I think I've seen just about all of you in discord, so if anyone is interested in a discord DM group for notifications, bot requests, meme spam, and/or backup chatter when the goblins and ysoki attack I can start one.
In the interest of being able to see the entire special, I think we best skip ahead to Mission 5 and come back to Mission 4, as it looks like Mission 5 is already 60% complete, and no one has completed Mission 4 yet. I am trying to avoid Mission 5 closing before we get there.
On the other hand, Mission 4 looks more roleplay-oriented and impactful. Thoughts?

I would be good with going to number #1 and taking them in order. The only one that stands out as any preference for me is #3, but since we just recently got out of a talk just a bit ago, I think that I can reasonable wait to do that a bit later.

Did Maxamas get an energy based weapon? If not, Teka can loan her laser pistol to Maxamas in case it does full damage to these enemies. It might take a turn to hand it off, but I'm happy to do it if it helps.

I don't have a way to get it to you quickly, but I'll let you have my inspiring merciful corona laser pistol, it does 2d4 fire damage and has a range of 90 feet, so it should work out for this fight.
Okay, but my weapon deals 2d6 damage and their damage reduction is 5. Average of 5 damage vs average of 7 damage and then dr 5. Better, but I have get over to you and then move action interact to grab your weapon.

Given the DR is just 5, it is more reasonable to deal with. Still my offer stands if you want to grab the laser pistol from me to use for any part of this combat or the rest of the adventure.
The DR is only 5. What Maxamas really needs on his weapon is a fusion. Holy seems appropriate.
Thanks for the suggestion, will probably pick it up after the session as I assume we are past the point of shopping unless it can be done in-between missions.
Pretty long, so I am taking today and tomorrow off, and will start us up again on Friday. I am also taking my foot off the botting accelerator for the moment, and only planning to bot after 24 hours.
The official timeline says the Special moves on to Part 2 on April 5th. We have one Delve Mission left, and so far have been 1/5th of the successes in the special. Y'all can look at the Success tracking document to see where progress on Delve missions is currently, but it does not look like we will be closing out Part 1 early.
Maxamas will install the 4th level burning fusion to his semi-automatic advanced pistol(level 7 pistol) and the 2nd level holy fusion for 1040 credits.

"Heya.... Kneepuncher? Was thinkin' bout goin down ta the req-dude and get a thermal capacitor fur yer armor. Then ah can be a little less careful with the big badaboom."
Thinking of buying a Mk 1 Thermal Capacitor, but putting it in Kneepunchers armor for the duration of the adventure so I can soak another 5 when I fireball him. Would you be onboard with that Kneepuncher?
We've got two creature types in this fight. One, the Time Eaters, can be hit by normal weapons. The other, the Drift Dead, are incorporeal. The only things that do full damage on them are ghostkiller and force effects.

Just because I'm ready for my inspiring oration to restore the group their stamina (unless we keep doing real well and I don't need to) I have tracked the damage from the last two fights into totals here:
Arch Room Total Damage
Kneepuncher (0 Damage)
Daata (0 Damage)
Maxamas (39 damage) (18 from fight with crabs, 21 damage from drift dead)
Zargothrax (12 damage) (wasn't logged but I believe he was hit by time eater for 12)
Teka (17 damage)
Srurdez (9 damage)
If it looks like I'm off on that, let me know. I don't think I'll be using my oration just yet, but I'll see what it is like next round.
The Boss fight will be here in Wave 4. Can you all do me a favor and roll your day job rolls? Also please double-check that your chronicle information is correct.

Only if you drank your healing serums. I am not tracking your damage between fights. Teka has been, but I assume that if you need healing you might drink one of the three healing serums you were given.

I've been tracking damage and right now after, the dinosaur slam, the damage totals are:
Arch Room Total Damage
Kneepuncher (13 Damage)
Maxamas (39 damage)
Teka (17 damage)
Srurdez (36 damage)
There were still a few reflex pending for Daata and Zargothrax:
Daata (0 Damage)
Zargothrax (12 damage)
Both are looking at 27 force damage, half if they make a DC 17 Reflex save.
In any case though no one has hit point damage as of yet.
That said, after seeing Srurdez get hit pretty hard by that shockwave, I will be using inspiring oration to restore 25 SP to the party as my last action of the previous fight. I'll post in there but the damage totals I have (which if they are off let me know).
After I heal the group damage totals
Kneepuncher (0 Damage)
Maxamas (14 damage)
Teka (17 damage)
Srurdez (11 damage)
Daata (2 Damage on Failed Ref Save, 0 Damage on success)
Zargothrax (14 damage on Failed Ref Save, 0 damage on success)
Edit: I'm assuming everyone is accepting the healing even if it is more than you need. At the moment I'm only over healing Kneepuncher for 12 and Daata, if he saves, for 12 as well.

Noting that I have Day Jobs from only two characters so far.

Apologies! I just checked my chronicle information, here is my day job.
Profession chef:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
In addition I'll be using Inside Manufacturer to turn in one of the weapons we found during the adventure. Since this adventure was in the Pact Worlds that will be one check box. I'll mark that on the notes on the chronicle site as well.
