Making this now so I don't make it later.

Eddv, you signed up but I don't have a PFS number for you. I will need that before we are finished.

I have put in the slides and map into our campaign description. If you would please fill out the second slide. On the first slide, please put your avatar into the 3x3 grid to show where your character would be when moving in a tactical formation.

Unslotted Welcome to Starfinder

D'oh! Just noticed I hadn't applied Uli's most recent chronicle here, so I'll need to do that. He's still in tier, but it might change what boons he's using... Hopefully should have that up tonight!

Ah yes, Boons!

I was going through everyone's sheets and came to the shocking realization that no one in the whole party has ranks in Mysticism (not even our spell casters, heh).

At least Uli is death-touched, so he can use his Perception to recall knowledge on the undead we might find in this undead planet.

It's been 10 days, are we picking this back up next year or something?

DuQuesne has the biggest diplomacy bonus (+8), so I'd like to try the check - I'd very much like some Aid Anothers though, just in case!

Bulk 1; Special —

I'll take the Frostbite-class zero rifle if Bisig doesn't want it - we are both longarms users with a single weapon, but he'll probably get more out of it than DuQuesne, since envoys can hardly ever full attack.

You can have the Frostbite, I don't have a sidearm so I'll take the Thunderstrike unless someone else wants it.

The Thunderstrike is marginally better than my ranged attack, but Uli's primarily melee anyways so ::shrug::

Are the "stairs" on the left side of the map going up or down?

The lack of a grid on the sides of this canyon makes me believe the enemies won't be up there - and if the "stairs" are going up, they'll definitely be there, since they are snipers (although there are no higher ground modifiers in Starfinder).

sloping up. Steep but not steep enough to require athletics check according to the scenario.

And can we see them at all now that they've opened fire? I know that re-stealthing after sniping comes with a -20 penalty, so I figure we've got a reasonable chance :-)

It's 720 feet to the first step... What are the light conditions in here?

Are we still active here?

Uli and Carlos didn't take their turn yet, I guess we are waiting for them?

It's "only" been a week since anyone took any actions...

Right. I wasn't sure if that was more common on SF than PF boards. Weekends are usually slow, and this is a longer weekend for some.

I can post something, but it's sorta dependent on the question I asked...

We might be too far away to see them without appropriate gear:

"Stealth And Detection In Hills And Mountains
As a guideline, the maximum distance in mountain terrain at which a creature can succeed at a Perception check to detect the presence of others is 4d10×10 feet. In hill terrain, the maximum distance is 2d10×10 feet. It’s easier to hear distant sounds in the mountains. The DCs of Perception checks that rely on sound increase by 1 per 20 feet between listener and source, not 1 per 10 feet"

you need to take a move action to try to find them.

I've PM Carlos-187 and hadn't heard anything. I will bot them until I hear something from them.

Since this is my first SFS PbP game, would it be prudent to sign up with Lexicor on the Outpost game or do you think we will be still operating here by the time that starts?

You can pop back up and help us right away:

Stay In The Fight
If you are stable and have enough Resolve Points, or if you were knocked unconscious from nonlethal damage (see page 252), you can spend 1 RP at the beginning of your turn to regain 1 HP. You are no longer dying, immediately become conscious, and can take the rest of your turn as normal. You can spend Resolve Points to regain Hit Points only if you are at 0 HP and stable, and you cannot regain more than 1 HP in this way. You can’t spend Resolve Points to stabilize and to stay in the fight in the same round.

Lexicor is all the way across the map, behind the Green and Red dead sarcesians. I think you mistook his token with Frinke, who's adjacent to Blue.

Chronicle Sheets
The chronicle sheets should be here. Let me know if I screwed up anything.

Let me know if I screwed up anything.

Only Bisig's sheet is available at the link.

Wow, this is my first chronicle in SFS, so I will trust others to say if it is right. But I agree with DuQuesne...only Bisig's showing right now.

Thanks for running this GM. I think I need to update a few things on Lex...

I think I figured it out? Lets try again.

Thanks, got it.

It worked, thanks for the sheet.

Super! Thanks again for running it for us. :)

Yep, looks good! Thanks!

Thanks for running us through this Ultra Plus!
