ALL PCs May Act

The Darkness squeezes into the cargo bay, letting the black motes of light consuming gravitons flow around him. He has to rush by both of the strange blue lions to get into position, but once he is has found to a clear place to stand he levels his pointing finger down at orange and releases a blast of energy.

I believe his movement would provoke from both enemies. That's fine, it'll let other people get into position without risking an attack.

Graviton attunned 1 pt.

Solar Flare: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Cold Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Zint looks at the contents of the emergency locker, looks back to the group. "OK, that bother anyone else?"

A pair of tenticled blue lion things emerage from around the corner of the broken crates, they growl briefly before lowering to pounce.

"Not as much as those do." Kadef quickly steps through the door and shoots between The Darkness and the lion things. He whirls to strike with his staff.

Move as shown.
Acrobatics to avoid 1 of the AoOs that I'm going to eat. If The Darkness didn't eat them first.: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Zint shrugs off the attacks and strikes back at Orange...

EP +1, going to use that to boost this attack.
entropic strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
magicdamage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3) + 3 = 8
Well, nice to see some high rolls in this game! :)

The creatures lunge at The Darkness,
Red vs KAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Damage(p)plus fort save: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
orange vs KAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage(p)plus fort save: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The cold ray strikes but seems to deal no damage. Kadef gives orange a swift boop on the snoot bruising it a bit, but Zint gives the creature a throurough thrashing.

Durlock draws his hammer and advances towards the nearest monster.
Melee (assault hammer) v orange: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16
Damage (B): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The quorlu draws one of his experimental explosive, fiddle with it quickly so it has the effect of an incendiary grenade then tries to make it roll between the two blue creatures.

Aiming at the intersection behind the two enemies, with a blast radius of 5 ft; they are the only one to be affected.

P damage: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Durlock swings wide, but Zint firmly cleaves into the creature.

The Darkness switches to his spark knife; swinging it wildly at the beast with his long, weak arms.

Graviton Attuned 2

The Darkness slashes the creature twice taking it out, end of combat.

Zint sighs in both frustration and a little pain.
"What are these and why were they here? Would this be called evidence?"

Zint sighs in both frustration and a little pain.

"What are these and why were they here? Would this be called evidence?"

"Corpses, is what I'd call'em. And, they're here 'cause we killed them," Durlock replies, his sarcasm evident. "And they're evidence of somethin', that's for certain."

Clearly uncomfortable on the ship and still rubbing his fresh wound, Durlock urges, "Let's finish our search of this wreck and finish it."

He goes to the next unopened door and has a look.

Perception on door for traps or hazards: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Engineering to disable lock or trap, if any found: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

“Let’s just take pictures as I have no clue to what those creatures are.” The quorlu then starts searching the room the creatures where in.

"It's itching where that thing bit me. Does anyone know what these things were?"

Anyone with Life Science or Mysticism? Just wondering if the Darkness got a disease or something.

life science to id them

Zint shrugs. "Dunno. Add them to the list, let the bosses figure it out."

Okay. We should search this cargo bay for anything else these posers might have left here."

The Darkness commences rifling through the cargo hold, opening crates and moving things around with his telekinesis when he can.

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3

THe Darkness has space herpes!

Life Science, whatsit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Kadef approaches the corpses carefully and examines them closely without touching them.

Kadef knows the creatures were Akatas, N Medium Aberations. Their bite contains parasitic worms that turn people into void zombies. It is part of their life cycle. The Akatas hatch from cacoons made of the star metal noqual. Traffic in Akatas is super illegal.

The Darkness finds nothing else of interest in this cargobay other than some metal shards.

Kadef gives The Darkness the bad news, ending with, "I wonder what the incubation period is for becoming a void zombie. We'd better get you back to the station as soon as possible."

Then he records the presence of the akatas.

Zint also gives the cargo bay a once over.
percept: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Once The Darkness gets his diagnosis Zint slowly edges away from him...

THe Darkness has space herpes!

[dice= Life Science, whatsit] 1d20+3

Kadef approaches the corpses carefully and examines them closely without touching them.

I love that movie. Ice Pirates!!!!

Rree-eelo looks around “Did we checked everywhere?” They see Durlock in another room “Found anything of value? The Darkness might have been infected by the creature, we’d better get him to a medical facility quickly.”

...

I love that movie. Ice Pirates!!!!

Saw it in a double feature with The Last Starfighter at a drive-in. Good times.

"Being a void zombie sounds pretty bogus, but I wanna search the whole ship so we get paid. We can check out that starboard barracks room next."

The Darkness takes a brief rest before heading over to the other sleeping quarters.

Zint nods again, Yes, finish mission, then seal with space herpes... uh.. after you!"

Sounds like a fantastic double feature to me! While the FX hasn't held up well for either one, I still love them both. :)

Anything of interest during Durlock's prior search effort?

If not...

Durlock heads to the next unopened door and has a look.

Perception on door for traps or hazards: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Engineering to disable lock or trap, if any found: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Sorry I missed that.
The first door leads to another restroom.

The second door looks safe as well. This room contains seating for over a dozen people, all arranged facing a large screen. The title screen of an action movie plays a scene repeatedly, showing a halfling man quickly climbing up the side of a building while firing a pistol.

The Darkness investiates another set of crew quarters, These living quarters were abandoned suddenly. There are a series of notes posted on the wall, documenting a heated argument about a cleaning rotation.

Perception in restroom: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

"Nothing you'd want to see in here," Durlock suggests as he exits the restroom.

When he sees the action movie seen on the large screen, he mutters something else and then exits the room.

The Darkness takes a quick look around the crew quarters and the attached lavatories before leaving the area behind.

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Uh, take 10 for 15?

Kadef steps into the quarters. He is immediately drawn to the notes on te wall. "Interesting. I wonder how long this crew has served together. They seem to be antagonizing each other over a petty matter."

Let's see another low single digit number!
With everyone so interested in a restroom, Zint looks in...

Having finished your investigation you return Officers Athret and Lojten, when they see your injuries they are immediatly concented, "Are you alright? What happened? What did you find?"

“Dangerous creatures attacked us as we entered one of the room. We believe those are azatas and their traffic is illegal in this system. Our colleague is probably in need of advanced medical care.”

"Yeah, I guess I'm going to turn into a space zombie or something. It'd be a pretty gnarly way to go, but I bet the Stewards wouldnt like having to deal with a zombie outbreak. So those monsters are probably the worst thing they had on board. But I guess they were also forging credsticks, which is also kind of bad."

"Well we can have anyone who was bitten checked out once this is done. We weren't expecting anything so dangerous or we would have taken care of it ourself.Is there anything else of interest you found?"

Zint scratches his head. "Uh, something about navigation logs I think? Who found that?"

Zint scratches his head. "Uh, something about navigation logs I think? Who found that?"

"Told ye to write things down," grumbles Durlock.

"Found a mess o' fraudulent cred sticks with written plans t'make more," he notes more loudly. "Good reason to stick with coins or gems."

"Well xenotrafficing and forgery are more than enough to build a case on. Let's get everyone checked out before we send you on back to the Lorespire."

The Stewards make sure everyone is larva free before thanking you again for your work and appologizing for the unexpected danger. The Stewards pay your a stiepend for your work (making sure to offer Durlock hard currency) and on your return Ixthia is grateful for your effors and pleased that your are alright.

Guidance meets with your once again now that your work for the other Starfinders is concluded, “You have all performed admirably on a variety of tasks. All of these talents will serve you well as Starfinders. I am honored to officially welcome you into our Society as full agents. Congratulations. I’d also like to invite you to choose a faction to work closely with, if you haven’t already. While it isn’t a requirement of membership in the Society, many agents choose to build up their reputation by going on missions like those you completed today."

Guidance also offers you all a Starfinder Branded industrial backpack in recognition of your completion of this assignment.

As they are walking away Zint checks out the backpack, "Ooh! Swag!"

The quorlu says with their melodious voice “I am glad we where able to help. It was a welcome change to my usual mining operation. I look forward to working with the Society again, and” looking at the others “with some of you.”

As the Quorlu walks off Zint says, "I hope he meant me. I liked him!"

The Darkness shrugs at the quorlu's comment. "I don't really care how any of you feel about me, but I had fun. If anyone is interested I have a set at Pazuzu's Perch tomorrow night. I could get you in without the cover charge but they do make you sign an NDA. It's kind of a scene I guess."

The towering sarcesian then grabs his credsticks and after putting it in his jeans pocket he walks out of the room, crouching like a crab as he steps out of the door.
