N Male Ysoki Operative 3 | SP 21/21 | HP 20/20 | RP 4/4 | EAC 18, KAC 18, CMD 26 | Fort +4, Ref +6, Will +3 | Init +5 | Perception +6

A ysoki decked out in last year's fashion enters the room. He also sports several angry burns and a new prosthetic right arm. "So, maybe I don't learn my lesson very quickly," he says to no one in particular, popping open a fizzy drink and pouring a serum of healing inside. "That or I'm a masochist. I hope not. But after having my arm shoved into a furnace, and that furnace being something's mouth, I'm a lot more raring to work than usual. Anything fun going on?"

Level 3 operative up for some danger, or a friendly chat on the station!

All seems good, thanks aplenty! A game well run as usual.

Chronicle looks good, except one thing that was on me. I forgot to add the +5 to Day Job checks from Budding Media Celebrity. Could you up my result by 10 credits? Thanks!

"The ghosts shouldn't come back. The outpost is fine to look around, but some of our friends might come there too. Don't worry, they're nice," Alimony reassures the locals. He partakes in however many races he is allowed to, or before the team has to leave. "Did the hermit skip town over a dislike of racing?"

A bit distracted, Alimony snaps to attention as he sees the exile collapse. He sheathes his gun and pulls out a pair of binders. "This'll hold," the ysoki smiles, fastening them securely. "Let's take him back. The others can decide what to do with him - execute, lock up, try to help him. Not as much of our business, that."

Alimony shakes his head in annoyance upon realizing he didn't buy a stun weapon. "Give up, while you can," he retorts.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Alimony edges into the room. "Relax, sir or ma'am, without the robots there needn't be any more violence. We can resolve - shooting!" The ysoki abruptly changes tack as he takes a shot.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Pistol vs. Pink: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 TA Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Even with the element of surprise, however, he misses. "Maybe we should end with stun weapons...?"

"Were the robots part of this powerful technology?" Alimony muses to the air as he ambles forward behind Will. "The laser, maybe." Though distracted, he checks the next door and button for problems.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Should he and everyone else fail to find any, the ysoki eagerly punches the button once all is ready.

"That didn't work too well," Alimony notes as the door opens. "Hi, robot."

All of a sudden, his gun is no longer behind his back, but pointed at its target. "Bye, robot."

Stealth, Trick Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Tactical Semi-Auto Pistol vs. Green: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 TA Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

He still manages to miss, though.

Alimony puts his pistol back at his hip. "In case you can hear us too," he calls to the intercom. "We don't have to mean any harm. A bit of solitude can help once in a while, but it might do to come back with us. If nothing else, could you hear us out?" The ysoki decides to omit the fact they killed the sky demon for now.

Just realized I wasn't trained in Diplomacy...well, let's see how this goes. Maybe he can't even hear us.

Diplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Should Darqen deem it safe, Alimony follows in, pistol at the ready.

Alimony manages to keep himself out of harm's way, following the android.

"There's a being over here," Alimony's voice crackles over the comm. He hurries into the new structure and helps Will lift, but is just too small.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 5 = 18

Athletics Aid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"Nothing else for it," Alimony mutters to no one in particular, hurrying after Will.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 5 = 28

Unable to shoot or scream at the storm, Alimony wearily continues trudging through it.

Alimony fares pretty well through the storm, though he is shocked by a stray bolt of energy and gripes a bit. Usually quicker on his toes, the ysoki has great difficulty crossing the bridge, if he manages to at all.

I'll hold off on moving until we see if I get flung from the bridge or something.

"They don't seem to wanna talk about others yet. Let's butter 'em up," Alimony whispers as an aside to his comrades. "We can rest here if need be," he adds to the glowy people. "But first, I'll take a turn in these cars." He then walks off to follow his fellow ysoki's lead.

Piloting: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Hoo boy, first contact again. Not that Alimony is tired of it, but he lets the others take charge. If asked directly, he replies with "I am Alimony, we are here to look around. Yes, we did kill the...demon." Otherwise, he grins and follows along.

Alimony is an Icon. This is his third first contact in three scenarios!

"An antique engine? Huh. That bears some looking into." With that, Alimony continues his quiet approach, not too fussed if the others don't follow suit.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

"Phew! That could've gone a lot worse," Alimony grins, getting his normal gear ready. "Time to see what'll kill us planetside, then?"

Divert to Weapons, DC 13: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
The only number I fail this check on! I don't think duonode bonuses can be retroactively assigned, so oh well.

Alimony continues drawing power to weapons, but is distracted by Medrick's talk of Strawberry Machine Cake and doesn't complete the charge. "You got the new album too? I'm surprised how many people were willing to stand through that line! If I hadn't been on assignment..."

"Exactly what I was going to say. What is that thing and can we please kill it back to Hell?" Alimony queries to no one in particular as he pulls additional power into the guns.

Divert to Weapons: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

All our damage rolls resulting in a 1 become 2s instead.

"I'd go for the Pegasus," Alimony muses, idly twirling a whisker. "They've got enough weaponry to keep the bad things dead, if not as much as the Drake. Plus the improved systems and engines aren't anything to sneeze at."

Darqen, you're +1 over me at both Engineering and Gunnery. Given that, I'd suggest you take the latter, as Engineering DCs are easier to hit.

A blinged-out ysoki creeps into the briefing room. Upon seeing Guidance, he relaxes and saunters out of the shadows. "Not Naiaj," he grins in relief. "Just got back from another mission, which happened to start with that gnome trying to kill me. Accidentally backflip into someone a single time..."

"But that's one for another day. Hey all! I'm Alimony. I specialize in talking to, shooting at, and fixing things."

After listening to any introductions, Alimony mulls over what he's heard. "I think that's my all questions. Discovered by AbadarCorp; expect anything. Sounds about right. We'll find the best answers on site."

Alimony helps the others explain the situation. "We'll see how it all goes, I guess. That's life," he concludes.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to...have a civil discussion with Venture-Captain Naiaj. I heard tell a ysoki got drugged and shoved into the nearest starship, so I figured she should know."

Thanks aplenty for picking me up to play, and to everyone else!

I've played both Cries from the Drift and the first Dead Suns, and enjoyed them immensely. If the latter is replayable, I'd be interested, but would rather my spot went to someone who hasn't done it before.

Alimony's head swivels back and forth as team talks it out. "All our points are valid in some way. They're doing fine right now, sure. But at some point this is getting out. That's just the way things go. Then we'll seem dishonest or something."

"I think we should talk to Klarima. She's curious, but I think we can trust her to silence - at least, for a bit. Then we can make a better decision."

Alimony starts looking very intent all of a sudden. "Yeah, this changes things. I also think we should tell 'em. Keeping the bandage on hasn't been our M.O. so far. Granted, this is even bigger than the whole space thing."

"Either way, it's going to be a toughie. The Society - or someone else - will probably be helping out a lot in the near future."

"In this case, though, I'd go for telling everyone. Even if it might lead to problems, it should top living in the slavery of ignorance. What I'm concerned about is trust, especially from the husks. Sure, we've been nice and done some favors. But would you believe some stranger who waltzed into your life and said your god was a lie?"

Asier-23-7 wrote:
”Does anyone have any idea on how to put a positive spin on this? Religions that started false and then became legitimized, or someway that this will not completely undercut the ‘husk’s’ legitimacy and way of life?”

"If they trust us enough to hear that out," the ysoki notes, but takes a moment to think about it. "Maybe we can tell them that their belief is more important. Nothing needs to change (in that regard), they can still use their magic."

Alimony inspects the generator, or at least tries to. "Not sure what's up with this junk heap," he frowns, poking it a few times. "That smart guy I trapped in my head must be on break. Are any of yours working?"

While other mechanically-inclined people check it out, the ysoki looks over the storage with glee. "Looks as if coming down here wasn't always taboo...?"

"Jeez, Ruuk, how do you keep exploding?" Alimony calls over conversationally, stepping forward. If the kasatha hasn't blown the robot to bits already, he fires again.

Alimony hurtles into the room, though he's still trying to mask his approach from the robots. When in a good position, the ysoki opens fire.

Alimony looks around, also poking at a pair of coveralls. "Why're these here if ghibrani don't come down? They'd probably fit one of them better than us. Think it's radioactive or something in there?"

Not expecting these questions to be answered, the ysoki draws his pistol. "Whatever. Ready to go!"

Alimony tugs Eli's sleeve. "Eli, what's a Pathfinders?" Heh heh.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Alimony first takes in the kahlgee's cheesy aroma, leading him to have a massive bite. His eyes bulge slightly. Only quick reflexes and a steel gut keep him from vomiting everywhere. Eventually, the ysoki manages to swallow. "Never tasted something quite like that before," he says neutrally. "What's it made of?"

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Alimony isn't too surprised when Albans' platform nearly pancakes him, though it is still rather gripping. "Doesn't seem like too many visitors come here."

He answers questions the Most Elevated have as best he can, still trying to water down the universe's size a bit. Should they provide titles to use, he does so.

When bidden to ask questions, the ysoki feels another tidal wave of curiosity welling up, but confines himself slightly for the time being. "So, the husks left some time ago. You two tribes seem to get along all right. I doubt they come here often, they don't seem to like the idea. Plus I haven't seen many stairs or elevators."

"But do you trade with them? How does this city sustain itself? There does seem to be a lot of automation, which'd be my dream come true."

Well that bandage got ripped off quick...let's see how much skin came off with it. Shell, I guess.

"She speaks truly, we don't mean any harm," Alimony chips in. "If you wish for a show of goodwill, name a problem. We'll see what can be done to help."

"Anyone who doesn't want to talk a cool new alien language, don't let her touch you. She means well," Alimony whispers to Asier and the others. "You'll be able to ask her yourself, but maybe hold off a bit. I'm curious too, though."

Similarly to how quickly he figured out the language, Alimony picks up the dance moves like lightning. As soon as a space opens among the ghibrani or another Starfinder picks it up, he enthusiastically joins a line. The ysoki's moves are graceful, and he looks happy as can be dancing.

Alimony frowns thoughtfully at Albans' observation. "Well, they do seem to possess some technology; perhaps that's up for barter. Sad to say, though, business'll have to come second. But an offering could help our case...."

Not a staunch follower of any god, the ysoki takes the deity of this relatively primitive people with a grain of salt. Still, he remains respectful. "I have not heard of this Mother Tuoloo. But perhaps it is by her grace that we made it here." He doubts that, but has heard less credible ideas.

To Dystane's comment about the Starfinder "species", he bites back a chuckle. "We are not all of the same...tribe. But as a group of like-minded people, we banded together to explore. Since you are new to us, perhaps you could answer some questions? We would be perfectly willing to field yours in turn." Should Alomir and Koseemo accept, the ysoki slowly reels off a mental list.

  • "How did you come to be? Was it the doing of your Mother Touloo?"
  • "You implied some ghibrani look different. How so?"
  • "What is that city? From what we could tell, people were living in it. Is there a quarrel between you and them that bars your entry?"
  • If the platform (or any wreckage thereof) is visible in the sky, Alimony asks, "We thought that might be...no, that's no moon. Do you have any idea what it is?"
  • "Do you require assistance with anything? One of my friends noticed your crops were having difficulty. We carry little food on us-" the ysoki draws forth a small ration pack, "-but we have more a short ways back."

I don't think so, but does that mean a check from me? I think translation is basically my check/aid. Just in case, if so:

"Anyway, Dystane here - that's the one who's talking - wants to know where we're from. I dunno if they've been off-planet before, so I'm going to take this slow. Oh, yeah! We should ask about the platform. And the force field, maybe. But again, slowly." With that, he goes back to clicking.

Culture: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
I don't think Alimony was up for when that happened. Maybe he found something similar when scrapping the platform?

Ghibrani:
Seeing Dystane as not incredibly formal, Alimony effortlessly changes up once more, becoming an even blend of formal and laid-back. "Who are we? I'm Alimony, and these are Albans, Eli, Ruuk, and Asier." He points out each of his teammates as he says their names. A bit unsure of how proper nouns work, the ysoki turns them into similar-sounding click strings. "As to where we're from, we live very far away. I doubt you'd have heard of our place."

He then translates Eli's statement, watering it down just a little so that 'world' becomes 'area'.

Alimony blows the smoke from his pistol, seemingly satisfied with one hit of three shots. Then he notices the presence of other beings, and listens to them chitter. He just stands there for a second, head tilted slightly. "So, not to go ysoki who cried wolf here, but I can understand them," he says. "I picked this one up in some old archive. Or a bar crawl...? Whatever. It's called Ghibrani, spoken by the people of the same name. Never found any such aliens in an archive, though."

"Not sure how good I am with it. And someone here's gotta be better with people than me, so I'll just be translator going forward. My contract gives me dibs on first contact though!" With that, Alimony closes his eyes and when they open again, it's as if a completely new ysoki emerges. This one is straight-backed, as reserved as need be, and strangely calm. He starts making the strange clicking noises back at the aliens.

Ghibrani:
"Well met. We are here to make friendly contact with anyone here and investigate the area. With regard for local rules, of course. There need be no more fighting. Would you be so kind as to direct us to an authority figure? Your leader, perhaps?"

When that is done, he gauges the aliens' reactions and repeats himself in Common for the team.

Alimony keeps on shooting crazily, a little closer to his mark this time. He's a little confused about the part where Ruuk explodes, but the kasatha seems only marred by bite marks so there doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

"You're welcome to get closer to it with that hammer, I'm staying here."

Alimony continues his routine of hiding the gun, reloading behind his back before he draws and fires from the less expected side. "Blam!"

Stealth, TA: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The trick comes as a slight surprise, but even more so is the several yards by which the ysoki misses.

"Nah, he doesn't seem too bad. Watch," Alimony replies as he quickly tiptoes across the dune. With the beast focused on Ruuk, the ysoki brings his gun to bear out of the blue and fires again. "Play dead!"

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Alimony manages to keep his cool, and hastily shoots his own semi-auto from the back of the line. "Bang!"

Attack vs. KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

He fares no better.
