GM Frost's SF2 Playtest Scenario #1: Shards of the Glass Planet [PbP Gameday XIII] (Inactive)

Game Master Frozen Frost

ref: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Faraday evades the falling energy shards and continues to do so. 1 Success to Disable

Chi heals Navasi to keep her alive in the midst of chaos, but ponders what is life.

Rolling second reflex for Obozaya...
DC 16 basic Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 vs 4 B damage Success, 2 damage

Obozaya is not that fast to outrun what is falling above them.

Will this disaster be their end?

Luna is having a hard time dealing with the other shards that continue to fall on them.

Another shard lands nearby, dealing 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 bludgeoning damage to each creature (DC 16 basic Reflex save).

Faraday once again attempts to outrun the energy shield's collapse.

Athletics vs DC 17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 (Success!)

ref: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

It is obviously not her day. She gets flattened under a shard.

reflex save DC 16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Despite getting a solid blow to the head from flying debris Navasi manages to dodge the collapsing shield.

"Hang in there Luna!"

Faraday outruns other shards while being hit by the broken pieces. Success

It looks like luck is not on Luna's side again.

Navasi is unlucky that more is thrown at her when the fallen shard breaks near them but dodges the rest that follows.

Chi takes advantage of the life force that seeps around the area to counter the falling shards and provides some healing for Luna.

Obozaya: DC 16 basic Reflex save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 Success, 1 B damage

ENCOUNTER OVER!

I am giving everyone a hero point each for surviving that!

With no more falling energy shards to threaten the path toward the magitech tower, they can proceed to go there. You have ten minutes to do healing before you can proceed to the magitech tower destination.

Ow ... ow ..... ow ..... ow. That really really hurt. Thanks Chi - again

Faraday sighs and pants a bit after the exertion, but smiles. "We have once again prevailed! Allow me a moment to reforge my solar blade. I am thinking it may be wise to put a little distance between me and my foes if they might be as large as our last ones."

Faraday will accept any healing offered, but will spend the 10 minutes concentrating to reforge his solar blade into a greatsword to give it reach.

Solar Weapon after Reforge: sword group, slashing damage, trait: reach

Chi uses a 3 action to heal everyone
Heal: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Then refocuses to fully charge his vitality network and transfers vitality fully healing everyone but himself
vitality network 0/10

"Thank you - a bit of a rush there!"

"What an unfriendly place"

After healing everyone, the Starfinder proceeds to the location of the magitech tower. Wobbly robotic drones with arms bearing various tools fly through the jungle to attack them, whom they perceive as meddling with the magitech that they’re supposed to keep in good working order!

Drone A closes in and sprays a torrent of water at Faraday.
Hydraulic Push Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 vs Faraday AC 18 +2 Defend

It misses its target.

Obo takes a few shots at Drone C

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage 1d8 ⇒ 4

Attack 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5
Damage 1d8 ⇒ 3

Attack 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (7) - 5 = 2
Damage 1d8 ⇒ 8

Shooting wild.

◇Attune to ✧Photon when rolling initiative

Faraday Strides◆ to approach the robot B.

Faraday thrusts his left hand into the air at the robot and fires a burst of flame from his solar flare◆.

Faraday Solar Shot: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
✧Photon-Attuned 1d6 fire, 30' range. On a critical success, the target also takes 1d6 persistent fire damage.
Persistent Fire Damage on Crit: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Then Faraday Raises his shield.◆

I'm not sure how height affects distance and I've gotten as close as I can in one movement. Solar Shot is a cap of 30' range, not a range increment. If I'm not close enough to hit with Solar Shot, I'll instead draw my Boom Pistol and fire off a shot. Same mods and damage dice, just sonic damage instead of fire, and I obviously wouldn't be raising my shield.

None of Obozaya's wild shooting hits the target. Faraday attunes himself to light upon the drones' arrival. He moves close to Drone B and takes his shot or from his boom pistol but misses. He then raises shield.

Not sure about the rules for abilities with range instead of range increment, perhaps the same for spells that it will miss if not within range?

And Navasi gets to bring down the last drone that is attacking them.

COMBAT OVER! WELL DONE!

After defeating the robots, the Starfinder can continue safely to their final objective. At the nearby magitech tower, they’re able to send a signal to temporarily stabilize the collapsing energy field. Instead of falling in great shards to the surface, the energy shield slowly dissipates into the atmosphere. With the planet once again in relative safety, the Weydanites begin the process of establishing peaceful relations with the Alithee Alliance.

While the Alliance is eager to reestablish itself in the modern era, multiple Alithee Alliance factions are still convinced that war against the Sivv Dominion is imminent. Some believe the Alliance should test the quantum technology further to see what other uses it might have, or perhaps vanish for several thousand more years to remain safe from invasion. The future of the Alliance remains uncertain.

-FIN-

Thank you for playing the playtest scenario. I will get the game reported to HQ.

Woohoo!

Thanks all!
