Albrik Gleyan's page

thanks from me as well. It was really fun - great balance between rp and combat and big chunks of inspiration for lore-diving. Especially for someone like me, who isn't very deep yet into the starfinder setting that's priceless!

It would be sinfull not to help, if one can do so with such little effort!, Albrik answers with an earnest face to Vics request.

It's such a relief that you still have one of those, Tocti - I spent all of Sarenraes gracefull gifts to defeat these crabs...or I could at least...
Albrik speaks a different prayer, consisting only of a few words. Nothing seems to happen, apart from the fact that his eyes receive an almost unnoticable glow.
he cast detect affliction - just to be sure, that she is alright apart from the wounds the serum took care of.

Albrik throws three of his "mini-suns" at the big guy:
magic missile full round: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 1) + 3 = 9
The whisp is up for another round and gives +2 to the next attack vs the big one sry, no. He isn't. I forgot that Albrik is still lvl 1

Moving along the catwalk Albrik says another prayer. Suddenly a glowing ball of light as big as a human head appears right above mamma-crab -dazzling her with it's light.
cast "whisp ally" - it provides harrying fire. So the next attack against mamma-crab gets +2

Albrik moves up the catwalk, holding his spear at the ready praying at the same time. Two small suns, the size of a fist, fly from the tip of his spear and hit the small crab on the walkway in front of him.
magic missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5

Albrik also moves to the edge of the water, but not inside. He's clearly frustrated, that he can't help.
Can't we move this person out of there? Whoever it is - we have to help!

Albrik is idly looking around the room as the others come in. As a reaction to Toctis warning, he hurridly steps back and takes a point to keep his hands to himself.

Chip, Norbert, Zarzucket - you know about all that technical stuff. Can you make something of this? I'll just take a look at the other room. does so.
more strange machinery - no idea what this is for. - he calls from the other room.

can we determine from where the signal comes from?

"Great work, Norbert and Chip! What would we have done without you. But now someone obviously needs our help!"
Albrik moves directly towards the signal.

Albrik moves up as far as he can without having to dance around the discharges, hoping that Norbert and Chip manage to close the gates completely.
please be really carefull - these gates are as thick as they are for a reason.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
yes, please try to close them. These spheres are made from Abysium.
Albrik waits, what Norbert can achieve at the terminal, before he tries his luck.

Albrik takes one of the bottles and looks up with a doubtfull look.
I,m not very good with such things - but noharm in trying, I presume
He waits for a drop to fall and tries to catch it
Acrobatics: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 11

Albrik quickly puts down his spear on the ground and saysput down your weapons, please - this one is very much afraid of us
Then he tries to get nearer to the creature, trying to act as non-aggressive as he can think of, still paying close attention to it's reaction and watching out for signs that it understood what he just said.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

For the moment Albrik just follows Pinkiee casually and tries to assess the rection of the crouched figure:
sense motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

a buttery cupcake? How would that help exactly?
Albrik is still thinking hard about nonverbal communication and is a few mental steps behind therefore.

After his first attempts provided no result, Albrik stubbornly keeps on trying his luck with signlanguage, trying out several more "universal" codesystems. Combined with Norberts fluteplay the scene probably looks like a bad pantomime-performance.
Culture: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
oh yes...it definitely does!

This is Golarion?...strange. It looks so peacefull.

When meeting the creature Albrik tries a few handsignals from his native language which he himself estimates as rather universal.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Albrik stops for a moment to look closer at the pictures, trying to make sense of what he is seeing.

Albrik has really enjoyed some time out of his hardsuit. Especially the interest with which the students met his teachings did a lot to brighten his mood. But when Vic tells them the bad news, he becomes serious again.
Of course! That is exactly why we are here: to help you against the perils of this place. If everyone is ready, let's depart immediately!

I'm glad that you did survive this experience...I hope you don't mind me asking: is there a reason, you didn't have your eye restored by magic? Or replace it with cyberware?
When they reach the school, Albrik proposes:
Maybe I can just watch one of your lessons first and have an eye on your students to see if any of them need help...then later I can think about a few things, I can teach them myself.
If Sam agrees, Albrik introduces himself to the students, joins them during the next lesson and tries to figure out, if there is a motivational issue or something else, he can help with from "ground level":
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

If nothing interrupts the proceedings, he then starts his own lesson about the different cultures of the pactworlds he has either experienced himself during his travels or read about.
To anyone interested (he stresses that noone has to attend), he also offers a lesson on the history of Sarenrae and caps it off with a small ceremony in her honor.
culture: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Albrik would probably be suitable for the teacher-job. I'd take it, if that's fine with everyone.
"I see you are looking for someone to educate your young - the light of Sarenrae is warm, sometimes burning painfully. But it's also the light of reason. I would take up the challenge, if you want me to."

"Greetings Lourvictrix,..."
Albrik introduces the whole group, one by one, himself last:
"...my name is Albrik. We are members of the Starfinder-Society, sent to bring you some supplies and see if you need any help. But I must say, you seem to have things rather well in hand."

Not having fought really, Albrik doesn't need the break and instead tries to talk to the lashunta individually and calm their nerves. To Chips explanations he adds: "The society assumed that you are probably not aware, that this part of the station is not safe and wanted us to find you in time...seems to have just worked"
In general Albrik tries to have a soothing effect on the group:
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
I really pissed of Desna somehow

Albrik touches the symbol around his neck and says a short prayer. Searing, colorfull lights start to dance around yellow-thugs head.
cast Daze on yellow-thug - Will-Save DC 13
Growling and readying his spear, Albrik moves in, sidling slightly around the man so that he might turn his back to Pinkiee and Checker.

Realizing that his Intimidation was unsuccessfull and seeing that blue is covered by the others, Albrik grits his teeth and tries to get nearer to yellow as fast as he can. move twice

As Albrik realizes what's happening, he narrows his eyes and growls brandishing his spear: "you really want to attack these people? Don't you think, they have enough problems without you?
If you were hoping for easy targets, now is the best time to turn your tail and get lost!"
Intimidation: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Obviously the effect is rather comical...

Albrik took some time to listen to the streetmusic, while the others talked to the old lashunta. Therefore he is a bit behind the others and comes late to the fight.

Albrik has been eating a meat pastry with as much attention to table manners as possible with a canine muzzle. On Chips comment, he radiates keenness to delve further into the topic
"You are right of course - and I have been thinking along the same lines for most of my life. But being close enough to the sun...being able to receive her lifegiving warmth... that's not just a matter of distance. It's a delicate balance between a lot of things...Hope plays a big part in this. And the fine machinery of wanting, success, failure, exultation and despair...anyway: I've never been to the Ghost Level. It's just my impression from what I heard, that it's a bit too much of a dark place..."

Realizing that the meaty smell of food has distracted him enough, to skip his introductions, Albrik quickly adds:
"You can call me Albrik, by the way. I'm a novice at the temple of Sarenrae. Glad to see you again, Norbert - we had the pleasure recently - and glad to get to know you all. I don't know about you, but I could get used to being briefed here..."
After hearing about the mission:
"I'm always happy for the occasion to help those in need and to carry the light of Sarenrae to a place that is a bit too far away from the sun!"

Albrik has been keeping himself busy in the temple: whenever his duties or his personal studies in the library allow it, he tries to think about what he learned during his last summoning to the academy - something about the true difference between life and matter probably or about not letting himself get mauled by security bots - he's not sure yet, when the message reaches him.
At the pastry shop, he audibly sniffs the air
"the sampler sounds perfect - smells like we would have a hard time choosing"

Hey, we just finished 5-11 together at GM Blazej's table and I'm looking for a follow up. Are these pbp in the forums here? I'd sign on for Ghost Level Delve then.

Yes, these games all take place on the Paizo forums. I'll likely start this game somewhere in the coming week.

Seeing as how the interest mainly seems to be for 5-14, I'm recruiting for a second table, in the same place Here. Will start if/when legal.

Great! Looking forward to the game. How will you distribute the links to gameplay? Via personal messages?

Zoey is currently unavailable to announce this, just like many adventurers who are busy running missions in Outpost. Nevertheless I want to bring your attention to recruitments for

5-11 Archivist's Inquiry (1-4)
5-14 Ghost Level Delve (1-4)

You can sign up HERE. First come, fist serve, and we'll start as soon as a table is full (which will likely only be after Easter)

Hey, we just finished 5-11 together at GM Blazej's table and I'm looking for a follow up. Are these pbp in the forums here? I'd sign on for Ghost Level Delve then.

Thank you. That makes things clearer.

That's good to know. Thank you! I saw it in the recruitment forum, but always suspected it to be just a special campaign. But that explains, why it's so difficult to find starfinder games in the normal recruitment threads.
I'll take a look at it. I could definitely get used to having a starfinder-game going.

Another question as this is my first society game: in the sheet I received from GM Blazej it seems like we gained 1XP? I didn't expect to lvl up immediately, but that seems to be an odd number. And the items at the bottom? They are just the things any of us collected during the game?

Thank you for having us at your table. It was a pleasure! Are you already having plans for another game?
Concerning day jobs: didn't think about it that much. But I suppose Albrik is doing his duties as a low ranking priest at the nearest temple of Sarenrae, when the society doesn't need him.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Reflex save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Albrik manages to avoid most of the debris. He looks around startled for a moment. Then he walks over to Almina, kneels down and prays
Greet this lost soul with the warmth of your light...
he casts stabilize - which probably does nothing in this situation. But without the med check he can't know that.

The definition of insanity is trying the same effort and expecting different result, RZMR states

I don't know! It works with nails for example...in the end the difference between madness and persistance is often the end result. Which you can only find out by trying.

Looking at RZMR:
you really see no way for getting her out? With all the subduing of the systems here you have been doing? I really don't like the idea of leaving her in there.

As soon as Albrik has recovered from his stumbling, he starts to pray again, touching the symbol on his chest. With a brightly glowing hand (or paw) he touches Chance's armor, where the thing has ripped into it. The wounds immediately start to close.

Mystic Cure: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

I hope, that helped a bit...

Albrik rushes to Chance's side and charges the creature (if it's still up)

charge attack vs KAC: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Slipping on a puddle of blood during the charge and almost loosing his weapon.
if the fight continues, he's going to heal Chance next turn

Having put on the armor, after none of his comrades seemed to be interested in,

I could make use of it as well. But when I read about it, the fight had already begun and I'm totally fine that you keep it. Doesn't the Dex-cap hurt you?

Albrik wrinkles his snout
what a terrible smell...what did they do here

He starts to pray again and again the tip of his spear starts to glow with a bright light. But this time three seering hot globes (almost looking like miniature suns) shoot from the spear, hitting the ooze.

Magic Missile full round: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 1) + 3 = 9

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
go ahead, open it... don't see why we shouldn't

Don't worry. I wasn't serious. I already had my fill of brawling with machines today. Our friend here has just a very peculiar way of expressing some things.

What do you mean? Should we hit the screen?

Albrik is quite flustered and panting heavily when Chance finishes the last bot.
Thank you. I'd love to say I would've managed him alone...but I'm not so sure...

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

He points to the stylized "Y" on the neck of the bot lying in fron of him on the ground.
look at that. Any idea, what that might be?

Snarling angrily, Albrik follows the white robot and tries to sink his glowing spear in one of the holes left by Mizzryms laser
vs EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
possible dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
But in his anger, the attack is sloppy and glances off harmlessly.

Albrik yelps a bit, when the pistol round hits. But after seeing Chance attack yellow, he walks around Trill and stabs at the white robot:

vs EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
possible dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Everlight, let me bring your flame into the empty shells of those automatons...
As he is praying, the holy symbol on Albriks chest starts to glow. Within seconds the light starts also to take effect on the tip of his spear, which starts to shine with an inner light by itself
cast phase blade as a swift action

Then he moves up to Trills side and tries to find an opening in the blue robots armor plates:

attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
possible dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

by the way: Albriks Ini is only +1
