So 5/6/7/7 = 25/4 = APL 6.25 = T 5-6 with 4 person adjust.
I'm happy with cracking on with the four of you, it would present a different problem set though.
If you need an additional party member we can always go fishing, but we'd lose that 4 person adjust and the APL could go either way.
There was a person specifically looking for this scenario:https://paizo.com/campaigns/CastamirsFlaxseedStation/recruiting&am p;page=61#3045
Technomancer 8.
33/5 = 6.6 = APL 7, so T 7-8 no adjust.
Over to you!

I'm good with adding one more person, especially if they were looking for this one.
But I think Vyv should chime in since she's the lowest level and it would be the most dangerous to us if we tier up.

Well yeah you will be cranking the difficulty higher than the last couple of adventures.

Well, since we haven't heard from Vyv, I say we add the level 8 technomancer.

Thanks for the Chronicle, Shifty - I didn't really feel like I earned it for this scenario since I couldn't regularly post. I obviously won't be able to continue with the game until my work schedule becomes less all-consuming, but I greatly enjoyed the game with you all!
Best of luck, Kommandos!

Sorry for not posting there for a bit. Got knocked out flat with my first case of Covid, and that bled into the holidays. I'm mostly recovered and should be okay to keep playing, and I'm okay with playing up. I did get a game of the grav train robbery in before I got knocked out, so I should only need another 2 chronicles to get Vyv to level 7.

Whoop, Going through chronicles and I miscalculated solidly, Vyviane is level 6 after 3-12, and only needs one chronicle after this one to get to level 7. So we playing high tier no matter what.
EDIT: and I also have about 16,000 after upgrading armor found better armor, she has about 14000... Time to do some shopping.
EDIT, EDIT: Okay did a little shopping. If anyone has good suggestions on other gear, I'm all ears otherwise for now she'll buy:
She has 8685 credits left

Weapon upgrade perhaps, but probably best to just wait until you get to level 7 and then upgrade to a level 8 weapon.

About the best I can do at this level is get a KAC targeting weapon (not the best for my attack modifier and the enemy levels) or get a weapon that does a d10 instead of my current d8. Level 8/9 weapons would be better.

A new day has dawned, and with the flip of a calendar page the aggregated stupidities of the last 5 years have been wiped away and a new day has dawned. Fresh horizons lay before us as we march into a new era with no baggage upon our minds and souls. It is indeed a New Year!

Thank-you for botting me! I have had the hardest time trying to keep track of things on the boards, but now that work has started back up, I should have some extra time to keep posting (and I have significantly less games than I did in December.)
I guess Vyviane was being a spiritual successor to her PF1e ancestor who is ostensibly on missions to observe and only gets involved if the group starts to flounder.
Also I loved the jokes and comments.

@Chorizal, I was looking at your profile and I saw you had the melee striker gear boost. I might be wrong, but wouldn't that make your damage bonus to your dragonglaive attack +14?

Crap im note sure if that works since magic missle doesnt have an attack roll or save...
I guess ill switch to cautic conversion if magic missle won't disrupt.

Seems an odd corner case - I'll allow it and go away and hunt about for more information, seems odd it wouldn't

Rastar has Step up and Strike, so as the cultist backs away, Rastar will follow and swing at him.
aoo: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
S damage: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Edit: who do I have to kill to get a d20 roll over a 10 in this game?

Chase Actions
I messed up reading the rules at first and set up a chase action (I've since realized it's a 'check for the group' system and not a 'check per person' one and spoilered the action.) But we get a check to overcome the obstacle (Overtaxing the engines) and a Chase action each round. So, which action do we want to take this round?

I just botted, Nadia. Shifty, asked for an engineering check from her. I don't know if we have a choice on what action we take.

We should get a choice, (see second paragraph) unless the scenario is predetermining our actions.
1 person marked this as a favorite.

You get one Obstacle (limited choice depending on the obstacle - first one was Chief Mate OR Engineer). Failing the obstacle either damages the ship or imposes a penalty etc.
You get one Chase action (free choice, but can't use the same choice twice in a row). Your success at chase actions determines your progress in pursuit of the other ship, your failure at chase actions may have other consequences.

That's a much better way to put it. Thank you, Shifty.
So, uh, thanks to me and Chorizal, it seems we have rounds 1 and 2 settled. Any suggestions for next round?

Should I try for the out speed action this round?

Go for it, Nadia. Also, don't forget to take the +2 bonus from the ship's computer.
For the Computers check either Vyv (+13) or Nadia (+15) have our highest skill modifier. We can take a +2 bonus on one of those rolls also.
