Hi all!
I'm keen for us all to try to post regularly (aim for once or more per weekday and, at least once on weekends). Whilst adventures can be caught in 'conversation loops' back and forth, I will endeavour to keep things kicking along and get the gist of where a conversation is going and keep us pointed in the right direction.
Work, study, and wild parties in Mexico have a way of getting in the way sometimes and if that is likely please leave a post in advance if you know that you may have limited time/ability to post for a period of time (and when we can expect you back).
On that note, I am posting from Sydney, Australia. Most of you will be posting when I am asleep so when I get up around 0500 odd I usually do the catch up over a coffee, and then usually in the afternoon/evening each day.
I will generally roll Initiative (and any other rolls if really required), but not to shaft anyone or railroad them, more in the interest of giving you some sort of outcome to then respond to - I aim to complete a single round of combat within 24 hours.
When in combat, unless a PC has left botting instructions or made arrangement for another player to bot them, I will place any PC that has not posted within the past 24 hours (48 hours on a weekend) on delay.
If a single skill check has been called for, I will accept the PC with the highest skill bonus as the "primary" and all other attempts by PCs for the same check as aiding another.

Hey everyone! This will be my first time playing this character and I must also say that I'm kinda new to organized play but I'm not a newbie, I know the system and most of the rules, I've some experience at pbp by now, mostly playing Pathfinder 2e but I also have another Starfinder character who is currently in cries from the drift, so I also has some experience at starship combat.
Besides that there's no much to say I just love rpgs.
Regarding the tier well... Don't want to hold you guys back but I'm not sure if my pc could keep it up without dying or being a liability.
You can survive high tier playing up, I would just strongly suggest you don't place yourself at the front and go charging monsters all by yourself - this scenario isn't fooling around :P

Greetings. I'm the last one in, so I'm going to look over the party composition before committing to which character I'll run. My options are this one (Stell), a second level Envoy/Operative, which would be my preference, or a 1st level in one of the other classes. Don't know about high tier, but if the GM thinks we can handle it, I'm okay with it.
It's late for me (east coast, USA) so I'll check again in the morning. Should be ready to run sometime Sunday, 1/3.
I have some characters in two other long running SF campaigns on Paizo, so I'm pretty familiar with the rules.
If the party has any suggestions on what would help complete the party, let me know.

I'm good with all that. Other than weekends, I should be pretty good with the one per day posting. Thanks for running a scenario for us all Shifty!

Istilnar: Mystic 1
Soryn Lavernyr: Solarian 1
Alejandro Carlos: Envoy 3
Seems we need at least one more combat oriented character, so rather than running Stell, I think I'll run this character (Xoni). She is a kasatha soldier class with the mercenary theme. She is first level with no XP, so her equipment list is limited to the very basics affordable with the starting gold amount.
I'll post the requested list of information soon.
(If people would prefer, I also have a 1st level Mechanic and a 1st level Operative I can also have ready to go. Meanwhile, I'll be updating Xoni's Profile page.)
Unless the 6th PC is higher level, I'm wondering if playing the higher tier is a good idea, since only 1 PC so far is above 2nd level.

Boons (Happy for this to occur after the briefing)
Elixir of Renewal (from Welcome to Starfinder Society Boon), slotless. No other boons available as this is the first time running this character.
I think I'm ready to run. The GM might want to give the character sheet (profile) a once-over, as I created this character shortly after Starfinder was published and may not have doe everything correctly.

Happy to check sheets and help out - first day back at work today after the Christmas break, so will get into that tonight :)
We're all tracking that this isn't the local friendly medieval tavern?
Just pointing out you are obvious non-locals dropping into the local gang hangout.
Also, spellcasting is not subtle - it is always an obvious activity - so you will be seen doing it.

To be honest I misread the posts before mine and thought everybody had gone in there and Istilnar was just going to enter separately from them. After I realized that I decided to just to go with what I posted since it was up there already. I felt like Istilnar would have looked like just another weirdo entering a place like this alone and wouldn't draw too much attention. If casting Detect Magic is not subtle he wouldn't have done it.
Should we have been under the impression that this is more like a police raid as opposed to an infiltration?
He does look like another odd person walking in, but he's also a stranger in a bar attended by locals (and local gang members) so he will stand out - and whether it turns out as an infiltration or a raid depends on how you handle the social side upon arrival.
This has the chance to go well, or to get out of hand pretty quickly :)

I was under the impression that this wasn't a gang hideout. I even went back and reread a bunch of the briefing and Q/A stuff before making my post. I thought it was just where their contact is supposed to hang out. I'm guessing their contact (Del Shara) IS part of the Six Tip gang? Probably should have sussed that out, my bad.
So I'll just stick with how things are playing out and go from there. Hopefully no one dies. Also, I think we were leaning severely towards infiltraion/diplomacy more than invasion so just sending one or two smooth talkers in is the right way to try that (again, I hope). :D
The diplomatic thing is a valid point.
You know this is the rough side of town full of shadiness - so mysterious hooded guys who come into the bar alone, don't order drinks, then start visibly casting spells are probably not going to be perceived as a 'diplomatic approach', and may get a negative response from gang members and or people not affiliated with a gang.
Starfinder is very specific about spellcasting being super obvious - hence I raised it as a point to make sure :)
Depending on how Istilnar plays his next cards will probably determine how friendly the place is by the time Soryn arrives.

Sorry for my delay in posting. Wednesday was a disturbing day when I mostly watched the news about what was happening in DC. That put me behind on my work, so I was getting caught up yesterday and time I got around to posting I was pretty tired. Xoni was planning on being the last one in anyway, giving the others a chance to establish their presence. She'll stay in the entrance area as if waiting or watching for someone.

Sorry I haven't posted the past few days. My computer crashed yesterday and I haven't been able to log on to Paizo with any of my tablets or my phone. I'm posting from work right now, but may not be able to post much through the weekend. 'Bot Xoni if needed. She's a pretty basic fighter. If she gets the chance to make a ranged attack on the first round of combat, she'll either throw a grenade or her starknife and then try to follow up with a melee attack with her doshko, attacking one she hit with her ranged attack, to take advantage of her Opening Volley feat. She also has cleave and will use it if she gets the chance.
I've sent Soryn an email - if shes not back tomorrow morning we can bot and move forward - this encounter is pretty nasty.
This is the end encounter - so close!
Who is happy that they didn't end up in T3-4? :p
It appears I have everyone's reporting data, and have the chronicles pretty much completed.
This scenario is a serious beast, the 3-4 is quite something. This is not one where you ever want to be caught playing up.
That first fight broke so many parties - people rush up on the swarm only to find it was the poison vending death machine.
