[RD][SFS] 2-01: Pact World Warriors (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Harasty

Amy continues to carefully climb up the rope until she gets to the top.

Ooze there? she looks at Zoey. Oh ... I get it .. Jelly ... Jelly who .. Jelly - nite Boom Boom!

And I'm gonna be throwing shooting stars at it when I get down there.

She hurtles down the slide, disappointed that the blue stuff wasn't water as she first thought but ...

Wheeeeeeeee ....

She is trying to fit in ... but it still sounds a bit .... awkward.

If the ooze is still attacking:

T| draws a knife and feints before striking at the slime.

Stealth check for trick attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Base damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Trick attack damage, if applicable: 1d4 ⇒ 1

The ooze is there and attacking mindlessly. And seems to follow you.

Tech. head up the wall and makes his way down the chute along with Zoey.

Amy and Rilynn are not far behind.

Tik makes a swing at the slime and easily tricks it and hits it

ETH makes it down the chute takes point across the dance floor with out any incident.

The slime lurches forward and attemps to engulf Tik:
Tik Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
But the ysoki gets out of the way of the oozing mass

Lethea:"Seems like dinner is back and it wants revenge!"
Quell: "But lets see how it ties them up."

Slime! - 4 dmg

Round 5:
Move: Get'em
Standard: Hack'em

Ooze there! Get it! Yaah! Zoey hacks wildly with her newly-bought sword, as much a danger to her companions as she is to the ooze.

Sword: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 1 = 151d6 ⇒ 6

Sister would do much better at this...

Stuck behind the slime, tech draws his rifle and fires on the creature as it attacks T|.

Pulsecaster Rifle 39/40 Charges: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 91d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity, Non-Lethal

Unfortunately he spends more time trying not aim away from T| than he does actually focusing on his target.

Gross! Rilynn projects when she sees the slime monster. What did I sign up for?

She draws her arc pistol and squeezes off a shot at the slime, then jumps down the slide.

Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 18 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Amy fires a round of shooting stars at the slime.

Eat this .... slimeball

ss: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 2) + 3 = 8

If the slime is still mobile after these attacks:

T| slices again at the slime. "Stay still, scum!"

Stealth check for trick attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22
Knife attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

It's a slime, so that might still hit.

Damage, if applicable, including trick attack: 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + (3) = 6

Haha, you guys seem to have it covered!

Eth turns to see the group ganging up on the poor slime, "Just leave it. What did the slime ever do to you." She turns to look at the next obstacle, and unsure of herself she makes the jump. She steps back, so she can get a running jump, and then makes the leap of faith.
Action to back up, then run and jump across.

Athletics: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15

Amy ponders She may have a point. It may have been placed there to slow us down

The party quicky beats down the slime. While ETH starts across the pillars over the floor of lava. Looking forward she sees:

A6. ACCELERATION TRACK

Two moving walkways run along the rocky ground toward a plexiglass tunnel to the northeast. The northern walkway churns past at a much faster speed than the longer section of track slightly to the south.

Moving along the southern (outer) track allows you to move 15 feet for 10 feet of movement.
Moving along the northern (inner) track allows you to move 10 feet for 5 feet of movement.

Lethea: "What ever did that poor slime do to them. It was just happily in its bucket when violently thrown out and pulled down the slide"
Quell: "Though it looks like one of the team knows they are in a race, but can they make the next jump?"

Slime! - Sad Slime is destroyed

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 171d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12

Using the momention form the first jump. she leaps again.

"I made it. I actually made it." She looks surprised at her abilities to jump.

Both move actions to jump across.

Rilynn is a lover, not a fighter, and the dance floor is her wingman. She can't help but be enticed to break into a few moves for the cameras, her body moving in ways that would send chills up the spines of many a humanoid fan.

But this is still a race! She dashes toward the next obstacle and leaps for the nearest pedestal.

Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Having made the long jump, she wipes sweat from her brow and sizes up the two shorter hops that remain. Nothing to it.

Round 6: put away sword, move

Zoey follows the example of ETH, jumping over the blue tile after taking a running jump (Acrobatics, take 10 for 15).

Zoey looks very nervous about the sea of molten lava in front of her, and yells - very unconvincingly cheerful - to ETH C-c-careful that there's no bucket of slime there!.

As the slime is defeated Tech looks ahead, his exocortex focusing on ETH as she leaps across platforms punctuating the lava below.

"Lava!?" He gasps incredulously at one of the cameras.

Shaking his head he follows closely behind Zoey, slinging his rifle behind his back as he leaps over the blue light.

Athletics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Unlike Zoey however he's picked up too much momentum to stop and has no choice but to attempt the next jump or go sliding over the edge.

Aaaaaaaaaa(thletcis): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

He lands cleanly on the platform and erupts into a fit of nervous laughter as he realizes he's still alive and unburnt.

Amy has no idea why the others are jumping over the blue tiles but she follows their lead anyway.
acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
And because she has no experience with dance floors, she just moves in a straight line and catches up to Zoey.

She's not used to all this running and jumping, being used to a lower gravity environment and her legs are starting to ache so she takes a short rest while figuring out how to get across. Besides, most of the pillars she could jump to are already occupied.

So she massages her leg muscles. Lava? she squeaks Seriously?

So she massages her leg muscles. Lava? she squeaks Seriously?

She turns around to her companions, "Don't worry, it is probably fake lava like in those infomercials you showed me in the break out room." She turns to the cameras, and without emotion says, "I am. Onto. You." and points awkwardly into the lens.

T| takes a short running start and jumps after the rest of the team, rolling to his feet and extending a paw to slap the hand of whoever's nearest him.

Taking 10 on Acrobatics for a 22.

As the team scampers though the Disco and The Floor is Lava.

Leatha: "Should we tell the about the Lava Elemental for snarky contestants?"
Quell: "Spoilers! But no. We love our contestants, just like we love Poshkettle Teas. For all your Tea needs in the Pact Worlds. From Akiton Red to the hard to find Besmarian Spice. For your Tea you need a Poshkettle."

Slime! - Sad Slime is destroyed

Tech grunts as he launches himself off of his platform towards the next. He barely make it, arms whirlwinding to keep himself steady.
Athletics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"Ok, one more jump. Just one more."

The older elf bends his knees and takes a second leap, the end of this obstacle within his grasp, but as he launches himself one of his feet slips off the edge throwing off his trajectory.

Athletics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 That doesn't look good.

Rilynn see Tech miss his mark, and she throws out a hand to try to keep her teammate from falling into the stuff that really, looks like lava below.

Tech is falling! she sends telepathically to the team.

Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 6

But he flies beyond her reach, and she cannot grab him without falling in herself. He almost made it - she just needs to get across and then pull him out.

Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 19

She lands on the other side and quickly turns to do what she can for Tech.

Round the next: double move, taking 10 for acrobatics

Techi! Zoey shouts as she sees the Elf fall in. She quickly overcomes her fear of the lava, and jumps over to a stump nearby. (Taking 10 for 15 twice)

Tik! Quick! Do you still have that rope on you?

Amy follows Zoey and takes a leap.

athletics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

... and misses ... she too plummets towards the lava ... or is she

Invoking Blessing of Desna
athletics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

No .. as one of the camera's zoom in, they can see her hanging off the edge of the pillar. As they watch she hauls herself up and onto the top, where she sits for a bit, contemplating her next move, and waiting for Zoey to get off the next one in line.

Only two more leaps ... only two ... oh Desna ... help me. I'm not sure I can do this.

Tik went down the slide, and asked the last one up to grab the rope.

"You guys can do it! Jump!" she says extremely unenthusastically as she moon walks backwards on the roller track, proppellig herself forward through the map.
Two move actions, 10 ft = 15 ft.

With some rickety jumps most of the team makes it though the lava pillars, but Tech. is not so lucky:

Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6) = 14

It is a DC 5 Athletics to climb the 10 feet back up the ledge

Leatha: "See, the lava elemental need their due"
Quell: "That will leave a mark but there is still hope for the team yet!"

ETH rides the tracks around and sees:

A7. THE FINAL STRETCH

The automated tracks end at a transparent tunnel that opens into a large, domed room with a floor of polished wood planks, providing an easy sprint to the checkered finish line.

Round 7 Begin

Rilynn sprints along the inner conveyor and hits the final dash.

This can't be as easy at it seems.

Almost there, team!

Oof you rolled quite well for that damage.
SP 0/10 | HP 12/16

Tech lets out a cry of pain as he hits the lava and immediately begins scrambling up the side to get out.

Athletics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"Thanks for the help guys. I..I think I'll be ok. Rilynn, catch up with ETH, I'll help the others."

Tech stands up, ignoring the pain as his leather boots melt into his feet, and holds his hands out to catch Zoey, Amy or T| as they reach the end of the laval obstacle.

Athletics Aid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

"Don't forget those serums we picked up! They might help you get across." He shouts to his companions.

Round 7:
Move - jump to conveyor belt and hop off
Standard - Aid another

Zoey makes the last jump (Take 10) without much effort. She worriedly looks at Tech, but when she sees he is more worried about Amy and Tik, she moves into position to help any incoming team member

What would you do if I sang out of tune?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

At this point Amy would have sworn she felt the gentle touch of a butterfly wing and a voice saying I am always with you my Star Dancer Maybe it was her imagination or ... something else but whatever it was, it gave her the strength to carry on.

She only has two more hops to reach the conveyor belt.

athletics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
athletics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

and ends up on the outermost one.

I'm hitting the pool after this. Wonder if any of the other girls want to come too. That would be nice.

Rilynn sprints along the inner conveyor and hits the final dash.

This can't be as easy at it seems.

Almost there, team!

Funny you should say that. As you run across the are in red a fist of force attempts to push you back!

Force Punch: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Force Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 5) = 14

Hitting you solidly knocking you back 20 feet down the belt

Hitting you solidly knocking you back 20 feet down the belt

And unconscious.

What would happen to her unconsious body? Would the conveyor belt carry it along to the end?

Eth sees the impact and Rilynn flying backwards, the lashunta instead moves forward taking out a healing serum and getting ready to stab Rilynn when she inevitably comes her way. "She is fine. I got her." She tells the rest of her allies.

Assuming this goes to plan.

Round 6/7: The ysoki scrambles after the rest of the party, taking a running start to reach the first pillar, then two more shorter jumps to get to the other side, hopping up onto the faster conveyor belt, over it, and onto the slower one. "I could use a cuppa tea about now!"

Taking 10 on Athletics for a 16--that'll get me the 10' jump with a running start, then two 5' jumps without one.

Leath: "Well that can slow things down a bit. Way to take it on the Chin. But will it happen again?"
Quell: "We don't kick our contestants when they are down. But the standing ones are still fair game"

It looks like Rilynn's body will move about 30 feet on its own on the belt.

Moved already

"Rilynn!" Tech shouts as the lashunta's unconscious body slides is carried forward on the conveyor belt. Having had his own share of misery, Tech eye's the belts suspiciously and walks between them hoping to avoid whatever it was the blasted his companion.
Double Move on the floor so no extra movement

T| advances cautiously on the slower conveyor belt, ready to dodge any attacks. "Tech, is she all right? I have a medkit if she needs it."

Move plus Total Defense; +4 AC.

Zoey sprints after Tech on the outer track Double move

Amy double moves as well on the outer track, but as she passes the point where Rilynn got zapped, she leaps from track to track

acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

It almost looks like she was attempting to fly

Can i move up and use the healing serum on Rilynn this round? If so...

Eth moves up and administers the healing. 1d8 ⇒ 6

Leatha: "Well it looks like it all for one and one for all with Team Knockout"
Quell: "It seems that Starfinders are not the selfish opportunists we have been told! But will this commendatory cost them the race? Will they make to the finish line in time?"

The force trap does not go off again and everyone is away along the tracks.

Round 9 Begin

Rilynn -- Awake

Tech. -- 14 SP dmg
E-T-H --
Amy --

Amy uses Mystic Healing Touch to give Rilynn another 5 points of healing as the belt moves them to the end.

"Glad to see you're up Rilynn."

Seeing Amy and ETH heal the woman, Tech uses the healing serum on himself instead and sighing in relief as the lava burns on his feet stop stinging,

Healing Serum Mk1: 1d8 ⇒ 6

SP: 0 | HP:16

He moves forward, still between the tracks, and peers into the next room to see what awaits them.

Welcome back Rilynn! Zoey shouts as she keeps running on the conveyor belt and towards the dome ahead. She ends up just before the dome, and peers in.

Double move

"Yes, welcome back to the land of the living. Then again, what even is death but the everlasting darkness from which he may witness you..." she says, emotionless as always, turns and then proceeds to move in the direction of the finish.

"Be right there!" T| takes the outer conveyor belt to its end, then follows Zoey to the dome.

Double move.

Rilynn rubs her bruised ego and rights herself, finishing her way down the bludgeoning murder stair.

"I'll be alright. Thanks for the pick-me-up, team! I owe you big, but I expect that won't be the last time this game gets the better of me."

2x Move

Amy looks a little sheepish Aw - as far as I'm concerned, you don't owe me anything - just being there to help is good enough for me. As long as we stay friends after this.

As the team races though the final tunnel to the finish line Tech. yells "Watch out! laser"

Just as a laser shoots out at Zoey, but she was given just enough warning to dodge a bit.

Laser Trap: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 4 = 10

Which seemed to do the trick as she is unharmed. Seems like that is the only laser and the rest of the way is clear.

With that being the last hazard and with more than enough time left on the clock....

Dodging though the laser tunnel Team Knock makes it to the finish line together with a good deal of time on the clock.

A dozen hovering camera drones buzz past, capturing the action from as many angles as possible. “Our first contestant crosses the finish line!” Lethea’s technologically magnified voice booms through the air. A sardonic chuckle filters through the speakers as Quell adds, “The living never cease to amaze me. Do you think the others have what it takes, Lethea?”

Not missing a beat, Lethea responds, “Stay tuned to Pact World Warriors to find out! We’ll be right back after these messages from our sponsors.”

Current Score:
* Team Knockout: 100
* Team Moxie: 40

With the results in, you are given 30 minutes to rest and recover before the next challenge

Amy relaxes while floating in a bath full of water to allow her body to recover after being exerted in gravity.

A cup of tea would be nice she says. Is there any potkettle?
