[SF] Fly Free or Die AP - GM Ewok

Game Master EwokBanshee

Melissa and Strek pop the lock on the drawer, exposing the valuable contents. Guess? quickly secrets them away in the team stash, before Del eyes her sister's belongings. Anybody want the Cylindrical Lens pistol? It's pretty sweet!

Torren's circuits begin to dim their light and their voice goes back to the typical android emotionlessness. "Alright, I'll come with you. But I'm calling the Plate security team after we get out of here." They take the first aid kit and syringe from Melissa, listening intently. You barely hear their voice as you turn towards the hallway. "I don't know how to use this." They shake the kit gently. Urged on by your arguments and the sweet sounds of Android Abolitionist, the android lines up behind you. Torren makes eye contact with Akh and Jaraduk and nods grimly. "First we escape. Then a new life. For all of us." Using the datapad you unlock the door ahead.

A simple hallway greets you, white walls and metal floors without decoration. All of the surfaces are completely spotless. You head right at the first intersection, your large (hehehe) group taking up a lot of space. Jaraduk opens the first door, practically spilling in. Just as shown in the video camera feed, it is an empty training room. This gathering space must have been used for training vids and staff briefings and contains many chairs facing a large screen and podium.

When you investigate the podium you find a vid player loaded with several informational programs. One of these, narrated by Exec-4 Reisora, is a brief summary of Project Oliphaunt and the potential for widespread null-space technology. In the vid, Reisora explains that Project Oliphaunt was originally sponsored by followers of the Prophecies of Kalistrade seeking a way to protect the golden commerce barges, which are manufactured on the orbital plate, from pirates. “But the best way to avoid piracy,” she says, “is to never attract the attention of pirates in the first place. Project Oliphaunt puts all the cargo of a bulk cruiser into a small, fast, unobtrusive transport. To pirates, the Oliphaunt is just another starship among countless others. But that’s only how we began this project; now that we’ve made a breakthrough, we’ve set our sights much, much higher.” There’s no additional information about Project Oliphaunt on any of the other vids.

Jaraduk opens the next door on that end of the hallway. It opens up onto a long, narrow room that contains a large metal table and eight rolling leather chairs. In one corner, a small bar counter containing a variety of liquid dispensers sits ready for occupants. Much to your delight, the dispensable liquids include several exotic and alcoholic beverages. To those more strategically minded, you notice another door that opens up onto the far hallway.

Alright... Any thoughts on those rooms? Where to next?

Melissa is used to working in cramped quarters, and sidesteps from a gap in Anks coils to Dels back foot and right as it becomes her front foot, her tail ryhtmically tapping the knees and ankles of her taller compatriots so they know where she is without looking.

"How much do you remember from when you were.. uh..you know bzzted? Who was that on the intercom telling you to retreat and not call O.P.S.? " One of your brothers or is someone else skipping the party?" she hmms.... "Alright, if you don't know how I'll try that as plan B keep the potion ready for plan C. How you got away with not having employee first aid training I have NO idea..." as if that ranked on their list of employee violations...

I think del is the only pistol user in the party. Unweildy isn't bad if you don't want to fire twice anyway.

Ooh! Drinks! I think we've earned it.

He looks for a glass and dispenses a full glass. Setting his heavy canon down on the long table he sits down to enjoy it.

"very. very. New.... "

Akh squirms as Melissa taps the ticklish parts of his coils. A low creaking noise slips from his open maw as he tries to stay quiet enough that the other guards don't immediately raise the alarm.

He only glances at the informational vid about the hologram before scooping up a class of pink lemonade and stashing the whole thing inside his mouth. "Jaraduk, no time for relaxing. We have to slip out of here before they find us, knock us out, and string us up on the exterior of the Plate's hull. Or worse, force us to sit through another EJ corporate safety training video."

He quietly cracks the northwestern door open and peeks out to see if the guard roomba is armed.

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

The Nuar grunts.

Yeah, okay. This room just feels so...inviting.

He picks his heavy canon back up, but keeps the drink in his hand.

Torren, the android security guard looks at Melissa with wide eyes. "The voice, that was Monitor 77B. I know us androids get a bad rap for our misunderstanding of the typical emotional spectrum but... anacites are something else." They shake their arms, hands loose. "A cruel boss, they use their chameleon circuit to spy on us at any time. You never know when they're watching." Torren slowly swivels their head, eyes squinting. "Monitor could be here right now... but then we'd be dead." They smile grimly. "I think I remember most things from before, though its fuzzy. The administrator is a tough boss, even worse than Exec-4 Reisora."

At the north end of the room, Akh pops open the door. He sees the circular anacite vacuum cleaner's low form slowly traveling along the floor. It seems to wander around randomly, turning at different angles when encountering a wall. The front of the anacite holds a pair of spinning brushes that vacuum up dry dirt and the back has a mopping function. Akh is confident it is not armed. Want to continue in that direction, towards Room 1? Or backwards towards Room 2, 3, or 4?

We seem to be going right hand rule so room 1

"Just be careful how much you gripe about Miss Reisora around.... Wait I thought Miss Reisora was Exec 3? Or did she get demoted at some point. Or did you mean OUR exec 4 Miss Reisora? Yeah she's a real s..task master. "

Be sure to give the rooms an extra once over with her sniffer (blindsense scent)

Delete the video now and make sure the cameras stay off. I don't know if the guy can work with computers but.. I mean he IS a computer maybe there's professional courtesy or something. If he blocks our Wi Fi the less thats on tape the better.

Pay more attention to the datapad in her hand, and it goes in the cheekpouch when she doesnt need it.

Is it possible to open a door, get a rhoomba to start cleaning the inside, then trap a roomba in there by shuttng the door, or do they just stay in the hallway?

Earlier...

Guess? also dispenses a glass, clinks his with Jaraduk's and downs it.

If the alcohol in the room is of higher quality than the rum in his canteen, Guess? will drink as much of his rum as he can without getting sick, offers the rest to others and if there are no takers, Guess? dumps his rum down the drain.

Guess? then fills his canteen to the brim with the far, far superior intoxicant available in this room. Incidentally, if there are any bottles of good alcohol in this room, Guess? will snag those too!

Guess? grumbles to himself, "Mental note: Before breaking into other high security corporate areas, purchase more empty beverage containers in case of expensive alcoholic drink dispensers..."

In case a Fort check is needed: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

---------------

Currently...

"Or did you mean OUR exec 4 Miss Reisora? Yeah she's a real s..task master. "

Guess? is currently too busy drinking free, exotic alcohol to hear any potential slights...

;-D

But when they enter a new room, he'll also search around:
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Strek keeps his single-leg form and hops along behind the group, holding his weapon in two hands and leaving his "third" hand stretched out and free to manipulate door controls (and press ANY keys).

"I ain't using the warm setting on tha Roombas. Just FYI."

"Wait I thought Miss Reisora was Exec 3?"

Ah, you caught me! You're totally right.

Torren the android looks down uncomfortable. "Well, to be honest, she asked us to start calling her Exec-4; she was that confident in an upcoming promotion. Probably related to the Oliphaunt, I suppose." The ex-security guard seems relieved by Melissa's sniffer, muttering about Monitor 77B.

Over at the beverage dispenser, Guess? is quite impressed by the selection. The note attached to the alcohol spigot Triaxian gin, Executive staff only only entices the goblin more. It's a Superior Intoxicant, like what you have. But it's probably more rare.

You head to the next room, the small vacuum ignoring you on the other end of the hallway. Between Strek's hopping, Guess?'s soon-to-be-stumbling, and Melissa scurrying between the feet of the larger team members you make quite the sight. Jaraduk slides the door open to reveal a small desk sits in the middle of this medium-sized room. On the wall behind it is a large painting depicting a typical EJ cargo ship entering the Drift. The desk itself is tidy, with a single photo depicting a happy couple at the beach. According to the nameplate on the door, the office is used by the lead scientist on Project Oliphaunt. A quick search of the desk reveals an obsidian ring of resistance mk 1 with the inscription “Always & Forever.” Who wants it? Pretty good at this level. Maybe roll off for it?

You move into the next room, noticing that the anacite vacuum has finished cleaning whatever mess was taking up it's attention. It has now started slowly moving it's way in your direction. Thankfully it works slowly, you probably have a full minute before it makes it to the opening where the hallways join. Jaraduk opens the next door. This large room holds several tables and chairs, vending machines, a cold water dispenser, and various cooking devices. A classic corporate break room, the cabinets store cups, powdered drinks, and sugars, as well as mundane cleaning supplies. You find a mk 2 culinary synthesizer and a self-heating pot on the counter. A quick search reveals 2 ultra-capacity batteries in a drawer. Do you want to do a longer, more in depth search? of the room or move on?

You look at the security cameras through Melissa's datapad. The anacite vacuums continue their work while the pair of android security guards are still standing at their posts in the hallway right outside the door of the room you are in. Locations on the map are correct.

Strek inspects the culinary synthesizer and lets out a low whistle.

"Limited Edition AbadarCorp Gold Standard model. Only thing programmed to do more is the Platinum Standard. Hey, Del, ya ain't going to be missing Cheffy for much longer."

Strek would like to loot it, but he's at his carrying capacity right now.. Anyone else? It's 1 Bulk

Happy to carry it.

Akh notices how Strek is eyeing the new autochef and nods knowingly "To graduate from slightly lukewarm porridge will be a comfort. Perhaps they'll let us take him with us into prison when Plate security or EJ's enforcers catch up with us. That would be nice." He hefts the synthesizer up and tosses it into his mouth. "Fingers crossed for no large cavity searches."

I'm good with just a quick search - not sure if we're on a timer here, but I'm inclined to squeeze out the north side and take out our remaining two guards before they come investigating.

"Wow, you guys are complaining about Goop? At least you didn't get glop. Turns out its 12 cents cheaper by the crate because its missing a few vitamins ysoki need to not go nightblind. she tap taps the safety glasses on her helmet Its also got more texture. Some Exec probably got a million dollar bonus for saving 800 bucks a year.... "

Also pushing for speed. I'd happily miss a 1,000 credit lapel pin in the desk for the bazillion dollar bonus we're totally going to get from sinjin

Melissa is going to take the Freetos out of her MRE, sprinkle it on the floor in a line trying to lure the vacuum into the waiting room so she can shut the door on it "Here Rhoomba rhoomba rhoomba...."

Jaraduk scratches his head.

Do you think you could lure it by those guards and get them to wander off for a short time?

I've added the ring of resistance, the culinary synthesizer and the self-heating pot to the loot list - I assume someone has bulk available for the pot. Our not-yet-stolen ship already has a better-stocked galley than our old ship!

As for the ring, I'd propose Akh takes it since he's our tank. Or secondarily, Del because two of her saves are at zero.

Guess? says to the party, "The way I see it, we've got four options:

"Four, we go in guns blazing but we try to incapacitate, not deactivate. Then remove their restraining bolts."

Any preferences? With option 1, I'd guess that Torren isn't in a frame of mind where he can bluff very well. With option 4, I suppose it would be a last resort and will happen anyways if we try other options and they fail. So I'd vote for either 2 or 3 and see how it plays out.

"Torrez told them something was up, even if Monitor hasn't told them something was up. They're waiting for us there for a reason "

I love Akh the Eeyore.

Melissa leaves a trail of crumbs for the space-roomba but it doesn't seem to notice. Instead, the anacite vacuum continues on a random path back and forth across the hallway. It must be on some sort of deep-cleaning routine, it is thoroughly cleaning every millimeter of floor. Then again, you don't get shining white floors and walls in an industrial facility without a deep clean. I wonder how they clean the walls? At Guess?'s suggestion of Torren bluffing the security guards, they pales. "Uh... Living under honesty protocols for so long.. I don't know about that. Then again, I suppose android's aren't known for their emotional intelligence." The ex-guard shrugs.

Melissa and Strek consider reprogramming the vacuum, but toss that idea quickly. Anacites tend to act robotically in their actions but are typically sentient constructs. If it is possible to "hack" the little roomba, it isn't within your capability. Or morals? Maybe?

In a flat and emotionless voice they say, "77B, we have intruders in Reception. Send backup."

You think back through what Torren said to Monitor 77B over the coms when you entered. These security guards will be on alert, that's for sure.

Looking at Guess?'s ideas...Option 1 will be close to a roll off, since the three androids have the same social stats. Option 2 won't be possible. Option 3 will be a Hostile Bluff check. But 1, 3, and 4 are definitely possible. Thoughts?

Ohhh! Security is already on alert. Gotcha. Alrighty, welp in the interest of moving things forward, I'm going to go with a modified version of option 3. Then if it fails, the rest of the crew can come rushing to Guess?'s rescue with option 4!

"Oh right! Those guys are already on alert. Okay, so then there's plan three-B! Listen in on comms and get ready to act. You'll know when!"

Guess? waits for the green vacuum to enter the other room, then exits south, goes to the central corridor, checks to ensure his comms line is open for the rest of the crew, mumbles to himself, "here goes nuthin' - hope this disguise holds" and then runs north to the two security androids, pretending to be in distress and out of breath.

Frantically, Guess? points south and exclaims, "My office!! Intruders!! In my office hacking into my terminal! GO! NOOOOW!!!!"

I've moved the green robot token into the conference room. Then I marked a path that Guess? will take to approach the security guards. I've also re-arranged everyone else's token within their current room in case they need to bust into the corridor to rescue Guess?.

Bluff: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Using Desna's divine blessing to reroll this one.
Bluff: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

ponders licking the floor to get her perectly good fritos back. Sarenrae knows its cleaner than most of her plates...

Akh stands at the ready at the northern exit, ready to rush out and ambush the security guards as soon as they're distracted. Although Guess suggested just slipping past them after the bluff, Akh didn't want to leave two more fellow androids helplessly in servitude.

Melissa will ask Torren

"The rhoombas they're.. robots? Aanacites? Sentient? I mean if they're sentient they're a little... single minded? They're not inhibitored too are they? "

OH!!!.. one of them, while ignoring the freetos, went where they were trying to be herded anyway. Melissa will open the door to let it in, and then close/lock the door behind it. And put something entertaining on the tv ( as subjecting any remotely thinking being to a repeated loop of the company training video would earn infamy in or out of SFS :))

Darn, I guess we can't affect the cleaning bots? I was hoping they could be useful...

Jaraduk watches as folks start getting into position and Guess?... bursts out of the room! He shakes his head and stands under Akh and hefts his heavy canon in both hands.

One of these days we're going to get out of tight spaces where I'm worried about the grenades destroying us along with foes.

Torren the security guard shrugs. "Anacites are an odd bunch. Evolved and adapted for their tasks. The cleaners don't seem to be putting much energy towards their processors if you know what I mean." The android smirks a little. "Didn't hear from them much, we needed a special receiver to translate their shortwaves. Not that they had much to say. Mostly whining about dirt."

Love the arrows, 10/10. Very artistic. :)

The anacite roomba slowly moves down the hallway. After about five minutes, it makes it's way to the line of fried potato chips that Melissa has set out. It pauses for a few seconds, then seems to switch subroutines. The little maintenance bot stops it's random pathing and chases down each crumb, all the way into the conference room. Once the chips are gone, it returns to random pathing and seemingly does not notice you closing the door on it.

Guess?, disguised as a human woman*, runs around the corner in dismay while the group waits in anticipation behind the door.

Perception, DC 11: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Perception, DC 11: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 Dang, so close. DC went down 4 for the race change. That combined with a poor roll...

The security guards, already on alert, immediately level their pistols at Guess?. One turns his head. "Exec-4?" The second android's eye flickers in light disdain. "Get your optical sensors checked, that is a goblin."

Sense Motive, DC 32: 1d20 + 3 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 10 = 23
Sense Motive, DC 32: 1d20 + 3 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 10 + 5 = 26 Good thing you used the reroll!**

The security guards jump into action, racing down the hallway. You overhear one mentioning to the other as they head away, "They didn't mention that Reisora was replaced by a new executive. Typical EJ." The second guard huffs, "Dressed funny for a goblin." The first responds, though you barely pick up his response as he gets down the hall. "I'm going to have to report you for that. You know EJ's Discrimination policy."

Ok... Congrats, you pulled it off! What do you do, though? You have remote control of the doors and locks. From what you can see, and Torren would confirm, the security guards don't have walkie talkies. So you could lock them up in the office, though Akh seems to have other plans... :) I drew their route on a map in case anyone wants to ambush them midway.

-----

*I'm learning so many new things during this campaign. You can't Disguise yourself as a specific person. So Guess? looks like a human woman who could possibly be confused for Eline Reisora.

**I always second-guess myself when adjudicating Bluff. I want to be fair, allow for Player agency, but not make it OP. I think this is fair... +10 for Hostile (they're on alert) and +5 to the one who pierced the disguise (stealing from Pathfinder 1's Bluff rules: The lie is unlikely.) I could see the argument being made for a +10 instead of a +5 (PF1: The lie is far-fetched) but the android would have failed that too. And a second +10 feels pretty brutal.

Lock them in while we sort this out.

"Mister Toren, Do you think Hub security would take your side if you got them in here? Or Could EJ Bribe them to get rid of the.. uh.. evidence, even if you were telling Hub security and the other corporations what was going on? Akh, do you think we need to do the rescuing ourselves? "

Dopplesganger level morphic skin will let you do individuals, but takes 10 miunutes to set up.

:dohs.. "Hey, you don't happen to have one of those receivers do you? " eyes spare components and wires and Strek otherwise

Guess? whispers into comms, "Guys, the coast is clear! But I think it was due more to confusion than due to my skill - but I'll take it! keke!

"Ready to head north to the ship? Or do we shoot these androids in the back in the name of liberating them? Torren seemed pretty easy to take down once we got the jump on him... errrr.. no offense, Torren."

Guess? is okay either way. Happy to keep moving north or turn south to ambush the two androids and remove their restraining bolts. It seems Akh wants to do the later?

"Six to one is grandma's idea of a fair fight but not too many other peoples...

Akh whispers "We should pick them up. No one should be a slave to EJ unless they want to." He ducks through a door opening and leap-flies down the corridor toward the two, taclash out.

So, #1 option would be bottling them up in the hallway at the red X by having half the group come from the north and half from the south. However, if its too late for that, the second best would be to let them get trapped in the office, so neither can run away. Either way, here's a stealth check to try to get the drop on them.

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

As Akh explains a more altruistic reason for dealing with the androids Jaraduk nods emphatically in a way that scream "yes, right, that."

Yeah, totally! But also... it'd just be nice if we knew we didn't have them to deal with on the way out.

stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

"Sorry Guess ... maybe next time we can get around the hitting. But not when we need to hit people to save them. "

And don't forget that sweet sweet loot! It's not too late to do the ambush at the X!

The group coordinates, ready to leap out at the androids no matter what happens. Guess?'s coms stay open and you hear when his bluffing wins over the guards. As the androids run towards the executive office, discussing the dos and don'ts of acceptable office attire, you take your moment! Surprise round! Everyone gets it, but most of your are within the break room. Someone, probably Melissa, should spend a Move action to open the doors remotely. Then everyone else can run out during the Surprise round. Akh and Del will be Squeezing (Entangled) the whole fight, don't forget the many negatives that come with that. Actually... with those Stealth rolls Akh and Jaraduk can get a head start down those hallways. Just don't go into the vertical hallway.

As you spring the trap, both security guards catch on quickly. They spin on their heels, pistols raised to send numbing energy beams into the chests of the frontliners who presumably ran out to ambush them.

tactical numbing beam @ Jaraduk: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
C nonlethal: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

This guy is probably going to step forward to get close to Akh, since I'm guessing you'll be in his grill with your whip.
static shock pad @ Akh: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Nonlethal Damage @ EAC: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 = 10

Everyone is up! Round 1

Orange Android Security Guard 0 Damage
Blue Android Security Guard 0 Damage

Doors popped open in surprise round. Release the hounds!

"Sorry Guess ... maybe next time we can get around the hitting. But not when we need to hit people to save them. "

"That's A-okay buddy! I'm just has happy shooting them in the back as sneaking around behind their back! Besides, it appears hitting them is the only way to save them. So if we have to... we have to!!"

For the surprise round, Guess? moves 5' north while drawing his rifle. For round 1, Guess? is going to shoot the closest android - orange by the looks of it.

Guess? yells out at the closest android, "Hey, look over there! It's an electric sheep!!"
Stunt and Strike (Bluff) vs CR: 1d20 + 17 - 20 ⇒ (19) + 17 - 20 = 16 or below is flat-footed
Diasporan Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage (F): 1d8 ⇒ 5 and -2 to saves if Stunt and Strike succeeded

Jaraduk rushes out into the open after guess. His head is on a swivel as he emerges. Finally noticing the guards down the hallway, he stops and plants himself with his heavy canon pointed forward.

Surprise round: move

Del squeezes her way out into the hallway (surprise round) then keeps on squeezing until she's found a safe space to stand at the back of the room. Unable to see very well from her perch, she draws her pistol.

Regular round. Melissa hightails it over to the corner, pokes the gun around the side and squeezes off a shot at orange

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 EAC
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8 non lethal sonic.

(sorry no get em. Ahh. low level envoying...)

Don't forget, you have a Surprise Round action and a full Round 1 set of actions to do!

Surprise: Hit the doors she's tied to her dwarven doors game ap
Real: Swift Hormph! her datapad into her cheekpouch, move move from inside the room to the hall while drawing (yay bab) , Standard fire the shot.

Okay okay! This is great. They're down the hall by themselves and the grenade radius should NOT go through walls. Here's one to pretend I picked the right soldier discipline :)

Jaraduk cranes his neck as her peers around the corner, seeing that the narrow hall is only occupied by the guards. He withdraws one grenade and lobs it in their direction.

[move] draw grenade
[standard] attack blue's square (covers both of them)
frag grenade I attack (vs AC5), P damage, DC13: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d6 ⇒ 5

".. I don't supose they make kinder, softer, more gentler grenades? "

Akh slips through the hallway and appears just in front of the two guards, blocking their path onward to the south. "Hold still for a moment, will you?" he whispers, only to eat a powerful jolt of electricity from one of the guards. (+1 EP, though I'd love to be hit slightly less often instead, please) "OK, then I will make you hold still. Don't worry. This is for your own good."

He swings twice at the closer of the two guards, angling his entropy-infused taclash in the tight quarters.

Entropic Taclash (nonlethal) vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 4 - 2 = 19 Damage (B): 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Entropic Taclash (nonlethal) vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 4 - 2 = 11 Damage (B): 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Hey hey! I only worked 10 hours today!! What to do with all my free time...

Surprise Round: Strek moves into position.

Round 1: With nothing obscuring his shot, Strek engages his Combat Tracking on the Android with the [orange] nametag and overcharges some lukewarm microwaves in their direction.

Ember Agitator vs EAC: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 6
Nonlethal (F): 1d8 ⇒ 2
Overcharge: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Guess? hits the android with a blast while Melissa and Strek's blasts hit the tight hallway walls.

Reflex, DC 13: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Reflex, DC 13: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Meanwhile, Jaraduk expertly applies some backspin to a grenade that explodes just out of reach of Akh. The android hits the closer security guard once, his other strike glancing off the wall. He's thinking if it weren't for these walls squeezing me in, that other swing would have hit! The guard's integrated shocking fist slams out in retaliation, catching Akh at the weak point at his arm joint. The fist comes back bloody, having penetrated the dragon's armor.

static shock pad @ Akh: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Nonlethal Damage @ EAC: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

The second guard turns, running at the large group with eyes only for Guess?. He calls out in an emotionless yell. "You're a bad executive!" The guard's charge is misguided, perhaps by the goblin's disguised height, and his swing is wild.

static shock pad @ Guess?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Nonlethal Damage @ EAC: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 = 8

Everyone is up! Round 2
Jaraduk SP 7/14, HP 20/20, RP 4/4
Akh SP 0/18 HP 9/18 RP 3/3
Strek SP 14/14 HP 18/18 RP 3/3

Orange Android Security Guard 10 Damage
Blue Android Security Guard 9 Damage

"There are good executives? Could you hold still you're signifigantly harder to hit than our practice targets when you move and don't have those giant football shaped head...although you know those glowing chest laser things are kinda target shaped...."

She'll guarded step back and try to shoot him in the rump as he deals with the larger crowd

Hits EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3 non lethal sonic

"Grandma was right that IS easier... "

Alrighty then, let's see, what was Jaraduk supposed to do...well, orange did not stay, so moving out of the way looks a little different.

Jaraduk backs into a corner next to Del and fires at the android guard that approached them!

[move] 15'
[standard] attack ORANGE
subzero hailcannon attack, C & P damage: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d8 ⇒ 5

Being overly paranoid about hitting his friends, his overly cautious aim is too far off.
