"And with that dear viewers, we wrap up this episode. Hope you all enjoyed it, and I'll catch you all next time out there. Remember, keep reaching for the stars!"
Using his Agile Casting, Altef takes a step forward and casts Overheat, fanning a spray of fire over both of the critters, then continues and stops adjacent to any remaining estri.
"...and a special thanks to one of my sponsors. Whenever I'm relaxing at home on Absalom Station, they're my goto spot for fast delivery. So everyone make sure to give em a call some time, and reach out to Sen.... oh, hold on. Think we may have found our little pests maybe. Hank, keep me in frame, but try and get a shot of our allies too."
Altef comes around the corner and squeezes the trigger.
He's not? he has to stay close by me, as we wander around. if there's really nothing else in here aside from the critters, he's recording footage of the caves.
it's like watching a car chase in a movie not a morning commute. you don't want to see them sitting around at all the stop lights or waiting in the drive thru for their coffee. that is wholly uninteresting...
so yes, we're looking in the rooms and checking this place out until SOMETHING happens.
Altef follows behind the others with his blastin' stick in hand. Meanwhile, Hank, the Unseen Servant, records the icy caves until anything interesting pops up.
Moving forward with the rest of the group, keeping slightly behind. As we had warning that these creatures might still be found here and are dangerous, Altef will have his shotgun out and ready.
Altef picks up the stylus device and looks it over.
"Sounds simple enough. Take this and poke the beastie. The thing that kills people with it's disease. Should make for an interesting struggle to say the least."
Turning to his fellow Starfinders, "Thinking now might be a good time to drink our vitamin C and pop any supplements you might have. If you need something, I might have a few things that could help."
"Citizens here are in danger and being threatened by these devilish little estri. Tell me doctor, what information do you have that you can share about these creatures?"
Altef leans towards the camera a bit more.
"And if anyone out there is watching, any aid you can send to these people that are suffering or have lost love ones, would be an amazing gesture."
While Xin-Haran is showing them how to do some space tai chi, Altef Orr gets set up to run a short stream.
from my theme, "You are famous enough that pretty much everyone has either heard of you or can quickly find information about you (it’s a DC 10 Culture check to recognize your name and a DC 20 Culture check for someone to recognize you out of context from your appearance alone)."
Turning on his holographic sashimono and getting Hank in position, Altef gets their attention.
"Hey hey everybody out here in Frostville. You all seem like you're having a pretty bad day, so Altef is here so spread some cheer. Who here is interested in Strawberry Machine Cake?"
Casting Token Spell, Altef will make some minor trinkets to hand out to people and generally mingle with them telling stories of his adventures and news of things happening off-world.
kept it as spoiler free as i could for myself, grabbed the maps and monsters that you should need. it's also open for editing, so everyone should be able to adjust themselves as needed.
uh... I guess I’ll pull out my Breaching gun and blast the staggered one? Will try to position myself behind Xin and Marveen if possible. Not sure where that’s put me as far as range goes...
Attack vs KAC:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 Damage (half piercing, half fire, all counts as magical):2d10 ⇒ (7, 2) = 9
We dyed eggs and such. Older kids complained that they didn’t want to goto grandmas and hunt for eggs, but sure didn’t hear em complaining when their eggs had candy and money like always. Lol
”Think that’s about as good as I’m gonna get it. Unless you want to come up here and check it over Yost? You seem like you are pretty handy with the tech stuff. Maybe we can learn from each other.”
”Ok Hank, I’ll be back shortly. Let me hang onto the camera.”
Strapping the vid am to his shoulder, Altef pulls himself up using the cable.
Athletics:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Once up near the malfunctioning equipment, he pulls out some tools and gets to work.
”Thanks for the line Xin-Haran. And thanks to xXShad0wV3skXx for the stream tip. Much appreciated there bud. I was going to bring it up soon, but yes, I am still looking for a distributor, but once I get that locked in, I’ll be setting up a merchant store for everyone to check out told you want to keep supporting the channel and my adventures. “
aye, unless these are in the way and preventing us from getting to the power source, I was hoping to head there first. if we do need to tackle these first, I guess I would try to help with the boredom. seems like something an icon/technomancer should be moderately capable of doing :)
With Hank and camera following at a close pace, Altef nods along as Taksta relays the troubles.
"Alrighty, I think I could manage working on the computers or repairs if need be. I agree with Yost, getting the power up and running again seems like it might be a good place for to start, for me at least, since medical stuff, well, that's not exactly my forte."
as I stated previously, I would cast Life Bubble on myself, assuming I cast on the first day we headed out, today would be the last day of the 3rd casting for it. Unless anyone does NOT want it, I am happy to give the benefits to the whole party.
Life Bubble:
Targets up to one creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
Duration 1 day/level
Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
Description
You surround the target creatures with a constant and movable 1-inch shell of tolerable living conditions customized for each creature. This shell enables the targets to breathe freely in a variety of atmospheric conditions (including in corrosive, thick, thin, and toxic atmospheres), as well as underwater or in a vacuum. It also makes the targets immune to harmful gases and vapors, including inhaled diseases and poisons as well as spells with a harmful gaseous effect. In addition, the shell protects targets (and their equipment) from extreme temperatures (between –50° and 140° F) without having to attempt Fortitude saving throws, as well as extreme pressures.
Life bubble doesn’t provide protection from energy damage, negative or positive energy (such as found on the Negative and Positive Energy Planes), or radiation; it also doesn’t provide the ability to see in conditions of poor visibility (such as in smoke or fog) or the ability to move or act normally in conditions that impede movement (such as underwater).
"Ok, so... cold and having an outbreak of some odd disease. Anything you know about either of those things might be handy info. Especially this 'Gutmelt'. That sounds highly unpleasant. How is that getting spread around?"
As the “night” cycle on the station grows long, Altef wraps up his stream. Most of the crowd has disbursed by this point, but a few eager fans stick around to see if there will be an after party.
Altef moves back over to the cluster of Starfinders before departing.
”Alright folks, you have a great evening. Marveen, I’m still waiting to hear back from Cel, but you know how these things go. See you in the stars”. He winks at the group, then heads out to catch a hovercab to his quarters.
Moving out onto the dance floor and mingling, Altef casts Token Spell producing small trinkets, which he then makes glow dimly, handing these out to nearby fans.
In small breaks in the music, he’ll cast Ghost Sound to add to the cheering of the small crowd.
Looking towards the camera. ”Hey hey everybody, don’t forget to come on down to the Fusion Queen tonight. Always a good time to be had!”
Before we get started, a couple things i should mentions for my character.
1. i regularly have Life Bubble cast on myself (generally at the start of a scenario and will offer it to other players at the table as well, so i have no issue expending a spell slot to cover anyone that wants it).
2. i keep the unseen servant cast into my spell cache, lets me keep him summoned for an entire day now, plus if he's destroyed or dispelled, i can spend 5 minutes to bring him back.
3. have a boon that lets me select a non-magical weapon or armor up to my level +1. (has 3 check boxes empty prior to this scenario being played) i'll be snagging a breaching gun, snub. i have also purchased a couple fusion seals to go on it (conserving and invigoration). with seals, it takes 24 hours before they kick in... not sure how you want to adjudicate that GM, but i'll leave it to your discretion if they're ready at the start of play or if i have to wait a day first. :)
"No worries about the drink. Name is Altef Orr, and that's Hank. He's a bit... well, transparent. He's hardly a drone, those things just eat up batteries and require too much input on my end. Nah, Hank's an magical creation. We head out to parts unknown and see what kinds of footage we can bring in. So far, one of the highlights was when we got to help out on a security detail for a Strawberry Machine Cake. Even ended up on stage briefly." Altef pulls out his datapad and shows a few images from the concert. In particular one with him dressed up in a costume similar to Tsuchi-ko.
Turning towards Marveen, he shakes the big guys hand.
"Hey, thanks for being a fan. Always nice meeting folks out in public. Maybe we'll get to work on something soon. I'll ping Celita and see if we can arrange something."

Strolling on in to the club accompanied with a floating vidcam, dressed in a jacket with brightly colored logos showcasing several different corporations and products. Altef steps in and heads right to the bar to order a drink.
"Evening. Something cold that'll warm me up please." He winks at the bartender, paying for the drink with a decent tip and pulling out some paperwork. "You don't mind if i record in here do you? Used to come in here a few years back. Now that I've got a chance, I'd like to hype the place up if you're cool with it."
After getting the go ahead from the barkeep, Altef Orr starts up his Holographic Sashimono, displaying his channel logo and turns towards his floating camera. "Alright Hank, keep the logo in frame, and pan the crowd occasionally. Want to show this place off to my fans."
"What's up Absalom Station! How is everyone doing tonight? It's your favorite explorer slash monster blaster, Altef Orr. Got a little something different for y'all tonight. I'm taking a trip down memory lane and mixing things up at The Fusion Queen tonight. Come on down and hang out if you want!"
Moving through the patrons with the camera following, Altef spots the Izalguun and Draelik off to the side. His eyes light up as he notices the Starfinder ingina on Xin-Haran.
