The Pegasus cuts power to the engines after confirming vector and gracefully glides into the Exemplarion, a massive star yacht and personal pleasure cruiser for Zo!, a new ally to the Starfinder Society. The Society sorely needs allies at this point, and beggars can't be choosers, which is why First Seeker Luwazi Elsebo overrode objections to ally with the Eoxian.

Perhaps, you might have thought an Eoxian ship to dreary and smelly, like decaying flesh, but the ship is sparkling clean and well-lit. The group passes both a casino, a caff shop and three restaurants and only one seems to be serving food unfit for living consumption. There are hundreds of guests and consumers on the ship, spread out over six decks.

A skeletal halfling waves one of its arms with its other arm, trying to get your attention. A vocalizer gives its voice, as its lower jaw is missing, "You're the Starfinder agents right? Been looking all over for you. Come, come, I'll take you to your meeting."

this would be a good time to introduce yourselves. You've been traveling together for nearly a week, so feel free to reveal anything you think you'd bring up in the past week.

Makai stays rather back when the party moves across the giant Exemplarion. She prefer to tinker with technology and magic than speak to other beings. But she can't hide her excitement from being onboard such a great vessel.

She is rather tall for a dwarf and carries a gulchgun on her back. Her undercut haircut often changes its color, currently being green. On the side of her head, she has Triune and Angradd symbols tattooed.

"I am Makai it is nice to meet you."

A drow woman in a formal corporate suit briefly looks up from her phone. All week she was constantly negotiating the promotion of certain artists to various shows, organizing staged filming, looking for cameramen for a documentary about one of her clients, and so on.

From all these endless negotiations, you understand that in addition to working in Starfinders, she remains a manager in the House Misraria from the planet Aposte. An easy search allows you to establish that this House specializes in the production of any kind of content (audio, video, virtual and even becoming exotic now text) with themes of eroticism and violence. Dozens of channels belonging to this house on the adult video hosting StarHab form an almost complete monopoly in this sector, the recently released virtual game "Succubus: Ascension" shows good sales, and regular streams of scenes of violence and murders from the operations of various elite units are especially popular among the youth of paramilitary cultures, like the Vesk Empire. Regarding the latter, it becomes clear to you that your companion is the producer of several agents of the society, such as a black metal singer and a Nocticula soldier-priestess named Yarameh or a Triaxian Battle Flower named Sataya who broke away from her old troupe. Videos with combat scenes of these Society agents can be found very easily on the web, and monetization through subscription may make this business profitable.

Eventually she turns on her phone and turns her attention to the undead halfling. Greetings. Shari from the House Misraria. Here is my business card (you know that she tends to give her business cards to absolutely everyone). I came in search of new talents and to see with my own eyes from colleagues how their business processes are arranged. It will be interesting and possibly beneficial for both of us. The House Misraria has something to offer to the esteemed Zo.

A white ysoki enters with an auto pistol strapped to his thigh.

Rattus takes the card. "I'm Rattus Solo. You might have heard of me. I made the Absalom run in less than 12 Parasecs!"

Manifold Host

Kasatha Solarian 11

A kasatha wearing a flowing, reinforced tunic in pale blue, embellished with stripes in dark blue and gold along all four sleeves, nods and smiles behind their facemask. Due to the custom of covering the lower part of the face, this expression is mostly seen in a kasatha's eyes.

"Greetings. I am called Lashuro. There is no greater path than the one that goes into the unknown. It is an honor to be here to explore this uncharted mystery for the Starfinders. I hope the Eoxian broadcast will inspire others to join and explore the far reaches of the galaxy themselves."


In the Footsteps of Horror ◆◇↺

"We host several different vidgame tourneys throughout the stellar year, Aurora. Two weeks from now, there will be a Gold Goblin Gunrun tourney with a purse of over 300,000 credits."

The jawless halfling takes the card, emotionlessly as it lacks a face or eyes. "I will be sure to tell Mr. Zo! that." After I finish my shift as a cocktail waitress," she thinks.

She leads the assembled Starfinders through the Exemplarion towards its aft to a massive four-story apartment that acts as Zo!'s personal quarters. He's sitting on a couch that matches his bright purple suit. He covers his mouth and nosehole with his hands in excitement as the skeleton leads the group forward. First Seeker Luwazi Elsebo stands by, next to a holographic display that's showing footage from your various training missions when you joined the Society.

He giggles, "Oooh, they're even better in person. Hehehoohoo, everything I was hoping for. Luwazi you've truly outdone yourself." His knees start to bounce. "They're so rugged. So exciting, so energized, so so, so..."

"Alive?" finishes a ghast woman descending down the spiral staircase in a low-cut well-tailored black cocktail dress. Zo! frowns at the bluntness but as he opens his mouth to respond, Elsebo interrupts.

"Starfinders, no doubt this is all happening a little fast, so let me explain. After the Scoured Stars incident, the Society struggled to support new expeditions. I reached out to numerous people and organizations for grant money, and our host was eager to help. He financed more than a dozen missions, including the one to Salvation’s End. There was one big catch..." Luwasi says flatly as Zo! vibrates in his seat. "If we found anything especially exciting, we’d need to cease exploration long enough for him to get a film crew out there to document whatever we found next. Well, Salvation’s End may look like a moon, but our initial survey of it found there’s something built inside—the whole thing might be artificial. That qualifies as especially exciting, but that was also several months ago."

"Oh, but Luwazi, I couldn’t just send a single crew. No, the Starfinder Society’s single greatest triumph ever deserves far more production value. That's what the audience demands!" Zo! wipes his nose hole. It seems to have been irritating him. He hops up from the couch and gazes out at the moon as he paces hurriedly and gesticulates wildly, "Imagine: heroes from the Society, a mysterious planetoid, untold secrets, limitless adventure—all broadcast before a live audience in our greatest production yet!” He spins to look back at the group, his lipless mouth smiling gleefully. “Live Exploration Extreme!”

The ghast tucks her hair behind her pointed ears and claps politely at her boss. "To translate, you’re scheduled to explore part of Salvation’s End accompanied by a professional camera crew and production team. You will find exciting things and be thoroughly charming and entertaining. Any questions?”

"Oh no, no, no, you can't end it on that type of note." Zo! says as he approaches Rattus, "Oohoohoho, I like this one, I can tell, he's got an attitude. This is my associate producer, Wazasha Kevir. She'll be directing the film crew that'll be capturing every tearjerking, death defying moment. Best of the best, I'd say. And I, of coure, am Zo!!" You get the sense that he just wanted to say his name one more time.

Shari introduces herself and does not hesitate at all that the topic of the meeting is completely different, personally hands over business cards to Zo! and his assistant. She is full of compliments, praising Zo! and his talent and simultaneously discussing that she has quite a few promising young "showmen of the fighting genre" on contract and that it would be possible to work with this later together.

Makai looks at Zo! and gives Luazi a raised eyebrow. "Is it necessary? What if we don't see a trap due to that producer and their camera folks?"

She looks at the production crew

"I am alive and I would love to stay that way."

"Do we know anything about Salvation's End?" I think I played every low level scenario involving it, but it does not hurt to ask ;)

Lashuro nods enthusiastically. "Well this is a much bigger proposal for the Starfinder Society than just going on a talk show and discussing exploration. Plus, I think Absalom Station already had a broadcast with the Starfinders on 'Morning Buzz.'"

Lashuro clasps their lower set of hands together. "May Weydan smile on our venture! This could inspire a lot of new recruits if we perform well. Which, of course we will. I don't usually narrate such dangerous tours, but I'm sure my experience as a tour guide will help pull the viewers in. It'll be just like Wild Beast Week!" Lashuro is referencing a popular nature-focused reality show where xeno-biologists get close to predatory animals to document them for viewers. It's mostly known for the shark cage they put some brave biologists in.


In the Footsteps of Horror ◆◇↺

Zo! is charmingly non-committal about future collaborations with Shari's clients.

"Of course, necessary, assuming the Society needs funding, right?" Zo! shoots a glance at Luwazi, who nods with blank expression.

Luwazi steps towards Makai, "I hired a team to perform a surface survey, and it was they who discovered a hatch that led much deeper into its interior. We also know that a tribe of goblins calling themselves the Exhaust Drinkers live on the surface, and we’ve clashed with them in the past. Most recently, we undertook a concerted effort to clear the tribe out from our landing facility on the moon’s surface. The moon’s gravity will feel about normal, but we’ve detected that the gravity is artificially maintained and even seems to reorient itself in some areas."

"Broadcast all over the Pact Worlds. There will be a siginificant time delay, since the signal will have to travel through the drift back to the Pact worlds, buuuut I arranged for a live studio audience who will be watching from orbit!" Zo! claps a hand on Rattus's shoulder. The ship has shops so you can find that.

Wazasha's tongue snakes out from her mouth and then quickly retracts, after Aurora's question. "Everyone on my crew is a Pact Words citizen. We're a fully licensed production company, in compliance with Pact Worlds laws and regulations, and our unlives are not any less valuable than yours. I was told that you'd be professional."

Zo! claps his hands, "No need to get testy. My crew has done several reality shows, and knows how to get the shot without getting in the way. We're all friends here."

Makai nods her head "No hard feeling Wazasha, if troubles will show up we will try to protect you. Just don't head into the fray to get a better shot" says Makai as her hair turns its color from green to red.

Well, then let's go to the dressing room and get down to business! I like this development and I'm glad to be a part of a big show. - after making sure that the business card was left where it should be, Shari is full of enthusiasm to show herself.

Lashuro glances between Aurora and the associate producer, feeling the situation out. Hopefully the sincere apology smoothed things over. "It's true, we are professionals and will look after everyone accordingly. When I left Arkanen on my Tempering, I managed to visit several of the Pact Worlds, but have not been to Eox yet. Everyone knows the planet is full of professional talent, from entertainment to, uh, research."

When Rattus comes back, Lashuro blinks at him. Thinking it was just a cosmetic change for vanity purposes, they give him three thumbs-up. "You nailed it."

Sorry for the delay some internet issues yesterday

This is a good time to make any last minute purchase and call in any last favors. The Exemplarion has weapons, armor and items up until level 5.Your boons will officially be slotted as of my next post.

Wazasha ushers you into wardrobe and make-up. While they won't disguise you, they do give you a foundation so you won't look terrible under the lighting, and wardrobe will buff out any unseemly scratches, unless Wazasha thinks the scratch gives you more a realistic look. With Ratttus, they actually add a few scuff marks to make him look more battle-hardened and ready.

Since there is a live studio audience, and many people will be watching at home, each PC will be earning Fan Favor. PCs will want to earn more fan favor as that will affect the chronicle sheet. Part of earning Fan Favor is playing to your stage persona. Each of you should give me one or two words that will describe your stage persona Examples given include charming, scheming, fickle, experienced, whiny, and philosophical. By playing into this in your roleplay, you can gain Fan Favor. This also

You can also take risks. In the eyes of the audience, the PCs are action heroes. By accepting a –4 penalty on a skill check, a PC can perform the skill in some overly flashy or clever way that impresses viewers. This skill must be one for which the PC’s deed is easily observable and for which there’s real risk, so getting away with an absurd lie or backflipping past a goblin would qualify, but recalling an obscure fact probably wouldn’t. Each PC can earn only 1 Fan Favor in this way.

There's also the booth. Like any good reality show, Wazasha will be interviewing the PCs (in this case, via PM). This will also include a skill check, as determined by me (but I will definitely let you make the argument why the check should be x instead of y), so you might see a random skill check being rolled in the game that doesn't seem to reflect the ongoing game. You will also answer questions in-character that might include gossip or commenting about other character. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE GOSSIPPED ABOUT, BY OTHER CHARACTERS, PLEASE PM ME and TELL ME. The interviews will be spliced into the gameplay in my posts and if you all consent, they might be "edited" and put with different contexts to try to instigate (some light) conflict between the characters.

Finally, as you might know, reality shows love their villains; while it might be healthiest to try to appeal to the audience, you can try to embrace your inner jerk. Snubbing the show, insulting Zo! or the audience, or intentionally attack the undead crew will lose you fan favor. If you end the scenario with 0 or fewer points of fan favor, you earn infamy BUT you also are considered to have succeeded for the purposes of the chronicle sheet. Reality TV: you can be good, you can be bad, you just can't be boring.

Everyone starts with 1 point of Fan Favor.

Still waiting for everyone to fill out the second slide in the slide show. Also, I've sent everyone a PM with the first set of Interview Questions, but Lashuro, you don't seem to have PMs enabled?

Wazasha leads you away to the shuttle that awaits. On the shuttle, there are two teams that will be accompanying you. The Production team includes Wazasha, two other ghouls, two androids, and a drone, Beepo, that contains most of the technology that allows for the broadcast relay. The other team, the camera crew, is made up of ghouls, bristling with cameras, boom mics and reflective sheets to better capture the shot.

The shuttle takes about 15 minutes to get to Salvation's End. The Starfinder Society already has a team on the surface, repairing and upgrading the starship dock to a more permanent structure. A Sarcesian leads the team to a hatch that leads deeper into Salvation's end that has not been opened yet by the Starfinders. "Alright mates, not entirely sold on this whole reality show, but best o' luck,"

The internal tunnels of this artificial moon are littered with incomplete and non-functioning drones and robots. Almost every light fixture is malfunctioning, making it dark except for random, sputtering lights here and there.

DC 12 Computers or Engineering:
The robots are of roughly technological equal to the Pact Words Technology, but their design is utterly unfamiliar. Not from around here.

DC 16 Physical Science:
The rocks that are visible between the metal parts of the tunnels seem to be natural, but there are signs of warping and buckling, like if the moon periodically experience strong gravitional forces or something large moving within the Salvation's End.

All the physical signage seems to have been defaced, and any electronic displays have been ripped out. As you continue down the tunnel, the smell hits you first. Its a dunghill at the crossing of two tunnels. There also seems to be some technological items mixed in with the dung.

DC 10 Engineering:
Going through the dung, the technological items are mere scraps that may have fallen off more valuable items. Did have to go through the entire dung pile to determine that though.

DC 10 Life Science:
Most of the dung comes from goblins.

DC 15 Life Science:
Open the DC 10 spoiler. The remaining dung comes from a larger creature than goblins, at least the size of a full grown vesk, with an omnivorous diet.

As Makai leaps to early lead with the fans, as she completes most of the skill checks, the entire hallway shakes and a loud BOOM accompanies it. Smoke pours through the hallway. "Oh, you have to investigate this. Tell me we got some of the explosion on tape."

The team rushes forward and hears cackling laughter. They see a some space goblins and a strange alien creature, about six feet from tail to snout that resembles a six-legged armadillo. It has heavy digging claws and two rasping tongues.

"ooh, people!" One of the goblins cackles in common, "Food, guns, yeah, yeah, much plunder. Mugmug like the look of thems armors. We found things to steals!"

These creatures are hostile, but they do speak common, and are intelligent beings, if you'd like to try to talk to them and make a hard diplomacy check..

Makai looks around

"I don't want to go anywhere near that thing"she says looking at the armadillo

She walks towards one of the goblins and pulls out her gulchgun. She aims and fires

Lashuro's eyes glint with anger and they pull out a Solarian sword in the traditional style of Kasatha spined swords, but glowing blue. "Stay out of our way if you know what's good for you!" They attune themselves to the energy side of electrical attunement (turn 1).

With that mental preparation taking place nearly instantly, they leap towards the green goblin and take a swing.

Pathetic fools. When I command, I am obeyed.

Shari takes a couple of steps forward and looks at armodillo. Than she takes out a grenade with an imperceptible movement and turns away from enemies as if ignoring them. At the same time, almost without looking, she throws a grenade over her shoulder. At the moment when an explosion is heard behind her, she is just putting on dark glasses, but she does not turn around because the heroes do not turn around at the explosion.

Obviously, she does this by posing for all the cameras.

Frag Grenade I: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 171d6 ⇒ 6 - vs floor AC5 | DC 15 Ref | Stunt & Strike + Swift Toss (no AoO for ranged attacks and drawing a grenade is not an action) | with a radius of 15 feet, I just hit both the purple goblin and armadillo

Some mechanics:

- Stunt and Strike: As a full action, you can move up to your speed. Whether or not you moved, you can then make an attack with any weapon you’re wielding and are proficient with, even a weapon with the unwieldy property or that requires a full action to make a single attack. Just before making your attack, attempt a skill check with one skill that you have Skill Focus with (DC = 20 + your target’s CR). If you succeed at the check, the target is flatfooted against attacks you make using this ability. At any point during the full action, you can also trigger one stunt that you know. The stunt must match the skill you are using for the stunt and strike attack.



- Swift Toss: During a stunt and strike, drawing a weapon with the thrown* property requires no action, and ranged attacks you make with thrown weapons don’t provoke attacks of opportunity (*grenades are thrown weapons that detonate in an explosive radius when they reach the target).

So. While I'm throwing grenades, I'm not rolling a skill check because it doesn't change anything anyway. I'm throwing a grenade at the intersection of squares and not at the target, so FF doesn't affect anything. At the same time, I can use my Stunt even if I would not have passed the skill test, unless the text of the Stunt itself says otherwise.

PS And with Mystic Strike feat all of my grenade damage is magical.

O'normie the Green Goblin shrieks in pain as Lashuro's sword slashes through him. is it still called a solar weapon if you do electrical attunement? His life flashes before his eyes as he sees the gulchgun blast fly at him, but he ducks below its scattering shot.

If you want to to try to get some fan favor, you could still do the skill check with a -4. Just throwing that out there.

Purple Gobbo Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Rattus, the maps are above in the same place as the sign in.

With Shari blocking Rattus's shot, he can't get a good line and misses! soft cover from where you are.

the scenario says that the -4 risky manuever has to be on a skill check, so while the spirit of the adventure probably would allow that, I think you would need to an attempt a secondary acrobatics check, like to tumble through the goblin.

Bleeding profusely and wincing from the terrible pain, Shari still remembers the main thing (for her) - the cameras of the show are looking at her. She spits, says "I just started", and right from the knee on which she was standing (like a superhero) tries to jump back in a beautiful somersault to break the distance with the animal and not get under its paw.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 4 = 12

Laser Pistol: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d4 ⇒ 4 - Fire vs EAC

Stepping back to Rattus, she pulls out a pistol with an incredibly dexterous and quick movement and shoots the monster.


In the Footsteps of Horror ◆◇↺

The strange armadillo-like creature stares at Shari and her strange posing. It doesn't seem to fall for her fancy handwork and her shot hits its banded, sparkling armor. The laser blast reflects off the bands and fires back at her.

This is one of its special abilities, triggered when someone's fire or electricity attack misses it.

Blinding retort vs Shari's EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

The laser blast loses some of its heat but not any of its light, and her drow eyes can't handle the light and she is blinded for 1d2 ⇒ 2 rounds.

Jeez, I'm getting lucky on this crits. I think that leaves Aurora with 1 HP?

This creature is apparently extremely extremely dangerous as Aurora gets ripped again. The goblins chitter and laugh, seeing their pet rip through their Starfinder prey.

In an attempt to impress the audience and protect her compartriots Aurora takes a foolhardy action and tries to attack the gloating goblin. "Ok. Im not going to die. Im not going to die. Please don't let me die," Aurora says while her attack goes wide due to the immense pain she was in.

@Shari, I think you are throwing a grenade at the wrong target.

Armadillo is NW from us, goblins are east from us.

Small purple creatures (north and south from Rattus) are, I think crew folks.

@Makai, it seems to me that armadillo is in the east (east of the purple goblin), and in the northwest there is an enlarged copy of it for illustration.

Otherwise, then I don't understand what kind of tokken is east of the goblin.

Well, I want to say that maybe I was wrong - I was generally confused by this map and I changed the text with Shari's actions three times )))

Darn you are right! I was thinking that the gargantuan armadillo is coming for us from the back! That is why I moved closer to goblins, to be away from it! :D

Well, that's why I first attacked a group of purple goblins nearby (and wondered why there were so many of them and they were so close). Then I realized everything and was amazed by the huge monster and attacked him. Then I understood everything once again and seemed to have done everything right. Well, or we'll find out )))

Hello everyone!

I'm going on a trip until July 4th. I will try to come here from the phone, but I still may not have enough time to write posts. I'm also sorry, I was obviously not active enough this week (or rather, even since last Friday) - preparing for the trip plus the start of a new business project took more time and effort in total than I expected. From July 5, I plan to enter the normal mode of an active player. Until then, bot me as you see fit.

With best wishes,
‘Eκάτη

Hello everyone! Perhaps you will read this message in different games. This weekend I'm doing a venture-agent things and running 4 starfinder games in two days (Frozen Ambitions series btw). I'm afraid that I won't be able to write game posts until Monday or even Tuesday morning (although who knows, maybe I'll find the strength on Sunday evening if I don't fall dead asleep). RL-things are not going anywhere, so on the first working day I can be very covered with them. I wish everyone a wonderful weekend as well ;)
