@Kaylee, ahh yes. 17 damage is correct. Looks like you ninja posted me and I missed it

Kaylee fires at the remaining robot, but is deflector shield must be up, as her shot glances off it. 15 is a arrow miss vs EAC

"Oh you want to dance? I'd make a comment about being willing able to dance, but my freinds would know I was lying. Speaking of which... here they come."
Guarded step back, standard action to dismiss the laser net.

"Fine," Iskakii says, drawing another pistol. "Let me know when you are ready to talk."

Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34 He is flat footed if the total -20 is more than his CR.

Pulsecaster Pistol: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

stunElectric: 1d4 + 3d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + (1, 3, 7) + 2 = 14

NAdia frees up the exit for her compaions, while Iskakii moves to a less diplomatic approach. Tricky, too tricky really.

The man sneers at the feeble attempt. "Maybe I shouldn't worry about you after all, and deal with you myself." he muses.

DC 13 Reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Patterson ducks the worst of the electrical blast. Then he closes with the robot, drawing a knife on the approach and stabbing at it.

Runner spark knife to red bot KAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Damage, if applicable, E/S: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Feh. At least I rolled well for the save.

It's almost as it the team was cursed, Patterson's strike is also deflected by the robots armor.

Patterson 13/28SP

Reflex DC13: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Not expecting the blast from behind, Saeron takes the full jolt.

Turning her attention back to the man, she begins casting a spell. (Full round)

Someone want to suggest an action for Buddy?

For Buddy maybe repeat last round? Move to a good firing angle and use brutal blast?

I'm about to head to bed so posting my next round in case it comes up:

If the red robot is still standing Kaylee will fire twice at it! If it moves out of her line of fire she'll move up and fire. If it goes down she'll rush in to see what's up with that computer.

Hutchket rifle 1: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 - 4 = 25 KAC (+4 if single shot)
Piercing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Crit!: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Hutchket rifle 2: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 - 4 = 21 KAC
Piercing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Buddy takes two shots at robot...

Shoot@robot vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 4 = 3
Damage, c&P: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Shoot@robot vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 4 = 9
Damage, c&P: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Unfortunately they both miss

Saeron starts to cast, while Buddy opens up on the robot I'll take the first set, they were better

The robot doesn't look like it can take much more. Calculating its options, it decides that Patterson is still the best target, so it tries slamming into him again
slam! vs KAC19: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 4 = 22
slam! vs KAC19: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 4 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

The Man in Black lashes out with his sword cane trying to free himself from the annoying Nadia as he slips past her. Guarded step
attack vs Kacc 18: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Status: bold may post

Saeron finishes casting and, for a instant, nothing seems to happen. Then, the air just behind the man begins to shimmer, before warping and spiralling in on itself, revealing a brief glimpse of a strange primordial jungle beyond as a creature leaps through...

Roughly the size of a large dog, the beast has the body of a great cat, stag-like twisted antlers and bristles coasting along the ridge of its back and long tail. It gnashes at the man with its sharp fangs.

Bite 1: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 4 = 16 Grab if = KAC+4
Piercing damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Bite 2: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 4 = 19 Grab if = KAC+4
Piercing damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Nadia guarded steps back put some distance between herself and the man with the sword cane and to get her allies out of the line of fire.
"You know I'm starting to suspect you're something of a cad... but the obnoxious kind not the fun kind. I suspect I'll have to teach you a lesson now. It's entirely possible you are a BAD MAN!"

Nadisa final words create a distortion way as her shout violently agitates the space in front of her.
resonant larynx DC 15 fort for half Damage(So): 5d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 2, 2) = 15

Annoyed at how ineffective he seems to be today, Iskakii nevertheless keeps to his style.

Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

stun pistol: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

nonlethal damage: 1d4 + 3d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + (6, 3, 5) + 2 = 19

Patterson slashes at the robot twice, fully expecting to miss.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 4 = 8
Attack 2: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 4 = 9

His expectations are met.

The tiger(?) appears and grabs the Man in Black. He squeaks in terror and pain as its fangs sink into him. Technically I think you get an action this round if you want

Nadia then screams at the man, really loudly.
fort: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Iskakaii has at least the good grace to grace to try and not kill the man who flops unconscious in the tigers mouth.

Patterson turns on the robot, but can't do much to hurt it.

But I think I'll call the battle here, the robot is all but done, and you have your captive.

Lanzio lies in the tigers mouth, limp and bleeding badly.

As the summoned creature (First World Beast) wounds the man, Saeron dashes forward, calling, "Hold! We don't wish to kill him!"

At her command the beast releases the man from its grasp and takes a step back. Saeron crouches beside Lanzio, tending to his injuries, the beast pacing restlessly at her heels.

Medicine, First Aid DC15: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

Medicine, Treat Deadly Wounds DC25: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Lanzio comes around, scowling.
"So you break into my home and assault me? What have I ever done to you?"

Buddy slumps to the ground and puts his weapons: doshko, hailcannon and radcannon to the ground. He reaches for his backpack and takes out the Akiton Way bar that he munches on.

Using 1 RP to regain stamina, if we can.

"Yuuuu naaaooowww whatttt you mmmm did" says with his mouth full of chocolate bar.

Someone may have alerted the station security... Just saying. This is a residential area...
Laser fire in the open?
Hailcannon causing local weather disturbances?
Jungle cats appearing out of thin air?
Live blog the action here at Songbird Station!

"I mean the door was unlocked and we saw suspicious movement but no one answered. A couple people said they were trying to get ahold of you but you weren't responding. Out of an abundance of concern we even gave you medical treatment. At least thats how I rememebr it. Like we said we just wanted to talk. I'm going to go see what you tried to delete."
Nadia steps inside to begin downloading the files he was going to delete and gives Historia-7 a call on her comm unit. If she can short rest while doing that she will.

Kaylee heads over to the computer to see what was going on there as well. She'll also check the local infosphere while Nadia contacts Historia-7.

Iskakii moves over to interrogate the man. "And as you may recall, you fired on us first. We told you, multiple times, that we wanted to talk."

"You broke into my house! whines the man.
"Self defence?! Why? Why would you break into my house?"

You'll need to use some skill to get information out of him.

Nadia finds the computer has been wiped, and looks like it had been set to self destruct, which you stopped. Of course there is wiped, and there is Wiped.

When you contact Historia-7 she asks you to interface her coms unit directly to the computer to see if there is anything she can recover easily.

"You broke into my house! whines the man.

"Self defence?! Why? Why would you break into my house?"

You'll need to use some skill to get information out of him.

Nadia finds the computer has been wiped, and looks like it had been set to self destruct, which you stopped. Of course there is wiped, and there is Wiped.

When you contact Historia-7 she asks you to interface her coms unit directly to the computer to see if there is anything she can recover easily.

"Not a problem. let me get you connected."

Historia-7 makes an initial connection and puts a deeply contemplative expression on her face. You see the computers resource manager red-line as she puts it to work...

After a few minutes she says "This will take a lot more effort to get the details, but it looks like our friend here..Where is he by the way? Anyway, Mr Lanzio is a very naughty boy. He seems to have uploaded a virus of some complexity to Songbird station's info sphere. I'm guessing it is targeted at the station power supplies..."

"He's in the alley. We managed to keep him in one peice even though he decided to repeatedly shoot at us even though we told him we only wanted to talk. I'll get him in here."
Nadia pokes his head outside.
"Well well well, Mr. Lanzio we better go ahead and get the authorities here. You're right we should report this break in. While station security is gathering evidence from the fight they can complete the forensics on your poorly erased hard drive. I'm pretty sure they frown on that kind of reckless endangerment and interstellar terrorism. Or you could tell us what we know and maybe we even get you out of here before who ever hired you decides you are a lose end that needs tying up."

please tell me someone actually has social skills, despite nadias fair charisma I don't think I've gotten her trained up in diplo, bluff or intimidate.

(With the build I have, Iskakii can do any skill. How well is another question.)

Iskakii removes the mask from his helmet, staring at Lanzio with his compound eyes. Slowly, his proboscis emerges from his head, like a ghast's tongue. He continues extending toward Lanzio's ear. In his mind, Lanzio hears the kiriinta's thoughts.

"We tried the easy way. Maybe we can do this the fun way."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

reroll: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

Iskakii gives Lanzio a Hard Stare(tm). Lanzio looks unimpressed, that is until the Kiirinta leans a little closer and blows glittery dust in the mans eyes with his wings.
"No... no need for the authorities... just a little.. umm.. misunderstanding." he replies.

"Look, I'm just a middle man, a delivery agent in this particular case. Someone asked me to drop off some code, and I did so...

"Who's 'someone?'"

"I don't know. They are just known as the 'Board of Directors', and I do work for them. Make arrangements. That kind of thing. I don't do Field Work. At least not normally. But this stupid concert meant the cost of tickets to get here was too high, so... I had to come my self. Why anyone would want to mess with the station power supply - well, thats not my business."

Patterson takes out his comm unit and taps a quick message to Historia-7, copying the group chat. We noticed some issues with station power on our way over here, and were going to investigate after we found Lanzio. What do you want us to do with him now?

Kaylee comes up (maybe a bit late), leaning waaay over to look at Lanzio in her low-cut top to play a spin on "good cop"

"Is that it? Really? Are you suuuure you can't help us out a bit more?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

"That is convenient for you isn't it? You don't care about power supply. What a dork! "

"So I guess now we need to fix this right? There are hundreds of nufriends on the station. We can not let anything to happen to them."

Historia's reply is quick "Best get over there and see what you can do. I'll do some more investigation of the virus in the meanwhile and see if I have some ideas about removal by the time you get there."

Lanzio mutters something about being sorry and offers some tips on how you might extract the virus in exchange for his freedom.

"yeah, maybe AFTER we get rid of the virus."

You check your station map. The reactor is... all the way around the other side of the station. The quickest way is to retrace your route through the crowd, back to your ship and then continue along the crowded concourse in the other direction...

Fun. Iskakii flutters upward to get going.

"Shall we?" comes the telepathic invitation.

Slowly you make your way back along the concourse. You spot the little snake headed girls being given a piggy-back by tall android at one stage, and the jumping tele-presence unit seems to be attracting quite an audience itself.

Still, eventually you make it back to the shuttle with your prisoner in tow. Then, on through the crowds you head again. Up ahead you spot what at first you think is a gap in the crowd. Hurrah, easy travel!

First impressions are mistaken. There is a swarm of skittermanders in hot-pink. Two rather embarrassed looking vesk (likely teenagers) try to keep the hoard in line, while simultaneously trying to very much not be associated with the miniature mob.

The human rolls his eyes, then approaches the vesk. "Need a hand?"

Patterson feels a tug at his knees. Those Nagaji having spotted the Starfinders again are after a lift. Of course... those Vesk are even taller than Patterson.. "peep" one says, hopefully.

"No, no.. Just chaperoning the little ones. Nothing we can't handle.." says the first, looking embarrassed to be talking to someone while surrounded by a gaggle of excited, bright pink, skittermanders.
"Helping?" asks one of them.

Kaylee winces at the word "help" seeing the number of Skittermanders in the area and tries to see if there's a quicker way around than through the pink mob since they have to get to the reactor.

Saeron waves to the nagaji as the 'peeping' returns.

"Are you here to see Strawberry Machine Cake, too?" she asks the skittermanders.

"Maybe you can help us?" Saeron continues. "See over there?" she points our the direction of their destination. "We need to get over there but the crowd is blocking our way..."

"Yes!!!!!" scream the hoard of hot-pink. "We help!!!!!" and the swarm is off. The two teen-vesk grasp their heads in dismay as their charges... charge off. The little Najai look sad and "Peep" at you again.

"Hmm not quite sure that is what we were going for but, I guess it worked out for us."

"We're not going to the concert just yet," Saeron tries explaining to the little nagaji. "But I'll carry you there once we're done."

"Come on!" she beckons her companions. "Keep close to follow in their wake!" The lashunta dashes off close behind the swirling swarm of pink.

Iskakii passes over the little ones quickly.

"I'll find you when we get back. Don't worry, this concert is going to be great!" he says telepathically.

After a moment, he has an idea. Seeing the sea of pink, he swoops down by the vesk chaperone.

"Say," he starts in a friendly telepathic tone, "would you be willing to do me a solid? My friends promised to help these kids get in, and it seems your crowd would be easier to find than just them. Could you keep them nearby? Possibly carry them? Please?"

The towering vesk seem keen on anything that will distract folk from the bright pink hoard they are trying to keep together. With a Peep of thanks the najani are transferred to even better shoulders of the vesk.

The swarm, unattended for a moment push through the crowd in a complex motion. You follow in their wake for a while.

Nearby you notice a frantic looking korasha lashunta bedecked in SMC merchandise accosting one person after another, each shakes their head and pass on.
