Kai resumes his position on top of the platform.

when the dinos come through

Kai pauses for a beat as he and his allies assess this new threat.

Kai, life science: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Kai, life science: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
just fill in the blanks for whatever the other questions didn't cover

The party knows the following about the winged cyber dino:

Seeing that he successfully slowed the cybernetic dinosaur in front of him, Cavaler does not hesitate to continue his assault on the creature. He puts his free hand back on his rifle, centers the thyreophoran in his gun sights, and fires a mini rocket.

Bluff (Improved Feint): 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 14 + (6) + 1 = 37
Rocket Rifle + Standard Get 'Em vs. Orange KAC: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 2 = 27
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Standard Get 'Em is applied to orange in round 2.

The dinobots video I meant to post last time!

Round 1

After relaying information about these cyber-dinos' capabilities (being sure to point out the electric vulnerability), Senko splits up to avoid more line attacks, drops his sonic pistol, draws his static arc pistol, and fires once at Red.

Electric pistol vs. EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Electric damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Additional electric damage for the crit: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
The weapon's arc critical effect will do nothing. Because the target is flying up 15', no one is within range of it.

-------

Round 2

Senko follows up his first shot with another, this time taking the time to properly assess his prey before shooting it.

Sense Motive (trick attack) vs. CR+20: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (8) + 22 = 30
Assuming CR is less than 10
Electric pistol vs. flatfooted EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Electric damage: 1d6 + 2 + 3d8 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (6, 1, 1) = 15
Target is flatfooted for 1 round if skill check and attack are successful.

Terminatrix's blade lands a grievous wound on orange.

Agonizing Devastation blade: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
slashing crit: 4d8 + 20 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 3) + 20 = 36

Hef strides up and draws a second weapon, a gleaming silver axe. He whips it at the big Dino, ”If you won’t come to me, this is a waste of my time.”

Returning Silver Handaxe vs. KAC + getem: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 = 19 for Magic/Silver/Slashing + W.S.: 1d4 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 5 = 10

AoO Solar gauntlet vs. blue's KAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 14 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 14 + (2) = 17

Staar attunes photon again and chases after the dino:

Solar gauntlet vs. blue's KAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 14 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + 14 + (3) = 19

But punches off a section of the pillar instead.

The denizens of the Dimension of Time fade away as they are slain, only for another rift to open nearby. Numerous dinosaurs charge through the rift, advanced cybernetic augmentations visible on their bodies.

Table GMs, Checkpoint 2 is complete.

Cavaler fires away and hits orange for an impressive 17 points of damage!!

Senko fires his pistol at red and little electric arc shoot across its body as it obviously takes a bit more damage than normal from the attack - 22 points in fact!

Senko's next attack also hits, dealing another 22 points of damage!!

Terminatrix lands a horrific blow on orange for 36 points of damage!!

Hef throws his beatiful axe but unfortunately it *plinks* off the dinosaur's thick hide, dealing no damage this time!

As blue glides away from Staar, she gets an attack in, damage blue for 17 points!!

bite vs KAC, AOO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
P damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
As Staar closes in on blue, the pterosaur is ready this time and attacks Staar as she draws in close, dealing 13 points of damage to Staar!

Staar's follow up attack leaves an impressive dent in the pillar but not the pterosaur!!

------

freeze ray eyebolt vs EAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
C damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Red flies a little further then unleashes another freeze ray targetted at Cavaler and Kai. But the vines block the attack and doesn't hit anyone!

bite vs KAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
P damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Blue bites at Staar for 10 more points of damage! It then flies a short, careful 5 feet away from Staar!

tail vs KAC, full attack: 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 15 - 4 = 29
B or P damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
tail vs KAC, full attack: 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 15 - 4 = 31
B or P damage, crit: 1d8 + 11 + 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 + (6) + 11 = 32
Angered by the devastating blow from Terminatrix, the huge orange dino swings its tail at Terminatrix, dealing 15 points of damage. But it attacks again and critically knocks Terminatrix upside the head for another 32 points of damage!!

------

Round 3
The following characters in bold may take their turn:
Terminatrix (-47SP)
Kai (-9SP)
Senko (-5SP)
Staar (-45SP, -5HP)
Cavaler
Hef (-26SP, 20% miss chance)
Red (-44, flat footed)
Blue (-36)
Orange (-61, get'em)

Kai, go ahead and take three rounds' worth of actions in your next post.

Cavaler, grins as his wall of vines absorbs the freeze ray. He then fires on the pterodactyl flying around Starr. The entangling fusion on his rocket rifle activates, magically enhancing the mini rocket he launches at the dino as it circles the lashunta. entangling fusion

Bluff (Improved Feint): 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 14 + (6) + 1 = 41
Rocket Rifle + Standard Get 'Em vs. Blue KAC: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 = 13
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Entangled: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Standard Get 'Em is applied to blue. Also, if the attack hits blue it is subjected to the entangled condition for 1d4 rounds.

With its back turned to Cavaler the elf's attack would have been deadly to the pterodactyl if it had actually connected.

Round 1
Kai uses hit and run to shoot at blue and end up in his original position, even though it is still probably out of his range.

called static arc pistol vs. EAC, -2 RANGE increment: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 2 = 22
electricity: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Trick Attack (Ex): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31
3d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 3) = 14

Round 2
Kai again uses hit and run, this time to shoot at orange thanks to Cavaler's targeting.

called static arc pistol vs. EAC, -2 RANGE increment, Get Em: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 2 + 2 = 19
electricity: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Trick Attack (Ex): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35
3d8 ⇒ (7, 7, 1) = 15

Round 3
This time Kai stays put, targeting blue along with Cavaler

called static arc pistol vs. EAC, Get Em: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 27
electricity: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Trick Attack (Ex): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28
3d8 ⇒ (6, 3, 4) = 13

Terminatrix presses hard against the orange dino.

Agonizing Devastation blade: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 - 4 = 16
slashing: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (7, 7) + 10 = 24

SP: 7/54

Staar fully attunes photon, takes a guarded step and strikes the flying dino:

Solar gauntlet vs. blue's KAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 2 = 31
Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 14 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + 14 + (4) = 21

Hef's silver axe zips back into his hand and he falls back to target the one the group is being inspired to strike.

Returning Silver Handaxe vs. KAC + getem: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 = 8 for Magic/Silver/Slashing + W.S.: 1d4 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 5 = 12

If Blue is still up: Senko moves 40' to the south and joins the party in trying to finish off Blue.

If Blue is down: Senko moves 10' to the south and tries to finish off Red.

I moved my token 10' south. If I'm attacking Blue, I'll move another 30'.

Sense Motive (trick attack): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 42
Assuming that succeeds
Static arc pistol vs. flatfooted EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Electric damage: 1d6 + 2 + 3d8 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (5, 2, 4) = 18
Target is flatfooted for 1 round if both skill check and attack roll succeed

Cavaler's shot misses blue but it does a fantastic job of entangling a pillar!

Kai shoots his pistol at blue, landing a hit that causes the pterosaur to come crashing down to the ground!! The electrical attack certainly proved extra effective!!

Kai shoots at the big orange dino and again, the electrical attack proves extra effective, bringing down the big guy!!!

Kai then shoots at the remaining dino, the red pterosaur!! Predictably, the electric does more damange to these poor dinobots and red also goes diving into the ground and stop moving!

Kai! Way to kill steal them all!

Combat Concluded!!!

Current status:
Terminatrix (-47SP)
Kai (-9SP)
Senko (-5SP)
Staar (-45SP, -5HP)
Cavaler
Hef (-26SP, 20% miss chance)

Alrighty, everyone gets 1 round's worth of actions before the next encounter begins!!

Unless I've grossly miscounted, I believe it is also at about this point the vines expire.

Senko retrieves his dropped semi-auto pistol.

Kai reloads

Staar drinks a mk 1 serum of healing, getting back to full hit points.

serum of healing: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Cavaler, looks disappointed that his vine wall has dissipated into dust, so he reloads his rifle.

Hef ties a cable around one of the smaller flying dino bodies, "Cicero would love to look at this!"

Preparing/hoping to remember to collect this 'animal' for his Collector and Examiner Boon.

Terminatrix reloads reaction cannon.

With a shriek, the last dinosaur collapses to the floor. The reprieve is short-lived, as another rift opens near the chamber’s sharply angled walls. Crawling through the rift are bizarrely‑proportioned, emaciated quadrupeds, their sharp teeth dripping with dark saliva. “Almost there!” Felise shouts. “Just hold them off!”

Table GMs, Checkpoint 3 is complete, and the Temporal Fluctuation condition is in effect.

Hmmm... Well, that temporal fluctuation condition came at just the right time! It has restored everyone's SP! And so everyone is pretty much back at full.

Current status:
Terminatrix
Kai
Senko
Staar
Cavaler
Hef (20% miss chance)

------

A rift from the Dimension of Time itself, opens up and in steps a Hound of Tindalos that Senko had previously already identified, as well as what appears to be a smaller hound! They don't look happy to see all of you because they... ATTACK!!!

Combat Initiated!!!

Before anyone can do anything, OH NO!!! Another temporal rift opens up! What now?? But looking through the rift, you see agents of the Pathfinder Society!! Huzzah!! They unleash fire arrows at the hound of Tindalos, hitting it twice for a total of 4d8 ⇒ (6, 3, 5, 6) = 20 damage!
This courtesy of the Arrows of Time condition.

randomizer: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

Round 1
The following characters in bold may take their turn:
Terminatrix
Senko
Cavaler
Hef (20% miss chance)
Red hound (-20)
Blue hound
Kai
Staar

To further identify info about the medium sized hound, Mysticism DC 20. Senko has already identified this previously with the info re-posted below.
To identify the small sized hound, Mysticiscm DC 16.

------

Senko knows the following about Hounds of Tindalos

Hef covers his eyes quickly, taking quick peeks through his fingers to get a feel for the enemies’s positions.

Looking obliquely at the big hound!

Mysticism (t) DC 20: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
Mysticism (t) DC 16: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

Any details Senko didn’t get from the standard list and definitely want to know if the small hound has a gaze attack too.

Regardless of the info he blasts the big hound with magic!

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4, 4) + 3 = 12

Mysticism (identify creature, smaller hound): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

Senko moves closer to the larger hound and uses the distraction of the Pathfinder's attack to get the drop on the hound.

Coming within 30 feet of the hound, so using preparation award to roll twice on the saving throw vs. the gaze.
Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Attacking Red
Sense Motive (trick attack) vs. CR+20: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (2) + 22 = 24
Sonic pistol vs. EAC, flatfooted if skill check was successful: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Sonic damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Additional sonic damage if trick successful: 3d8 ⇒ (2, 3, 7) = 12
If both the trick and the attack are successful, target is flatfooted for 1 round.

Hef also knows the hound is immune to poison.

Senko and Hef knows the following about the smaller hound:

Terminatrix approaches blue hound and cleaves it with huge sword.

Agonizing Devastation blade: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Slashing: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (5, 5) + 10 = 20

Cavaler, finds a clear fire lane and launches a mini rocket at the bigger hound.

Rocket Rifle (Called, Merciful, Entangling) + Improved Get 'Em vs. Blue KAC: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 2 = 26
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d12 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9

Cavaler spends 1 resolve point to apply Improved Get 'Em to both hounds. Everyone gets a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls.

in case there's anything else we can learn about these things
Kai, mysticism: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Kai, mysticism: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Terminatrix-42's blade just skitters off the hounds thick skin.

Caveler however has a better aim and the red hound bays in pain.

Kai realises there is nothing more of relevance to know. Rumour has it that while their reflexes are acute and minds are a fortress, they may be relatively vulnerable to attacks focused on their health.
Lowest save is Fort

The red pup tries to bite Terminatrix
bite vs KAC26: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

While its bigger companion gives Cavaler a Hard Stare (t). He feels his very essence start to fray.

fort DC 17 or : 4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 2, 6) = 16

Round 2 The following characters in bold may take their turn:
Terminatrix
Senko (immune to red gaze)
Cavaler (fort DC17 vs 16 damage)
Hef (looking obliquely, 20% miss chance against Hef)
Red hound (-32)
Blue hound (-4)
round 1--
Kai
Staar

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Cavaler, reels in pain at the hound attacks him.

Barely feeling the bite of pup, Terminatrix is confident he can, eventually, take down the blue hound. SP: 1/54

Agonizing Devastation blade: 1d20 + 10 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 4 + 2 = 20
slashing: 2d8 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (7, 8) + 10 + 2 = 27
Agonizing Devastation blade: 1d20 + 10 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 4 + 2 = 28
slashing: 4d8 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (1, 7, 3, 2) + 20 + 2 = 35 incl. Get em, dont know if it doubles on crit hit.

Hef moves up to support the Shirren and readies to throw his axe if the hound comes near.

More importantly, if any adjacent ally (Senko ATM) is attacked (first attack), he uses his Bodyguard Feat to boost their AC by 2. If it still hits he uses his Harm's Way feat intercept the attack. If Hef is hit from this or ANY OTHER melee attack the enemy takes 1d6 electricity damage.

SP: 1/54

Hmmm... Well, that temporal fluctuation condition came at just the right time! It has restored everyone's SP! And so everyone is pretty much back at full.

Our stamina was restored before the hound fight.

-------

"Don't try to influence their minds, they can create a backlash effect! And the little one, at least, can use sharp angles like the walls to teleport."

Senko lines up another shot on Red and fires.

Sense Motive (trick attack) vs. CR+20: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35
Going to assume CR <= 15

Disappointed by his previous attack, Senko will use his communalism ability (thanks Hef).

Sonic pistol vs. flatfooted EAC: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 = 14
Sonic pistol vs. flatfooted EAC: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 2 = 29

Sonic damage: 1d8 + 2 + 3d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + (6, 5, 1) + 2 = 24
If skill check and attack roll are both successful, target is flatfooted for 1 round

Staar attunes photon, moves to line up with the enemy and get back down to the floor, then uses her stellar rush to charge the red hound:

Solar gauntlet vs. Red's flat-footed KAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 = 20
Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 14 + 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 14 + (3) + 2 = 20

Her solarian crystal counts as magical to bypass the DR

Cavaler, rushes forward to within 30' of the hound. As he does so he takes a hand off his rocket rifle and draws a spell gem. He unleashes its mystical energy and attacks the very soul of the hound. soul surge

Soul Surge vs. Red EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
Piercing Damage: 6d8 ⇒ (7, 2, 3, 1, 1, 4) = 18 This damage also has the force special property.

Cavaler, takes 6 HP damage from casting this spell. The Get 'Em bonus from Terminatrix's attack should be doubled and I don't think Hef added the Get 'Em bonus to his action.

Soul Surge

Terminatrix lives up to their name, slicing the small dog in two.

Senko fires twice, but misses the first shot. The second shot is right on target.

Staar charges forward connecting with a brutal strike. Cavaler tries to also help, but their shot is way off target.

Someone care to suggest an action for Kai?

Round 2 The following characters in bold may take their turn:
Terminatrix
Senko (immune to red gaze)
Cavaler (-22)
Hef (looking obliquely, 20% miss chance against Hef)
Red hound (-76)
round 1--
Kai
Staar

Kai moves in and attempts to finish off the hound.

Trick Attack (Ex): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
3d8 ⇒ (3, 8, 1) = 12

called static arc pistol vs. EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
electricity: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

He'll try to make the hound flat footed until the beginning of his next turn.

Kai shoots, and hits. But the hound is a canny one and not taken in my Kai's moves.

The hound continues to worry at Staar.
bite vs KAC 16,MAP: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (10) - 4 = 6
bite damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
claw vs KAC 16,MAP: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (13) - 4 = 9
claw damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Round 3 The following characters in bold may take their turn:
Terminatrix
Senko (immune to red gaze)
Cavaler (-22)
Hef (looking obliquely, 20% miss chance against Hef)
Red hound (-82)
round 3--
Kai
Staar (-30)

Kai closes the distance, fires his pistol straight on, and steps aside.

called static arc pistol vs. EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
electricity: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Trick Attack (Ex): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18
3d8 ⇒ (4, 1, 8) = 13

Hef strides down, still averting his gaze as much as possible, and reaches out to touch the good puppy. Give him some ear scritches.

Stride, Fort vs. Gaze + Bonus + Obliquely: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 + 4 = 22 cast Fatigued vs. EAC + Get'em: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9 for Fort Save DC 15 (if hits) or Fatigued for 5 rounds, does not provoke.

More importantly, if any adjacent ally (Staar ATM) is attacked (first attack), he uses his Bodyguard Feat to boost their AC by 2. If it still hits he uses his Harm's Way feat intercept the attack. If Hef is hit from this or ANY OTHER melee attack the enemy takes 1d6 electricity damage.

Staar attunes photon again and full attacks while the hound tries to chew through her armor:

Solar gauntlet vs. KAC: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 4 = 23
Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 14 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + 14 + (2) = 21

Solar gauntlet vs. KAC: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 4 = 26
Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 14 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 14 + (2) = 17

The hound is wary of Kai, whose tricky attack is not quite cunning enough. Still, his sonic attack seems to hurt the creature.
Kai fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Kai feels the pain of the creatues gaze, but grits his teeth and masters it.

Star goes on the full attack, also suffering from the dogs piercing eyes.
Staar fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

And the dog finally does.

All around other teams of starfinders are also finishing off their own creatures from the portal, but in your area, things are quiet.

You may have an additional encounter if you wish...

Round 3
Terminatrix
Senko (immune to red gaze)
Cavaler (-22)
Hef (looking obliquely, 20% miss chance against Hef)
round 3--
Kai (immune to gaze)
Staar (-30) (immune to gaze)

Isn't the special ending today?

Yeah, the last is just an option. You would need to be very quick.

The mist within the Eternity Arch clears, as the time dimensional is shunted away and replaced by the transparent figure of a dragonkin clad in an explorer’s outfit. “I’ve attuned it!” Felise cries, her face lighting up. “The Arch is stabilized!” As the dragonkin figure within the Eternity Arch grows more substantial, Felise reaches toward her, tears streaming down her face. “Heraxia! Is it really you?” She cries.

“Felise!” The dragonkin reaches out, but as their hands near one another, Heraxia’s flickers, fading into insubstantial mist once more. “So, you’ve been investigating the Arch too?” Heraxia looks over the Starfinders assembled around the room, blinking back tears. “I see you’ve been getting some assistance as well. The Pathfinders have been helping me try to return home from here, but...”

Felise examines the archway for a moment and frowns, quickly sobering. “It’s not strong enough, is it? It’s completely attuned to your time, but you’re still wavering.”

“I can’t step through,” Heraxia says. “This time keeps pulling at me, holding me here. But I think I have a solution. The Pathfinders will put me into stasis by sealing me in a chamber within the ruins. Look for the secret door at the back of this room, behind the Eternity Arch.” Her voice grows fainter as she speaks. “I’ll...be waiting...for you...”

As Heraxia disappears, the Arch’s glow fades, the symbols carved on it freezing in place. Felise turns back to the Starfinders, drawing herself up to her full height. She takes a deep breath, then says, “Well, let’s go have a look.” After a careful inspection of the chamber’s back wall, she presses a panel, and the wall swivels open to reveal an ovular vault built of smooth red stone devoid of any edges or angles. A sealed metal and glass sarcophagus stands at its center.

Felise hurries over and, examining the pod’s controls, then quickly adjusts a few dials. The pod slides open with a hiss, revealing Heraxia’s sleeping form. As Felise reaches for her hand, the dragonkin’s eyes open. “At last,” Heraxia murmurs, taking Felise’s hand.

“At last,” Felise echoes, beaming. Through her tears of joy, she glances back at the Starfinders. “We are together again. We can’t thank you enough for your help. If you ever need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to call on us.”

That concludes the adventure! Thanks for playing, everyone, and especially all the Table GMs whose hard work made this event possible.

Artwork of Heraxia revealed on slide 1!

Hef nods at the revelations, "Kadrical protects again, even through space and time."
