Codename "BalloonBoy"'s page

One of the things left behind in the cargo bay begins to stir and then floats it's way up into the mission briefing.

This one is sorry for the late interruption to the briefing. This one received poor directions from Starfinder Host Gear 2.0. This one should have realized that "Sleep in the bay" was some sort of idiom. This one would like to apologize to Commune Starfinders.

Shaped more like a floating plated seashell of armor with pink tentacles hanging down from it, the thing floats over to the space Gear would have occupied.

This one is addressed in common tongue as "Balloonboy". It was this one's codename during military service. Please do not allow this one to interrupt the briefing.

This will be the character i'm actually allowed to play with. Again, I'm so sorry for the mistake. I'll slot my boons in a bit.

Balloonboy gives a noodly hug to each.

This one has been told that physical contact is appropriate after a mission. Please enjoy yourselves, Host Starfinders. May you live long and prosper.

Balloonboy tries to line up his shot better...

Sniper Shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10

Balloonboy turns his weapon towards the dragon.

Sniper Shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11

But is apparently startled enough that he fumbles the shot.

Balloonboy let's the others speak... this is not his time or place.

Balloonboy floats along, hovering as high as he can near the ceiling.

This one is most impressed with host compucast's skill. This one finds Host Compucast to be a exemplar in his field.

Balloonboy slides out his weapon as if expecting something bad. His mental voice sounds weary.

This one does not think that this one's species was well adapted to swimming through that. This one is most tired.

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Balloon boy squiggles his tentacles like a jellyfish.

Athletics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

I'm at a convention as well, but will post when I can.

Balloonboy looks around...

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Athletics: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Balloonboy makes like his namesake, and does not help Garven very much by wrapping a tentacle around his waste and fluttering about in the wind.

THIS ONE APPRECIATES THE WEIGHT HOST GARVEN! IT IS PERHAPS LESS COMFORTABLE THAN I EXPECTED!

They do make flying uncomfortable, though it does not affect me to much.

Fine by me. I'm picking up tips for when I finally run some starship combat PBP.

Balloonboy lines up his shot.

Coilgun: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 2) = 9

Doh!
As Kalkan points out the weakspot, Balloonboy shifts to make room, sending his shot completely wide.

Oh dear. This one will have to recalibrate.

Just posting under the assumption that our ace pilot will keep us in range since I'm manning the turret.

More Dakka: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
damage: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 2) = 8

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
damage: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 2) = 11

Relativity is important host Garven. Starboard to our ship.

Guns: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
damage: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 4) = 14

Target locked. Eradicating Host form "Smiler"

Balloonboy Targets his weapon.

Coilgun: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
damage: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 3) = 9

Balloonboy twists the guns for another barrage.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14-2 if not encouraged to shoot by captain
damage: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 3) = 7If power diverted, 1s become 2 for 9.

Balloonboy prepares to fire as soon as he can, his body swiveling to prepare to fire as soon as they can take the shot.

(just giving you the roll now to save on time.)

Turrent: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 3) = 13

Balloonboy threads it's tentacles through the gunner controls, expecting things to go badly.

Sorry, at gen, I'm in

Balloonboy telepathically murmurs...

This one is glad Host Starfinders could remove slaver taint. Forced merging and servitude is most heinous. Let us proceed.

Diplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 12 Betterish?

Balloonboy floats down a little above Compucast...

Intimidate: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

While the floating Barathu doesn't say anything, a floating heavily armored tentacle monster flying behind a well armed vesk is a surprisingly effective tactic to convince people to accept a drink and walk away.

Same here. :(

Balloonboy whispers to Compucast through their comm units.

Host Compucast, perhaps if the Android selves wish to disengage from the host body, we may assist? Such disruption to the host might allow us additional opportunity as well. Perhaps you may pose this deal to our new acquaintance?

Balloonboy floats up closer to the ceiling and then begins to wriggle his tentacles... you think he's dancing? Or whatever the barathu equivalent is?

Disguise: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Balloonboy puts a hat on.

It's a nice hat.

Balloon boy seeing how well the others are doing decides to await their answers rather than recieve more rejections.

I'll second that vote.

Sniper Shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11

Target Acquired.

This time, Balloonboy's bullet finds it's mark.

Sniper Shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12

Another bullet thuds next to the leader.

This one apologizes Host Compucast. This one has over-corrected in a attempt to avoid harming you. This one will try again.

There com unit's hiss softly.

This one will harry the leader. Expect incoming long arm ordinance.

Sniper Shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9

A bullet slams into the ground near the leader.

Re-calibrating. Please continue to upload visual telemetry for long distance firing range calculations. Your assistance is appreciated.

As they head into the slums, Balloonboy begins to float up... up... and up and away from them. Com unit's click on and a message comes in from him.

This one will assist with looking from above. Starfinder Hosts cooperation is appreciated as we hunt the target.

Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Balloonboy stays back, and above as much as he can, knowing that he does not do well with conversing with non-barathu, and let's the others try to talk to him first.

Balloonboy responds, his voice a bit more measured.

Remember, Starfinders host does not concern with legal troubles of Target, Designation Lurecti, only the tablet he holds. Perhaps this reveals leverage point to retrieve tablet, if Target's crime is not to egregious to Host Kalkan?

Profession Bounty Hunter: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Yuck. Marking as bounty anyways.

Balloonboy returns shortly, his telepathic speech tinged with frustration.

Many of these host forms are not willing to speak with this one. Most unfortunate.

Ballonboy is also a bounty hunter! Yay!

Balloonboy makes a odd sound kinda like a bubbly purr.

Oh! A scientist to! How wonderful! To learn about others!

At the question about how it floats, Balloonboy sorta... rotates in the air.

This one is not sure. How do you locomote using legs? It seems quite complicated... so much math to properly account for shifts in terrain so you don't fall over... how do pedal creatures express thought patterns and move at the same time? Floating is so much simpler... the worst is the need to account for wind conditions...

---------------------------------------------

In the shuttle, Ballonboy hovers over Starrunner's shoulder to read the pad... somehow. It doesn't seem to have eyes...

Hmmmmm.... when my squad host wished to find people who needed help, it often began by looking for those who looked for the target.

Balloon boy does best at shooting things, and PM sent. :)

Thanks for the heads up on the name!

The rifle slides back up into Balloonboys armor and he floats around Deloran, clearly not familiar with human "Personal Space" it's tentacles almost probing the air around him. Which, considering Barathu, is very likely that it has no concept of personal space.

Oooooh... this one is surprise to meet a fabled pacifist within starfinder host!! This one's squadron host spoke of kind like you, who do not kill. Have not yet met form who holds this thought pattern. Most fascinating, most fascinating! It is sad that humans cannot join as host, this one would relish the experience to mingle thought pattern with pacifist. Please, tell me more of your "Personal Thing"...

Or "Personal" for that matter.

A Barathu floats serenely above the others, though the heavy armor covering it's entire body makes it look as much like a drone as BUG does. Everyone feels the faint telepathic speech of the Barathu as it speaks.

This one will be most excited to assist the host Starfinders in retrieving the tablet. My codename granted to me by my old squadron is "Balloonboy". This one still uses that designation.

Balloonboy wriggles it's tentacles and a very long barreled sniper rifle slides into them.

Please note, this one prefers to have as much distance as possible to combat encounters. If you will be willing to provide access to your data feeds so I may have multiple views of the battlefield, it would greatly assist my targeting parameters.

The Manifold Host boon I got with all the other stuff I got while making this character at Origins, So it's slapped on at character creation. :)

Also, I derped, Character number 176948-702

Ah!

Then I would probably shove all my earned reputation into my Manifold Host. :) I'll double check my records for incidentals.

Hooray! Didn't realize I was picked! Woo!
