So, shall we try Agillae-4 or Agillae-5 next?
Agillae-4 is Data Hack, marked as infiltration and spying.
Agillae-5 is Recovery Efforts, marked as investigation.
I am willing to do any of the missions, just making suggestions to start the conversation.

Presumably you are all aware of the Conquer Covid 19 Humble Bundle.
Among many other things it has Starfinder: Pact Worlds Campaign Setting which is the book with Magboots.

We do a lot of ooc tactics discussion. Do we want to use a discord channel for the table?

I vote for a discord channel so we can alert people to when posts happen faster.
Neon Ten
|
Do you think we could get a table on Roll for Combat? My list of Discord servers is becoming long, so not adding yet another server to the list would be an advantage.
Jerris "Maverick" Sakai
|
That's the one Tolar and I played on before.
T'kai
|
I'm good with Roll for Combat. User name is mikeo37#8312.
Charli Poshkettle

When my colleagues get a bit more damaged, I am good with using that aid token. I am barely up!
Charli Poshkettle
|
I didn't forget I was a gnome! I just don't want to use that reroll to reverse six hit points. Though if Red goes after me... maybe I'll wish I had.
Id-Sinitis
|
Go for it! It'll come back around eventually. Rather use it and keep it moving than hoard it.
Jerris "Maverick" Sakai
|
What is the "looking obliquely" rule? Is that a Pathfinder thing? I don't see it in any of the Starfinder books.
Tolar Buntu

Jerris "Maverick" Sakai
|
Nice, I have to add that one to Maverick's bag of tricks.
T'kai
|
For this set of skills, I have Culture +18, Survival +14 and Disguise +2.
Jerris "Maverick" Sakai
|
I've got a +15 in culture, a +8 in disguise, and a +9 in survival. What does everyone else have?
Tolar Buntu
|
Acrobatics +14
Athletics +19 (+27 total to climb)
Physical Science +5 *
Survival +16
Neon Ten
|
I have both Culture and Survival.
Culture +18 + potential Library Chip depending on if Shifty allows it for this check.
Once per day from Trained for Trouble I can roll twice and take the better result.
Survival +14
I do have +2 in Disguise because of Charisma, but that really isn't a good option for him.
Is it better if we all use the same skill, or doesn't it matter?
Tolar Buntu
|
"Multiple people succeeding at the same type of check do not increase this total."
So probably we want our best people trying and if you are not great at the skill try to aid.
Jerris "Maverick" Sakai
|
Unless Charli has a better bonus in disguise, Maverick can give that skill a try, preferably with some aid rolls to back him up. Our highest culture bonus should try for that one along with some aid rolls too.
Jerris "Maverick" Sakai
|
Charli is only a +6 so Maverick will roll disguise.
T'kai
|
I can try to aid Maverick needing an 8 or I can auto assist ID to make a 30 for the Culture check.
Jerris "Maverick" Sakai
|
Can I get some aid rolls before I do the disguise check.
Charli Poshkettle
|
I am not sure where you want my roll. So I placed two options under spoilers and will let the party decide which way Charli went.
Neon Ten
|
I think Charli should go Culture, she has the best bonus and it is unlikely we can make the Disguise check if no one is great at it. Although it is easier than the other two checks, we still probably need a total of around 30 to succeed.
I would much rather have two successes and one failure than two failures and one success.
Next round of checks we will need to be much better organized about it.
Id-Sinitis
|
Sorry, missed all this. Happy to have Id’s Culture be to aid another.
Charli Poshkettle
|
We will need to be more organized on the next round. I will be upset to have two failures when we could have had two successes.
Id-Sinitis
|
Yeah, that was my bad. Sorry, I glossed over the "one check per skill" line and was still in PF2 mode where everyone making their own check is better than everyone aiding one (had just GMed PFS2 1-05 that specifically calls that out). I'll be less trigger-happy next phase.
Charli Poshkettle
|
Charli just took the Intimidate. It's one of her best skills, and she speaks Jinsul, so it was the obvious choice! I leave the rest of you to be tech-y and stealthy.
Neon Ten
|
* You can break in through a back door (Hard Engineering)
* Distract the guards (Hard Bluff)
* Steal a key card (Average Sleight of Hand).
Neon Ten has +20 Engineering, +2 Bluff (untrained) and can not attempt the Sleight of Hand.
Who leads on the Engineering? Do we take 10 and then aid to make sure?
Id-Sinitis
|
Very convenient natural 20 to aid with Id's Charisma penalty.
Tolar Buntu
|
Pretty sure Tolar has the highest Athletics but the dice can be fickle.
Neon Ten
|
* You can quickly scale the stairways (Hard Acrobatics OR Athletics)
* You can try to find a shortcut (Hard Perception)
—
Neon Ten is bad at all of these. These are Hard checks, even on a natural 20 Neon Ten would fail these checks.
Perception +0
Athletics -1
Acrobatics +5
I assume I would need to use the same skill (Athletics) in order to Aid Tolar.
Right now his best bet is try a Aid on whomever is going for the Perception check.
Charli Poshkettle
|
Charli's got the acrobatics check (I went for acrobatics because my Perception is worse, despite full investment.) Go ahead and aid Perception, Neon!
Neon Ten
|
Alright, I aided someone's perception.
We do need a better lead for Perception if we are to make that check. We aren't going to get enough Aid rolls to make T'Kai's check a success.

Tolar Buntu
|
Shifty, If by some chance Tolar crits again do you prefer doubling the damage or just rolling the extra dice?
And I spent the 4th charge of my Haste circuit.
Charli Poshkettle
|
Paratrooper Strike is fine with me too.
Hmm
Id-Sinitis
|
Paratrooper strike works for me! We should maybe hold off on Trench Assault while the jinsul fleet is there though, unless we have a way of staving it off.
For what it's worth, player feedback from past runs of this special has indicated Scanner Defense as a favorite.
Neon Ten
|
I had fun playing it face to face at low tier.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out in PbP.
Tolar Buntu
|
I'm just going off of the mission names. I'm fine with Scanner Defense. We can do it after Paratrooper strike.
Neon Ten
|
Sorry, I wasn’t asking you to change your mind. I have played this, someone who hasn’t should lead which mission we pick.
Jerris "Maverick" Sakai
|
Paratrooper strike is fine by me. What is the time frame between each mission? Do you recover all your lost stamina, hit points, etc...? If so, I won't use a resolve point to do that right after our last fight.
Jerris "Maverick" Sakai

Did we want to use any of the boons acquired at the beginning of this adventure now?
