Bonkers123's page

You did a wonderful job, sir. Running specials face to face can be exciting and it can also feel like actual work. Running it online like this can't be any easier.
We once again got lucky with a well balanced group. Thanks yo all for playing!

Oh yeah, Bonkers is much too busy working on theory and creating interesting serums and such to be craft. No day job. :)

As they are speeding up the elevator, Bonkers looks down upon the masses of the swarm.
"mm. This doesn't end well.."

Bonkers tries a little more direct action. He levels his nedler and aims at (yellow), sending a dart it;s way.

owie! (Needler pistol): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Piercing damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

IF that hits, basic inhibitor. -2 AC for 7 rounds.

I get it. If I got a severance package and was laid off I'd be at least moderately pleased. However, I live in a southern state and am a state government employee so if we get 'laid off' it's more of a "life sucks, you have 10 minutes to clean your desk."

Glad the kiddo is feeling better!
Hope you weren't laid off.

Bonkers once again aims his steely needle at.. a party member, Burn feels that now familiar, well, slight burn as he feels swift once again.

+10 speed for 4 rounds again
life science: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

preemptive life science check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Happy with where he is for now, Bonkers aims his needler at Dofon, "You may feel a pinch."
And that is all he feels as the 100% fully tested and safe bioserum flows through his body, making him tougher.
+1 AC for 4 rounds

Bonkers takes a few steps up to get a better bead on the crawling wounded monstrosity, lines up his rifle for a shot, pulls the trigger and...
Burn! (laser rifle) : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Fire damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

...at least he didn't come close to hitting a fellow Starfinder this time.

Bonkers pops a painless dart into Burn's neck, boosting his speed once again.
Basic boost, +10 to speed for 4 rounds

He will also try to reveal anything we may have missed about these swarm creatures.
life sciences: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
He's got Nuthin', nothin' at all....

I have a free slot and will take one or the other mods for more mobility is needed. Unless others who need it more want them, of course.

I'm good for either one, in case the combat folks want some fun. Bonkers is more of a support guy in combat, as we've seen. :)

Bonkers pulls out some of his special serums to help heal the injured.
medicine: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

physical sciences: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
"Ah, yes! More power! HAHAHAHA! Oh, sorry. I get carried away sometimes.."

The clank of a spanner on metal is heard.
"If one thinks about it, this engine is very similar to the one that drives us intelligent beings."
CLANG!

engineering: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
"Ah, see!""

My bad, I read it as only usable in this first part..

If this is the last bit in step one shall we use the Boon from step one to skip it?

Bonkers finds himself near a window/firing port and is surprised by a flying swarm bug right outside.
He yelps, points his needle pistol at it and...
owie! (Needler pistol): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Piercing damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Watches as the dart doesn't even make it out of the firing port and ricochets around the compartment a time or two...

lol. Don't feel so band now, that would have been a fail for most everything. :)

No worries, glad we're making progress in spite of me. Been having Hard time getting posts in at lunch when I usually would, and the kiddo rarely will give me enough time to catch up at home.

Ah. Children are a delight.Time management goes out the window though. :)

Oh no worries from me. My other games might have 2 or 3 updates and this one usually has a lot more, It's just a sign of a dedicated and involved group!

Funny story: A few years ago I was in a PFS1 game here and I would wake up to 20 or more updates. Turns out 2 of the other players were in Australia, 2 in Europe and the GM was somewhere like Malaysia. :)

Woke up. Saw mission start, saw mission finish. Got interrupted every time I tried to post today...

Heh. I get it. This groups seems to be most active while i'm asleep. :)

Bonkers mood is quite positive after his initial reaction with the group and stays that way for some time. He mumbles something about being able to test some new drugs....

As they start to head out Bonkers nods at Dofon. "Sounds good."
He then stands behind him, ready to be covered in the unlikely event someone starts shooting at the group.

Bonkers goes to talk to Skylar Kade, "Let's take a look at your injuries."
sense motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
medicine: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

He then tries to help Engineer Fillman by verifying his calculations.
SM: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
physical sciences: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
"Oh, that hurts..."
He continues to make sure all is well with the targeted areas.
engineering: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

He looks to make sure the explosives are in the perfect spots...
engineering: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
"oh, that hurts.."

He then checks around for possible less noisy areas..

life sciences: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Will be heading ot to do some shopping and eat in an hour or two. Going to go ahead and psot my actions so I don't slow the group down if everyone else posts. :)
Grog shakes his head and works to make sure the explosives are set correctly.
engineering: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

"Well, nice find. Who can best use this?

Next mission? I'm good for another skill type one but am happy to narrowly miss you all in a combat mission!

"Very intersting indeed."
He pops his fingers and take a look at the console.

culture: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
"My, my. What is that language doing here..."

computer: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

As the secret door is revealed and opened, "ooh. maybe the swarm creatures have not been here yet!"

Nethys is the best online source. Agreed.

They are both nice but Bonkers has no heavy weapon proficiency. What is the negative, -4? Considering he has a paltry +3 to hit, it would be wasted on him.

Checkpoint sounds good. If anyone needs the 10 minute rest, go for it!

With his weapon fire being more of a danger to his group Bonkers tags Dofon with a booster (+1 to AC for 4 rounds) and then he moves up behind Burn.

As one finally splats on the floor Bonkers moves up.
"Finally!"
He aims between his friends and where he thinks the last one is..

Burn! (laser rifle) : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Fire damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
miss chance, low is good: 1d100 ⇒ 84

He may have singed someone friendly there...
"Damn thing's out of alignment again!"

Word!

Bonkers did not move. He's intent on keeping the ceiling bug in sight, even if he can't hit it.

You're back? I thought you were Brett?

Had to join in on the joke...

"These things are annoying!"
He attempts once again to help everyone else pinpoint the thing on the ceiling using his 'laser pointer'.

Burn! (laser rifle) : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Fire damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Miss chance, low is a hit!: 1d100 ⇒ 89

Random Ysoki cursing is heard.

will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Bonkers clutches his head.

Bonkers attempts to get everyone's attention on the critter by.. shooting at it.
Burn! (laser rifle) : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Fire damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Sadly the rest of the group may still have no clue where it is...

At this point he realizes he didn't think to see if the gas was flammable...

"Green gas. Rarely good for one's health.."
medicine: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

Bonkers takes position about halfway down the conga line, in place to support everyone.

Bonkers looks at the evidence as Burn expertly presents it.
"Ah, yes. obvious now. How did the rest of us miss that? Wait. Someone stay alone or go in as bait? Sounds dangerous."

survival: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
"Hm. Interesting rifle. Fire!"

"Yes, yes. All good points. Plus I need samples!"

"How horrid. Yes, the way was clear as we came in. Can you describe the beasts that attacked you again..."
life sciences: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 2 = 12
"Interesting. Not sure if i've heard of that one.."

Weird, just this game doesn't always show there are new posts in the headers. I checked yesterday afternoon... Meh.

engineering: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

"Is that weeping?"

"Follow me, Burn.."
He heads into whatever they are using for a med ward and starts triage and care.

medicine: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

"Hmmm... needs some support here and then we can dig further in..." He grabs some promising rocks to start building columns.
engineering: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
"Wait, is that a good spot?"
He steps back, nods. "Yes, absolutely the best spot for this!"

It's glaringly obvious to everyone that the tower of rocks he built won't support a darn thing....

Bonkers eyes go wide.
"Wonderful idea Burn! Take fluid samples from new subjects and ones left out after dying for a time. Great for my research!"

He looks up at Dofon, considers for a second, twitches his whiskers and says "Your logic is impeccable!"
