Piloting, Evade: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

"There! I think I got all that toffee out. Seriously, who eats at the controls? And toffee?! Usually that's served in bite-sized pieces, so there's no reason for it to be in the controls!" It seems Anock is leaning so hard into her excuse for failing last time that she may talk herself into actually believing her tall tale.

Koun is up!

[b]platform 53 damage[/ooc]

"Come here you little &*%^%!" Kuon waits for the enemy ship to get back into range then shoots!
coilgun: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 = 23damage: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 1) = 7

"Language!" Anock imperiously chides Kuon.

"That had to hurt! Great shot Kuon, and well done Quig, for diverting more punch to that hit!"

Quig tries to boost the guns

"Ha! You're mine now!" Kuon exclaimed as his previous shot hits. He excitedly fires at theship.

calling it here in the interest of time

Pockets aim is true. The shot hits. The platform fizzles and shuts down. The drones power down and drift in space motionless.

Combat over

Searching the debris the Starfinders find part of its tracking system.
While old, it contains some unique algorithms that current Society
starship designers might find interesting.

- - -

The Starfinders guide their ship to Elytrio and slow down as they approach the planet.

See, The House says, this is why you never bet against the House. I have to specifically call out Pockets for the leadership qualities he has shown guiding us through this challenging engagement. I believe we have now amply discouraged the weapons system from providing further impairment to progress, so our approach is free to make contact with the no-doubt nutrient rich soil of the surface!

"Great job everyone, Here's your well earned drinks. I'd like to make a toast to never betting against The House, a vesk in combat, nice shooting Kuon. Anock great job flying the ship, and thank you Quig for making our shots count more."[/b]

Pockets raise his glass and drinks.

"Now I need to do a safety inspection to see how many unauthorized modifications new sustained."

Pockets take out a wrench and start working on repairs, checking each one off on his safety list as it's done.

Profession maintenance worker with tools: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

"Quig can you give me a hand with the shields?"
When alone with Quig so rest of the crew can't hear. Pockets looks up the crew list on his datapad.

"I didn't see you on the crew list. One ysoki to another, I'm not going to ask how you snuck on the ship, whatever gets the job done. Glad you showed up when you did. I just altered the crew records to include you and got you on the payroll too."

"Yes, yes. Great job not letting some drones kill us, everyone. I'm not interested in smelling space during my last moment alive. Now! It's time to thoroughly clean that console!" Anock tosses back her drink quickly, without letting any part of her mouth touch the glass, and begins sanitizing the pilot's workstation while everyone else helps with repairs.

Upon approaching the planet, Anock tries to guess at what sorts of environments to expect there.

She's looking for colors, textures, landmasses/seas/clouds, etc.

"Where should we touch down? Can anyone do a scan to see where the technological centers are?"

While checking the sensors for damage, Pockets scans the plant as a test and looks for a landing place or other information.

"Testing the scanners, they look ok to me. I don't see any battle damage. Let's see what they show..."

Computers: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

"Yes, yes. Great job not letting some drones kill us, everyone. I'm not interested in smelling space during my last moment alive.

You know what they say: 'In space, no-one can smell your stink!' The House crudely says, without trying to be crude.

"I didn't see you on the crew list. One ysoki to another, I'm not going to ask how you snuck on the ship, whatever gets the job done. Glad you showed up when you did. I just altered the crew records to include you and got you on the payroll too."

See, it says here: 'Transport consultant'. That sounds about right, doesn't it? The House says, always ready to lend a helping hand.

"Every ship needs a transport consultant, if they know it or not."

Kuon glares at the weapons station. "What kind of shooting was that?!" the vesk furiously berates himself at his somewhat poor showing. It takes a few minutes but the soldier is able to shake himself.

"I need more practice. Anyway, what do we do next?"

Quig tries to help with the shields

"I'm here.."

Engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

assuming you land

As the ship enters Elytrio’s atmosphere, the computer blares out "Warning large powerful force field surrounding the city. It extends to
a half-mile radius around it. Suitable landing site nearby"

assuming you land nearby

You exit the ship and trudge toward the nearest edge of the force field.

Perception checks

Pockets switches his name tag back to "SAFETY INSPECTOR." Before heading out, Pockets check to ensure the planet's atmosphere is safe to breathe. Then grabs his datapad as he steps out to have a look outside.

"Breathable atmosphere check." Pockets takes a careful first step from the ship. "Stable ground check, Ok looks safe to proceed."

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

"Excellent. Good to know." Anock follows behind Pockets, assuming he's got everything under control and she doesn't have to do anything now that she's landed the ship after doing all that piloting work. (Well, okay, that's not entirely true. The others helped some. And she does glance around a little bit.)

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

It's the ground, and it's on the right side of our feet. Do any of you have a good ol' dosimeter. We'd want to make sure the traces of radiation are just that, because I like my limb count just the way it is!

Anything we can do with the ship's scanners?

"My radiation badge will warn me before I am exposed to radiation. Did you pick one up before we left? If not, I suggest you follow me carefully." Anock holds her head high (it's self respect, not snootiness!) as she continues walking.

Anything we can do with the ship's scanners?

it's assumed you land, the atomosphere is "earth normal" on slide 2 place yourself as you want

A large creature like a strong lion jumps out of the sand.

Combat

[b]switch can act[/ooc]

Seeing a large cat-like creature, Pocket's natural instinct kicks in, draws his Lazor pistol, and shoots. and in a panicked voice, yells,
"arm yourselves. It's some kind of cat!"

Azmuth Lazer Pistol: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Damage F: 1d4 ⇒ 3

"Why are there always cats? How is that such a successful evolutionary form?" Anock wonders aloud, thinking of the superiority of insectile forms.

"Why are there always cats? How is that such a successful evolutionary form?" Anock wonders aloud, thinking of the superiority of insectile forms.

Pockets acts quickly and his shot hits.

The creature roars then moves.

DC 12 will save

House: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

The House fires his pistol

attack: 1d20 ⇒ 6

But he misses.

pockets this is round 1 and you can act again

Rest of the Pathfinders are up

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Hearing the large cats roar, Pockets runs behind Kuon and fires his pistol at the cat while yelling, "It's a cat! Everyone shoots the cat quickly before it eats us all! I knew we should have brought the coil gun from the ship!"

Trick Attack Bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Azmuth Lazer Pistol: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Damage F: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Trick Attack Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Kuon fires his light reaction cannon at the creature. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 damage(P): 1d10 ⇒ 2

With a clicking noise that evokes clicking one's tongue, Anock flicks her wrists slightly. A faint cloud spreads around and in front of her, spreading to fill some of the space between the group and the cat-thing. Almost lazily, she pulls out her azimuth laser pistol. "Don't wet yourself, Pockets. It's outnumbered, and we have guns."

Two move actions. The area that her nanite Cloud Array takes up is marked in blue. Right now it affects nothing, so you can act like it's not there, or RP the heck out of it.

let's pause till Monday

The creature is wary of the swarm and moves around it. It sniffs the air as it approaches. It seems that it merely has a scratch from the attacks.

Starfinders are up again

Creature 4 damage

"Don't wet yourself, Pockets. It's outnumbered, and we have guns."

Indeed, and the House Gun stuns! Let's get the cat!

House static arc gun, set to stun: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 151d6 ⇒ 1

Trick Attack Bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
trick attack fails
Azmuth Lazer Pistol: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Lazer misses

Pockets runs behind Kuon to his other side, trying and failing to hit the cat, further adding to his panic attack.
"Guns won't help if we can't hit it, pronking cat moves too fast! We need a mech to hide in! or a MK 99 stickybomb Grenande!"

Pockets shot goes wide while the House hits

Rest of the party is up!

"Well, we have to work with what we've got. Just calm down. Panicking makes you miss." Anock casually shifts her Cloud Array as the cat prowls around the group, then steps out of Kuon's shadow to fire at the hungry cat-thing.

Azimuth laser pistol (F): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d4 ⇒ 1

It's easy to act cocky when you haven't even tried shooting it and it hasn't tried attacking yet. That's not good. Anock gets a sudden sinking feeling that she's going to be eating her words soon, and the bitterness will linger.

If Anock's attitude is bothering anyone, let me know. I'll adjust so everyone can enjoy the game. :)

@Anock, your fine. The dice, on the other hand..."

Kuon turns to keep the creature in his sight as he brings his light reaction cannon to bear.
Light reaction cannon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16damage: 1d10 ⇒ 2

The large creature bites at Kuon

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

The opens up a large wound.

Starfinders are up again!'

"Alright. Try again!" Anock does a rather odd impression of a cross between a drill sergeant and a cheerleader. As she rearranges her Cloud Array (move action), she uses a Nanite Surge (swift action) to give Kuon a bit of a boost. "You're not dead yet, Kuon!" Then she steps to the side to shoot at the cat-thing again.

Kuon gains Fast Healing 1 to restore SP only for 1 minute, per Reactive Repair. He gains 1 temporary HP per SP healed for the duration. He must stay in or adjacent to the Cloud Array to keep it active.

Azimuth laser pistol (F): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d4 ⇒ 4

Kuon takes a step back, trying to keep within the cloud before firing his cannon again. light reaction cannon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 damage: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Trick Attack Bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Crit Damage reroll F: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Crit Damage frie: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Total Damage 8

"Take that, you overgrown feline!
Finally making a shot, Pockets manages to hold his ground, bluffing newfound confidence against the large cat.

The house is making those noises again...

Pew pew!: 1d20 ⇒ 161d6 ⇒ 4

The creature bites at Kuon again ignoring the nanites crawling over him. But his teeth just miss Kuon.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

creature 23 damage

Starfinders are up again

you need a heavy hitter :)

Pockets starts moving to try to flank the cat

Trick Attack Bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Azmuth Lazer Pistol: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
misses

Pockets yells at the large cat
"Stop moving so fast we can't hit you!'

"Yes, that'll work. I'm sure it understands our language." Anock wryly observes as she takes aim to fire.

Azimuth laser pistol (F): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d4 ⇒ 2

We should have brought a gnoll, The House says as he tries to mess with the mind of the cat Shoo! Shoo! SHOO!

Mind thrust: 2d10 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 DC 15 Will for half

Kuon takes a step back and continues firing at the cat.
light reaction cannon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 damage: 1d10 ⇒ 7

The cat tries to ward off the mind thrust as Kuon hits with his cannon. It takes some damage as it moves to attack.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

It tries to bite the Vesk in return for the hit, and it lands its fangs into the arm of the soldier.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

damage creature 32

The House lays down further discouragement, but misses this time around

Pew pew: 1d20 ⇒ 81d6 ⇒ 6
