GM Jhaeman's Starfinder Bounty # 5: "Echoes of Woe" (Inactive)

Game Master Jhaeman

Please note that this adventure comes with a content warning as follows:

While Echoes of Woe is a typical Starfinder adventure, it’s also a tragic ghost story set in a haunted hospital and involves themes of horror, disease, and patient death.

If these themes concern you, please PM me as I may be able to minimise the problem.

General Notes:

I try to post every day to keep things moving, and if you can keep a similar pace, that would be great. We all have real life interruptions of course, so if you can't post and we're in the middle of something like a combat, please give me bot instructions or I'll assume your PC does Total Defense.

Please place a good array of information in your character header. Knowing your PC's EAC/KAC, Perception mod, Initiative mod, etc., saves me a lot of time when doing posts. If you need help figuring out how to format that, we can help you.

If you want to earn extra GM love and you're not playing a pre-gen, posting a full character sheet in your profile is great. That way I can look stuff up and answer my own "how did they do that?" questions. Related, if you have some crazy weird or complicated build and want to explain anything, here's a good place.

You'll need a picture of your character for the grid scenes.

Finally, role-playing is good! Please give your PC some personality and engage with the other PCs and NPCs. I'll gently move us along if we're dwelling too much in one part of the scenario.

Any questions, ask away!

Handout #1: Inspection Checklist

□ Remove any animals and/or people from site
□ Retrieve objects of value
□ Stop any dangerous and/or unexplained occurrences

The forums have been a bit wobbly (at least for me) this weekend, so a reminder that it's always a good idea to type your posts in a separate document or copy them before hitting the Submit button.

@Everyone: We'll say the circular planter in the center of the room is where the tendril is emanating from that has entangled Saja. Attacking the vines won't have any effect, but an Engineering or a Mysticism check (each taking a full action) while adjacent to it could free him.

I'm assuming this means it doesn't really have health and attacks won't meaningfully deal damage, but would I be able to attack it to antagonize it and draw its fire away from Saja?

I'm going to be out of town for a few days starting on Friday (back Wednesday). I've still got a couple of regular updates until then, though. Thanks in advance for your patience!

My posting may be a bit hit-and-miss for the next week. Last trip of the year, I promise!

Really sorry everyone, but all I have is my phone so I can’t manipulate the map, etc. until I return on Sunday. This Bounty has taken a lot longer than it should have, but I promise we’ll move along quickly once I return!

Don't worry, we'll pick it up when you're back in shape :).

I ran this one before - it's one of the longer-running ones.

Job interview today--will post tomorrow.

Good luck!

Thanks, I'm back and good to go. Let's see if we can solve the mystery of this haunted hospital!

Sorry have to run, but will open the next set of doors in 36 hours.

Back Saturday.

Good game, thanks everyone. Chronicles coming in circa 12 hours.

Okay, the session has been reported and Chronicles are available
here. If there are any issues, just let me know and I'll fix them up.

I'm not seeing mine in there for some reason, was there an issue or anything?

Looks good thanks.

@Oshari: The only issue is a GM with a slipshod memory! Sorry. I'll get it up tonight and update this thread when it's there.

No worries, thanks!

@Oshari: Okay, please try it now.

Chronicle looks good! Thanks a lot for running this, I had a great time being the useless character :-P

Don't worry, you made up for it by being very good at the whole unsettling-agent-of-death thing.

Thank you very much for running this!
And thanks to all the players )

You're all very welcome. I'm going to turn this thread to Inactive, but just PM me if you need anything.
