[SFS] 5-16 To Catch a King (Inactive)

Game Master Kludde

Kat slips out of the car and moves to a firing position, while calling out "Keep them breathing!" to her fellow Starfinders.

Static Arc Rifle vs Stranger: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
Damage, non-leathal: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

"You......" fumes Liftt as they depress the power button on their mining laser.

"Nooooo" cires out Jancrast.

attack,off target: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 - 2 = 27
F damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Cha'mon exits his vehicle and fires his injector pistol at Tifori.

"You were warned."

Intimidation Stunt and Strike (Feinting Stunt): 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 4 = 26 If his skill roll and attack succeed the target is flat footed to everyone's attacks until the beginning of Cha'mon's next turn.
Injector Pistol vs. Tifori KAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 If his attack hits Tifori will also suffer a -2 penalty to her AC from Cha'mon's basic inhibitor. The penalty will last for 5 rounds.
Piercing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Kat5e opens fire on the stranger, shooting him as he ducks his head out. Lifft returs fire with his large laser.

K'ssatak-sul tries to be intimidating, but looks like he's still recovering from that fall.

Cha'mon goes 'bad cop' on Tifori, and hits the bandit with an inhibiting drug.

Ysh'yaal concentrates and the tips and bits she has on her starts to agglomerate in some sort of weapon!

She then moves next to Ladroff and Tifori!

cast Junksword level2 (non-lethal, reach, block)

Ysh'yaal makes good use of the junk lying around. The bandits are now completely cornered, and have no other option than to defend themselves with whatever melee weapons they have on them.

The stranger lashes out at K'ssatak-sul, and knocks the embri on the head with his staff, while Tifori stabs Ysh'shaal violently with her tactical spike.

Carbon Staff, K'ssatak-sul: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 261d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Tactical Spike, Ysh: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 321d4 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Extra damage: 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Liftt continues to hold down the button on his mining laser.

"STTTOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP"

attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
F damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

But in his shaking fury he seems unable to continue the large device.

Do we know what species the stranger is?

Life Science: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Cha'mon then turns his injector pistol on the stranger.

Bluff Stunt and Strike (Feinting Stunt): 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 4 = 27 Flat footed to everyone if the bluff and attack succeed until beginning of Cha'mon's next turn.
Injector Pistol vs. Stranger KAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 If his attack hits the stranger will also suffer a -2 penalty to her AC from Cha'mon's basic inhibitor. The penalty will last for 5 rounds.
Piercing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Critical Piercing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Kat locks onto the stranger with her combat tracking. Her algorithms have prioritized taking the stranger alive for the information he may possess.

Overcharge, Static Arc Rifle vs Stranger: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20
Damage, Non-leathal E: 1d12 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (9) + 7 + (4) = 20

Cha'mon has a look at the stranger, trying to figure him out. He's got cold, dead eyes, and he doesn't recognise the alien as a living creature.

Lifft keeps sending blasts of energy, but his aim is becoming more and more frantic, and less accurate.

Cha'mon injects the stranger, with a needle in the throat. Very painful.

Kat5e continues to try and subdue the stanger, who has been stoically defending himself so far.

Ladroff (47, -2AC, 5 rnds FF (rd3))

Mysticism: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Everyone can check out the spoiler.

Tifori will be flat footed to everyone's attacks in round 2, but not in round 3, but Ladroff will be flat footed in round 3.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Ysh'yaal responds in kind to TIfori .

Not cool Mate!

Junksword vs KAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damages (NL), S&B: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

+1AC against Tifori if it hits

The Hellknight fights silently and somehow stubbornly, inevitably... Blow after blow, blow after blow, like a living machine...

vs Ladroff
Solar Weapon + Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 11 - 2 - 4 = 192d6 + 11 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 11 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 22 - photon mode | vs KAC
Solar Weapon + Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 11 - 2 - 4 = 152d6 + 11 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 11 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 20 - photon mode | vs KAC

Ysh'yaal cuts the Lashunta gangster, but the real damage comes when K'ssatak-sul bring down the might of the hellknights on Ladroff, cutting down the stranger with two strokes.

Tifori tries a last stand against Ysh'yaal.

Spike, Ysh: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 161d4 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

You're next in line for HELL. It is pronounced loudly but as indifferently as possible.

Solar Weapon + Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 2 - 4 = 252d6 + 11 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 11 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 23 - photon mode | vs KAC
Solar Weapon + Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 2 - 4 = 222d6 + 11 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (6, 3) + 11 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 26 - photon mode | vs KAC

72 dmg... I think that's it.

Yes, he dead. Update tomorrow, could you roll day jobs?

Justice is inevitable... I AM INEVITABLE.

No day job

Liftt looks on in horror as K'ssatak-Sul admisters what passes for justice in the hells. He dashes forward, medikit in hand to look to the dying Ladroff.

"Medic... we need a medic.."
medicine: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

day job- driving instructor: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Profession: Archeologist: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

Kat's combat tracking clocks the stranger drop, and is unable to find anymore targets. She robotically brings the muzzle of her rifle down and calls out "Clear!"

Mercenary: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Don't move! Station Security officers jump out of three, four newly arrived police cruisers. The dead Tifori clearly has no intention of moving, and neither has the unconscious Ladroff.

Lifft administers first aid to the Downside King leader, who is then quickly shipped off to Security Headquarters for a mug shot.

In the days that follow, the live revelation of Lifft of the practices of the Downside Kings is on constant rotation in news outlets, billboards and on the infosphere. It takes about a week for the sensation to die down, but fortunately there is also a steep decline in anti-Starfinder news reports.

Thanks everyone for playing! I've generated Chronicles. Let me know if everything is correct!

There's still time to hop onto those Envar's expedition games, or onto the Festive occassion (recruitment link here and on the Castamir station. Looks like we also have a drift cruise lined up for Lifft.

DayJob Hacker: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 1 + 4 = 20

Ysh'yaal is happy to have the Downside King leader arrested once and for all and the anti-starfinder activities decline. A job well done!

Thanks again Kludde!

Jancrast looks at the shaking Liftt with an exasperated sigh. "So much progress, thrown away."

Then her eyes light upon a flier. "Liftt... you need to get away from all this ... and have some time of enforced relaxation. A cruise. And I'll come along to make sure you relax."

Thanks for the game everyone.

@Liftt - New Elysium I hope? ))

DM Kludde, as always, my bows and many thanks!
