Give your answer to make a positive impression (RP and detail bonuses are available), and then a diplomacy roll.

Many have banded together in Absolam Station, living among the multitude of cultures. Here they learn or practice trades that benefit both themselves and others. Some choose more selfish pursuits such as war or criminal activities. These say there is no other way, many agree, some do not.
Others still choose to follow their wanderlust and pursue the mysteries of the cosmos, or those left behind by ancients. Science, faith, and even just a starship are all employed to these ends. "

"Woo!" Anasi lets out a yelp of excitement as the jinsul falls.
"Where... guys?"
They look and see Second-1 deep in thought with the center of the console. Down and to their right, they see Staar in a similar position.
"...Shooting more jinsuls it is." Anasi says, as they turn and fire on the jinsul on the other 60-foot column.
Anasi takes one shot at orange as a standard, and then loads a new battery into the weapon as a move. -2 penalty for range increment.
Shot 1: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 - 2 = 4
Shot 1 damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Shot 1 crit?: 1d4 ⇒ 4
So many 4s

"It looks like there are 3 more terminals. Does anyone think we need to hit them all?" He aims at the far jinsul and attempts throw that one off, "Hey! You! Ugly jinsul! Yeah you, look what we've done to your friends!"
Trick Attack(blue): 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 4 = 33

"Nice shot, kid. Save some of that for when I get your gun really working."
Ears continues slogging up the ramp. "And yeah, try to take them all down one at a time."
Double move as shown. I gotta get some jump jets.
Hopefully Staar and Second-1 will have some good info for us.

GM Wolffauer |

While Second-1 and Staar commune with the god, Ansai take a shot at a new target, but misses.
Casey lines up and hits his target.
But is it a crit?: 1d4 ⇒ 2 Nope
Sonomi is still up, and Second-1 may want to use their Intel to get a second Physical Science roll...

Second-1 remembers completely on his own about intel they received on this mission.
Physical Science: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Next round actions pending results...probably collapse and teleport the group toward orange?

Sonomi looks around - seeing her friends interacting with the weird alien consoles. uh guys - maybe now is NOT the time to mess with alien tech?
Following Casey's lead she aims at the blue jinsul. If I squint I think the shot is more likely to hit... -2 for 60ft range
To Hit: 1d2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 - 2 = 2
Piercing Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Jinsul takes a -2 to AC for 6 rounds if it hits... Snap Snap Snap as the shot goes wide.

Should I use my tower intel as well, merciful GM?

GM Wolffauer |

You may, but it's a long shot. Second-1's odds for improving were a lot better than yours. (Though we take the best of the two rolls)

The dream monster roars and focuses on Staar. If flies swiftly towards her and slams into her. Sorry Staar!
Slam: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

"Staar! Anasi!, Kid! Everyone, drop prone and fire at the jinsul over there! Someone come here for a weapons boost."
Ears points at the jinsul to the east. (Orange)
The ysoki forces himself up the last few steps, unto the level platform and follows his own instruction to drop prone.
Move as shown. Will supercharge the first taker who ends up adjacent as my standard action. You don't have to shoot at orange, if you have a better plan. I'll supercharge you anyway.
Dropping prone should keep jinsuls on the lower levels from shooting or magic missiling us.

Bright green tears stream down Sonomi's face as yet another one of her shots goes wide. I'll tell you one thing... it's a cruel, cruel world...
I'm assuming I'm super charged...
-2 AC for 6 rounds on the Orange Jinsul.
Sonomi also takes a moment to swap out her battery and lie prone.
Assuming she can do both, otherwise she lies prone and swaps the battery first thing next round.

Swift action to drop prone. And you were the first taker, so you get the supercharge. I'll shed a tear with you over the miss.

Over comms
"It asked me about where its followers are now...and seemed remorseful over its choices, that it only wanted to protect them all. Its sad, really...though these jinsul dont seem to care."

"Ouch..."
Anasi sees their short life flash before their eyes as the magic missiles hit. Then, all of a sudden, they feel inspired.
Yay healing!
2d6 Stamina!: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8
Still feeling woozy however, they take out a serum and consume a healing serum.
1d8 HP: 1d8 ⇒ 7
"Okay, that's... Staar!" Anasi looks over and seems their companion fall to the dream monster. They fear all is lost, but somehow the dream monster is attacking nonlethally. Is it even real?
"Back to the jinsuls!"

Staar gets up, facing the manifestation of the god. She attunes photon, forms her gauntlet and punches it hoping the weakened condition let's her strike it .

GM Wolffauer |

I believe Staar wanted to activate the Arvin boon, which has to be done at the start of the round (so couldn't be done last round). I'm gonna say it is active this round. The group gains the benefit of aid another (+2 bonus) to all skill checks and attack rolls for 1 round, so your now 14 hits. Go ahead and finish your crit.

![]() |

I vote we use the Arvin bonus this round. +2 to all attacks and skill checks. We've got to put orange down.
"Anasi, swoop in there and blast that jinsul! Sonomi, creep right up to the edge. Don't panic! Stay calm. Just focus on your shot. I'll boost your needler. Just focus...."
I don't imagine myself dictator of the party, feel free to ignore Ears. If we're going to put orange down we need to concentrate our fire and minimize the range brackets.
If Sonomi's willing Ears pulls out a spare battery and uses it to cast supercharge weapon on her needler. If not, he supercharges his own shock pistol.
Edit: Ninja'd by our GMW and Second-1 !

Casey cackles at the luck of the jinsul in front of him as he moves around the creature uses the blast from Second-1 as a distraction to try and take this thing down.

Staar wakes up for the last time on her own, covered in blood and mysterious substances leaking from her augments. She attunes photon, forms her solar gauntlet and tries to punch the embodiment of a deity’s nightmares.

If a KAC 20 doesn’t connect, we are probably doomed. Doomed I say!

GM Wolffauer |

Second-1 hits and knocks down the jinsul. Casey misses the prone creature.
Staar, refuses to stay down and smacks the dream monster good.

I have no idea if he still has biohacks available, but if he does, the creature takes a -2 to AC for 6 rounds.

Sonomi strikes a critical spot on the jinsul and down it goes.
Anasi quickly shifts to the other combatant and hits.
The dream monster strike Staar again.

Wow - so much occurred - I vote Staar bots for me on all my rolls.... she's much better at them
From prone, Sonomi looks very stunned that her shot actually brought down a Jinsul. I did it she whispers I DID IT! It was like an out of body experience! she shouts. Sonomi turns and crawls 5 feet toward the blue Jinsul. Here goes nothing!

"Whoohoo! Great shot,Sono! " Ears cheers the jinsul's abrupt demise.
I'd have gladly given you the supercharge, since you were willing to delay. So...
"You get one shot at this." Out of a pocket, Ears pulls his flashlight. He slaps Sonomi's needler. "She's all synched up. Go get 'em."
He watches the shot go wide. "Second-1, what's going on over there?"
Move action to retrieve spell cache, flashlight. Cast supercharge from the cache.

Anasi flies over to blue (still 30 feet above the jinsul) and takes another shot.

Casey watched the needle from Sonomi take down the jinsul and he can't help but cheer, "Nice shot, Sonomi! I'm glad I was able to take it's attention off your for a second."
He moves up to Second-1 as he activates the terminal, not being able to keep himself from looking over the android's shoulder. "I'm ready when you are. Where are we off to next?"
