[SF] Fly Free or Die AP - GM Ewok

Game Master EwokBanshee

Really? CR1?? Seems not even worth putting them in the scenario. Unless they serve as some kind of critical plot device... hmmmmmmmm.....

Technically enough APL-3 foes should add up to a decent fight, but CR1 and lower foes are just too wimpy. I'm very puzzled how they decided to attack us too. Looking forward to learning why.

Well, the party does carry around a lot of obvious weapons and stuff and looks more like "Stooges hired by the lizards oppressors" than " we play gigs in bad areas" band. The place is probably bugged too (with apologies to our Formian musician)

So i'd put credits on either a real freedom fighter group protecting him as an honored member of their community or Radical Weydonite whackjobs hired these guys to make him look more guilty.

Level 3 in starfinder is a huge bump in terms of power. Specilization kicks on, and almost doubles a low level partys damage.

Yeah, they are definitely worthwhile to the AP for a few reasons. But I'm surprised they weren't CR 2.

Fort save: deadly toxin, we got this!
Reflex save: Lightning bolt, BRING IT!

Profession lawyer check

We.are.so.So. HOSED

lol don't worry, that check is very optional. It's just the GM adding more fuel to the fire.

Speaking of your GM, I will be heading on vacation next week! So for Saturday June 25 through Saturday July 2nd I will be minimally posting. My goal is to post a few times, but I'll be fairly off the internet for that period.

Have a great break!!

Now has the mental image of the diplomacy check failing, waking up the next android and trying the speech again. take 2 everybody! places...

That would have been fantastic. It's amazing how fast a RPG can devolve into a sitcom.

sadly, being eaten by a giant clam is the second most frustrating experience with customer service this week.

Website: your medication has been delivered

Hey, it says there was a delivery but I don't see anything.

Oh, you're getting a delivery next week

Grumble...

Today ie, next week.

Call 3 times to actually get a live person.

"Oh, we texted your phone and you didn't answer so it probably didn't go out.

"Yeah. thats what happens when you text a lanline of someone that doesn't OWn a cel phone...

"Yes but you don't have a cel phone so we couldn't communicate...

"...you mean like we're doing now? Landline, email? Stick your head out the window and yell I can PROBABLY hear you...

Sounds like you need Bullseye Shipping to deliver the meds!!

I think using Bullseye Shipping is actually what went wrong...

"who gave the uplifted bears back medicine to the goblin?

"wheeee I can see desdna in my phalanges orchestrating the existentialism of the universe! ....

I'm out camping this weekend, and unfortunately don't have reliable data at the site. I'll be back on Monday. Please bot me if needed before then.

Hey, y'all, I just got called on an emergency business trip overseas (hooray). SO, unfortunately, my posts for the next two weeks are going to be sparse again. :(. I hate to do that three weeks in a row, but... what's a guy to do. I will be in service several times a day at least, just uber busy and posting at weird times.

No worries. Hope the trip is fun.

Totally understand. Hope the trip goes well!!

Sorry been busy with family these last few days, then errands today, and tomorrow I'm GMing March of the Dead in celebration of 4th of July!

Sounds fun! This group of adventurers would definitely be more comedic than epic-adventure in their movie. Love the quips!

Tailhanging was one of the few banned moves in the Norveg wrestling league.

Sorry for my continued (continuous?) spotty posting. Busy week again.

I'm a bit surprised at how long it took to get to our first ship combat encounter.

Yeah, I was really surprised there wasn't one in the first book. (Well, there was one as an option but it would have to be forced to really happen.) Even a semi-fake one like in the first AP of Dead Suns. And with this one being optional, you could make it to the third book without ever breaking out the Starship rules!

No worries, Del! Real life comes first. Speaking of, I'm going camping this weekend! So I don't think I'll be posting Thursday through Sunday.

Also, great job with the roleplaying while working out the group decision! You've done that a few times throughout the AP and its gotten smoother and more natural each time. It's quite a bit more fun than me just calling for a vote. This AP certainly likes to put the crew into tough situations, and this crew has the personalities to keep the discussion moving.

The Wintermourne must be moving at the speed of Plot. You can't engage your Drift Engine during combat. It takes something like 10 minutes.

Yeah... I counted five rules violating/ignoring plot-driven things on this one page of the AP. They really wanted to test your relationship with the Wintermourne while still making the combat optional.

And with our crew often split 3-3, we're essentially just testing these relationships with flips of a coin, Lol =P

Keeps feeding GUMBI bribes

yeah, I do love the times when the group is split or, even better, when something tips the group 4 - 2.

Poor Guess?. I think he's forever on the losing end of split decisions. But hey, a goblin doesn't get to where he is on his own or by dwelling on the past - gotta keep rolling forward as a team!

We can all agree that the Wintermourne skedaddling mid-combat is a jerk move though, right? :)

chitter chitter squeek chitter chittering chitter squeek chitter squeeek!

Sometimes I know what Melissa is saying when she chitters and sometimes she doesn't tell me.

Good thing Guess? has such rubbery skin! Things just bounce off him!

As for the Wintermourn... those of you familiar with starships would know that the ship was seriously outclassed in this fight. It likely would have died if you hadn't intervened. However... it also could have stayed to help you fight.

lol :/

*twiddles thumbs and doesn't say anything*

she unplugs her sparking extenstion cord, vanishes over jarducks head, then reaches down for a second and guides his head just a little to the left to try to straighten out his shots.

Gunnery, Damage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

I love when the polyhedral gods get in on the roleplay

"bikini" is probably a foreign concept to melissa for a number of reasons but if you're going to model skin tight armor you better spend more than 8 minutes on those abs.

As a heads up, I'm traveling starting tomorrow and going through until Aug 17th. I should be able to post on and off during that time, but feel free to bot me if it would hold things up.

we were left unsupervised for a few days and we're already on canibalism.

Lord of the flies was optimistic if anything...

It's only cannibalism when it's same species, right?

*chinstroke*

I expect every PC group to arrive at cannibalism at some point throughout an AP. Oddly enough, it was Book 2 for our Dead Suns group too...

Alright, I am back home for the foreseeable future so expect some more stability in my posts!

Not sure if it came through but I was trying to make Guess? (and goblins in general) sound flippant about eating other species.

Maybe I remember wrong but I believe it is canon somewhere that goblins eat a lot of the other playable races. Or maybe that was Pathfinder...

There was a post a while back where I think Guess? said something about enjoying eating all species but that he would never eat fellow crew. Bad for teamwork and morale or something along those lines.... Hehehe

Of course that doesn't stop him from joking or implying that he would because he's cheeky that way... Kekeke

"We be goblins you be food" Was the introduction of goblins...

And i doubt they've had a whole lot of personal growth since the gap.

And when we run out of food don't blame me if the crew doesn't shower for a month and melissa finds something to roll around in even the goblin won't eat (if we can even FIND anything that fits that description..)

It's only cannibalism when it's same species, right?

*chinstroke*

Jaraduk distinguishes himself from the mindless, quadruped bovine :)

In case you're wondering, Akh would definitely deeply regret eating any of you. I'll also note that he doesn't have a functional digestive system, so you would probably be fine. ;)

I think now is probably a good time to take stock of:

*Gulp* Paperwork?!?

;-)​

Unfortunately... the only loot in that entire section, since you left the ranch, was on Agavana's person. So I think Slide 3 is accurate. There's a few things on there you should sell or distribute but it will be a short list.

I just added the 5 BP to Slide 3 as well. I think that's accurate as well, you have quite a few. Make sure to keep some for down payments on cargo.

I replaced the Ship Slide with an update including Del's 4 ranks of Piloting. That Ship Build utilizes 95/95 Build Points, and 137/150 PCUs.

I'm removing the "9 + 20 + 3 + 17 -1+1 +5 build points" (which equals 54 Build Points) from the Slide for discussion here.

How many of those would people like to keep on hand for cargo, and how many would we like to upgrade the ship with? If we want to Upgrade our Ship from Tier 3 to Tier 4, we need 20 Build Points. If we want to Upgrade to Tier 5, we need 40.

At this point y'all are expert cargo haulers, which is why you're getting all these tough jobs. So your expertise would tell you that you wouldn't need more than 10 BP saved up as a down payment for future cargo.

So up to Tier 5 we go? Could I put in a good word for new weapons?

:/

Perform better and get saddled with more tricky and unpleasant work... its like we never left the corporate grind.

Seconded!

I collected stats from all of the other Tier 5 ships for comparison. We have 40 BPs and 13 PCUs to play with (although see Power Core below).

Armor/Defenses:
We have Mk1 armor and Mk1 defenses. Not a single Tier 5 ship goes that low, so we should probably upgrade ours. One ship has Mk6, and another has Mk2, but the majority vary between Mk3-Mk5.
