Image 2

Jinsul Commander -- 82 dmg, Off-Target, flat-footed

Not wanting to be caught bunched up in case the Commander lets off another nasty explosion, Draken darts round the Station's power core, using it to distract the Commander long enough to set up another shot on them.

"Boo" they spit in Jinsul.

Trick Attack vs DC 20 + CR - If successful, target is Flat-footed to next attack[/ooc

Trick, Bluff: 1d20 + 16 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 16 + 4 = 29

Thunderstrike Azimuth vs EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

[ooc] If attack hits, target is flat-footed to allies' attack till next turn

Sonic, Magic Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7 + Trick Attack Damage: 3d8 ⇒ (6, 4, 3) = 13

Vixi continues to have trouble finishing her set as she struggles to get the better of the jinsul leader!

Tricky Stealth: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (4) + 21 = 25
Liquidator: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Acid + Trick: 1d10 + 3 + 3d8 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (6, 3, 1) = 14

After getting hit twice more Rocket decides that being this close is uncomfortable and flies to the side of the room before firing his gun once again

To hit EAC leader: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
F (laser) damage if hit: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Flameclaw advances across the platform toward the leader, then hurls his greataxe toward him.

Greataxe thrown attack, range penalty: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 - 2 = 29
Greataxe damage: 3d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 1, 4) + 12 = 23 S

Seeing his ysoki friend in dire straits, Apsel reaches out to soothe what he can of Rocket's wounds. No action requried: Life link to take 5 HP damage and heal Rocket 5 HP.

Just as he prepares to channel Pharasma's power to his allies a second time, Flameclaw advances toward the leader and throws his huge axe.

Watching worryingly as a very wounded Flameclaw runs forward, Apsel urges (through telepathy) "If you desire healing, withdraw toward me."

Full round channel: 4d8 ⇒ (4, 7, 3, 5) = 19

Based on who has HP damage, this will heal Apsel's 5 HP that he just took from Rocket and will heal Rocket another 19, or 24 total. Flameclaw unfortunately is just out of range unless I went before he did, in which case Flameclaw gets 19 HP restored, too.

With a full round of everyone attacking the leader, the main Jinsul goes down. The Reactor room is now secure.

Within a few minutes of you alerting Historia-7 and Radaszam that the path to the inner reactor is safe and secure, the faction leaders come jogging up the corridor, each holding one handle of a large, circular metallic object. Historia-7 and Radaszam secure the device to the base of the reactor, Radaszam muttering under his breath about how he’s “getting too old for this kind of work.”

On top object is the tiny creature you let loose from the labs. It coos at Radaszam a bit before jumping off and allowing leaders to set up the device. It sniffs at you curiously. You then make your way back the te craft. Spraky, as Radaszam calls the creature, bounds along behind the party.

As the jinsul starship pulls away from the starbase, dozens of small drones deploy from docking bays all over the giant base, frantically chasing after you and your escaping ship. Historia-7 turns, gives the base one final look, and presses the button on a small transponder she held in her hand. After a moment there is a blinding flash of light and the starbase disintegrates into an explosive purple disk. Not looking back, Radaszam engages the Drift engine, and the stolen ship slips into the Drift just as the first shock wave is about to engulf them. “Starfinders,” he laughs, “that… is how it is done.”

Panting heavily as the last Jinsul falls, Draken smiles at the group wearily as the adrenaline rush of such a close combat begins to drain from them. After calling in to the Faction leaders the operative slides down against the wall whilst they prep the explosive device. Too tired to speak they follow Radazasm and Historia back to the hijacked starship watching the strange alien creature perched happily on the Well dressed Vesk’s shoulders.

Returning to the Jinsul Starship they dig out some of the booze remaining from the trip up - Draken pours out a measure for all that want one from the bottle.

”Cheers!”

Leaning back to catch his breath in the stolen vessel Rocket looks out through the viewport

"Now _that's_ what I call an explosion" Rocket comments with a wide grin on his face.

Flameclaw nods approvingly through the window. "Very impressive."

"Several jinsuls met the Lady today, may she judge them well. I am glad we were not among their group today, friends."

Apsel procedes to prepare more delicious meals on their (shorter) trip back to Pact Worlds space!

"But what of our new friend?" asks Gunnz, who spends as much time as she can in the Drift, trying to teach the shark-to-pus thingy to wiggle to the Sweet Sounds of SMC.
