Speaker for the Dead hurries to catch up, disheartened to realise the "packages" contained living creatures, not robots or undead as he expected.

Double move.

"I SUGGEST YOU GET THIS CREATURE!"
Get'em on red +1 to hit
Then he tries to bap red with his tactical baton attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 b damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Fire Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

The ysoki zaps the electrovore (red)more.

Avor rushes into escort Pave-5, who eagerly follows the hylki Starfinder to a place of relative safety.

The other electrovore (yellow) flaps forward, (Guarded Step) then discharges some of its stores of electrical energy in a powerful attack.

/Speaker of the Dead\
Elwin the Technomancer

Elwin moves up closer, moving a hand in a fan like fashion as a wave of flame shoots from it, engulfing the Elctrovores and narrowly missing his freinds.

Seeing that the red creature looks worse, Bisig moves to get a better shot and takes it!

Laser Rifle, EAC Red Electrovore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Fire Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Remembering this is all being filmed, Speaker for the Dead tries to think of something cinematic he can do--but he's no action hero! Instead, he gives the embri equivalent of a shrug and shoots at the electrovore again.

semi-tactical auto pistol vs Yellow KAC: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

damage (piercing): 1d6 ⇒ 2

The ysoki's shot swiftly brings down one of the electrovores (red).

Elwin takes the full brunt and grunts in pain. He staggers away from the thing and lets another ray fly..
"Uh, we gotta get that thing down fast before it kills all of us!"

Energy ray : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Energy damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Elwin looks very hurt, like he's barely standing.

Elwin looks very hurt, like he's barely standing.

Unless I missed something, Elwin should only be down 3 SP. Also, I rolled his Reflex save with the electric attack. He succeeded, thus no stagger and only half damage.

All living things must die, but they need not all die today. Speaker for the Dead whispers a prayer and tries to save the life of the fallen electrovore.

Casting stabilize on the Red electrovore.

Seeing that the first creature is down, Bisig turns his rifle onto the second one and will fire twice.

Laser Rifle (EAC): 1d20 ⇒ 9 Miss
Laser Rifle (EAC): 1d20 ⇒ 20
Fire Damage: 1d8 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + (8) = 10
Burn Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Bisig's first shot misses a little low, but the second strikes true, hitting just right and setting the creature on fire! "And that's why my ol' squad called me "Wreck"!", Bisig says over the comm unit.

Bisig's first shot misses a little low, but the second strikes true, hitting just right and setting the creature on fire! "And that's why my ol' squad called me "Wreck"!", Bisig says over the comm unit.

"Kill shot. Followed by one-liner tag. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd scene!" Wazasha checks off aloud. "That ought to be good enough. It's a wrap!" The ghoul informs her undead crew as they begin to pack up their cameras and gear.

Wazasha approaches /Speaker for the Dead\ to address him. (Making him /Listener to the Dead\?) As she speaks, the ghoul's tongue flickering about with minimal restraint, "I appreciate you being good sports about this and battling the creatures. I believe I have the footage I need to finish this assignment and move on. You should expect some release on the ongoing corporate media pressure regarding Pave-5. You can take the android back now, if you want them."

Avor Stelek emerges with Pave-5 following the battle, holding a comm unit that holds a very recent message from Zo! Media. "Thank you all, Starfinders." he says to the party. "Your efforts have helped to save a fellow Starfinder."

"Y-you mean, I'm free?" Pave-5 responds upon hearing the news. "I don't know how to thank you, but please accept what I have." Pave-5 offers you an efficient bandolier.

"Pave-5. you are now free to return to the Lorespire Complex and join the duty roster." Avor declares, prompting an eager Pave-5 to quickly depart.

Avor turns to the party. "Some of you look injured." he notes, his glance falling primarily on Morbo before he retrieves an advanced medkit. "Please allow me to help treat your wounds."

Avor ends his time with you by indicating that he knows that he can do a lot of good for the Society, and whether or not he becomes First Seeker, he intends to keep helping newer agents and especially those who’ve found themselves abused by the Society’s supposed allies.

Looks to me like Tara Nova next, yes?

By recalling earlier viewed data feeds or by asking around, the Starfinders may find they have some information regarding the candidate Tara Nova.

You see a human woman sitting atop a stack of pillows, speaking into a nearby drone about the Society’s recent successes in the Scoured Stars and how the growing anti-Society media campaign is entirely engineered by those scared that the Society can succeed when so many other organizations seem to be stagnating.

When the woman spots you, she quickly gives a nonverbal sign to her staff and brings her broadcast to end, taking a short moment before cutting the feed to remind her viewers, "Remember to pledge to my channel for more truth about the Starfinder Society.”

Once the feed shuts off, the woman on the pile of pillows stands up to the sounds of hydraulics in her armor moving.

“Hey there! You must be the agents that Luwazi was going to send in to check on me. Yes, I know all about that. I’ve heard that she’s been sending agents to check in on all the potential First Seeker candidates; after all, I’m tuned in on all the big social media platforms." says the woman a with a knowing smile.

"It wasn’t hard to guess that she’d send Starfinders of your growing stardom to come check on me. My name’s Taralea Jamson, but everyone, and I mean everyone , calls me Tara Nova.”

Tara waves her hand over a table in the room’s center that quickly flashes with wire-frame light displaying the outline of a starship.
“This here is the wreck of the Implacable Reason, a Starfinder vessel that was chasing after a jinsul ship causing some problems out in the Vast. Our ship took out the jinsul vessel but crashed on the surface of a nearby moon soon after."

"Sounds like the surviving jinsuls managed to get a landing party down before their ship exploded and they’ve since seized the Implacable Reason’s wreck, using it as an impromptu base." she says sourly. “Given that the jinsuls are the scum of the galaxy, we can’t let this stand. I’d like you to head down to that wreck and clear out any of those damned leg-blade-for-days stragglers left inside. I’m even going to send you with two of my media drones so we can record your little cleanup mission and show the Pact Worlds that we’re not a group you wanna mess with!"

"Do you have any questions, before I arrange transport?"

"Sounds standard. I'll need a dew minutes to re-balance myself, but I suspect the travel time will be more than long enough for that?"

After the last Electrovore goes down, "OK, that was horrible. I hope to never see those things again."

When Avor offers to heal us, "Oh, thank you..." as he groans in pain.

After the show and meeting, "Jinsuls. I hear they are nasty. Well. we can read up and study on the way."

Yeah i will be spending an RP to recover. How many HP do i get back form that medical attention?

culture: 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (2) = 12

Speaker for the Dead says to her: "This one wonders at the purpose of the mission. Surely the jinsul are no risk to anyone, stranded on a deserted moon in a wrecked starship. Would Terra Nova risk our lives for revenge or publicity?"

Culture: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

You will have days between this mission and reaching the wreck, so you can fully recover, SP, HP, RP, spells and daily abilities.

Speaker for the Dead says to her: "This one wonders at the purpose of the mission. Surely the jinsul are no risk to anyone, stranded on a deserted moon in a wrecked starship. Would Terra Nova risk our lives for revenge or publicity?"

"You speak as one who has never met the jinsul," Terra Nova begins, "nor followed my vidfeeds. The jinsul are a constant threat. They have used the wreck to set up a base on a large moon in orbit of the planet Izal 4, posing a danger to any that may travel through the system. With a foothold established, it is only a matter of time before they bring reinforcements that will make the system of Izal 4 and nearby systems treacherous to navigate."

"The jinsul having a base in the system is bad enough for Pact Worlders entering the system." she continues. "The jinsul having a base that prominently displays the Starfinder insignia on it is intolerable. It is a public relations nightmare that is sure to cause Pact Worlders to question our ability and commitment. Some have already begun blaming the Society for bringing the Pact Worlds to the jinsuls' attention. Footage of the jinsul using a Society ship as a striking base would provide a strong symbolic meme for those opponents of the Society to exploit."

A pair of flying drones enter the room and take up positions floating around you all. "This is Bitty and Itty." notes Tara Nova. "They'll be with you for the remainder of the mission, recording your efforts and obtaining the footage I need to put on the infosphere."

A picture of Tara Nova is now available on Slides.

"Make sure they don't get involved in any combat." she cautions. "The goals of your mission are straightforward. Travel to the Starfinder starship wreck and clear out any remaining jinsuls."

Tara Nova arranges transport on a Society freighter called the Promise of the Future to the site of the crashed vessel. The remains of the ship lie upon the surface of a large moon in orbit of the planet Izal 4. The freighter makes the roughly 14-day journey through the Drift toward the moon. Once in orbit, you are able to take a smaller shuttle down to the moon’s surface.

After landing and spending about ten minutes traveling toward the wreck of the Implacable Reason, you find the ship mostly torn up in its fiery crash onto the lunar surface. However, its port side has survived with minimal damage.

You are able to move through the wreckage of the starship to reach the section of the starship that remains the most intact. The outer walls of the ship are starship bulkheads, while the interior walls are made out of starship interior compound. The ceilings in the area are 20 feet high. A sealed door remains between you and the interior of the starship.

Door now revealed on Map.

Opening the door requires a a successful Engineering check or a a DC 12 Strength check to force it open.

"Everyone ready? I've heard from other Starfinders who have encountered them that these things are terrifying"

engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

"Speaker for the Dead, you are good at noticing things correct? I have a biohack that might be useful for you."

Misty Kit is proposing a major Biohack for you, which gives you Blindsense(sound) for 60 minutes.

Elwin handily opens the door. Beyond stands a corridor that extends about thirty-five feet and terminates in a set of double doors. A closed door is situated along the eastern wall and a closed set of double doors lies along the western wall of the corridor.

A computer console lies mounted on the wall of the corridor in the northwest corner.

Area now revealed on Map with computer console indicated in green.

Please move your tokens where you wish and provide any Perception or other skill checks to accompany your movement.

"This one thanks Misty Kit for that one's injection of bio-engineering substances."

Might as well check for traps before moving into the room and toward the computer console, just in case.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11Morbo address the drones as the team moves through the corridor,
"What began as a peaceful mission of exploration and discover transformed in a battle for the very survival of the organization. Here you see the afternath of the Jinsul aggression as we attempt to salvage what remains of this vessel and return any fallen Starfinders to their loved ones so they observe the customs of the respective cultures."

Before realizing he should not be the first in, Elwin steps in to get a better look over and especially at the doors near him.
perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Bisig nods to Elwin as he moves into the hallway and covers both ends with his laser rifle.

Misty Kit moves forward and looks around.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

From her elevated position, Misty Kit readily sees that a crude trap has been placed in the entrance to the hall, just before Bisig is about to trigger it.
Moved Bisig's token back accordingly.

Triggered by an infrared sensor, the setup is fashioned to release a blast of stored plasma from the loosened panels along the wall.
Requires a successful Engineering check (to patch the panels) or a Computers check (to disable power to the panels from the door terminal).
Location of trap now indicated by yellow-dotted area on Map.
