Game Master S's "A Festive Operation" [Tier 3-6] (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

Fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

The exploding fireworks triggers something primal in Zoey, and she just cowers and turns away from the loud blast.

Thankfully, Zoey gets her head straight after a few seconds.

Round 1:
TACTICAL MAP
Zoey: Dazed
Sir Feighnswelle: FORT + Go
Kaath: FORT + Go
Ysh'yaal: FORT + Go
FIRE: TBD

Kaath tries to resist

Fort : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

But not any better

does that preclude any actions for awhile?

Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

"Keep alert and chipper!" urges Sir Feighnswelle. "This room is ablaze!"

"This sort of thing rarely happens on Arniselle," he adds quietly as he flops forward and tries to extinguish the flames.
Move forward 20 feet.

He considers beating down the flames and smothering them with his tail. Then he recalls he has a fire extinguisher.
Move to retrieve fire extinguisher.

In Starfinder, Daze is typically only 1 round. Also, changed the rights on the map!

Kaath also takes a second to recover. Meanwhile, Sir Feighnswelle is ready for the fire!

Thankfully, Zoey gets her head straight after a few seconds.

Round 1:
TACTICAL MAP
Zoey: Dazed
Sir Feighnswelle: Move and prepare
Kaath: Dazed
Ysh'yaal: FORT + Go
FIRE: TBD

Fortitude DC14: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Like most of her comrades, Ysh' is dazed by the fireworks explosion!

Ysh'yaal also loses precious time trying to get her mind back in gear.

North: 1d100 ⇒ 23
South: 1d100 ⇒ 4
Thankfully, for the moment, the fire doesn't seem to be spreading, but it's only a matter of time!

Round 2:
TACTICAL MAP
Zoey: Go
Sir Feighnswelle: Go
Kaath: Go
Ysh'yaal: Go
FIRE: TBD

Having cleared his head, Kaath looks for anything to control the fire, ceiling sprinklers, console, extinguishers, fire hose, or even a curtain.

The cosmos beacons us to act quickly at this point in time.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

If he spots something, he rushes towards it...

Kaath recalls seeing a pair of extinguishes just outside Dot's area.

Fire! Zoey shouts, pointing out the obvious. She then darts past it, to get to a fire extinguisher

Double move. How do these extinguishers work?

Zoey darts over towards one of the Fire Extinguishers!

Ysh'yaal quickly scans her spells and realized she has nothing to stop a fire!

But as a Tiefling, she's resistant to fire, so she goes in!

double move

Ysh'yaal takes a direct approach! Meanwhile Zoey also moves towards an extinguisher.

Round 2:
TACTICAL MAP | Fire Extinguisher
Zoey: Move
Sir Feighnswelle: Go
Kaath: Go
Ysh'yaal: IN!
FIRE: TBD

”There are two extinguishers!!! “

With two heading in the direction of the extinguishers, Kaath uses both sets of hands to pull furniture away from the flames to avoid them becoming more fuel.

Kaath, I'll take either an Athletics check for brute force or an Engineering check to pick the highest risk items.

Kaath tries to force the future away.

STR: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Kaath has a solid plan, but the box is much heavier than it appears!

Round 2:
TACTICAL MAP | Fire Extinguisher
Zoey: Move
Sir Feighnswelle: Go
Kaath: Fil to move
Ysh'yaal: IN!
FIRE: TBD

With a fire extinguisher in hand flipper, Sir Feighnswelle swiftly turns the device onto a patch of flame in an effort to put it out.
Target area indicated on Map with blue "X".

"Should have this little flame up dashed within a few moments," he declares as he flops further forward.
Move 5 ft.

Fire 1: 1d100 ⇒ 90 SPREAD! Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 2
Fire 2: 1d100 ⇒ 24

With a well prepared P.A.S.S. Sir Feighnswelle puts out one part of the fire right as it spreads!

Round 3:
TACTICAL MAP | Fire Extinguisher
Zoey: Go
Sir Feighnswelle: Go
Kaath: Go
Ysh'yaal: Go
FIRE: TBD

"A few moments, and then some," Sir Feignswelle mutters as the flames spread.

He makes another P.A.S.S. with the extinguisher, releasing a cloud of material onto a nearby enflamed area.
Cloud now marked in blue on map.

Kaath tries again to move fuel away pulling much harder this time.

”By the Cosmos these crates are heavy! “

STR : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Sir Feighnswelle's work continues as Kaath makes a mighty effort to move things out of the way and then IN the way, smothering another part of the flame.

Round 3:
TACTICAL MAP | Fire Extinguisher
Zoey: Go
Sir Feighnswelle: PASS
Kaath: Move
Ysh'yaal: Go
FIRE: TBD

Engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Once in the middle of the fire, Ysh' tries to pick the highest risk items out of it! But not used to that type of items, she's struggling to pick the right ones...

Zoey takes the extinguisher to the fire and sprays the area with white foam. It even gets in her hair, creating a bit of a white halo.

Did I get it?

Trying to get both spots

>> Which one is Zoey?
It's the short, blonde one that always looks like she doesn't know what she's doing

Online commentary

Heads up, today and Thursday are going to be extremely slow from me. (I expect this to be my only post until the morning.)

Ysh'yaal really struggles, but Zoey grabs an extinguisher and quickly puts another flare up out!

Fire: 1d100 ⇒ 56 1d8 ⇒ 2, but the fire flares up in the exact same spot! If the fire isn't completely put out soon more fireworks may erupt!

Round 4:
TACTICAL MAP | Fire Extinguisher
Zoey: Go
Sir Feighnswelle: Go
Kaath: Go
Ysh'yaal: Go
FIRE: TBD

Kaath moves to find another piece of furniture to pull away or something to smother flames.

athletics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

I actually thought we had another PC grabbing the 2nd extinguisher, but if it is still available, he will use the above to activate that instead...

Ysh' tries again to pick up to most flammable items.

Engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

But she still struggles to find the right ones!

Sir Feighnswelle, let's do this together! Zoey says, rapidly counting down Four-Three-Two-One!

She then sprays another blast of foam at the fire. ...and stay out!

Moving quickly, the party overcomes the remaining fires and saves the storage area. Good thing too as it could have turned MUCH worse in the next few seconds. Indeed, the dice on fire spread were kind, and a PC with a fire extinguisher already is a big boon!

When you regroup with Dot, she’s already aware of the fire. She waives the cost of the gift you’ve chosen. Dot is surprisingly unphased by the fire. "Extensive insurance and recordkeeping for the win!"

Sir Feighnswelle, let's do this together! Zoey says, rapidly counting down Four-Three-Two-One!

She then sprays another blast of foam at the fire. ...and stay out!

"Stay out!" echoes Sir Feighnswelle, trying to join in with the enthusiastic cheer, but falling just a few seconds behind the rest in his delivery.

"Jolly good, that was!" concludes the morlamaw.

When you regroup with Dot, she’s already aware of the fire. She waives the cost of the gift you’ve chosen. Dot is surprisingly unphased by the fire. "Extensive insurance and recordkeeping for the win!"

When he sees the woman wave the article of clothing, the massive morlamaw begins to protest, "No, thank you. But that would never fit me..." He soon realizes, before he can finish, that the item is actually the gift that the party had come so secure. "Yes, very good! Mission accomplished, I'd say. Shall we away to Kinnik, then?"

AbadarCorp Insurance proactively prevents damage! Zoey shouts happily, waving at an imaginary camera.

Yes, Cosmo is a great sneaker brand Zoey says, hoping for some gratuitous advertising income.

Good thinking having insurance... especially the way Dot seems to secure her stuff from hazards.

Thanks Dot. she says when the merchant offers them, free of charge, the hoodie.

Turning to her comrades, she says I think it's time to go back at Kinnik's and tell them we were successful!

Since you found a Sonic Tumult hoodie, Kinnik is overjoyed, explaining "...the hoodie looks exactly like the one Celeed lost! you guys are AMAZING! Here, not sure how I scored some tech like this... but I don't want it." He rewards you with a ghost killer weapon fusion seal!

Feel free to RP. Will advance once I get home to my PC.

”The cosmos must have intended for you to have the hoodie. Do not ask why or how, but just that it is meant to be. “

"Indeed!" After catching up and chatting for a bit more, you part ways, happy with your work, even if it's not world changing....

Over the next week, you remain in and around the Lorespire Complex, celebrating with other Starfinders, competing in festive baking competitions, and even collecting the stockings Fitch’s grandchildren hid around the grounds in hopes of winning a holiday prize. Eventually, you receive a comm message from Camelia, asking you for further aid. COMM MESSAGE.

Another mission to help people! I understand why Neroo wants me to join the Society. I wasn't doing that at my previous job. And we're even paid to do that! Which is cool.

The Cosmos want us to be there.

She adds looking at Kaath

The Cosmos want us to be there.

Are you ready Cosmos? Zoey says with extra energy, making exaggerated stepping movements.

Kaath bows to Ysh ’ and Zoey and addresses them with all seriousness.

”The Cosmos was ready before the beginning of time. It has patiently waited for our path to coincide at this particular point in our existence so that we may participate in the completion of this thread of the grand plan.“

The streets surrounding Jatembe Park, where the Newspark Parade is scheduled to begin, are packed with festivalgoers dressed in bright colors and carrying prepackaged snacks and small gifts to share with the Sparklors and other celebrants. The parade route has been blocked off, and many completed floats already line the street, each more extravagant than the last. Sparklors surround their floats, dancing, singing, and socializing with the crowds. Nearby floats include a holographic unicorn frolicking amid cotton-candy clouds, a self-contained sphere of water that changes shape, a jungle scene with animatronic animals, and a cartoonish starship wreathed in rainbow smoke.

The Jeweled Flower is a gorgeous float in shades of red, pink, and white. The float’s sides are lined in delicate rows of silk and crystal flowers, surrounding a central platform made in the form of a red rose. The petals are crafted from stiff silk, soft yet firm in design. Dancing atop a hoverboard above the center of the rose is an android in extravagant, flowing attire. “Starfinders!” the android exclaims, riding their hoverboard down to ground level. “Camellia said they would send someone, though their description doesn’t do you justice!” The android slips their hoverboard under their arm and bows in greeting. “Yichen, at your service! Though, I hope you’ll also be at mine!” Despite the float’s beauty, it’s clearly unfinished, with missing flowers, an unfinished platform, and no other features.

Fortunately, the Jeweled Flower isn’t the only unfinished float. Another float, this one a hovering castle festooned with streamers and flags, is also under construction in this modest garage. Numerous Sparklors scurry around this second float, including a lashunta installing an old-fashioned cannon filled with fireworks and a familiar pair of skittermanders tinkering with a holographic projector.

There are a lot of different ways you can help Yichen.

I've never decorated a float! But I'm excited to help make it the best possible!

Says with a lots of enthusiasm Ysh'.

After looking at the work left, she says I can help doing the Automation or completing the construction with my skillset, because, don't put me in charge of safety! No my jab.

+11 Computer, +10 Engineering

Ooooh... Zoey is slightly distracted by the flowers on the float, but gets herself together and introduces herself with an extra-cheerful bow Hello mister Yichen, I am bright and sparkly Zoey, and I'm in charge of decoration!

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

She starts working on adding little flowery, pinkish details to the float. I think this needs some butterflies!

Do we get multiple rolls to try different things?

Oh, looks like your friends over there need some help as well... she says, looking a bit disappointed at the prospect of having all these unfinished floats... Can't we combine your two unfinished floats into a single finished one? Looks like you both have great ideas!

Kaath tries to determine how the Cosmos wants him to assist

”By the power of a galaxy, this shall be done!“

perception : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

”But not by lifting with your back. Sir Feighnswelle! Bend those knees! And Zoey, pay attention! That beam almost struck your head! Ysh, don’t walk while looking at your comm device! By the Cosmos! Don’t drive the float too close to the curb!“

Sorry, I meant to imply that you get ONE check each, but you can double up on skills attempted between you.

Kaath's cosmic advice works well, as the crew works more efficiently and safely. Unfortunately, Zoey overextends on butterfly placement, and the decorations don't stick.

To roll:
Sir Feighnswelle
Ysh'yaal

"Knees?!?" Sir Feignswelle snorts. Then, he sighs, "Oh, the prejudices poured upon the poor pinniped."

The morlamaw shakes his head, then puts some muscle into it.

Athletics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

"Kno knees kneeded!" he proudly declares.

Computer: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Ysht’ tries to help with adding some automation.

The party has no problems at all getting the float together in time! As you finish repairs on the Jeweled Flower, the magitech projector on the neighboring castle float malfunctions, flying loose from the float and causing a hologram of a jester to become violent!

The Sparklors flee the garage, leaving you to stop the malfunctioning contraptions before both floats are destroyed!

The garage is brightly lit with 20-foot-high ceilings. The doors in the east and west walls are closed but the garage door in the building’s south wall is open to the street. Outside, the parade route is free of spectators and dimly lit by colorful lights.

round 1:
Zoey: Go
Sir Feighnswelle: Go
Ysh'yaal: Go
Hostiles: TBD
Kaath: TBD

Hostiles: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Sir Feighnswelle: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20
Kaath: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Ysh'yaal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
Zoey: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Ysh' tries to recognize what is the manifestation.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Then casts junksword before moving closer to the thing.
