Boron''s page

Boron shrugs: "So, what do you think, guys? I am tired of being shot at, and running behind these creeps.
I mean, other than ourselves, we saved not one soul on that station.
Here we are going up against a Corp' that is blasting us left and right every step we take... and we'll probably never manage to beat them to unleashing more havoc.
I say let's just save our own skins, and get out of here before the Shadow hits the fan.
Get a few Drift months between us and this crap.
Once it goes big, the Stewards and Pact Worlds can deal with it.
And we'll be alive."

Boron is ready to go back to the ship, and enter the Drift, headed out of here.

Okay, be safe! And have fun. I hope your studies go well.

Thanks all for the enjoyable game, and thanks a LOT GM for the great fun )))

On another, note I have given up PFS 1st Ed and SFS, and will probably stop PbP, so, since I will likely not see you around here, I wish you well.

The first book was memorable, and I imagine an interestingly written adventure, that you made into something I will always remember.

I imagine that this tunnel part of the second book might end at one moment, or you can just skip, hand-wave till it gets more interesting... but I understand you getting swamped.

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for everything!

"What a place!
It was safer somehow on the resort station... well, simpler!"

When the shares are determined, Boron will hand 750 Credits over to Volcklon to pay back.
Also, I probably will buy nothing, so I can give/loan/spot/toss Credits to any who needs.

Still working on updating to 10, but coming along.

Main points:
• I get a class thing: I can use my IA to track two targets at the same time!
Vroni can multitask
• I took a Mechanic trick that makes my Force Field always give me a 5 DR (well ER, energy resistance) vs. Fire

Put the +2 Stats into Dex/Con/Int/Wis

And I still have not used the special campaign Feat one single time!
(the thing that lets Boron resist fear w. some stuff).

Will try to finish by tomorrow (Monday).

Fine for me if you take all you wish

Nothing Boron needs from the inventory.

If okay I will let our ship-meister Xagyg choose re. ship upgrades.

And I will try to update to level 10 (Yay!) a.s.a.p..

Onward we delve!

Boron is relieved she is finally down... "Sad so much talent was wasted."

As Boron is slashed, and blood starts to spurt out of the cut, he screams in pain, before trying to answer Xagyg: "Come again? I did not not copy..."

He then tries to collect himself and deliver blows to the white-haired lady--

Lava vs. KAC: 1d20 + 14 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 14 - 4 - 2 = 16
Holy, Magic, F, s: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (3, 8) + 15 = 26

Lava vs. KAC w. Combat Tracking: 1d20 + 16 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 16 - 4 - 2 = 29
Holy, Magic, F, s: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (2, 7) + 15 = 24

Boron is hit lightly, he too soaking some of the damage, and he decides to swing at her rapidly, once--

Lava vs. KAC w. Combat Tracking: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 4 = 13
Holy, Magic, F, s: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (8, 8) + 15 = 31

--and twice--
Lava vs. KAC w. Combat Tracking: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 16 - 4 = 17
Holy, Magic, F, s: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (7, 8) + 15 = 30

--but is afraid somehow to hurt the white-haired lady.

Boron is never glad.
Trick Attack? The 20 would've been wasted for the trick, then she'd have rolled a 1 and missed the attack part!

Especially when he is sliced.

Boron has Vroni start tracking this lady, and, glancing down at his melting armor, he overcharges Lava and swings--

Lava vs. KAC w. Combat Tracking: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
Holy, Magic, F, s (Overcharged): 2d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (6, 6) + (6, 5) + 15 = 38

Boron lands, and swings an overcharged Lava: "Hello, friend!"

Lava vs. KAC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
Holy, Magic, F, s (Overcharged): 2d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (2, 3) + (4, 4) + 15 = 28

But he is still off-kilter from flying up, and his jet pack is still blasting away...

Boron will keep on moving up and over to confront the sniper physically when he reaches her.
"Her name is Sunova!", he says.

"And my cigar was an Oubliette!"

As the shot manages to be soaked up by Boron's armor, now that his force field is gone, he keeps on flying up... hoping to finally reach the white haired elf.

(I forgot to reduce the other shot by the Force Field that I had turned on, doing so now)

"MY CIGAR!!!"

Boron keeps on moving till he can approach whomever he can see...

Boron takes the hit and drops his cigar... "Damn!"

He keeps on moving up.

15 feet I guess

Boron is still fiddling with his cigar... "See who? Oh... haven't looked yet. I was just gonna swing blind, I'm told I never see or notice anything. Right, Vroni?"

Perception: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

Boron will keep on smiling while flying up, trying to pull out and light a cigar as he goes.

sorry, forgot the going up part

Boron will switch on his force field (+12 temp HP) and power up his jet pack.
A shimmering aura of energy surrounds him, and cold blue flames come out the back of his armor.
(round 1)

And then start jetting up to the balcony Xagyg pointed out--
30 feet / move action, so 60 ft. per full round

"Yes, but I have no idea of where that guy or gal', or robot, or sentient, or non-sentient... is.
And my old dwarven eyes are tired from cigar smoke and mining dust, and I might not be able to ever spot him with his fancy stealth cloak and all."

Boron starts looking over the two downed Drows, to grab anything important they might have - communicators, orders etc. - though he does not expect much.

"Let's handle this by just speeding away from here now.
Leave that sniper behind.
He'll either stop, follow us, or come at us again, but we have people coming at us all the time, so that won't change anything."

Boron lashes out--

Lava vs. KAC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
Holy, Magic, F, s: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (1, 3) + 15 = 19

--and manages to avoid having bullets pierce his armor.

Then he swings twice--

Lava vs. KAC: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 14 - 4 = 12
Holy, Magic, F, s: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (8, 8) + 15 = 31

Lava vs. KAC: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 14 - 4 = 30
Holy, Magic, F, s: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (1, 8) + 15 = 24
Crit Holy, Magic, F, s: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (1, 8) + 15 = 24
Crit: 1d20 ⇒ 11
48 damage + Reflex save to avoid (?) or Lost eye, –2 Perception
(sorry can't remember my DC, is it 10+lvl+STR? = 26

--jamming his blade in the Drow's eye!

As the White drow steps into the dark void, Boron takes a carefully guarded step after it, swinging an overcharged Lava at it.

Lava vs. KAC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Holy, Magic, F, s (Overcharged): 2d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (3, 5) + (6, 6) + 15 = 35

Boron glances at Volcklon, and shudders: "We are starting to lose it, like on the resort station... imagining things!"

Boron takes a carefully guarded step over to White-Drow and swings an overcharged Lava at him--

Lava vs. KAC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
Holy, Magic, F, s (Overcharged): 2d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (3, 4) + (6, 3) + 15 = 31
CRIT Holy, Magic, F, s (Overcharged): 2d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (6, 2) + (1, 3) + 15 = 27
Wound: 1d20 ⇒ 2 = Bleed 1d6
58 dam' (+1d6 Bleed)

--and slashes deep into the enemy's chest!

Black's laser barrage hits Boron as the Dwarf lashes out at the shooter--
Lava vs. KAC w. Combat Tracking: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
Holy, Magic, F, s: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (4, 2) + 15 = 21

--and then Boron decides not to Overcharge but to keep on swinging and try to bring the Drown down faster, so he slashes left--
Lava vs. KAC w. Combat Tracking: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 16 - 4 = 16
Holy, Magic, F, s: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (1, 5) + 15 = 21

--and right!
Lava vs. KAC w. Combat Tracking: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 16 - 4 = 29
Holy, Magic, F, s: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (2, 6) + 15 = 23

Boron took 25 damage

Ranged attacks provoke, so Boron can choose to make an AoO, which he would

Shaken by Boron's attack, the Drow misses, and then he is attacked in reaction by Boron--

Lava vs. KAC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
Holy, Magic, F, s: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (7, 3) + 15 = 25

--before Boron calls upon Vroni to track Black, and then he swings his overcharged weapon...

Lava vs. KAC w. Combat Tracking: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
Holy, Magic, F, s (Overcharged): 2d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (5, 3) + (3, 4) + 15 = 30

Boron hears the gunshot, and thus jogs over to the dark black drow, drawing his bade as he does, and then he swings at it, overcharging the blow--

Lava vs. KAC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25
Holy, Magic, F, s (Overcharged): 2d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (1, 2) + (3, 2) + 15 = 23

Still sitting, Boron starts to list the items on the local online marketplace, when--
--"What? You want to sell these things in person? Okay..."
He sighs, and follows along, not really looking at anything, "talking" to Vroni.

Perception: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28

Boron is fine re. loot.

"Fine by me!
More comfortable."

Unless pressed-- by the update
Boron wishes to have a seat on one of those soldiers, and take a breather.
1 RP spent for full SP w. rest

"Tis a good blade this..."

Having avoided Red's final blow, then felled the soldier, Boron glides to the left... and looks up at the skies, thinking happily: "Tis a bleak world, but the God who rules over all things seems to be a kind soul!"

Avoiding the blow, Boron keeps on taking it slow, using Vroni’s help and overcharging his weapon he swings at Red—
Lava vs. KAC w. Combat Tracking: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35
Holy, Magic, F, s (Overcharged): 2d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (6, 6) + (4, 6) + 15 = 37
—then he takes a carefully guarded step towards Yellow.
Traveling and on phone ; can a kind soul move Boron one square to the left?

"Hey, X'! Thanks ))) Nice to see your big eyes again!"

Boron is attacking Red - who is adjacent to him (sorry if not clear, that's what I meant when I said he said Hello to Red before attacking

"Hello again!", Boron says, out loud to Red, but in his mind to Vroni, as she starts Combat Tracking on the soldier.
Then Boron overcharges his weapon, and swings it at the enemy.

Lava vs. KAC w. Combat Tracking: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32
Holy, Magic, F, s (Overcharged): 2d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (7, 2) + (5, 5) + 15 = 34

While Boron is talking with Vroni in the bar, she suddenly leans over close to him.
Will she kiss him?!
She shimmers-- and disappears.

Healed by Jacob's blast of Positive Energy opens his eyes.
No Vroni, but soldiers, fire, death...

He sighs, grabs his blade, and stands up.

I did not feel your posts were lax nor lacking.
I do not enjoy this part that much, for two reasons I think: the sandbox aspect and heavy horror of the first book was great, and I imagine you really spiced it up with your own additions, and made it a truly memorable adventure that stands out.
Whereas this part seems a lot more of a linear "grind" (you go here, fight people, then there, fight people - without really being able to mess up since if you do, you can't go on).
So, the fact that is is on the boring side of normal scenarios (but not bad), is a stark contrast to the great stuff behind.
It kind of seems like a tax to get through...
But it is okay, and some NPCs are fun (like the Ysoki and the female Vesk bodyguards), and, as X. says, hopefully it will pick up in a bit.
So, yes, not that exciting, but not bad at all, and it was so great that we know it'll get great again.
I do not want to quit at all.

Boron enters the bar, and sees Vroni. He goes up to her, and offers her a drink... that she accepts.
Very happy, Boron sits down beside her and they start to chat.
Vroni is all smiles.

Boron's body still remains lying on the ground.

I was only 1 RP down (6/7) so now @ 5/7

Green misses Boron, but the Dwarf should not have put all his attention into avoiding the attack of the faster one, because he is then hit by Yellow... "Ouch!"
16 dam', so @5 hp

And then Blue knocks the Dwarf out.
12 dam', so @-negative hp

Red redirects attack or does something else.

Boron is bashed around, but then has Vroni start tracking blue, as he overcharges and then tries to hit.

Lava vs. KAC w. Combat Tracking: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28
Holy, Magic, F, s (Overcharged): 2d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (8, 6) + (1, 4) + 15 = 34

Boron thinks that they should just leave this madhouse, and go somewhere quiet, like a Vesk battlefield.

As his skin blisters, and flames burn from the top of his bald head, Boron brushes his hands over the fire on his skin, as he moves forward, gripping his blade in order to start bashing and slashing.

Reflex DC 18: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

He at least manages to swat away most of the fire, and his blistered skin is no longer aflame.

27 damage taken, Burning condition over

Boron thanks Liander for letting the group in, then eyes the android: "Didn't we already meet somewhere?"
Then he gets to work on the small box, muttering to Vroni for help--
Computers w. rig w. bonus: 1d20 + 20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 5 = 40
--and then Boron smiles as he succeeds in downloading data:
[b]"Got it! I triangulated the signals received from the three transmitters.
I know where the source is located... in the Vesk Empire.
We have the exact coordinates of the black site!
Let's get going!"

He then writes something down on his comm' unit, and shows it first to his comrades: Klebani Range. Verces’s Darkside.

Then he sees if he can dismantle the thing.

Engineering w. rig w. bonus: 1d20 + 20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 5 = 34

And pops the black box out, and tosses it up and down in his hand.

"Okay! Off to meet the Vesk Empire?"

Computers w. rig: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22

Boron shrugs upon seeng the old computer that is not even turned on.

Boron motions that there is nothing else he needs.
"I can go wherever Liander takes us when you're ready."

His blade in hand and resting on his shoulder, Boron leads the way.

"Some anonymous who said we should've just asked if we wanted to talk.
Ask who? Talk about what? ..."

Boron looks up to his comrades: "So, there’s a door in the back corner, and I.... well, at least Vroni, will know the code for the key pad.
Wanna go walk into some trap or whatever?"
