2-3 Table 2 (Inactive)

Game Master DoubleGold

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

"Well, everything seems might and dandy. Let's go sabotage that cultists site, though, personally, I think it would be easier to just drag them out the planet by their necks".

Yasakaja's perception with blindsense (vibration) 60 ft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Heroes are easily able to grab all the ingredients.

After all of that [dice=stealth]9+1d20 roll perception checks vs a creatures stealth. I didn't roll for you all, cause some of you might have situational perception checks. Dwarves get bonuses to stone doors for instance.

Rahirez sees nothing out of the ordinary

I, too, cannot beat DC 26.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Ziyass looks around but doesn't notice anything.

At least I don't think she does. The only thing that might be relevant is this: "Reduce the DC for Engineering checks to identify technology and Mysticism checks to identify a magic items by 5, provided the item is a security system, surveillance equipment, or trap." But it doesn't seem to fit.

I cannot achieve that check either.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

”Another menial task completed.” Taerem complains, ”I agree that we should just simply end the cultists and be done with it, minor aabotage merely slows the issue when we should fight the cause.”

They all do falling pounce, still waiting on map, but Ziyass looks like our best melee, they can't do full attack yet as it is surprise round. hits: 6d20 ⇒ (6, 12, 1, 7, 14, 12) = 52 +4 to each
They all missed
all the ones that missed fell from a 20 foot distance dmg to them: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8 wow, this fight might be over soon enough to not need a map

init: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7 Venizan
init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 Dracos
init: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2 Rahirez
init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 Taerem
init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Gava
init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 Ziyass
init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 tree hoppers.

Ziyass, Taerem, Dracos, Gava are up Ziyass is surrounded by 6 of them.

+++Calibrating Sensors+++

+++Target-Lock Engaged+++

D.R.A.C.O.S. blasts one of the uninjured ones.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 4) + 3 = 12 Force damage.

Dracos definitely overkills one to bits.

...So their maximum hp is less than 12, and all the ones that fell took 8 already? Damn...

Ven roars in surprise and anger at the ambush. He pulls out his taclash while attempting to buffet on with one of his wings.
vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
1d3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Yowling in outrage, Ziyass summons her shield and backhands the closest tree hopper.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Bludgeoning Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Ziyass now has +2 to AC.

Gava stares at the mess for a bit and shoots at one of the tree hoppers. "What's going on?"
Needler pistol vs. KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Move action: Draw needler pistol
Standard action: Attack

Life Science to Identify Creature: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 -5 to DC from Wild Warden theme

I'd like to know, in order: DR, energy resistance, immunities and weaknesses

...So their maximum hp is less than 12, and all the ones that fell took 8 already? Damn...

Oh, misread, you targetted an uninjured one, well, they all got injured.

"Ah an ambush - how infuriatingly predictable - I suggest we keep better guard in future Captain." Taerem complains as they are jumped by the plant creatures.

Sighing, the Kasathan 'scientist' flips their Caustolance from their shoulder and levels it at one of the injured plant creatures surrounding Zivass. With a rapid movement from one of their top arms the injection cartridge is replaced with a genetic virus that will eat at their structure and make them vulnerable.

Caustolance vs EAC, injured: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 for Acid Damage: 6 = 6

If hit they also gain Vulnerability to Acid Damage

As a Move action Rahirez will draw his handaxe. If one is adjacent he'll just swing, if there are tree hoppers adjacent he'll throw his axe at the one that is not acid-vulnerable (save that for the vanguards)
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
damage if hit: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Taerem misses but Rahirez finishes one off after Ziyass hit it.
full attacks: 8d20 ⇒ (11, 1, 14, 12, 6, 5, 2, 14) = 65+0 to hit with each.
All heroes are up 4 left. They have 13 HP and they all took 8 from the fall.

+++Hostiles Noted To Be Heavily Injured+++
+++Creature Designated As Ally Within Close Proximity To All Hostiles+++
+++Initiating Broad-Spectrum Assault Protocol+++

D.R.A.C.O.S. raises a hand, and makes a throwing gesture, tossing a brace of force missiles; each missile targeting a different creature.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3.
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3.
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5.

So, that is one down, two on two hit points, and one on five hit points ;-)

Survival check to Trick Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20 Failed
Needler pistol vs KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Failed

"What a bloody mess, can't make heads or tails out of this!"

”The ambush makes little sense, unless the creatures have been corrupted?” Taerem asks conversationally as they the frown at the calibration on their rifle. Whilst their top two arms work on the rifle they take aim on the whirling melee focused on Ziyass. attack one of those injured by DRACOS

caustolance vs EAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

For Acid Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 Minor Inhibitor: –1 penalty to attack rolls for 6 rounds

Rahirez continues chopping away at the things (or throwing/calling back, as appropriate)
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
damage if hit: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Ziyass punches one of the tree hoppers that are left, frowning at the senseless waste while keeping up her glowing transparent shield.

Entropic Stike vs EAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Failure I'd guess.

And her fist slides right past the tree hopper.

Ven takes in a deep breath, expanding his already large body. He then exhales fire at the remaining creature(s).

Ref DC 15 for half: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Dracos kills one and injures 2 more further.
Taerem finishes one that Dracos shot,
Rahirez also finishes off another lesser damaged one.
One left reflex: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (2) = 5 and finishes off the other one Dracos shot.

CONCLUSION With the ritual sabotaged, the PCs safely leave the area and return to their starship. Venture-Captain Arvin relays his thanks for a mission well done, and that he’s already preparing the PCs’ next mission (assuming that this was not the last quest the PCs took part in).

next mission Starship combat, pick pegasus or drake, or another ship if you have the boon to it.

We will choose the drake, for expediency.

Agreed.

Agreed.

[ooc]Rahirez would like the science vessel, I, personally, would like the Drake. Regardless, Rahirez would like to take the science officer role.

Fluctuating gravitational tides from the nearby black hole buffet the ship, though the effects aren’t damaging. As the ship nears the coordinates provided by Venture-Captain Arvin, scanners reveal another vessel in the far distance. The enemy starship remains out of weapons range as the distance closes. Suddenly, the Loreseeker’s computer systems indicate an incoming transmission from the Devourer vessel.

If the PCs accept the incoming hail, of course you accept.

The head of a smiling, black-furred creature fills the screen. She steps back and holds a harness stuffed with an eccentric variety of engineering tools and portable scanners. With a big wave of her three right hands she says, “Hiya, nufriends! Hey, what are you doing out here by a big, black hole? My name is Ayoka. I like to take things apart but I REALLY like to put things back together. These Devourer people really like taking things apart. Right now, their ship is pretty much put together, but I’m just waiting for this Drift engine thingamabobber to spool back up. Since I got nuthin’ to do, I suppose I’ll talk to you.”

Ayoka can help you in battle, diplomacy gets her on your side for the ship fight. Other skills work like piloting, profession checks, etc, but you have to roll 3 higher.

Rahirez is flabbergasted and spits out. ”But. . . You work for the devourter cult, they hate putting things back together. They are trying to bust the entire planet apart.” he takes a deep ‘breath’ and calms himself.

”Ayoka, perhaps you are unaware, but the devourer cult you work For is currently attempting to destabilize factors that keep the planet in balance. Without them the planet will break apart under enormous gravimetric sheer. Should that happen that planet and all it’s inhabitants-it’s nufriends-will he killed.”

‘Physical Science?’: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

"Heya there, Ayoka. I'm Gava, the finest pilot you'll ever meet this side of the screen, though I substitute as a gunner when needed be. You don't strike me as devourer material, why are siding with them folk over there?" Piloting: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Gava rides the gravitational tides, keeping the ship impressively steady.

+++Analysing+++
+++Linguistic Patterns Suggest Life-Form Indigenous To Vesk-3+++

He then addresses the creature, noting that the Society could do with its help; since their ships don't to get damaged a lot, they can always do with additional 'help' to fix them!

Engineering: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24.

"Greetings Ayoka. This is Ziyass of the Starfinders. And we would like to help you put things together, or rather keep things together!" Ziyass grins. "Perhaps we can help each other?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Ouch, I hope someone else can roll better! :(

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

"Agreed. Ayoka, you have a place on our ship and in the Starfinders if you leave the Devourerists."

“The captain boss lady is a lashunta.” Ayoka wiggles her fingers over her head, imitating antennae. “She likes to yell a lot. Mostly she yells at me to put things together. That’s okay since she always yells at me to do fun stuff! The big vesk—I call him Whomper—says he wants to take every planet in the universe apart. I told him he will need a bigger turret coil gun than this ship has if he wants to do that.”
“You seem like real nice people. Do you have anything on your ship that needs to be put back together? I like your ship. This cult one is hard to put back together, especially since I have to do it every day! These engines are Thaumtech L-Star-6 engines—very hard to work on.” From this information, the PCs know the speed and maneuverability of the Jagged Maw.
She then goes into an escape pod and abandons the Jagged Maw, making them use their backup engineer.

piloting enemy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Heroes roll piloting to determine who goes first. I'll roll for you next time once I know your piloting numbers.

edit: I have to determine enemy facing apparently, randomly which direction start from 1 o clock and go clockwise: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Feel free to replace your starship image if you want it to look more like the ship you picked, you are off to the left.

Piloting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17.

”If their ship is as hard to put together as our new friend- nufriend-suggests, targeting their power core seems most prudent, unless you have a better suggestion captain?”

sorry, I forgot to say, table 2, you are slide number 7, so go ahead and move first. You are the ship off the left.

Gava utilizes the ship’s computer to help his aim and sends a missile towards the cultists ship.
High explosive missile launcher vs. TL: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
Damage against... starboard?: 4d8 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 7) = 15

Okay, so Dracos piloting evade. He didn't move the ship, so we will say he stayed put.
piloting evade: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
they move around piloting them to evade: 8 + 1d20 ⇒ 8 + (11) = 19
their gunnery: 9 + 1 + 1d20 - 2 ⇒ 9 + 1 + (12) - 2 = 20 range 2 stuff dmg to front: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4) = 11
their gunnery: 9 + 1 + 1d20 - 2 ⇒ 9 + 1 + (5) - 2 = 13 dmg to front: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 3) = 12
All gunnerys are up. and whatever else you have left to do. slide 7

Gava utilizes the ship’s computer to help his aim and sends a missile towards the cultists ship.
High explosive missile launcher vs. TL: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
Damage against starboard?: 4d8 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 2) = 6

Gava you already rolled just before I called for it, I was just thinking there were two gunners, one for each gun.
Gava takes out the enemy's front shields and deals 10 points of damage to him
Ziyass forgot to roll damage: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 4) = 10 Okay, that total damage this round, reached the enemy crit threshold. which system: 1d100 ⇒ 20 and the enemy still has 20 points of damage on him
piloting heroes: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 heroes
piloting enemy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 enemy

I move first piloting enemy: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10 to move backwards. Failure Pilot, gunner and engineers are up, Slide number 7

their gunnery checks: 9 + 1 - 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 9 + 1 - 2 + (8) = 16
their gunnery checks: 9 + 1 - 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 9 + 1 - 2 + (20) = 28 They shots apply assuming they actually do get a shot at you.
They only hit you once last round, taking out your front shields and dealing 1 point of damage, it would be wise to re balance shields, before this damage gets applied, oh, and your gunnery will obviously hit before theirs will.

Piloting (Initiative): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22.

Piloting (Stunt - Evade): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19.

"Ziyass, target that vessel with extreme prejudice." Encourage
Encourage DC 11: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Ziyass gets a +2 to her gunnery check

Just in case Taerem doesn't show up and we miss another engineering phase, I volunteer to bot him. If he shows up, just ignore this.

Taerem's engineering check with computer aid to Divert power to shields: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 = 10

Gava utilizes the ship’s computer to help his aim and sends a second missile towards the cultists ship.
High explosive missile launcher vs. TL: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 15
Damage against forward: 4d8 ⇒ (8, 2, 4, 2) = 16

Sorry hectic week

Lounging at the engineering station, Taerem lazily cancels the ship’s automatic warning symbols relating to their damaged shields. Sighing the Kasatha looks away from their data and runs their four arm across the console, diverting energy from the ship’s power core away from non-essential lighting in the cargo bay and towards the shield generators. Unfortunately the shields fail to flare into life.

engineering vs dc13: 1d20 + 1 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 7 = 12

"Rebalancing Shields!" Rahirez shouts

Rebalance Shields: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

As the Copoxi tries to rebalance the shields, an error message pops up that WinRar is about to expire and he can't get rid of it.
