GM Blazej's SFS 5-08: Tarnished Legacy Star Sugar Superstar (Inactive)

Game Master Zynete

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Triage is too busy being distracted by attempting to put some of the stage gear back together.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

"Karalie is lying through her teeth, assuming those are even real."

"Wonders not mistaken, we got Karalie on the video surveillance from the bakery shop as well. Lita Starr glitter makeup was found on the summoning device we found on stage, and Omo was seen up in the scaffolding where one of the two devices was planted. That's enough evidence to have you all arrested. It's up to the courts to decide If you are guilty. Got anything to say for yourselves? I'm wondering why you did it?"

Omo's produces no reaction as he just looks down on the lot of you. He offers no retort or response. The same for Orgo, who keeps a watchful eye over the proceedings. Karalie sighs as she closes the comms channel as she directs more of her attention toward the situation.

Lita herself is absolutely shocked as she gasps as the accusation. She covers her mouth with her hands as she looks between Jek, Karalie and Omo. Lita declares fervently, "I have nothing to do with this." She thinks for a moment before she realizes, "it must have been Karalie!"

The superstar points directly at her manager as she holds her other hand in a fearful shock. "She's always hated Strawberry Machine Cake for going with a rival manager!"

Giving a beat, Karalie raises an eyebrow, considers Lita Starr for a moment then remarks dryly, "yeah, I'm a criminal mastermind. Jealous rage. Planted evidence. You've caught me."

Omo and Orgo do not react to the display, but Lita is absolutely devastated by this betrayal as she barely keeps her composure.

While Jek is finding Wonder, Ikmanji says “Omo, the lighting technicians asked that you not go up in the catwalk anymore. Evidently you broke one of the lights.”

“By the way, what were you doing up there? Thought you were her bodyguard.” They gesture towards Lita so there is no doubt who they mean.

——

First Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Ikmanji is a little worried until Jek lets everyone know that Karalie is lying. Really is tough to read these people.

Second Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Ikmanji watches to see what is going to happen.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (9) + 6 + (1) = 16
Vestments: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 + 5 = 30

"Research Rat, you are streaming this to the main stage, correct? Excellent." Djakar's voice is cutting. "How many minions will you sacrifice on the altar of your vanity, Lita? Karalie has certainly been involved, though I have no idea why a talented manager like her is throwing away her future for a wretched has-been like like yourself."

Djakar turns back to the camera. "Gentle Sentients! It's time for you pass judgment on this murderous and deceitful judge. Radat, what does she win?"

Research Rat returns the affirmative, following along with Djakar's declaration despite it not being true. The main stage is a closed system, but that isn't stopping him from getting this all on recording.

Although it also means Research Rat is getting far more attention as Orgo focuses his gaze far down at the camera crew as he makes it clear that there is a plot in mind to render the equipment into dust.

"Well, well, well," Lita Starr says, crossing her arms and tapping her foot in irritation. Her face twists away from both the constant smile and the despairing role. "You think you've got me, don't you?"

"Sure," she offers as she gives a dismissive gesture to the party and toward Wonder.

"Maybe I made sure that fangirl freak put a poisoned gift basket in Tsuchi-ko's dressing room, and maybe when that didn't work, I set up a plan to fry her. And maybe since neither of those worked, I'm a little peeved." Her voice is low, but seething with a building rage as she comes to a boil.

"And why shouldn't I be? Strawberry Machine Cake shouldn't even be here! I don't know why anyone wants them when you have me!"

"I'm the star! I'm Lita Starr!"

Lita stamps her foot with all the force she can muster into the ground.

With most of her immediate fury expended she looks back at you all and gives her demands, "look, I'm a very important person. Just tell people it was the drow or the dead guy. I bet they've done something bad at some point in the past, so you'd be doing a good thing. Besides, if you try to come after me, who do you think people would believe?"

Blocking out the camera she murmurs out disdainfully, "just another bit of fake footage on the infosphere."

"Like I said," she says while takes a haughty pose, "I'm a star."

Not looking at Lita Jek says

"We got another act coming up who are we going to get to replace the giant ball of hot gas as a judge?"

Ikmanji positions themself between the uplifted bears and Wonder.

They then text a message to Celita and Ziggy mentioning location and that Lita Starr is the murderer and making threats right now. They should get the stream from Research Rat.

"Look. Let's handle this like adults. Lita, there's no where for you to go. Let's just finish the show and let the Stewards figure this out after. We have plenty of evidence against you, the only question is, how public do you want this?"

"If I were you, Lita, I would want it as public as possible," Djakar says, as she moves to place herself between Research Rat and the bear thugs. "Just think of all the free publicity! The chance to star again in the public spotlight!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 + 1d6 ⇒ (20) + 12 + (1) = 33

"Shall we return the main stage, and make this whole show about you? Shall we take this to your fans, Lita?"

Looking towards Omo, Ikmanji gestures towards Lita and asks “So is she some sort of performer? Why is she so obsessed with one of Miiyu’s backup performers?”

Gus interjects “Strawberry Machine Cake is a bigger star here than in the Veskarium.”

Looking towards Lita, he adds “If someone wants to become big, they do need an audience.”

Aid Djakar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Djakar may know that presenting this on stage would likely make this the highlight of the show. No one would remember any of the bands that played tonight and would only be talking about the Starfinders and Lita Starr. While that is certainly what Lita wants, she seems to bristle at even the thought of even sharing the stage with even you.

"You think you were ever picking my stage? I was doing you all a favor checking on your meddling wimps."

With a glare she gives a stern, "Fine."

"You've brought this on yourselves."

Lita takes a deep breath and screams at the top of her lungs. A moment later Karalie follows suit, screaming as well. Moments later, staff and bands rush into the area to see what's happening.

"Help me!" Lita sobs. "They tried to hurt Tsuchi-ko and now they're coming to kill me!"

"Stay back, villains!" Omo and Orgo growl following their bosses cue.

"Get away from Lita Starr!" Zarzen, the security guard is shouting at the party

Tense murmuring follows as the rest of the crowd nervously takes in the situation. Several people look even ready to physically intervene.

However, the party has plenty of evidence on hand that can very well sway the well meaning crowd.

You all can make one skill check to try to sway the crowd. If you present a piece of evidence, it will give you a bonus on your check. Each piece of evidence can only be used once though.

Example skills might be Diplomacy to make an eloquent argument, Intimidate to fearmonger, Profession (lawyer) or another applicable profession, Culture to recite the laws that Lita Starr has broken, Engineering to explain Lita Starr's plot with the equipment, or Sense Motive to target the most easily swayed members of the crowd. You aren't limited to those skills and let me know what you do!

Triage sighs and shakes his head. "So much for keeping this under wraps..."

Engineering: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

"I'll start. Lita Starr, with the assistant of the Omo and Orgo, used two devices to send a dangerous electrical surge towards the judge's stand. Luckily we were there to intervene. If no one stopped the beast that was drawn to the rampant electricity, many people would have gotten hurt, or worse." As he says this, he produces the two wireless electrical transfers.

Medicine / mysticism would probably be good to explain the poisoning, whoever does that should probably take the syringe.

"We are not the ones who placed this electrical device to try to electrocute Tsuchi-ko and nearly killed the audience and crew in the process. Several of the crew members saw your minion Omo in the process of planting the device." And I-apvii goes on to explain the power shifter and what it's function was supposed to be, and indicates Tsuchi-ko's chair (which has the receiving device.) I am intentionally leaving the sending device and the glitter as evidence for someone else to use on their check.

engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28+???

Jek resites the laws on summoning

"Summoning a lightning elemental is clearly a violation of the reckless summoning act of 219 AG Note subsection 196.a Summoning during a public gathering."

Jek pauses and gestures with one arm pointing out that this event is a public gathering.

"Shall be prosecuted to the full amount under the law. You all saw who fought and defeated the lightning elemental, and why in the Pact Worlds would the Starfinder society want to disrupt a show it's helping put on? Lita Starr is clearly lying to place the blame on her accusers. Now let rest of our team present the evidence we have gathered."

Culture: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Vestments: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Ikmanji fiddles with their Comm unit to freely share the images of the vent and syringe.

“So why is it that the syringe used to poison Tsuchi-ko’s cupcakes was hidden in your dressing room, Lita? I know it is the syringe because I helped Triage treat the one victim of the poison.”

Medicine: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 I had identified the poison originally as well.
This leaves an opening for LavaPuppy having tracked the poison to the syringe.

The crowd begins to shift as the group produces evidence about the planted charge shifters and that Omo was spotted planting them.

Hearing I-apvii, Liraeus speaks up as per admit, "yeah! I saw Omo plant that device up there." Per hands shake in mimicry of Liraeus's shaky voice. "I was too scared to mention it before."

The lead singer of Monster Generation snarls a bit as she declares, "I thought you were just being a bloody taskmaster, but your manager has just been running about the show. I saw her with a medkit and didn't think anything of it, but she hid it away like she didn't want me seeing it!"

Wonder seems to be mostly grasping the situation as she points to Karalie and adds, "And, and, like, you said you were delivering cupcakes from a super-rich anonymous fan, but any real fan would would know that Tsuchi-ko loves variety packs over single flavors!"

Uku also adds to the voice as she notes, "I saw Lita carrying something to the judge's seats and I offered to help! She completely turned me down and said she would handle it herself! She was having us do things for her the entire show! Lita never wants to do things herself!"

The booming voice of Aldrizane comes in as she declares, "Lita thinks she is the only star the sky,"
"'Everyone should be looking at me', she cry!"
"The show is not her personal spotlight,"

They pause for a moment before getting out, "this the bands' chance for the limelight!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 12 + (2) = 22

"Gentle Sentients, this Djakar, live on the scene for DNN." She addresses the crowd. "Two different groups stand accused at this moment. One is Lita Starr, a musician known for being part of so many different musical groups in the last decade that she's gathered a reputation for being the epitome of a Diva: tempermental, jealous, and hard to work with. The other group are we Starfinders, the hosts of this gathering, and the very people who have been trying to solve the case of the poisoned cupcakes."

Djakar nods to Lita. "Lita claims that we are out to murder her, and she's been backed up in this claim by people in her employ, whose very livelihoods depend on her. We claim that she herself is the poisoner, but unlike Lita, we're not relying on hearsay alone. No... We have evidence."

Djakar begins to fill in the full story, leaving no detail out. She presents the glitter, the footage of Karalie from the bakery, the testimony of Wonder. "Did you see this glowing, wonderful fan in her glorious cosplay? Lita found her, let her in to the backstage area, and asked her to deliver the cupcakes. Can you imagine how LOW you need to be use another artist's fan to plant cupcakes full of POISON?"

Then Djakar turns to Research Rat, and signals him.

"But this is not ALL. We also have footage of Lita's own confession filmed minutes ago by my assistant, Research Rat. Play the clip."

Research Rat grins. "With pleasure, boss. Here are Lita's own's words!"

"Well, well, well," Lita Starr says, crossing her arms and tapping her foot in irritation. Her face twists away from both the constant smile and the despairing role. "You think you've got me, don't you?"

"Sure," she offers as she gives a dismissive gesture to the party and toward Wonder.

"Maybe I made sure that fangirl freak put a poisoned gift basket in Tsuchi-ko's dressing room, and maybe when that didn't work, I set up a plan to fry her. And maybe since neither of those worked, I'm a little peeved." Her voice is low, but seething with a building rage as she comes to a boil.

"And why shouldn't I be? Strawberry Machine Cake shouldn't even be here! I don't know why anyone wants them when you have me!"

"I'm the star! I'm Lita Starr!"

Lita stamps her foot with all the force she can muster into the ground.

With most of her immediate fury expended she looks back at you all and gives her demands, "look, I'm a very important person. Just tell people it was the drow or the dead guy. I bet they've done something bad at some point in the past, so you'd be doing a good thing. Besides, if you try to come after me, who do you think people would believe?"

Blocking out the camera she murmurs out disdainfully, "just another bit of fake footage on the infosphere."

"Like I said," she says while takes a haughty pose, "I'm a star."

"Stay tuned to DNN for our continuing coverage of this evolving story, and for our upcoming series: 'When a Star Implodes: The Lita Starr Story!'"

The crowd's favor continues to build as they turn against Lita Starr. Pulling an aged batch of pamphlets from his bag Zarzen calls out, "Your voice inspired me Lita when none other of these pop acts couldn't even shave a whisker, but now I see what was really behind your heart!" He casts it aside as he joins the chorus.

Lita Starr's face drops as she realizes her act isn't going as she planned. In a last ditch attempt she points straight at Research Rat's camera and screams out, "they're pulling out a weapon! Save me!"

She doesn't hesitate as she turns tail and flees out of the building while Omo and Orgo interpose themselves to stop you from making chase. Karalie just rolls her eyes as she begins to draw a gun.

It is clear that these bodyguards are not going to let you make chase after Lita Starr without first breaking through them. They are drawing for their heavy hammers and rifles to make that point clear.

Crowd Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 4
The gathered crowd is not buying it and make it clear as they are tossing cans and cups at the pair of bodyguards. They remain unaffected though under the assault.

Round 1
Ikmanji
Orgo (Blue)
Karalie (Green)
Triage

Ikmanji is able to act first!

Map

Pictures of Lita's Entourage

“Protect the others, I-apvii!” Ikmanji yells as they run after the disappearing Diva.

Earn one Entropy at start of first round, I’m immediately burning it for +10’ speed.

They then go scuttling between the bears and past Karalie in pursuit of Lita.

They haven’t acted, so I don’t think they get any AoO.

Orgo wheels around as he rushes in chase of Ikmanji. He sweeps his claws at Ikamnji to throw him down to the ground.

Charging Trip vs Ikmanji KAC +8: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

The claws fail to take hold though and Ikmanji remains standing after the sweep. "I won't let you go that easy."

If Ikmanji does continue to make chance after Lita, without dealing with her bodyguards, it will mean Ikmanji is abandoning the battle to chase Lita. He may be able to catch her now, but given the crowds, it will be easier to coordinate her capture with the full group, even if it takes a bit longer to start.

Stepping out of Orgo's way Karalie declares bluntly, "I've seen what Omo and Orgo can do. For your sake I hope you have your affairs in order. You aren't going to last long at all."

She focuses the declaration toward I-apvii as she taunts them.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

The assurance she carries with that is firm belief in the strength of the pair of bodyguards and her skill is enough to throw off I-apvii for a bit.

I-apvii is shakened for one round: –2 penalty to attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Round 1
Crowd
Ikmanji
Orgo (Blue)
Karalie (Green)
Triage
Jek
I-apvii (shakened)
Djakar

Everyone except Ikmanji is up.

Tactical Formian Venomcaster: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Piercing Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Triage summons his rifle to his hand, groans as he looks down the sights, and fires towards Karalie. "You really think you can take us and the crowd? You all are crazy!"

Biohack: 5/6
Anesthesiology Inhibitor: 3 Nonlethal, Fatigue (Or Exhausted if Fatigued)
-Fort Save: DC 16 (Negate Fatigue, Half Damage)

Jek draws their survival knife as they move closer before casting Telekinetic Projectile at Karalie.

Telekinetic Projectile
Projectile: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Bludgeon damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Given that helpful and apparently sincere warning, I-apvii decides the goon squad are probably the more dangerous of the opponents and focuses on taking them down first. I-apvii is sufficiently convinced of the relative dangers that they signal the pup to stay away from the bears and encourage it to play with the stage manager, as I-apvii steps toward the firs bear and swings their beak.

Swarm Strike
Swarm Strike To Hit-Shaken: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 = 19 Vs KAC
Swarm Strike Damage: 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 (P)

meanwhile puppy starts moving cautiously around Karalie. (Path does not provoke unless she has reach.)

"Get 'em!"

Zap! (called pulsecaster rifle)+Get ‘em: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25
Nonlethal Electric Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Djakar shoots the bear in the Red Jacket.

Karalie is taken aback by the attention she is quickly gaining. "Wait, no. You are suppose to fight the giant walls of muscle, not-"

Triage's dart connects a solid blow into her first and that is followed by a piece of equipment that connects with her head.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

"Ow! Ow! Alright! Fine I give up! I don't get paid enough to get shot with darts, be mauled, or whatever else was coming next."

She drops her weapon as she steps back to the wall, holding one hand up while nursing her bump to the head with her other.

Meanwhile I-apvii is just able to land a blow through Omo's armor and that sends him staggering backward as Djakar lands a critical blow straight to his chest.

The blows weigh on him, but he does his best to just shrug them off as he matches against Ikmanji. "You hit hard."

Omo Claw vs I-apvii KAC, Full Attack: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 12 - 4 = 16
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Omo Claw vs I-apvii KAC, Full Attack: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 12 - 4 = 15
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

He swings his claws into I-apvii and then smashes him into the wall in a rush of blows to do as much as damage as possible.

"I hit harder."

29 damage to I-apvii barring any defenses.

Crowd: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Omo reacts completely unaffected as the crowd bellows at him.

Round 2

Ikmanji
Orgo [Blue]
Karalie [Green] (13 damage, surrendered)
Triage
Jek
I-apvii (4/33 SP)
Djakar
Omo [Red] (20 damage)

Karalie has surrendered.

Ikmanji is up in combat.

Stepping out of Orgo's way Karalie declares bluntly, "I've seen what Omo and Orgo can do. For your sake I hope you have your affairs in order. You aren't going to last long at all."

“Really? I’ve seen what Starfinder agents can do. If you weren’t headed to jail, I would make a wager with you on the outcome.”

Stepping completely out of the way of the battle, he adds “Sorry, but my contract doesn’t cover this action.”

Ikmanji stops running and turns to the bear. “Thought your kind was smarter than this.”
While you have no Entropy Points, you can spend 1 Resolve Point as a move action to gain 1 EP

He then swings at Orgo.
Entropic Strike: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Blunt Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

End round with 1 EP, thus increasing my AC

Orgo isn't able to avoid the blow as the blow knocks back the uplifted bear a few inches. "You are correct though."

"I'm even smarter than the common brethren because, unlike you, I know when to take a deal, the value of a payday, and how to crack open your exoskeleton."

He draws out his heavy night-black hammer out and twists the handles. The hammer head thrums with an electric energy that arcs out in blue hues across the surface.

With a roar he swings the hammer head at Ikmanji in an attempt to overpower the vanguard in one massive swing!

Orgo Storm Hammer: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Bludgeoning and Electric Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

He swing the hammer wide and it crashes into the brutal blow of force and electric energy.

18 damage to Ikmanji

Round 2

Omo [Red] (20 damage, Get 'Em +1 to hit)

Triage, Jek, I-apvii, and Djakar are up!

"Hang in there, I-apvii! You've got this! Get Omu!"

Djakar gives 10 stamina to I-apvii, and applies another Get 'em!

"I'm even smarter than the common brethren because, unlike you, I know when to take a deal, the value of a payday, and how to crack open your exoskeleton."

“Honestly, I question your calculations.”

"I-apvii I got your back as long as your next to me."

first Jek would like to try to use life link on I-apvii if it works Jek loses 3 HP and I-apvii gain 3 HP and/or stanima. not sure if this will work depend on how Doctor (Ex) works with lifeline

Jek cast Telekinetic Projectile at Omo then moves adjacent to I-apvii to act as a bodyguard giving I-apvii +2 AC and Jek -2 AC.
if I-apvii is attacked Jek will react with bodyguard

Telekinetic Projectile
Projectile +1 get em: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 1 = 16
Bludgeon damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

The first hit catches I-apvii by surprise, the second hit however mostly blows apart a cloud of nanites as they dissolve and shift I-apvii's mass out of the way.

Between that, and Djakar's encouragement, and the Urog's inate toughness, I-apvii shrugs off the damage with barely a scratch.

I haven't taken HP damage yet, so I don't think I am a legal target for Life Link

(Telepathically)"Triage, would you please slow this oaf down so I can teach him a lesson?"

(Delay the remaining till after Triage (hopefully) shoots Omo with an AC inhibitor)

"I respect you too much to hold back. Please do not die."

Swarm Strike
Swarm Strike To Hit, FA, Get Em: 1d20 + 8 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 - 4 + 1 = 12
Swarm Strike Damage: 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 (B)
Swarm Strike To Hit, FA, Get Em: 1d20 + 8 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 4 + 1 = 11
Swarm Strike Damage: 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 (B)

Unfortunately it appears the blows rattled I-apvii more than they let on...

The pup moves up to Karalie, and as she seems dejected it cocks it's head and whines sympathetically, expecting pets, as it knows that sometimes cheers people up...

Tactical Formian Venomcaster: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24
Piercing Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"I'll do ya one better! Just stay in there!" For the first time, Triage pulls out a small syringe and slips inside two separate vials that fit into either side. He loads it into his gun and fires, aiming for the bear's exposed neck.

Spark of Ingenuity

Basic Inhibitor:
-2 to Target's AC
AND
Minor Inhibitor (Does Not Count Towards Biohack #):
-1 to Attack Rolls
Biohacks 4/6

Jek, I might be wrong, but I do believe there is a clarification on how Doctor works such that you do need to heal HP damage to use it. So if I-apvii had 1 HP damage, your lifelink would activate and heal 1 HP and 2 SP.

Karalie absently pets the pup as she absently comments how maybe she should have stuck with the family business.

The syringe dart from Triage digs into Omo's hide and slows him by a few steps. While he is still able to avoid I-apvii's blows, it is just enough to allow Jek's projectile to connect. Omo takes a moment to shake off the blows and brushes the dart away.

Looking down at I-apvii, "I can't say the same in either respect."

Omo Claw vs I-apvii KAC, Full Attack, Dart: 1d20 + 12 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 4 - 1 = 9
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Omo Claw vs I-apvii KAC, Full Attack, Dart: 1d20 + 12 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 4 - 1 = 9
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

He swings down with full force using both of his claws. However the injections and wounds have left a severe impact on Omo's posture as the claws dig into the ground.

Omo huffs as he tries to shrug off the drained stamina.

Crowd: 1d20 ⇒ 12
Omo or Orgo: 1d2 ⇒ 1

The crowd doesn't let up as a damaged guitar from Monster Generation slams into a Omo with a musical wail.

The crowd has provided some harrying fire against Omo granting +2 to the next attack against Omo.

Ikmanji is up!

Ikmanji gathers power into one of their tentacles and slap at Orgo with it. Well, you think that is who they were aiming at…
Spending 1 EP for damage
Entropic Strike: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Blunt Damage, EP: 1d4 + 6 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (1) = 8

“Looks like your partner isn’t doing so well. Are you brothers?”

Orgo sidesteps the strike and continues to step around Ikmanji to dictate their escape routes. "Brother? No. Just coworkers. Our job is to put our life on the line for our client."

Orgo Storm Hammer vs Ikmanji KAC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Bludgeoning and Electric Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

12 damage to Ikmanji.

He swings his hammer Ikmanji and tries to force them into the wall as he glowers, "do you think you have the same resolve?"

However, Ikmanji is correct about how difficult a time Omo is having with the rest of the group. He starts to manage to avoid I-apvii's attacks, but one final sweep of the swarm is able to barely connnect; taking advantage of the distraction of the crowd, Djakar's direction, and Triage's biohack.

The blow connects and has Omo is swaying as he struggles to keep standing. Despite that he bare his fangs and roars as he continues fighting, however the next shot will likely fell him.

Biohack 3/6
Anesthesiology Booster: DR1/- and +2 Enhancement bonus to saves v. Pain Effects.

Telekinetic Projectile

If Omo is still up when Jek moves, if Jek is hit with an AoA Jek Jek reacts with Destructive Rebuke

Destructive Rebuke: 1d6 ⇒ 5

"Brother? No. Just coworkers. Our job is to put our life on the line for our client."

He swings his hammer Ikmanji and tries to force them into the wall as he glowers, "do you think you have the same resolve?"

“It is just a job for you. I’m saving people’s lives. Yes, I’ve got better reasons for fighting here than you. The crowd is likely to agree with me.”

“Have you figured out how you will get paid for this? You better have gotten some of the money up front.” They gesture briefly with one of their tentacles in the direction that Lita fled.

Deciding that Ik could use more help, Djakar moves closer and redirects her Get 'em to Orgo.

Next turn I will be in range for that Inspiring Boost.

"Get 'em!"

Then to Omo she says, "Lita does not value anyone but herself. Don't die for her."

Jek is able to spend a bit of lighting into Omo and that is just enough to topple him over.

"Morals or client. You can't focus on both." Orgo gives a glare as he watches Omo collapse on the other side of the backstage.

He clasps his hands around the hammer tighter as he declares, "she is just the client. I never placed any trust in her at all."

Crowd: 1d20 ⇒ 9

The crowd helps clear the way as only one of the bodyguards is left standing. However he shows resolve as he stands firm in blocking the way forward.

Ikmanji is up.

Ikmanji says “Heck of a way to make a living. Guess you chose it though.”

Saying that, they wind up another tentacle attack.
Entropic Strike, Get Em: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 = 18
Blunt Damage: 1d4 + 6 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (3) = 10

"I did. If I turned my back on it now, I would be nothing more than a sniveling cub."

Putting his force behind a pair of swings Orgo tries to slam his hammer into the ground to crush his opponent.

Orgo Storm Hammer vs Ikmanji KAC, Full Attack: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 12 - 4 = 18
Bludgeoning and Electric Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Orgo Storm Hammer vs Ikmanji KAC, Full Attack: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 4 = 19
Bludgeoning and Electric Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

The first barely misses because of the entropic power that deflects the attack, but the second manages to break through Ikmanji's defenses.

13 damage to Ikmanji
