Game Master S's "The Bluerise Breakout" (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

I'll join mich in the front as we are the only ones with any sort of weaponry

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Looking up at Mich Igan’s insistence, Tomida spots the camera and begins to make a recording of the information they had discovered about the cameras. Wrinkling their nose at the smell they look to Adell.

”Ah’m sure I can give it a shot, just need to get close enough without being spotted is the issue.”[\b] they frown [b]”Hey Ebaki! You got any override power here?”

engineering to know about the camera: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

"I can't help there. I don’t know what I can do. I don’t have a gun or anything. But I know computers, I can help with that. Oh, and some of the doors should respond to my handprint, so I guess that might make some things easier.” Ebaki holds up his hand, forcing a smile.

Tomida starts thinking about how to foil the motion sensors. Something tiny, like some drones could get close enough to deactivate it with some simply engineering know-how. Otherwise you're in trouble. Tomida is confident that bulky furniture will mask movement too.

Thinking about how hard this is going to be on PbP. This would be an easy "board game" in person. I've uncovered the cubicle floor with the motion sensors visible. Give me a marching order and a square by square path to the weapons room in the NE. If any square happens to require me interrupting you, we'll rewind to there. (Don't assume the worst though, it could be treasure ;-)

Mich proposes a solution to get to the weapons. Blue line on the map

Lets go there first, and see what we can do.

Adell will march next to Tomida with ebaki directly behind him.
If we can get Ebaki to a computer console, he may be able to make a difference.

Maxamas moves up closer.

”Nevermind - we’ll get out of here somehow, we Starfinders are famous for getting out of sticky situations!” Tomida replies to Ebaki cheerfully. ”Though it is time like these I wish Draconir had a camera installed so I could see from their eyes. On that note...”

She quietens for a moment as they step out of the room with Adell and focuses on her encrypted connection with her Drone, hoping to boot up Draconir, which would at least give them back up at the Security room.

”Make sure you keep your heads down below the cubicles if ya can, just incase of any other surprises we haven’t seen”

Specific marching order? Go ahead and place yourselves on the Blue Line. Vegoia, is there some character art from the web we can use?

Mich proposes to be first in line.

I've got mine out there currently directly behind tomida

Adell is currenly standing to the left of Tomida, and to his left is a computer console.

Ebaki? My friend how about you login to this console and see what you can do to make this situation a little easier?

Ebaki nods and heads over to the closest cubicle. He starts typing away as the party makes their way along the wall, trying to keep a low profile.  Almost to the door, you see a now animated suit of armor patrolling the area.  Upon seeing it, it sees you!

Hostiles: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Maxamas: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Mich: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
Vegoia: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (11) + 0 = 11
Adell: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6
Tomida: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

The armor looks like it's coming to deal with you!

Round 1:
Tomida: Go
Mich: Go
Maxamas: Go
Vegoia: Go
Hostiles: TBD
Adell: TBD

Oh no! Why did it animate?! We will need to destroy it now...

Mich starts to glow like a star in the night and moves, strictly following the path they choose, toward the animated armor, weapon ready.

Photon Mode 1/3

We don't have our weapons, so total defense action and let the casters deal with it.

I double move up closer to it

(Photon 1/3)

Maxamas covers his head while Mich and Vegoia power up.

Round 1:
Tomida: Go
Mich: Building...
Maxamas: Defense
Vegoia: Building...
Hostiles: TBD
Adell: TBD

Someone can bot Tomida

Tomida uses custom rig implant to order Draconir the Drone to move towards security room and attack.

Tomida's drone prepares for the fight. Too small to trigger the sensors, it's a clean shot.

Silently and inexorably the armor advances on the party! Already within reach, it uses its integrated standard taclash to try and pull the skittermander down:

ATK: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 for DMG: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 From the shadows a second suit of armor approaches from the southwest.

Ebaki works furiously, and seems to be close when all of a sudden the shock grid goes off under Tomida and the Director! Elec: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 3) = 11 REF DC 12 for half. Ebaki: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Round 1:
Tomida: Prep
Mich: Building...
Maxamas: Defense
Vegoia: Building...
Hostiles: ATK
Adell: Go

Adell quickly realizes that he needs to buy Ebaki a little more time...
So he takes total defense and moves one step south.

Ebaki curses and gets back to work.

Round 2:
Tomida: Go
Mich: Go
Maxamas: Go
Vegoia: Go
Hostiles: TBD
Adell: TBD

I will move up and swing at the armor with my solar whip Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 for Dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Vegoia's solar whip cracks clear in the dim room. Unfortunately it cracks a hair's breadth too soon!

Round 2:
Tomida: Go
Mich: Go
Maxamas: Go
Vegoia: Miss
Hostiles: TBD
Adell: TBD

Sorry I had posted and moved my Pawn, must have got lost - including the note saying i was away for a couple of days...

reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Cursing as the computer fries, Tomida leaps behind the chair in the cubicle, blocking much of force from the explosion. ”Welp! We know what fried those poor workers now!” she exclaims.

Once again, she splits her attention between controlling Draconir and this time she tries to assist Ebaki in their work.

computers: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Protect Ebaki! Heal him. says Mich while continuing to glow

They then turn they attention to the armor and trie to hit it. They own armor calculating the best course of action they strike.

Solar weapon vs KAC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17
Damages, S: 1d6 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 12

No worries :-)

Mich's lash is devastating to the armor. The party breaths a sigh of relief. It looks like it can only take a couple hits like that before being destroyed.

Tomida and the Director both strike out, finding nothing useful on the computer. The director shoves it into Tomida's hands, "Here, a down payment on the reward of getting me outa here." Tomida looks at the datapad and finds that it's quite the system. It's a tier 2 computer with the hardened, miniaturization 2 (Bulk L), and self-charging upgrades.

"I'm going to need to get to something better than a workstation, but without weapons, we're NOT getting outa here."

Round 2:
Tomida: Comp
Mich: Hit
Maxamas: Go
Vegoia: Miss
Hostiles: TBD
Adell: TBD

without lethal weapons maxamas is useless so total defense action.

forgot to add I'm on Photon mode 2/3

Maxamas continues to cower as the armors advance. The one by Mich lashes again!
ATK: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10, but the little guy is far too fast!

Round 2:
Tomida: Comp
Mich: Hit
Maxamas: TD
Vegoia: Miss
Hostiles: ATK
Adell: Go

Round 2:
Tomida: Go
Mich: Go
Maxamas: Go
Vegoia: Go
Hostiles: TBD
Adell: TBD

Adell readies the butt of his flashlight (already in his hand, improvised weapon).

He takes a step and engages the armor....

"You two...help me keep this walking pile of metal busy for a few secs?"

Adell assaults the armor with his flashlight...not expecting it to do anything except get its attention.

Improvised Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Maxamas seeing it is a construct knows he can't do anything lethal, so total defense action.

Going to delay until Vegoia has gone

"That was a bust! Gonna rush the room, we need our weapons!" Tomida says over the Starfinder's comm units as she rushes out of the cubicle, hugging the wall.

Assuming the door can be reasonably broken

Receiving orders from Tomida, Draconir readies their Storm hammer as it ignites then brings it crashing down on the door in an attempt to bash it down.

Storm Hammer vs EAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 for Electric Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

If The armour hasn't been destroyed then second attack (-4 on the other attack

Storm Hammer vs EA: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 5 - 4 = 11 for Electric Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Mich continues to attack the armor, still glowing furiously !

Solar Weapon vas KAC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 18
Damages, S: 1d6 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 8
Solar Weapon vas KAC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 3
Damages, S: 1d6 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 12

Helping!

Photon Mode 3/3

Adell gets ready to flashlight whip the approaching Abadarmor.

Mich whips the armor again, though the blow isn't as definitive as the first, and the armor pushes on.

Tomida holds on for just a second, but finds the comms are jammed!

Round 1
Adell: Readied

Round 2:
Mich: Hit!
Maxamas: Defense
Vegoia: Go
Tomida: Readied
Hostiles: TBD
Adell: TBD

I will go ahead and crack my whip into the side of the helmet of the armor

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 for dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

But it looks like I'm a bit out of practice with the whip

Indeed, Vegoia is wildly off target.

Draconir doesn't seem to make a lot of progress on the door. There IS a hand print identifier next to it that could likely be hacked, but the security door is really hard.

The armor approaches Adell who smashes the flashlight on its head! DMG: 1d6 ⇒ 5

The two armor suits resort to metal fists:
ATK v. Vegoia: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

ATK v. Adell: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

But both miss horribly!

Round 2:
Mich: Hit!
Maxamas: Defense
Vegoia: Miss
Tomida: Readied
Hostiles: ATK
Adell: Go

Full-Round Action: Adell withdrawals into the room behind him.

He hopes that pile of polished junk will chase him around the room for a little while since it seems to get around slowly.

Indeed, the armor looks to follow a simple plan and turns towards Adell.

Round 2:
Mich: Go
Maxamas: Go
Vegoia: Go
Tomida: Go
Hostiles: TBD
Adell: TBD

Solar Weapon vs KAC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 8
Solar Weapon vs KAC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 10

This time Mich is unable to hit the Armor to they great frustration!

Photon Mode 4/3

Mich gets a bit too excited to make the kill strike, and whips off target twice!

Round 2:
Mich: Miss
Maxamas: Go
Vegoia: Go
Tomida: Go
Hostiles: TBD
Adell: TBD

Hopefully everyone is rested after the big game! :-)

Yes, the French beat England in Rugby! Quite happy about that ;)

I wish I was a spellcaster or had a real weapon with me. Full defense action.

I'm going to reposition to the side of the armor and activate my supernova,

Reflex save DC 14 for half damage

damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 1 = 4

REF: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 The dice were not kind to you Vegoia. Vegoia's supernova fizzles a bit. Still the damage to the armor is adding up, and even a good hit with a stapler might take it out...

Round 2:
Mich: Miss
Maxamas: Duck and cover
Vegoia: Boom
Tomida: Go
Hostiles: TBD
Adell: TBD

Someone want to bot Tomida?

Someone want to bot Tomida?

I dont think she can do anything. We need Ebaki to open the door but that wont happen until the armor is dead. We know the robot cant open the door.

Don't forget that even without weapons, there are some options. Covering Fire and Harrying Fire don't actually require guns. Given that some agents are attacking and getting hit, helping them is 100% an option.
