Sure thing.

Checking in. Ragi, eijel, fancy meeting you here.

It's a skittershot reunion!

Peff, do you love Supercharge Weapon as much as I do?

GMWolffauer, I'll pick up some basic lashunta tempweave. That will leave me with 101 units before the scenario starts.

Noted!

Its a way of life. I think last mission I ran it was all I used + cache. Gotta keep my soldiers and solarians happy.

GMWolffauer, Second-1 also needs to drop some credits:

Library Chip (culture) (250cr)
Basic Lashunta Tempweave (1950cr, from 1-05 chronicle)

Total: 2200cr
Starting: 2661cr
Scenario Start: 461cr

It's pretty awesome at these low levels. I originally took it thinking that Ears would use it himself, but he missed his very first attack roll and wasted the spell. So disappointing. But in his next combat he boosted a party marksman's gun and ended the encounter.

Since then, like you, I try to keep the party soldiers and solarians happy.

DMWolffauer, seeing Second-1 quote his chronicle got me thinking and I double checked the rules. I can't get the tempweave because it's level +2. I'll have to defer that purchase.

Checking in.

Excited to play! This is only my second PbP so apologies in advance for typos and miscommunications!

OOooo! Special guest announcement from Tyranius as Elsebo.

I hope I got those correct - and that's the extent of my abilities to help in this leg of the scenario.

For boons I'll be slotting:

Exo-guardians champion [Faction]
Faction’s Friend [Social]

This character is technically green himself (this being his first outing, officially). He does a few higher level scenarios that he technically doesn't have access to yet. If it makes more sense, I can switch out for a character with scenario experience.

Just looking for input.

They don't expect much experience for the 1-2 tier, so you should be fine.

Slotted Boons:
Ally: High Society (Iteration-177)
Faction: Second Seekers (Luwazi Elsebo)
Personal: Scoured Stars Survivor
Promotional: N/A
Social: Society Solidarity
Starship: Defender of the Fleet (Finest Weapons)
Slotless: Journey to the Scoured Stars: Segment 1, Protector of the Future

17 posts! You guys are moving fast.

Got to check chronicles. I'll post tonight.

That's a lot of resources! How do we manage them?

Most of them are situational or seem to require a consensus, but this one:

"The PCs can also requisition a single consumable item with an item level up to the PC’s level. These consumables cannot have permanent effects, and PCs who don’t use them during the course of the scenario must return them at the end of the adventure."

We can grab now and keep it, individually.

Pretty good. Anti-toxins and healing serums?

Some “interesting” options I found browsing, which might apply in the consumable category:

Level 1
Nanite Patch, Mk 1
Serum of Appearance Change
About 11 different Medicinals
Bonding Epoxy
Perfume, Pheromonal

Level 2
Nanite Hypopen, Brown
Diagnostic Lozenge
Cover Seed
Flame Melon Juice
Serum, Lingo
Spell Gem, 1st

Nice research, TR.

GMW, must our selections come only from sources that we own?

Everyone, what do you think about the starship boon? I like the +4 for us option better. I do wish it applied to gunnery too. That would be a round of awesome!

GMW, slotting the following boons:

Slotted
Ally:
Faction: Acquisitive Champion
Personal:
Promotional:
Social:
Starship: Solar Power Weapon System (+1 damage with "lasers", 1 RP for +4 )
Vanity:
Slotless: True Savior of Tasch (1 of 5 boxes completed. This will complete the second box in lieu of a day job roll.) Please disregard the day job roll above.

I agree with the +4.

We have some good firepower otherwise, Second-1 slotted "Finest Weapons" which is a reroll of any 1s on damage dice.

I'm thinking +4 to any one roll of Mysticism, Perception, or Sense Motive, also everyone counts as trained in Mysticism. Thoughts?

For this adventure, I'll allow anything that the "table" owns (which is everything, so long as it is Society legal). If you were allowed to keep it (or want to get one after the adventure), then you would need to own the source.

The cover seed is kind of interesting, and it's from a book that I don't have yet. I'll grab one of those if somebody has the book. Anyone?

Second-1, your (Iterations-177's) options are harder to choose between and I'm not sure if we all get the benefit, or just one of us. That's one poorly worded description.

Maybe GMW can clarify that first option.

Bonuses:

Fitch (Ears)
Fitch shows the PCs some of the inner workings of the Master of Stars, which help the PCs better understand other starships. Once during the adventure, all the PCs’ can gain a +4 bonus to any non-gunnery skill check during the same round of a starship combat.
OR
The PCs can force the crew of an enemy ship to take a –2 penalty to all nongunnery skill checks made during the round. The use of this ability must be declared at the start of the starship combat round.

Iteration-177 (Second-1)
The PCs gain significant insight into Iteration-177’s understanding of the divine and share a portion of his intuition. A PC can gain a +4 bonus to any one Mysticism, Perception, or Sense Motive check within the Scoured Stars. This allows the PC to count as being trained in Mysticism for the duration of the adventure.
OR
A PC can add a +2 bonus to any one saving throw while within the Scoured Stars.

Arvin (Casey)
The PCs improve their allies’ morale, making them more reliable in combat. Once during the adventure, the group can gain the benefit of aid another (+2 bonus) to all skill checks and attack rolls for 1 round.

Celita (Anasi)
Pleased with the PCs’ review, Celita outfits the Starfinder fleet with better weapons-tracking software for targeting jinsul ships. Once during the adventure, the PCs gain a +2 bonus to all starship combat gunnery rolls, and that attack does not consume ammunition in the case of a weapon with the limited fire property.

Zigvigix (Staar)
Zigvigix grants the PCs priority access to some Starfinder Society equipment. Once during the adventure, each PC can requisition a weapon with an item level up to the PC’s level + 1 for the duration of one mission. The group must use this ability prior to starting a new encounter, and this ability cannot be used during Part 4. The weapon comes with a full battery or magazine.
AND
The PCs can also requisition a single consumable item with an item level up to the PC’s level. These consumables cannot have permanent effects, and PCs who don’t use them during the course of the scenario must return them at the end of the adventure.

Radaszam (Sonomi)
The PCs assist overviewing the Society’s default plan of engagement. The PCs can reroll any one skill check while in the same location as a fleet.
OR
Once during the adventure, while in the same location as a fleet, the PCs can instead activate this reward to gain a +2 bonus to each of their initiative checks for that mission.

Note: The PC which earned the reward does not need to be the one who uses it.

I own all the books both pdf and physical, so take what you need. GM, let me know if you need any kind of proof on that point.

I own them as well and am happy to "lend" them to the table, so no need for proof.

Iterations-177's bonus can only be used by one player. (You've all gotten the "intuition", but only one will benefit from it during the adventure.

Of course, beyond Zigvigix's bonus, none of these need to be assigned until you want to use them.

Would a Pheromonal Perfume be available for the jinsul? Is so, Casey would take that as his Zigvigix gift.

No, I'm afraid not.

Counteractent Tier 1 it is then.

Going to go with a 1st lvl spell gem, Life Bubble

Zero Gravity rules (halfway through the page): http://aonsrd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=241

Armor rule on zero gravity: "Unless otherwise specified, the boots include a functionality that can anchor your feet to a solid surface in a zero-gravity environment, allowing you to orient yourself or return to normal footing when needed"

Thanks Staar!

Something else to discuss - what are your ship roles? We don't need them right now, but you should figure them out before our first starship combat.

Staar will be doing Open Crew Actions to help gunnery checks - that's about all she can do with her skill set.

Casey would be equally adept at Captain(+4 Diplo/+7 Int) or Pilot(+7).

Magic Officer most likely, could make a passable engineer or slightly worse gunner.

Ears is an engineer +10, or science officer +8, or pilot +7, or gunner +3. I haven't checked the new roles to see how he would fit those.

Casey would be equally adept at Captain(+4 Diplo/+7 Int) or Pilot(+7).

Actually, with your Dex +3 and ranks in piloting, you are our best gunner; followed by Ears with Dex +2 and ranks and piloting; and then Second-1/Sonomi Ikuyo with Dex +2 and no ranks in piloting.

We have to see what our ship will be (probably standard Starfinder Society starships), but we should employ at least two gunners.

Count me in to shoot 'em up!

By the way, I just updated a few items on my character profile as I forgot to add in Operative's Edge for the skill bonuses.

Love that Ops edge bonus.

Who else do we have that can fly? Pilot bonus boosts initiative and AC. That's at least as important as gunnery.

NPC gunners always have ridiculous bonuses - if we can maintain our shield "healing" that usually takes care of defense, since they almost always hit PC’s ships.

But we are lacking in piloting bonuses with Casey and Ears gunning - that’ll limit our flybys and skill checks against random things that might happen during a combat. We might as well bump Second-1 or Sonomi Ikuyo to secondary gunner, their gunnery bonus is just a bit lower.

o7 will go where best used. Second-1 can always switch between rounds as well

It is awesome that we've looked into 3 or 4 areas and haven't been jumped yet. Who's going to open the next door?

GMW, feel free to slow roll us til the attack happens. I like being able to chat while we wait for the hammer to fall.

And it is so awesome that we've split the party. Good thing Earshas a couple healing potions on hand, and is willing to share.
