Chip the Android's page

You have a force shield up, so I have you as having some SP left.

the force shield gives temp HP, not SP. I am pretty confident my count of 0 sp and 27 hp is correct.

Swagger Handcannon v FLAT FOOTED: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 20
P: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

drone attack V FLAT FOOTED: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 = 27
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

ref: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
oof.

Current: 0 St, 27 hp

Chip silently berates himself for having set up a tasty target (HONESTLY, what rational creature would PREFER A DRAGON???), and moves to triangulate--but still in range in case Kaz needs some direct backup.

Swagger Handcannon: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 20
P: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

drone attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Chip continues to move forward to hopefully provide some direct support for Kaz. While he closes, he can be heard to mutter in an accented voice ...I rather prefer a dragon!! He stops, tilts his head, then mutters in his own voice Actually, I think I'd prefer cavalry. Why would a rational being prefer a dragon??

Swagger Handcannon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
P: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

drone attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Chip activates his extra shielding, then moves closer to take some heat of Kaz as soon as he can. The drone continues firing on the wounded foe.

Temp HP: 9

drone attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

perception, Chip: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Chip and the drone keep firing on the final opponent.

Swagger Handcannon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
P: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

drone attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Both Chip and the drone concentrate on White. Chip closes a bit, anticipating taking some heat off Kaz if he gets hit again.

Swagger Handcannon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
P: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

drone attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Chip gives the drone the new ENGAGE command, and it turns to fire on the near-dead foe. Chip does the same (unless the drone offs it, inwhich case hit the most injured)

Swagger Handcannon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
P: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

drone attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Don't argue with success...keep the same actions! (targeting same wounded enemy)

Engineering (drone): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28

Swagger Handcannon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
P: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Chip's drone continues its previous action--jamming up the gears

engineering: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38

...while Chip himself draws his handcannon and fires at the wounded Ej thug

Swagger Handcannon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
P: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Chip sends his drone closer, with it grasping several stones in its arms. He turns to Angel conversationally.

Angel, my strengths are in engineering, and yours are computers. I suggest we play to our own strengths. Do you concur?

Meanwhile, the drone hurls its stones into the gears!

Engineering: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38

for the record, engineering/computer checks can be done from 20' away

reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Chip takes the acid full in the face, only really noticing when his eyes start to melt and his lungs blister.

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

...fascinating...

Angel knows she ain't the best swimmer, so she sticks closer to Aldo & Kaz during her attempt...

Athletics(C): 1d20 + 0 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 0 - 2 = 11

Chip tips his head about 3 degrees farther than normal, but swims after Aldo, ready to grab his rope.

athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

I forgot how high my athletics skill was...

Can we experiment a bit with swimming in an arc above the trench, to avoid some of the current's pull?

survival aid: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Seven?!?! That's a Lotta toggle flips. But...SEVEN!!!

Agreed (but I'd be fine with going for all of it if there's a vote tie...)

Chip opts for the laser pistol again, and tries to determine if he hits whether the fire is effective or if he should switch to the Big Gun...

laser pistol: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 1 = 29
Fire: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

drone attack, cavitation pistol: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Dont forget Kaz’s Coordinated Shot Feat, comrades get a +1 to hit w/ ranged weapons on same opponent Kaz is in melee with.

excellent reminder. Perhaps have that in a "conditions" spoiler or something that you can copy any time you're in melee so we don't forget (BLESS PRAYER HASTE!!)?

Chip and the drone both fire on the elemental. Chip hesitates for only a moment while reaching for his swagger handcannon, and opts instead for his laser pistol, thinking fire damage might be more effective here!

laser pistol: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 <--or not...
fire: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

drone attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

drone is separate--between the big rock & the wall to the right of the elemental

Just to be sure I fully understand: the more of the metal we take, the better off the Aglians are?

If that's the case, between piloting and engineering (of both Chip & Angel) I'd advocate to GOFER IT and get it all!!

I fully support education of all kinds, and would be delighted to enter a school.

Chip decides that this, he can do.
OHMMMMMMMMM

diplomacy, aid: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

if Chip ends up being required for this, we're in major trouble...

life science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Kaz moved

Chip, recalling the area of effect the last jelly used, spreads out to attack.

Swagger Handcannon: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 2 = 14
P: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

drone attack: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 2 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Chip looks directly in Shan's eyes for an uncomfortable moment.

That IS unacceptable.

with a long breath, he adds in a gravelly voice I aim to misbehave.

Returning to his regular mode of speech, he asks How, precisely, do we contact the aglians?

Chip tilts his head about 3 degrees more than usual--a sign of agitation.

Are you suggesting that the EJ terraforming activities here will wipe out this species? If that is the case...I believe we may have a moral imperative to prevent this genocide. This is my opinion if it matters, but it is not wholly my decision...

Chip snaps to. My apologies, I was woolgathering.

Android and drone get to work shoring up the pumps, rerouting power and even flow when possible.

Engineering: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23

you could save the Terra-5 station.

is this, in fact, what we want??? :-)

that Sense Motive is literally impossible for me to make...

can we roll the rack out easily enough to salvage? I'm not sure about the armor, unless Kaz can shoulder it...

Very well, let's go rescue these...life forms.

These last 2 words are in a bit of a sing-song voice...

He pauses in the midst of a little finger-snap-hand-clap gesture, then turns to Shan. We might save some time. My drone might retrace our steps and alert the ones we've already found to leave. Perhaps if I could record a quick message from you that the drone could replay to them...

the drone has a camera & can record; I'm thinking it could do a 20 second video of Shen saying "GET OUT!!" and be able to play it for anyone it finds?? That way we can go where we haven't yet while still backtracking

Shan, Kaia...you are much more familiar with this facility than we are. Do we have any time to, as you suggest, "Give Ej a black eye" before we are inundated?

Hello Shan. Tarika would like a word with you, and we'd like to facilitate that reunion.

Chip takes a quick look around the room for Ej info!!

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

BOTTING FOR ALDO

Calm yourself!! I promise we're not assassins, and we're certainly NOT after you! Maybe we can help you?? I'm Aldo, that weird-looking--but harmless!--fellow there is Chip. My other friends here are Kaz and Angel. Please, put down your weapon and let's use our words instead!

diplomacy: 1d20 + 17 + 1d6 ⇒ (16) + 17 + (4) = 37

diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Unfortunately, Chip's drone is hovering right in front of his face and it's pretty unsettling.

Chip puts his hands at shoulder level, palms out, indicating a lack of current assassination-related activity. He's smart enough to know anything he says is as likely to make things worse as better, so he keeps silent.

Chip begins receiving instruction...

engineering: 1d20 + 19 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 19 + 2 = 24

Chip's drone flies back to hover near him.

We will want to get some additional data on the nature of the "station blew up" statement, but for now we would be wise to defer to your expertise and affect repairs as quickly as possible. Please use me and my colleague Angel here to assist you, we are both also skilled in computers and engineering.

Chip quickly examines the unconscious human (which, a bit disconcertingly, includes his drone crawling over him taking certain measurements)

medicine: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Chip begins adjusting his button-punching. I will free the captives. There is a great deal of valuable materials here--can the rest of you see what you can recover?

Chip! Angel! FIX IT! the vesk angrily snaps. Annoyed by them freezing for a sec.

Chip immediately states loudly EMERGENCY CLOSE! but when that doesn't work, the 'droid detaches the drone to try to shut the doors.

engineering: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20 <--really Dice Bot? Really???

He turns to Aldo Can you telepathically ask the little eel school if they know anything about Shan, or any otter person?

While furiously punching buttons, Chip glances up at Kaz. Perhaps they can find Olive, the Other Reindeer as well

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

Chip pockets one of the datapads with incriminating evidence against EJ

left door looks promising...

Chip, Kaz, and I will be at The Gathering starting tomorrow

WAITWAIT PHIL IS GOING TOO?!?!?!?!

Chip goes for a datapad

Computers: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Chip keeps firing, hoping he's far enough away to avoid the Jellyfish Blow

Swagger Handcannon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
P: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

drone attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Chip and the drone both fire--then they both spread out away from each other, hoping to find a spot that wont' catch EVERYone in the attack next time

Swagger Handcannon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
P: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

drone attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Chip looks at the giant jellyfish thoughtfully, trying to determine the best methods of attack...

Life Science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
I'm assuming an active knowledge check takes a move action

then he commands his drone to go out and fire on it

drone attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Life Science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

[ooc]due to being at a con this weekend I'm not going to be able to level Chip until at least Sunday night, sorry.
