Thank-you for running :-)

Day Job - Profession(Vidgamer): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17.

Beta nods gravely.

"It is not quite over yet, though..."

They head over to the pedestal, and slot in the three sandstone tablet fragments...

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4.

Quite shaken, Beta nevertheless fires off another volley of amped-up force missiles.

Magic Missile, Technomantic Talent x2: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 Force damage.

Beta fires a volley of force missiles at the dragon.

Magic Missile, Technomantic Talent x2: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 Force damage.

"I find it hard to believe that you are a willing 'guardian' of this place, since your kind are the natural enemies of the Dreamers! You cannot fool us!"

They then prepare to cast a spell...

Well, those are, at least in PF1, not known for being 'nice' dragons, so...

Beta maintains the sort of inscrutable expression that only a hologram can, but still replies.

"We were sent here by a Dreamer, to recover what is stored within."

Beta quietly steps back, and checks their databanks, trying to identify the dragon.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20.

I mean... sure... but you have a better modifier than I do...?

Encouraged by Nippostia, Beta pulls out their trapsmith's tools, and has a crack at disrupting the runic circuits.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 4 + 2 = 24.

Beta immediately stops in their tracks.

"There is a runic trap ahead!"

Physical Science: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22.

Beta is suitably impressed.

"This sandstone is not native to this moon... Someone went to an *awful* lot of trouble to set this place up!"

The hologram then cautiously steps forward up the stairs, and looks around.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23.

"This... is going to be rough!"

Athletics: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6.

Beta does his best to navigate through the tunnels.

Physical Science: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19.
Engineering: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22.
Mysticism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11.

"Well, we now have the three fragments that we needed. Hopefully, we can now put them to good use."

Beta shrugs.

"Your funeral, then..."

Magic Missile, TTx2: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 Force damage.

Well, for the moment at least, we can just leave, right?

Beta purposeful moves towards the exit.

Double move through difficult terrain.

Technomantic Talent (Evocation) x2: I can set two of the dice to their maximum value, so 1d4+11 instead of 3d4+3

Beta blasts Red.

Magic Missile, Technomantic Talent (Evo x2): 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 Force damage.

Beta hangs back at the door, and pummels Bogden with force missiles.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1, 1) + 3 = 9 Force damage.

Beta does their best to grab remote access.

Computers: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30.

Pretty certain that gets it! If it does, I will definitely pop open the safe, and grab the contents. Assuming that the tablet is in there, I will head back out, activating all of the other effects as cover for our escape (warning the others over comms so that they are not surprised).

Calling up a Holographic Interface, Beta attempts to hack the console.

Computers: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24.

Spotting something odd about one of the paintings, Beta moves to investigate it.

@GM: Lash rolled a Stealth roll when I did - they got a 31 :-)

Beta attempts to fix the fact that the door is not opening.

Engineering: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19.

If that does not work (probably), he will move on to the door to the north of that one.

Beta hesitates for a moment, then tries the door directly in front of him.

Well, only the 'fire exit' door doesn't have a bouncer or two in front of it, so I am going to go with that one.

Of course, needless to say, I am going to go right ahead and try to disable the fire alarm, so we don't set it off when going through.

Engineering: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23.

Beta likewise tries to take advantage of the distraction to sneak into the 'employee only' part of the building.

Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22.

Beta is definitely not built for stealth, but if someone else makes a distraction, he can follow along!

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27.

Beta quietly informs the others about the x-shaped scars on the verthanis' hands.

All good! I didn't interpret it as a command ;-)

Beta, having adjusted their reconfigurable clothing to its 'Party' setting, nods at Napostia's words.

"Very well."

Engineering: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33.

"Happy to be of help! Best of luck with the 'cleaning'..."

Beta gives Lash an encouraging thumbs-up!

Beta tries to blast the other ship out of the sky!

Coilgun: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 = 24, for 4d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 3) = 14 damage.

Beta opens fire upon the other ship again...

Coilgun: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 = 28, for 4d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 4) = 12 damage.

...scoring a devastating blow!

It's a shame crits don't double in starship combat :-/

As far as I can tell, the ship is behind an asteroid, which means I can't target it. If I can, then I will shoot it. If not, and I can target the asteroid-mounted gun, I will shoot it instead.

Coilgun: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 26, for 4d4 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 4) = 10 damage.

It was the free attack from their failed fly-by. Targeting the quadrant that we hit last time.

Gunnery:

Beta continue to mercilessly plug away with the coilgun.

Coilgun: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25, for 4d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 4) = 14 damage.

Beta once again fires the turret coilgun.

Coilgun: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25, for 4d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 3) = 13 damage.

Effectively, we can have two gunners most rounds - turret, plus whatever arc we have facing the enemy.

Beta opens fire with the coilgun.

Coilgun: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 = 26, for 4d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 3, 1) = 9 damage.

"Travel to broaden horizons... and discretion to keep secrets. I'm sure that you can appreciate that."

Mysticism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24.

Lash and I are the best gunners, with +7 each.

I'm level 4, so I'm probably 'higher' at most roles (that I am trained in). Gunner is my preferred option, though, since it helps to finish Starship combats sooner.

Beta chuckles.

Traffic accidents in space have the potential to cause widespread disaster, so a little chewing out is the least they deserve.

Beta will take the hunting rifle as a back-up weapon, if no-one else has a particular desire to claim it.

As for the restaurant, although they do not eat, they are happy to join in as a spectator, vicariously enjoying the experience, and the company.

Beta pumps some force missiles into Red, which take the form of white comet-like objects, trailing tails that look like strings of code.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 Force damage, using Technomantic Talent to maximise two dice.

Meanwhile, Gamma fires another blast of laser light at the same target.

Azimuth Artillery Laser: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18, for 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Fire damage.

Beta lines up a shot on Blue...

Ghost Killer Thunderstrike Rifle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14, for 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Sonic damage.

...whilst Gamma opens their mouth, and a blast of laser fire shoots forth!

Azimuth Artillery Laser: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25, for 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Fire damage.

Beta looks to the others, and nods.

"That sounds like something we should be able to help with."

"Is there anything we could do to help expedite matters?"

Beta's personal spin doctor steps forward to smooth things over...

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25.
