Altronus - Thewissen's page

i am such a stupid noob I just figured out there is a map with my token on it...no wonder I have been confused

Damn. I'm sorry, Madchappy. I hadn't realized and I would have told you had I known. You're just a noob, though (as I am). You're not stupid.

Also, for when it becomes relevant:

Altronus struggles to free himself from the goo.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Which he does extraordinally well.

"I mean I could just do this..."

"Or you could just not--"

Altronus covers his face with his arms, closes his eyes, feels the contents of the grenade impact against his body, and opens his eyes.

"Sigh."

It was for the second round, Poblano, right after my readied action. But don't worry about it. I don't mind missing a turn if it means we get to "watch" the development you just described.

Is it OK, then, if I aim my attack at Borgor's head?

"Let's try to take out the wicked side, friends," Altronus shouts. "Perhaps we can reason with the other one."

Altronus attempts to move over the crates...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

And positions himself right in front of the ettin to slash at its gut with his solar weapon.

Solar Weapon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (4) + (2) + 6 = 12

Altronus flinches to a side as Obo is hit. Why can't it ever be a peaceful solution?" he sasy as he aims and shoots at the left head.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Perception: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"You shot at the wrong Vesk, you power hungry idiot."

"I can safely say that I am not the wisest elf in the forest," says altronus. "But uh... I'll take a risky guess."

Wisdom: 1d20 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 4 = 9

Ugh!

After Raia opens the door, Altronus thanks her.

"Thank you Raia. I really do enjoy working with you."

Altronus enters the room and will stand at the ready, solar weapon activated, in case something or someone bursts into the room through the eastern entrance.

Altronus uses a double move to go up the stairs and check whether it's locked or opened.

I believe a double move prevents me from opening the door, so what I intend to do here is the equivalent of "trying to twist the knob" to see whether the lock is on or not.

Altronus grabs his solar mote and turns it into a blade, moves 30 feet forward, and taunts the orange goblin.

"The dark doesn't do much to hide your ugliness, orange little monster."

I ready a standard action to attack any enemy that moves adjacent to Altronus, and Altronus becomes photon-attuned

Look at me sucking at initiative. Wooot!

Altronus clears his throat. Ah, yes. That's usually what happens when you turn a light on in darkness. Moths are attracted to it." He looks at his Vesk teammate and shrugs. "I take it you're not into surprising the enemy, Obo?"

"It would be wise to let Iseph explore ahead, says Altronus. Let us determine what awaits us, and act upon that knowledge."

Altrnus chuckles, enjoying Obo's joke.

"No need to play, Obo. I'll gladly pick up that round regardless"

Altronus fires the front gun, hoping to help dwindle their enemies by concentrating fire on Obo's targets.

Forward Light Beam: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6) = 10

"Yes!" he shouts. "Silly Goblins, you should go.
We're not playing with our guns.
Turn around, go and cry.
You can live if you run.

Forward Light Beam: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 6) = 16

Altronus growls in frustration.

"Thank you, Iseph," Altronus says after witnessing the Android's swift piloting. He then aims for the blue ship's starboard side and...

Forward Light Beam: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 2) = 5

"Damn these crazy little bastards," he curses crossing his fingers, hoping Obo can hit them with her next shot.

"Take it as a challenge, Obo. Do what you do best, and Iseph will do what Iseph does best. Your victory will only be greater if you manage despite the difficulties."

Forward Particle Beam: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 6) = 11

BOOM! Critical, baby!!! Something's gonna glitch >:D

Well, to speed things up, I'll roll for two scenarios.

In case I can fire the forward light beam:

Altronus presses the attack on the blue ship and fires on it.

Gunnery Light Beam: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1) = 7
Replacing 1s with 2s: 9

In case I can't fire the forward gun:

Altronus fires on the port side enemy ship.

Gunnery Laser net: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

Altronus checks the monitors of his gun station while swaying his head slightly from side to side.

"ta da da da you be blind.
ta da da da we will find
ta da da da depleted shield
ta da da in our star field"

I'm trying to get the text to be smaller to indicate that he's whispering it but for some reason, the tags won't work.

Altronus makes use of the 17 boring days to put together all the information and recordings he's recollected with his datapad. He then goes to Raia.

"Raia, would you please back this up in the ship's computer? It's just compilation of all the information we've gathered along our enterprise."

"So where will we start on the moon?"

"After getting past the junkers, I believe the spire Livewire mentioned would be a good place to start."

As the party is leaving the Sauna, Altronus smiles to himself. It's always nice to see peoples connecting. Especially the nice, palyful way his Ysoki companion and Livewire did.

"Let's hope we find her kit," he says. "I do feel she deserves a break from all the bad luck she's experienced lately."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15

Altronus puts his four hands behind his back, smiles under his cloth as Livewire speaks, and hopes his party doesn't try to bargain a lower price for her information. He likes her quite fine.

He then looks at Navaso, hoping he'll take her paw.

What can we do for each other?” she finishes with a wink towards Quig.

Aaaaaawwwwwwwwww :3

Altronus coughs and...

Bluff: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4

...does a horrible job trying to conceal a chuckle.

Altronus follows along.

Bluff: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

Altronus coughs, putting a hand over his mouth. Once his fit is over, he covers it with the cloth again and turns to the group with watery eyes.

"I'm afraid my palate is as unrefined as that of you inmates, Warden. I apologize deeply for that."

He walks over to his seat and takes it. "Ah. If you don't mind my asking, why are your fundings dry? And what other carreers do the rest of your constituents practice?"

He then turns to the group, and explains. "You see, our gracious host is a combination of barathus. They came together to form a single superior being."

Knowing it would be better to please the warden to grease the wheels, Altronus stands, takes a bowl and a glass, and walks over to a corner with his back turned to the others to try the food and drink.

Life Science: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Agh. Unfortunately, I do not get to read the spoiler. Oh, wells.

"I hope you don't take it as an insult, sir. Us Kasathas are not in the habit of showing our mouths in public. Could you tell me what your refreshments are, however? I would relish a chance to acquire and try them by myself later."

Altronus leaves his whole bag behind, along with his pistol. All he takes with him is the small mote of yellow light orbiting his head, and 1 serum of healing.

Don't like having to give up my weapons. Probably not an ambush. I can always rip their throats out with my teeth. Was that last part out loud?

Altronus chuckles, knowing no one can see him smile."It will hopefully not come to that, Cwethan."

Then, he turns to Navaso. "Alas, captain, our identities have been verified already. The best we can do, in my opinion, is be at our best conduct so our reputation is not smeared by infamy in this mission. We're all mercenaries, but that doesn't mean we have to be thugs.

"Their greeting was civil and friendly enough. How about we play along?"

Even though he keeps his eyes on the captain, Altronus raises his voice slightly so everyone can hear the conversation.

"Captain, with all due respect, the 'unnamed corporation' is the only one that should remain unnamed, I think. Witholding our identities, when asked for, will very likely put them on the defensive.

"However, this is your call ultimately. Let us wait and see how they react to our secretive conduct."

"We can't send real information about us because they will know we are with the Society, our contact said we were investigating with anonymity. Maybe if Raia can hack us together some fake IDs."

"Thank you, Iseph. It is as our pilot says, captain."

"Based on what Elsebo told us about the ship and making sure it was not affiliated to the society, I would assume the information we send is already fake."

Altronus nodges Navaso with his elbow. "Perhpas they expect to receive some sort of information identifying us? If Raia is in charge of our computers, perhaps she should transmit said information," he whispers.

Altronus toasts, but refuses to take a drink if offered.

Altronus laughs at Raia's playfulness and starts to follow after her. "Perhaps Navaso would also make a fine captain for this vessel?" he stops and says over his shoulder. "I'll man one of the guns, if that's alright with all of you."

The kasatha continues walking onto the ship. "We might also have to decide on how to share rooms, depending on how many there are."

Altronus nods, puts his four hands behind his back, one of them still holding his data pad, and walks to stand near the ship, waiting for any other members that decide to accept the mission as well.

My numbers seem alright.

Altronus keeps his datapad recording through the mission briefing, the questions, and answers.

"You mention he's a survivor, and that he's imprisoned? Why is he behind bars? Was he infringing on your exclusivity to explore that moon?"

Altonus laughs sincerely at Raia's remak. "I'm going to enjoy my time with you, people. Can't wait to get to know you well. For now, I think we should listen to Garren. Joining the Starfinders might be worthwhile for some of us here."

Altronus nods at Navaso and chuckles, greeting him. Then, he turns to the captain. Can you tell us anything about Elsebo, Garren? I've heard about Starfinders. Unfortunately, nothing of it has come from reliable sources

Altronus gets out a data pad and starts recording. I'll keep a record of this, if you don't mind of course.

Altronus is eager to taste the mead, but even if he's adventured with most of the people around, he doesn't consider any of them are close enough for him to lower the cloth covering his mouth.

I thank you for the beverage, captain, and will thank you further still if you could provide a container to take it with me when we leave. My name is Altronus, he takes a seat. What kind of stories would you like to hear? Our anthology covers anything from vicarious Lashuntas to calm Ysoki.

Woot the day is here!! Do not worry i haven't forgotten. I will do first intro post shortly.

Stay tuned for more. :)

Oh my Iomedae!!!

Oh my Iomedae!!!!!!

OH MY IOMEDAE!!!!!!!!!

Damn, @Poblano. I just saw the result of your work.

Thank you for all that. I just wanted to make sure you knew your hard work is appreciated.

Ugh servers are so overloaded that I can't even download my CRB right now. xD It gets to like 3-4 megabytes then fails, haha.

In my case, it won't even start the download XD

@Madchappy, congratulations on getting your book! Hope you enjoy it!

As to getting your character on the characters tab, and getting your name, you just have to go post something on the Gameplay tab. Make sure you do it as your character, though. Don't make the same mistake I did.
