GM Blazej - Pact World Warriors Gameday IX (Inactive)

Game Master Zynete

The android moves as well like the first round.

I placed me under Flex who is supposed to move before me.

Seeing all of their combat-skilled teammates moving full speed down the hall, Shoma reaches out telepathically to Mec-01 - "one of you will cover the common room, right?"

When I open the channel to you with Telepathic Message, you can reply silently too - it's a two-way channel - but messages are limited to 10 words per round.

Shoma climbs 5 feet along the doorframe and railing to crouch just inside the engine room, and readies their laser pistol to fire in case they see anyone enter.

Move action to enter the room, standard to ready an attack.

Mahari is dumbfounded when Misty Kit bellows out a war-cry. She nods and smiles to the Kiirinta, impressed by their motivational ability.

With most of the team out the door, she takes up a position with a clear line of sight into the hatch and readies to shoot any opponent that comes into sight.

Readied action, fire at any opponent that comes into sight.

@Shoma Steel, apologies for the confusion but that area is not the engine room. That door is an exterior door that goes outside of the ship. That door didn't open unlike the other interior doors on the ship. If you wish to open that, let me know, but I've otherwise labeled the engine room on the map.

Round 2 of 20

Enemy 3

I think I would have checked the door at least - it's still a concern as an access point. Do I see any control to seal it from the inside, or can I find a way to jerry-rig it to seal it shut? If so, I do that, and then turn to face the doorway leading into the ship. If I can't see a way to seal it, I move through it as planned.

To survey the situation:
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
To figure out the door:
Pilot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Engineering: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

While there doesn't seem to be a way to close any of the doors, Shoma is able to take a moment to adjust the door sensors to force it remain closed. Shoma feels fairly confident that the portal is sealed shut and would take some significant effort to open up.

Flexnaught projects the tactical situation as a reply to the telepathic message spell"Two bounding around the north hall, one headed for the bridge via jump jets or something similar."
He then jest forward while drawing a tactical baton in his other hand. He slows himself so that he glides silently acroos the hall and comes to a stop behind the captains chair ready to play wack-a-mole with the first person to try to take the flag before him. Person from the other team of course...
stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
FlexNaught is able to make it to the bridge, but the speed requires to traverse such a distance at full speed makes him more visible to his opponents.

The first to come out of the opposing passageway is Verity-5 who takes note of both flag and FlexNaught. They use their jump jets to get to the entry to the bridge debating for a moment on what action to take. "I understand that, like me, you are resistant to this, but for the requirements of my success I need to request you FLEE." The final word resonates with psychic power attempting to drive out all other thought from FlexNaught's processes.

FlexNaught needs to make a DC 13 Will save (mind-affecting). If he fails, this turn must be spent retreating from Verity-5 as quickly as possible with no other actions taken.

There is further noise from the hallway and coming through the engine room as the rest of the rival team closes in.

Everyone is up. Misty Kit can also take their round 2 action.

The kasatha continues to move at half speed. Then he stayed covered by the wall, ready to act next.

will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Dang, i sure feel silly about using my reroll to make dinner now.
Double move away.
"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Verity-5 seems surprised that their gambit worked as they continue to move toward the flag.

Meanwhile, as FlexNaught retreats into the engine room he finds himself not alone. As he looks around he sees Tillik is lying in wait, crouched kneeling near the door frame. Tillik holds a garrote firm his hands as he gives a grin and gives a silent request for silence as he readies an attack against FlexNaught.

Flexnaughts mind races as he thinks, "BWWWWWAAAAAAHHHOMGOMGOMGOMGTHERESAGUYWHOSGOINGTOCHOKEMEOUTOMGOMGOMGOMBWAAA AAH"

The android sees Flex coming back as he had seen an robotic ghost. So he takes a step back to look where he hurry up like this and discover Tillik at this occasion. It means a first shot with the weapon "imitating his own but that doesn't kill".

Laser rifle, azimuth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Let's see how it works.

Shoma hears a "BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" and groans. "That sounds like an all-hands-on-deck problem..."

As they start to move down the hall, they reach out to Nelek - You're fast, right? So you've got the flag? but for real - it's only athletics dc 20 to move full speed, and with Flex down you're our only hope! Why not at least roll for it?

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 Shoma tries to hustle along the wall to get to the battle faster, and isn't quite coordinated enough to go faster - just scramble in the process.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 So they keep going, giving it their all, still to little avail - but its enough to get behind Mec and have a clean shot next turn!

Two move actions, 15ft each.

Action 1

"Sounds like they need help." Misty Kit 'thinks' tiredly. "I'm going to go out and support them."

Misty Kit flies out and moves behind the group.

+10 movement speed for 2 rounds, sent to flight.
3/5 Biohacks remaining.

--

Action 2

After seeing Flex run by, Misty Kit 'thinks' "I'll head for the flag, someone look out for Flex."

Misty Kit double moves up to the bridge.

+10 movement speed for 1 rounds, sent to flight.
3/5 Biohacks remaining.

Verity-5 calls out to their allies, "I have secured the flag and there are a few more inbound. I-

You can hear Rafelo interject with a cheer, "excellent! Hold them off and I'll grab the flag! Keep the cameras on me our dear hosts, you shall see my talents on full display!"

Giving the command a minor though Verity-5 obeys as they launch another command at Misty. "I think you should aid your ally. Please FLEE."

Another command is given to try to force Misty to retreat from Verity-5. Misty Kit must make a DC 13 Will save (mind affecting) or spend their next turn fleeing from Verity-5

Shovyzam is the next down the hallway and glancing at the assembled Starfinders she scoffs particularly at Nelek's weapon. "You got some Pact World model version of a Veskarium weapon? Let me demonstrate some real Vesk made tech." She takes s shot at the soldier, but doesn't connect.

Shonvyzam's Decoupler vs Telek EAC with Cover: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Acid Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Miss

Tillik takes the laser ray straight to his chest. The merciful enchantment lessens the lethal strike, but takes the wind out him. "Oh Mec-01, this was a private engagement. Don't you know three make a crowd? I'll leave you two together and find a more ... private moment." He tries to offer a smirk as he falls back, running along the walls with a set of magnetic boots letting him walk with ease across the length. He draws his pistol on his way away taking a shot at FlexNaught for a minor bit of damage.

Tillik's Hail Pistol vs FlexNaught's KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Cold & Piercing Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

This movement provokes from FlexNaught if he had a melee weapon drawn.

Everyone is up!

Flexnaught flails with the tactical baton he has in one hand.
attack of op KAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
NL Bludgeoning: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

critical damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH GET AWAY FROM ME YOU MOOK!"

If that doesn't put him down flexnaught will attempt to trick attack
trick: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
attack EAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
NL sonic damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
trick attack damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Otherwise I move to the doorway and ready to hit the first member of the other team i see with the sonic pistol attack. I know it won't be a trick attack and thats fine.

"Oh, and fear is a tantalizing and intense emotion," comments Quell over the comms. "An intensity so hot that will burn you if you are not careful!"

FlexNaught delivers a knock out blow with the sonic weapon leaving Tillik hanging on the wall. "And it looks like Tillik just got roasted!"

Tillik is knocked out.

Will Save: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

*Sigh* you would ask for my worst save. And as much as I would love to cheese it with some racial powers, they're really just cheesing the system.

Misty Kit flies quickly away, coming to a rest in the engine bay.

As Misty Kit stops, you can almost hear grumbles.

Speeds boost ends after the round.
3/5 Biohacks remaining.

I've made a quick correction I missed on the map, repositioned Verity-5 to be closer the other entryway following their spell.

The kasatha throws his grenade at the base of the door.

Grenade, DC 5: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Shock Grenade, Mk 1:1d8 ⇒ 1

Then he steps back.

Acrobatics:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

The android moves quickly in the corridor to be able to fire towards the opposite crew in the same round.

Laser rifle, azimuth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Shoma sees Misty fly back by and groans too. "Alright, I'll get the flank!" They try to hustle through the doorway and across the engine room wall, but get tangled up in their zero-g suit, and spend a long moment untangling themselves. In the process, they wind up holding their new tac pistol, with the laser pistol jammed in the tac pistol's sheath. They shrug, and mutter "alright, let's get em, slugger..."

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 As they ready themselves, do they hear anything out of the ordinary or see anything useful?

One move action forward along the wall at half speed, second move action to draw tac pistol and sheathe laser pistol.

I'll hold a few more hours, but then I'll bot one of Mahari's actions. My default action for her would be to following the standing instructions to ready. Is that fine Shoma or is there another action she should take?

I'm fine with banking an turn of actions, but I'm a bit more wary of extending that further.

Long flying days and exhausted sleeps between. Sorry.

Mahari continues to maintain watchfulness through the doorway. She doesn't trust the Moxies, and she knows she'd use some kind of deception or trickery, so that's what she stays prepared for.

Besides, she hates 0-g. Chalk it up to that one time grav went out on the ship she grew up on. Right after breakfast. On her birthday. Yeah, 0-g sucks.

Maintaining readied attack

Mahari: Absolutely no problem at all. I completely understand.

Mec-01: Which of the opponents are you shooting at? Verity-5 (at the flag), Shonvyzam (at the center of the hallway), or Rafelo (was at back of hallway)

Nelek's explosive connects with the three members of the other team, but does little to stop them as the arcing energy was minimal.

Verity-5 looks back at their hallway and declares to the others, "It seems as though Tillik has run into some trouble. I'll leave you to deal with the flag while I tend to aid." They fire off a shot with a pulsecaster pistol at Mec-01 before using their jet pack to withdraw into the main hallway.
Verity-5 Pulsecaster Pistol at Mec-01's EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Electricity Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Shonvyzam scoffs, "Then head out, we dont' need you over here. Their weapons couldn't harm an egg even without the enchantments." She takes a moment to wipe away at some of the electric scarring left on her armor as she laughs again. She takes another shot with her decoupler, this time even less successful than the last as her weapon fire goes into a wall.
Shonvyzam's Decoupler vs Mec-01 EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Acid Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Rafelo waves to the cameras before slamming into the ship walls. He takes a moment to right himself telling Verity-5, "That is fine! Clear the way for my procession!" He throws himself against the captain's chair and manages to hold himself into the seat as it spins around with his momentum before coming to a halt. "As you can see my wonderful audience, even after minutes in a hostile environment I can not only acclimate, but I will persevere!"
Crash into Wall: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Crash into Chair: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 He manages to avoid the off-kilter condition

I thought to shot towards the yellow one.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Shoma's finally getting their space-legs back, now that the suit's all untangled. They hustle along the engine room wall and out into the hallway between the enemies and their flag, and seeing Verity-5 coming back, they line up the tac pistol - and reach out psychically just before they fire - "Get out of my team's heads. You versus me, buddy."

Bang.

Attack vs KAC, -4 for cover: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 2 - 4 = 17
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

One move action forward along the wall at full speed, standard action to pop a cap in yo android.

Flexnaught jets down the hall, and readies to blast the first enemy to turn the corner.
readied attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
NL Sonic: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Misty Kit quickly pops another Biohack, and moves to join the rest of the party.

+ 10ft Speed boost for four rounds.
2/5 Biohacks remaining.

The kasatha moves forward and strikes his opponent.

Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Damage:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Applied Mec-01's damage from previous round to Shonvyzam

The weapon fire from the party connects hard as Shoma's shot strikes Verity-5 and Nelek is able to land another shot against the injured Shonvyzam.

Round 5 of 20
Rafelo [Blue] (1 damage)
Tillik [Green] (0 hp)
FlexNaught (2 damage, readied)
Shoma Steel
Nelek
Misty Kit
Mec-01
Verity-5 [White] (7 damage)
Mahari Jones (readied)
Shonvyzam [Yellow] (11 damage)

Mec-01 and Mahari are still up for the round.

The android doesn't move and uses his technology to target the yellow one.

Laser rifle, azimuth:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Damage:1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Verity-5 staggers for a moment, doing their best to hold against the wall as they look to their own bruise and the damage Shonvyzam is dealing. "I will do what is needed for the success of my team." They take a moment to close their eyes and release a burst of regenerative power restoring Shonvyzam, Rafelo, and themselves of much of the damage dealt out.
Healing Channel: 2d8 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

Shonvyzam welcomes the healing as a second wind, taking only a moment to right themselves again after crashing into a wall. "Fine! You want to fight! I'll give you one! Your weapons are nothing but jokes!" She takes a swing with a cestus at Nelek, connecting with a blow that that drains the soldier of nearly all of their stamina.
Athletics to stop on wall: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Shonvyzam's Cestus Battleglove vs Nelek KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Less concerned about the battle behind him and more looking toward the cameras, Rafelo snatches the flag and holds it aloft for a long moment as he cheers. "Make sure to take this moment in! I'm certain there will be a few commissions of an depiction of this very moment for the many galleries."

He pushes off the chair back down the preceding hallway only to take a sonic shot from FlexNaught which dampens his cries of success a bit.

Round 6 of 20
Rafelo [Blue] (3 damage, has Bridge Flag)
FlexNaught (2 damage, Initiative changed because of ready)
Tillik [Green] (0 hp)
Shoma Steel
Nelek (6 damage)
Misty Kit
Mec-01
Verity-5 [White] (0 damage)
Mahari Jones (readied)
Shonvyzam [Yellow] (8 damage)

FlexNaught's readied action went off. Everyone else can take their action for this round.

"Alright, I tried. No more Dr. Nice Shoma."

Shoma climbs along the wall towards the battle, taking it slow as they simmer in anger about Verity and Rafaelo foiling our plans.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

As they watch Rafaelo's gloating, their anger starts to boil over. Shoma considers making him flee, like Verity did to our teammates. Or just making him drop the flag and stand there like a loser. But this is a battle now, not a game. And Shoma wants to send a message...

...an overwhelming message.

Rafaelo's mind is filled with images of a decimated battleship, the crew mostly dead, the few left alive bashing their heads against the walls, screaming in agony - as one ship medic with glowing eyes stares out the starboard window at an incalculably massive and ancient being of dark energy. As Shoma wonders why they alone can survive this Thing's presence, why its presence seems to be awakening psychic energies inside them instead of killing them, Shoma looks into Rafaelo's mind's eye and passes it along to him. Can he handle it? Or will it overwhelm his fragile psyche, like it did the rest of Shoma's old crew?

He should probably try to make a DC14 Will save for half damage.

Mind Thrust: 2d10 ⇒ (7, 8) = 15

Move action to climb 10 feet forward along the wall, standard action to offload some trauma. Cathartic!

Rafelo's smile vanishes and is replaced with a dull expression as his antennae as he stops breathing...

Rafelo Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

But takes a huge gasp of air as he shakes his head trying to throw off the devastating images.

He's more resilient than I expected, Shoma thinks to themself. But that probably hurt more than I could've done with a pistol anyway.

How does that lethal damage add up with the nonlethal we're doing? Does it just add in, and as long as he's taken to 0 by nonlethal he's knocked out?

Lethal and nonlethal damage are treated as damage once dealt. They aren't tracked separately. If he is taken to 0 or less by nonlethal, he is knocked out. If he was taken to 0 or less by lethal damage, then they are killed (there are can be exceptions, but this is the general case).

Without a word, the android fires once again towards the yellow one.

Laser rifle, azimuth:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The kasatha doesn't like to be striked. But he likes to strike himself.

Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Both attacks land, Shonvyzam nearly avoids the finishing blow from Nelek, but ultimately is knocked out by the merciful gauntlet.

"And it looks like Shonvyzam goes down under after a heavy barrage of blows from the Starfinders." Lethea calls out over the comms. "It may be Verity-5's healing abilities can't outpace the Starfinders deal."

"I'm going to flank"

Misty Kit turns around and starts flying the other way.

+ 10ft Speed boost for three rounds.
2/5 Biohacks remaining.

Verity-5 does look to their allies with some concern. "I will grant you more strength, but you may need to bypass them Rafelo. Else, Mia, we may need your aid." He channels more healing power rejuvenating the others in the halls, but the android is clearly showing exhaustion as they expend their resolve to keep their allies in the fight.

Healing Channel: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 7) = 12 Healing Rafelo, Verity-5, and Shonvyzam

The healing restores Shonvyzam as she takes a few moments to recover her senses. "Don't think you got anything on me. Even two on one you need lucky hits to make due with you antiquated tech!" She spends her turn reorienting herself and trying to avoid another knock out blow as she find a chance to counter.
Shovyzam spends turn removing off kilter and using Full Defense

With Verity-5's healing Rafelo quickly recovers from the images lingering at the edges of his mind. His momentum carries himself into a corner where he latches on and takes cover.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
"I must have gotten light-headed. Something raked across my mind." After another moment he exclaims as he attempts to reclaim a boisterous tone, "No worries though! I have not given up before when carving paths through the deserts of Castrovel and I will not do so now my beautiful audience! FlexNaught, you have fought well, but your efforts will have been for naught." He tries to push himself to land a blow against the agile FlexNaught, but the laser is deflected by the protective armor.
