GM Tealk's - Starfinder - #1-06 A Night in Nightarch (Inactive)

Game Master Tealk

Discussion Thread. Please check in here and leave your SFS Details. This will be a low tier game. You can make your introductions and make your first post in the gameplay thread when you are ready!

Hello all! Vyecmuraf is an intimidation-oriented envoy with Get 'Em and Rattling Presence, as well as the feat Veiled Threat. They can come across a bit stronger than some folks enjoy playing with, so let me know if that's the case and I'll happily tone them down.

Hey Folks, I will play Hellih at this table, he is a gunsmith so I thought he fits nicely. I did play A Night in Nightarch but the previous game I played Half-Orc and I wanted to explore his mental state of going back to Nightarch and speaking with drows. Now I wish to play this scenario without that burden and simply enjoy it.

I will use the second seeker Jadura boon to replay it.

p.s. I know all the players, I played with all of the characters at the table so it is good to see you

@GM - I played with your Impex and Finn and Flute - thanks for running this scenario. Much appreciated.

I will post in the gameplay a bit later

Profession(gunsmith): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Hi, guys! therealthom, checking in. The player list was one reason I wanted to play this game. Good crew. The other reason was I've had my eye on this scenario for a while, but have never had level-appropriate PCs when a game came up. Thanks to Tealk for running it.

I'll be playing the soldier pre-gen, Obozaya. She's standing in for

Player name: therealthom
SFS # : 90661-706
Character name: HFG-5-309
Faction: Dataphiles
Boons: pregen, so sadly none.

I'll reskin 'Pregen Dakoyo' as Obozaya and post in-game tonight.

Glad to see you all on board! Yes indeed, this is a really fun scenario! I hope you all enjoy! Just waiting on our final sign-in and then we will get the show on the road!

Hey @GM I am not sure if you saw but Klude asked on the Castamir if he can join.

I just want to make sure that you did not miss it. I am fine playing as 5, if this is your choice.

Tealk, if you really want prefer 5 over 6 players, I can bow out to let Klude play with a real PC.

Yep, thank you! I have pmed DICEBOT to hop into the gameplay thread! :)

Boons:
Ally: Professional Hireling Access (Ally Boon): Diplomacy, Intimidate, Bluff +4+lvl (+8) I will play it as a mod to Hellih allowing him to do the rolls outside of combat

Social: Savior of Asanatown (Social Boon) - gives +2 to skill checks to influence creatures inside Pact Worlds Sun
Personal: Possessed Augmentation (with all tasks done)

@gm i pmed Ceolor, i played with him on the past

Thank you!

I got a Mysticism +9 and that's about it.

Can we roll to aid?

Aiding is fine, if you want to roll it as well, but i will take the highest roll of all of the skill checks presented, and that will determine the outcome. If you aid, please roleplay specifically how you would apply that skill.

Ok so the skills proposed by GM:
- Bluff,
- Intimidate,
- Profession (counselor or lawyer),
- Culture,
- Diplomacy,
- Mysticism,
- Perception,
- Profession (corporate professional, manager, or merchant),
- Sense Motive.

Hellih has Bluff, Intimidate, Diplomacy at +8 (via the hireling), Perception +4, And Profession gunsmith +9 if GM would allow the use of it

My idea is that Vyecmuraf do Intimidation, Sense Motive and Bluff, Modern Body do Mysticism

Hellih can aid at Intimidation and Bluff, Sense Motive can be aided by everyone.

Heyoh everyone!

I'm so sorry, I ended up taking a(n unintentional) holiday from the boards, and completely missed that this was starting up! I can pop into the game now, if you want, but if it's a bit too late I understand. I've jsut been looking forward to playing this for a long time and this is the first time I've had a character in level and free when it was being offered.

Hey Ceolor! Yes, please hop into the game play thread! Was hoping you would make a show soon. :) Please read through the intro scene with the Venture Captain, and then the current encounter. Looking forward to playing with you.

Okay, glad to hear I wasn't too late! I'm just updating Ceolor's character sheet and tagline now (he's level 5) and will get a post in as soon as that is done!

SFS Number 108507-702

Hey Ceolor! You Xusha, you! Good to see you, man. And I am glad that you didn't miss the shuttle ;)

These first scenarios have such weird DCs...

You guys are doing really well, you can choose to make rolls for three more skill checks if you wish to, or move on with the successes you have already made. It is entirely up to you.

Sorry guys! Lots of skill checks and information gathering the for the first part of the scenario. I promise we are getting to the more exciting stuff soon!

I’m back after thr outage, but missed my posting window. Could you please bot me for today?

Apologies everyone! I was having trouble logging in, and only now have been able to get back after i figured out how to clear my cookies!

Wait, we are in the upper floor? Shouldn't it be the ground floor?

Nope, the lower floor is underground from what I've gathered from the GM's posts.

How problematic is the Darkness for the ones blind as a bat?

Hellih can use Ceolor as a living shield, pushing him in front of him and shooting over his shoulder, while Ceolor bashes everything with his baton ;)

Ohh, YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS we should totally do that! Just get more than ten feet when Ceolor tells you to! I'll gladly take a ton of damage if it takes it!

Doesn’t photon attunement generate some light? Otherwise i’m happy to illuminate the area with my flamethrower

Not against what is likely a magical darkness.

Not to be a prick about it, but:

"Create Darkness (Su)
Source Alien Archive pg. 153
As a standard action, the creature can create a 20-foot-radius area of darkness centered on itself, which negates the effects of all nonmagical light sources in that area. This darkness lasts for a number of minutes equal to the creature’s CR, and the creature can dismiss the effect as a standard action. The darkness doesn’t move with the creature. Unless otherwise noted, any magic source of light can increase the light level in the area as normal."

Only Dancing Lights and Token Spell, both 0 level spells, create light - out of all spells available.

And if our solarian's solar manifestation "glows brightly with one color common to stars", that is also a magic source of light. Solar manifestation is a supernatural ability, and "Supernatural abilities are magical".

Well that's certainly different from Pathfinder. Good to know for running my own games. XD

Sadly our solarion's mote is "the perfect darkness of a black hole" I flavor it as having some flickering stars in the middle, but it doesn't shine.

DICEBOT has unfortunately rolled a critical in the time management department. I’m currently facing an unexpected wave of work, and might not post a lot until Wednesday. Please bot me as needed. My apologies for this situation...

Thanks for letting us know Dicebot, good luck!

Sorry guys, had a really rough time at work as well, should be back to go now!

@GM - no worries, life happens ;)

Sorry! Busy week, will post tomrrow.

Hey GM thanks for running this scenario, and thanks all for playing. I enjoyed our team and how things were handled.

Good luck at outpost tables ;) All data seems correct

Everything alright, GM?

GM, are you alright? It’s been a few weeks since we heard from you...

The game hasn't been reported as well.

I DMed them earlier today, we'll see if they get back to us.

Hi everyone! I am so so so sorry...

game has now been reported, and you can find all your chronicles filled out here!

Let me know if there are any issues. Will be closing this off next week.

Woot! Thanks for the chronicles and amazing game! It's been a pleasure to play with you and I hope life gets less busy soon!

Hey GMTealk - the chronicle looks good.

I was afraid that something has happened to you and I am glad that it was not the case.

No worries about the delay, happens to the best of us!

Yay! Glad you're alright, GM! And thanks for a fun game!

EDIT: Whoops, forgot the dayjob!
