A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 7-10.
During a routine investigation on the false moon of Salvation's End, the PCs encounter an emissary from the vault's mysterious guiding intelligence. Directed to stop an ongoing invasion of another vault, the PCs find themselves caught in the middle of a conflict that could determine the fate of the false moon. Only through the PCs' actions can the machinations of the mysterious Vault Lord be halted.

Ashuer is caught off guard by the majesty of the dragon - definitely not something he was expecting here in the vaults.
With the dragon flying out of view, he takes a shot at the next closest target. red

@Faraeon the move part of the Trick is not a single move action to move and as such doesn't let you draw a weapon as part of that move.
Exception: If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher, you can combine drawing or sheathing a weapon or weapon-like object with moving up to your speed as a single move action. But I let you do that because I think it's stupid.
@Benoit I will say the dragon is 10ft. up. and resistance apply first.
Ashuer, shaken by the sight of the dragon, is unable to aim right his shot and miss his target.
Gab is quite disappointed as the Cybernetic Golem golem don't seem to fall for his trick or understand anything of what he tried to do. Clever Feint don't work on the Golem
His shot miss the golem as it's not befuddled by Gab's clever words.
Only one of Pan's shot hit the Golem for less damages as the creature is resistant to physical damage.
TEC-9 moves and shots the Golem, but instead of hurting it, the electricity seems to heal it instead! +9HP
Then Faraeon moves in the air and place a well placed shot in the Golem's knee! and the Golem falls!
The Golem stands up and continues to shoot at Gab but none of the shoot find their mark as its comrade.
In the meantime, the dragon quickly fly over and attacks Compucast, with his rifle!

Benoit, moves in on the southernmost golem. The nozzle of his nova lance ignites with a jet of superheated plasma before he jabs it at the golem. "TEC-9, attack my target, maximum firepower," he says into his armor's comm unit linked to his custom rig. TEC-9, deploys its other weapon arm and the intense whine of a disintegrator weapon powering up fills the air before it releases a beam of disruptive energy at the same golem Benoit just attacked.

Seeing the dragon wants to deal with the major threat... himself, Compucast quickly manipulates the air around himself, making his form shift a few feet to the right.
"Oh so the dragon wants to play at range?" he snarls, irritated by his own fear.
Activating his force soles (mk II) he flexes his claws as he climbs into the sky.
I hope nobody can see my claws shaking. he thinks as he tries to attract the dragons attention.

Faraeon moves through the skies of the vault to get a little more distance between himself and the dragon, but keeps his weapon trained on Red, hoping that between them, he and Ashuer will be able to take down Red.

After a barrage of shoots, both golem are still standing but battered! Red is almost ready to collapse, but still stands. It continues to attack Gab and one attack hits despite being off target!
Gab is now bleeding. in HP
Orange, starts doing crazy and full attacks Benoit, landing one attack on the mechanic.
The Dragon flies over Compucast and bites him!
@Gab Orange is not FF, how do you avoid taking an AoO from it?
AoO from Orange if you can't avoid it vs KAC:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26 Damages, B&So:3d6 + 14 ⇒ (1, 6, 1) + 14 = 22

I have Benoit at -17 SP since he made his save from the electricity breath attack and his electrostatic field gives him DR/10 against electricity. His energy shield absorbed the remaining 19 points of damage leaving him with 6 in the shield before this last attack that did 23 points of damage.
Benoit's energy shield shorts out as the golem punches him for the first time. Flicking a few custom designed switches on his nova lance, Benoit causes the weapon's plasma jet to erupt violently before he attacks again with it. improved overcharge
TEC-9's, accurate fusion attached to his disintegrator cannon steadies its aim on the golem attacking Benoit before it fires again.

Ashuer moves closer to get a better view of both golems and takes a shot.

@Benoit duly noted! Can you put your energy resistance on your profile? It would help me, so I don't have to look back at your character sheet, thanks! ;-)
@Compucast when did you have cast Displacement? Or is it something constant on you?
Benoit hits again his target, but his weapon doesn't seems to do much damages as it burns and heals at the same time the creature. TEC-9 continues to make holes in the creature.
Faraeon with an adjusted shot, destroy his target.
Pan hits the last standing Golem and destroy hit!
@Ashuer both golem are destroyed. You can choose another action.

What is its reach? I went up, then right, so was never within 10 feet of orange.
Gab activates his haste circuit and ducks behind cover, then fires at the dragon.
Swift action: activate haste circuit armor upgrade. Move: Move 10 feet behind cover. Standard: Clever attack on dragon
Clever Feint(Bluff, Convincing Liar):1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34 Bluff expertise:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 So that would be success if Sense Motive modifier is <+27 and if CR <14. I assume I don't need to spend the RP to turn it into a success. Radshot pistol attack, 1 range penalty, vs. flat-footed EAC:1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 2 = 12 Radshot damage:2d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 3) + 5 = 10
"That shot was just a distraction. Light it up," Gab says over the comms.

Gahh, in one of my edits, I must have removed the OOC text that made it clear. It was back in this post. I have the fluff text in there, but not the actual 'casts displacement' so real, real easy to miss. Sorry about that.
@Compucast No worries, but I need to know exactly what you cast, as the dragon is intelligent, know spells, and will have not attacked you, but rather another character less protected.
Can you update your your headline with your active spell? Thanks!
Ashuer tricks and shots the dragon while Gab completely feints the poor dragon but too quick to shoot, miss the big guy!
The Dragon not happy at all decides to breath again! Ashuer, Gab and Pan are all caught in electricity!

Benoit orders TEC-9 to move to his position. As the combat drone approaches Benoit takes a hand off his nova lance and reaches it out to flip a few custom switches on its colossus coil allowing it to charge up beyond its normal capacity. improved overcharge
The air around TEC-9 crackles with static electricity and the sensors on top of its body rotate to focus on the dragon. The combat drone's fire control system locks the weapon on the dragon and then releases a hair raising stream of electricity at it.
@Ashuer you are shaken which give you -2 to your save and made you fail this save.
Ashuer, shaken by the powerful presence of the dragon, is unable to avoid the dragon's breath and then misses his target from an inch!

Pan gasps in pain, but manages to shield himself from at least some of the torrent of electricity. He switches his tracking function to the dragon and fires.

Benoit moves in on the dragon while taking a hand off of his nova lance and drawing his hand axe. TEC-9, lumbers forward and the combat drone's fire control system locks its disintegrator cannon on the dragon. deadly aim An intense humming noise fills the air as the cannon powers up and then releases a beam of disruptive energy at the dragon.
Still shaken, Pan is able to avoid part of the electricity blast but his aim is off and he miss the dragon.
Meanwhile, TEC-9's aim is true and the dragon is hit by its disintegrator's cannon.

Gab says, "Okay, guys ... We've gotta pull together now. Everything you've got, throw it at this thing."
He pulls up his gun and fires his radshot pistol at the dragon, then pulls back to have some cover from the creature (hopefully).
Swift action: United Society boon (below). GM: Do I could as one of the "every ally within 60 feet" for this boon? Standard: Attack. Move: Move to cover.
United Society boon Once per adventure, when this boon is slotted, as a swift action you can make a passionate speech, state a simple reminder, bring up a stirring bit of digital data, or any other kind of inspirational element to remind you and your fellow Starfinders what you’re fighting for. When you use this ability, every ally within 60 feet can choose one of the following: • Gain a +2 morale bonus on all attack and damage rolls until the beginning of your next turn. • Regain a number of Stamina Points equal to their level. • Remove a single condition as per remove condition (remove frightened, nauseated, paralyzed, shaken, sickened, or staggered).
@Grabber the rules says "You count as your own ally unless an ability says otherwise" so I will say that yes, you count as your own allies and can be targeted by your boon ability.
Gab really dodges death and in a last gambit decides to inspire his Starfinders' comrade!
Then, shots the dragon right in the left eyes! and The dragon starts coughing!
Compucast returns to the basic and send magic missiles to add to the injury.
