[SFS Outpost III] 2-00 Fate of the Scoured God Tier 1-2 by GM Wolffauer (Inactive)

Game Master Wolffauer

I really wanted to play more control but at 1st that's grease and I've only ever had it mess with our melee instead of the baddies so I've been holding off.

I should probably grab Magic Missile or Overheat or something just have the option of damage output

We could have used at least one more DPS. Staar is not nearly optimized enough to be the main damage-dealer.

Grease sounds really good if you use it on an opponent's weapon, but I never had the opportunity. But not taking magic missile is really hard - the free damage is very tempting, specially on low levels.

Grease was a go to for me in PF. It just work as well in SF.

Staar seems quite able at damage dealing. I'm sure she's accounted for nearly half of our total damage, or maybe more.

Yeah at this point can't grease magic missiles, too bad ;)

Considering this is my third scenario, I could have saved enough for a mk 1 strength augment by now, and should be rocking a Str 20 and have weapon focus instead of heavy armor. My attack bonus could be +7 instead of +4, my damage 1d6+1+7 instead of 1d6+1+5.

She does have a nice enough damage when she hits, but she doesn't hit as often as she could.

But if I survive and get to reroll the character before leveling up, the biggest change will be raising the strength to 18 - I really like her addiction to necrografting and already have plans for the next ones.

And probably getting weapon focus instead of heavy armor.

As we near the end of the scenario I need two things:
- Everyone, please give me a boon roll (d20) if you roll an 19 or 20, give me a d3 to determine which boon you've won.
- Let me know if your character advanced to 2nd level as a result of the Scoured Stars Veteran boon (either by playing 1-99 with this character at level 1, or starting as a new character at level 2 via the Scoured Stars Veteran boon.)

1d20 ⇒ 2

I guess I won't get a single event boon this time...

1d20 ⇒ 3

Fully expect the next roll to be a 4

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Well, there's a 4 in there.

I found the conversation -- Soulfire fusion for solarian weapon crystals. Adds charisma bonus to damage. Takes some of the pressure off strength.

I already use one of those, it's a must-have for any solarian dealing damage. But it doesn't help with the attack bonus, unfortunately.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 14

I guess we broke that train.

The tragic thing is Staar's wicked awesome last stand wasn't witnessed fully by the party because we were busy elsewhere. She really ought to have hero status ++.

So many tough choices here. The devices seem to be weakening the monster. Do we try more of that, or do we just keep killing jinsuls?

I think we should at least take down blue and activate that device. Let's just hope the character that gets there first is up to the task.

Not sure how we're going to deal with range on Purple now that I'm out of that divine dim door but at least we can take down Blue. We'll punch this one out as fast as we can and work from there...might need to buy a grappler after this is all over.

Its over!

That was... unexpected.

Was surviving good enough?

Nice job everyone! You survived Fate of the Scoured God :)

The scenario ended because all three of the part 4 missions were completed by 2/3s of the tables.

This was not an easy combat - Staar called it with the Dream Monster being a CR 5. Each of the jinsul technomancers were CR 3. The only thing you had working in your favor was that they would not attack until attacked.

I'll be working on chronicles shortly.

Botting boon rolls:
Anasi 1d20 ⇒ 10
Sonomi Ikuyo 1d20 ⇒ 2
GM 1d20 ⇒ 12

*sigh*

Yow. Kind of disappointed . Kind of relieved. I thought Ears would have to do his best impression of Staar and try to hold the dream monster off on the bridge while the rest of you finished the jinsul firefight.

GM Wolffauer, thanks for running the game. As I said before, it was my first special. I had a really good time. That last fight was a nail biter.

Everybody, I really liked playing with you. I'll be very happy to do it again some time.

Hey, Peff, what was that dimension door power?

Special shoutout for all the table talk in the discussion thread. I really enjoyed that aspect of this game. It makes the games more enjoyable socially.

Granted by the other god, thanks to being nice to his mortal form in another scenario. Never expected to have it turn into something like that.

And definitely a fun scenario, tough but I'm glad it was, many new ideas for the character moving forward.

Thanks GM Wolffauer!

Thanks all for running this game. This was also my first special and I loved it! This was also the first game for Casey. As such, he can be rebuilt. Is there anything (other than his play style) that I could do to make him more impactful? Asking for a friend.

Yeah, it would be nice if we were allowed to finish out the mission, though I'm not sure how it would have gone.

As for the dimension door, that came from having the High Society Influence (Iteration-177) boon slotted. "Ailuros grants them some of their little remaining magical energy. Up to three times during the encounter, the PC can cast dimension door as a spell-like ability, using their character level as their caster level."

This was very fun, never expected to have a character pushed to the limits like this.

The format was very interesting - I'd like to see some statistics on what happened at each table, which missions they chose, how long they took to complete it. And if anyone died!

Chronicle sheets are finished. Let me know if you spot any problems.

That info would be interesting, but I'm not sure how we'd collect it. It isn't hard to track down the other tables that played, but you have to page through their game to see what they did.

Everything looks ok, thanks for GMing!

Awesome!

Do have a question, I have the Skittershot chronicle and can get +1 on that for a session played. Can I just go +1 and say 2-00 or do you need to sign off/add that to this chronicle yourself? Online is always a little weird adding things to other chronicles.

I updated your chronicle to have "+1 Skittershot" Shouldn't have any issues adding it to your Skittershot chronicle yourself. (At least that was how I did my skittershot...)

Great, I'll go pull down that copy then. Thank you and thank you again for running the game.

My chronicle looks good. Thanks again for running the game, GMP!

Botting boon rolls:

Anasi 1d20
Sonomi Ikuyo 1d20
GM 1d20

*sigh*

HAHAHA of course that's my roll >.<

Thanks for a great game everyone! I really enjoyed playing.

(I do not have the veteran boon)

Wow, and we're done. I'm really not sure how things would have turned out if we would have continued. I think if I had to pick I think we could have succeeded, but I had pretty substantial doubts.

Thanks for playing and running! It was a ron if fun, and I loved all of the group chatter in Discussion (even if I wasn't very talkative at times). Out of curiosity, would folks have interest in "keeping the band together" for another scenario? I could potentially run something if there's interest (or play) but I definitely understand if people are ready for a break after that last fight.

That is a fine and generous offer Flash. I've really enjoyed playing with this group and would gladly take you up on it.

The chronicle looks great. Thanks for running this! I hope to play with everyone again soon, it was a blast.

I only have two outpost games left, and one is almost ending - so I'm up for another table or two!

I'm always up for running scenarios I've not run before. For levels 1-4 that would include:

#1-18: The Blackmoon Survey
#1-24: Siege of Enlightenment (Starship)
#1-28: It Rests Beneath (Vehicle)
#1-30: Survivor's Salvation
#1-32: Acts of Association
#1-36: Enter the Ashen Asteroid
and any in #2-xx except #2-01

If any of you are interested in playing a live special. One of my local cons has gone online this year and is running #1-99 tomorrow - plenty of space and still time to sign up. Start time is 2 PM US Eastern.

SFS 1-99 The Scoured Stars Invasion

I have never done anything vehicle related. 1-28 could definitely be interesting to try at some point.

I'd gladly play with this group again, was fun for sure. Second-1 hit level 3 with this so lots of new things to play with.

Off the top of my head, I've already played Blackmoon Survey, Ashen Asteroid, and Acts of Association. Oh, I think Acts is a replayable scenario.

I'd jump at the chance to play with you all again.

Unfortunately Saturday is prime chore time. Domestic tranquility would be severely imperiled were I to play. Thanks for the offer. I hope you have a wonderful game.

Edit: And I've played Survivor's Salvation. Sadly that PC has since died.

I like the phrase "domestic tranquility" and for much the same reason, I also couldn't play on Saturday, though Second-1 has already been through that one.

Likewise, already did 1-28, and 1-36. S2 wise, I think only 2-07 I've done so after that fully open.

Did Second-1 use the Scoured Stars Veteran boon to reach second level?

No, he was already 2nd level when he did that, so am planning on using that boon for a new character here shortly.

For scenarios that are 1-4, I can only play in repeatables for credit. And I've played all of them except 2-07.

For what I could run for credit, I can GM all of the repeatables (I haven't run 2-03 yet) and can add in 2-13 and 2-21 (which I'm currently playing).

Is there anybody that can't play 2-13?

Or, GM Wolffauer, would you prefer to GM again?

If nobody has strong feelings one way or another I can start rolling dice. :)

I'm good either way. I can play most repeatables (though I'm going to need a new level 1 character soon). I've already played 2-13 though.

I'm always up for running scenarios I've not run before. For levels 1-4 that would include:

#1-24: Siege of Enlightenment (Starship)
#1-30: Survivor's Salvation
and any in #2-xx except #2-01

Of the list I can play only in those two (with this character).

Of the very few available from season 2 I'm most interested in #2-05 Meeting of Queens.

Is there anybody that can't play 2-13?

I can't.

I'd also be very interested in playing an AP in campaign mode - any one other than Dead Suns, already got a character in that.

Even one of the shorters APs would be very nice. xD

You've been busy.

***

I've only played a few season 2 games, and so am flexible there.

I can run Skittershot and Skittercrash, though I'd need a day or two to set up. I didn't see tags immediately on them so not sure if they're replayable or not.
