How's it going guys? Found the lost treasure yet? Or the X that marks the spot? If not, what's your next move?

Oh dear .... did Ears actually try out that formula I told him about? I warned him it was dangerous. I told him he'd need a transparent aluminum barrier

The computer scans tell you that the planetoid has unusually high gravity, approximating that of Absalom Station and lost Golarion, which is likely artificial. You also confirm that the canals are filled with liquid mercury.

Chryssi brings the ship down on a clear hex one mile from the pyramid, the only place clear enough to land on. I'd better stay with the ship in case something happens - as per protocol. Have fun you guys. Don't do anything I wouldn't do ... which isn't much. giggles

Black sand covers the planet’s entire surface except the footpaths, which are paved with opalescent white stone. Liquid mercury ripples intermittently along the 10-foot-wide canals that divide the surface into hexagonal grids. Each grid contains a single structure, colored in infinite variations of gray and silver. These small monuments range in size and shape from blocky, angular three-story buildings to open-air pavilions only a few yards in diameter. Some are clearly miniature copies of larger buildings, with inch-wide “balconies” a mere foot above the ground. All are architectural follies with no functional entrances—save one; a towering pyramid of shining white stone.

Three of the pyramid’s faces are smooth and featureless, while the fourth features an inverted triangle enclosing one circle and overlapped by another, inset in gold and opal. (see slides).

The symbol rests at ground level and is 15 feet in diameter.

Your pilot, a tiefling named Chryssi, grins over to Raia at the words 'sexy upgrade'.

15+ Golarion is a Pact World’s planet that once orbited the sun where Absalom Station now does and is the home world of dwarves, humans, halflings, orcs, and many more. The planet disappeared during the Gap, along with its inhabitants and a few deities. If the pyramid has any connection to Golarion, it would be the discovery of the century.

20+: Jelev Rasheen sallied forth from Absalom Station in the early days of Drift travel. She returned every few years with fascinating tales and a hold full of fantastic treasure. After her final disappearance, stories continued to circulate that her final haul put her previous expeditions to shame—but no storyteller could present hard evidence of where she’d set her last set of Drift coordinates. The ambiguity of Rasheen’s disappearance inspired holovid dramas and adventure novels that, while short on historical accuracy, inspired a generation of explorers and treasure-hunters to set their own courses into the stars. Radaszam was one of them.

25+: A few years ago, while searching for leads on Rasheen’s discoveries in the Lorespire Complex, Radaszam stumbled across a flight plan that
Rasheen had registered. He set some Starfinders on the same course. On an icy moon they found a beacon Rasheen used to mark her progress, store
data, and leave messages for friends. This beacon contained coordinates leading to another beacon on the planet Kizmatta. After carefully navigating Kizmattan politics, the Starfinder Society was able to reach this second beacon, from which they extracted encrypted coordinates.

30+: The art and architecture of “lost Golarion” came into fashion early in the Drift travel era, around the time of Rasheen’s expeditions. Some colonists, from Absalom Station particularly, based their colonies on archaic designs from, or occasionally inaccurate reimagining’s of, lost Golarion’s civilizations. An asteroid in a remote star system would be an odd target for colonists, but stranger feats have been attempted.

After a long but uneventful transit to the Ukkoruuk system, you reach your destination amid an asteroid belt. Unlike its neighboring natural asteroids, the planetoid at Rasheen’s coordinates is spherical. It’s almost perfectly smooth surface consists of a hex grid divided by neat canals filled with a silver liquid, crossable by narrow footbridges. Each hex contains a structure, some only two or three yards tall. Most notable is the largest structure, a pyramid which almost occupies its entire hex. It has no visible entrance.

Computers checks to scan the asteroid.

Culture checks as well.

Chryssi puts a pirate hat on Keskodai. She is also very interested in what Ears has been up to and offers suggestions for a bigger boom.

This is the PC whom I'm crediting the entire series to.

Chronicle received, applied and filed. Thanks.

A rather surprised Chryssi, who had resigned herself to being dead, picks herself up and pats herself down to reassure herself that she's not dead.

I'm alive? I'M ALIVE!!! WHEEEEE!!!! And they're NOT. QA'PLA!

She nearly runs over and hugs Kneepuncher but then remembers her own injunction about being touched without permission. But, there is a very rare broad grin on the usually dour tiefling's face.

Someone is SO going to get theres when I get back to the station. High fives anyone?

profession(exotic dancer): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

Well, if I'm going out - I'm taking you with me.

She's feeling sad at this point and lets it all go at Zahenni.
entropic bolt: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29 necrotic: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Undead demonic annoyed Chryssi gets a bit closer to Zahenna and tries again
entropic bolt: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23 necrotic: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Sorry my loves. Looks like I'm not coming back from this one

It takes Chryssi a bit to figure out what she can do.

WHOOOOOO! I'm a big scary undead

and she fires an entropic missile at Zahenni.
entropic bolt: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18 necrotic: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Waitaminute. I'm an UNDEAD???? Celly's gonna KILL me

What the smegging pronk just happened? Chryssi exclaims as she examines her new form.

She too looks for something to take her anger out on and, spotting the blue tinged undead having a go at Kneepuncher, decides to help. Get that one down and they can all gang up on Zahenni.

mm: 3d4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3, 1) + 3 + 3 = 14

One of the missiles gets hacked 1d4 ⇒ 3 making it a total of 16 force

Chryssi takes the full blast of the spell and plummets towards the ground, unconscious.

fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Chyssi nearly avoids all the damage but nearly is not enough.

She hovers in place and magic missiles Orange
mm: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4, 3) + 3 = 13

Chryssi double moves straight up into the air to assess the situation.

I know someone you could talk to about that Chryssi replies. GO GET 'EM she adds hoping that is encouragement.

Chryssi casts Flight on herself while she figures out her best strategy.

fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

She also gets a vision of herself watching her BFWB swimming underwater with her gill implants and feeling regret that she didn't have the implants herself.

And there goes all her stamina again.

Chryssi casts Flight on herself while she figures out her best strategy.

piloting: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
mysticism: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

Chryssi does what Chryssi does best - yell at people.
intimidate: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

No. But we'd better go with the flow.

Chryssi is still trying to figure out what just happened as she helps the best she can.

physical science: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Chryssi spends resolve - one to stabilise, and another to stay in the fight.

will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

And Chryssi goes down.

Chryssi fires yet another round of missiles
mm: 3d4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 1) + 3 + 3 = 11

Chryssi fires more missiles at Evethriel
mm: 3d4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4, 4) + 3 + 3 = 18

That also hits Chryssi but she's not down yet. She hisses at the hit and casts Mirror Image

images: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Round and round the images go, which one is me - you'll never know

I'm gonna have to get better armour

Yeah .. well ... it's just your luck that my anger management counsellor is NOT HERE!

Chryssi shoots back with missiles
mm: 3d4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 2) + 3 + 3 = 13

will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

And that's all Chryssi's stamina gone - again.

Crud. I dunno if I can take another one of those... but ... gotta keep trying

I'm gonna WIPE the floor with your FACE! she snarls back
mm: 3d4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4, 3) + 3 + 3 = 16

Get BACK here Kneepuncher Chryssi shouts. We're not DONE

Don't suppose she can use intimidate to cower Kneepuncher enough to allow another save?

will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Chryssi gives Evethriel the finger before launching another volley.
mm: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 2) + 3 = 11

will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Oh THAT's the way you want it then? she growls Let's see who falls down FIRST!

Chrysalis's answer is a snarl followed by a barrage of force missiles at the elf.
mm: 3d4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) + 3 + 3 = 14

Chryssi gets to work on it.
computers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22

Fragmented time? That's certainly weird stuff

She frowns.

Chryssi becomes visible again, flies gracefully down to the floor and tries to shut down the engine.
computers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31

Chryssi has another go at the laser
computers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36

An invisible Chysalis continues working on the cannon.
computers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

She should be careful, the muffled cursing in Abyssal might give away her location, something to do with wanting to use a very large axe and a reprogramming it'll never forget.

Chryssi hacks into the cannon
computers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31

Maybe she can point it at the engine and get it to fire.

And there goes all of Chryssi's stamina. She hisses menacingly at the Sentinel before casting Invisibility on herself. She then flies upwards to wrap herself round the laser cannon itself so she can start shutting it down.

Chrysalis casts Fly on herself and takes to the air, to land on top of the engine so she can get at the laser. She can juuuust make it there.

Nightmares huh? I recently met a Dream Interpreter who could help you

fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Chryssi works on the laser even though that shot hurt.
computers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25

computers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26 to rearrange the walls
shoot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

In the words of a famous vid show captain 'Make is so'. Qa'pla

There ... wait a minute? Illusion?

She finds a small rock and hurls it into the center of the clearing.

will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Oooh. Pretty wildflowers

computers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

Chryssi gets distracted by the game. She loves first person shooters.

Chryssi tries the hand cannon again
swagger hand cannon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 piercing: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

She comes close to throwing it at the dino is sheer frustration with it.

Ah - Frelling handcannon

She fires three magic missiles at the beast
mm: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4, 1) + 3 = 12

It is SO tempting to belt out one of Abysshead's hits to give Kneepuncher and Omni a beat for their beat down.

Not sure I want to use my spells just yet

So she lets loose with her handcannon while yelling a Vesk battlecry
tIqIpqu' 'ej nom tIqIp.

swagger hand cannon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 piercing: 1d12 ⇒ 1

As far as I understand it, this Zhaneni is so dangerous and deranged that they do need to be put down for everyone's safety. I will have no hesitation in putting the knife in. As the Vesk say "QotDI' gheD tlhejbe' wamwI'".

survival: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

She nods at Kneepuncher. jaghmeylI' DaghIjjaj.
