“Dusty” Rhodes's page

Cool, thanks for running cmlobue!

Saw this after I posted. I beat the first DC but not the other two. I'm down to jump to the end if we hit all the exciting stuff already.

Dusty takes a deep breath, then sets to work.

Gonna bot some aid checks from Moxie, given these stupid high DCs.

Moxie aid: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Computers (power down southeast grid; aid): 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 17 + 2 = 37

Moxie aid: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Computers (power down southwest grid; aid): 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 17 + 2 = 29

Moxie aid: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Computers (disarm laser turrets; aid): 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 17 + 2 = 31

Dusty cracks his knuckles. "Sure, let me take a crack at it." He tries to navigate the terminal interface.

Computers (1 aid): 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 17 + 2 = 21 Sigh

Dusty grimaces. "Probably Datch. Wouldn't be the first time that rat used big money to screw with the Society."

Dusty takes a gander at the comm unit, then sets to work trying to disarm the laser trap.

Computers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23
Engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

Dusty uses his scanning kit to sweep the corpse.

Perception (visual, scanning kit): 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 2 + 4 = 29

Forgive my radio silence, I’m moving to a new apartment. I’m almost settled in and will be back soon, but bot me if necessary.

Dusty grimaces at the goop. "Thanks Oddman. One to go, right?

Dusty helps Moxie look around (automatic assists on all her Perception checks).

"Anyone wanna take a dip with this one? The last one liked its privacy if I recall."

Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 Naturally

Dusty takes a tumble as the tekenki lurches about, standing to take a less accurate shot.

Move stand, standard attack vs blue.

Attack vs KAC (get 'em): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 2 = 24
Damage (P, magic): 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 6) + 4 = 11

Reflex DC 20: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Following Moxie's tactics, Dusty tumbles with the jolting tekenki. "Looks like you're destined for two left feet, bucko!" He takes a shot at the exposed leg.

Full-action trick attack vs red.

Attack vs KAC (trick vs CR 12 or lower = flat-footed, get 'em): 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 18
Damage (P, magic, trick, get 'em): 2d6 + 4 + 4d8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 4 + (5, 1, 7, 7) + 2 = 31

Dusty similarly tumbles away from the creature, taking a shot at it as he lands.

Full-action trick attack vs red.

Attack vs KAC (trick vs CR 12 or lower = flat-footed, get 'em): 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 28
Damage (P, magic, trick): 2d6 + 4 + 4d8 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 + (4, 8, 7, 3) = 30

Dusty takes the lead alongside Moxie, keeping eyes peeled for additional traps.

Perception (scanner kit): 1d20 + 16 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 16 + 4 = 23

Is there any place we haven’t looked before we leave? We have what we came for, no?

Dusty hustles over to the trap and attempts to deactivate it.

Engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31

Back!

Dusty grimaces as Oddman emerges from the brain vat. "Anything fun? If not, shall we try to get out of here? Or are we missing anything?"

Traveling to Atlanta tomorrow for a gig, posting might be slow until Monday.

Dusty makes a face and watches what happens to Azara and Moxie.

Dusty makes a face. "So who wants to go in the...organ...juice?"

I mean, I’m an operative and I’m still struggling.

Perception (visual): 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 2 = 26

Dusty’s face sours at the weird tank, but he doesn’t notice anything if interest. ”Anyone know what this is?”

Before moving on, Dusty goes behind the electrical device to look around.

Specifically interested in the far object, circled in green.

Computers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

Automatic aid another on Medicine.

Dusty pulls out their person comms and pokes around. "...yuck. These look like our guys, though. Look at all this Lorespire stuff. Their boss also sent them complimentary fruit baskets. Typical Datch."

Dusty darts in the other direction, clears to another set of cover, and fires again.

Full action trick attack, auto trick CR 12.

Attack vs KAC (flat-footed): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 2 = 26
Damage (P, trick): 2d6 + 4 + 4d8 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 + (5, 3, 5, 6) = 31

10 rounds remaining.

Dusty darts past the wall for some cover and takes a shot at the ooze.

Full action trick attack, auto trick CR 12.

Attack vs KAC (flat-footed): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 = 16
Damage (P, trick): 2d6 + 4 + 4d8 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 + (8, 6, 3, 8) = 31

11 rounds remaining.

Crazy day today, might not get to post until tomorrow.

Life Science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Dusty ducks and rolls as the ooze starts moving. "I don't think it's friendly!" He tumbles and fires a pistol shot.

Full action trick attack, auto-trick CR 12 or less.

Attack vs. KAC (flat-footed): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 2 = 28
Damage (P, magic, trick): 2d6 + 4 + 4d8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 + (5, 4, 5, 5) = 29 plus flat-footed for 1 round

Just for my own bookkeeping: -3 rounds, promo reroll used

Dusty grabs item, then returns to his allies.

Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Promotional Reroll (3 novas): 1d20 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 13 + 3 = 26

If you are going into the grid, you need to make a Reflex save to avoid getting hit. Dusty's size will reduce the DC.

Rats, thougth little guys got a pass.

Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20 Geez, two lousy Reflex rolls for the operative in immediate succession. X-P

Dusty also slides between the laser grids with ease, grateful for his small frame. He also scours the area for traps with his scanning kit, then tries to access the computer.

Perception (scanner, visual): 1d20 + 16 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 4 + 2 = 38
Computers: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

Rest for me too, thanks.

Dusty looks to the laser grids as he catches his breath. ”Shall we start there?”

Dusty waits for the opportune moment. "Buckle up, folks!" He slams the eject button and launches the party, bracing to tuck and roll on impact.

Engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32
Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 Oof

Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Dusty flows with the seismic shifts like a reed in a storm. "Just a little closer you big, beautiful beasty..."

Dusty wipes his brow as Bugface fires up the beacon. "Here we go, best two out of three!"

Automatic assist.

Dusty gets in the gears too.

Automatic aid. The dicebot hates you, but you have the highest modifier, so I guess the beatings will continue until morale improves.

Dusty wipes sweat from his brow. "No worries, we got two more to try."

Dusty similarly pitches in for the last hurrah.

Automatic assist.

Dusty assists Bugface as best he can.

Automatic assist on Computers.

Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

I can automatically aid Bugface, but that’s still a long shot if 36 didn’t do the trick. He’d need to get another natural 19 or 20 with the aid.

Any idea of the DC? Dusty has hit 28 already.

Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Dusty takes a moment to reload the fired rounds in his semi-auto, then approaches the nearest beacon and tries to activate it.

Computers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

Dusty rounds the rocky terrain and sprints a short way up the steep incline, firing another bullet at the monster.

Full action trick attack (move 50 feet with some climb speed, then shoot with semi-auto). Specialization Skill Mastery allows him to automatically trick the monster is CR 12 or lower using Acrobatics.

Attack vs KAC (wounding advanced semi-auto pistol, get ‘em, flat-footed if CR 12 or lower): 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 33
Damage (piercing, magic, trick): 2d6 + 4 + 4d8 ⇒ (6, 6) + 4 + (8, 3, 3, 2) = 32 9 rounds remaining

Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Dusty darts to the east to get a better angle, tuck and rolling under another coral bank while firing another shot.

Full action trick attack (move 50 feet, then shoot with semi-auto). Specialization Skill Mastery allows him to automatically trick the monster is CR 12 or lower using Acrobatics.

Attack vs KAC (wounding advanced semi-auto pistol, get ‘em, flat-footed if CR 12 or lower): 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 34
Damage (piercing, magic, trick): 2d6 + 4 + 4d8 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 + (8, 1, 6, 6) = 35 10 rounds remaining

Dusty watches Bugface's shot whizz by the monster while he clambers closer along the coral, whipping out his pistol and taking a shot while swinging upside down from a branch of coral.

Full action trick attack (climb 20 feet closer while drawing small arm, then shot with semi-auto). Specialization Skill Mastery allows him to automatically trick the monster is CR 12 or lower using Acrobatics.

Attack vs KAC (wounding advanced semi-auto pistol, flat-footed if CR 12 or lower): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 2 = 30
Damage (piercing, magic, trick): 2d6 + 4 + 4d8 ⇒ (2, 5) + 4 + (1, 1, 6, 8) = 27 11 rounds remaining

Reflex save (if needed): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Reflex DC 22: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

The sharp coral is little impediment to the nimble halfling.

Dusty, now fully suited in the new armor and armed with the incapacitator melee weapon, hops off the vehicle and heads toward the nearest beacon—the northernmost one. He scours the reef for hazards using his scanning kit before making his way up to it.

Perception (scanning kit): 1d20 + 16 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 4 = 27

30-foot climb speed.

Computers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24
