[SFS] 2-01 Pact World Warriors! (Inactive)

Game Master Kludde

Zarzucket tries to move.

acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 11

can I see yellow?

Ow. That STUNG! Vega exclaims. You're lucky I'm not allowed to cast spells at the moment.

She takes a shot at the entity marked in green.
mtsap: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 1

then tries to leave with the flag.

Sorry, all, summer classes are over though so I should be back to posting regularly.

Round 3 & 4

Oshari climbs around the door and pushes to the end of the wall, before pushing along the hallway.

Athletics-climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Round 5

"There you are." Oshari grabs the wall doorframe to stop himself in front of Tillik and attacks.

Ember Flame Doshko, Merciful: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23, Fire: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

According to line of sight rules, Zarzucket can see Tillik/Yellow

Vega returns fire, and Verity-5 takes a little nick!

Crit damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

I have to stop you there, do you what's happening on the other side? Brutal blow!

Yup. Pahtra blood is red. Now we know. Thanks for teaching us that, Oshari.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Xoni takes a superficial wound and keeps propelling herself forward, ahead of Grim. She reaches the door but has to grab something to keep from getting off kilter. I believe she did not have to take a move action to continue in the direction she was going, so steadying herself is her first move action.

She then directs her boomer rifle at the vesk in the stickybomb. The merciful fusion takes enough intensity out of the sonic shock wave to avoid lethal damage.

Tactical Boomer Rifle: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 (Range 40)
Boomer rifle damage, So: 1d8 ⇒ 1

The dice are not being friendly.

GRIM*! now has a total of 2 mutation points, and has +5 to move
GRIM*! squeezes in seeing Vega with the flag holds the door open for her, than strikes at green

In case this is needed, GRIM*! both starts and stops in reach of the doorway
Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Club: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage B: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Zarzucket fires two missiles at the one near him.

magic missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8

Ooh, bad luck for Xoni and GRIM, they just don't seem to have that edge it takes to land a shot.

@Zarzuket: Magic missile is a lethal spell. Are you SURE you want to fire a volley? Camera's rolling...

Miink aims for the vesk straight ahead.

“This should be loud, but I hear vesk like it that way…”

Ranged shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Sonic non-lethal damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

She slips in the middle of the shot and dangles from a strap on Xoni's shoulder, then works her way toward a more stable grip.

“Argh! These… dangit… no, here… wait… got it. Whew. Yanno, I don't think they needed that emergency light. They always install spares.”

Warning shot from Miink! I'm not sure that will deter the team much!

Verity is going for the flag, snatching it right from under Vega's nose! Risky!

Vega and Grim get an AoO!

Having jump jets is really useful here, they'll be back in the base in no time! This is looking bad for the Starfinders!

Cover fire from the Vesk!

Bruiser Decoupler, Xoni: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 121d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

And Rafelo is sniping as well!

Laser Pistol, Miink: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 101d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

And what is this? Tillik is trying to garotte Oshari? That's not going to work...

Garotte, Oshari: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d2 ⇒ 2

Vega doesn't have a melee weapon so, no AOO

She takes a shot at Verity-5
mtsap: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 4

before trying to leap at Verity-5 to get the flag back
acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

yeah you're right. I'll use an extra move to try to move past him

Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 11

AOO verses Verity-5

Club: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage B: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

GRIM*! drops the flag in the control room the rushes to help Vega get the other flag attacking Verity-5 again.
Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 Starting and stopping in reach of a doorway if that helps.

"You took the flag from my friend I will make you hurt!"
Club: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage B: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Miink takes another shot at red.

Ranged shot vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Sonic non-lethal damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Oshari narrows his eyes, relying on the commentary to make up for his lack of visuals on the situation. Remembering what it said about Tillik taking a shortcake, he pushes off the wall, barreling into him, before turning on his armor jets and shooting through the back room.

Push off the wall into Tillik
Athletics to avoid off-kilter: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Jump jets

Verity is in trouble! A hit from Grim and another one from Vega has the android on the ropes!

...and they're going down! That last punch by Grim was too much, really!

That means there's a flag up from grabs, next to that pile of clothes there!

Remember everyone, being incorporeal can save you a lot of trouble!

Miink has it in for the Shonvyzam, and that shot... he can't take much more of those!

Oshari moves way past Tillik, looks like he's circling around

Shonvyzam and Rafelo have no choice but to stand their ground, they can't afford to lose another flag.

Baton, Grim: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 121d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Baton, Vega, Cover: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 2 = 171d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

And Tillik is trying to make it to the east bay, but he must be seeing that enemy flag now!

Hail Pistol, Zarzucket: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 91d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

mutation points 4, Speed +10 AC +1

GRIM*! grabs the flag and then attacks red
Club: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage B: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Vega was about to grab that flag but GRIM*! got there first. So she shoots at Shonvyzam before retreating to grab the other flag that GRIM*! left in the control room. She is also out of stamina ..... again.

shoot: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Oshari thinks for a second, floating to the end of the wall. There's still one flag in play... and one member of the enemy team unaccounted for. Must've tried to hide towards the start of the contest. I would've seen her in here, the others would've seen her going into the barracks, so assuming the ship is roughly symmetrical, that leaves the storage closet, or...

Suddenly, he pivots, his jump jets launching him through the door, floating up to the door.

Move action-jump jets. If the door is closed, I'll open it with my remaining action, if it's open, I'll push off into there.

Also, Tillik should need to make a DC 20 Acrobatics/Athletics check from last round to avoid being off-kilter, since he and Oshari collided.

Fair point, thanks for pointing that out. Also, all doors are open here.

Acrobatics, Tillik: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

GRIM looks intimidating enough, but he's not hitting much right now. And he's just in the way for Vega, that's not helping her either.

Oshari seems to be going for his own targets here

Since Xoni's player is on sick leave, could someone suggest an action?

Zarzucket tries to move down the hall

Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 12

"I'm getting there!:"

Remember ... nice and gentle ... nice and gentle .. Remember the Three Laws of Motion.

She's currently hugging the ceiling.

“You look sleepy, Shonvyzam… like you just want to lay down right now.”

Miink grins wickedly at the vesk.

"Here -- I’ll help."

Ranged shot at Red vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Sonic non-lethal damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

@GM -- I think Xoni would focus fire on red (following their last shot).

If red isn't a target any more, they'd likely move forward to get an angle on blue.

(Just one crazy moth's idea...)

Zarzucket just moves down the hall and...

Vesk down! Vesk down! That's not a good sign for the challenging team!

Xoni tries to add to that by taking out Rafaelo, but she misses

Tactical Boomer Rifle, Rafaelo: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Boomer rifle damage, So: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Rafaelo is surrounded from all sides! He's still firing back, though. Our female viewers will appreciate that.

I'm assuming 'hugging the ceiling' means out of melee range, otherwise this would be a baton strike.
Azimuth laser, Vega: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 181d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

And it's Tillik versus Zarzucket in a private shootout!

Subzero pistol, Zarzucket: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 161d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Who has the other flag found in the bridge? Zemfira stated she was taking it, but it has not moved on the map. Do we need to get all three flags to win or just more than the other team?

If Zemfira does not have the flag, Xoni will grab it in one of ther hands before moving. Xoni propels herself down the hall toward Tillik, taking a rifle shot as she goes. This time the shot seems to catch the Pahtra square in the solar plexis.

Tactical Doshko vs KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage, P: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Vega takes a hit. Cant take another like that ... Gotta heal up

She retreats to the bridge. If there is a loose flag in her path, she'll take it.

GRIM*! has the flag from the bridge, Vega has the flag GRIM*! started with. I think we just need enough flags to have more of them, plus I think we also get points for each opponent we down.

GRIM*! moves to block Rafelo - Blue and strikes with his club

Club: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage B: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Well, so much for sneaking around the back! Don't split the party, people!

And if you do, make sure you're well-armored. Tillik clearly didn't bring enough.

And GRIM is on Rafelo - the beauty versus the beast!

Miink pushes off the wall. “Headed your direction, GRIM*!”

Acrobatics for zero-g movement: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

She gently lands on GRIM*!’s shoulder. “Hey! I’m finally getting the hang of this!!”

Miink glares down from her perch at the approaching challenger. “Back off from my people, Rafelo!!”

Ranged shot at Blue vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Sonic non-lethal damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"Did someone get hurt?"

Zarzucket moves.

acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Ow

Do I see anything in that room?

Oshari is peeking into that room, I suppose he's trying to find Mia there? No sign of her, where could she and the flag be hiding?

Rafelo looks like he needs some help, even though Miink missed that shot. I'm sure that would have taken him out, but right now, he's still standing.

And trying to get that sticky icky off of him!

Rafelo is cornered, but fighting back!

Baton, Grinm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 61d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

And there we catch a first glimpse of Mia! She's coming to the rescue

Vega looks for a healing serum among her gear ... and finds none.

She then peeks her head out the door to see what's going on before heading towards Xoni and Zarzucket.

I got an idea .... let's cut through Engineering .... and does anyone have spare healing potions please?

Miink repositions herself and squeezes off a shot.

“Time to lay down, Rafelo…”

Standard action to shoot

Ranged shot at Blue vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Sonic non-lethal damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Move action to retrieve MK1 serum from backpack
“Vega, I have a MK1 you can use. Can you come this way?”

I thought Vega grabbed the flag on the bridge?

GRIM*! makes a full attack on Rafelo

Club: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 4 = 13
Damage B: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Club: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 4 = 13
Damage B: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Oww, Rafelo is going to have to change his name to Pulpo! Miink's shot hits, and GRIM is just brutal! Brutal!

That only leaves Mia moxie standing. I'm ready to call it!

Yes, let's close the books on this one! Combat over!

Congratulations to the Starfinders! Remind me not to meet them in a dark alley!

Gravity returns to normal, and a cleaning crew moves in to mop the blood from the floor, while the starfinders are ushered to a final stage.

A wash of sparkling confetti and the sound of upbeat brass instruments heralds the arrival of Zo! onto the stage. The undead mogul effortlessly swings a microphone in one hand, while casually pointing and smiling at members of the live studio audience. As the music calms, Zo! turns to provide both teams with a shot from his finger guns before addressing the audience. “Trials and tribulations! Drama and intrigue! Dangerous obstacles and murderous animals rendered into appetizers! Really folks, we have it all, don’t we!?”

Zo! revels in the crowd’s adulation for a few seconds before a blinking red-screen causes the assembled masses to stop, save for a few lagging zombies who continue. “Now, if it were up to me, I’d call each of these teams a winner! But this is prime-time vidcasting, so there simply has to be a winner! If there wasn’t, well, all of you might kill me—for a second time, that is!

“So, for this episode of Pact World Warriors, the winning team is...”

TEAM STARFINDERS! Congratulations, the price is a deluxe holodisk edition of the Carrion Crooners Night at the Lion Academy!

A second rain of confetti follows, this time accompanied with lightly falling balloons covered in comical cartoon visages of Zo!’s face.

Well I'm sure they must be happy with that, as well as the title of winners of Pact World Warriors Quell continues the voiceover.[/b]

And good entertainment it was! Lethel says I for one hope to see them again in a rematch!

The rival team even has the decency to congratulate the Starfinders, with Rafelo quipping to GRIM You haven't seen the last of this pretty face.

Mia Moxie looks positively ruffled. I'll be visiting sometime real soon she says with a sugar-sweet but undeniably threatening voice and then, it won’t be a game show, but instead a full-on fight-night spectacle!

----

We're near the end here, please roll day job and I'll start reporting before I make the final post!

I'm still missing one RPG Chronicles entry, can Miink please add their details ASAP?

Vega was actually relieved when that was over although, she did admit that was really really fun. As the balloons fall, she catches one.

((No day job))

Hearing Rafelo comment GRIM*! takes out his comm unit and snaps a selfie video of the two of them, in it GRIM*! says.
"I hit Rafelo really hard a few times and he can still talk, Rafelo you're one tough guy I like that we could be friends."
GRIM*! streams it to his video channel

day job roll
Profession video personality: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

GRIM*! walks over to Vega still holding the flag
"I thought you had the flag, then they got the flag, then I thought you had the flag again but wasn't sure, so I grabbed the flag, then I thought you had the other flag, then it was over and I didn't have time to give you the flag back, so I saved the flag for you."
Then GRIM*! holds out the flag to Vega.

Thanks. I have to admit, I took some pretty good hits so I was sort of woozy near the end. Couldn't remember whether I had it or not.

She takes the flag with a grateful smile. She also returns Miink's weapon.

I guess I'd better buy my own now .... and stock up on healing serums - talk about being caught short - such a rookie mistake

Profession (Maintenance Worker): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Oshari seems to visibly relax as things wind down. "That was... enjoyable, I suppose."

Ariadne gives him a look.

He sighs. "Fine. I... had fun. Happy? And the safeguards were far more robust than I expected."

“So, for this episode of Pact World Warriors, the winning team is...”

TEAM STARFINDERS! Congratulations, the price is a deluxe holodisk edition of the Carrion Crooners Night at the Lion Academy!

He smiles. "Finally, some good music."

Mia Moxie looks positively ruffled. I'll be visiting sometime real soon she says with a sugar-sweet but undeniably threatening voice and then, it won’t be a game show, but instead a full-on fight-night spectacle!

"I look forward to it."

He turns to GRIM*. "I'm starting to get why you like this sort of thing."

Xoni's face is covered by her armor, so she does not have to fake a smile. She waves with all her hands and waits patiently for the red light to go out on all the cameras. She snags a few balloons as swag to give her kids and looks forward to getting back to Absalom station.

Miink grins and flies figure 8s over the group.

“We won! We’re awesome!!”

“Let’s do this again sometime. Maybe not soon-soon, but soon. We worked together really well! Vega, you were amazing. You took the hits and got back in every time. I’m so proud of you. Everybody was amazing! We’re ALL amazing!!”

Day job as a recycling artist: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

40 credits for the day job. Woot!

Vega blushed a bright blue at the praise

"Vega do you still need healing?" Zarzucket turns to the team. "It was nice working with all of you. I have my mind to give Zo! some words!"

Profession archaeologist: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Yeah ... I could use a bit thanks Zarzuket. But I guess I can rest in a healing bath on the way back to the station.

You know ... is there a zero-gee tag team on the station? I might sign up. And ... what sort of words? She looks generally curious.
