SFS 3-11 - Into the Veskarium [Gameday X] (KS) (Inactive)

Game Master phaeton_nz

Sir Feighnswelle scoots over toward the tree to help.
Double move

The Specialist follows Sir Feignswelle, moving to aid the nearest pinned soldier.

Double move

Navasi will follow behind Sir Feighnswelle

Delea prepares magical healing if it's needed once the soldiers are released.

Tanila follows behind Navasi.

Kneepuncher is having a lot of trouble with that tree
athletics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 SF
engineering: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28 TS

but with the help of Sir Feignswelle and the Specialist, Kneepuncher is able to shift it. Though the unfortunate soldiers are deceased, one carries a hard case on his belt containing both the blue beetle and stone pipe artefacts.

"Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? This couldn't have been some kind of coincidental accident, right? Both items that we're looking for are right here... is this too easy?"

Navasi looks around trying to spot traps or an ambush.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Navasi is the first to notice that the wind is picking up. This gives her enough time to get everyone to take cover in the trench.

Fresh debris covers the area, and new tears in the ground reveal a deeper layer of subsoil. Preserved bones and ancient weaponry jut from the ground, excavated by the powerful storm. A bony hand twitches and grasps the exposed root of an upturned tree. The skeleton of a long-dead vesk heaves itself upright and takes a shuddering step. More skeletons rise and shuffle forward in a twisted approximation of marching.

Initiatives:
Delea: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Kneepuncher: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Navasi: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Sir Feighnswelle: 1d20 ⇒ 9
Tanila: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
The Specialist: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Yellow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Green: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Blue: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Red: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Delea and The Specialist are up first

"Looks like we've got some uneasy dead, here 'bouts," says The Specialist with a cheery smile. "No worries, though. We can handle this!"

"Time for some POSITIVE THOUGHTS!"

He swings his huchket rifle up and quickly clicks open the attached bipod. He rests it on a nearby bit of tree and aims it at the green tinged skeleton. No time for a good sighting. Just gonna think positive.

Huchket rifle (experimental prototype): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 Dmg (F&P): 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Oh well, no worries, no worries. I'll get 'em next time.

Delea uses her harm undead feat to send out a wave of damage against the undead creatures.

damage: 4d8 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 2) = 10
will DC 15 for half damage
this will also heal and HP damage allies have taken up to that much, uses level 2 spell slot and 1 RP

Unfortunately the Specialist just misses.

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 yellow
will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 red
will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 green
will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 blue

Yellow -5; Red -5; Green -5; Blue:-10

Red moves to take cover on the other side of the fallen tree and shoots at Sir Feignswelle with a hunting rifle.

v KAC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 6

The rest of the party are up.

Green has knees.

Entropic Strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 vs. EAC
Acid and Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Sir Feignswelle uses his flipper-like appendages to pull himself out of the trench.

Athletics to Climb: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Spending 1 RP for Entropy.

He then swings at the nearest set of walking bones!
Melee (entropic strike) v red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage (Acid & B): 1d4 + 7 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 7 + (3) = 11

Yellow -5; Red -5; Green -15; Blue:-10

Sir Feignswelle clambers out of the shelter of the trench and attempts to hit Red but misses. However he is now subject to the full force of the Shriek Reflex save DC 15. Fail = take 1d6 bludgeoning from flying debris and knocked off-target

Navasi and Tanila to go

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Navasi moves to a better shooting position, drawing her pistol and fires at red!!

tactical semi-auto pistol vs KAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
P damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Yellow -5; Red -9; Green -15; Blue:-10

Tanilia to go.

I'm out Friday - Sunday. Preposting my action now.

NEXT ROUND
The Specialist focuses his efforts on Blue.
Huchket rifle (experimental prototype): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Dmg (F&P): 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Tanila will cast magic missile as a full action on red, switching any excess onto blue.
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Yellow -5; Red -21; Green -15; Blue:-27

The barrage of magic missiles damages Red but does not bring it down.

Are Navasi and Kneepuncher out of the trench? - If so, they also need to make reflex saves

Green, Yellow and Blue discover that Kneepuncher is just a step away.
claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 slashing: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 blue
claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 slashing: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 green
bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 piercing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 yellow

Delea and The Specialist are up. The Specialist nearly takes down Blue

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Both of you made the save

Delea sends another burst of positive energy.

4d8 ⇒ (7, 5, 6, 8) = 26

Will saves:
red: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
blue: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
green: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
yellow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Red and Blue save, Yellow and Green fail

Yellow -31; Red -34; Green -41; Blue:-40

And that wave of positive energy obliterates all four of them. The storm subsides and silence returns to the valley. Yellow and Red are mostly intact. The other two ..... not so much.

Pausing for reactions

"Note to self," says Navasi. "When there are undead around, 1) bring Delea along and 2) kick back and watch the fireworks."

Navasi searches the corpses and the surrounding area.

"Impressive," notes Sir Feignswelle. "I suppose we should report the unfortunate status of the missing patrol to our contact."

"Alas," the morlamaw continues, "I am unfamiliar with vesk funerary practices to know how best to treat the remains--or, at least, what little remains of said remains."

Delea sighs and sags, visibly worn out by the effort.

"See," says The Specialist cheerfully. "I knew we could do it! Staying positive is always critical to success!"

He examines the remains carefully.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

The skeletal remains are old, dating back to the Veskarium's conquest of Vesk-6, being three wesk and one pahtra. The bodies of the patrol, or at least their dogtags, can be retrieved as well as the artefacts.

Back at Voyadris, Reha listens intently to your account of their mission. She’s disappointed to hear that most of the valley’s ruins were destroyed by the Shriek but is grateful for the two artefacts you recovered. She solemnly begins the process of notifying the soldiers’ loved ones and recovering their remains.

And that's basically it .... wrap up RP posts and day jobs please

Profession (contractor): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Day job roll for character who will be receiving credit:
Profession (poet): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Checkbox for True Savior of Tasch instead of day job.

"Well done, everyone!" Kneepuncher says as the group departs for Absalom Station. "Stop by my cabin and I'll give you the 50% successful mission discount."

Tanila needs to sign up over at the Recruitment Thread

no day job

Oh .. I nearly forgot .... boons for Gameday X

Roll a d20 please.

1d20 ⇒ 19

1d20 ⇒ 18

No boons for Starfinder anymore. Just Achievement Points!

But, don't fret. With this being a convention the Achievement Points allocated are in the Premier Event, so GM’s and Players alike will receive more than a standard game!

Profession (pugilist)+clothing+tools: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 + 4 = 15

Oh yeah ... my bad .. that was last year :)

Game reported to the organisers. Chronicles should be out either later today or tomorrow.

Tanila sighs as the group jumps aboard their starship. "That could have gone much worse. Nice job with the magic Delea."
No day job, here is the boon roll.
1d20 ⇒ 10
