GM Blazej - Pact World Warriors Gameday IX (Inactive)

Game Master Zynete

The kasatha uses two other hands to fire his rifle.

Rotolaser, Tactical: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Then he moves on to make the line of sight to the android.

The android uses his combat tracking to anticipate the movement of his target. In this case the target is green. Suddenly he fires.

Laser rifle, azimuth:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Damage:1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

I'll assume FlexNaught and Nelek are targeting green.

Prime Time!!!: 1d6 ⇒ 1 It seems this skeleton is also packed with explosives

There is a incredible volley of fire on the lead skeleton as arcs of electricity, lasers, and bullets tear into it. The weapon fire ignites explosives within the undead and it explodes into an uncountable number of fragments into the other undead.

Skeleton Explosion, Fire Damage to red and yellow: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1) = 10

Red Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Yellow Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The one wearing a bright yellow "Pact World Warriors" shirt is nearly destroyed by the explosion while the other moves out of the explosion as it rushes toward the party.

Shoma takes a moment to celebrate, then remembers there's still more fun to be had. "Alright, who looks ready to go to their final resting place..." They line up a shot at Yellow and pop

Laser Pistol: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Fire Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Center of mass! It may not be on fire, but it may very well be dead. Well, it already was. But permanently this time.

PRIME TIME: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Shoma's laser cuts through the heavily burnt skeleton and watches it break apart as several streaks of light erupt from the skeletal body and explode in the sky in a series to colorful fireworks.

"And it looks like there is a sudden surprising light show! It looks as though the Starfinders have found the special bonus target scoring double points for the kill!"

"But will they last to the end to enjoy these points?" Quell cackles as his platform is lit by the bright explosions.

The remaining two undead press forward with rifles in hand and take shots and Nelek and Mahari. Only one of the shots land on Nelek, digging deep into his armor.

Red, Rifle Attack vs Nelek KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Piercing Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Blue, Rifle Attack vs Mahari KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Everyone is up

The android changes his target as the previous one doesn’t exist anymore. So he uses his combat tracking to select the red one.

Laser azimuth rifle: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Misty Kit flies to be a little more central to the group and fires a biohack at Nelek.

+1 to AC for 4 rounds
3+1/8 Darts in pistol (+1 is Healing Serum)
2/5 Biohacks remaining

Flexnaught tries another deception before firing at the red skeleton.
"Awe man they won't even chase us.Where's the fun in that."
trick attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
attack KAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
trick damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

crit damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Mahari adjusts her position to be closer to Shoma and Misty Kit and then fires at the one with the Blue-Sky logo on its tac-vest.

Trick, Bluff (Spy): 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 4 = 36
Trick damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Static Arc Pistol: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage, E: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Swing and a miss!

Prime Time: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Mec-01's shot just barely is able to pierce the skeleton's frame, but it does so with devastating effect. FlexNaught's shot hits right in the weak point in the skeleton and the skeleton explodes into a hundred pieces. Cameras catching every moment of the shot.

Red is destroyed

Mahari's attack misses, but only by a small margin against the unprotected skeleton. The timer ticks down for the final moments of the fight.

Round 5 of 5: Final Round
Mahari Jones (5 damage)
Shoma Steel
Nelek (7 damage; +1 AC)
Misty Kit

. Red (15 damage)
. Blue
FlexNaught (8 damage; +1 AC)
Mec-01

Edited previous post: FlexNaught and Mec-01 can perform their final action in addition to Shoma and Nelek. I'll fit in the remaining skeleton's action if it survives Shoma and Nelek's attacks.

Quell is at the edge of his podium as he relates with excitement, "the timer ticks down with only seconds left on the clock! Is this the end of the catastrophic cavalcade of chaos and carnage?"

Shoma's exhilarated watching their team blast these things to smithereens, and feeling useful after two kills. "Alright, how about a three-peat?" They take aim at Blue -

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

- and blast the hell out of the rock structure to the left of it.

Returning to their usual meekness, and returning to the starting area, they mutter "can't win em all..."

The kasatha fires again, hoping they kill this one as well.

Rotolaser, Tactical:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Damage:1d8 ⇒ 2

The android activates his combat tracking on the remaining skeleton and fires.

Laser rifle, azimuth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

"It must be nice having bones. All i have is a titianium reinfored polyduranide support frame. Which seems to resist damage less well than magic bones. Guess I better not take my shot, whole thing seems pointless..."
trick attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
KAC attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
trick damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8
"Just kidding, points are the point, and we want them ALL."

"Thats right, I'll mildly annoy you until you destroy yourself!"

Shoma and Nelek's shots are close, but only sear and scar the edges of the skeleton. However Mec-01 joins with the others and scores yet another devastating critical hit that rips through the chest of the skeleton.

Mec-01 Crit Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

FlexNaught is able to land a followup attack, but is unable land the attack where he wanted and the undead resists the blow.

Force fields are conjured around the party as undead continue surge forward. The undead Mec-01 lit up still burns up in the atmosphere and burns away in a small display of pyrotechnics as you are all recovered.

Burn: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Prime Time: 1d6 ⇒ 5

After another minute Lethea reports, "And after tallying up the kills we have the results. The Starfinders, with 8 kills and one lucky bonus earn 90 points. The Moxies, with 4 kills, earn 40 points. Starfinders take another round!"

With a fanfare you are brought back in the halls below the complex.

Your rivals have far less confidence than at the start overall, but have not lost any of ther enthusiasm. A few team members of arguing over over their tactics and failures, Mia being vocal on the failures of others and Rafelo's combat tactics especially.

They hush as you pass by, Mia refuses to look at your group, eyes dead ahead. Shonvyzam makes herself busy with some modifications to her rig. Verity-5 gives a courteous nod. Tillik is eyeing the group, looking for some loose item to steal and show off more of his skill and style. Rafelo takes the moment to whisper something to Tillik and, in response, the pahtra nods and gives a silent smirk to the Starfinders.

As you return to your rest area you find a new addition, this time a large flag with the emblem of the Starfinder Society. "This will be your flag for the next event of capture the flag. The full rules will be given in a bit. Check the emblem for accuracy and practice grabbing and wielding it for the following event."

As the assistant and the rest of the production staff head of you are once again left alone for another half an hour to relax and rest.

You call can make either a Perception or a Sense Motive check.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

What can we expect for the event? Who would like to think to try to capture this flag?

Perception:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

The kasatha is glad to have a rest before the next one.

I think I need to spend a resolve point.

As she passes the Moxies, Mahari sashays up to the handsome lashunta and in her best bedroom voice whispers a proposition to him. She makes an obvious play of watching Mia's reaction while she does. But the catty performance is just a ruse. With everyone watching her face, she attempts to do what Tillik had also been attempting, and palms a piece of Rafelo's gear.

Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

In the room, she hefts the flag and gives it a twirl to get a feel for it as she looks it over.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

How big is this "large" flag? Are there mechanical effects or issues related to its largeness?

The staff member relates to Mec-01 that you will be taken to a special stage where you will be competing against your rival team to capture their flag, a neutral flag, and protect your own.

The flag is pretty about five feet tall and made of rather dense metal, both the pole and the flag itself. The flag is 3 bulk.

Characters have time to spend resolve in addition to other preparations.

Rafelo's confidence is seemingly not damaged at all as he responds to Mahari, "I appreciate the attention as you take advantage of your moment of the spotlight, but I will still hold out for a finer catch. A night with either, or both, of our hosts is far more tantalizing."
Mia refuses to acknowledge Mahari as the others drag Rafelo away as he opines more on Quell and Lethea.
Rafelo Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
While removing Rafelo's comm system from his armor isn't viable, Mahari is able to quickly match her comms with his current encryption code and connect to their comm channels, at least for the moment.
I'm fine with you using the sleight of hand as an opportunity to spy on their plans.

Mec-01 had caught sight of Shonvyzam's drone as it left your room and crawled away with haste into facilities halls. With his previous experience during the cooking extravaganza, he is able to quickly spot a bit of sabotage. There is a magnetic beacon attached to your provided flag similar to the that of Shonvyzam's equipment.

Destroying the beacon isn't viable without destroying the flag itself, but you can attempt to disable the beacon with Computers or Engineering

The android disables the beacon.

Engineering: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Mec-01 is able to disable the functionality of the beacon. It will no longer have any effect.

===

There is a cent be of conversation over the comms from the other team.

"We are too far behind on points, to win outright," offers Rafelo in attempt to lead the group. "But we can least demonstrate show that we can win in a head to head. All other things equal, we grab the unclaimed flag, claim it, and take a win. Maybe land a few shots on them to widen the win more."

Mia Moxie's responds is loud and viscous overwhelming the others on the comm. "And where in your plan did you not get it through your thick skull that I'm not leaving our flag alone! As soon as we walk out of our base Mahari or android is going to run in, take my flag, and then lord it over us!"

Verity-5's focuses on on clarifying the statement with a calm, "Android? Are you referring to Mec-01 or FlexNaught?"

"I don't care!" Mia responds, exhausted by the question. "Point is that they will come here to take what is mine, and I'll mow them down!"

There is a pause as Verity-5 responds, "your reaction is based on tactics we can't be certain of, I do concur with Rafelo we should seek out the highest value objective."

Shonvyzam offers her own thoughts. "I'll head with the rest of you to take that flag. Maybe catch them as they try to take it. We don't know what they will do, but I've got plenty of perfect bits of engineering in play here to answer them. If they manage to get to our base, I'll come back and help crush them. I don't like this, barely winning plan. With their showboating I want to make sure this is what shows up on the highlight reels."

Rafelos does admit, "I would certainly prefer more highlights that don't involve me falling into quicksand."

The conversation does continue but goes around covering the same general plan outlined above.

Shortly before the event production has you change your comm channels to hose belonging to Zo!'s production team. The Moxies' seem to do it as their own comms cut out.

After another lengthy elevator ride you travel through an aluminum tunnel to an airlock door and emerge on a destroyer-class starship within one of the floors in Zo!'s studio megacomplex.

"Our final challenge simulates boarding action on a craft travelign through hostile space!" Quells voice reverberates through the cargo hold through your comms. "With weapons set to stun, our intrepid teams fight for control over the ship."

Lethea takes over the explanation repeating the scoring for the match. A team scores 30 points for capturing the enemy flag, 40 points for capturing the unclaimed flag and 10 points for taking out an enemy. When the doors open, the battle begins. Good luck warriors!"

You have three rounds to prepare, position, or anything else you wish. Your flag is with you, you can do what you want with it, keeping in mind the restrictions in discussion.

I would highly recommend you post what you plan to do in the challenge either here or in discussion as appropriate in case there are multiple plans people want to execute.

The timer begins to tick down toward start time, the party has 18 seconds to prepare. The doors remain sealed for the moment and there is plenty of room within the crate filled chamber to maneuver to the door.

[bigger]Prep Rounds 1 through 3[/ooc]
Everyone

Check the map, you are on the southern cargo bay. Perform whatever actions you need to prepare within the cargo bay. You can't leave the room during these rounds. Place yourselves and flag as appropriate.

"This lasts an hour, so it should be more effective now."

Misty Kit injects FlexNaught with on of their biohacks. After a moment, FlexNaught will notice his hearing sharply increasing.

Giving you Blindsense(sound) for an hour.
4/5 Biohacks Remaining

Shoma takes a moment to glaze over and mutter in the corner, and comes back ready to telepathicly message with everybody. Just in case we wind up needing quiet comms.

Beyond that, all I can do is lock, load, and join the preparation huddle on the Discussion page.

Listening to the others the android has a look around in the room.

Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Is there something to find out?

The kasatha helps to search in the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Looking around the room Mec-01 and Nelek discover one of the crates is secured with a lock.

Engineering:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Engineering:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Felxnaught takes 10 for a 20 engineering.
"Is its snakes made out of springs? I bet its spring snakes. So may guns so little time. I like this one, it's completely sonic."

Oh, the doshko could be of some use for me.

Engineering: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Shoma looks on flabbergasted as Flex pops open the loot crate. "Can you show me which part is the spring snakes?" they ask telepathically, completely serious and too embarrassed that they don't know what it is to ask out loud.

Out loud, they add "I'd love whichever pistol nobody else is using - Misty, do you want something with some more oomph for when you're not using biohacks?" If somebody has a spare tac pistol to loan me, I won't have telekinetic projectile this encounter and would love a little more firepower at close range

Sorry, I've only rifles. I don't use pistols. But I think we found one, no?

When FlexNaught opens the case, Mahari peeks around Shoma's shoulder. "Nothing there I need," she tells them as she draws and checks her arc pistol. "I'm sticking with this, even if it did shock the {bleep} out of me last time."

She takes up her position at the doorway, ready to fire at any of the Moxies she sees.

After the time for preparation ends an alarm sounds as the interior doors of the ship open up. You hear echos of motion and yelling throughout the ship as the contest is on!

Mahari Jones (Init 8)

Everyone acts
You are in an area of zero-gravity. If you are moving at the end of your turn, make it on your post declaring which direction you are heading. (North, East, South, West)

Looks like shoma can take the pistol from the crate. Do doors need to be opened or are they automatic?
With a quick burst from his jump jets Felxnaught glides quietly out into the hallway with the sonic pistol in hand.
sealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Assuming i dont have to open doors I move then use stealth during the second move using quick bursts from the jump jets to control my momentum.

All doors are open. No action needs to be taken to open them.

The android moves at half-speed helping himself with the walls to stay right.

The kasatha follows on the same way and manner. To stay up and well balanced.

Prep Round 3:

"Alright, I'll help myself! Shoma grabs the tac pistol from the loot crate and puts it on their belt. Laser pistol is in hand for the start of the challenge.

Let the Games Begin

Shoma pushes towards the doorway out of the back room, floats 15 feet and reaches for the doorframe -
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
They catch the door gracefully! Now it's an easy climb along the wall the rest of the way until they're posted up in the doorway into the engine room.

Two move actions, 15 feet each. Do we not need to roll to move half speed as long as we remain attached along a continuous surface?

Prep Round 3

Misty quickly grabs the sonic pistol from the crate, and injects themselves with a booster.

+10 movement speed for 4 rounds, sent to flight.
3/5 Biohacks remaining.

First Round

When the bell alarm sounds Misty Kit does something that they have not done in the entire time you have known them....

Misty Kit speaks out-loud.

"Let's go Starfinders!"

You would swear that a sound that you would almost swear shakes the room. Everyone almost seems propelled out the doors as they open. The shout however, seems to have left Misty Kit woozy and tired.

Misty Kit moves to cover the doorway with Mahari.

A little re-flavoring to the feat Startled Scream. Since there was no surprise round this combat, the entire party, other than Misty Kit themselves, gets a +1 to initiative, and Misty Kit is shaken by the effort for one round.

@Misty Kit, I have adjusted the party initiative up +1

Two move actions, 15 feet each. Do we not need to roll to move half speed as long as we remain attached along a continuous surface?

So there are two main reasons for making an Athletics or Acrobatics in zero-g here. To avoid the off-kilter condition when crashing into a wall or if you try to move your full speed for an action by climbing along the walls.

Reasonably, for ease of play, if you are just moving half speed, you can do that without a skill check.

FlexNaught sees the flag right by the captain's chair, but his auditory sensors are picking up far more. He hears multiple people kicking off walls and slamming into metal, but the fastest among them flies past the shared entrance into the engine room. FlexNaught can tell from the noise that the one of the other team also has jump jets.

I have marked spaces with blue squares where FlexNaught can locate enemies with his blindsense

Round 2 of 20
Enemy 1
FlexNaught (Init 21)
Shoma Steel (Init 17)
Nelek (Init 16)
Misty Kit (Init 13)
Mec-01 (Init 11)
Enemy 2 with Jump Jets
Mahari Jones (Init 9)
Enemy 3

Everyone is up. I assume Mahari held up in the cargo hold as previously indicated, otherwise she can also take her prior turn.

If I bold an enemy for a turn, it means they take their turn in the middle of your group and that they haven't taken their turn yet. I'll take their turn as I'm able.

The kasatha moves as quick as possible near the position he should reach.

2x half movement.
