[Outpost VI] SFS #5-07: Planar Bloom (Inactive)

Game Master Mustaparta

Gil-oloth Looks through the smoke of her hooka at Luce when she asks if there is room on her couch. After a short silence a wry smile appears on the elf face as she responds
I would love to have you on my lap beautiful, but my couch is not build for that. It's build to let me go on mission in style and without too much efforts. the couch is only medium

The she gets more serious and adds but if you need rest, I can make room for you for a short while..

As Hara explains that an enemy was ready to ambush them not far away, Gil-Oloth turns her attention towards their guide. As Cavaler asks for the site of the Ambush she says. Don't worry Hara, we will dispatch these fey. I've read it in the Star. Your chances at survival are better with us than alone. Make your choice, there is only one.

Much that I'd love to take you up on your offer, it looks like that duty calls. Luce replies.

She takes out a Mrk II serum of healing and drinks it. This'll have to do for now

healing: 3d8 ⇒ (7, 6, 5) = 18

"If we are about to be ambushed.." notes Shokil.
"It may pay to take a quick breather. That mud is still caking you from head to foot."

Good point. Forgot about that.

Luce uses Token Spell, as many times as required, to clean the mud off her armour before storing the empty potion bottle for recycling.

I could have heal you. The Stars give me some power you know. says Gil-Oloth with a smile.

I did not know that. But I'm a Star Shaman Mystic ... so I have a few healing powers of my own. Luce smiles back.

Twich hopes her friends are not alerting the ambush they are on their way with all this chatter.

As Hara explains that an enemy was ready to ambush them not far away, Gil-Oloth turns her attention towards their guide. As Cavaler asks for the site of the Ambush she says. Don't worry Hara, we will dispatch these fey. I've read it in the Star. Your chances at survival are better with us than alone. Make your choice, there is only one.

"I wish you luck, but this isn't my fight. I will now leave to my spaceship and head back home." Hara says and runs away

After she has left, two creatures approach you. "Greetings travelers. I am Atrilius. Me and my friend Ritzy are interested to know why have you ventured so far into this jungle, which is territory of Calius. He is a mighty fey warrior." Atrilius on slide 4

Shokil settles down, looking down his sites. He remains still and ready, waiting for others to see if the team can talk their way out of this situation.

My name is Luce. I'm an investigator into the Drift. This planar fragment was ejected from the Drift during the Crash and landed here on the planet of Akiton. I, and my companions, are hoping there is a clue to the Crash itself. Are you able to inform us from which Plane this fragment used to belong to please?

diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + (4) + 1 = 20

"As my compatriot just stated we have an interest in the planar fragment that landed here."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

Gil-Oloth from her couch tries to recognize the creatures.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

She also tries to know if they are hostile or genuinely interested by their presence here.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

"This is part of the First world if we know anything of planes. Its portion of the Green Mother’s domain that is governed by Calius, one of the Mother’s Thorns." Ritzy says

They later warn the you that a human secretly works for Calius, and that Calius’ guards keep watch over the human’s old camp, which they use as an ambush point. Also they seem to be truthful.

Atrilius is a ravai and Ritzy pixie.

"I suggest we approach the camp, but not let the inhabitants know of our presence yet."

*nods* First World huh ... and I was guessing Elysium. Luce remarks. And I wonder if that human was the lady who just booked it outta here

She gives Ritzy a once over appreciative look.

Can you tell us more about "Green Mother" and this Calius ? What type of ambush have Calius' guard set up?
Do you think there is a way for this place to grow out of "Green Mother" 's reach? and become its own?

Asks Gil-Oloth

"Green mother is kind of god of fey creatures. We seen some of his goons there, no more than five. We were kept prisoners by Calius and he's being distracted by new prisoner, a bearded human man, so much that we quite easily slipped away. By the way, do you have a starship or other means of leaving this planet? If so, can you please take us with you?"

We have of course the ability to get out of this planet. But don't worry, even without our help, there is plenty of ships ready to sail to the stars and beyond.
I'm happy that the Stars guide us to free you of your captivity and that you're telling us that our friends is still alive, even if in the hands of this Calius.
Can you tell us more about his abilities? and those of his goons?

Deciding that overwatch was no longer required, Shokil grabs his rifle and joins the rest of the group.

"And where this bearded man is. Is sounds like the person we are after.."

"I think they can cast spells and Calius is armed with sniper rifle. The man is held about half a mile from here. Follow this trail and you can't miss. We will leave now to Great Gwaz. See ya!" the two disappear

Light from the sun filters into this small, misty clearing and dances off the dewy leaves of the surrounding trees. Three small birds flit about the clearing, diving in and out of the mist before landing atop a bloody corpse overrun with vines, moss, and various fungi. Two more corpses in a similar state rest just a few feet away, and a third rests in a sunken, stone-lined ruin. Trampled foliage and blood-splattered tree trunks make it obvious a violent struggle happened here. You spot a group of fey and two ghorans laughing.

You have a surprise round, you start from northwest corner of the map on slide 5.

Luce activates her solarion armour so she is surrounded by a red glow.

Cavaler, attempts to move closer to the clearing without drawing any attention to himself. As he does so, he takes a hand off of his crossbolter so he can draw a flash grenade from a pouch attached to his utility belt.

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

Shokil finds a nice spot to line up the fey in the scope of his rifle.

"Lets see if you can talk these ones down... they don't look so friendly.."

If one of the fey takes an offensive action, Shokil will fire.

Gil-Oloth tries to recognize the Fey before doing anything.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31 +4 to recall knowledge with Library Chip

Gil-Oloth recognizes the fey as lurkers in light. They have DR 5/cold iron, have flight speed 30 feet and can cast dimension door once per day, but only in area of bright light. They don't seem to notice Cavaler sneaking.

Botting Twich to move us forward.
Twich casts explosive blast spell.

blast: 9d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 5, 6, 2, 5, 4, 4, 1) = 32
Reflex green: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Reflex red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Reflex blue: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Reflex yellow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Reflex pink: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Cavaler and Gil-Oloth begin first turn

Gil-Oloth weapon in hands shoots at the first lurker Green

Aphelion laser rifle #1 vs EAC Flat-Footed: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 4 = 12
Damages, F&So: 3d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) + 8 = 21
Aphelion laser rifle #2 vs EAC Flat-Footed: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 4 = 23
Damages, F&So: 3d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 2, 2) + 8 = 15

Then vines of the couch starts moving around, protectiong the elf from harm.

Xenolash have reach

Cavaler flings his flash grenade into the middle of the pack of fey. I put a red circle at the intersection of the map I'm aiming for. The grenade's blast has a diameter of 10'. I'm not sure what that looks like on the map and how many of the fey it hits.

Flash Grenade vs. KAC 5: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 4 = 6
Blinded: 1d4 ⇒ 4 DC 19 reflex save to avoid the blinded condition.

He then withdraws a figurine of a dinosaur from another pouch attached to his utility belt.

These fey are immune to blinded and pink seems to be just beyond 10 ft.

Gil-Oloth's laser hits green once. Cavaler's grenade lands in middle of enemies, but only one is blinded.
Red reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Blue, yellow and green all fly toward you using double move.

Forgot Twich from first round, she can take her action before we move forward.

Twich will magic missile the bad guy who looks most damaged.

damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3, 4) + 3 = 14

Magic missiles hit green. Pink runs closer and shoots Cavaler with laser pistol.

laser pistol vs. Cavaler EAC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
fire: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 = 9

Stella is next

Stella aims her shooting stars at Green as well
ss: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 4) + 3 = 12

The green is wounded by shooting stars, but still standing. Red ghoran is blinded, so he carefully walks in your approximate direction.

Next Shokil

Shokil, seeing the green one is now in melee, tries to take it out before it can do more damage.

"Incoming..." he calls out, gently squeezing the trigger as he was taught...

attack green, EAC, snipers aim: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 14 - 2 = 24
Snipers aim reduces fire past cover penalty to -2, included above
F damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (1, 5) + 7 = 13

Shokil hits the green, who falls to ground. Blue flies behind Cavalier and swings a blade at him missing just barely.

spined blade, KAC: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

2nd round: Twich, Cavaler and Gil-Oloth

Gil-Oloth shoots once and then commands her drone to attack.

Aphelion laser rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Damages, F&So: 3d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 6, 3) + 8 = 20

The drone moves closer and the vines around it lashe at the creature attacking Cavaler.

Xenolash, immature vs KAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Damages, A&S: 2d4 + 8 ⇒ (4, 2) + 8 = 14

Cavaler, scrambles away from the fey who have all decided to assault him. guarded step He speaks a single arcane word and the figurine in his hand disappears and a Dromaeosaurid appears in its place. "Attack," he yells as he puts his now free hand back on his crossbolter.

The Dromaeosaurid immediately swings it razor sharp talons at the fey directly in front of it.

Talons + Flanking vs. Blue KAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 2 - 4 = 27
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Talons + Flanking vs. Blue KAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 - 4 = 15
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Both Gil-Oloth and the Drone hit blue. Also the Dromaeosaurid hits once, but wound isn't very deep.

Pink sprints behind his ally and casts spell on Gil-Oloth.

Mind thrust, Will DC 18: 4d10 ⇒ (8, 8, 4, 3) = 23

Stella's turn

Stella fires her next volley of stars at Blue
ss: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 2) + 3 = 10

By now, both her antennae have turned into small branching plants with leaves. Buds are starting to form.

It looks like you skipped Twich?

If possible, Twich casts slow on the nearest enemy.

Will Save DC18: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Gil-Oloth minds is wide open when the spell hits her. Blood sprout from her nose and ears!

Twich, I was going to ask you in this post if you hadn't posted. Twich can target blue, yellow and pink with slow as they are all within 30 ft of each other.

Everyone please fill RPG Chronicles link so you can get your chronicles. Link here.

After being pummeled by Stella's shooting stars, the blue looks like he wants to give up and run.

Shokil can act

With blue looking like he is running, Shokil can't see the benefit in killing it. The little halfling switches his aim, and lines up the pink creature.

Smith scanned the scene. It was chaos... and he loved it. There... that was what he was looking for. The extra reinforcing on the armor was a giveaway about a high-value target. And Smith knew just how he was going to lower its value... considerably.

Swinging the portable missile launcher off his back, the hard bitten sergeant lined up that enemy officer. Reinforced armor might help against small kinetics. But not against this baby. With an affectionate pat on the launcher, he locked the target and fired.

Boom. No officer. No ground under where the cretin had been standing. Just a big, very satisfying hole. Sometimes Smith loved his job.

Shokil squeezed his trigger.

attack vs EAC (cover, snipers aim): 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 14 - 2 = 21
F damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 = 12

Shokil hits his target and he has serious wounds, but is still able to continue. Blue flies away from fight.

Will save, yellow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Will save, pink: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Twich's spell successfully slows yellow fey, who is now staggered.

Twich, Cavaler and Gil-Oloth next

Cavaler throws a taunt at light magenta, "You're no match for a halfling with a big gun." Quick Quip, if Cavaler's diplomacy roll succeeds light magenta is flat-footed to Cavaler's attacks until the end of his next turn. Light Magenta is also off-target if it attacks Cavaler until the end of Cavaler's next turn.

Diplomacy (Quick Quip): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

He then levels his dual crossbolter at light magenta and pulls the trigger, sending two armor piercing bolts at the spell caster. "Finish them off, Starfinders." Cavaler uses Improved Get 'Em and spends 1 resolve point to apply a +2 bonus to everyones next attack against any enemy.

Dual Crossbolter + Improved Get 'Em vs. Light Magenta KAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 2 = 16
Piercing Damage: 2d10 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (1, 6) + 7 + 2 = 16

Cavaler's Dromaeosaurid proves to be a clever girl and bounds around yellow and on to its flank so that the rest of the party has a clear firing lane on it. Snarling at the fey it attempts to rake the creature with its talons.

Talons + Improved Get 'Em vs. Yellow KAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 2 = 14
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 = 8

Gil-Oloth's couch moves to be able to attack the fey with its xenolash while Gil-Oloth shoots at the one Cavaler has designated.

Xenolash Immature vs KAC yellow FF: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Damages, A&S: 2d4 + 8 ⇒ (4, 4) + 8 = 16

Aphelion laser rifle vs EAC FF: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 = 20
Damages, F&So: 3d6 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) + 8 + 2 = 17

All of them are affected by Improved Get 'Em so the attack and damage rolls for Gil's drone get +2 bonuses along with an additional +2 to the attack roll from being in flanking position.

Twich sends some magic missiles at yellow.

3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 3) + 3 = 11

@Cavaler Unfortunately, my drone is immune to mental effect and Get'Em can't affect it :(
Except if you have Expended Attunement

Light Magenta is upset by Cavaler's comment and thus flat-footed. He is then able to wound LM with his dual-bolter. However Dromaeosaurid misses its target. Gil-Oloth scores a hit with laser rifle and xenolash. Twich attacks with magic.

Light magenta and yellow decide they had enough and withdraw. "We have to report back to Calius! Slow em' down while we flee! the fey shouts at red

Stella next!

Since Red needs more motivation to flee, Stella fires more stars at it.
ss: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4, 4) + 3 = 13
