Game Master Lysle

"Why did I think a visit to the grandest library in the universe would be relaxing..."

He pulls his pistol and take a shot at Blue

Pew Pew (Hail pistol): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Piercing and Cold damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

"Ah, gishvits. Obviously, these vermin have concealed themselves within books. Best to deal with them quickly. Pulling out a pulsecaster so any errant shots won't damage the library's holdings, Speaker for the Dead fires at one of the creatures.

Speaker for the Dead recalls that gishvits have a long, tongue-like ribbon with which they lash at targets or worse.

However, his shot fails to find its mark.

"Why did I think a visit to the grandest library in the universe would be relaxing..."

He pulls his pistol and take a shot at Blue

Crit Piercing and Cold damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Elwin is far more accurate, icing one of the gishvits (blue). The rapidly formed ice-crystals that result tear into the creature, causing a thick, ink-like substance to ooze from its wound.

In response, the gishvit (blue)nearest to the technomancer, lashes out with its lengthy ribbon!
Melee (ribbon) v Elwin EAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

With Elwin grasped within its ribbon, the gishvit instantly begins transferring the information within its pages, forcing it into Elwin's brain! The sudden onslaught of facts and recorded information is overwhelming!
@ Elwin must succeed at a DC 12 Will save or be staggered for 1d4 rounds.

Another gishvit (red) clatters along the stone floor, then climbs up the side of the staircase!
Double move

A third (green) scuttles up the steps then whips its ribbon towards Morbo.
Melee (ribbon) v Morbo EAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

It, too, unleashed a stream of information into the Starfinder's large cranium.
@ Morbo must succeed at a DC 12 Will save or be staggered for 1d4 rounds.

Elwin grasps his head in agony...

The technomancer reels from the pain.

Misty Kit types rapidly on their biocomputer, hoping to identify the creatures and any strengths or weaknesses they have.

Life Science = 20 + 12 = 32

The biocomputer confirms that these creatures are not any natural form of life.

In that case I will use Physical Science to identify them for the same result.

As Misty Kit's actual action, they will draw their weapon, as the move action on the identify precludes the free draw.

Bisig lines up another shot on the green Gishvit.

Attack; Fire Damage: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d8 ⇒ 6

Retrieving the results of her custom microlab, Misty Kit confirms that the creatures are gishvits. Sometimes referred to as “lore roaches” by scholars familiar with the Outer Planes, gishvits maintain vast stores of knowledge within their booklike bodies. Transcribing knowledge from living creatures, a gishvit stores information in its body in the form of written text, preserving the acquired knowledge within itself. Many librarians consider them to be pests.

Gishvits have a ravenous desire for new information, but find little joy in relating such information through conversation. Negotiators find conversations with gishvits incredibly difficult, and though gishvits rarely have the chance to converse with other beings, they still find most conversations a detraction from their endless urge to transcribe knowledge.
Transcription (Su) A gishvit finds pleasure in being a repository of information. It can immediately transcribe information dictated to it and material it overhears. Alternately, a gishvit can spend an hour with a willing subject, wherein it collects memories and experiences from the subject This transcription process is not dangerous to either the gishvit or the target. Information recorded and stored in this manner appears as filled pages within the gishvit’s booklike body, and it remains there for up to 24 hours after the gishvit is slain (unless the gishvit was killed by an erase spell; see below). Another creature can research the pages of a willing or deceased gishvit. The text inside a gishvit is comprehensible to any creature that can read and knows at least one written language. Researching the information within a gishvit for 1 hour grants the reader a +4 insight bonus to a Life Science, Mysticism or Physical Science check in the next 24 hours, and the reader can attempt such checks even if not trained in that skill.
Vulnerability to Erase (Su) An erase spell deals 3d4 damage to a gishvit and has a 50% chance of removing all written text within its pages (no save). A gishvit reduced to 0 Hit Points or below in this manner is slain, becoming a blank book.

As the kiirinta takes in this information, the ysoki nearly burns a hole through one of the gishvits (green)

Another gishvit (yellow) clatters up the steps towards Morbo!

"Ahh! You disgusting book tongue is unsetteling and unsanitary. Morbo does not approve."

Apologies. There was another dimension to this battle that I had overlooked completely last round.

The symbols and equations in the room have now fully manifested and have taken over the entire room!

When Morbo goes to open his mouth, the magical markings are drawn towards his open orifice!
Morbo, Will save (DC 13): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The Starfinder buckles over as the symbols force their way into his mouth. He bends over wretching, regurgitating the magical script, which flies out of his mouth and towards the nearest Starfinder, hitting Elwin like a bolt of force!
Regurgitated symbols v. Elwin: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Making rolls for last round
Bisig, Will save (DC 8): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Elwin, Will save (DC 8): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

The magical symbols flow into Misty Kit's proboscis, before being regurgitated at the nearest Starfinder, again hitting Elwin like a bolt of force!
Regurgitated symbols v. Elwin: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

BOTTING Speak for the Dead - No post in 48+ hours

The Speaker for the Dead considers his response to the gishvits.
Speaker for the Dead, Will save (DC 8): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Unaffected by the magical script storm in the air, the Speaker for the Dead considers his options.
Delaying

On your turn, each PC must make a Will save (DC 8) or, a Will save (DC 13) if the PC attempts to communicate through speech. If a PC fails their save, the equations enter their body (bypassing regular armor protections). Then the next time that PC acts, they must spend a move action regurgitating the magical script, which manifests as a magic missile that targets that PC’s nearest ally and deals 1d4+1 force damage.

Seemingly unaffected by the tempest of magical equations blustering about the room, the gishvits continue their assault.

One of the gishvits (red) skitters across the flor and wall towards the kiirinta.

Another (blue) lashes its ribbon at the two Starfinders before it!

Melee (ribbon) v Bisig EAC, full-attack: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 4 = 18
Melee (ribbon) v Speaker for the Dead EAC, full-attack: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 4 = 3

More ink-like substance oozes from the gishvit's wounds.

Speaker for the Dead stays silent but keeps blasting, regretful that the only way to deal with these creatures seems to be through violence.

Will save failed to beat a DC 8, so Speaker for the Dead spends a move action regurgitating magical script, which manifests as a bolt of force.

After hurling magical script at the ysoki, the embri is unable to line up his shot and it misses.

COMBAT OVER

With the outsiders gone, the equation storm ceases. Shortly thereafter, Albryan enters shortly after an apologies for what he describes as “invading parasites”. Albryan offers to allow you to spend more time in the area as recompense. However, your collective research has already provided you with enough insight from the documentation to tell that the Starfinder Society agents previous had been following up on all information related to a string of Pact World–sponsored colonies out in the Vast that went missing, but were never acknowledged by the Pact. It would seem, then, that the party having already recovered all of the available information. The axiomite also provides you with an amulet of camouflage, a spare that retrieved from one of Athaeum's many vaults.

"This reward is for your efforts weathering the equational storm and defeating the aberrant tomes. I must, however, demand that you depart as soon as your allotted time is over." Albryan insists. Albryan and the other Curators refuse to allow any of the documents to
leave the library.

Left no alternative, you depart Athaeum and make the journey back to the Pact Worlds. Upon your return, Ehu meets with you. commending you for braving the unexpected dangers of the library.

"While the danger was unexpected," the kasatha states, “a Starfinder must always be prepared for danger in the most peaceful corners of the galaxy.”

Reviewing your information that you have learned about the missing Pact Worlds colonies, Ehu indicates that the information is startling and that he plans to petition the Forum to investigate the apparent Pact Worlds cover-up. He again thanks you and immediately departs to collate the retrieved data and put together his case.

Your personal comms ping with a notice that your accounts have each received a deposit of 180 credits.

Having completed the missions for each of the candidates, you are free to return to the Lorespire Complex and meet with First Seeker Luwazi Elsebo. When you find the current First Seeker, she is not waiting within the Lorespire. Instead, she sits on a bench near the center of the campus. When she spots the party, Luwazi waves you over and eagerly asks, "So, what are your opinions as to each of the candidates for First Seeker? I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts."

As you may have gathered, we are wrapping up soon. Please feel free to post a response in character if you'd like. I will close out the scenario within the next 48 hours or once everyone has posted, whichever comes sooner.

Morbo considers thing for a while.
"While Terra Nova and Calder Soren both have a certain flair I appreciate, aggress reprisals and rigid bureaucracy do not seem like good imaged for the society at the moment. Avor Stelaks concern for the well being of our agents is nice to see and likely valuable in the wake of our conflict with the Jinsul. Ehu Hadifs interest in resuming our old ventures does appeal to me both as a Starfinder and a Reporter."

"This one thought Ehu Hadifs best exemplified the necessary balance between risk and discovery that the Starfinder Society should strive to achieve."

Elwin the Technomancer wrote:

Ninja'd, but the result is unfortunately the same.

Hey, you did twice as well as I did! :)

Elwin nods, "I agree. Ehu Hadif's ideals seem to be the best mix for the society's future."

"Agreed. While it was a lot of fun for us, my people's discovery seems to have put us at a bit of a disadvantage. Especially seeing what the Society's enemies will do to embarrass it."

"Interesting." notes First Seeker Luwazi Elsebo, pensively.
"Your opinions appear to be in sync."

The First Seeker Luwazi Elsebo as she stands from the bench she’d been sitting on, before she continues, "I must sincerely thank you for taking the time to meet each of these candidates. Your reports on this matter is important to me, but more importantly, these impressions can help shape the Society. Know that in the coming months, the Forum will convene to decide the Society’s future."

"As for what the future holds, though the Forum represents our broader leadership, the decision truly comes from the agents that make up our Society, like yourselves." she continues. "I have no doubt that in the coming days, you’ll each have an opportunity to give your final decision on which of these candidates should take my position as the Society’s guiding leader and that those decisions will shape our future."

“For now, think on these candidates and prepare to make an
informed decision.” she says.

Not long afterward, with the election completed. A new First Seeker is elected, ushering in a new direction for the Starfinder Society.

Fin

Thank you all for a fun run! I will get the chronicles up in the next day or two.
