Outpost III SFS 2-00 Fate of the Scoured God, Tier 1-2 (Revvy Bitterleaf) (Inactive)

Game Master Revvy Bitterleaf

Qwyn manages to hide his attack from his target and surprises it with a bullet hole in a shoulder joint.

Aravon and Silas keep focusing on the Jinsul and score some more hits

Bar goes for what he thinks is a tactical position as the Jinsul's many eyes track his every move Jinsul's can't be flanked and sticks his knife in his target's thorax which seems to hurt it more then a normal cut with a knife would nicking a vulnerable spot.

Damage Blue: 9
Red: 23

Tania draws her pistol while moving to spread out and shooting at the blue jinsul.

Static arc pistol: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Electricity damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

GM feel free to bot me if it's ever just me that you're waiting on with my crappy schedule. I don't want to hold everyone up

GM feel free to bot me if it's ever just me that you're waiting on with my crappy schedule. I don't want to hold everyone up

I will if you haven't posted in a roughly 24 hour period since my last post, but you still had a few hours

Tania shoots her pistol at one of the Jinsul, you've drawn his attention away from the control device as well now.

The Jinsul next to Silas and Aravon takes step backwards and teeters almost precariously close to being over the edge as it summons forth globes of arcane energy and sends it out towards Silas
Magic missiles damage Silas: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 = 9

The one next to Bar also takes a careful step back and summons 2 globes of magical energy which it launches at Bar
Magic missile damage Bar: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6

The other Jinsul concentrate on maintaining the energy flow which seems to be imbalanced a bit now

The Big creature is now glowing more on one side then on the other and is cascading waves of energy

If you are adjacent to one of the control devices it's still an option to interact with it as a full round action

Damage Blue: 9

Aravon steps after the Jinsul and tries to hit it again

Attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage, acid: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Step and punch.

Qwyn will slither around the column...

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

...and pop out on the other side and fire at the Jinsul...

Pistol vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Trick Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Silas steps closer and strikes again with his sword.

tactical dueling sword: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

crit damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Taking the magic missiles to the chest, Bar grunts in a bit of pain. Resisting the urge to check his chest for burn marks, he keeps his eyes on his foe.

Bar weaves around the Jinsul, and attacks with the knife in his hands.

"Qwyn. Tania. One of you attempt to access that device it was working on...."
Trick attack with bluff: 1d20 + 10 + 4 - 20 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 4 - 20 = 5<-- is the CR of the tricked opponent
Survival knife to the thorax (KAC): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 Vs possible flat footed
Damage (Slashing): 1d4 ⇒ 4
Trick damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

I'm not sure at what time I can update tomorrow and since we have 4 out of 5 players already I'll quickly update now

Aravon misses with his attack

And even though Qwyn surprise his target his shot misses

Silas get's a very good cut in and makes people wonder less why an Witchwarper is only making weapon attacks as his attack brings down one of the Jinsul

Bar fighting through his own pain cuts his target who didn't see it coming

NPCing Tania in
Listening to Bar suggestion Tania moves in closer to be able to fully concentrate on the device in a few seconds as she fires her gun at the Jinsul
Bluff: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
To hit EAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage if hit: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Trick attack: 1d4 ⇒ 4
and she ends up shocking her target

I know the map ends, but I don't believe the pillar just cuts of like that so...
The Jinsul next to Bar takes a step back and sends 2 more missiles, one for Tania and one for Bar
Damage Bar: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Damage Tania: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The other 3 Jinsul try to even out the energy flow while the Creature sways from left to right as it appears to being overloading with energy.

Seeing that the creature is swaying and being overloaded....over comms,[/b]"Aravon, Silus, one of you get on that device to see what it does."[/b]

Bar rushes the baddy again, attempting to bluff it that he is going to go behind it, and at the last moment slicing at its torso again.

Trick attack with bluff: 1d20 + 10 + 4 - 20 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 4 - 20 = 6 <-- is the CR of the tricked opponent
Survival knife to the thorax (KAC): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 Vs possible flat footed

Qwyn will follow behind Bar...

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

...stop and then fire at the Jinsul as she moves forward to attack...

Pistol vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Trick Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Silas comes closer to the device.
What roll is to operate device? I dont have Computers or Engineering I have Mysticism

Mysticism: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

@silas - take a look at the spoiler in the gm post

Aravon smiles seeing the Jinsul fall and turns only to see Silas beginning to interact with the device. He begins to run onto next tower.

Double move
Entropy Points: 3 EP.
Slope was difficult terrain so 1/2 movement if I recall correctly.

Bar rushes the Jinsul in front of him and surprises it with a knife cut to the body and is in turn surprises as he's almost hit with a bloody spray as Qwyn's blaster drops the Jinsul to the ground.

Silas interacts with the device

He hears a voice in your head asking
"Who are you strange newcomers?
Make a diplomacy or culture check, also giving a detailed answer might give you various bonuses to your check so you might want to think about what you answer here

Aravon makes his way to the next pillar struggling to get uphill

@Aravon; correct ramps are difficult terrain. It hasn't come up (yet) but you can also try to topple one of the smaller pillar (on the map they look like 1 square with a circle in them against one of the platforms and create a ramp to walk up

Seeing Silas go for the control device she decides to double down on the attempt and reaches out for the device next to her

"Where are my heralds?"

Thinking to herself
"..what are these Heralds he's talking about?..."
she decides to try to bluff her way past these
Options are bluff or mysticism for this check. Again with the chance to get a bonus for mentioned various things

Bluff: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

The device in front of her shuts down and the energy feed to the big creature seems to realy mess it up. It goes down to one knee and scream silently at the sky

I'll use Silas roll with his diplomacy bonus to keep things going

The device next to Silas also shuts down and the energy feed is even more diminished towards the big creature who now goes down on both needs and seems to scream even louder in silence.

The other 3 Jinsul keep operating their devices, trying to compensate the energy flow for missing 2 devices

Aravon runs uphill, and it is not easy for him.
I need to stay in shape for this thinks to himself. He hears the screams from the being and shares via comms

"I don't know what you are doing, but it works. Keep doing it!"

As he reaches the top of the platform he aims with his pistol and takes a shot.

Attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage, piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Entropy points: 3EP
EAC/KAC: 17/18

Bar nods at Tania and Qwyn and heads towards the toppled demigod.

"Sorry, but I am going to have to use you to climb down," Bar says as he starts down.

Atheletics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

And has problems figuring how to climb down the demigod without possibly putting his foot or hand into a sensitive spot.

I am guessing that I will need to do 30' of climbing, and then 30' of a difficult slope on Ailuros, as you say his torso is a pillar, and the legs would be a toppled column? If so..that means 2 successful checks to get down....sigh

I am guessing that I will need to do 30' of climbing, and then 30' of a difficult slope on Ailuros, as you say his torso is a pillar, and the legs would be a toppled column? If so..that means 2 successful checks to get down....sigh

Direct quote from the scenario; Ailuros’s torso functions as a standing column, while their legs function as toppled columns.

So the one you are on is 60ft high, Ailuros is 30ft high..so you need to bridge 30ft down somehow to get down on top of him and then you can walk relatively easy down - difficult terrain

That is what I figured...so likely 2 athletic checks to get down....or one very lucky acrobatic roll for 1d6 non-lethal and 1d6 lethal as I hit his lap. Then just walk down....

The Starfinders cheer as they scatter the jinsul infantry, allowing the junior agents to gain ground. The jinsuls retreat into the lower level of the structure.

Table GMs, the Routed Infantry condition is now in effect

Silas follows Aravon takes out his pistol and start to shoot the Purple one.

Laser Pistol, Azimuth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Qwyn will drop his pistol, draw his Shirren sniper rifle, and fire at purple as well...

Sniper Rifle vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6

Aravon continues to move and shoots the Jinsul at the center pillar. Hitting it it where it hurts

Bar starts his decent

Silas follows Aravon and takes out his pistol and start to shoot the same targets. Hitting one of it's legs.

Qwyn takes out his sniper rifle and shoots at the same one as well.

Tania moves to the edge of the platform and takes a shot at the same Jinsul
1d20 ⇒ 9
but ends up knocking a stone loose from the pillar instead.

The shot at Jinsul concentrates its energies on Aravon, its visibly shaken but still alive and kicking
Magic missile damage Aravon: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4, 4) + 3 = 13

While the other 2 try to keep their devices working while trying to control the tremors in their bodies

Damage:
Purple: 14

You now have a 25% chance per attack to deal critical damage

Qwyn will reload and fire at purple again...

Sniper Rifle vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Crit<=25: 1d100 ⇒ 36
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Bar will do the slightly more dangerous option and jump down, hoping that Ailuros's lap is pretty yielding

Acrobatics to reduce falling damage: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

I think that means 1d6 lethal and 1d6 nonlethal since I am falling willingly and made the acrobatic DC 15 check...GM you can roll damage.

Bar lands on Ailuros's lap...."Sorry for that" he calls and stands back up, and barely moves much down the demigods legs.

Okay, that should be down the torso, half my move to stand, and 5 feet down the 30 foot slope....

Silas shoots the Purple one again.

Laser Pistol, Azimuth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Aravon absorbs some of the energy that the Jinsul threw at him and disperse it. Mitigate -2 to damage and DR1 which makes it 10 damage to Aravon

He takes a step forwards and hits the Jinsul with his pistol, aiming at the head

Entropic strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage, B&A: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Entropic Pool: 2 EP
Reaction: Mitigate

EAC/KAC: 17/18

Qwyn reloads and fires of a shot again hitting the center Jinsul again

Bar jumps down and finds his landing spot to not be very yielding, but his cat like muscles and reflexes save him from greater injuries
lethal damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Non lethal damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Silas also fires his gun again and puts another small hole in the Jinsul's skin
Crit?: 1d100 ⇒ 56

Aravon adds to the hurt
Crit?: 1d100 ⇒ 41

The central Jinsul takes a step back and sends 2 more missile into Aravon
Magic missile damage Aravon: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10

Tania tries to climb down
2d20 ⇒ (10, 12) = 22
and follows after Bar

The other 2 Jinsul try to keep their devices under control while the Big creature slowly starts to rise again, getting one leg underneath itself once again.

Bar will hustle down the leg, and then move around the huge creature in a circuitous rout to the southern most piller.

Double move to where I am at...

Rinse, repeat...

Qwyn will reload and fire at purple again...

Sniper Rifle vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Silas moves closer and shoots into the Purple again.

Laser Pistol, Azimuth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Bar continues on his way

Qwyn getting into a grove reloads and shoots the center Jinsul again.

Silas moves closer and adds another laser burn to the already badly damage Jinsul causing it to drop to the floor.

Aravon+Tania
Not party

Since Aravon is next to a control device and there's no longer a Jinsul at the central pilar

Aravon's face is splattered with the blood of the Jinsul, as one of the shoots take it down.

He raises his hand and reluctantly touches the device. He feels the separation and fear in the question asked. And he answers

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

"Your worshipers are fed of you, they hunger for freedom. Your worshippers turned their back on you, and you will be forgotten!"

As Aravon communicates through the 3th device he feels like he makes a successful connection. The 3 people who had interactions with the control devices hear from deep inside their minds

Welcome my new subjects. You've made me second-guess my past decisions to shield mys people from all that lies beyond the Scoured Stars."

"I have reservations about my herald of conquest, who has become corrupted by chaos and ambition"

I only ever meant to protect my faithful and just want for them to be happy and safe."

The big creature suddenly goes quite and sinks down to both knees again, It's arms and head raises up towards the sky before it silently topples over and lands with a *thud* face first on the ground.
The energy loop feedback causes the Jinsul at the other 2 devices to run away from them as sparks start to shoot out of them.

After taking a bit of break you climb back up out of the pit.

Several elite jinsul commanders fend off Starfinder forces from the fortifications built around the edge of the pit. As the Starfinders gain ground, the jinsuls retreat into the lower levels of the structure, making them easy targets for you.

You enter this underground chamber it is dark, and the metal walls rise to the ceiling 20 feet overhead.
There is one Jinsul commander wearing armor and wielding a pistol that's leaking small flames and trailing smoke.

You actually start a bit further apart but my estimate is that you'd just use the first or possible 2 rounds moving forward due to all the walls in between so skipping those to save some time and just moved the Jinsul and your party closer together

Jinsul in armor

Map is up on slide 20

Aravon moves forwards between the walls, he keeps his shield in his hand and move as far as he can to close the distance on the Jinsul

Double move: +1 EP

Threatening jinsul, giving my allies +1 to hit.
EAC/KAC: 17/18

Bar moves forward, seeing Aravon get into the Jinsul's face.

Attempting to take a trick shot, he hopes he can help his ally.

Trick shot Bluff: 1d20 + 10 + 4 - 20 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 4 - 20 = 5 <---CR that Bar Tricked (if he did)
Autopistol attack (KAC): 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15 Possibly flat footed

Trick damage (if applicable): 1d4 ⇒ 3

Silas moves closer to the enemy. double move

Qwyn will sneak behind Bar and pop out as he fires with a shot of his own...

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Pistol vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Trick Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Aravon moves forward shielding himself as best as he can.

Bar with a little help from Aravon manages to distract the Jinsul and hit it after moving to a better tactically sound location. As Bar's attack hit a magical feedback loop trigger sending some pain back
DC 14 will save vs share the pain If failed take 3 damage

Silas moves closer But didn't actually move on the map, I've moved you closer. Not sure if that's where you wanted to go though

Qwyn will sneak behind Bar and pop out as he fires with a shot of his own. The Jinsul sees the shot coming but it too late to respond and is nicked in the side of it's helmet by the bullet.

Tania tries to distract the Jinsul before shooting him
2d20 + 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (14, 9) + (2) + (1) = 26
and doesn't see the shot until it smacks into it's head. It barely hits and only connects thanks to a combination of Aravon distracting the Jinsul and not seeing it coming until it's too late.

Taking a step back the Jinsul concentrates and Aravon feels as if his head is about to explode

Bar winces as some kind of feedback happens.

After that small jolt of pain, he moves forward...hopefully lining up another shot.

With a small stumble, Bar makes it seem that he loses his balance, and shoots from a three point stance...possibly tricking his opponent.

Trick shot Bluff: 1d20 + 10 + 4 - 20 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 4 - 20 = 1 <---CR that Bar Tricked (if he did)

Damage (Piercing): 1d6 ⇒ 4
Trick damage (if applicable): 1d4 ⇒ 2

And apparently the pain in Bars head causes the shot to go wild....

Silas takes his pistol out and starts to shoot.

azimuth laser pistol: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

The energy emanating from Dhurus and its hierocrats ripples and wanes, indicating their vulnerability to elite Starfinders’ attacks.

Table GMs, the Weakened Herald condition is now in effect.

Will save, DC16: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6

Aravon yells in pain, as he reaches for his ways of handling it. Using mitigate to reduce it by 2 and my DR1 so 12 damage

He steps forwards and hits the jinsul with his shield.

Attack@EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Damage, B&A: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

"You are not leaving this place alive."

Are we still within the effect of critical hit? If so
Crit on 1: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Using mitigate to reduce it by 2 and my DR1 so 12 damage

I'm pretty sure DR only works against physical damage and not exploding my mind type of damage

The numerical part of a creature’s damage reduction is the amount of bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage the creature ignores from each attack. Mindthrust damage doesn't have any of these types so isn't reduced.

And yes, the effects are in effect from now on in every encounter. I'll admit I forgot until you mentioned it. Also the weakened Herald is only for table tier 9+ so doesn't effect you guys

Bar is distracted by the painful backlash and his shot goes wild

Silas manages to hit with his attack
Crit?: 1d100 ⇒ 77

Aravon's ethropic strike bypasses most of the Jinsul though armor

Qwyn adds some more damage to the armored Jinsul

Tania manages to bluff her way into tricking the Jinsul to look left while she attacks from the right and sends another blast into your opponent

The Jinsul in turn takes another step away from Aravon and concentrates on making the half-orc's head hurt

Aravon again fails to resist the damage, and uses his last part of accumulated energy to resist some of the damage Last ep to mitigate 2 damage => 11 dmg

He takes a step forwards hoping that his allies will take the Jinsul down. He takes a swing and hits Jinsul with his fist

Entropic@EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
