Mine should have been SS(J) for a faction, but don't worry about sending a new one - I'll fix it myself.

day job: 1d20 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 5 = 27

So who's up for the next one?

Yes ... thank you.

Indeed yes Venture Captain. He was certainly enjoying himself during the assault. I believe there was much honour to be gained.

Yes

I would recommend you surrender Strax says to the cultists

He then takes a shot with his needler pistol on Grey

v KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 piercing: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Strax is 714

Strax fires off the 2nd and last 2nd level Mind Thrust at the ijikri.

mt: 4d10 ⇒ (10, 5, 1, 2) = 18 DC 15 will for half

Strax had been saving up his second level spells so he moves in as far as he can before he Mind Thrusts the Itjikri

mt2: 4d10 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 1) = 9 DC 15 will for half.

Seems to be as good a place as any

Strax does a third Mind Thrust on White

mind thrust: 2d10 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7 DC 14 will for half.

ref: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

And Strax took the lot ....

Looks like the only one that Strax was able to save was the LG Vesk. B was just too far gone.

Strax backs off from the glowing vesks, in case they're all about to explode. He then stabilises the ones that are down so they can be taken into custody.

Strax casts a second mind thrust at the light grey vesk

mind thrust: 2d10 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10 DC 14 will for half.

Strax follows Murgatroyd and ducks behind a bush. He then attempts to give the light grey vesk a serious headache.

mind thrust: 2d10 ⇒ (7, 6) = 13 DC 14 will for half.

Strax looks ahead

perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

In that case, let's get this information back to Commander Paxel and we can get on with it. Qa'pla!

How can you nearly come from the same egg ... and anyway .. wouldn't that make you brothers? Or maybe twins Strax comments, while noting down the co-ordinates of the base.

I also suspect the paperwork is Commander Paxal's problem

Julzakama? Runs a pawn shop in DownBelow? Nope. Can't say I have Strax says as he finally catches up.

perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

HALT IN THE NAME OF THE VESKARIUM Strax yells out. He knows it's not likely to do any good but ... it's protocol - and protocol must be followed.

athetics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

ghay'cha' he mutters ((Vesk for Darn it))

Speaker suggested Kanduarasko in the Market sir Strax replied. I concur

Seems like a good idea. Let's report what we have to Commander Paxel then go find out

Thank you very much Strax replies. You have been most helpful.

Strax decides, by being a Vesk, he might be able to make the skitters more ... co-operative.

Yes. We are looking for records on an .... artifact that would have arrived here on ..... He then gives over the details. The DDO would like this request expedited as soon as possible.

bluff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 to make the order convincing
diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 to grease the bureaucratic wheels

Strax takes that as an order and heads out.

Strax shows Paxel the video.

Agreed He looks around at the others. Where to next?

Strax makes sure he gets a copy of the recording to show Paxal.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
medicine: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

He would also give the security guard some proper medical advice.

Strax is so tempted to put a needle dart through the TV but recalls that - destruction of Veskarium property is an offense. Instead he looks for the power point.

Strax takes a listen of the goblin's dubious medical advice and groans.

You do realise that taking that substance internally is going to kill you slowly he points out to the security guard. And trust me .... that cure is worse than the disease.

And here I was thinking it was a portrait of you sir.

Indeed so. Museums are ...... fascinating

Strax pulls out a diagnostic instrument. If you don't mind me asking sir, what happened to cause that injury. And before you ask, I used to be with the VMC - the Vesk Medical Corps

Indeed he is wearing the appropriate insignias on his uniform, along with the Pact World ones.

And what leads do you have for us?

We are here to see Paxel, the head of the DDO ... and he should be expecting us.

Strax is trying to be pleasent but he does put a bit of steel in his voice.

intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
culture: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Three mystics and we all rolled Nat 20 on Mysticism

I have to admit, it has been a while since I served in the Veskarium Medical Corp. I came to the Pact Worlds so I could treat more .... interesting alien species.

culture: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
mysticism: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

*nods to Naiaj* We shall do what needs to be done .. for the honour of the Pact Worlds. Now ... where is our ship?

What he said. So ... who is this contact of yours, apart from being the head of the DDO?

Why are they called the Keepers?

It seemed reasonable that you would want to question them Venture Captain ma'am

Strax moves in and casts Stabilise on the fallen then neads over to help Benny with Murgatroyd

Strax breaks cover and moves close enough to Mind Thrust White again.

mind thrust: 2d10 ⇒ (7, 1) = 8 dc 14 will for half.

How many M.D.s are there in this party? he wonders.

Strax loads a dart with enough tranquilizer to take down a horse then shoots it at White (unless White has already fallen in which case, he'll cast Stabilize))

needler: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 piercing: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Strax slides into cover next to Pickle and casts a spell at White. Maybe the Veskarium Code for medics is 'Do No Harm except to those intending to do you harm'

mind thrust: 2d10 ⇒ (10, 7) = 17 dc 14 will for half.

Strax also double moves towards Pickle.

Are you injured? he asks the ysoki.

I think I know her Strax replies. Is she the one with the liking of pickle or cucumber sandwiches?

Strax grabs his medical bag and runs outside.

Growing flowers? Strax replies. Although without knowing the nature of your injuries I cannot recommend potential exercise activities.

He then turns to Speaker. I'd rather forget what happened there

Strax has to think about that. Erm. Get to know your comrades and abilities so you can work more efficiently as a team. Remember to learn things, you never know what knowledge will be useful and ... always keep an open mind. As for a favourite mission? One where I do not have to patch up the team all the time.

He also uses Psychokinetic Hand to get his drink from the bar.

'Dr Vesk' sighs and heads over. My name is Doctor Asclepius Strax. How may I help you?
