Kolefo is level 7, but has not been run PBP recently. Will update before the game starts.

Edit... and, done (probably)!

Good to see you again, Roquefort. You played with my vanguard, Kneepuncher.

Awesome!

Did I say I'd audit him last night? Instead of passing out as soon as my son was asleep? Yeah... so I'm gonna audit him tonight.

I love the part where, during my Tuesday VTT game, the little one comes in and babbles into the microphone.

Alright, I am in fact lvl 8.2.

Day job: Profession (Video Personality) + Professional Clothing: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 1 = 31

Faction: Wayfinders
Day job Roll: -
Boons:

Enemy of the Devourer (Social): You gain a +2 bonus on any Culture, Diplomacy (gather information), or Mysticism check related to the Cult of the Devourer. Once per session, you can re-roll any one saving throw against an effect created by a follower of the Devourer.

Stain of the *** (Personal): You gain +2 divine bonus to influencing or negotiating with evil-aligned creatures (or +4 if this is demons). When another living creature takes bleed damage while within 15 feet of you, that creature must roll the damage dice twice and takes the higher damage result.

+ Plus slotless limited-use boon which allows me three times during my career do not get infamy for evil acts (but I'm still doing an act for which I would get it). I'm trying to avoid spoilers, so the clarifications are on request in a personal message.))

PS. If there are space battles here, I can add a ship of the Corpse Fleet to the piggy bank of gloom associated with my character.

Cool, looks like we are low-tier (soldier 8, envoy 8, operative 8, operative 7). Go ahead and post in Gameplay, I'll leave recruitment open until Monday and answer any briefing questions in-game. No Starship boons or encounters for this adventure.

Social: ???
Starship: ???
Slotless: Sharktopus companion, marked field agent, others

Positions of some invisible attackers are marked in red and green to show impassable areas. Please don't metagame and move around them to try to circumvent AoOs without some means of detecting where they are (e.g. Chivix's blindsense would work); I'm happy to keep them fully hidden, but it'll probably slow down gameplay, so gonna try the honor system first.

Buff-Bot is moving to join up with Xin. Not really sure where is an appropriate square for 'joining him in battle' so I suspect I'm walking straight into one and provoking. Please adjust my positioning as needed.

I have a electrostatic field that does 2d6 electricity against melee attackers, so I'll be a bit cavalier about wading into this one.

Also... that was a bunch of really good rolls against that dragon... I think that is the first time I've ever actually seen the inspired fusion bonus apply to something.

It was the first time I saw this fusion at all and I liked it! ))

Btw... electrostatic field! Thanks )

Yeah, not much I can do with two crits in the first round. So much for my big bad dragon.

Thanks for the heads up about electrostatic fields. The damage won't matter here, but the resistance and Blind-Fight bonus to AC sure will. Given the angle of the line and the size of the wall, I'm gonna say no passive cover for Buff-Bot this time.

Make that four crits, jeez. Whatever offerings you made to the dicebot you gotta clue me in because you all are rolling gangbusters.

I just realized that I didn't need to make a roll to confirm the crit. Another system .)

How do you want to handle miss chance rolls? Personally, I always assume that "n% chance to do xyz" means roll a d100 and on n or less, xyz occurs, so 50% miss chance would be on a 50 or less, I miss. I also know that some people go with high numbers are good for they who roll. I probably should have asked that earlier as well...

Also... I apparently never slotted boons.

Ally: Always Prepared
Faction: Improved Dataphiles
Personal: Devolved (Simian)
Social: Scoured Stars Memorial
Promotional: T-Shirt Reroll (Shillin' for Ghost Goblin Ale)

I don't think it matters as long as you state up front and are consistent. The default is "high is a success", so anything 21 and over for a 20% miss chance would be a success, unless otherwise specified.

This is what I use.

Does anyone have any healing abilities? Or do I need to have Chivix drink some of his serums?

Ah crap, that's what I forgot. I'm down to 1 healing serum. It's yours if you need it.

The word you used is a derogatory term in the United States for Spanish-speakers. Maybe filter could have made an exception for that specific term.

Ahhh ok, gotcha - one of those regional differences :)

Kōlēfō may be behaving a bit erratically during this encounter. 1-98 stuff.

Yeah... I would suspect that he would be. I have played that.

Roquefort isn't particularly twitchy about them, despite 1-98, he knows it takes far more than what is on offer here to bring him down.

FYI, I am leaving early Tuesday morning to fly to TX and drive back my parents' last load of stuff, so I likely won't be posting much at all on Tuesday, Wednesday, and maybe Thursday

Wow. For some reason, the forum showed me that there are no new messages in this game. I thought everything is 'frozen'. And on Friday I went on vacation and did not come here until today... Sorry for delay, I should have checked it anyway.

No prob, thanks for the heads up.

Crazy day today, might not get to post until tomorrow.

Traveling to Atlanta tomorrow for a gig, updates might be slow until Sunday or Monday.

Update coming tomorrow, today got away from me

Is there anything I could roll for my character to remember some of the things I the player know about the Runelords?

I don't know if the Runelords are available knowledge among Starfinders. I have no DCs or frames of reference in the scenario.

I’m almost done with my move, should be back to posting tomorrow.

At the end of this scenario, I will be purchasing a Skillful Sales boon for Kōlēfō.

Selling Lashunta Mind Mail I for 850 credits, Tactical Sword Cane for 50 and Ring of Resistance Mk 1 for 147 (total 1047 credits).

If you also want to put my purchases on the chronicle (they will be extensive; been saving for a while), I can get you that list as well.

Fame isn't a thing anymore, it's all using Achievement Points now. Sales look good, but players are supposed to track them on their own sheets now.

Fame is still spendable for now, even though we don't earn any (not that there's a lot to spend it on, since Kōlēfō has Year of the Scoured Stars). I also... let's say, wouldn't be surprised if there's no relationship between the amount we have unspent and the number of AcP we get in December.

Fair enough, I’ll mark it on the sheet. Is 1047 the total sale, or would it double?

That is the full amount I get. Original costs were 4250, 250 and 735.

Thank you!

My home Internet is out for the foreseeable future. I'll do my best to keep posting from my phone or the library, but things may be slow for a few days. Bot Kōlēfō as necessary please.

Will update tomorrow, too busy today

Hi, it's me, making my chronicle complicated again.

One of my other characters picked up the Claimant to Salvation boon from a game that ended on August 14. Not sure if that matters, since this was the season of blank chronicle sheets, or if it's too late to matter anyway.

Thank you for running this game for us, @GM Skeemo! I enjoyed it immensely, and it was great to get Chivix back into action again.

GM Skeemo, thank you very much! It was a great game. Rich and perfectly suited for my character. Thank you to all the players, I was glad to share this experience with you! See you soon!

What does this boon do?
