Aphelion Leto's page

Aphelion finally catches up with the group, and realizes he can't do much here (damn you trained-only skills).

As the party continues, Aphelion tries to recall his knowledge of physical science...
Round 2 Physical Science: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
as well as call upon his (nonexistant) survival skills
Round 3 Survival: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15

Aphelion eyes several items as the party explores the tunnels, trying to figure out which are truly "artifact-worthy"

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

But as Aphelion looks, he realizes he has no idea what even classifies something as "artifact-worthy."

Aphelion, stubborn as ever, continues to try to brute force the door open.
Athletics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
"MOVE!!"

Athletics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
"I can easily say this is the toughest door I've seen."

Aphelion'll go in for another hit on the red one
Attack Roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
SlashingDamage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Aphelion runs up to the red Trox while activating his solar weapon (move action, hopefully flanking it with Balin) and makes against the Trox with it.
Attack Roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Slashing damage if hit: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Aphelion lights the asteroid using the Stone.

((I think we have? I'm not too sure though))

"Stone's up," Aphelion looks at the Frozen Smith's Hammer, "looks like we got ourselves a relic! I think we should do a once-over on the other rooms just in case any more artifacts are hiding out around here. We just gotta remember there's no coming back once we leave, so let's make extra-sure we get everything. Oh, and if we think we'll need it I can make things brighter or lower the gravity around here, so just lemme know if you think we'll need it.

Aphelion moves into position, ready to help with the ritual…
Mysticism: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18

"From my understanding it's kinda like how there's a difference between Drow and other Elves. Of course, Darakwinn and Balin might have a bit more insight on it, I admit I don't know too much myself."

Aphelion lets the creature leave, and then looks at the remains.
Mysticism: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19
"Definitely not something a Duergar would wear. We might be looking at an old Dwarf," he says while pointing at the boar's head ornament.

Aphelion once again goes for the blue bug
Attack Roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
And if it hits:
Damage Roll: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
(Slashing damage because it's the Solar Weapon I'm using)

Aphelion is just going to try attacking the bug in front of him!
Attack Roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
And if that hits:
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Aphelion tries to throw the bug off of him
Strength: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
And he just barely gets it off!

Aphelion moves towards the yellow bug and attacks with his solar weapon
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
And if that's a hit
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Aphelion, noticing how close the creatures are, activates his Solar Mote, transforming it into a dark yet glowing blade, similar to a solar eclipse (Move Action to Draw Weapon) and then takes the Total Defense Standard Action, increasing his Armor Class by 4.
"If they come any closer I'll protect us."

Aphelion, after making it over to the Crucible, says "Lemme take a crack at it"
Strength: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
"Damn, it really is stuck."

Aphelion starts heading over to the Crucible, keeping watch of the moving shapes he sees. To get there, he walks the right path (though it doesn't look like it actually connects on the map, but he's already facing that direction so that's probably the way he'd walk)

"Hey guys, I see something that way, but I'm not quite sure what it is, but prepare your weapons just in case, it looks like it's moving."
Aphelion prepares his Tact. Semi-Auto Pistol

Physical Science: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
"Ok so maybe just jumping down isn't the best idea. I'll just climb down then."
Aphelion looks a little bummed, but then he joins Darakwinn in the climb.
Athletics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

"Well, the gravity is a lot less restrictive here, couldn't we just, I don't know, float down? I mean it might take some time but it's a lot less tiring than climbing our way down. Of course some sort of parachute might help, but beggars can't be choosers now can they?"
Aphelion looks over at the way down, trying his hardest not to fall over the edge

Aphelion stops for a moment, pondering Balin's idea.
"Heating it up might work too. Perhaps my radiant weapon would work? It could also somewhat fulfill the ritual too as I'd be hitting the stone with it."
((Unrelated but I'm glad his name joke was understood))

"Oh I'd be honored! Nothing like the name Aphelion to show my connection to the Sun and it's power!"
Aphelion, completely clueless as to what his name means, seems proud he can help start the stone back up

"Gimme a minute or two, I'll gather all the Sun energy we need!"
Aphelion raises his arms straight up in a rather goofy, rigid motion, and tilts his head to the ceiling.
"Again, it'll only take a minute!"
I don't think there's any mechanics for this I just thought it was silly

"I'm a Solarian! Do I just hit it with the hammer or like give it radiant energy? Either way sounds like something I could do."
Aphelion smiles, happy to finally be of some use, after all of the computer science-y nonsense he didn't understand

Aphelion holds the canister out towards the group.
"I'm not quite sure how to use this, if anyone else would like to see what they can do with it"
Mysticism: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (9) + 0 = 9

Aphelion searches the room!
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Aha! Another canister!

Aphelion watches the hologram, noting the prayer made towards the end of the clip.
"Looks like the Solarian Stone is started through this ritual. Does anyone know if that hammer is special or will any hammer do?"

Aphelion looks away, knowing that if he stares any longer the allure of the big red button while get to him.

Aphelion stands back, well aware of how little he can help with either computers or Dwarven writing

Aphelion enters the room, looks around a little, and has a look of discomfort with how compact everything is.
"Guess this wasn't made for us bigger folk. Everything is really squished together in here."
Noticing the Dwarven labelling, Aphelion turns to face Balin.
"Got any idea what any of this says? I can't make out a single word here."

Aphelion thinks to himself for a moment.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
After taking a minute to gather his thoughts, Aphelion shares what he remembers overhearing others talk about.

Whit ye juist woke up fae th' gap?

Technically, yes. I've been in stasis based on creating a parallel reality for an indefinite number of thousands of years. My people were a great cosmic race when your peoples were mining with pickaxes, not with machines. He says all this absolutely calmly, without arrogance, but also without hints of friendliness. I was recently awakened and here I am, exploring a new world for myself, where my descendants are nothing more than savages on the ruins of the greatest civilization, but there are many other new young species like you.

This is a reference to the Devastation Ark AP btw .)

"You and I are almost in the same boat then. I just kinda woke up here one day with no memory of who I am. I guess it's good to know I'm not the only one." Aphelion chuckles a bit after that last sentence, then turns to Thromkenda, "No questions from me either."

"Nice to meet you all! I'm Aphelion!" a man wearing plain, orange and yellow clothing waves as he introduces himself, "I serve Sarenrae by helping out the Starfinder Society! Pleasure to work with you all." The left sleeve on Aphelion's clothing has Sarenrae's symbol, denoting his devotion to her.

is anyone willing to run #1-36: Enter the Ashen Asteroid when the game day is over? I can run something in return if needed.

If someone is, I'd be down to join
