GM S's "The Death of Kortos IV"

Game Master Chris Marsh

"Thanks!" Azara gasps as one of his companions digs him out of the rubble before he even fully realizes he is trapped. In the flurry of activity, he isn't even sure who it was.

As they move along, the chaos of battle only increasing, he begins to feel fear creeping in, marring his judgment, clouding his perception. He clears his mind by concentrating on the stars and their energy pulsing into and out of him and the face of a certain fire giant gives him a focus to narrow in on and serve as a goal. He has to live so that he can get back to her.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

The number of bodies is depressing enough. As he realizes who they are, he becomes resolved.

"Fallen are the innocent
And their defenders
We shall be their avengers."

perception #1 DC24: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28
perception #2 DC 20: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
perception #3 DC29: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

Gunnz pales, looking through the dust and smoke. "Did... Did you see that? The dragonkin breathed lightening right into Markosi.. If we have to face them in close combat, I hope you all have some type of electricity protection in place."

She sighs seeing all the bodies lying around "We need to get ahead if we are to stop more of them.."

Ohmarc gets pulled out the rubble and he pushes onward despite the ordeal.

Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27

When he sees the panicked citizens, Ohmarc calls to them to put them at ease, "We are Starfinders and we are here to get you out safely. We are about to send you to the landing pad south of town for you to evacuate. Do you know where the evacuation site is located?"

Suddenly a single bullet rings out, sniper!

Gunnz quickly determines that it came from atop on of the buildings - definitely the roof and not a floor part of the way up, but from this angle it's impossible to tell specifically which one. Looking around, She spots another, at the top of the monument*, and that was definitely not the one who fired. There's more than one!

Sniper: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

If only I could still fly.. thinks Gunnz. Then she remembers she can... well, with artificial aid.

Ishkitik takes some cover at the base of a building and fires at the revealed enemy. Ishkitok starts moving in that direction.

corona laser pistol: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
overcharged fire!: 2d4 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 + (6, 3) = 16

Ishkitik gets luck with the cover, tagging the sniper with a light hit.

He immediately returns fire:
shirren-eye rifle: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33 for DMG: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (5, 8) + 7 = 20

Another shot rings out, from somewhere else in the square:
shirren-eye rifle: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23 missing Lady Shrike

and again, from someplace different!
shirren-eye rifle: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28 striking Azara for DMG: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (9, 2) + 7 = 18

And a fourth time!
shirren-eye rifle: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18 missing Ohmarc

[spoiler=DM]
Red: 16 (Ishkitik marked for death)
Blue: (Azara marked for death)

Ohmarc runs for cover at the corner of a building and then fires up at the sniper!

Aphelion Laser Rifle: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Fire Damage: 3d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 6, 2) + 9 = 23

Azara mentally activates the aeon stone circling slowly around his head and a faint purple haze shimmers into existence around him.

He rushes headlong toward the tower.

It's a Purple Sphere Aeon Stone, so it works like a purple force field. 5 Temp HP which regenerate at 2HP at the end of each of my turns.

Ohmarc shoots, but misses well wide.

Azara steps into the hot zone, pulling up a force field for protection.

"Wheeee" says Gunnz, activating her jet pack and taking the quick way upstairs. She heads towards the closest of the assassins.

With her skyjockey feat, this gives her a move of 40. I've not moved Gunnz on the map as I'm not sure where the actual assassins are.

Gunnz takes to the air, allowing her to see the other three snipers Now on the map

Lady Shrike looks out at the sources of fire. The fewer snipers that are allowed to freely take potshots, the better.

"Snipers! Don't give them space!" she shouts before kicking her jetpack into overdrive and shooting across the pavement like a bullet!
ghost killer fangblade: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30 damage: 1d12 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28

Sky Jockey boosts her jet pack speed by 10 and Jet Charge allows her to charge (standard action) at triple speed.

Stuff like that makes me wish SF1 had Hero Points.

Lady Shrike streaks across the plaza, stopping only to bury her blade in the man's shoulder..

Yuqab sprints forward, ducking and weaving, leaping off obstacles and rolling behind cover as he moves. As he passes by Azara he takes a shot at the sniper by the fountain before diving for cover behind a tree. Trick attack, using Shot on the Run to fire before reaching my destination.

Acrobatics to trick: 10 + 26 = 36

I'm not sure what Finish means next to me? I though activating the jet pack was a standard action, if not, then I'm happy to double move with the jet pack to get closer (20' from) the same sniper that lady Shrike attacks.
Edit: looking at the map, I land on the nearby rooftop next to some cover I may be able to hide behind.

Gunnz: it was the word that came to mind for letting you move on the map now that you CAN see them.

Yuqab joins in the firefight with a shot on Red that defies the odds, missing cover and striking true.

That makes sense. Thanks! I think you may have forgotten to have the assassins fire at us..
Or do they need to spend a turn reloading?

Maybe just a case of an unclosed bold tag; I think it should be Ishkitik's turn right now (hence the "Go" vs. "TBD").

Ishkitik fires at the one on top of the fountain while her drone starts trying to climb the nearest building.

corona laser pistol: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
overcharged fire!: 2d4 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 + (4, 1) = 12

Athletics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

15 ft up the side of the building

The paladin maintains her position in the air, carving into her opponent in an attempt to put him down.

ghostkiller fangblade: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36 damage: 1d12 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27
Bleed on crit: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Just in case...

I... feel sorry for that guy

Yesterday was a mess. I feel like every time I tried to fix, post, or check Paizo the website was down. I did drop [/b] tag.

Ishkitik's shot rings out, but does not connect. Meanwhile the drone scurries up the side of the building.

The NE sniper trains his gun on Ishkitik, then down the side of the buildin at Ishkitok, but squeezes the trigger at Gunnz.
ATK: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16 MISS

The western sniper takes aim at Azara:
ATK: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26 MISS

The one on the monument stays trained on Ishkitik.
ATK: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23 MISS

And now face-to-face with a Starfinder, the one to the south drops his rifle to draw steel for melee:
Tactical knife v. Shrike: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28 MISS.

Wow!

In the moment after the stab, Lady Shrike responds with a wicked strike.

Azara changes his personal relationship with gravity and transitions from running across the pavement to running up the side of the monument with ease. He comes adjacent to the sniper up there but is unable to attack immediately.

Using my Gravity Boost Revelation.

Gunnz ducks behind the AC vent as she directs a quick shot at the Assassin in white.

trick damage: 5d8 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 7, 1) = 19

Trusting Azara to handle his initial target, Yuqab instead continues dashing forward, firing at the one on the western rooftop just before he dives for cover amidst the trees.

Hailstorm class zero pistol vs. cyan: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Off-guard to everyone on hit.

Azara's dash drws looks from the cowering civilians as the Starfinder team takes the fight to the snipers.

Gunnz and Yuqab both shoot their targets with practiced efficiency.

Ohmarc takes aim again and fires up at the sniper!

Ishkitok uses her jump jets to finish the trip up. It was too far from ground level.

Ishkitik and Ishkitok attack the same target.

Ishkitok storm doshko: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Now face to face, the team of mechanic and drone combine to wound the sniper! With the bleeding wound, the sniper is in rough shape. Clearly fanatical in their devotion, there's no sign of surrender:

White drops his rifle and switches to a knife:
Stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26
ATK: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 MISS
Bleed 10

Red tries to keep to his target of Ishkitik, rather than dealing with the foe before him.
Sniper: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 for DMG: 2d10 + 7 + 4 + 4d8 ⇒ (3, 4) + 7 + 4 + (1, 3, 4, 5) = 31

in return, cyan tries to peel Azara off of the middle sniper:
Sniper: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 for DMG: 2d10 + 7 + 4 + 4d8 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 + 4 + (5, 1, 2, 3) = 26

Loked in melee, the final sniper stabs at Lady Shrike:
Stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32
ATK: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 MISS

Lady Shrike remains hovering, surprised her foe is still standing after such a powerful blow. She strikes, hoping to put her opponent down so she can go help her allies.

ghostkiller fangblade: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23 damage: 1d12 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23

Ohmarc wounds the center sniper. Yuqab's shot also rings out with a hit. Meanwhile to the south Lady Lanius continues to effectively duel the sniper.

As the battle has progressed and Azara has drawn near the sniper, the song of the spheres has steadily risen inside him until it is a ringing melody that thrums through every atom of his body.

He feels like he's going to burst with the energy of the cosmos. So he does.

Supernova (Fire): 11d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2, 6, 6, 4, 5, 2, 6, 2, 4, 2) + 2 = 43 DC19 Refl for half

REF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 for a brief moment, the top of the monument shines with the light of a sun, illuminating the entire plaza. The sniper avoids death with a quick move, but he cannot escape the supernova.

Ishkitok moves forward, and both Ishkitik and Ishkitok attack the same target again.

Ishkitok storm doshko:: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
ouch!: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (4, 5) + 12 = 21 electricity

corona laser pistol: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
overcharged fire!: 2d4 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 + (5, 2) = 15

Two shots, two hits. The center sniper tumbles from the monument to bounce unceremoniously on the plinth! I just realized that you have a melee weapon. Operating on the assumption that's just the pasting.

The western sniper continues his barrage, taking a single shot and then reloading:
ATK v. Azara: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17 MISS

And the blade fight to the south continues:
Knife: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18 MISS

ROUND 4:
Ishkitik (SP: 21/72: Kill
-----Ishkitok (SP: -42): Melee weapon?
Snipers: Miss
Azara (SP: 0/98): Go
Gunnz: Go
Yuqab: Go
Lady Shrike: Go
Ohmarc (SP: 22/56): Go

TACTICAL MAP
GM’s Tracker
Party Conditions: Inspiring Boost: , Get'em:
Gravity:LOW Atmosphere: Normal
Lighting: Normal within 30' of the yacht, dim beyond.
Battlefield terrain: All squares with rubble, debris, and potholes are difficult terrain. Each tier of the monument is 5 feet high, for *a total monument height of 25 feet (counting the statue at the pinnacle). Each of the tiers is filled with three feet of water, except for the upper tier, which is drained of water. Buildings that remain standing are three floors high, with the rooftop 40 feet above ground level. There are no ladders or other exterior features that grant access to these rooftops. A PC attempting to climb the walls of these buildings must succeed at DC 22 Athletics checks to climb.

For a moment, Azara is disconnected from the cosmos and everything is dull and muted. He is no longer a cog in a vast machine that extends both directions in time, he is just a random collection of matter with delusions of meaning and purpose.

Then, the sniper tries to kill him and his need to BE triggers a reconnection to the true reality of his position in the universe.

He lays into his assailant with his solar weapon, the blade flashing like a meteor shower.

Solar Weapon (Flashing Blades): 1d20 + 14 - 3 ⇒ (9) + 14 - 3 = 20
Slashing: 3d6 + 1d6 + 18 ⇒ (4, 3, 3) + (3) + 18 = 31

Solar Weapon (Flashing Blades): 1d20 + 14 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 3 = 26
Slashing: 3d6 + 1d6 + 18 ⇒ (3, 6, 2) + (2) + 18 = 31

Had to update the map, but I believe Ishkitik was targeting your foe, Azara, and killed him.... but also Ishkitok posted as a melee weapon... Let's clarify first. (It's super useful to always include a target color. Anyone who is color blind, let me know and I'll use something else to differentiate.

Yuqab leaps from one tree to another, firing again as he flies between the limbs.

Acrobatics to trick: 10 + 26 = 36
Hailstorm class zero pistol vs. Cyan off-guard EAC: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20
Cold damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 5) + 5 = 16
Trick attack damage: 5d8 ⇒ (5, 5, 6, 4, 3) = 23

Off-guard to everyone if hit.

Ohmarc fires across the rotary at aqua blue!

Aphelion Laser Rifle: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Fire Damage: 3d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 6, 2) + 9 = 18

Gunnz hits the boosters and heads straight toward the blue sniper.

double move

Sorry about that! I though there was still a target on the roof with Ishkitok, hence the melee weapon. Maybe the slides hadn't refreshed for me yet. Ishkitik would have targeted the monument one in that case, and Ishkitok would have started climbing down.

Another strike from the Shrike!
ghost killer fangblade: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20
damage: 1d12 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

Lady Shrike puts her trust in her armor and and chances a quick bit of movement around her opponent, settling her feet on the roof to make future attacks more stable.

No problem! This makes Azara's post the actual kill shot.

It's hard to tell if Yuqab is lucky or good, but either way, the result is the same as a third sniper drops. It makes Ohmarc turn his aim south, where he shoots the remaining sniper.

Lady Shrike follows up on the recoil from the shot to take his head!

Out of combat

This specific firefight may be over, but the battle rages. The civilians by the monument crouch and cower. They also look to you for what to do next.
