"The defective dome has not been kind to our target. First, let's observe it for entrances and structural frailties."
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Checking if any wall is about to collapse, or even if the ruined state of the place isn't just completely a disguise
GM Jhaeman |
A circuit of the building reveals the northern side is a massive window, but polarised so that you can't see inside. On the west side of the building, there's a loading dock leading to what looks like a brand new set of steel double-doors.
Zharis |
Zharis waits for Jin to scout for security issues. After he is done, she approaches the new steel double doors and examines them.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
She doesn't see anything bad, so she asks Jin
Safe to go in then?
Jin Goei |
"No external traps, unlike the Meltdown. The brand new doors will probably take us closer to the leader of this group - the half-destroyed ones are probably just a decoy. A good place to put cameras, traps or new recruits to watch over.” Jin ponders, chin on his hand.
“If we can get through the new doors, it would be ideal. Otherwise, the guests’ door it is.”
He drinks his revitilate and an adaptive serum.
Zharis |
Zharis tries the door.
Hani Makoa |
"That sounds like my cue. Let's see if I can get us in."

Xylian Xuuvats |
Xylian reloads his carbine, mind boggled by the durability and mobility of that strange plant.
Aid (Engineering): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Zharis |
Zharis stands back to see if Hani and Xylian working together can get through the doors.
GM Jhaeman |
At first, Hani thinks it'll be a snap--just splice a wire here and snip a wire there. But just when the lock should open, it doesn't--for some reason, this backwards Pact Worlds tech rotates their digital tumblers in Base-6! But Xylian remembers reading an old imported manual on AbadarCorp vault security, and spots the problem. The doors part.
A storage area is beyond. A layer of dust lines the floor along the walls, but the central area has been on walked enough to be less dusty.
Containers have been stacked in the north corners. Labels indicate these hold provisions, including food, water, and intoxicating beverages.
To the south, a warped double door of composite material leads deeper into the building.
Good teamwork on the door--that Aid Another was the difference between success and failure.
Zharis |
Zharis starts opening up a couple of boxes, focusing on the ones labeled provisions and food, and if they really are that, she helps herself to enough food to get her through a week, as well as some snacks for now.
GM Jhaeman |
The containers really are full of provisions--enough to feed a dozen humanoids for months. But they're definitely not standard fare, as the ingredient labels show they've been laced with sulphur and contain spices so strong they could burn a hole in one's mouth!
There are 30 bulk worth of provisions here, but they are designed for those with very unusual tastes.
Zharis |
Darn.
Zharis tastes some of the stuff, and while it is okay, it isn't really what she likes, so she closes it back up and takes a look at the next door, which seems a little warped.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Jin Goei |
"We will come back to collect all the spoils, once the enemy is destroyed. Probably with a vehicle." Jin suggests, watching Zharis snacking on the boxes. xD
He also listens in at the door.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Xylian Xuuvats |
Darn.
Zharis: Doesn't immediately find something to steal.
Zharis: Is sad."Hmm." Xylian sniffs at Jin's plans for the large amount of supplies. "A capital idea."

Ha ha. Well, you have a point. :)
Zharis |
Zharis tries the warped door.
Hani Makoa |
Hani wanders into the room.
He takes a moment to look at the labels of some of the provisions.
They seem repulsive to the simpler diet of most Telia.
He'll leave everything for now. If it can be sold, he'll be happy to reap some of the profits.
GM Jhaeman |
Zharis pushes open the warped door, revealing a room full of danger! Five Brass Dragon mercenaries are here, chatting noisily around a scorched bar and messy kitchen. They look up with surprise when the northern door opens and reach for weapons!
Two of the Brass Dragons (Black and White) are Sulis, while the other three (Gray, Blue, and Yellow) are Ifrits. If you want to know more about racial abilities, you can attempt a Life Sciences check as a free action on your turn.

Jin Goei |
Glad he got all those healing serums earlier, Jin enters the fray!
He moves inside the room with, having both sulis within his reach, activates his frenzied fighting and attacks black first!
Frenzied fighting rounds: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Enforcement-class capture pole vs. black's KAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Piercing damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13
Solid start. Too bad the d4 wasn't a 2 as well, for a combo
Zharis |
Zharis draws her tactical dueling sword while she moves/tumbles past one of the enemies in order to get out of Jin's way and hopefully divide the fire.
Tumble (threatened squares): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Double move.
Xylian Xuuvats |
Xylian also takes to a corner for cover, leaning out into the hallway to fire of a shot of supercooled ice at the only suli he can see. Alas, he can barely see even that one and the window to hit them is too narrow.
Overcharge Ice Carbine vs White: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
P + C Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (8) + (6) + 3 = 17
What a waste of two max damage rolls -_-
Cabizo |

Cabizo hesitates at the sight of the ifrits. Gulping, he steps behind Xylian and raises the pistol Zharis left in his care. Let's try both eyes, he thinks to himself in an effort to think cheerful thoughts. Both eyes shut sounds fine. For science.
Skipshot vs Black: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Piercing damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9 (Critical effect: Bleed 2)
Oh, the ID roll!

Awesome shot Cabizo!
GM Jhaeman |
Jin and Zharis take the lead, charging into the fray against the Brass Dragons. Xylian shoots a super-cooled block of ice that smashes into a table, narrowly missing one of the Sulis.
Cabizo sends a wild shot into the room--the slug bounces off the wall, ricochets off a chair, bounces between Jin's legs, and then deep into the thigh of one of the Sulis, nicking her femoral artery!
Jin and Xylian missed, and Zharis succeeds in tumbling without provoking an AoO. Cabizo does what Cabizo does!

The three ifrits grab laser rifles off the table and start firing lethal blasts! Jin ducks in time, but Zharis gets scorched!
One is firing at Jin and two are firing at Zharis (who will get soft cover from Gray, but the ifrit has a special ability to reduce the cover bonus somewhat). All three are using a special 1/day ability to roll their attack rolls twice and take the better.
Zharis, you take 6 F and 5 F.
Blue Attack # 1 vs Zharis EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Blue Attack # 2 vs Zharis EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Zharis damage # 2: 1d8 ⇒ 5
GM Jhaeman |
Bleeding from Cabizo's crazy ricochet shot, one of the sulis draws a longsword and slashes at Jin, while the other opens fire on Hani, shouting something in a foreign tongue!
Jin, you take 5 S. Hani, you take 3 P.
I assume no one in the group speaks Ignan, but if you do, I'll translate.
longsword vs Jin KAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
autotarget rifle vs Hani KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Hani Makoa |
Hani has shapechanged into a shirren!
Dang it. I always do that at least once in each adventure!
Hani looks toward the enemies speaking Ignan.
He understands every word they're saying.
Being the scholarly type, Hani speaks several languages, Ignan among them. I have it on my old-fashioned paper character sheet, and I'll make sure they're added here.
Jin Goei |
Jin full attacks the black suli in front of him!
Enforcement-class capture pole vs. black's KAC: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 4 = 21
Piercing damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13
Enforcement-class capture pole vs. black's KAC: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 4 = 19
Piercing damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13
What's with that damage...
He also takes the opportunity to attack the white suli!
Enforcement-class capture pole vs. white's KAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Piercing damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17
Round 2 of 3 of frenzied fighting.
Zharis |
Zharis takes a frag grenade from her bandolier, sets it to go off, and tosses it into the midst of the Ifrits.
Targeting the space south of yellow (15 foot radius from there)
Throw Grenade: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
The grenade hits where she was aiming and goes off.

Jin's capture pole is a whirling nightmare, crushing one of the sulis into submission and then severely wounding the other! Shrapnel then fills the old kitchen, injuring the ifrits--but they show no sign of backing down!
Jin's first attacked dropped Black, so I applied the second attack (which hit) to White. The AoO *just* missed, however. For the grenade, Gray made the save for half damage but the other two take full damage.
Xylian and Cabizo are up.
Reflex save (Gray): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Reflex save (Blue): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Reflex save (Yellow): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Cabizo |
Cabizo opens his eyes in wonder as the sound of ricocheting metal fills the room, then opens them even more when the bullet somehow bounces into the guard’s leg. After Jin knocks that one down, the skittermander turns his attention to the other guard at the doorway. To clear a path for the others to get in there, he reasons to himself. Yep, that’s totally why I’m not looking at the ifrits…
Skipshot Pistol vs White: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Piercing damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Xylian Xuuvats |
Having to shoot past Hani's shell, Xylian has no hope of hitting the enemy.
Ice Carbine: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
P + C Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + (3) + 3 = 7
Move action Combat Tracking white; standard action to Overcharge and shoot.
GM Jhaeman |
The intense, close-quarters firefight rages on! One of the ifrits dodges attacks from Cabizo and Xylian and then rushes forward, palm outstretched--a gout of flame pours forth, enveloping Jin and Hani! Another rushes to guard the elevator doors, sending laser blasts all over the place!
Gray is moving up and doing overheat (not worrying about an AoO since Jin's already taken his this round). Jin and Hani, you take 6 F (DC 10 Reflex save for half).
Yellow shoots at Jin and Blue shoots at Zharis. Both hit. Jin, you take 4 F. Zharis, you take 6 F.
Overheat damage: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6
Yellow vs Jin EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Blue vs Zharis EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Jin Goei |
Due to the adaptive serum Jin imbibed earlier, he gains Fire Resistance 5 when attacked by the overheat.
Reflex save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
He suffers 1 from the spell and 0 from the weapon.
"For an hour after you consume an adaptive serum, the first time you take energy damage, you gain resistance against that type of damage for that attack and for the remainder of the hour or until you rest 10 minutes to regain Stamina Points, whichever comes first."
Hani Makoa |
reflex save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Hani steps up and strikes the enemy next to him (white) with his battleglove.
to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
damage, B: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Zharis |
Zharis walks forward and thrusts her sword at Blue.
Attack (Tactical Dueling Sword): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage (Slashing): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
