Sorry to hear the workload is increasing artjuice and appreciate the candour.

From my own perspective am also thinking might be best for me to also step away. Enjoying the game and the group, but with everything still ongoing in RL after my boy passed I'm struggling to keep focus on all the games I'm involved with.

Like Leech I would welcome the opportunity to play alongside you all again, but fear that right now its a case of "right game - wrong time" if that makes sense?

Cheers

Brundus grimaces at the thought of another cross-country slog, then nods his head toward where Leech lies;

"Anyone get him up and running before more of the buggers come? If not... we need to secure some transit as hefting him will slow us down more..."

The lashunta checks over his recovered heavy weapon, making sure it still functions after being unceremoniously ditched in the melee.

Folks - just wanted to share that yesterday we had to say goodbye to my beautiful red staffy Darby. His passing was very peaceful and he's now free from the burdens his tumour inflicted upon him.

To say my wife and i are broken is an understatement - Darbs was, is and always will be, the epicentre of our lives.

Over the coming days, weeks and months we will heal and come to celebrate his life, but right now things are pretty raw. I may throw myself into distractions and my passions, so posting may be up, but likewise things may take a back seat - should that become the case please bot me when/where necessary.

Cheers

Apologies GM - missed I was up. Don't think there's a dredger nearby, so he'll use his actions to Move (25ft) & Guarded Step (5ft) - putting him in melee range of the Dredger menacing Ayg. Thanks for the botting regardless Jerry :)

Round 5 Status: Shaken (–2 penalty to ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks)

Nodding to Jerry, the armoured lashunta swings another heavy punch at the nearest dredger (Melee Attack - Standard Action):

[KAC Melee Attack vs Dredger D] Battleglove, Cestus:1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 - 2 = 13
Damage [Bludgeoning]:1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

He then steps away from the creature (Move Action) pending its demise...

Folks - just a heads up that recently got the sad news that our beloved 9 year old rescue staffy has an aggressive brain tumour and only 4-6 weeks left with us.

Our red boy is the epicentre of our lives and this has pretty much shocked us to the core. We're brokenhearted and if over the next few days and weeks my posting suffers please bear with and bot me as necessary.

Round 4 Status: Shaken (–2 penalty to ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks)

As the dredger he removed attempts to turn of him, Brundus avoids its mandibles and counters with a heavy punch (Melee Attack - Standard Action);

[KAC Melee Attack vs Dredger B] Battleglove, Cestus: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 2 = 22

Round 3

Brundus flicks bug ichor from his fist and moves towards where Jerry grapples with another 15ft Move Action to Jerry.

"Exterminator calling... Heard you got some Bug trouble sir?"

The lashunta grins as he attempts to wrench the Dredger off the Jerry;

Round 1 Status: Shaken (–2 penalty to ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks) & Dredger for company... again...

Seeing the tenacious bug reattach itself, the lashunta growls in anger and attempts once again to tear if off;

DC10 STR: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 - 2 = 18

"Frak you bug!"

He once again attempts to swat the creature with an armoured fist: (Melee Attack - Standard Action)[/ooc]

Damn - was convinced I'd posted... Apologies

DC12 Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Brundus watches the explosion, then as the Sarge identifies it as one of the spacedocks, the big lashunta visibly quails;

"By the Lady of Bones! That could have been me... Was plannin' on bailin' offworld first chance I got before I signed up..."

As the gravity and scale of the Swarm's carnage sinks in, he unconsciously emits his thoughts to the group;

{we ain't getting off this grave-world... none of us...}

Brundus nods at the Ryder's tactical acumen;

"Copy that Sarge. I'll go west... have my heavy weapon readied for the buggers."

He hefts his Agitator and moves ahead of a western stretch of rubble, taking a knee as he readied for the coming assault.

Brundus lumbers along with the squad as they enter Brinnoa.

Leaving Ryder to take the lead, the big Lashunta nudges Jerry with a hard smile;

"Neck and neck in the kill stakes eh JR? Maybe you'll be able to snag a vid-cam in the wreckage somewhere... Start gettin' our war on the holo-tubes!"

As talk between the Sarge and Major shift to tactics, the former corp-muscle starts paying more attention...

Brundus wipes some ichor from his battle glove as he mulls Ryder's advice;

"I hear ya Top. Give me 10 minutes and I'll be good to go."

The big lashunta trudges to retrieve his ditched Agitator, checking it is still operative, before shouldering the heavy weapon.

If everyone is cool with the delay I'll spend 1 Resolve to regain Stamina after 10 minutes rest

Round 5 Conditions/Boosts: Flanking, Get 'Em

As the remaining dredger is surrounded but continues to evade their collective attacks, an angered Brundus focusses - lining it up for an armoured punch...

Round 4 Conditions/Boosts: +1 AC, +2 Skill Checks and +10’ movement for 4 rounds (Leech's injected chemicals 4/4)

Brudus scowls as the wriggling dredger avoids his brutish attentions.

As he see's Aygavan summoning his strength to break free, the hulking Lashunta tries to line it up for another punch (Melee Attack Standard Action):

[KAC Melee Attack vs B] Battleglove, Cestus: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Damage [Bludgeoning]: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Gritting his teeth, the bulky lashunta moves toward the remaining dredger, swinging a fist at the creature; (20ft Move Action, Melee Attack Standard Action)

Brundus flashes a grin as Leech's injection courses through his veins;

"Damn that's a good cocktail Leech! Feel like I could take on the whole frakkin' swarm!"

He aims his Agitator at the distant bug; its power cylinder humming ominously as the weapon prepares to fire...

Brundus eyes the others as they give their backgrounds;

"Real mixed bag eh? Well I'm long way from home in Castrovel. Was a Contractor for mining corp Astral Extractions as a "Freelance Coercer" they call it, merc-muscle by any other name. Got shipped here to protect local AE assets and personnel, maybe on account of that rumour Leech heard 'bout the soil? Anyways AE pulled out, I stuck around... cherry picked some gear and joined up. Maybe bust some bug heads instead of protesters!"

He pauses flashing a hard grin at Jerry;

"You going to put us all on the holo-tubes JR? Make us Pact World Stars? Make sure you get my best killin' side if you do!"

The hulking Lashunta flashes hard grin;

"Leech it is."

As the group assemble and start the trudgery of patrolling, Brundus hefts his heavy weapon as he falls in. Wether due to the weight of his kit and armaments, or just his natural pace you quickly note he's moving slower than the rest of the group (25ft Movement)

"No night eyes for me Sarge, got a flashlight... but hopin' we'll all be seeing' by the light o' a burning Swarmer!"

He taps the trigger on his Agitator. which emits an ominous "humming" noise before he powers it down.

Brundus also heads back, grabs some more chow and then sleep head of the patrol mobilisation.

Once up he stretches and does some light training to get the blood flowing before donning his cold-weather fatigues issued by his last employer.

He then checks over his kit: cleaning and functioning weapons and equipment before donning his heavy armour.

Smiling at the familiar heft he makes his way to the meeting point where he spots Berith waiting.

"Evening. Berith right?"

Brundus flashes a hard smile as the veteran Vesk affirms his notion that the rumour is far-fetched.

"Don't you worry Rivera, when I burn 'em up they'll be plenty of light!"

The lashunta chuckles grimly to himself.

Brundus' intense observation of the holo-map and accompanying Dredger image is broken when Berith mentions the soil;

Huh. Not heard that one. Soil? Sounds far fetched...Might explain why AE sent us tho'.

The big Lashunta pipes up with his own take;

"At the Astral Extractions safehouse, one of the other... contractors... claimed to be a bug expert. Said he'd seen the creature they say controls the Swarm invasion force. Swore it was the size of a skyscraper, got multiple heads an' can kill anything within a mile of it using only its minds... Sounds like naur-dung to me Top. You seen anything like that?"

Brundus listens intently to the veteran Vesk, then tries to hide (and fails) expressing his disappointment at the squad's designation and assignment;

Midnight Squad... Patrolling. Ugh. Still might come across something to hit. If not that android'll get round 2.

The burly Lashunta takes in Sgt. Ryder's question and view with a nod but remains silent - keeping his eyes transfixed on the holo-map;

Canny. Planning ahead and looking for intel.

Rising from his table Brundus finishes the last bite of a nutrient bar.

He glances around the mess hall, trying to discern if its an assignment, or if his "disagreement" with that smartmouthed android was coming back to haunt him.

Damned andi had it comin'. Can't jabber them big words through broken teeth... Heh.

With a hard smile the bulky Lashunta lumbers his way toward the Major's office...

@Jerry: The Tactical Plasma Bolter does hit like a mule (at low levels) BUT it eats charges... best stock up on Batteries if your packing one.

Was thinking the same regards the tent - happy to chip in or plain buy one up if folks are strapped.

Perfect - Brundus is now an Armour Storm Soldier.

In his preferred melee he's a brute, but is packing a Heavy Weapon: Agitator, Ember, so he has fire support covered for the squad.

Bring on the bugs :)

Brundus will ultimately use Heavy Weapons as his ranged option - Shock and Awe gives any powered and ammo based weapons the Bright quality , so eesentially weaponry in his hands will be like "tracer fire".

While I've built Brundus very much with melee in mind (high STR) I'm happy to reign that back to 16 STR and up to 14 DEX to give him more ranged "punch" - if it means him laying down suppression fire etc where necessary?

Grenade Launcher is another consideration for him... key thing is want him to be value to the squad lol.

@AG: No Longarms or Sniping for me. Having a quick swatch at Ryder and Berith doesn't look like either of them are packing long barrels of any kind. Don't think witchwarper's get either?

Might be we need to scavenge better bang-bang from the war zone?

Reviewing feat picks - am mulling the Jet Dash: grants the benefit below...

Jet Dash Feat:

Benefit: When running, you move six times your land speed. Whenever you jump, double the height and distance you can jump. While running, you don’t gain the flat-footed condition.

My thinking is it'll allow Brundus to close to foes in double time?

I'd probably lean away from survival synergy if only because we have a soldier, so he might be pretty good at that.

Agree on the Skill Synergy - but if guy's are looking for Brundus to be a survival expert... his -1 WIS somewhat stymies that lol. He does have Survival +3, but for a class skill that's pretty "meh" (I'm clocking that down to his past on Castrovel rather than using it in his Corp-Merc contracts.)

Currently picked Cleave as his starting Feat (Brundus is an up-close & personal combatant - his ranged option is chucking a Handaxe at something lol...) figure you lot can keep the buggers busy at range while he closes an' squashes them!

Brundus alias-in-progress...

@artjuice: I'm GM'ing a (very) bastardised version of the Dead Suns AP here on the boards. Only advice I would have is prep... get your maps (if you're using them) along with player/foe tokens all lined up then drip feed as necessary. Same with any handouts - also check on the message boards under the Attack of the Swarm Link to those forum threads. You'll find others running the game and potentially sourcing material or issues they've encountered (and solutions).

Know the Dead Suns threads were (and still are) an invaluable resource for me :)
