[b]"Sure, if we can't use the scenario credits for Ziggy Grimace will chip in[/ooc]

Reaching the warehouse, Grimace cracks their knuckles with a grim snarl - finally hoping for a challenge in this feathered beast. It had killed the gangster but would find that Vesk was a tougher task indeed. As they stalk through the warehouse, they keep their eyes and ears peeled for signs of the stalker.

Perception round 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Perception round 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Vyecmuraf can't help peaking through some of the half-opened crates, though they make quite a show of keeping a close eye on their surroundings.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Everybody spends 12, and I'll spend 14 on our grift gift to Ziggy.

Only posted one round above. So

HFG drives Jenny deeper into the warehouse.

Perception, HFG: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Perception, Jenny: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Nobody sees the stalker yet, luckily it don't see you yet, or you ain't close enough yet. Vyec does see a Medpatch though.
1 round this time, plus some of you are getting close to it.

With the drone examining the vehicle in one corner of the Warehouse, Grimace moves closer to the hole in the ground to inspect it, rolling their neck to loosen the muscles in anticipation of the fight ahead.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Aravon follows Grimace and stands not that far from him.

Perception, darkvision: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

He sets his feet carefully as he looks left and right trying to spot the monster.

"Are we certain it's here?" the kisatha asks, tucking the medpatch into their backpack and following after Aravon and Grimace.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Perception, HFG: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Perception, Jenny: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

HFG shuffles slowly forward, his attention split between observing his surroundings and monitoring Jenny.

"That's a pretty big hole. It could have gone between decks. I guess. How large are these creatures?"

Grimace is close enough to notice the feather stalker and it notices you. Good job, it didn't get a surprise round on you.
init: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (3) = 6 feather stalker
init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 HFG
init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 Vyecmuraf
init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 Aravon
init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 Grimace

Not going to try to kill-steal on Grimace. Hulk! Smash!

Aravon runs behind the crates and approaches the beast from behind. He tries to keep his head low so that the beast does not see him.

Double move: getting 1 entropy point, if the enemy has reach his movement provokes.
Entropy Points: 2
EAC/KAC: 17/18

Aravon Provides flank to whoever attacks from the front. As well as he has a feat: coordinated shot, giving the ones that shot +1 to hit.

"Don't just stand there gawking." Vyecmuraf stands next to Grimace and points at the creature. "Go get it!"

Move and Get 'Em.

HFG crosses behind the kasatha in order to get a better view of the fight. He steers Jenny out to the side so that she's less likely to hit any party members with friendly fire.

Smiling darkly at Vyec's command, revealing sharpened white canines against their dark tattooed features Grimace rushes forwards towards the revealed monster. As they approach they leap, rising a knee into the creature's breastbone with a snarl.

Unarmed attack, get em, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 3 = 11 for piercing damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

will reroll that, 2 novas

Unarmed attack, get em, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 3 + 2 = 19

Grimace hits the creature and it shrieks in pain.
It attacks Grimace back hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
All heroes are up

Aravon smacks the enemy with his shield focusing on accumulated energy to do more damage.

Attack vs EAC, flank, get'em, full attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 19
Damage, A&B, strengthen with 1ep: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Damage, A&B, strengthen with 1ep: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"Bring it down!"

Entropy Points: 2
EAC/KAC: 17/18

Grimace growls as the Feather stalker catches them in the midriff, using the pain to fuel their inner fire. Much as Aravon they strike out with a quick combination of blows.

Attack vs Kac: 1d20 + 5 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 3 - 4 = 9 for damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Attack vs Kac: 1d20 + 5 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 3 - 4 = 5 for damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Sigh, dicebot strikes again

A laser beam lances from Jenny toward the creature. HFG moves closer, pistol still at the ready.

Ranged laser pistol, azimuth v EAC, get 'em: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8 ... damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4 ( critical Burn 1d4; -)

Can drones benefit from morale bonuses? If not, poor Jenny gets nothing from Get 'Em.

"Are all his matches as thrilling as this?" Vyecmuraf asks the tiefling hype-man, tone flat and unimpressed. "Perhaps he needs some encouragement." A burst of light erupts from a pistol in one hand while another points at the feathered beast.

Laser Pistol, Get 'Em: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 1 = 17
Fire damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Move action to activate Get 'Em, standard to fire.

Good question. Let's see what DG says, although it won't matter on that roll.

Aravon and Vyec both hit the creature once, causing more pain to it.
The drone is considered an ally, and it says the ally must be able to hear according to Get 'EM. It does not say, unless I'm missing something, whether the drone is voice activated, remote control activated or both. In today's real world, which is what I'm comparing Starfinders drones to, there are robots that respond to voice command, and can kind of see, like they have sensors showing where the edge of the table is when you tell it to walk and it stops there, so I'm going to say yes.
The creatures attacks Grimace again, even though he was hit by others, hoping to take you down one by one, it also barely felt each hit, though it is in pain a good bit
hit: 6 + 1d20 ⇒ 6 + (16) = 22 vs KAC dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
All heroes are up

Staggering from the solid blow from the creature, Grimace strikes out again at the beast, seeking to take it down before they were dropped.

Attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 5 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 3 - 4 = 17 for damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 5 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 3 - 4 = 16 for damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

That's what I'm talking about! Nice attack rolls.

Jenny slides to the right and yaws to compensate. The laser blasts again.

Ranged laser pistol, azimuth v EAC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12 ... damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2 ( critical Burn 1d4; -)

Grimace hits the thing twice, Jenny misses, one more hit should do.

"Don't start slacking off," Vyecmuraf orders, either not noticing Grimace's injuries or not caring. "Here, I'll do it myself." Again the laser flashes brightly.

Laser Pistol, GE: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 1 = 20
Fire damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Move action to use Get 'Em, standard to fire.

Aravon looks concerned when the beast once again hits Grimace. He focuses his energy within and directs it at the enemy as he smacks it with his shield again...

Attack vs EAC, get'em, flanking, full attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 9
Damage, A&B: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

and again... yelling

"Leave him alone you overgrown bird!"

Attack vs EAC, get'em, flanking, full attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 - 4 = 12
Damage, A&B: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Vyec shoots it, but it still ain't dead.
Aravon misses
hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Grimace dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 down
All heroes are up 28 dmg on it out of 30.

Idiot. Vyecmuraf points with three hands at the creature. "Do you want that to happen to you next? No? Then take it out quickly."

Laser Pistol, GE: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 1 = 23
Fire damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Rinse and repeat.

Jenny slowly closes the distance, firing the laser again.

Ranged laser pistol, azimuth v EAC get'em: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24 ... damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3 ( critical Burn 1d4; -)

Aravon punches the foe

Attack vs eac: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Finally dead, Make sure you have your emails and other info and I'll get chronicles out to you soon as well as post the conclusion of this.

As the Feather Stalker pierces Grimace's armour the powerful Vesk falls down as Vyec's last shot takes the beast out - the beast bursting into flames as they hit the cold hard flooring of the warehouse floor. A few heartbeats later - Grimace pushes themselves to their feet, hawking up purplish blood and spitting on the burning corpse. Despite their injuries they look fiercely alive - what a fight!

Hobbling away from the beast they pat the Kasatha on the shoulder in thanks.

As you all defeat the feather stalker, a contingent of station security moves into the warehouse to start removing cargo and freeing up the space for the Exo-Guardians. As this occurs, Zigvigix emerges from behind the cordon line to congratulate the PCs on a successful extermination.

CONCLUSION
Once all four faction leaders report to Guidance, the Society
intelligence summons the PCs back to the Lorespire Complex. The
intelligence once again presents itself in a holographic form—this
time taking on the appearance of a wizened male korasha lashunta—
to congratulate the PCs on their successful missions. It goes on to
state that in the aftermath of the Scoured Stars incident, the Society
needs skilled agents more than ever, and that it sees potential in the
PCs as they start their new careers as Starfinder field agents.
So long as the PCs have completed the primary success condition,
each PC receives the Faction’s Friend boon on his Chronicle sheet.
If a PC accepted Guidance’s subdermal implant, he also receives
the Marked Field Agent boon on his Chronicle sheet. Finally, if a PC
purchased a copy of Strawberry Machine Cake’s newest album, he
also receives the Star Sugar Heartlove!!! boon on his Chronicle sheet.
