As the ball clangs off the target & Bodie feels the seat release, it reminds him a bit of his days as a drop trooper - the anticipation, that null-g pause between losing support & starting to fall.
Bodie finds that the kahlgee below is unusually thick, and has a consistency close to quicksand. With pure strength, though, he manages to make it out.
Hah! Good times! Anyone else want to sit there? Yuluzak bellows as Elwin helps cleaning up the half-orc No?
There's a fourth game! Jeekso says, not deterred at all by the previous dangers an failures, It's called soarnettle squall!
Soarnettles are the dangerous, razor-sharp tumbleweed like plants that are blown about on the planet by the surface winds causing deep cuts to whoever gets caught in their path, and a bit of a strange topic for a 'game', but Jeekso explains anyway See, I have made a green maze. The maze is filled with wind tunnels that spray fake soarnettle leaves. They include packets of red paint, so if you've been 'cut' you can see it! The winner is the person who escapes the maze with the fewest cuts!
The game consists of three different skill checks, from the following skills checks:
- Acrobatics to evade leaves,
- Bluff to trick opponents into a squall (you must name who),
- Engineering to use the maze’s walls and other features to one’s advantage,
- Intimidate to startle an ally into making a mistake (you must name who),
- Mysticism to divine the correct path,
- Perception to remain alert,
- Piloting to navigate the maze,
- Physical Science or Survival to predict wind patterns

"I like mazes, just got to pick all the right options to get out!" Mysticism:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 Perception:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 Survival:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 "Did I miss an option or two? At least red looks good on me. Not everyone has red blood, so you could add more color options to the paint."
This thing seems to be made for Elwin, who moves through quickly and doesn't get hit at all. Jekcedo enjoys the sight of being covered in red blood, and his suggestion to add color to the paint may also comes with a suggestion to make it less itchy! This stuff is really hard on the skin, and Jekcedo, along with Bodie and Aluradux, break out rashes. Allergies are universal, it seems.
Life Science, Medicine, Mysticism, or Survival to counter the effect.
Jeekso is very upset Oh no! It was never intended to be like this! All these flaws in my games... Bodie knows the perfect cure for Jekcedo's rash, rubbing some of that watered-down kahlgee onto it seems to do the trick. With the game fixed of bugs, everything is now a lot safer and more balanced.
Task complete!
As one of the athletic competitions in the Elytrio Open, Dystane is organising a hunting party! There are numerous teams of athletes, followed by a filming crew.
Dystane invites everyone into a prayer circle, and calls out, “Mother Touloo, we are hunters and friends, here to feed our community. Please, watch over us.” The husks join hands, and then call out, “Touloo, Touloo, we honor you, Mother Touloo!” After a few minutes of hand clasping and prayer, everyone grabs their gear and sets out into the desert.
Elytrio’s desert is hot, and the sun is unforgiving. Heat shimmers turn the horizon into a wavering blur. Here and there, outcroppings of dark brown rock jut up from the rusty red sands, providing small patches of cover and shade. The wind blows quick and steady, blasting exposed skin with scalding sand which does nothing to dispel the heat. Over the roar of the wind, stray sounds cause the hunters to twitch with nervous energy: scratching noises and the skitter of small rocks in the distance.
Suddenly, Dystane breaks the silence and says They are here! To arms! To arms!
Dystane directs her hunters to one group of predators, while pointing the group and the eager Yuluzak to a closer set of animals.

"Hey - Brother Tim - got any info on these chowderheads?" Bodie yells back behind him.
Brother Tim tries to ID the beasts. Life Science to RK:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
With practiced ease (i.e. Quick Draw), Bodie brings a rifle to the ready (either an artillery laser or a Boomer rifle, depending on what Brother Tim reveals).
He moves for a better shot & fires at the Black one in the back.
laser rifle vs Black EAC:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 fire damage:1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

"Oh my goodness! What are those?" Aluradux tries to remember what she read about the fauna of the planet.
life science recall knowledge vs monsters:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24 Feel free to substitute another skill if life science is the wrong one.
Aluradux draws her laser pistol as she moves into position and flings a handful of nanites at the largest monster. The nanites convert water vapor around the beast into acid.
Caustic Conversion to hit EAC vs biggest monster:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 damage, acid:4d4 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 1) = 10
Bodie and Aluradux both easily recognise these things as sand brutes, the beast reported as the main predators on this planet. The black one looks to be an alpha, stronger and tougher than the rest of them. Their hides reflect laser fire to an extent, so firing lasers at them can be dangerous, and they have a very imposing roar that can rattle the weak of mind. Nothing Yuluzak is worried about.
I suppose that makes Bodie go for the Boomer Rifle instead - what is the damage on that one?

Jek moves trying to close the left flank, drawing a shock grenade as they move, then casts Telekinetic Projectile at the beast on the left.
"I'll try to hold the left flank if I can get there in time." Telekinetic Projectile:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 Bludgeon damage:1d6 ⇒ 6 Bludgeon damage Crit:1d6 ⇒ 3

It's a d8 base and has a shorter range, so there'd be a -2 to the attack (22).
After some moments of motionless panic, Ears yells, "NOBODY PANIC!" The ysokis dashes forward to catch up with the others. He pulls up behind Bodie. "Okay, gunner, try that boomer again. I'm going to wind it up." He slaps the rifle , and then Bodie's shoulder to let the soldier know he's good to go.
Cast supercharge weapon. + 4d6 on damage for next round's first shot.

Elwin quickly casts a spell and then takes his own guarded step back.

Changed out grease for magic missile when I leveled Ears up. Maybe an illusion can help keep them in the mist.
Ears tries an illusion of a wall to keep one of the beasts in the mist.
Red walls.

Description
You weave nearby photons into illusory holograms that can take almost any form you can imagine. These holograms are usually effective against cameras, robots, and living creatures.
1st: When you cast holographic image as a 1st-level spell, it produces a purely visual hologram at long range (400 feet + 40 feet/level). The image has no sound, smell, texture, or temperature. The image can’t extend beyond four 10-foot cubes plus one 10-foot cube per caster level. The image lasts for as long as you concentrate. You can move the image within the limits of the size of the effect.
2nd: When you cast holographic image as a 2nd-level spell, it produces a hologram as per the 1st-level version of the spell, except the hologram can include minor sounds, but not understandable speech. The image lasts for as long as you concentrate plus 2 additional rounds.
Jekcedo's acidic mist eats away at the sand brutes, slowly dissolving the crystalline hide.
Fort:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 Fort:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 Fort:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Fort:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 I would normally ask what the DC is, but I think that point is a bit moot o_0
Ainsley's shots crackles in the dry air as it hits the alpha monster, as Elwin douses the group of monsters in heat.
Ears blocks off some of the desert with illusory walls, while Aluradux greases off the exit, causing one of the mosnter and the alpha to slip and fall over.
With a loud shot, Bodie blast through the alpha, who looks as if it's about to fall over. It also seems to refuse to give up, despite the strong opposition.
Yellow moves in to Jekcedo and snaps at him, while purple gets back on his feet and closes in, teraing its jaws into the shirren.
Purple gets back on its feet and slowly but mencingly closes in on Jekcedo. Blue tries to move out of the mist, but promptly slip on the greasy area, while the last monster makes it out of the area slowly, but steadily.

This might suck...
Seeing two closing in on Jekcedo, Elwin moves up to try to help by gently caressing Purple with a cheap flash drive while casting a spell.

"Brah - I've heard waves crash on the rocks louder than that." yells Bodie while he moves for a clear shot at the boss beast.
Finding a likely though precarious spot on the ledge, Bodie aims over the rock & blasts away with the augmented rounds.
...
"AWESOME!!"
"Yeah, baby! It's almost like magic!" Ears gives a rapid 1-2 of clenched fists. Then he notices that Bodie's target is still standing. "Oh."
He looks around. "BODIE! Where'd you go?" The ysoki drops to all fours to scamper after the soldier. He pops up beside Bodie, tags the half-orc's rifle. "Go get 'em, champ."
Move as shown. Cast supercharge weapon on Bodie's rifle again. + 4d6 damage.
Aluradux finishes off the ailing alpha with a volley of missiles. Rather than be deterred by the death of their leader, the remaining predators only get more aggressive, vying for the new position of alpha!
Bodie just barely misses the monsters, which is a pity, because the damage could have been enough to knock it out. Unless there is a get'em or other +1 that you missed out on...
The sand brutes reposition, and keep chomping down on their prey!

Jek throws a grenade aimed at the top right corner of the yellow mist area centred between 3 of the beast, then uses their move action to draw a frag grenade.

The acidic mist keeps eating away, melting bits of the desert floor, and eating straight through the wounded creatures. The continuing caustic assault proves to be too much for one of the monsters.
