Actually, my 3rd level character is finishing a mission (hopefully by Monday). Otherwise, my next closest is 1-xp shy (2nd level) so not sure I'd be able to play him at this table. Did we get 4 players?
With a grease-elf (mechanic), laser-sworder (solarian), and theoretically a nerd-mage (technomancer) among you, which pregen would you like to have accompany you all in the likely chance a 4th RL player doesn't jump in at the last minute?
Either works for me. If you would enjoying playing your actual character for, Kaath is welcome aboard. (And can also try the ealier tasks, or any future ones ofc)
Male Elf Mercenary Mechanic 13 | SP 117/117 HP 82/82 | RP 13/13 | EAC 33; KAC 34 | Fort +11; Ref +14; Will +6 | Init: +6 (Win ties, 1/day reroll) | Perc: +22, SM: +19 | Speed 30ft | Comprehend Languanges 1/1 | Active conditions: none
since this has the starship tag, should we take a moment to determine what roles? As a mechanic, I can do Science Officer or Engineering, I also have 2 ranks in piloting, and have athletics for chief mate.
Also, now is the time to slot your boons. This scenario does have the Starship tag.
In addition, if any of you have the 'Acquainted with Datch' Ally Boon (from scenario 2-01 Pact World Warriors!) or the Big Win against Big Potion (a slotless boon, from 2-17 Cost of Living) on this character they will have an affect in certain encounters in this scenario.

Amariel should play with his Perception +10.
Donovan and Staar can keep a lookout (Perception +5) or Donovan can try to cheat, though I imagine a blunder would have serious repercussions (he has a lot of bonuses, so it's kinda unlikely).
Raia has Perception +0 and Bluff +1, so she can just help watch Denanne.
CN Male Lashunta | Envoy 4 | SP 28/28 | HP 28/28 | RP 5/6 | EAC 18; KAC 18 | Fort +2; Ref +7; Will +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +5, SM: +4+d6 | Speed 30ft | Darkvision | Active conditions: None.
So Donovan has +13+d6 bluff but I do not know the DC.
The good thing about Donovan is that he has 'Convincing Liar' ... if I roll low I could potentially reroll the bluff and forego the d6.
Convincing Liar (Ex; Bluff): When you attempt a Bluff check, you can choose not to roll your expertise die until later. After you determine what the check’s result would be, you can choose to either roll your expertise die and add the result to the total or forgo the expertise die and reroll the check. At 9th level, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to reroll the check and add the result of your expertise die.
Also, this could be a good thread to think about/discuss what the next mission(s) you would like to embark on after you finish the current one.
As I mentioned, when you and the other tables gain successes more missions may open up and you can always change your choices, but if we generally have a "mission on deck" that could help keep things moving.

Yeah, I've built Amariel to use a big effin gun but I've barely gotten to use it, thanks to AP credits and a scenario where you had to hand over all your tech. >:(
A plain, fairly unremarkable looking android wanders through the commotion with wide eyes that constantly draw him away from his path, "Hello friends. I am looking forward to working with you all. I believe my skills would be best utilized helping you identify creatures of a mystical nature."

Can we use the aid token to know more about the plague if its coming from a different plane of existence? That seems pretty mystical.
Also, while doing my routine checking of chronicle sheets, I found discrepency between my credit amounts. I was double counting a day job check on an earlier chronicle, and I have 32 credits fewer than my character sheet actually said. I have corrected my profile.

What a start - I'll try to take down yellow and move further in to let the group attack the others without cover penalties
Or we can clear the entrance and let them come after us outside... that'll make the job easier for the ranged characters, but also leave them more vulnerable.

@GM are they incorporeal? Staar's shard apocalypse solarian crystal "causes the damage dealt by your solarian weapon to function as a force effect" - destroying incorporeals is a source of great fun when playing this PC.
They are fully corporeal - the my description of its weird 'insubstantial' quill was more to explain why their quill hits EAC instead of the more normal KAC. Sahdow-stuff. Apologies if that made it unclear.
And yeah, I'm not crazy about the space this mission puts this combat in.
Also, now would be a sold time to start thinking about whihc mission you may wish to try out next. In addition to the three remaining 'covert' missions, you efforts with Denanne have lead to an 'Action Mission' request coming in from her.
Aid token was passed along after you used it (to a table also doing that smae mission as it turns out. you helped coordinate your investigations :)
If you didn't want to use the aid token to benefit yourselves anytime soon, that is when you can attempt to Boost it and pass it on. (so the table we received it from boosted and passed rather than used and passed).

Can Raia try to grease the doshko off Suzi's paws? With the shaken condition, the odds are in our favor - and that might help us negotiate a surrender, or at least Staar will get beaten up less
