[SF] Fly Free or Die AP - GM Ewok

Game Master EwokBanshee

Gotta love summer time! Sounds great, thanks Guess?!

by the time i realized i was setting up a role playing exercise in a role playing game it was too late to stop the inception...

This.. may also describe the player

Have a great trip!

I'll be on a trip myself July 14 to 26. I'll still likely be posting during that time but maybe a bit less frequently and perhaps a bit more briefly.

I'm off on the trip so involvement will likely be reduced until the 26th.

Hope we don't lose Melissa in the meantime! ;-)

I'm back and should be resuming regular posting.

Woohoo! Welcome back!

This is my second favorite 1st round of combat with a big bad boss, right behind the finale of the Dead Suns AP. The author did a fabulous job setting it up and getting a solid amount of knock-out punches in one round without breaking any rules.

Third place goes to the minotaur in 1st edition's Confirmation PFS scenario.

I didn't think it was going to matter but Melissa is at full resolve by two read throughs.

Get ems don't use resolve till you get the good 6th level one, and then only when you get em the whole room.

Okay, so realtalk can Jaraduk stuff his remaining grenades into the cavity of the harvester and just light it up after they finish with pinky?

I'm more stunned that the harvester still isn't disabled after 13 successes. Is it just immune and we've been wasting our time?

(Also, that minotaur in Confirmation was way too rude)

Maybe 15 or 20 is the magic number?

Since this is a skill challenge embedded within a combat encounter, I'm guessing the answer is yes. That would fall under the guise of using equipment creatively to pass a skill check. It'd probably still need some kind of roll though.

Yes, no, and yes! (To whose questions? You'll never know.)

Good catch, Melissa. I thought you had taken a ten minute rest somewhere in there.

Maybe that's why she's trying to destroy the ocean!

As Akh feels the devastating effects of that spell, Guess? sends yet another bullet into an enemy's helmet. Though it only cracks the scales of Avarin's natural armor, you can see the irritation in the dragon's face grow. Melissa, whose HUD indicators are flashing just a little more than Del and Jaraduk's, keeps working on the harvester with focused precision. Her hacking is successful, increasing the stuttering motions as the Harvester's voracious hunger consumes the local fauna at a slightly slower pace.

Just checking. Guess?'s critical hit didn't penetrate Avarin's armor? Granted it might hit one of the mirror images instead...

Welp, I guess we have a pretty good idea of what Del's been busy with :)

Woooooo!!! Looks like a hefty chunk of work for you Del / Jessica! I'm curious to see how it will turn out!

This Fly Free or Die campaign might very well be the last 1E thing I play before moving over to 2E!

Work at the park. Involving chainsaws and blacktopping

"Why do you have a medical kit and a wound pack?

".. why DON"T you have a medical kit and a wound pack?

Whoops, my bad! That was just a quick narrative update and wasn't quite descriptive enough. I meant to pass on that Avarin has a lot of HP left, despite the really cool crit. BUT.. I did forget about the Mirror Images...

You really want a 1: 1d3 ⇒ 3 :( RIP that crit.

RIP sweet crit, we barely knew ye

Guess? sheds a tear bidding the crit a bittersweet farewell...

Things I keep meaning to purchase on Jaraduk but somehow keep getting away with forgetting (until now).

Guess? also has a couple mk 1 healing serums which he'll probably end up using soon...

Oh and perhaps we make use of Del's remove condition spell on Akh as well as mystic cure on Melissa and Jaraduk?

Jaraduk, yepp that's a creative idea. Give me a D20 roll and we'll see how it turns out. Also choose what type of grenade you're using, that will affect your chances.

Guess?, unfortunately you'd need Root Access to control the Harvester's arms. So the DC would be in the 40's. Possible, but unlikely. Thankfully the Harvester is looking pretty messed up at this point. Maybe a well placed grenade would be enough to take it over the edge.

Good point about the Remove Condition, that Stagger is brutal. Of course if Akh could roll over a 10 on the Fortitude save that would help.. ;) That effect will end the round after this one either way.

Phew, that was a close one! If y'all weren't so spread out, that could have gotten real rough.

This is an FYI that I'll be away in nature this weekend, Sat 8/19 and Sun 8/20. I'll return very late Sunday and likely won't post again until Monday 8/21.

I'll be going for shoulder surgery on Sunday so will likely be absent for a few days until I'm able to comfortably type again. Doc says I should be able to after a few days so we'll see!

Jaraduk, I like the way you think! I will also be away in nature this weekend! So no posts from me from Thursday to Saturday, with hopefully a late post on Sunday.

Guess?, best wishes as you heal up!

I love when the dice play along. It makes perfect sense that the act of feeling another sentients beings feelings would be painful to Guess? in a way he's never experienced before and just Tuesday/highly comforting for melissa.

I'm back and I can type again... But not too much. The realities of rehabilitation from shoulder surgery are beginning to dawn on me. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

=/

OOF, sorry Guess?! My sister had shoulder surgery and it was not a fun recovery. Take it easy!!

Also sorry about the sketchy posting this week. I'm on a business trip and completely underestimated my busyness.

I don't THINK the +5 target wants to believe you bonus from pathfinder made it over to starfinder. But I bet an order to take a vacation and a large bonus gets less scrutiny as the guy who's scrutinizing it runs out the door in a Hawaiian shirt

I'm rich!

...aaand I'm broke

For the rest of the gear on slide 6, I've grouped them into two categories.

One category are items that Strek and Melissa picked up. Assuming these items are already recorded onto Melissa and Strek's character sheets, can we delete these lines?

The other category are items to be sold off once we reach Absalom station. Does anyone want to take any of these pieces of equipment for their character to use?

GM Ewok, what is the credit value of the power cells and advanced emergency repair kits? And are the wavecutters sell-able? If not then perhaps we'll just move those to the "ship storage" category

Hoof in mouth disease. There is no cure.

I have create a separate profile for Jaraduk in powered armor to keep the separate stats straight. So far powered armor seems a little meh, but maybe when we shop I'll figure out how to make it more "wow".

Hoof in mouth disease. There is no cure.

Indeed :)

Adding up all the other stuff we have to sell off (except for the emergency repair kits):

122*3 = 366
143
138*2 = 276
49*2 = 98
11
122*3 = 366
233*3 + 33*2 = 765
220*3 = 660
210
Guess Profession (merchant): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 to sell Avarin timepiece at a higher price. 18,000 ok?
700*6 = 4200

Total: 25095 credits

Divided by 5 comes to this amount for each individual: 5019 creds

Are we okay to sell off all that stuff? I'm just looking ahead to see how much total creds we'll have for the shopping spree.

Ha, 30 is exactly right for 18,000! Yepp, that sounds right to me. Thanks for adding that up!

Jaraduk, hopefully the power armor works out well! Similar to grenades, it seems to be extremely powerful in certain situations or if you're built into it.

He has become a mechanical bull

=D

Well, trying to. Not succeeding at it so far.

Insert no quarters please :)

Some spicy credit totals. Now comes the question of what to buy... And whether it will just get accidentally obsoleted after the first encounter in the next book.

"Whats the optimism version of the clue by four and what item level is it?"

Oh, also if this is the end of the book, are there any level ups in the near future?

What is our individual total-total at this point? 5019 + slide 8 divided up (or not, it says individual)?

(seems like we're getting alot and I keep thinking I can't be right)

What is our individual total-total at this point? 5019 + slide 8 divided up (or not, it says individual)?

I think it starts from the EJ Elysian advance bullet and then down.

So it is: 3k + 450 + 1001 + 4k + 1k + 5k + 400 + 2.5k + 6.5k + the final 5019 =

28,870 credits total per individual character.
