Welcome to my table of the Outpot III SFS special, The Fate of the Scoured God! I'm excited to be able to bring this scenario to you and all the fun to be had but first a few clerical things to take care of:
Hi, I’m GM Sedoriku!
I’ve been GMing sporadically and playing continuously on these boards since 2016, and I love how the format provides amazing chances to roleplay and gives people chances to think of creative solutions to things. So with that said definitely feel free to try new things or creative solutions and I try to reward robust roleplaying when I can.
Additionally, I know the rules for Starfinder fairly well, but I do not claim to be an expert! If you feel I have missed something or made a mistake please reach out to me, via PM if appropriate, and we can work through the matter!

Who are you, and what will you bring to the party?
Rahdokhama is an ex-Veskarium soldier, sent to join the Starfinders in order to rescue their brothers and sisters from within the Scoured Stars system. After successfully extracting his brethren, and other fellow Starfinders, he decided to remain with the crew to pursue the jinsul threat. He is a sturdy melee fighter, who is well trained in co-ordinating strikes with his allies.
Have you been assigned to any missions involving either the jinsul or gathering information and resources concerning the Scoured Stars? How have they affected you?
Rahdokhama was surprised when he first encountered the jinsul during the Scoured Stars incident. He has never seen such a species before. He was disappointed he didn't get to squish more of the bugs, and is excited for another chance to do so.
If you were stranded in the Drift, what three things would you want (assuming the necessities of shelter, food, air and water are covered)?
My trusty tactical swooping hammer, a training dummy and an reflective surface to admire himself on.
Super excited for this game!
Vexus Ghostpuncher Omega-6 |
IN CHARACTER QUESTIONS:
Who are you, and what will you bring to the party?
Vexus “Ghostpuncher” Omega-6 is an android manufactured in the Eoxian city of Urabran. Tasked with dealing with nuisance haunts and minor spirits that inconvenience the more mobile and sentient undead, he and a fellow team of similar androids worked for years as exterminators. Vexus has proven particularly durable and lucky, and somehow survived the years of dangerous work. He has continued working as a “Percussive Exorcist” after bring emancipated, but after finding it hard to make much at the job, joined the Starfinders. He brings to any party a strong gift for melee combat, an opitmistic can do attitude, and a passion for bongo music.
Have you been assigned to any missions involving either the jinsul or gathering information and resources concerning the Scoured Stars? How have they affected you?
The only Jinsul mission that Vexus has been part of was Four for the First. He didn't much like them.
If you were stranded in the Drift, what three things would you want (assuming the necessities of shelter, food, air and water are covered)?
All Vexus needs is good company, his favorite music, and something to punch from time to time.
OUT OF CHARACTER QUESTIONS
Has and in what way has this character been involved in pursuing the Scoured Stars / Jinsul storyline?
Only 2-07 Four for the First
Did you participate in any of the following?
Not with this character.
Would you be willing to bot other characters, if needed?
Sure.
Do you promise to let me know when you have a busy time in your life coming up so we can bot you as needed?
Yes, will do.
Are you comfortable with a hard minimum 1 post a day pace?
Absolutely.
What has been your favorite SFS Adventure with this character, and why?
So far, definitely 2-15 The Infernal Gallery. Vexus had several opportunities to punch spirits, and found his profession surprisingly useful in identifying a wayward portion of the afterlife.

the replaced weapon.
Mystical starship weapon property— When attempting a gunnery check with a mystical weapon, which is a hybrid device, a gunner can use ranks in Mysticism in place of her base attack bonus or ranks in Piloting, and her Wisdom modifier in place of her Dexterity modifier.

GM Sedoriku |
Alright that looks like everyone but one person has checked in! This is going to kick off next week and I'm excited! There's a link to the maps at the top of the page and will be one under my profile name in just a moment. If you could add your character images to the first slide and then make a marching order on the second slide that would be amazing.
Additionally there's still some info I need from you guys:
Checked in w/ complete information:
Rahdokama
Requiem
Checked in but needs some information:
Vexus (Do you want to roll for you Day Job? Take 10? Use a boon?)
Wraith-19
Basalt Stonespeak
Not checked in yet:
Krara N'Krom
Another thing, given this is a special and a particularly fast paced one at that, I'm going to be aggressive with the bots, pushing forward every 24 hours. I'll try posting as much as I can and make sure that you guys can do as much as is possible.
Finally, there are space combats in this scenario, a few that are completely unavoidable, and I'm going to go with a system where people can post in any order but if you are posting outside of the current combat phase please put it in a spoiler. Speaking of space combat what positions do everyone prefer to have?
Vexus:?
Rahdokama:?
Requiem:?
Wraith-19:?
Basalt:?
Krara:?
'Requiem' |
Requiem can take on the Gunner role with their Boon - 3d4 light weapon. Or can do the newer Mystic role from Combat Operations Manual.

Who are you, and what will you bring to the party?
"Greetings and well met. Names Basalt Stonepeak. I'm part of Expeditionary Affairs Department liaising with the Starfinders. My clan has recently joined the greater galactic community and it is my mission to experience and report back."
Have you been assigned to any missions involving either the jinsul or gathering information and resources concerning the Scoured Stars? How have they affected you?
"Some of my sponsors have encountered these jinsul, but I have not.
If you were stranded in the Drift, what three things would you want (assuming the necessities of shelter, food, air and water are covered)?
"Silly question. I'd want a ship that could get me out of there. Or at least radio of some type to contact help."
Out of Character Questions
Has and in what way has this character been involved in pursuing the Scoured Stars / Jinsul storyline?
No, but he was created using Scoured Stars Veteran boon from 1-99. I've skinned it as he's a dwarven ambassador with a bit of experience.

No. Normally yes, but I'm rather busy at this time and don't feel I could do it justice.
Do you promise to let me know when you have a busy time in your life coming up so we can bot you as needed?
I'll do my best.
Are you comfortable with a hard minimum 1 post a day pace?
Yes.

Notes:
Vexus Ghostpuncher Omega-6 |
Vexus will just take 10 on the day job.
Vexus is probably best suited to Gunnery, but if no one else can do it, he could fill in the Chief Mate or Magic Officer position as well.
GM Sedoriku |
Vexus: Gunner (+8) (Chief Mate or Magic Officer back up)
Rahdokama: Captain (+9 Diplo +2 Inti) or Gunner (+6)
Requiem: Gunner (+8) (Magic officer (+12) back up)
Wraith-19:?
Basalt: Captain (+10+1d6 Diplo, +8 Inti) (Back up everything else)
Krara:?
Hrmm seems we have a large number of gunner and captain hopefuls but not too many people who can pilot or run computers/engineering. Wraith-19 has good modifiers in all three relevant skills, but she sadly can't run three positions. Luckily the biggest benefit of the Science Officer is running scans which a Magic Officer can do as well.

Krara |
Sorry for the delay in checking in...
Who are you, and what will you bring to the party? What, you haven't heard of Krara N'Krom? The Veskarium’s AEVG league (All-Elite-Veskarium-Gladiators) clearly hasn’t penetrated the Pact Worlds market yet. Well, you shall be able to see my talents in person soon enough! I have no doubt that my prowess is such that you will be as inspiried to rise to the occasion as our enemies are brought to cowering fear!
Krara is a Vesk Envoy, who enjoys Intimidating and demoralizing her foes. She can also call on you to rise to the occasion (Get ‘Em) and is a solid shot with her rifles.
Have you been assigned to any missions involving either the jinsul or gathering information and resources concerning the Scoured Stars? How have they affected you? Shortly after I joined this Society to gther new experiences and see if they were truly the reckless and frequently endangered force the media promises them to be, an assignment brought me into contact with several veterans of the first Scoured Stars conflict. Survivor's Salvation. And I finally had the chance to see those spider-folk for myself soon after. Heart of the Foe. The jinsul specimins left behind were not nearly as impressive as I had been led to believe. But this armada of theirs seems to consistent of only their most hardened warriros. I am eager to face them in peak form!
If you were stranded in the Drift, what three things would you want (assuming the necessities of shelter, food, air and water are covered)? A gym. Is a gym considered just one 'thing'? If so, then also a text-reader filled with the works of Kevin Sting. That should last a while. Oh, and Awesome Slam Sibling Ultimate. I hear Zo! Is going to be a DLC character soon!

Of course
Are you comfortable with a hard minimum 1 post a day pace?
Yes
What has been your favorite SFS Adventure with this character, and why?
Solar Sortie. For once Krara got to fully display her gladiator training to a captive audience, and interacting with a properly-appreciative audience. In fact assuming this mission wraps up as expected, she has a party of that Envar fellow's to attend...
Krara |
In terms of Starship Combats, Krara is unfortunately a passable backup in a lot of different things, but not exceptional at any.
Gunning +7
Engineering +6
Captaining +2 for encouragement, +10+1d6 for Demanding
For Chief Mate she does have +8 Athletics
Also, likely boons slotted are:
Personal - Jinsul Witness
Starship - Solar Powered Weapon
Social - Live Air Celebrity
Ally - Dream Whispers
Wraith-19 |
sorry for the radio silence. I'll be checking the posts at least once a day starting tomrrow.
I'm fine with any role. I'm at +11 for computers, piloting, and engineering.

An we're off! Little faster than I thought sadly but we should be ready to get moving. In addition to picking a leader to help with preparations, on slide 11 of the handouts there's a list of scouting missions that we can do from the 1st of April we can decide on one here out of character so when the go ahead for the next step comes we can move right on.
'Requiem' |
With our skills i suggest Interrogation/Persuasion first but happy to go with majority.
Wraith-19 |
Slotting boons:
High Society Influence (Iteration-177) (ally)
Protector of the Future (slotless)
Honorbound Allies (Starship)
Scoured Stars Memorial (social)
Krara |
Sticking with:
Personal - Jinsul Witness
Starship - Solar Powered Weapon
Social - Live Air Celebrity
Ally - Dream Whispers
Also the Interrogation/Persuasion one sounds good to Krara too
Vexus Ghostpuncher Omega-6 |
Vexus was alluding to 2-15 The Infernal Gallery.
Boon Slots:
Faction: Improved Acquisitives Champion
Social: Society Solidarity
Starship: Loaned Ship - Sunrise Maiden (if everyone is agreeable)
GM Sedoriku |
Beginning of the new school year here (Japan), which meant a lot of meetings this morning. The 7th (night of the 6th for the States) will also be a busy morning, but I should be able to update regularly until then.
Additionally there are a few more things we need to settle:
First, do we want to use Vexus's Sunrise Maiden or should we use either the Pegasus or Drake?
Secondly, we never did settle on starship positions
Might I suggest:
Pilot: Wraith-19 (+11)
Captain: Either Basalt or Rahdokama
Magic officer: Requiem?
Engineer: Either Basalt or Krara
Gunners: Vexus and who ever has a hand free?
This can definitely change but does this look good?

First Point - I'm happy to try out the Sunrise Maiden, never got the chance to use it on my characters ^^.
Starship roles I am happy with
Krara |
Of course! This is just a game in the end. Staying healthy's way more important
GM Sedoriku |
Okay it's that time again, where to next?
Data theft is one I am looking forward to running, but this is your game so feel free to suggest anything. Looking to post in 9 hours or sooner if there is a consensus of two or more.
'Requiem' |
I’m happy with anything ^^
Krara |
Data theft would be fine with Krara.
Runner up would be we hear reports over the fleet comms that there's any mission that just needs a bit more of a push to full cement the Society's advantage
Vexus Ghostpuncher Omega-6 |
Like Requiem, Vexus is up for anything. If people want Data Theft, let's do it!
GM Sedoriku |
Data theft would be fine with Krara.
Runner up would be we hear reports over the fleet comms that there's any mission that just needs a bit more of a push to full cement the Society's advantage
Actually Data Theft has the least amount of successes yet, as well. So that's one enthusiastic yes and two 'meh it works'. Let's go thieve some data!
GM Sedoriku |
We finally got an Aid Token. For, we ended up being the last to get one, but the instructions for them are on slides 9-11. If you've played a special with them before, I'm sure you know what to do with them. Anyways, ideas on whether you want to boost and pass or hold onto it for the next coming fight? You are where the jinsul fleet is so the next fight the enemies will all be benefiting from covering fire and there might be more of them than normal.
Vexus Ghostpuncher Omega-6 |
Yeah, not sure it is likely to help much with this encounter. I'm inclined to pass it on to someone who can use it.
