Discussion thread!
Yup, starting on the 6th!
Have also posted the Slides link to the top of the campaign (and in my profile header). Feel free to add your character image and Initiative/Perception mods to that over the next few days.
I'll also post all of the collected boons/rewards from this part up in a spoiler at the top of the campaign once you're done earning them.
Speaking of boons, now's a good time to slot them. Of note: the 'First Skirmish' starship boon (from scenario 1-13 on the Trail of History) may have an effect in this scenario if you choose to slot it.
And speaking of starships, there is the potential for Starship Combat over the course of this special. While we're not at it yet (you haven't even technically entered the star system yet!) consider this Discussion thread as good a place as any to discuss who might want to take which ship role should ship-to-ship combat break out.

Personal boon: Drow admittance
Slotless boon: Starship schematics (we can take the Gorgon if we choose)
Starship boon: Relaxation Suite Expansion Bay. If you, or any of the crew on your ship spend more than a day on your starship, you can take advantage of the suites within the vessel. If you take a full day rest within the suite, you gain an extra Resolve Point for the following day. This Resolve Point can only be used to stabilize or to perform a starship combat action.
Millithor Arms Incorporated makes sure to take care of their employees - as well as those who travel with them!
For starship roles, Valas could be the pilot, science officer, engineer, captain, or gunner (in that order of preference).
Would you allow Aster to use her profession contractor to help Ziggy?
Yeah, I could see that
Starting with The Third Kind then!
So as see three fine with Pegasus, let’s go with that - to keep things moving.
Can always use a different ship if you’d like for future Starship missions during this.
So right now as stated in IC thread, multiple derelicts amidst the ice rings. If you want to investigate one of them, you can move adjacent to it and try an Engineering check to see if anything’s salvageable.
I’m going to say no: they’re designed to remain on an item permanently (or at least until sold/swapped out) and so aren’t consumable as have no duration.
When the current encounter ends (with a possible citation needed for the 'when' - the dicebot has not been kind to you this fight), which mission would you all like to attempt next?
Currently there are still Recon opportunities around Bastiar-4 and Callion-2 But since you last checked in the fleet has also located at least two places in the system where Starfinder agents have been found and are in need of Evac
Lists of available missions also viewable in the Slides deck, just pre-checking in on group's thoughts for the next one you'd like.

GM, Valas has invigorating strike, so when he dropped the yellow target, his stamina was healed.
SFS Legal Invigorating Strike (Ex)
Source Tech Revolution pg. 29
Level Required 2
Victory reinvigorates you. Once per round when one of your attacks defeats a significant enemy, you regain Stamina Points equal to 1d4 + your key ability score modifier. The number of Stamina Points you regain increases by 1d4 at 5th level and every 3 levels thereafter.
I'm not seeing the appropriate post in this thread, so I want to make sure you are aware this table has received Aid Token #2. (No boosts currently in play.)
Edited to add: Please use it or boost it and pass it along in a timely manner. Thank you.
Yeah, I was just flavoring the generic Aid token.
Also confirmed that the fleet ships still have their armories and trading posts open during this section of the scenario. So hypothetically you could make purchases of things like serums if you'd like...after you get off this planet first of course.

I have several questions. Did the plant creature get an attack of opportunity on Dirk? If so, I didn't see what caused the attack. Did I miss something?
What are the outlined red and blue boxes? Are they difficult terrain? I was planning on moving around the plant creature, but didn't want to give it an opportunity attack on me.
How far down is the cliff beside me? Can I use acrobatics to get down safely? With my move of 30, I'm trying to see if I can get around the creature (maybe with a double move). My goal is to put the creature between us and the new aliens, without provoking from the plant creature. Hopefully the new aliens will fire on the plant instead of us, and draw it's attention.

The red and green 10x10 'boxes' are various crowds of Starfinders trying to escape off the south end of the map - apologies if that hasn't been clear. You can move through them without difficult terrain (as allies), though can't end your turn in their spaces.
Note also that as the plant thing is currently grabbing Dirk it can't take its AoO reaction, so that could also help your movement

The cliff is 15 feet above the lower section at its highest point by the outpost (and Valas is close to that end), but slopes down and is less high up as you go south.

A care package beacon slams into the ground, and with a hiss of equalising pressure, the side retracts up. A number of first aid packs tumble out! One of them, marked "with love, from ya boi Kargarama," tumbles out out of the beacon - and directly into a lava flow, combusting immediately.

Thank you GM Zoomba and Kishmo! I think we should use the healing either right now, or next round to stabilize Dirk (if he drops). My concern is this: if the plant hits Dirk again, it could just outright kill him. With an extra d6 hp, if the plant hits him again, he has a better chance of surviving the hit. I'm hoping if we can all get behind the creature, these jinsul will attack it (since we'll be behind cover) and the plant will then go after the jinsul. What do you all think? I think I just talked myself into using the healing now - I don't want to lose a team mate!
So, are people ok with using the Aid token for Healing? One more vote I’ll take as confirmation, to keep things moving
Its not a matter of morale or encouragement, but the fact that these Starfinders are physically exhausted and injured after holding the line for a year now.
Significant healing, abilites or items that could help with transport, or other such things might be able to apply. I could also allow for an Athletics or Medicine check to potentially speed one of them up for a round if you move adjcent to one of the crowds (whihc Valas could have ret-conned to have done, but it still would have been too much movement to get there and try that help this round.
They seem to be moving currently at 30 feet each turn. 'Green should be to the shuttle within two rounds at that pace, with 'red' one after that.
So with that mission done, there are 4 more potential Evacuation missions that could rescue Starfinders from the system. There is also a Starship mission available to try and fight the newly arrived jinsul forces to through them into disarray and give the Starfinders on the ground some more time to evacuate.
Please let me know what you'd like to take on next, after recovering.
