Angel peels off another shot.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Angel's shot leaves a smoking hole in V.I.C.T.O.R.'s head. The robot crashes to the ground with a pitiful buzzing noise.
Looking around the first thing that stands out is the writing in red on the floor.
Kaz raises a fist in victory and gives a fist bump to Angel. Lacking most of the needed skills, the vesk simply uses his perception to search and see if he can find/spot anything else.
Perception
Angel sets to work on bringing the computer online.
Kaz doesn't find anything useful. Angel does get into the system, sort of. The damage is severe. She manages to pull the Final Endeavor’s navigational data, which indicates that the ship jumped from the Drift to the Material Plane several days ago. Before that point, the vessel seems to have had no heading for several months following a standard jump into the Drift.
Chip also tries his hand at the computer
Chip can tell that the characters are written in blood, but that's about it. He doesn't glean anything else here.
"This ship is the Final Endeavor. We are trying to verify the identity of the Fortune's Fool! . Do the logs give any indication that this might be the ship or have some connection to the ship with the missing daughter?"
Kaz guards his comrades and watches the corridor.
Aldo questions if this is a different ship than the Fortune's Fool. He begins looking over the bridge trying to find the VIN number and looking for any information that might indicate that someone changed the name or hid the identity of the ship.
The party searches room to room, finding nothing. No clues, only emptiness. But when Kaz opens the doors to the living quarters, that changes.
This living space now features only piles of torn bedding and broken personal effects with just a single bed still in recognizable shape. A single intact pillow floats quietly by. Suddenly two corpses stand and approach, their visages of a tortured death plainly visible!
INITIATIVE:
They immediately close in on Kaz! As they approach Kaz realizes that he can partially SEE through them .
The madness that cloys to their bodies assaults everyone's senses.
But they completely, utterly fail.

Chip blinks once--the blink lasts an extra beat, and the 'droid's head jerks twice. Pistol gets drawn and Chip fires, as does the droid.
Ruh Roh.
Aldo narrowly avoids the confusion and uses his inspiring combo to give Chip an inspiring boost.
”Chip, don’t worry about that plasma strike from Angel! It’s just a flesh wound!”
Points
The envoy then open fires at the spirit!
Chip keeps his mind in place, and fires. His shot is off, but the drone's is on target! Unfortunately, the bullet passes clean through the undead without slowing down.
Angel unsure of reality, right, wrong, friend, or foe turns and blasts Chip! Thank fully Aldo keeps him focused and ready. Aldo then makes a shot of his own and strikes the thing! The laser looks like some passed through, but some disrupted the undead.

Round 1
The warrior recognizes a threat and moves to attack, no other thought is needed. He steps out of the way of his comrades and raises his rifle to shoot at the same one Aldo shoots.
Ranged attack
Infinity Rifle Laser
He also shouts to his friends Should I swap to doshko or keep shooting energy?
No one has given thought to Kaz's answer yet, but his laser also seems to do some minor damage.
Both close in, though one puts itself between Angel and Kaz, seeming to not care about the positioning. Both rip at the vesk with undead claws:

Angel smashes herself in the face with her rifle.

Moments after denting her nose, Angel regains her wits!

The vesk hesitates only a moment then shoots the red ghost thing point blank with an overcharged shot. He figures the laser rifle worked so he'll keep using it.

It's close, but Kaz connects with the shot. It's hard to tell how wounded the undead is.

Two shots fired, one hits as Aldo hits center mass. Sadly, there's not "mass."

Overcharged laser shot
Kaz's shot disrupts the undead enough to cause it to dematerialize into nothingness!
The undead next to him doesn't stop though. There is no fear, no morale to break, only hatred of the living:

"Kaz, Evil spirits suck! I mean, they try to take the life out of you, but know this. The living are far more powerful than they will ever be!"

Kaz, tactical retreat? Let me stand in for you.
Chip moves a bit closer, giving Kaz the invite to retreat, while he fires again
Aldo does what he can to keep Kaz in the fight while Chip very lightly wounds the undead.

Angel tries to end the remaining enemy, tracking and firing.
Chip (SP: 12/21):
Point of order: I think you missed Aldo giving Chip back 10 Stamina. Should be at full, and 5 temp HP to boot
Angel makes a similar shot, wounds minor enough that the undead barely pays it any heed.

In small, short measures the party wears the undead down. Considering what it took to bring the first one down, you're going to need a lot more to finish the job.

Aldo glares at the undead and attempts a clever feint against it!
Clever Feint (Ex) As a standard action, you can fake out an enemy within 60 feet, making that enemy open to your attacks. Attempt a Bluff check. The DC of this check is equal to either 10 + your opponent's Sense Motive total skill bonus or 15 + 1-1/2 × the opponent's CR, whichever is greater. This is the same DC as a check to feint against that enemy (though this isn't a standard check to feint, so Improved Feint and Greater Feint don't apply). Even if you fail, that enemy is flat-footed against your attacks (see page 276) until the end of your next turn. If you succeed, the enemy is also flat-footed against your allies' attacks until the end of your next turn. You can't use clever feint against a creature that lacks an Intelligence score. At 6th level, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to treat a failed Bluff check for clever feint as if it were a success
Aldo tricks the undead into defending against his own attack!
”Look this way, Creepo!”
Willing to try something different, Chip holds one of his frag grenades on his palm for the drone to pick up. he then fires on the ghost.
I suggest everyone take a step or two back, while I try this. The shrapnel won't hurt it, but maybe the concussion will.
"Hang in there Kaz!"
Angel runs over next to Kaz in case he drops.
Chip scores another light hit as the drone prepares for a new tactic. Angel rushes the shot, missing before she gets to Kaz.
