Doctor Killik's page

Killik beams, This is certainly more my cup of tea, or whatever your preferred hot beverage might be. I am happy to work our way down the list. Surely we have plenty of time and I am sure that nothing will disturb us during such an important meeting.

Killik heads off to tinker with the wards. As he checks them over he looks to see if they would detect rogue droids attacking the meeting. He remains a little concerned that no-one seems to be looking into the issue, even on Akion, miserable dust ball that it is, droids dont go randomly attacking people.

Religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Killik blushes, his wings becoming even more iridescent. Yes, of course, let us start with the First Seeker he mumbles.

Killik flutters down to one of the rocks, My my, I did not expect that. I think my time at the practice range is paying off. I wonder what these things are doing here and who left them here. We should probably look for clues but first...

His voice trails off and he begins to hum in time with the vibrations of the planet, pushing gently at Cyprium who finds his light injury healed.

Transfer vitality for 2HP and then refocus to refill his pool.

With the drone now in plain sight Killik flies forward and fires off a dart at it.

Ranged att: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4 acid

◆ Fly
◆ Strike
◆ Reload

Coming out of delay.

Killik flies forward and upwards to get a better chance of spotting the drone.

Fly up and forward with all actions, ending 10' in the air.

Killik waits again, ready to blast the remaining drone if it appears.

Where did the damn thing go!

Delay. I will come out of delay and launch another 3 action force barrage once it is visible. However, I will not come out of delay until after the rest of the group in case they dispatch it and save me a spell slot.

Yep, that is a 1E thing.

Killik remains in delay, he will come out as soon as he can see one of the drones and force barrage it.

Killik pops up and launches a series of bright blue magical insects at the revealed drone.

Cast 3 action force barrage

Damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 2) + 3 = 7 force

In which case Killik delays

Quick rules question. Force Barrage says that it always hits. Does it ignore the miss chance of hidden or concealed or not? Opinions vary and we have no official answer.

Killik peers up ahead. Hey, what are they? Are these things supposed to be here? They dont look too friendly.

He draws his rifle and flutters over to a nearby rock formation, ducking behind it.

◆ Draw weapon
◆ Move
◆ Take cover

Doctor Killik engages in some percussive engineering with the vehicles sensors.

Survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Doctor Killik prods at the technological remnants they find with a stick. Such things I am afraid are rather beyond me, never did have much interest in tinkering with technology he says before heading back to the vehicles.

Starting it up he again starts to scan the region for unusual features.

Survival: 1d2 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

However, they appear to be on the blink, I think the sandstorm has affected my sensor array, these results make literally no sense. Apparently it thinks we are on Eox.

Killik uses the dv's sensors to scan the area, looking for likely shelter.

Survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Hero point reroll

Survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Killik pauses to study Shadirs findings.

Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Hmm, I think there may be something deeper at work here. Wait a moment.

West is fine

Killik keeps a careful eye on the vehicles sensors as he pilots it across the inhospitable terrain.

Survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Killik smiles weakly at Shadir, Yes, outside, again. But nevermind, it is good to see you again. My new office if very fine and I have managed to instal a new upgrade so I dont have to worry about not having a flashlight again he says, tapping his darkvision visor. However, I very much hope we will be back before it gets dark and not have to venture into some dank cave or part of the crashed vessel. That was very unpleasant last time.

Society: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Looking over the vehicles he says, I can probably take one.

Doctor Killik flutters into the briefing room. He is a delicate, nervous looking winged shirren with multicoloured butterfly like wings.

Sorry to be late, last minute patient to see. He listens to the briefing, Oh no, not more trekking around outside. Surely this sort of thing can be done much more safely by automated drones! My skills are far more useful at the summit. Perhaps I can stay here... he says as his voice falters and he accepts the inevitable trip into the horribly hostile wilderness of Akiton.

I am still here. I am away that weekend but should be back home on December 1st.

I am still here.

Killiks profile is now up to date but I dont seem to be able to edit the Slide to add a token.

I wont be ready to start with Killik until Monday next week so mid week works fine for me. I am playing at Paizocon EU Online this weekend and he is in a couple of games. He will be level 2 when he starts this.

Hope Killik appreciates me going off script for that final interaction...

Once Gameday wraps up a bit, I am considering running the next in the Invasion's Edge series. If any of you would be interested, let me know, and I'll save you a spot.

Take care!

I absolutely do. Had a blast with this one, very much enjoyed it. Thank you all for putting up with Killk's silliness. I would definitively be interested in the next part.

Once getting your report of events, Zizenzi gets ready to escort each of you to your quarters. As they are about to do so, a junior Starfinder runs over with a datapad. Zizenzi looks it over and then turns to Killik. "Apologies, Doctor Killik! It seems that you were supposed to be assigned to a personal office upon arrival, rather than being given field work. Everything has been so confusing, with the communication issues. Here, let me show you to your office. It's right in the sickbay ..."

Killi boggles at Zizenzi, You mean I didnt need to go out there. I nearly DIED! Imagine the loss to the medical community! Still, I think I did manage to help. I suppose some team of recruits might benefit from my wise advice in the future. The distant future maybe...

Killiks eyes flicker open and he groans. What hit me? he mumbles. I knew coming here was a bad idea.

He feels the energy of the universe flowing through him and pushes, hard, at Big Red. Closing his eyes he quickly mutters the word to the first spell he ever mastered, sending more healing energy into the big brute.

◆ Transfer vitality, giving Big Red 10HP
◆◆ Cast Heal restoring 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 to Big Red

Life science lore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Quick question, if the enemy is grabbing me with its jaws then I dont think it can also attack me with the same jaws as they are occupied grabbing me.

Killik feels the energy of the universe flowing through him and his companions. He envisages it as a pale blue light which binds them together, flowing through all living things. With a thought he pushes more of it towards Shadir, closing his wounds.

These things are horrid he shouts as he quickly conjures a spinning disc of angry red force to bounce off the two of them.

◆ Transfer Vitality giving Shadir 8HP back.
◆◆ Cast Ricochet

2d4 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 slashing damage to both, DC17 basic reflex save.

Arrrrgh shouts Killik, They have no minds!

With one of the creatures now close Killik sends a beam of psychic energy straight at it. He then quickly brings up his fancy new shield with a schwoom noise as it unfolds.

◆◆ Cast Eldritch Lance
◆ Raise Shield (AC20)

Spell attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10 mental

Killik gives vent to a telepathic screech of panic!

Delay until after Blue in the hope it comes into range.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Killik shudders as the pulse runs through him. Well, that was odd.

Looks like Starfinder did deal with the critical immunity thing as well.

Immunity

Killik will indeed take a bit of a rest while the others search.

Killik looks over the two spell amps. Well, anyone can use either of these but the stimulant one isnt any use to the owner. I could easily inject it into someone else to give them the benefit if necessary. Jump can always help, especially for those of you who are rather ground bound.

Sigh, cellular stimulant gives you quickened for 1 round but you only gain the extra action at the start of your turn so it has to be administered by someone else to do anything.

Doctor Killik wrote:

In PF2E immunity to critical hits just gives immunity to the doubled damage, not anything else. No idea if Starfinder is the same.

Thanks for that clarification.

Doctor Killik wrote:

For healing Killik can automatically restore 10HP every 10 minutes with Vitality Network as well as another 1d6 to everyone with his focus spell.

Can you clarify the last point, Killik? Mystic has a Vitality Network, but it only regains points during combat. Where does the replenishing every 10 minutes come in? I don't see that described anywhere. My 2701 is a Mystic, so I'm still trying to learn the mechanics on that one myself.

Vitality Network refills to full when you refocus.

Life-and-death situations help strengthen your bonds with your allies. At the start of each turn in combat, when you regain actions, your vitality network regains 4 Hit Points; if you're master in spell DC, it regains 6 Hit Points instead; if you're legendary, it regains 8 Hit Points. When you Refocus, your vitality network regains all its Hit Points.

In PF2E immunity to critical hits just gives immunity to the doubled damage, not anything else. No idea if Starfinder is the same.

Immunity

With the battle done Killik sits down heavily on some wreckage. Well, they were horrible he says, and definitely not edible!

For healing Killik can automatically restore 10HP every 10 minutes with Vitality Network as well as another 1d6 to everyone with his focus spell.

Infusion Healing: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Everyone will be back to full after 10 minutes

With its target dispatched Killik allows his wisp to fade away. Trying to press down on his panic he focuses on the energy that ties the group together. Sensing that Big Bite is hurting a bit he pushes at him, soothing his wounds. He then sends a pulsing orb of blue light at the two oozes.

◆ Transfer Vitality, giving Big Bite 6HP back.
◆◆ Cast Ricochet on blue and black. I am unsure if Black is visible to me so here is a miss chance.

DC11 flat check?: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Bludgeoning Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5
DC17 Reflex save

Killik flutters into the room to see what is going on. Oh my, oh my, these dont look right at all.

He quickly casts a spell and a glowing ball of light springs into being above the green ooze.

◆ Stride
◆◆ Cast Wisp Ally on Green ooze. The wisp sheds bright light in a 10' radius and may make the ooze off guard.

Oh no, how many horrible monsters are we going to have to deal with! What's going on!

Killik delays until he can see something or an ally is injured. Also yes on flashlight and shield. Rifle is currently holstered.

Killik pokes around in the rubble and plays with the retractable shield. I could probably make use of this but if someone else wants it thats fine too. I say we check out the nearest rooms first, we dont want to leave anything horrid behind us.

All of them seem as terrible as each other mutters Killik.

Killik hangs around near the doorway while the spills are covered up. The idea of heading off into the darkness on his own is, frankly, appalling.

As they descend into the darkness Killik holsters his rifle and pulls out a flashlight. I hate the dark, anything could be lurking down here he mutters.

Arriving at the smelly chamber he looks around.

Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

We can cover these spills using the soil from above. It will take a bit of time but its probably worth doing. Whoever does it will be exposed to those fumes though.

Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Medicine: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Killik looks rather aghast at the idea of leaving the base in the middle of the afternoon. But what if we get lost, we could be trapped out there in the wilderness with nothing but a basic tent to keep away the horrors. Oh, why did I ever join this mad society. I just wanted a nice office with a comfy chair to see my patients...

He gradually subsides into quiet muttering, casting suspicious gazes at every rock, shrub or shifting shadow they meet along their way.

Finding the strange fish things sets him off again. See, more terrifying monsters. What sane planet has air breathing fish that can swim through the ground! Look, someone has experimented on these things as well to make them even more dangerous. I dont like the look of this at all.

The doctor settles down, See, I told you this place was full of horrible monsters. Best move I ever made getting off this dust rock.

He slumps down onto a nearby rock and examines the sky.

Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

The storm is curious, I wonder what caused it.

Kilik sends out waves of psychic distress at the appearance of the creatures, See! I told you this place was full of monsters. Oh my, oh my, what to do, what to do!

He quickly gets control of himself, Apologies friends, apologies. Here, let me help!

He hovers for a moment, drawing on his inner reserves of power and energy flows from him to Big Bite. No more lying down on the job friend.

With a gesture he conjures a shimmering sphere of blue energy around himself and then flutters quickly down to the ground to provide Shadir with a flank.

◆ Transfer vitality giving Big Bite 9HP
◆ Cast Shield
◆ Fly

Killik flies forward into the storm and tries to disperse the magical energies of the storm.

Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
