Tik continues to go after the red ooze, trying to take it out of the fight.

Stealth check for trick attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
Laser pistol vs. flatfooted EAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Damage, including trick attack: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Jyskos puts his pistol away (move action), grabs his sword out (move action) then yells at the Oozes.

"Come over here you Sonic Loving Peasants!"

Darkvoid slides up and shoots at red.
acrobatics to trick: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
vs KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage(E): 1d6 ⇒ 6
trick damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
"Aboreal fall back, we this mess is bad enough without us loosing someone!"

After getting his clock cleaned by the ooze's appendage, Inovu takes on a more defensive position and attempts to knife the enemy once again.

Move action Not In The Face (+4 AC vs. Green, Will DC 13 negates), Standard action to attack.

Survival Knife with Flanking: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5
Slashing Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Green: -12, Red: -15, Yellow: 0, Blue: 0

T| hits Red but Darkvoid misses
Inovu also misses.

Green: -12, Red: -15, Yellow: 0, Blue: 0

T| hits Red but Darkvoid misses
Inovu also misses.

Doah, my pistol is against EAC and I miss labeled the die roll. Would that hit if the trick was successful?

"They have me surrounded, but I'll try and reduce some of the heat on me!"

One attack at Green with flank and then guarded step diagonally southwest.

Entropic Strike vs Green's EAC: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 27

Acid Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Well, no crit cause ooze immunities but hopefully that's enough.

Even without the crit - since I believe oozes are immune to crits - that is enough to pop Green. Arboreal gets slimed as it collapses while singing 'Daisy'.

((Sorry Darkvoid - still doesn't hit))

Red goes for Inovu

pseudopod: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 sonic: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Zamba is up.

Takes a step forward, shakes her head, and loading her Liquidator Caustoject with her only other healing serum, tries to keep Arboreal up.

Healing: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Poor Aboreal is still getting wailed on by the slimes while they sing Hit me with your rythm stick, hit me, hit me, hit me slowly, hit me quick, hit me with your rythm stick

pseudopod: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 sonic: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 blue
pseudopod: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 sonic: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 yellow

Everyone but Zamba is up

Sound track

Darkvoid tumbles around red again!
acrobatics to trick red: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
vs EAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage(e): 1d6 ⇒ 5
trick damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

"Take that you heinously harmonious hi-fi halfwit!"

Red gets destroyed.

With the annihilation of his two possible targets, T| hustles up to where he can target one if Arboreal moves.

"Okay then jelly-thing, let's dance!"

Arboreal takes another swing and then another step back, trying to safely kite the oozes closer to the rest of the group.

Attack vs Blue's EAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Acid damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Yellow: 0, Blue: -5

"Blimey, these buggers hit hard for blokes without bones," Inovu grumbles, stepping away from the threat while pulling out his healing syringe.

Move action to move, Standard action to draw mk 1 serum of healing.

Jyskos will move forward into being the meat shield and trick attack.

Full Action Trick Attack vs Blue

Bluff Check vs CR: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

I think Blue is flat-footed.

Jyskos bluffs Blue, then goes to shank it with his Sword Cane.

Tactical Sword Cane vs Flat-Footed Blue KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

If it hits:
Piercing Damage: 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + (1) = 2

Blue takes more damage (-7) and with Red gone, Zamba is up.

Zamba looks at what's going, moves up, and attempts to help get blue down by lowering its defenses.

Called Liquidator Caustoject: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 vs. EAC (plus cover)
Acid Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

If that is a hit that deals damage -

Basic Inhibitor: Target (blue) takes a –2 penalty to AC.

Yellow: 0, Blue: -10; -2AC

Now it's Jyskos who is getting whallopped as if he was a drum-kit.

pseudopod: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 sonic: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 blue
pseudopod: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 sonic: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 yellow

Everyone, including Zamba, is up.

That -2 AC lasts 6 rounds. Also, not called - forgot to take that off when I was copying the text for the shot.

Seeing that it worked on blue, ZeeZee is going to try the same on yellow. Pointing her at it, she shoots, hoping to knock its defenses down as well. She looks at what's going, moves up, and attempts to help get blue down by lowering its defenses.

Liquidator Caustoject: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 vs. EAC
Acid Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

If that is a hit that deals damage -

Basic Inhibitor: Target (yellow) takes a –2 penalty to AC for 6 rounds.

"Just a moment, lad!" Inovu calls to Jyskos, as he injects himself with the healing serum and prepares to re-enter the fray.

Standard action to use mk 1 serum of healing, Move action to move.

Healing: 1d8 ⇒ 5

T| looks exasperated as his firing lanes fill up with party members, and tries a shot anyway. He misses.

Stealth check for trick attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Laser attack vs. yellow, including cover penalty: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 4 = 6

Zamba manages to hit yellow with the same inhibitor.

Jyskos gets socked in the face. But will Trick Attack Blue again.

Full Action Trick Attack vs Blue

Bluff Check vs Blue CR: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Blue isn't flat-footed this time!

Jyskos fails to bluff Blue, but will attempt to go and shank it with his Sword Cane anyway.

Tactical Sword Cane vs Blue KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

If it hits:
Piercing Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

It misses.

Waiting on Darkvoid.

Arboreal runs back slightly, drawing their pistol and attempts to shoot around the building at Blue.

Tactical Semi-auto vs Blue's KAC: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 4 = 19

Piercing damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

It misses.

Waiting on Darkvoid.

Yellow: -9, -2AC; Blue: -15, -2AC

Jykos starts to feel like he's in a rather over-enthusiastic mosh pit.
pseudopod: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 sonic: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 blue
pseudopod: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 sonic: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 yellow
crit: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Everyone is up.

Darkvoid takes another shot at yellow before tumbling out of the way.
acro to trick: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
vs EAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
damage(E): 1d6 ⇒ 5
trick damaage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

"Back, you foul cretin!" Inovu shouts, weaving his knife into the ooze while keeping his face away from the fray.

Move action Not In The Face (+4 AC vs. Yellow, Will DC 13 negates), Standard action to attack.

Survival Knife: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
Slashing Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Yellow is destroyed.

Jyskos takes two hits to the face and decides that being unconscious on the floor is the best option right now.

Spend 1 RP to Stabilise.

Arboreal fires off a shot over Jyskos' unconscious body. "Don't worry Jyskos, I'll save you!"

Semi-auto vs Blue's KAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

And that is enough to destroy Blue.

=== Combat Over ===

A ten minute rest is easily obtained. As you look around, you can easily deduce what happened—a nearby music store has broken windows and a powered-down electronic enclosure inside.

Once rested, you resume your journey to the Lorespire, taking the more direct route. Soon, you reach Drifter's End, the familiar neighberhood near the Lorespire.

The sprawling streets and corridors of Drifter’s End are barren without the blaze of neon signs and bustle of pedestrians. The streets are nearly empty, and most windows of shops, bars, and apartment housing units have been quickly boarded up with plywood or sheets of corrugated metal. A pregnant silence hovers over the stricken neighbourhood, as though the Station itself holds its breath in anticipation.

Flickers of peripheral movement attract attention as dozens of spindly machines emerge like hornets from a disturbed nest. The black and silver bots crawl out of grates, explode through doorways and hatches, and tumble out of alleyways to form a writhing mass in the middle of the street. The crowd collectively snaps to attention and scuttles away, as though bound for a singular destination.

"Could these be the rogue assets mentioned at the security center?"

"Whatever they are, we'd better follow them. This is the first sign of coordinated action we've seen." Suiting action to words, the ysoki draws laser pistol and club while moving in pursuit.

Jyskos is still unconscious but assumes his fellow Starfinder rifle through his backpack and find the Mk 1 Serum of Healing.

Mk 1 Serum of Healing: 1d8 ⇒ 8

And would like to take 10 mins to regain Stamina and then he is willing to move on.

Jyskos follows T|'s move, draws the Sword Cane and the Pistol and moves towards them as well.

ZeeZee would have done so for Jyskos, making sure to patch him up as best she could.

She takes her 10 minute rest to reset her microlab, and then follows the rest of the group.

"I agree, they seem to be more cognizant of what they are doing, and not as chaotic as the others we've encountered."
She then pulls out her caustojet, and follows behind Jyskos.

As soon as they notice you following, the trailing six stop, then group into a wall formation as if to say "You shall not pass". The rest keep going in a line.

Initiatives:
red: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
orange: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
yellow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
green: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
blue: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
purple: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

zamba: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
jykos: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
T|: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
darkvoid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
arboreal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
inovu: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Order: Jykos, Zamba, Arboreal, Orange, Purple, Inovu, Darkvoid, Yellow, T|, Red, Blue, Green

Jykos, Zamba, and Arboreal are up first.

Jyskos moves 30ft to hide behind a bench, and will Trick Attack with the Sonic Pistol.

Bluff Check vs Green CR: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

Green is Bluffed unless it's CR12

Jyskos pulls some fancy bluff movements and fires his pistol.

Diffraction Perforator Pistol (3rd Range Increment) vs Flat-Footed Green EAC: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 4 = 13

If Hit:
Sonic Damage + Trick Attack Damage: 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + (4) = 7

Green is completely blown away.

"WHAT are these things?!?" Zamba will try to identify the creatures. Move action to identify with her microlab.

Physical Science: 20 + 7 = 27

Then Zamba moves a little closer to them.

Arboreal would have spent 10 min resting and used one of their mk 1 serums of healing to get above 4 HP. They also take that time to reload their pistol.

Healing Serum: 1d8 ⇒ 5

....

"Let me know when you find out, ZeeZee. But in the meantime, I'm going to see if we can't clear a bit of a path!"

Move 30ft and draw semi-auto then fire it at Purple bot there.

Tactical Semi-auto vs Purple's KAC: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 2 = 8

Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Zamba isn't sure exactly what they're called but they are certainly constructs with standard construct traits.

Both Purple and Orange let loose with their eye beams (120ft line, fire&electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 3 DC 9 ref for half)

Purple's line goes through Zamba and T| while Orange's line goes through Zamba and Inovu.

Inovu and Darkvoid are up.

Darkvoid runs up and takes a diving role, when he pops to his feat he takes a shot at purple.
acrobatics to trick: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
vs EAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Damage(e): 1d6 ⇒ 6
trick damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

crit Damage(e): 1d6 ⇒ 1
crit trick damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Blue also takes 2.

DC 9 Reflex save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

T| dives out of the way of the line of plasma, taking no damage (if, that is, evasion applies here).

DC 9 Reflex vs. Purple: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
DC 9 Reflex vs. Orange: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

"OWW! That hurt! ZeeZee calls out as both rays singe her skin.

She then looks at Orange, seeing if she can make it easier to hit, since Purple looks like it's waning.

Called Liquidator Caustoject: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 vs. EAC
Acid Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

If that is a hit that deals damage -

Basic Inhibitor: Target (Orange) takes a –2 penalty to AC.

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

”Right behind you, old chap!” Inovu cries to Arboreal, fumbling for his own revolver as her follows the plant-folk towards the southern walkway.

Move action to move 1 square to Arboreal’s right, Standard action to draw weapon (my BAB is not yet high enough to do both at once).

Would someone be able to move my token for me? My internet is down so my laptop won’t work, and I can’t seem to get it to work from my phone.

Purple: -10, Blue: -2

Yellow moves and managfes to get a line which means it's eyebeam goes through Zamba, Darkvoid and Jykos.
(120ft line, fire&electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 5 DC 9 ref for half)

T| is up.

((Inovu moved - hopefully to the right place))
