[SFS] Skitter Home/Skitter Warp (Inactive)

Game Master Kludde

Gaz helps out his boss, as Ayoka lands another hit. It's a pity that this guy seem to be very resistant to fire (Which is quite an advantage when you live in hell...)

The devil looks to be severely hurt as Nakonechkin bears down on it, strikes twice and hits... nothing.

Dakoyo tries to finish the creature off.

Needler Pistol: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 1 = 17
Piercing Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Needler Pistol: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 - 1 = 19
Piercing Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Dakoyo tries to finish the monster, but just embeds two needles in its tough hide.

With another claw swipe, the devil makes it last stand

Claw, Nakonechkin: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 211d6 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

"Finish him, Boss!"

Get 'Em: +1 to hit.

Aid Another (Nakonechkin): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Vs. DC 10... Failure :-/

This thing better go down soon

tpb: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12 e&f: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

And does anyone have any spare batteries?

Nakonechkin tries to finish the job!

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 14
Damages, S: 1d4 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 28
Damages, S: 1d4 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

"Sorry, all my things use darts or magic."

Needler Pistol: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 4 = 5
Piercing Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Needler Pistol: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 4 = 13
Piercing Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Ayoka's batter sputters as she fires her final shot, missing the devil

Nakonechkin takes another swing, which goes wide, then finally manages to finish of the beast with a show of force!

Combat over!

You can take a rest if you want

Half an hour after the fight with the devil, the group arrives at an area where, despite being so close the river, the ground is cracked and brittle.

Dakoyo is quick to spot that a part of the trail ahead is brittle, and quite dangerous. It could maybe hold one of the skittermander, but Nakonechkin definitely not...

Survival to find an alternative path...

Survival: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

"You can do it, Dakoyo!"

survival(aid): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

... with a helping hand .... or six Ayoka chirps.

She then checks her rifle. Yep - out of charge. She moves the fusion seal to her tactical semi-auto pistol which still has five bullets in the chamber.

engineering: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36

Ayoka's rifle is out of charge, but she does manage to help out Dakoyo enough to find a path through the treacherous terrain. A slight misstep reveals what could have been the Skittermander's fate: a treacherous pit, floored by nasty basalt spikes open up. Fortunately, nobody falls in.

After another hour and a half of travel, the group arrives at the headwaters of the Acavo River. Pillars of ugly stone encircle a small cave in the hillside from which the water of the Acavo Ricer pours forth. The stony ground is devoid of plants. Not even a weed grows here. A large crystal pulsing with purple and red energy protrudes from the riverbank near the spring.

Fools! It's a familiar, but corrupted-sounding voice, and turning to the source reveals Ponatia an Nako, or at least corrupted versions of themselves. Ponatia looks dark and megalomaniacal, and Nako nothing more than a homicidal version of herself. You are just wasting your time helping those cowards of the Helix Lyceum, my domination of the planet is --almost complete! The longer you stand in my way, the more painful your punishment will be!

Pouring the cleansing oil on the crystal is a standard action once you're next to it. Activating it is then another standard action, and requires a Mysticism check

Before we get to this area, Gaz-i-Gaz would happily have loaned Ayoka one of his spare batteries.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27.

"Don't For all their corruption, the real personalities of Nako andPonatia are still buried deep within their minds!

Don't worry, you two - we will save you, even if it has to be from yourselves!"

I assume Dakoyo, our bona fide Mystic, will handle the Mysticism check ;-)

He then points at Evil Nako.

"Get that one!"

"But get them gently!" Dakoyo advises as he checks that he has the oil. He runs as fast as his short, stubby legs can carry him toward the crystal.

If the terrain is not suitable fur running, instead he double moves, which puts him 50 feet farther west.

Dakoyo runs straight past the corrupted Ponatia and Nako, and moves within striking distance of the crystal.

'That one' charges right up to Gaz-I-Gaz, trying to bump him aside! Nako's eyes flash with multicolored fire, and her fingers end in sharp claws.

Charging Bull Rush: 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 16 - 2 = 20

Ponatia casts a spell, and taunts Hah! You cannot stop us! We have an infernal army! What match are you?

Gaz-i-Gaz takes a guarded step, trying to set up a flank for Nakonechkin, and points at Nako again.

"Get that one!"

Get 'em: +1 to hit.

With Gaz-i-Gaz's offer of a battery, Ayoka has no need to move the fusion seal. The battery is slipped into the rifle and she fires ... at her friend Nako.

This is gonna hurt me as much as it hurts you
tpb: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 = 22 e&f(nonlethal): 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

We got the Magic of Helping

Nakonechkin charges Nako!

Get back to your senses my friend!

And the vesk gives a big slap to Nako (or try at least!)

Unarmed Strike (NL) vs KAC: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 - 4 - 2 = 17
Damages, S (NL): 1d4 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Dakoyo moves to the crystal and pours the oil onto it.

Gaz-I-gaz suggests focusing on Nako, which is enough to Ayoka to carfully shoot Nako, who lets out a hurt squelch, glaring at the purple skittermander. Nakonechkin has a hard time hitting the nimble skittermander, but buys enough time for Dakoyo to pour the oil on the crystal.

Still need a Mysticism check, which is another standard action

Without any regard for safety, Nako runs for Ayoka, hissing and shouting the process

Ember flame doshko vs Ayoka: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 221d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18 Plus a DC 14 will save of be confused for 1 round

Ponatia casts a spell at Dakoyo, who feels his limbs becoming sluggish

I need a DC 18 will save against Hold Person

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Ayoka takes the hit but stands her ground, attempting to grab Nako in a six armed hug.

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

"Not gonna stop helping, oldfriend!"

Mysticism: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

"Not. Gonna. Stop. Helping!"

Mysticism, Shirt Reroll, 2 Stars: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 16 + 2 = 24

Dakoyo resists the effect of Ponatia's spell, and activated the cleansing oil. The substance begins to glow with intense holy light and infuses the crystal, which first changes to a cool blue color, then yellowish, and then begins to melt. The ground surrounding the crystal turns green in a quickly widening circle as the corruption washes away. Rage and hate drain from the faces of Nako and Ponatia and their twisted features revert to normal as they collapse like puppets whose strings are cut. A moment later, Nako and Ponatia blink their eyes as if waking from a terrible nightmare, their corruption dispelled.

Thanks to the employees of Nakonechkin Salvage, Ponatia and Nako are freed from evil influences. The two look confused, until slowly Ponatia realises what happeed. Oh no... nonono... he says and then addresses the group Thank you for freeing us from that corrupting influence... if it hadn't been for you...

Ponatia returns to the Helix Lyceum and begs forgiveness from the headteacher, who readily gives it. Osharus within the city are still infused with planar energy—as is most of the planet—but this just gives them another avenue of study, and they’re delighted with their new state.

As the Clutch returns to the Pact Worlds to sell its salvage, Nako spends most of the Drift journey in her quarters playing a mournful tune on her mvindee fingerdrums. When the ship reaches Absalom Station, she emerges as her old self, as ready for a cheerful scrap as ever!

That brings us to the end of this adventure! Thanks all for playing! I'll report and start preparing chronicles. I'm still missing RPG chronicles input for Nakonechkin - could I have that ASAP?

Nakonechkin is glad to see his friends coming back to their own self!

The crew is back!

Thanks Kludde :)
RPG Chronicle done.

Profession (Electrician): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Gaz-i-Gaz gives an all-six thumbs-up.

"I'm glad everyone is a-okay!"
