Ba'hob, decideds to keep simple with the Sweet Lolita outfit

Ba'hob's expression is still unchanged. "I don't dance."

Ba'hob deftly and quietly moves in to the room and shots the target with this Arc Pistol set on Stun

I will be out of pocket the rest of the weekend so bot me as needed

"I did get a copy myself. I thought it would be much more soothing given Zigvigix's appreciation. But the more and more I have worked with my sibling, they have definitely have embraced individuality and I find that I do not care for the music with the same passion that they do. I would be happy to offer my copy as well, if you would care for extras"

Ba'hob takes a look.

Computers: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 or take 20 for 31
Mysticism: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 or take 20 for 25

Initial Ba'hob doesn't see it, but after a few minutes sees what Raatchet sees. "This is problematic. This may require even deeper analysis elsewhere."

Ba'hob speask up. "Aside from what would seem to be ritual significance, the sonic tones and vibrations can cause pleasing effects to those that are sensitive to them. However what one may find euphoric, another may find grating. Also the music is usually tied to the local culture that it originates from. So it can also provide the listener an emotional connection to their homeland or history and many find solace in such connection"

Culture (Ba'hob's dissertation on the cultural aspect of music: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

"I suggest making haste to the reactors to ensure the overall safety of the station is of utmost importance. If the uncountable pink mass is good at finding information, I think they will find us as well."

After the mass of pink scatters Ba'hob rubs their forehead. "It is a great mystery of accounting that one never really knows the true number of skittermanders in any one location at one time. Theory says the number is finite, but unfortunately we are not sure if this is really the case. Sometimes the math makes more sense when you assume a aleph-null amount. Though some have postulated that would imply that skittermanders are rational. The cost benefit analysis has always been....Interesting. "

After gaining their composure. "I think we should press on towards investigating the power issues. Shall we continue to the guard stations and inquire there?"

Ba'hob nods. "It would be in the better of interest of all to secure the safety of our charges and then investigate the safety of the station"

To the pink mass and guard house

While looking at the flickering lights. "Though I do agree, this station may have some other issues first. Our quarry is on this station, I doubt he will be leaving any time soon, if there is a significant problem with the power."

Culture: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Ba'hob seems to mistakenly identify the race of the children.

Ba'hob "smiles" and offers to carry one as well. "So odd to see Vesk Larvae so far from their eggs. But I will be happy to carry you"

Ba'hob, slightly confused as this not a typical alert noise looks down to see the source of the PEEP!

"Although the Skittermanders are always helpful, I have found that there help usually leads to some additional paper work. I would suggest we make our way to business person since it seems myself and Raatchet have similar skills in dealing with such personnel"

I am still here. Just catching up with all the bouncing boards

I am still here. Just catching up with all the bouncing boards

Ba'hob nods to Raatchet. "I enjoy reading the TPS reports. The attention to detail important. I find a pleasing comfort of certainty in numbers. They fill the world with order in an otherwise chaotic universe. Though if you ask others of my profession they say you can make the numbers say what you want. But the numbers only say what they are. What we hear is different. And we don't all hear the same things."

An immaculately dressed Shirren enters the room. After scanning the room, sees familiar faces. "It is good to be in your company again Delea. And it seems that the others have known you as well." They turn to the others. "[B]I am Ba'hob. Although I am an accountant by trade, the Society has found ways to use my skills in more creative matters. "

OK. Should be ready to go.

Hi Delea

Ba'hob additional details regarding the changed to the plant life and its effects. "It seems that an unsated desire for the protein change is extremely detrimental. Here are the notes from the Izalraan research and its effects."

Medicine to aid: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

"Also you should note that the weather tower itself is beginning to strain. You most likely won't be able to continue the research you wanted to do after a few weeks. You may be able to jurry rig it for a while. " Ba'hob looks over at Spinjack. "But you seem to be down one very skill mechanic" Ba'hob will point out the various technical problems with the generator.

Engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Ba'hob holds their position by the wall and takes another careful shot at Spinjack

"This is going bad for you and your team. You can stop and we will cease our attacks. I think we have made our determination known that we will have our conversation with the good Doctor regarding the status of your operations here"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

I am not expecting any change of attitude but mostly for roleplay

Farvenzi has reach, so closing to melee will provoke an attack of opportunity.

I thought so. SO I will take the AoO

Ba'hob surveys the situation and with a few quickly hack from his datapad attempts to make the weather tower surge in a distracting way for Farvenzi and Spinjack. They then move up towards the wall to get them in range of his pistol

Amplified Glitch, Computers: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

One more time. With feeling...

With a quick breath, Ba'hob takes a more careful shot.

Ba'hob gathers his composure with Arratoi's encouragement, and takes another shot at Red Guard.

Ba'hob moves across the open to get some cover from the other boulder. They then take a trick shot at the Red Guard.

But hits the wall

Ba'hob also attempts to get a read on the guards intentions.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Keeping an eye on the guards, and with them distracted with talking to the rest of the party, Ba'hob slowly pulls out his static arc pistol. Without looking sets it to "stun", then quietly moves to a position to get a bead on one of the other guards within 50 ft.

Slight of Hand: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Ba'hob seems good and is ready to go and talk with the good Doctor.

@Delea, You were at Origins too? I was running Starfinder sessions there.

Ba'hob nods in agreement with Naarma. "This true. Maybe convincing them that their current operational costs will get more significant soon will help them consider the proper course of action with out the need of any material damages on the part of either party. However, It is still a good contingency plan to help them realize any additional unforseen costs."

Ba'hob nods. "I doubt simple talking will be enough. Their interests do not lie with the planet itself. However, making staying here a greater expense the expect return on investment can cause their backers to remove themselves and take what they have learned with the sunk costs."

"I would also like to prevent any unnecessary costs from either side." Ba'hob sets his arc pistol to stun. "Given the current condition of their tower, I doubt they have any resources available to replace it. It is already in a strained condition. I suspect it would take little effort to overload it completely and damage it enough that the balance would recommend ceasing current operations and returning to corporate with the current data"

"Might I suggest using the megzoloths to cause a distraction for the guards at the tower, while a few of us sneak in to commit an act of unmitigated expense?"

Ba'hob considers the whole situation.

Culture: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Ba'hob telepathically sends to the party (assuming everyone is still willing)

"Note the specific placement of the buildings. It was done with intent for defense. And there are advanced polycrabons laced with in the rock and their equipment. Specifically to improve its function"

Culture: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

"That group over there are actually involved in some team sport. The rules seem fairly straight forward, but still a somewhat tactical game and skill building."

Medicine: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Piloting: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Ba'hob does not notice anything else of significance yet.

Although they do not say anything yet to Naarma, Ba'hob does not hide a sense of guilt and anger about the research station and their meddling in the local eco-system. He waits to see where the more talkative members take lead.

Ba'hob puts a way their weapons. With a small bow, "I am Ba'hob. I appreciate meeting you and your community. Though I am surprised of your understanding of our language. We were not aware of any previous contact with you and the Pact Worlds."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Ba'hob take a survey of the natives and their community.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

With some deft movement, Ba'hob draws his baton and carefully moves around the large creature to provide a flank for Rocket and I-5.

Acrobatics Tumble: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

They then strike at the creature.

Baton Melee Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Baton Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Ba'hob seeing his down compainion decided to pull the reaming creature off of I-5 and Rocket.

Running across the opening, Ba'habob pulls out the plant sample he got from the facility and waves it in the air.

Not sure if that is one or two move actions. If there is still an action Ba'hob will throw the bundle at the yellow dot

Ba'hob continues to focus on the yellow beast that is threatening their companion.

Trick Attack (Sense Motive): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 v EAC
Damage Arc Pistol: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 E
Trick Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

These trees are very dangerous. They must be stopped!

The Mystic healing gets more useful at higher levels. Also it isn't needed till later in a combat, or of you have to chain multiple encounters with out any rest.

As someone who tends to play line/tank characters. I still like having a mystic in the party. But healing isn't needed till a few rounds in.

IMO, a bored healer means we are doing thing right :)

Also once you get to fourth you get "Lesser Restoration" and that is always useful. :)

Ba'hob calmly takes a bead on the yellow creature.

Trick Attack (Sense Motive): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
Ranged Attack, Git 'em: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8 v EAC
Damage Arc Pistol: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 E
Trick Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Although confident in reading the creature for a clean shot. Their pistol shot hits a nearby tree.

Ba'hob moves to take some cover in the trees then takes aim and shoots the yellow beast.

Trick Attack (Sense Motive): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage Arc Pistol: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 E
Trick Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Though can't seem to get a read or clear shot on the creature this time.

Ba'hob moves quickly but with out much flair while observing the creature that just knocked down his companion (RED)

Trick Attack (Sense Motive) DC 20 + CR: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 v EAC
Damage Arc Pistol: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 E
Trick Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Then they examine the creature quickly for any other weakness.

Life Science: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 Defensive abilities first then offensive

@Arratoi, I thought it was mentioned already, but even not. I am okay with "spilling the beans" on that one. In that I will own the mistake :)

Ba'hob, nods to Arratoi and keeps the specimen sealed up as to not attract unwanted attention. However the noise put them at alarm.

"The local wildlife is reportedly herbivore. However, given the size of the planet and the limited exploration of Winterharvest I would be very surprised of a complete lack of carnivorous predators in the planetary ecosystem."

Ba'hob pulls out an Arc Pistol as a precaution. "I concur with the ysoki. Massive herbivores still carry a significant amount of kinetic energy when moving quickly. Even more so if it is the complete herd."

Ba'hob brushes by the specimens

Slight of Hand: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 4 = 17

Ba'hob nods as he listens. But to others, "Their attitude is concerning, though we should press on while we still have their good graces"

Enigneering: 1d20 + 10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 4 + 2 = 22

Survival: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 4 = 17

Ba'hob share the following telepathically to everyone. Though they will not share with I-5 as they requested not to before, if that is still they case

"The tower seems to be extremely taxed in its operation. And is definitely positioned to be the only security point with regards to the natural surroundings. I do agree, that the native fauna's desire for station's plant specimens is curious"

If given an opportunity Ba'hob would like to get a close look at the plant specimens.

Physical Science: 1d20 + 6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 4 + 2 = 26

Ba'hob quietly returns to Dr. Monsylkis. "As Spinjack, we do have our own task to accomplish here. We are following up on some rumors regarding Scoured Stars Incident. It is tenuous at best, but given the nature of the event any rumor is worth some investigation. Though it does involve interest in the native population. Any information regarding them will be of benefit in order to limit any possible inadvertent consequences "

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 4 + 2 = 25

Ba'hob is actively not mentioning anything about the relics or people that "escaped" the area. Bluff below if needed to hid motive.

Bluff: 1d20 + 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 4 + 2 = 17

Ba'hob slowly takes everything that is said in and lets his mind process the data.

"This is all quiet fascinating. I would enjoy seeing more of the facilities"

Diplomacy to Aid Arratoi: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Not overly conversational yet. They let the others take the lead with the talking so they can more easily look at "everything else."

Ba'hob has Jack of All trades as well and many of the information skills with skill ranks. However a perception for now

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
