[SF] Fly Free or Die AP - GM Ewok (Inactive)

Game Master EwokBanshee

Grenade ideas: 1d20 ⇒ 7 oof

Jaraduk chooses to drop a frag grenade II into the harvester's open techno-sore.

Fort vs. discharge: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 - 2 = 24

Akh swims rather ineffectually after his dragon-crush, hoping very much that the spell will wear off so he can actually do something to prevent all his friends from turning into snacks for whatever sea predators are hiding in the seaweed. By the time he reaches Avarin he's finally feeling a bit better. He readies his claws. It's almost time to get some payback.

Del reaches out, shifting the cosmos just a little to bring Melissa back from the edge.

Mystic Cure, 1st: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Strek joins in with Jaraduk to take down the Harvester, hoping this time will be different than his last few run ins with the firewall.

Computers: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 1 = 22 I just cannot roll above a ten for this poor guy.

While Melissa focuses on not dying, Del eeks a bit of magic into her wound to help make that a reality. Jaraduk swims up to the hole(s) he's made in the harvester, heroically dropping a grenade into the innards. Unfortunately... the small poof of shrapnel and bubbles that release don't seem to seriously impact the dangerous Harvester. Strek, a ways back but typing away at his datapad, runs into the same firewall that has been blocking him in the past. Thankfully he learned from his mistakes and conquers it this time! A few lines of code deleted and one of the Harvester's joints stops functioning. This, combined with the other missing and damaged pieces as well as the radiating pinkstone chunks, leads to a cascade of failures in the enormous machine! The harvester grinds to a halt, it's blades digging into it's own hull as they collapse upon themselves. Hooray! No more barely avoidable 10d6 attacks. The dragon growls at this development as her second false image disappears. "Hmmm... now you want to leave, snack? I thought you wanted me to pay you for the pleasure? No, I think this whole situation would be a lot cleaner with certain loose ends culled." Shan responds to Guess? with more than mild anxiety. "Uh... I'm kind of far away to help! I'm so sorry... please don't die! My mother would never forgive me... But the aglians are almost to safety, you can do it! Just buy us a little more time!"

Avarin swims away from Akh, laughing as she goes. Unfortunately for her, she is blinded by her own superiority complex and doesn't notice his recovery from her magical attack! Triggers an AoO! She swims in a tall serpentine pattern towards Del, twisting around as she goes. "I guess I shouldn't cut costs when hiring muscle next time. It's so annoying doing these jobs myself."

Breath Attack, A Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 2, 5, 6, 2, 1, 2, 2) = 27 Melissa, Akh, Guess?, give me a Reflex DC 18 for half damage.

Round 12, everyone is up!

Avarin Sacreon, 10 Damage

Successes: 15, Harvester down!

reflex save that doesn't matter I think I'm Ko'd anyway: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Spend a resolve point to not die.

Jaraduk draws a stickbomb ii grenade, and begins nonchalantly circling the crowd.

Nothing to see here!

[move] Draw grenade
[move] Swim!

AoO Entropic Claw vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 - 2 = 26 Damage (B, force): 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (2, 6) + 10 = 18

Akh swipes at the dragon as she tries to slip away, calling out "Snack? I know you've got your work and all, but are you also into snacking? I wouldn't recommend the goblin though, he's quite bla-" Akh gets cut off as a blast of acid surges through the water at him and his allies. In a flash, he whips his long tail around to disrupt the wave before it can hit anyone.

(Using my 1/day Reactive for another reaction, then using Dampen to halve the damage that breath weapon deals to everyone. Sadly, even on a successful save Melissa's still taking 8 dmg and will be KO'd again...)

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 - 2 = 15

Akh weathers the acid wave, then dives after Avarin, ending with another claw-slash.

Entropic Claw vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 - 2 = 22 Damage (B, force): 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 1) + 10 = 16

GM Ewok, when Avarin moved into position to attack with his breath in the previous turn, might that have also triggered an AoO from Del? She's got a battleglove on.

-----

Ref save DC 18 w/ evasion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Guess? dodges away from the dragon breath.

Surprised he isn't a small shred of meat stuck in Avarin's tooth, Guess? stows his knife and takes a shot at Avarin.

12-atm extrusion rifle vs KAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 (Manual sight reduces range and AC cover bonuses by 2)
Damage (B), crit: 1d10 + 6 + 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 + (4) + 6 = 26
That crit is pretty lucky. Too bad the previous crit didn't land!

"Del, see if you can help Melissa and Jaraduk! Everyone else, let's focus on bringing home some dragon bacon tonight!"

Not sure if Del can reach anyone without triggering an AoO though. She might have to just go on the offensive or perhaps withdraw.

Strek unleashes a boosted shot at Avarin!

Called Blaze Agitator vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Damage (F): 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 2) + 5 = 13
Overcharge: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Boost: 1d6 ⇒ 5

I'll bot Del to take 2 guarded steps so she can get out of Avarin's melee reach.

Del cautiously backs away from the dragon...

GM Ewok, when Avarin moved into position to attack with his breath in the previous turn, might that have also triggered an AoO from Del? She's got a battleglove on.

huh... I guess she does have Reach!

cestus battleglove AoO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 lolol
B Damage: 1d4 + 5 + 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (2) + 5 = 14

Del, fully settling into the role of chief DPS despite Akh's return to the fight, reaches out and backhands Avarin.

Breath Weapon: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Melissa, really wishing she had an evasive bone in her body, passes out just as quickly as she roused. Jaraduk also decides that now is the time to practice his operative skills, sneaking around the edge. Strek hits the executive in the torso with a beam of energy, enjoying the full view. Akh, protecting the rest of the crew, still makes time to slash into the dragon's scales with an empowered claw. "Oh darling, I'm down to snack a little. Bring me a four piece goblin bucket. Don't worry about if he's bland, I'll add the --." The dragon's exaggerated wink is interrupted by a bullet to the back of her neck. "GOBLIN! I'm BUSY!" The dragon takes a deep breath in - apparently indifferent to the water - while her chest glows a neon green. She pauses a moment then breaths out acid over Akh, Guess?, and Melissa!

Breath Attack, A Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 2, 1, 2, 5, 1, 4, 6) = 35 Akh & Guess?, give me a Reflex DC 18 for half damage. Melissa loses another RP point. :(

Round 13, everyone is up!

Avarin Sacreon, 106 Damage

Successes: 15, Harvester down!

Spend 2 resolve points to not die

Okay, if she didn't notice me sneaking around before, she'll notice now.

Here for a good time, not for a long time!

He lobs his bomb perfectly between his companions just so the blast radius catches Avarin.

Explode (DC 17), entangle (Acrobatics DC 17, Break DC 22)
Stickybomb II grenade

Seeing Del swing a cripplingly strong uppercut on Avarin, Guess?'s eyes go wide as he thinks to himself, "Maybe I should stop using 'Reisora' as a verb to mean stealing things. Maybe.... but nah, not gunna stop just yet. keke!"

--------

Reflex DC18: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
"Gobbammit!!" curses Guess? as he gets engulfed in dragon breath.

Guess? backs away and yells, "Busy? I guarantee, my voice will never leave your head because my declarations are nothing short of an earwyrm!!"
Stunt and Strike (Bluff) vs CR: 1d20 + 18 + 4 - 20 ⇒ (13) + 18 + 4 - 20 = 15 or below is flat-footed
12-atm extrusion rifle vs KAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 (Manual sight reduces range and AC cover bonuses by 2)
Damage (B): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 flat-footed to all and -2 to saves if Stunt and Strike succeed

Ack! Del has a reaction she would've used to protect Melissa from falling unconscious again, if you'll let her use it. Reduces the damage dealt to Melissa by:
Prevent Wounds: 3d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 1) = 9
Which should've kept her conscious and means she didn't need to spend that last 2 RP. It costs me 1 RP to use.

---

With a single spell left at her disposal, Del seizes onto the dragon's mind and launches it forward in time, weighing her down with a day's worries and pains. "Get away from them!"
Casting day's weariness.
Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (7, 1, 6, 2) = 16 Plus fatigued for 6 rounds. DC 17 Will save for half damage and to negate the fatigue.

If the timey whimney ball results in a concious rodent I'll run south.

Reflex save if it matters reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

"Darling? Oh..." Akh clanks "Oh, wow. That's... wow." He's momentarily thrown off, barely even hearing anything beyond her mutual love of snacking. When the dragon's chest starts glowing green again, he snaps out of it and pokes Avarin in the snout as she's readying to fire, throwing her off. (Another dampen to halve the base damage of the breath attack to 17 for everyone)

Reflex vs. breath: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 - 2 = 13

The move keeps him busy long enough that he eats most of what's left of the acid. As he readies to claw her again, he suggests "I think, maybe, we could really get along. We could, possibly, stop fighting right now, and go get something to eat. What do you think?"

Entropic Claw vs EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 Damage (B, force): 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 1) + 10 = 17

If there's anyone who is able to go back in time to change events, it would be Del!

Just as Melissa is about to fall to the dragonfire, Del twists her wrist and shifts her out from under the brunt of the pain. Melissa is able to swim away from the dangerous area, running on adrenaline. As she moves, she spits out a healing potion into her hand. Ok, so Del keeps Melissa up at the beginning of Round 13. Melissa runs away, dodging the second breath weapon at the end of Round 13. So she is up and at 1 HP, thanks to the combination of both Akh's Dampen and Del's Mitigate.

---

We'll say everyone delays until after Guess? takes down her saves...

Guess? continues to lay down punishing firepower while distracting with his quips. Avarin's head twists just as she is attacked by the rest of the group.

Reflex Save, DC 17: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 2 = 12
Rounds: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

Jaraduk's grenade explodes right on time, completely entangling the dragon in synthetic webbing!

Will Save, DC 17: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 14 - 2 = 19

Despite these distractions, the high powered executive's iron will is just too strong to be overcome by something as simple as an entire day's weariness all piling on at once. The dragon simply scoffs. "Attempting to play with my mind, covering me in your trappings, this is all just so sad." Akh's aim is off, leading his dangerous claw towards a heavily armored portion of Avarin's shoulder, but the combined weight of those 'trappings' and Guess?'s words cause the dragon to lean into the blow rather than away from it!

Breath Weapon: 1d4 ⇒ 2
It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to make a freaking 35 foot cone template. ugh. Only then did I realize the grenade's Rounds roll had shifted the Breath Weapon rounds roll around. lol

Unable to move easily, the dragon stays in place and stares down Akh. Avarin, ignoring the rest of the group for a moment, focuses only on what's in her reach. "Claws can hurt as badly as words, you know. How about this. I'm going to put you down for a nap, and we can talk through your prospects after you wake up with a better attitude." With that curt, and possibly serious, comment, she unleashes dragon fury on Akh!

bite @ Akh: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 12 - 2 = 25
P Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
2 claws: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 - 2 = 24
S Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
2 claws: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 2 = 15
S Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
tail slap: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 12 - 2 = 25
B Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

A whirlwind of pain descends on the android, who weathers it bravely. What could have been a killing blow to many within your seriously wounded party is absorbed by his thick armor. Nonetheless, fluid leaks from the fresh wounds into the Shadow Sea surrounding Akh.

Round 14, everyone is up!
Guess? SP 14/36, HP 32/32, RP 7/8
Akh SP 0/66, HP 37/46, RP 6/7, Shaken for 11 more rounds

Avarin Sacreon, 146 Damage, Entangled for another 1 round, Breath weapon available in 1 round

Successes: 15, Harvester down!

Hey, every little bit counts! Thousand papercuts and all... It can't take too many more.

He retrieves and lobs a frag grenade in front of her so the burning radius catches her.

frag grenade II attack vs AC5, P damage (DC17): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 272d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Melissa SCREEEEEES and makes a run for it
"Ok grandma i need the wheel back now..." she pokes around the corner

She takes out a needler rifle and double checks the ammo "crap, this is supposed to be for shan..."

One very Expensive shot: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 vs KAC
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 DC 17 fort save and take 7 damage. The whinnis can't knock her out but it could still hurt.

... Its been so long since i made attack rolls I forgot why i stopped

"Sorry Akh...! Wrong dragon butt!"

"Rodent is our word! "

Seeing the dragon launch a flurry of attacks on Akh, Guess?'s jaw drops and is left speechless as he desperately tries to land another shot.

Stunt and Strike (Bluff) vs CR: 1d20 + 18 + 4 - 20 ⇒ (18) + 18 + 4 - 20 = 20 or below is flat-footed
12-atm extrusion rifle vs KAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 (Manual sight reduces range and AC cover bonuses by 2)
Damage (B): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 flat-footed to all and -2 to saves if Stunt and Strike succeed

With the couple crits recently, Guess? was due for a natural 1...

"this is all just so sad."

"Contract work ain't for everyone."

Round I missed...

Combat Tracking on the whiny Dragon, then Overcharge

Called Blaze Agitator vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 = 15
Damage (F): 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11
Overcharge: 1d6 ⇒ 2

This round...

Boost, Overcharge

Called Blaze Agitator vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18
Damage (F): 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 = 14
Overcharge: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Boost: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Akh crumples under the barrage of strikes, yelping as he does. It doesn't particularly hurt, but he hopes it might convince Avarin that she's had enough. (Mitigating first attack, so 6 less damage. Also 4-hit multiattack? Rude.) He strikes back when he has an opening, infusing his strike with a bit of extra entropic energy.

(Spending 1 newly acquired EP to boost)

Boosted Entropic Claw vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 - 2 = 27 Damage (B, force): 2d6 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (6, 1) + 10 + (3) = 20

Del pulls out her gun and fires a shot at the dragon, grateful that her friends helped her aquafit it and hopeful that her aim had improved since last time she tried to fire it...

Ranged Attack vs. EAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Fire Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8

whiff
whiff - whiff
whiff
whiff

boom

Reflex Save, DC 17: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 2 = 21

As half the group's shots scratch at Avarin's scales but don't do any significant damage. Jaraduk's grenade chars the dragon's back, but she doesn't even flinch.

Reflex Save, DC 17: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 - 2 = 17

Just as things look bleak, Akh fits a sharp claw in under Ms. Sacreon's defenses and strikes the broken scales to cut flesh! The executive gasps in pain, looking into Akh's eyes in shock. "Well, this is quite unexpected..." She takes a step backwards, drawing her pistol as she goes then dropping both her sidearm and datapad to the seafloor below. "Alright. You've made your point. You don't like The Company and what we're doing here. Heard." She grins a wicked smile and her gaze skims over all of you before settling onto Guess?. "You wanted payment. That can be arranged. Return to your ship, leave any company property or IP you may have found... 'evidence' some might call it ... behind, and sign a nondisclosure agreement. I will transfer 5000 credits to each of you from my personal accounts at Elysia when we return. I’ll release your grav-locked starship, making you wealthy and free." She lifts her claws hands up, palm out, with a glowing green light filling her chest. "One time offer. Take it or leave it."

Round 15, everyone is up!
Guess? SP 14/36, HP 32/32, RP 7/8

Strek

Avarin Sacreon, 168 Damage

Successes: 15, Harvester down!

Guess? raises his rifle up, aims it at Avarin and says, "5000 creds? That's an insult! You're missing two, maybe three zeroes there! And to be clear, I don't NOT like The Company. It screwed us but I get it, The Company screws everyone and it ain't personal - if I were running The Company, I'd probably do the same.

Stunt and Strike (Bluff) vs CR: 1d20 + 18 + 4 - 20 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 4 - 20 = 16 or below is flat-footed
12-atm extrusion rifle vs KAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 (Manual sight reduces range and AC cover bonuses by 2)
Damage (B): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 flat-footed to all and -2 to saves if Stunt and Strike succeed

Not entirely sure if guess is negotiating for a hire price or turning her down

Get er!

A second very expensive shot: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12
damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (4, 4) = 16 And a DC 17 fort save.

... not that she's shot close enough to the dragon to make a difference but drop prone.

Figuring his bombs won't do that much damage, Jaraduk switches back to trying to slow her down more.

[move] draw stickybomb ii grenade
[standard] throw Attack square (AC5): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Not sure how I got away without a attack-the-square roll last time with this type of bomb, but remembered it this time.

Explode (DC 17), entangle (Acrobatics DC 17, Break DC 22)
Stickybomb II grenade

"5000 credits? Well, maybe-" Akh's about to ask for something a little more significant, but Guess ends up effectively rejecting the offer. Akh follows up the goblin with "It's true, for something like this, 5000 seems a little low, doesn't it? I mean, EJ has millions of credits at least."

He swipes in with his claw, after first swirling aside to dodge Melissa's butt-homing shots. Unfortunately the evasion throws him off balance.

Entropic Claw vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 - 2 = 11 Damage (B, force): 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 5) + 10 = 21

lol, this fight is just not going your way...

At the sight of Guess? pulling his trigger, Avarin sighs. "Professionalism truly is dead." Just after Guess?'s rifle blows off a scale on her chest, the dragon's mouth belches acidic fire! Readied Action :)

breath weapon, A Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 5, 1, 6, 6, 1, 5, 1) = 33 Akh & Guess?, give me a Reflex save, DC 18 for half damage!

Meanwhile, Melissa continues to fire cartridges more expensive than her old EJ Corp paychecks into the Shadow Sea.

Reflex Save, DC 17: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 2 = 11
Entangled Rounds: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

As Jaraduk's grenade slows the dragon down with synthetic bindings, the dragon struggles against the tangle and the power of Guess?'s words. Avarin dodges Del's shot, but is slowed by the other distractions around, and moves right into Strek's energy blast! The dragon gasps in water then coughs in pain. She does have enough energy left to dodge Akh's follow up attack. "Ooh... I miss the days when the peasants were easily bribed. Fine. Die." She gives Akh a wink. "Unless you want to start a mutiny? Your captain does look delicious..." Her words ring hollow as she spins in a fury of muscle around Akh! Cooling fluid spills out from the android's armor in the seconds before his suit can seal the gaping wounds. Ooh... that Reflex save just got a lot more important.

Melissa's EJ corp "paychecks" were stubs she rooted out of the garbage while looking for her EJ coverall armor slash disguise. Unless her file popped as "Lars, square jawed human cyborg obsessive" Again

"How the hell did mom switch out the cartridges on these things? "

GETER!

attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11

melissa isn't sure how mom pulled that trick, but she should probably stop trying to look down the barrel to figure it out

Reflex save w/ evasion, DC18: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Guess? easily sidesteps the breath attack.

"Mutiny?!? I wish! Honestly, I can be bought off with a high enough number. Most of my crew, unfortunately, cannot. So, yah... Die."

Guess? is about to fire but after a moment's thought, adds, "And some of this crew doesn't even believe in killing! 'Attack non-lethally!' they say. Can you believe it?!?"

And on that note, Guess? backs up and fires. Lethally.

Stunt and Strike (Bluff) vs CR: 1d20 + 18 + 4 - 20 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 4 - 20 = 16 or below is flat-footed

Ranged Attack vs. EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 = 18
Fire Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 = 8

As her shot misses yet again, she pulls out a spell gem.

"And some of this crew doesn't even believe in killing!

"Just because I think it's a spice not a vegetable!!!!!"

Spending an EP for another dampen!
Reflex: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 - 2 = 19 Ooh, evasion kicks in for 0 damage. Shame about the EP wastage, but I wasn't taking any chances
---
Akh nimbly ascends, coiling the tip of his tail around Avarin's head so that her acid breath goes way off target. Though Avarin shakes him free and then slaps him with her own tail, he manages to hold onto consciousness. "Well, I guess, I'll be seeing you..." He offers a parting word before cutting in with his own claw.

Entropic Claw vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 - 2 = 28 Damage (B, force): 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 3) + 10 = 18

If that knocks her out, he swims directly away from her and the harvester, in case there's a kill switch. Which, lets be honest, there probably will be.

Guess?'s shot wounds, and his words distract. Those, along with the irritatingly sticky webs constricting the dragon, allow Del's shot to land true! Avarin blinks a few times, nearly losing consciousness. Then, with a vicious blow, Akh takes her out! The executive falls backwards, slowly floating towards the ocean floor below.

COMBAT OVER!

To Akh's surprise, neither the Harvester nor the foe explode in violent vengeance. Alright, those kalo are long gone. But, there is a dying executive and a datapad hanging about! That and... where did these people come from anyway?! So anyone can give me a Medicine, Computers, and/or Survival check to learn more. Also, who wants to Take 10?

"Most of my crew, unfortunately, cannot. So, yah... Die."

Oh, no I can totally be bought off. It's just... maybe my price is higher?

He thinks back to the old days for a flash before Akh takes out Avarin.

Oh well. Time for a rest! I... got a little beat up there.

Jaraduk is certainly taking 10

"I'm not going to say hard "no" to killing her. I am going to say that if we want her dead when she's alive we can change our minds later. If we decide we want her alive when she's dead, not so much Maybe the Aglians can change her mind. Also the definition of worth more alive than dead. "

Assuming Guess? will at least listen to the last part. Stabilize gem . Doesn't trust the dice right now.

If jardku and strek will help her, unceremoniously stuff the dragon into a hole in the shredder winnie the poo style and bolt her in.

THEN sit down somewhere shaking in existential crisis for ten minutes to regain some stamina. Glug 2 healing serums.

2d8: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 8) = 13

survival: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Del looks around warily for a while, still clutching her gun and spell gem. When no one else comes out to murder them, she sighs, holsters her gun and gem, and gives her arms a shake, clearly trying to work out the adrenaline. "Well they came out of nowhere. I wonder if they came by vehicle, or they have some kind of base around here..."

She takes a quick glance around, but sees nothing and shrugs. She settles in to take a quick 10 minute break with everyone while drinking some healing serums.

Healing Serum: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Healing Serum: 1d8 ⇒ 5

"Does anyone else need a healing serum?" Del has 7 more she can share if anyone needs some extra.

She's trash or untrained in all those skills. Have to leave the investigation to others.

Guess? attempts to assist Melissa with survival, if applicable.
Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Guess? is indifferent to whether Avarin can be stabilized or not. BUT he will recover the datapad and loot the body. In fact, he'll loot all kalo bodies as well... which isn't at all unexpected.

He'll then take a rest along with everyone else.

"Melissa, glad you survived. I didn't expect this to get so rough so fast. I had no idea Avarin herself was tracking us!"

Guess? then addresses the entire crew, "Y'know everyone, I've been thinking about our line of work a bit more recently and I've come to a conclusions or perhaps an epiphany. Lemme run it by you...

"Cuz at some point, it might make sense to rename ourselves from Bullseye Shipping to Bullseye Solutions - if ya know what I mean!"

Having shared his thoughts, Guess? kicks back and relaxes for 10 minutes.

"The last time we got mistaken for a special forces black ops unit an actual special forces black ops unit kidnapped nearly everyone we knew, mind wiped them and put them on club fed as bait. How about we actually haul some boxes and I can actually go a week without having to grow fur back over 40% of my body? "

"Well they came out of nowhere. I wonder if they came by vehicle, or they have some kind of base around here..."

"There's no way I'd build a destrorobot THAT cool and then not be able to sit in the drivers seat. "

Akh nods as Guess explains, though his gaze is on the dead dragon executive. "Bullseye Solutions sounds nice. And if the trouble keeps coming to us, we might as well get paid for it properly." He ponders for a moment "Maybe if we were black-ops something somethings, we wouldn't have had to fight Avarin, and would have instead maybe been able to invite her into our cool squad. That would have been nice." Though Akh lacks the ability to sigh, the rattling of his dented, broken scales certainly gives off a similar impression.

Resting 10 mins too!

"So, I assume Avarin probably told some other people in EJ she was coming down here. We should probably go grab Shan and leave before they send more to investigate. Oh and, maybe her data pad has something useful."

"She might not have told anyone actually. Telling someone that she needs to go and personally clean up a mess will likely be seen as a sign of weakness and incompetence. She's probably got a 'go fire some schmucks" meeting on her calendar for right now, but no actual details about us in particular."

Sorry, y'all, busy day today. I am missing a Computers check, if Melissa or someone wants to try their hand at the datapad. I'll move us forward tomorrow!

Guess? looks over Melissa and Strek's shoulders and attempts to assist.

Computers: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

"Hey doesn't ALT-F4 give you instant access to all programs?"

"Black ops mercenaries?! What? Definitely not! I'm a chef—and not even a fully trained one! Who'd believe we were mercenaries?" Del ponders for a moment, refusing to realize that, perhaps, they were. "I don't mind changing the name to Bullseye Solutions, though... Still sounds like a shipping company to me. Plus we help people, when we can. That's a solution, too, isn't it?"

computers: 1d20 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 13 + (1) = 21

"Strek where's the any Key, Akh, find something shiny in the wreck to distract the captain..."

"Black ops mercenaries?! What? Definitely not! I'm a chef—and not even a fully trained one! Who'd believe we were mercenaries?" Del ponders for a moment, refusing to realize that, perhaps, they were. "I don't mind changing the name to Bullseye Solutions, though... Still sounds like a shipping company to me. Plus we help people, when we can. That's a solution, too, isn't it?"

"No need to play coy, Del. I've seen them documentaries. All chefs are special forces operatives!"

Guess? winks.
