[YFF/SFS/DMK] 6-07 Race for the Dustwarren Cup (Inactive)

Game Master Kludde

"Oh, is that Egg Nog?" muses Gunnz and she fires off a quick shot at the pirate in the blue hat. She then quickly dashes for cover again.

stealth: 10 + 24 = 34
attack vs EAC FF: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 15 + 2 = 35
A damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 6) + 5 = 13
sneaky: 5d8 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 3, 5) = 20 Pluss bleed 10

No, it's Gro.. the pirate responds as Gunnz shoots the mug from his hands, and hits the pirate in the chest.

"My name is Cavaler Traleth, prepare to die." Cavaler's voice can be heard by everyone thanks to the anacite voice amplifier attached to his throat.

Intimidation (Menacing Gaze) vs. Odrag, Blue, Orange, Magenta: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

The dwarf looks at the elf incredulously, as if saying "what a fop."

Gunnz meanwhile considers making sure she is well hidden from the scary elf as well as the pirates.

The captain tries to keep his resolve against the intimidating voice of Cavaler, but his will eventually buckles, looking visibly shaken by the elf.

Yarr! To arrms! To arrms! the pirate leader shouts, show them the pointy end of your cutlasses!

Three of the pirates do now such things, and instead start blasting up the place

Pulse Staccato So, Verrek: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 181d10 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Pulse Staccato So, Shaken, Cavaler: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 14 - 2 = 191d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Pulse Staccato So, Shaken, Gunnz: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 14 - 2 = 261d10 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

The captain moves up together with the last pirate, side-by-side, the captain wielding a nasty plasma doshko, the pirate a hook sword.

"Dance off with Egg Nog!" cries out Gunnz, ducking through the shadows as she fires off a shot at the Captain.

trickyness: 10 + 24 = 34
attack vs FF EAC: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 2 = 24
A damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2) + 5 = 10
sneaky damage: 5d8 ⇒ (1, 5, 8, 8, 1) = 23 Plus bleed 10

Assuming the cell has been opened, Rani ducks inside and takes off Mimli's gag.

Get you out of those in a jif she says.

Verrek goes a little forward, clutching the doshko and then lifting the weapon up releases a wave of magical energy that spreads through the muscles of the allies with a pleasant pulsation.

HASTE everyone!

"Your peg leg doesn't scare me you salty sea devil. If you will not parley with us we will end your reign of terror over the dune sea."

Diplomacy (Quick Quip): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

Cavaler also spends a resolve point to apply Get 'Em all the pirates. Everyone gets a +2 to their next attack roll and a +2 bonus to damage in round 2.

R1

Using the corner as cover, Viper fires at the pirate with the yellow bandana.

Vs yellow

Trick - Take 10 = DC 11 or less tricked
Attack 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20 vs FF EAC
Damage 2d4 + 4 + 4d8 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 + (5, 8, 7, 5) = 36
+Off Target (-2 to attacks).

"Let me know whether you'd like to surrender or get shot again"

M'Shak calculates the best velocity she needs to use to shoot at the pirate then moves, shoots and comes back.

Trick (computer): 10 + 18 + 4 = 32
Trick Attack vs FF Blue EAC: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 2 = 24
Damages, So (+ Bleed 8): 1d8 + 4 + 4d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (3, 6, 2, 1) + 2 = 20

Gunnz has another cheap shot at the captain, hitting him in the shoulder (no parrots were harmed). Rani focuses on getting the hostage out, and a shaken, terrified Mimli meekly abides with anything Rani suggests.

Verrekk seems to be in a hurry, and makes everyone feel the same way. Cavaler's quip falls a bit flat I will rain terror on you! the captain retorts.

Viper and M'shak lay down the fire on the pirate advancing from their side, and the yellow pirate looks a bit scurvier than before.

Dripping blood, the captain and his aide move at Verrek, while the other pirate keep shooting up, one of them hitting Gunnz from an impossible angle.

Yellow, Rifle vs Viper: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 14 - 2 = 211d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

+Off Target (-2 to attacks).

Rani has a quick look at Mimli's bonds and suggests some moves that might make it easier for Mimli to get herself free. Meanwhile Rani positions herself as a shield to protect Mimli and takes a shot at Blue.

aphelion laser pistol: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29 fire: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 1) + 3 = 10

If Mimli is still having trouble getting free then Rani will help her next round.

With surgical precision, Viper takes out the yellow pirate in a career-ending humiliating trick shot.

Rani's suggestions to Mimli are noted, who starts to wiggle herself free while Rani lands a shot on blue.

M'Shak shoots at another pirate, ready to weaken them.

Trick Attack vs FF EAC Orange: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
Damages, So (+ Bleed 8): 1d8 + 4 + 4d8 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (1, 5, 5, 7) = 24
Off target

I'll chop ye up one by one, ye bloody freaks! Magic fills Verrek's doshko trembling with electrical energy.

Ghost Killer Storm Doshko+ Jolting Surge: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 212d8 + 12 + 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 12 + (4, 3, 3, 2) + 2 = 31 - electric dmg & electricity vs EAC vs BLUE

M'Shak pop up around the corner, sneakily putting a sonic blast into the orange pirate. Verrek threatens to chop every pirate one by one, then proceed to chop up one of the pirates. When he is done, the pirate is on the floor, bleeding out.

Cavaler drops low and fires his dual crossbolter through the small gap between Verrek's legs and right at Odrag.

Bluff (Improved Feint): 1d20 + 15 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 15 + (2) + 1 = 19 If Cavaler's bluff succeeds Odrag is flat footed to his attack.
Dual Crossbolter + Get 'Em vs. Odrag KAC: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 = 18
Piercing Damage: 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (10, 9) + 8 = 27

Everyone's attack against Odrag in the third round get's a +2 bonus to their attack roll.

Gunnz winces as the laser slices into her. "That'll leave a scar." she sighs.

Ducking into the shadows she returns fire to the pink pirate before diving for cover behind the rock walls.

trickyness: 10 + 24 = 34
attack vs EAC, GE,FF, pink: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 26

tricky damage: 5d8 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 6, 6) = 25 Plus bleed 10

Cavaler tries to show off, but he is more show than accuracy, and his shot misses.

Viper gets a better shot in, and adds a nasty bleeding wound to the magenta pirate.

M'Shak dodges two shots from the struggling pirates, while Verrek is still going toe-to-toe with the captain, and takes a hit.

Orange, at Mshak: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 14 - 2 = 181d10 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Magenta, at Mshak: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 161d10 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"Now for the boss"

Vs the Captain

Trick - Take 10 = DC 11 or less tricked
Attack 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26 vs FF EAC
Damage 2d4 + 4 + 4d8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 + (7, 1, 2, 7) + 2 = 28
+Off Target (-2 to attacks).

Seeing no other pirates within range she can shoot at, Rani helps Mimli out of her bonds.

If you like, I can show you some tips that would help you escape if you ever find yourself in this sort of situation again. I'm ... rather experienced at getting out of restraints.

Verrek takes a careful step back, hoping that one of his allies will take his place and he will receive a flank bonus in the next round, and then he strikes two magic-hasted blows.

Ghost Killer Storm Doshko: 1d20 + 11 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 - 4 + 2 = 162d8 + 12 ⇒ (6, 4) + 12 = 22 - electric dmg vs EAC
Ghost Killer Storm Doshko: 1d20 + 11 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 4 + 2 = 262d8 + 12 ⇒ (1, 3) + 12 = 16 - electric dmg vs EAC

Cavaler lines up another shot on Odrag, but this time with no cover between him and his target.

Bluff (Improved Feint): 1d20 + 15 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 15 + (5) + 1 = 36
Dual Crossbolter vs. Odrag KAC: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 2 = 26
Piercing Damage: 2d10 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5, 4) + 8 + 2 = 19

Cavaler spends another resolve point to boost everyone's attack rolls and damage by +2 in round 4.

Seeing the last two regular pirates already bleeding, Gunnz dashes around the back of the cave to get the captain in sight.

"Save some Egg Nog for me!"

trickyness: 10 + 24 = 34
attack vs FF, ige: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 32
A damage,ige: 2d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 5 + 2 = 15
trickyness: 5d8 ⇒ (1, 2, 7, 7, 2) = 19 Plus bleed 10

If the captain is already down by that stage, I'll prioritise magenta over orange.

Viper takes another deadly shot at the captain, who is looking close to being overwhelmed, and who is dripping blood everywhere.

Rani tends to Mimlu, while Verrek and Cavaler make short work of the captain. Gunnz adjusts her aim and nearly takes out one of the pirates in the back.

The magenta pirate tries to raise his hands to surrender, but collapses on the floor before he can do so. The last pirate, seeing the case is completely lost, just lays down his arms and says Parley?

Combat over!

Oh, jolly well good in time! It's unfathomable what these scoundrels would have inflicted on me if it hadn't been for your timely rescue! Mimlu exclaims. I do hope you're not falling behind in the race too much...

Mimli looks like she has only minor injuries, but she is a lot more tired from the ordeal than she lets on, and wouldn't mind leaving the place at all, thank you very much.

The pirate cove contains very little of lasting value - plenty of Grog, though - as well as a conspirator’s emblem in the shape of the collective Free Captains faction logo.

Although the Tomcat was in a great position when they left the course, the little detour in the pirate cove has caused them drop behind quite a bit. There's a full night of sailing ahead, so there's still hope.

The next part is divided into a number of phases. In each phase, I need
- One Pilot check
- One Other skill check (differs by phase)
Anyone not rolling the main checks can aid another

The first thing the crew needs to catch up is MORE SPEED. There are a couple of ways to stretch the boatd beyond its capabilities: you can choose to boost the speed at either the engine or the sails. Boosting the speed at the sails requires either an Athletics or a Sleight of Hand check. Boosting the speed at the engine requires either an Engineering or a Mysticism check.

I'm going to cheer up this baby. With these words, Verrek goes to the engine.

Main skill check: Engineering: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23

Auto assist to Verrek

Gunnz should do Main Pilot

Cavaler begins to work the sails again.

"May the wind be forever at our backs friends."

Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Gunnz limps back to the Tomcat. "Nothing I havn't had worse when this time, I was like, running late... and had to do an entire evening dancing in flats. I tell you my feet were black and blue.."

She settles back into the pilots chair.

"Lets really set the ol' cat free, eh? Wheeeeeeeeeee"

pilot: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36

Every now and then she checks over her shoulder to see if Mimli is okay, and what their bonus kobold is up to.

M'Shak aids improving the engines.

Auto Aid

Rani helps Cavaler
sleight of hand: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 26

Flats? I've never had problems with mine. Mind you, I don't wear those high heel things

Verrek boosts up the negine, giving Gunnz enough speed to work with. Quite rapidly, she end up overtaking the Dust Monsters, who hiss something about Longshaaanks when the boat passes. Mimly is still weak, just sitting in the back, and she seems to be enjoying the silt spray. Doughan looks far less at ease, hanging over the rail looking a bit green.

Another round of speeding up should get you right in the middle of the pack!

---
Phase 2, same as phase 1. I'm going to take Cavaler's check at the skill check, so I only need a piloting check from Gunnz really, to see exactly how well you are doing...
---
Phase 3
The Tomcat is heading towards the font of the competition when a loud BANG is heard from behind, and the Dust Monster comes flying (!) overhead. The explosion you heard seems to have set off some bits on their hull, and their ship has turned into a massive unstable, greenish-fallout-spraying rocket, only to crash into the sands a few hundred meters short of the finish line. The goblins don't seem to care much, though, they're way too busy celebrating the cool explosion.

Dust Monster: OUT

The fallout spray is a bit of a problem, so you either need to fix it with Mysticism, or convince Tayyara to fix it for you (Bluff or Diplomacy)

Aye cap... Tayyara says, wondering who actually the captain is. With little effort, she uses her witchwarper abilities to clear up the green glowing stuff.

So really two more piloting rolls needed, everybody else can still aid another

"Thar she blows!!!"

Piloting (Aid Another): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

As the morning presses on, Gunnz calls for icepacks for her side. It really doesn't feel too great. "There was this one time, when I was cage dancing... which really isn't as bad as it sounds.. but i slipped and got jammed between these bars. Couldn't wear skimpy outfits for a week." she sighs.

pilot,aid: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 24 + 2 + 2 = 48 include two aids aid

As the Bang echoes over the Dust, Gunnz tries to keep her concentration on the game at hand. "[b]I wonder if they will invite us back next year?[/ooc]

pilot,aid: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 24 + 2 + 2 = 43 include two aids aid

Oh, I would have liked to seen that Rani replies as she applies the icepacks. You in skimpy outfits that is .. not stuck between bars. The only cages I've been in, I had to get myself out of, even while underwater

As for dancing in flats .. well I do most of my stuff barefoot although I wear these nice padded walking boots which are really comfy - maybe you should get a pair. Non-slip on the dance floor as well - even furlined on the inside.

"Depending on the cages they can be good... for keeping the punters at bay." admits Gunnz.

"Personally I prefer a big stage and a couple of hefty vesk security guards for when the more enthusiastic members of the audience try to climb on it."

She glances down at her footwear. "I like soles with a bit of bounce to them.." she admits.

You'll have to let me know the next time you're professionally dancing - so I can come and see it Rani replied.

Gunnz shows there is really no match for Starfinder piloting abilities, and she closes the gap with the pack swiftly and launches the Tomcat straight among them. It's unbelievable that after three days of racing, the rivaling boats are so close together!

Left is the Solardarity, and right is the Golden Ratio. The varsity jocks are coming up from the rear, so there is no room for error here!

Prediction the erratic movements of the ships takes good insights (Sense Motive), or the ability to see a good coarse ahead (Perception)!

Rani is up in the crow's nest keeping a watch.

"Hold onto your hats folk. This is going to be close!" says Gunnz.

She adjusts her eyepatch for maximum effect, glances up to judge the angle of the sun on the sails and then .... redlines the engines toward the finish line.

pilot: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (10) + 24 = 34

Piloting: AID: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

Perception AID 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

The Tomcat manages to emerge from the clutter in first position, and it's straight sailing onto the finish line. Only the Golden Ratio, Zwarna's vessel, remains in competition, and Mimli cries out Look out! She is trying to ram us!

It looks indeed as is Zwarna is trying a desperate last ditch effort to get ahead of the Tomcat. Fortunately, you have another few tricks up your sleeve

Bluff or Intimidate to face down Zwarna, Piloting to move ahead. This round, it is also possible to give the boat one last boost!
