Huck nods to Omni and then goes after the weak one. He lashes out with his Singing Star to injure, then goes for the legs with his capture pole to entangle it. Obnoxious Trickster Full Attack Lash:1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 15 - 4 = 23 Acid Damage:3d6 + 14 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) + 14 = 27 Dirty Trick to Entangle:1d20 + 15 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 7 = 23
Omni tries to bring some rest to the undead captain, landing a solid shot with a tentacle.
Huck feels the draw of the vacuum feeling pressure on his lungs DMG:2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 5) + 7 = 16. His strike also lands, but it's not enough to drop the weaker undead.

Stees continues firing on blue.
Auto trick CR 15 and below
Stees moves southwest for a clear shot at blue. Blue is automatically flat-footed against the attack. Uncanny Mobility prevents Stees from triggering an AOO by his target.
Laser pistol vs blue flat-footed EAC:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23 If hit, fire damage plus trick attack damage:3d4 + 5 + 5d8 ⇒ (4, 1, 3) + 5 + (8, 2, 3, 7, 4) = 37 If hit, blue is flat-footed to everyone until the beginning of my next turn.

Varuthalla has a tiny portal to the Plane of Air installed in her lungs to honour her sylph heritage - but she's feeling pretty darned good about that decision now, that she doesn't need to breathe!
She'll take two shots at White, following Omni's orders to focus on the weaker ones first.
First Shot vs White KAC:1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 18 - 4 = 31 First Magic P dmg vs White:3d10 + 11 ⇒ (10, 9, 10) + 11 = 40 Second Shot vs White KAC:1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 18 - 4 = 33 Second Magic P dmg vs White:3d10 + 11 ⇒ (1, 6, 6) + 11 = 24
Shoot! I didn't realize yesterday's post didn't take.
Stees feels the horror of their plight with the full weight of both undead: DMG:4d6 + 14 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 2) + 14 = 25. It doesn't matter, the shot is enough to drop the second foe!
All attention turns to the captain. Drei's aim is just barely good enough, but it combines with Varuthalla's shots to take down the captain! While still destroyed, the ship is cleared. You can return to your ship and relay your findings to Venture-Captain Naiaj.
The gnome venture-captain thanks you for salvaging some value from your fellow Starfinders’ sacrifice, immediately contacting other teams with urgent orders to reinforce the transmission tower at Bastiar-8. Before breaking off communication with you, Naiaj thanks them again, "We are in your debt. Stay safe out there!"

First choice would be Scout #4 or Action #2, whichever. Both are Starship missions, looks like, so - time to grease up the ol' Piloting Elbows, for Varuthalla, per our discussion on roles!
After that, I guess the only other option is Scout #5.
Bursts of energy light up near space as several jinsul starships self-destruct. A flight of victorious Starfinder ships darts between the jinsul wrecks, as if dancing on their proverbial graves. Venture-Captain Arvin’s image suddenly appears on a communications screen, his face furrowed with concern. “We just defeated this pack of jinsuls, but one of their scout ships escaped into the Drift. We can’t let it report our fleet’s position back to its superiors. Enter the Drift and stop that runaway!”
Drake or Pegasus? (Or if you've got a boon for another ship, let me know if you'd like to use it).
Starfinder agents have compiled reports detailing jinsul ground troop formations from a base camp on Agillae-2. Our strategists have devised a way to safely air-drop agents behind enemy lines in order to disrupt the jinsul infantry’s leadership. Given the high concentration of jinsul battalions on Bastiar-6, that seems the ideal place to strike.
Table GMs, the Ground Force Intel mission is closed, and the Paratrooper Strike mission in Part 2 is now unlocked.
Our salvagers managed to extract enemy strike coordinates from some of our felled starships orbiting Agillae-5. It appears the jinsuls’ plan to topple our long-range scanning towers on Bastiar-8’s fourth moon, which feed us all our information about their fleet movements in that system. We need stalwart warriors to stop the attackers so our data can keep coming in.
Table GMs, the Recovery Efforts mission is closed, and the Scanner Defense mission in Part 2 is now unlocked.

Second the Drake - this is definitely a combat mission. Are we in the Tier 10, or the Tier 12, version?

I'll let Janosian decide if Stees is our Engineer, or if we're using the sub-par Skitterpal.
If using Skitterpal:
Ayoka, a skittermander with black fur and distinctive red stripes, would try and Divert power to the engines so we could try and close with the enemy.
Divert DC 25:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Additionally, here's my piloting init, a bit early, sure why not.
Piloting Init:
Piloting init:1d20 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ again. Does the table mind if I take one of those Reroll Boons we earned in Mustering?

Stees can switch between engineering and science as needed. Since we're chasing the other ship, it sounds like we'll want to open with him in engineering to provide a speed boost?

Based on the Discussion, I'm using one of our re-rolls from Mustering to re-roll our Piloting Init. @GM S I dunno where the Fleets are (is that posted anywhere?) but I'm going to guess one of them is here, so we can use one of the "reroll when with Fleet" thingies?

Stees grins and rubs his hands together, then wiggles his eyebrows.
“Here we go, folks. Extra power to the engines!”
Divert to engines:1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23 If successful, adds +2 speed for this round’s movement.
Stees waits for the thruming sound of power hitting the system, but all he hears is a tinny beep-beep-beep. He follows the sound to a yellow warning light behind the engineering console.
An empty lockout tag hangs in the boost system's circuit breaker control.
“Argh!! Someone left a lockout tag on the boost system? Oh for the love of Livaria...”
He removes the tag and flips the boost breaker to ON.
Fixed some links. This tracker is from an older game and I missed a few things. Regarding Fleets, they're spread out during this part, and don't provide any of the nifty benefits. That means no reroll here.
Not quite used to flying together, the team knows what to do, but doesn't get the timing right. Fail on Targeting Aid and Speed Boosting.

Well, we both got 23 then? lol I'm assuming we still lose, cause I rolled a 1. "Buckle up, Starfinders, I'm punching it! Stees, overspool the heat bleeders, I'm doing a full burn!"
Spending the Free RP characters over lvl 8 get in SSC, Varuthalla uses Full Power to move 11 hexes straight forwards, putting us right up their Aft.
Jinsul's got a 25? (Let me know if I missed a penalty for them.)
Not interested in fighting when it's time to flee, the jinsul hits it
Piloting:1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40 They take off, flying evasively to avoid getting hit on their way out!
They launch an aft vandal rocket while turning the turret to aim its railgun:

Haha, whoops, no, I'm just bad at math XD
On that note, though - assuming we're in a Tier 10 Drake, our defenses are AC 17 and TL 16 + Varuthalla's 11 ranks in Piloting = AC 28 and TL 27, right? So their railgun's 25 should miss our AC, no?

Omni cues up the forward-arc weapons & those in the turret as well, planning on a broadside first strike.
Since it doesn't appear that anyone called on the computer +3 boosts (Mk 3 tri-node), she'll pull them into play as well for the two big weapons (the persistent particle beam & the heavy AM missile).
"Solid hits with the big guns. Plasma torpedo is questionable. We're through their shields & their hull took some damage. Unknown impact on critical systems."
My turn to be bad at math. I've got you in a Tier 8 Drake. You are correct!
The Starfinders open fire on their rear arc! The first shot deals heavy damage to the shields. Their turret crew isn't ready to deploy countermeasures, and the missile strikes it with a massive explosion. Your crit roll was power core, but that's two thresholds so CRIT:1d100 ⇒ 33Arc:1d4 ⇒ 4 Turret and Starbord arc are glitching!

Ruh roh, are the forums changing over already :D Well, catch as catch can, I guess!
Seeing that our quarry doesn't seem interested in turning to fight, Varuthalla calls out over ship's intercom to Engineering. "Full power to engines - we can't let them escape!"
I'd like a Divert Power to Engines, but that's just a request. Power to Weapons, or even changing to Science Officer to Target Systems on their engines, or whatever, is fine :)
If Stees moves to Science Officer, though, I'd use the Skitterpal boon to have our makeshift Engineer Divert to Engines.
A jinsul captive revealed that we have a traitor in our midst! A double-agent has been feeding sensitive information to the jinsul data center on Agillae-4. We need Starfinders adept at hunting fugitives to track this turncoat down and stop them from leaking any other valuable data.

Good idea. New Thread is HERE. I'm going to leave this one open until the game is over in case we need to check it. I'll let HQ know about the new thread so that we still get updates. I'll resolve Varuthalla's turn there.
