Dawnfriend's page

I will forego a Day Job check to check off a box on my "Cultivating a Faith" boon ... and, based on this adventure, I think the congregant ally that I get from this boon will henceforth be a space goblin.

Dawnfriend spends time telling the goblins all about Sarenrae, and how she's the best friend, who helps with healing and redeems people who made bad decisions in the past. If any of them seem interested, he will try to recruit them to his faith.

Regardless of whether these efforts are successful, he says to Radaszam, "They're all very enthusiastic, and really want to help the Starfinders, I think, so they should be given the chance to. They just need very clear directions, I think. I could make a list of all of the ways they could help us out... in fact, here, I've already started one." He holds up a datapad that he was typing on with three of his hands while talking.

Perception from earlier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Dawnfriend seems completely bewildered about how to make it through tunnels ... Not sure of the consequence of that failure

As he listens to the various goblins, he says, "Well, I know that Zig is a big musical fan, though more of a Strawberry Machine Cake person ..." Having no particular ability to help them in a musical number, he begins pulling aside the various goblins and working through how they can be more productive in their way of showing appreciation for the Starfinders.

Profession(counselor): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Dawnfriend, also of small stature, scurries through the crowd, loudly proclaiming, "Excuse me! Out of the way, please! Oh, sorry. A little to the left, if you would. Thanks! Oh, do you need help?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

As soon as (if) I get within 35 feet of the goblin, I'd like to cast charm person on him. DC 15

Life Science: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Dawnfriend considers how best to help the little creatures avoid having problems.

Can I have check for Benny, and/or a Fort save for Dawnfriend?

Sorry, I thought it was either skill check or a Fort save. Here ya go

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Dawnfriend again begins gagging. "So ... very, very ... gross." Still, between some judicious use of token spell and culinary knowledge, he's able to help Raia a bit get the food sorted out.

Later on ...

Medicine: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Seeing the wounded shirren, Dawnfriend shrieks and runs forward, diving to the ground to touch the creature. A glowing flood of healing energy flows from his hands and into the wounded creature. "It'll be okay! Sarenrae'll help us out!"

Cast a level 1 mystic cure
Healing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Not seeing anything on no smell on your character sheet. Do you have any immunities or related bonuses you can point to?

I think he means because he had his environmental seals activated.

Dawnfriend runs around, intent on helping with the various tasks, including the combat, but not contributing much.

He nods in agreement with Raia. "Yes, we need to help Venture-Captain Naiaj and the dignitaries!"

Dawnfriend runs around, intent on helping with the various tasks, including the combat, but not contributing much.

He nods in agreement with Raia. "Yes, we need to help Venture-Captain Naiaj and the dignitaries!"

Fort save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Dawnfriend turns excitedly to the halfling and exclaims enthusiastically, "Yes! That was awesome!" He then begins having violent dry heaves. The discomfort he feels makes him completely unable to investigate anything or ask any questions about the mission until the feeling passes.

In between, he wheezes as he gasps for air, "Bad joke!"

Once he recovers, he runs around trying to help with the various tasks and getting prepared for the mission.

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Profession(cook): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Not with this character, no.

An orange-furred skittermander wearing white religious robes comes darting into the room. "Hello!" he exclaims, running up to everyone around and intently shaking their hands. "I'm Dawnfriend! What's your name? Can I help you with anything? Do you need any healing? Can I tell you about Saranrae? She's a god, and she's like your best friend ever!"

He darts over toward Radaszam. "Hello, Rad-friend! Ooh, what a nice present. Is that for the whole society? What a nice gift from our neighbors!" He begins examining the box intently.

I'm checking off my Cultivating the Faith boon instead of making a dayjob check with my downtime.

Dawnfriend says, in a clearly disapproving tone, "That person was not helpful."

Dawnfriend frowns. "Who are you, nufriend? This doesn't seem very nice. We're supposed to be helping the Abadarfriends."

Dawnfriens resumes trying to turn his attention to finding hazards and directing Liftt away from them. "Left now, about 10 degrees ... Okay, now right 30 degrees ..."

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Dawnfriend says to Liftt, "I think these natural trails are from crabs that have pounded them flat. If you stick to them, you should have very easy going." He glances nervously back at the wall of water. "But you might want to go faster."

Dawnfriend looks ahead, trying to identify the smoothest path. "There, over there, a little to the left ..."

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

"Great driving! You can do it!"

Round 1: Encourage Liftt
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Dawnfriend casts mystic cure to heal himself.

Healing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Dawnfriend grabs the cable that he tried to use climbing down, and hopes it provides some more help in climbing back up to the vehicles.

Athletics: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7

Athletics: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1

Athletics: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19

After a disturbing amount of effort, presumably he finally makes it up the hill, covered in muck and slime. He begins casting token spell on anyone else who needs help getting clean, and then turns his attention to cleaning himself.

Dawnfriend calmly cheers on Rattus as he performs the delicate work of extracting the coral strands.

Dawnfriend's three free arms begin flying across his body in an attempt to clear himself from the slime that coats him.

Move action: Clear slime for Reflex save.
Reflex save: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 2 = 24

While about half of his arms clean his fur, the arm holding the pistol fires a shot off toward the remaining ghelarn.

Static arc pistol attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Statis arc pistol damage (E, nonlethal): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Large creatures normally have 10 foot reach, and I'm 15 feet away along the diagonal, so I thought I was safe. If this is an exception, then I misjudged and am fine triggering the AoO.

Reflex save (from last round): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
With that failure, I think green's attack would just barely succeed (as opposed to just barely miss), and so I'm at -11 HP.

Dawfriend lifts three of his hands, which begin to glow with an orange fire. Two hands hold firm on the battle staff, ready to whack again if needed. With his final hand, he draws his static arc pistol to be at the ready.

The glow from his hands spreads a healing warmth through this body.

Move action: Draw pistol. Standard action: Cast mystic cure on self

mystic cure healing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Reflex save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Dawnfriend continues to whack intently the one that's attacking him.

Full attack
Battle staff attack 1 vs. black's KAC: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 - 4 = 7
Battle staff damage (B): 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Battle staff attack 2 vs. black's KAC: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 4 = 4
Battle staff damage (B): 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Dawnfriend shrieks, then whacks at the tentacled creature with his battle staff. "Stop it! Stop it!"

Battle staff: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Battle staff damage(bludgeoning): 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Thanks! Recovery seems to be going well. :)

I am going into the hospital tomorrow for a foot surgery. It's been moved around a few times, and unexpectedly moved up to tomorrow because they had an opening. Outpatient, so I expect to be online again sometime this weekend, depending on how groggy I am recovering from the anesthetic and medicine.

If things go sideways, feel free to bot me. The usual: dazing or fatiguing enemies, nonlethal damage, and healing spells. If it looks really tough, I do have shield other if someone looks like they're getting close to taking HP damage (doesn't help w/ stamina damage).

With the cable attached, Dawnfriend helps hold it for people as they climb down, then follows them. He slips and slides a bit, not being particularly athletic, but eventually makes it to the bottom. "What have we got here?" He looks into the basin.

Dawnfriend climbs in the buggy that Liftt is driving, riding in one of the passenger seats. He hums along happily as they drive through the exotic terrain. He climbs out upon reaching the basin and looks over the edge. "Wow, that's steep." He pulls out his titanium cable. "How far down do you think that is? This is 100 feet. We clamp the end onto the buggy, to help climb down."

Dawnfriend's wisp ally continues to harry the red ysoki, as he fires at the other ysoki.

Static arc pistol attack vs. cyan ysoki's EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Static arc pistol damage (electricity, nonlethal): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Sorry. Harrying fire.

Dawnfriend pulls his static arc pistol. As he does so, two other hands begin twirling, a dancing flame springing from them toward one of the non-burning ysoki.

Cast wisp ally on the red ysoki. Draw pistol.

I do usually have my staff out ... gotta keep at least a couple of my hands occupied with something. It has a symbol of Sarenrae on it, but clearly is also functional as a weapon, I would assume.

Dawnfriend nods in agreement with Liftt. "Yes, we're looking to stop some more trouble from happening, and need to find something in the library. Could you please help us, nufriend Great Librarian Rethra?"

Diplomacy (aid): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 With a +10, I suppose I can auto-aid ...

Dawnfriend signs. "Maybe we need to check inside the research facility, I guess. Where else could it be?"

Dawnfriend runs over, helping to pull the wounded allies free from the fire.

Free action: Lifeline 4 HP damage from Max

Dawnfriend again draws wounds from his ally, while firing at the remaining alien creature.

Static arc pistol attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Static arc pistol damage(electricity, nonlethal): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Dawnfriend's energy glows again, this time connecting him to Liftt. As the wounds transfer, the glow brightens around Dawnfriend and his wounds begin to seal up.

Free: Lifelink to absorb 4 HP damage from Liftt. Move action: 1 RP for healing channel on self.

Healing Channel(self): 4d8 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 4) = 12
5 HP of damage left on me

He shoots at the red bug.

Static Arc Pistol attack vs. Red's EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Static Arc Pistol damage (electricity, nonlethal): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

A shimmering flame flies from one of Dawnfriend's hand, contacting in an arc to Max. As some of Max's wounds heal, Dawnfriend's body absorbs the damage. "Don't worry!" he calls out, through gritted teeth against the pain as he draws the damage into himself. "I am helping you!"

Free Lifelink for 4 HP healed on Max. Take 4 damage.

He brings his pistol up and shoots at the blue bug.

Static arc attack vs. blue bug EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Static arc damage(electricity, nonlethal): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

A shimmering flame flies from one of Dawnfriend's hand, contacting in an arc to Max. As some of Max's wounds heal, Dawnfriend's body absorbs the damage.

Free Lifelink for 4 HP healed on Max. Take 4 damage.

He brings his pistol up and shoots at the blue bug.

Static arc attack vs. blue bug EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Static arc damage(electricity, nonlethal): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Dawnfriend frowns, looking among his injured friends, but none of whom are so injured that he can heal them yet. He moves over to be nearer others, in case he has to do any healing. As he moves, he pulls up his static arc pistol and fires at the big black bug.

Static Arc pistol attack vs. big black's EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Static Arc pistol damage(electric, nonlethal): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

I have no issue with shifting the map, since the only reason we're so close to the edge is that the map has a non-existent bridge, and we decided to put our actual bridge in the same place. The terrain offers no clear tactical advantages, so wherever we randomly chose to cross could be considered the "center" of the map.

With our to-hit bonuses, I'm not sure that full attack is the best strategy, aside from just fishing for a crit. ;)

"They are close together ... does anyone have grenades? Maybe we can throw them nearby and scare them off." Of course, a more aggressive tactician might find a different use for any grenades the party may have on hand.

"Ouch!" He steps out of the way of the creatures and casts a healing spell.

Move action: Guarded step. Standard Action: cast mystic cure on self

mystic cure heal: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Fortitude save vs ? DC: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Dawnfriend moves over and touches Octavii, a warm glow from his hands helping to alleviate the feeling of sickness.

Cast lesser remove condition on Octavii.

Dawnfriend nods to Liftt. "That makes sense." He activates his environmental seals as well. He runs across the bridge, waving his flashlight around. "Hello? Anyone here?"

Not used to this darkvision, Dawnfriend pulls a flashlight out of his starfinder backpack and begins shining it down into the fissure. "You okay, Rattus? We'll pull you up when we're on the other side, OK? Hey, do you see that buzzing sound? Can you check while you're down there?"

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Dawnfriend says, "Anybody have any cable, maybe with a grappler, so that we can cross this big hole?"

"Hmm... Well, the thing that Datch told us about doesn't look like it's here. On to the next building, then?"

Dawnfriend attempts tp help open the drawer.

Athletics(assist): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14

Dawnfriend nods to George, then to Liftt, and heads in the direction of the office building, holding his battle staff - symbol of Sarenrae displayed at its top - as a walking stick as he moves through the ruins. "Yes, I do not think the crystal statue would be in the campsite. Probably a building makes more sense."
