[SFS/Shifty] The Vast Experiment (A) (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Chorizal takes advantage of his opening before getting run over.

Basic Dragonglaive (AoO): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Slashing and Electricity Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

He then rushes to interpose himself between J'Shun and the cultist and get back into the thick of it.

He provokes an AoO from the plant from movement.

"I don't know who's on what side but you both are against us so you both get the same treatment," he says to plant and cultist.

Basic Dragonglaive against plant: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Slashing and Electricity Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Basic Dragonglaive cleave against cultist if previous attack hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Slashing and Electricity Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Vyviane gives a look at J'Shun undercutting her words with his own orders and gives a sigh, she leans in and gives a conspiratorial whisper to the plant creature near her, "Look, I'm on your side but I'm undercover, you need to make this look convincing but don't hurt me too badly."

Trick Attack, Bluff: 1d20 + 23 - 20 ⇒ (8) + 23 - 20 = 11 =CR tricked
Extra damage: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 7, 4) = 16

Boom, Holla, BOOM! (Thunderstrike pistol) vs. EAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Sonic Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
If tricked and hit, Off-target for one round

NAdia will move up and Slow the two enemies on the right hand side.

Chorizal also feels the needles probing for his flesh as he stood his ground...
DC14 Fort save or lose 1 con
Though he manages to slam his blade home!

The plant slaps at him as he rushes past!
AOO 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 vs KAC
Damage 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

And this is enough to put Chorizal off getting an effective shot at his foe!

***

Vyv manages to shoot the plant once again - it seems to be having a struggle dealing with the slippery Starfinder!

Nadia casts...

Plant - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Cultist - 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Chorizal shakes it off as the other cultist tries getting away!

Chorizal, AOO as they flee!

...then cast a spell grasping vines cover a large area, potentially stifling movement!

Grasping Vines (Su) - DC 16 Reflex
Creatures that successfully save can move as normal, but those that remain in the area must attempt a new save at the end of your turn each round. Creatures moving into the area must attempt a save immediately; failure ends their movement and they become entangled.

Reflex Evasion, this should be easy, I seriously only take damage on a 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Vyviane catches the plant starting to charge into a trample and flips forward onto Rastar's shoulder and then off of them, hoping to push him out of the way as she herself sails gracefully over the plant creature.

She lands on the other side and immediately fires a shot at the creature's back.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 5 = 21
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 5 = 18

J'Shun, remains frozen in place, but somehow manages to not get entangled by the vines.

Has the hold spell's duration run its course with Rastar?

"That's right, you better run!" Chorizal says as the cultist turns tail.

He gives him a shot with the dragonglaive to punctuate his point and hopefully puncturate him.

Basic Dragonglaive: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Slashing and Electricity Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Refl: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

He is tempted to follow the man to a more target rich environment, but he can't abandon J'Shun in his current state, so he continues to cut up the plant man.

Basic Dragonglaive: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Slashing and Electricity Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

will surely we can roll higher than a 10?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Rastar continued to struggle against the magics holding him in place. Honestly it was getting kids of ridiculous. All this fighting going on around him and here he was twiddling his mental thumbs.

Nadia blasts the plant creature on the right with a full round magic missle,
force damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2, 2) + 3 = 8

Has the hold spell's duration run its course with Rastar?

At 1 round/caster level - not yet, still a while to go...

Chorizal swipes at the retreating cultist but they were too quick.
The swing at the plant also misses by just a leaf!

Nadia sends magical streaks slamming into one of the plants - splattering sap as they strike home, a satisfying strike!

Vyv tricks the bewildered plant, but the shot is misplaced.

Rastar remains frozen.

J'Shun also remains frozen.

Chorizal grunts in pain and his ears start to bleed a bit.

"Any time you guys want to join in would be great! Eight arms and no fighting isn't the most optimal plan!" Chorizal calls out the Kasathas.

He hacks at the plant again in hopes of taking it down so that he can get to the mind flay...flensers.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 5 = 17

J'Shun, remains rooted in place, but not entangled by some stroke of luck.

Chorizal has no luck landing a blow - maybe it is the cramped fighting conditions.

J'Shun comes free (and free to act!)

Wait, what, a 13 will save allows J'Shun to break free from hold person? I also rolled a reflex save since J'Shun is in the area of effect of the grasping vines.

My bad, misread as 18 - long day at work

Nadia has has enough of these cultists and readies to standard action magic missle as soon as she sees one begin to cast.
I will move position if I do not have a clear line of sight to at least one of them

good will hunting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

No luck yet

If anything, Rastar's mind was getting more tired as he struggled to break the spell holding him in place.

Vyviane keeps up her song and dance, trying to distract and deflect the attention of the plant as she also tries with increasing furvor and worry to take it down.

Trick Attack, Bluff: 1d20 + 23 - 20 ⇒ (19) + 23 - 20 = 22 =CR tricked

Chorizal doubles down on the lack of luck.

Vyv tricks the bewildered plant again, but manages to land the shot this time!

Rastar finds the spell wearing off!
Free to act next round

J'Shun remains frozen still.

Nadia bides her time...

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

As Chorizal is attacked body and mind, he's starting to look not so good. But he just grits his teeth and digs in.

"You will fall, plant, this I Captain Chorizal fifth son of Clan Summersword, House Yashida, line of Kazsta, storm spawned! command!"

Basic Dragonglaive: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 7 - 5 = 13

J'Shun, can only continue to watch the battle while the vines surrounding him begin to grasp his legs and arms.

"...rip you apart and fling your entrails at the sun!"

Rastar's inner monologue bursts into sound as his mind and body are free to act on their own once more. He spun in place, stepping to put the plant creature between him and Vy before bringing his buzzing blade down on the plant thing.

attack1,flank: 1d20 + 11 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 4 + 2 = 29

critical damage: 1d12 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
critical bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 3

You deserved that natural 20 after being held for 7 rounds.

Chorizal and J'Shun seem stuck in a stalemate with their foes...

Rastar comes out of his paralysis and splinters the tree that comes apart dramatically!

Map updated!

Vyv and Nadia up :)

Nadia throws some nanites at the deusiuional shrub hounding her allies,
"I hope these things aren't round up ready!
vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
"ok looks like maybe they are, new plan"

Deciding to leave plant number two to the rest of the fighters, and to get some plant goop off of herself, Vyviane decides to send some love and goop to the cultists.

"Right, you've got my... well friend isn't the right word here... work colleague? all bound up there. And we can't have that... though if you could make it so he can't speak that would be amazing!"

She slides across the table and then the floor using the goop Rastar so kindly coated EVERYTHING in, and flings a good glob of it at the dark grey cultist's back before following up with a shot of sonic.

Trick Attack, Bluff: 1d20 + 23 - 20 ⇒ (4) + 23 - 20 = 7 =CR tricked
Extra damage: 3d8 ⇒ (8, 1, 3) = 12

Nadia fires off some nanites but has misjudged the timing - they seem to spray all over the airhockey table instead.

Vyv tricks the cultist as she rushes in and then shoots them - with a satisfying result (not satisfying for them though!)

Vyv also manages to run through the laser net that was in place...

Athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 Assuming the DC is 15 like the strength check DC for Grasping Vines than J'Shun is no longer entangled.

J'Shun, finally breaks free of the mental prison he was in and all the commands he had wanted give to the Kommandos come out of his mouth in a torrent.

"Private Rastar, stop standing there and attack the enemy. Lieutenant Isafira, concentrate your fire on the cultist to your south. Private Belluno, suppress the cultist to my southwest. Captain Chorizal, stand you ground. Space Admiral J'Shun Kay, first son of Clan Summersword, House Davion, line of Atsu, born in fire! is back in the fight!!!"

Shrugging aside the vines that were grasping him he focuses his control of entropy again into Tears of the Sun. Waves of force emanate from his blade and time seems to slow as he swings it at the mutant plant.

Entropic Strike vs. Gray Hashed EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Vyviane tries to slide through the laser net.

Reflex save, Evasion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

She misjudges the slide and the laser beams and gets a small cut. She frowns at the failure at something that should have been supremely easy for her, but her mental defenses suddenly snap up at the unexpected Mind Thrust, her mental fortress training coming into play.

Will save, Commando Training: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28

Dangit, Failing that reflex save means Vyv has taken her exact stamina damage. I thought she got trampled for some damage very early on but that should have been negated by Evasion.

She still takes some damage but is more than happy to fire back, using the mental connection to send some distracting psychic waves first.

With J'Shun free to engage the other plant creature, Rastar rushed the nearest cultist, swinging away with his fangblade and shouting "Get some! Get some!" which was all his addled brain could come up with at the moment.

attack, FF?: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 2 = 28
S damage: 1d12 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

"On it!
Nadia readies a caustic conversion for her assigned target

"Good to have you back. Now that you are back, I'll leave this guy to you," Chorizal says to J'Shun.

Refl: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

He manages to hustle his way through the vines to get closer to the cultists.

Chorizal manages to fight his way across the obstacle-filled battlefield - finding himself at the front of a new melee!

Vyv fires off at the cultist - aim right on point!

Rastar comes running in swinging - slamming the blade into the cultist who reels from the blow and is clearly in dire trouble.
Rastar also gets caught in the edge of the laser net...!
DC 15 Reflex or take 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Nadia maintains her vigil, but the two casters, decisively engaged in a melee, decide against trying to cast spells and be cut to ribbons.

I forgot J'Shun's Victory Cry for when Rastar took out the other plant. He gets back 7 stamina points. If J'Shun takes down the plant he is fighting his invigorating fusion activates and he gets the following benefits.

The chain saw'd rips through the plant, this time it falls in a messy tangled heap, unmoving.
