GM Valen's Starfinder Society Scenario #3-11 Into the Veskarium (July 2022)(APL 4) (Inactive)

Game Master Lysle

Kaylee barely dodges the claw then takes a guarded step to try and get away from this thing while firing again in melee range!

The shot melts the pahtra skeleton!

Chrissy easily dodges the debris and shoots at skeleton threatening Amy.

The projectile fractures and scorches bone.

Terrain: The fallen tree is 5 ft. high. Squares containing the fallen tree are considered difficult terrain, costing two squares of movement to enter. The trench is 5 feet deep and costs two squares of movement to exit.

Hazard: The Shriek flings debris into the area at the start of each round.

I haven't acted yet this round - only rolled my save.

Rilynn hurries into the trench to escape the Shriek, then fires another pair of force bolts at the nearest undead harassing Amy.

Rilynn hurries into the trench to escape the Shriek, then fires another pair of force bolts at the nearest undead harassing Amy.

Sorry, I meant to bold Rilynn and accidentally bolded Kaylee. Good catch!

The bolts shatter what remained of one of the undead (blue).

BOTTING Sultavi Pasken - No post in 24+ hours

Sultavi considers her next action.
(Delay)

One of the undead vesk (green) mindlessly claws at the living Starfinder before it.
Melee (claw) v. Amy, full-attack: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 4 = 10
Damage (S): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Concealment<21%: 1d100 ⇒ 4
Melee (claw) v. Amy, full-attack: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 4 = 9
Damage (S): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Concealment<21%: 1d100 ⇒ 26

Then, the Shriek strikes!

The oncoming debris pelts the living and unliving alike although the dead seem unaffected by it!
Looks to me like only Chrissy is outside of the trench. Each succeed at a DC 15 Reflex save to avoid getting hit. On a failure, the PC is knocked off-target and takes bludgeoning damage.: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Piercing damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

Reflex save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 Evasion
Quickly Chrissy dives for cover.

Cha'mon Cha'mon, looses another plasma bolt, but this time at the closest of the two remaining skeletons.

"Amy, stop playing around with the skeletons already, someone might get hurt."

Bluff (Feinting Stunt): 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 4 = 32

The undead take advantage of the opening.

One of the undead (yellow) continues its assault on the nearest living creature.
Melee (claw) v. Amy, full-attack: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 10 - 4 = 17
Damage (S): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Kaylee shifts her combat tracking to the yellow skeleton and fires!

Liquidator disintegrator rifle: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 2 = 24 EAC
Acid damage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Yay much better! If Kaylee doesn't have a good angle she'll move instead removing that extra +2 to her attack. Hope it's still enough to hit

"I'm really sick of this planet!"

Rilynn squares and lets fire another salvo of magic missiles at the undead.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 2) + 3 = 8

"On the other hand, I have new respect for the Vesk for living in such awful places."

Someone is getting hurt Amy yells back at Chamon. Me!

The Starfinders quickly bring down the remaining vesk skeleton.

COMBAT OVER

Shortly after the defeat the skeletons, the storm subsides. The party is free to return to Voyedris and deliver the secured artifacts.

Reha listens intently to your account of the mission, though she is disappointed to hear that most of the valley’s ruins were destroyed by the Shriek. Nevertheless, she is quite grateful for the two artifacts that you were able to recover.

She solemnly begins the process of notifying the soldiers’ loved ones and recovering their remains.

Later that evening, she gifts a bottle of fine wine, a thanks for your description of how you so easily overcame the swinging pillars.

FIN

Thanks all for a fun run!

Amy uses her mystic powers to heal her wounds before staggering back on board the ship.

On the way back she somehow gets convinced to show off her Star Dancing to the others while in orbit around Vesk 8 on the way out-system.
Zero-G Dance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Afterwards, she re-enters the ship, through the airlock, looking relatively pleased about how it went, as she had been outside the ship although looking slightly embarrassed about the risque dance outfit that Kaylee and Rilynn had insisted she wear.

For some reason, after the show, Chamon Chamon had retreated to his cabin with a nose bleed.

Chronicle received and filed. Looks good. Thank you for running

"I'll never understand women. Rilynn, get me an icepack!"

Rilynn looks at Cha'mon and laughs, then walks away in the opposite direction.
