Rattus fires at the armadillo.

attack auto pistol: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Watch out Aurora"

"I know. Is this entertaining? I know its ridiculously stupid. Please tell me someone is finding this entertaining... "

Seeing two of their crew get badly hurt in the fight, Lashuro draws a pistol in one of their hands while taking a step towards the Green goblin. They will shoot at the creatures flanking Aurora if they still have time, but Lashuro makes a risky calculation and thinks it would be best if they could finish off the goblin close by first.

turn 2, Solarian tracking

"Fall!"

swing at Green goblin: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
piercing damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Neither solarion's attacks hit, but the attack from Rattus seems to have drawn the attention of the S.A.C!

Both goblins cackle seeing the drow clutch her eyes, and both rush up to her. Double move from them both, drawing attacks of opportunity from Rattus, Makai, Lashuro and Aurora if you have melee weapons which unless you have a bayonet, I think only aurora and Lashuro do. Their tactics, they really want to attack a blind opponent but didn't have charge lanes available.

Round Three
Green Gobbo aka O'Normie (-13)
Purple Gobbo aka Mukmuk (-14)
Shari (-20, blinded for two rounds)
Makai (AoO?)
Armadillo Monster (-7)
Lashuro (AoO)
Rattus (AoO?)
Aurora (-33, AoO)

attack AOO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

"Hey you get back here. Beat up someone whos is capable of fighting back your cowards."

Makai moves next to some of the crew,

"Comming through! Sorry, sorry"

Her tattoo on her head begins to glow and flames show up around her hands, she targets towards two goblins and flames fly toward them

Overheat, fire: 2d8 ⇒ (7, 6) = 13Reflex save DC 15 for half

"You leave her alone!"

Move, cast Overheat

I just have a pistol in my hand?

Shari gets into a defensive stance.

Total Defense: +4 AC (EAC 21 KAC 21)

[dice=attack AOO]1d20+5

"Hey you get back here. Beat up someone whos is capable of fighting back your cowards."

This hits. Please do damage

OOC sorry. I haven't played Starfinder in a while and forgot how the system works.
damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Aurura looks in shock as her blade makes contact with her target. "Wow that was so badass. I said the cool line and I hit the goblin. Im sure they are going to love this. The daring severely wounded member of the society makes a valiant effort to save her compatriot," she excitedly says.

Green reflex Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Purple reflex Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

With an excellent burst of flame, and an desparate swing of her solarion blade, both goblins crumble, charred and sliced, before they can bully Shari.

The S.A.C. lumbers forward at Rattus, bearing down with its massive digging claws.

Claw vs Rattus' KAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

The rat finds himself cornered against an enraged foe, and his armor's showing damage.

"Don't address the camera, save it for the confessional booth," you can hear one of the ghouls murmur under their non-breath.

Shari (-20, blinded for one rounds)
Makai (AoO?)
Armadillo Monster (-7)
Lashuro
Rattus (-10)
Aurora (-33)

"Argh.."

Rattus winces then tries to dodge the armadillo's claws.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

He then shoots.

attack auto pistol: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Stellar Rush the Armadillo
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
damage: 1d6 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 11
Note: I forgot the 1 from photon attunement.

Aurora getting really smug at her latest hit just runs up to the armadillo and trips on a rock mid attack swing.

BZZT WHIRL BOTTING LASHURO

"Avast, you strange armadillo creature, stay away from the rat! He is my friend and I do not appreciate your attempts to..."

Lashuro rushes forward and swings with her solar sword, while continuing to attune.

Solarion Sword vs S.A.C's KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
SlashingDamage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

BZZT WHIRL

Both Lashuro and Rattus are able to pierce the S.A.C*'s heavily armored hide. It squeals in distress.

Okay, I don't know how to get this information to you guys in character, but with the goblins gone, you can attmept a Survival check as a move action and calm the S.A.C down and end the fight there. Or you can continue to try to kill it.

Shari (-20, blinded for one rounds)
Makai
Armadillo Monster (-28)
Lashuro
Rattus (-10)
Aurora (-33)

No survival here.

Makai looks at the creature, "Hey you! Those gobos are dead, why don't you take a breath and we will figure something out?"

Survival, untrained: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3

Well with that roll no matter what I did it would not work

Seeing that it does not go through she raises her gulchgun and fires "Warning shot!"

GUlchgub vs EAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage, laser: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Total Defense: +4 AC (EAC 21 KAC 21)

Makai doesn't get the sense that the creature is particularly intelligent. It may not understand speech, at least not as sapient creatures do. But it does understand pain as her shot tears into it for big damage!

Shari cowers, covering her head and vital organs with her arms.

The S.A.C.* attacks Lashuro twice!

Claw 1 vs Lashuro's KAC: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 4 = 12
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Claw 2 vs Lashuro's KAC: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 4 = 9
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Neither claw can find purchase under her armor!

*ed note: Strange Armadillo Creature

Shari (-20)
Makai
Armadillo Monster (-28)
Lashuro
Rattus (-10)
Aurora (-33)

Lashuro releases a Destructive Discharge of electricity which arcs across their solar weapon and hits the giant armadillo. They pivot onto their back foot for a moment to examine the creature and see if it's still moving afterwards.

Electricity damage: 4d8 ⇒ (2, 8, 5, 4) = 19

creature can fortitude save for half damage

Rattus tries to calm the creature.

Survival: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Either way I'll die, but what is the DC, Lashuro? Please include that type of stuff.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

The creature's heart stops immediately and collapses, stone cold dead.

I assume the group will want to spend 10 minutes to recover stamina. Let me know if you are going to spend a resolve point.

The wreckage to the southeast opens up to a hole, but it'll require some work to get up to the top. Either an athletics check or perhaps you have some sort of equipment that will let you get up vertical distances.

Makai keeps watching while others are resting No dmg so no RP to spend.

"Any climbers here?"she asks looking at the wreckage.

Spend a resolve
3 healing packs: 3d8 ⇒ (1, 7, 5) = 13

"No... Cant say Im good at especially in this bulky armor. "

I will say this athletics check has a pretty low DC, so if you are trained, it's a great chance to get some fan favor by taking a -4 on the check

Turning to the cameras after a short rest, Shari arrogantly says: "Despite the fact that self-sacrifice is not included in the values of my people, but a real leader should always be at the forefront of events. Starfinders, go ahead!". With these words, she is one of the first to start climbing.

Athletics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

"Hows the climb?"

Shari is easily able to climb up, leaving four Star finders on the ground. if Shari has a rope or a cable, she can easily get people up

Sorry, the DC is only 12 I believe (10 + 1/2 level + Cha mod)

Lashuro will attempt the climb after Shari, though they show off a bit first, flexing all of their arms for the camera.

Athletics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
This includes the -4 penalty to try to win fan favor

Suddenly she doesn't. I forgot that this is not a PF and that you do not have a rope in some kit.

Come on guys, you can do no worse! Take an example from me! Or throw me a rope - I'll help you!

Lashuro fails to get up. It seems their showboating was enough to stop keep them from getting up into the hole that the goblins blew out. Shari begs for a rope or anyone else to try to do something.

You can try again Lashuro, with or without the -4. The DC is very low, you were close.

athletics: 1d20 - 3 - 4 ⇒ (9) - 3 - 4 = 2
athletics: 1d20 - 3 - 4 ⇒ (11) - 3 - 4 = 4
athletics: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (5) - 3 = 2
athletics: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (4) - 3 = 1
athletics: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (15) - 3 = 12

Aurora ties to fruitlessly climb up the junk in what she hopes is an amusing but comical way.

Can I continue trying to climb up?

Makai takes out a cable and throws it toward Shari. "Try to attach it to something "

Shari grabs the cable and fixes it properly. At the same time, she shows off to the camera, showing what strong and complex sea knots she can knit (I want to take -4 to check the fastening of the cable).

Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 14 - 4 = 29

can I use Acrobatics?

"I skipped gym class! I can't get up there!"

I don't want to lose my disguise

Lashuro dusts off their hands on their tunic, winks at one of the cameras, and gives the climb a try again using the cable.

Athletics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Taking the -4 penalty again

Aurora bungles badly, loses her grip as she's climbing and hits her head on the way down, taking 1d6 ⇒ 4 damage. I'll let you stop and not continue taking damage there. If you fail the DC 10 check by 5 or more, you take damage.

Shari shows off her rope skill; hopefully something that she did not learn from her clients' movies. However, the camera zooms in and captures her intricate ropework, and a certain segment of the population *really* likes it.

Lashuro, with a dashing wink, clambers up the wall, swings with cable up and into the hole. They then let the rope down and assist the remaining 4 Starfinders. The camera crew captures the image and the clip briefly trends.

With the Starfinders up and into the hole, the Camera crew takes a set of grapplers, shoots it to the bottom of the hole-in-the-wall and calmly gets back into position to continue filming.

The Starfinders find themselves in a large cavern with phospherant fungi giving off light.

Aurora already stated she using resolve to restore stamina and I see Shari already adjusted her statline. Is anyone else using resolve?

Just as the ghouls get the last of their equipment up into the cavern, a party of dwarves enters via tunnel. They have old iron picks and iron armor that seem more at home on a historical holovid. They seem shocked and wary.

Shari shows off her rope skill; hopefully something that she did not learn from her clients' movies. However, the camera zooms in and captures her intricate ropework, and a certain segment of the population *really* likes it.

LOL! It 's very funny )

______

Shari winks at the camera. Ah, here are the ancient enemies of my people. Well, let's see if these are real dwarves by their reaction.

First, she pronounces words in the drow language that mean "so-far-not-a-slave (a common word to describe all non-drow who are not slaves yet), prostrate before me!". She smiles looking at any reaction and then begins to speak in a common language, raising her hands and showing that she does not intend to hurt them (yet).

I was joking. Guys, we came in peace. Who are you, what are you doing here?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

She will repeat the same words also in high elvish, in case the dwarves do not understand the common language.

Makai moves in front of Shari and speaks in dwarven, surprised to see here kin there

"What in Angradd are you doing here? Who are you? Did your ship break here?" she asks looking at them. Her colorful hair, and clothing as well as armor and weapon make her look different than they do.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 4 = 10

"Hi. My name is aurora. Please to meet you all. I hope you don't mind my friend there. She's just joking. We're explorers trying to figure out what's going on in this weird space station," she says very excited.

After remembering she's on television she quietly leans in to one of them and whispers,"Hey just to let you know you're on television. Don't get worried about all the people here."

I'll use resolve

"It's OK guys you're on tv. Don't sweat it!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

The dwarves look around warily. One, who appears to be the leader, steps forward and confidently announces to Shari, Rattus and Aurora. "Sequence Initated." They do not seem to be hostile, but they don't seem to understand what the Starfinders are saying.

When Makai starts speaking Dwarvish, they start to come closer to Makai. Several start speaking at once.
<"Who are you and what language are your companions speaking?">

<"Your hair is quite differently colored, what caused that?">

<"What is that?"> they say pointing at Makai's gulchgun.

The leader speaks up, <"I am Ylga Tulgarst, daughter of Ulfrodi. I speak for my clan. We are scouting ahead for our clan. What is this word 'ship'?">

Makai begins translating everything to her allies and by that to the crew.

She answers some of the questions

"They spoke common, a language spoken by different races. The color of my hair is dictated by the augmentation, there is a small technological network on my skin, hair, and eyes that let me change its look." Color of her skin change to a bit darker while her hair change to green and her eyes to brown.

Then she raises her gulchgun and aims it at the ceiling "You never saw that? Made by Ysokis" then she fires, a blast of flame flies towards the ceiling.

"And you know the ship, like star-hammer-21 or forge-fire-11." she says the most renowned dwarven types of star-ships.

Probing for reaction, want to see what they know. Makai would translate for anyone not knowing dwarven language

Have we moved into the past? Shari speaks softly, clearly not intending to knock down the barely established contact.

The dwarves yelp and dive for cover as Makai shoots the ceiling.

<"Your words make little sense to me. You set a net on your skin? To catch what? And this net makes your skin change color? Is it magic? We've heard of hats that can change your appearance but not a net.">

<"We should head back to the rest of the clan, there could orcs about, and they'd be drawn by the wizard's fire magic.">

<"They do love fire, Mookard, you're not wrong. I would welcome you and your strange companions to the Marbleheart caravan. And I would avoid using your magic on the ceiling. The earthquakes have increased as of late, and tunnel collapses are not uncommon.">

Mookard moves over to the hole opening and peers down into the darkness. <"Looks like they've encountered some orcs already.">

Makai looks at her kin and tries to wrap her head around that situation.

"Lead us to your clan then, we would gladly visit" she dodges all of the questions about augmentation, fire magic, and calling goblins orcs.

Aurora looks at Shari and says,"If we have that's an important discovery. Who knows what sort of information we could find about the past.

<"Did you meet these strange creatures in a cavern near here?"?> Ylga asks, motioning to the crew and non-dwarf Starfinders. <"We've not encountered anything like them before, but I suppose we'll see new things the closer we get to the surface of Golarion.">

Makai is shocked, she stops on her way and asks "What? Do you think this is Golarion? Are you during your Quest for Sky?"

"What these guys saying? Are they in the film?"

Makai would translate everything into common

"I think they believe it is Golarion, but I can't be sure until we reach the whole clan"
