GM Cellion's Devastation Ark

Game Master Cellion

FYI: After tonight I'll be away in nature all day tomorrow, but then back Sunday mid-afternoon'ish.

Work is keeping me out of commission for a couple more days. I'll catch up later this week.

Real talk, how likely is it we TPK from this?

I hope it's not that dire! Arc would never give up! :)

Also, I'm travelling tonight through the next week on vacation. I'll try to keep up but will likely be spotty. Feel free to bot!

Thanks for the heads up!

It should be survivable... though we'll see how much HP these guys have. As soon as Shocca rolls a normal action, she'll remove her own Confusion, then Arc's.

Would Arcalinte have heard Shocca's warning about closing your eyes, or was his mind too clouded at the time to be aware of it?

You can certainly close them now.

OMG WHYYYYYYYYY?!

Looks like this was a decent week to take a vacation. :/

CUT MY LIFE IN-TO PIZZA! EVERYTHING'S GOING BAD!

Once again, Shocca's the REAL MVP!

We'll see... I have a Hail Mary up my sleeve for next round...

This might be the lowest Ajithu has run on spell slots.

I'm NOT happy...

Shoot, I am REALLY struggling with leveling up this time. I boosted several abilities and now I have to recalculate my SP/HP entirely!

When did Ajithu's ability damage occur? I'm reading back and somehow missing where it came in.

Phew, solid level up complete for Shocca. She's got shot on the run for flying now. Got better at pretty much everything, with the ability score bumps. Most importantly... I realized I hadn't added her HP and SP from level 14! So big bump for her.

When did Ajithu's ability damage occur? I'm reading back and somehow missing where it came in.

Ajithu doesn't have any ability damage? Achlyss and Arc do though, from staring at the roil of alien colors.

huh, either I'm going insane or I caught the post between some editing.

I'm mostly leveled up--still deciding on a feat.

Just a heads up, I'll be on vacation until the 22nd. That means traveling and probably fewer chances to post. I expect I'll be able to keep us rolling, but if you don't hear from me for a couple of days, just sit tight and I'll get a post in once I have a free evening.

I'm probably gonna get smacked down hard for this, but it's all I could think of doing until I'm fully graviton-attuned and I can try to black hole it.

Enjoy your vacation, GM! :)

I think it's a good thing to try! Gotta flex that jump pack and melee attack!

Enjoy your vacation!

Hello! This is an FYI that I'll be away in nature (and away from internet and computers) starting Friday (5/26) evening, until I return late Monday (5/30). I will catch up on posts that evening.

Is this a shopping interlude, specific stretch of downtime (not as if I have plans for it). I assuming we're not RP'ing brief returns to Absalom Station.

Definitely downtime! You've got a couple of weeks, during which you'll have some social obligations on Hibb. You can definitely pop over to other planets with more infrastructure if you want to buy or sell anything.

I'm not that familiar with all the equipment options I have. I really need to add the ability to fly at this level.

Any favorite options for flying?

With Shocca picking up the Bespoke Echelon Fashion armor, she won't have Upgrade Slots any more. You can take her Forcepack and install it into your armor! That's definitely my favorite flying method for this level.

Without upgrade slots, I think I'll have to swap to Ultralight Angel Wings for my flight.

Missed your question before Achlyss - there's a lot of options. Force Soles Mk2 gives you constant air walk effectively, but its at your land speed. A forcepack gives you a faster speed, but has to be turned on and off like a jetpack. I'm sure there's a bunch of others.

Sweet--thanks for both options!

I do have a pretty fast land speed and the ability to boost it. That said, it might be better to do the Forcepack to keep up with Arc (and because Shocca is offering). :)

Ajithu is struggling a bit with how her visions are particularly special versus "yeah, big ship headed towards us all, obviously we could all be obliterated soon."

Is their inclusion in the vision just a hook to keep the party from bugging out to save themselves if not entirely good-aligned?

Agreed that it's a bit odd of an inclusion, but Cambrisa has a big role to play and I think they wanted to bring her in early! Also, the intention may have been to help "bound the problem", establishing the particular timing and need for the party to be on the Station, in light of what happens next. There's also a few non-essential hints to be gleaned about what's to come depending on what you ask, but nothing critical.

If you feel satisfied, we can move on to the Pact Directorate meeting.

I think Ajithu has asked his final questions.

Ha, to help prevent the Neutral parties from just feeling with the rest of the Station! I am looking forward to seeing if any of these visions are foreshadowing for the AP.

I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow with my family: we're going to Chicago! As such, my ability to post will be limited to my phone, which will be playing double-duty as a camera and navigation device, anyway. I'll be back on Sunday, July 2nd. Please feel free to bot Arcalinte as needed while I'm gone.

Sounds nice, enjoy your trip Arc!

Gevalarsk Nor RISES TO THE TOP! I always believed in him.

Sorry to be slow to post--I've had family in town for a wedding and will be busy through July 4 holiday, as well.

Achlyss, sounds like a fun time!!

I'm going to be taking a little break away from civilization from July 5th through 14th. I'll be pretty limited on my internet access, but I'll try to get a few posts in that time. In the mean time, please please please bot me as necessary. (Players or GM, totally feel free. I know Shocca tends to be the skill monkey of our group, so roll away.)

Gotcha - Shocca, if you'd like to do several rounds worth of social actions before you leave, that'd be great! Sounds like we might be otherwise slow this weekend, and it'd help minimize the amount of botting needed.

Awesome, will do! I'll pump out rolls through the 4th. :)

I am back from my Chicago trip and will begin catching up on posting this afternoon after work! Thank you for your patience.

Again, apologies for lack of posting. I'm going to try to catch up this evening, will try to post this week, but will then be very limited again through late August.

Summer plans! Ahhh!

Okay, real-talk: how bad did we screw up this challenge?

The rng was not kind in that bot'd post.

Yeah... that was a rough challenge! Thankfully RNG blessed me on the back end here.

Okay, real-talk: how bad did we screw up this challenge?

Not bad at all! It's not designed to allow you to get all the delegates on your side. You've got to pick and choose who to talk to and appeal to.

I dunno, with how low we're rolling now, it almost feels like watching a season of the Minnesota Vikings. :(

The dice were not kind.
