Gath of Akiton's page

Suddenly flush for the first time in his memory, Gath doesn't change much at all. He continues his tour of Akiton, his ancestral planet, hopefully in the company of Locket, Sen, Uchurtai, and anyone else who wants to come. Along the way he finds and purchases the curve-blade of another 'great shobhad hero' in a second hand market.

After Akiton, Gath returns to Absalom Station and his job in the warehoues.
Whenever he accumulates enough money, he tours another of the Pact Worlds. And he works hard to keep in touch with anyone who will give him contact information and return his occasional message.

And if Uchurtai does make his climb, Gath is more than happy to go along.

" I'm sorry. You should have listened to me." Gath's moment of solemnity, ends abruptly, shattered by the clatter of Uchurtai's fall. Gath tiptoes carefully around the fallen shobhad to face off with Do'Trulo.

"You shouldn't have hurt my friend."

Spiked club (tactical doshko): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 ... damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 (critical -; Analog, unwieldy

The dueling sword is quicker than Gath's spiked club, but the shobhad has a brilliant strategy to compensate. He swings harder.

"Run away ,little one."

doshko, tactical (large): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 ... damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 (critical -; Analog, unwieldy)

Re-introducing yourself with style!

Gath's status after solarian damage: 9/21 SP, 24/24 HP 1/3 RP . 2 first level spells left.

No worries, Zanbabe. I deliberately obscured the message somewhat. Gath's command of language is not optimal, nor even precise. He's also prone to marginally useful exclamations that can be ignored without penalty.

Ref save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Sorry, GMQ.....

Shielded by Locket and Sen, Gath is hardly affected by Tez' pyrotechnics before he charges.

Z, back on Mar 1 , Gath tried to let you know where the barricade climber went. He's Gath so it wasn't reall clear.

"Locket! Uchurtai! Coming through!" Gath rounds the corner and stays against the right hand wall to squeeze past his friends. Then he confronts the ganger sneaking up behind Uchurtai. The club in his lower hands swings in a compact horizontal arc.

doshko, tactical (large): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 ... damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 (critical -; Analog, unwieldy)

"Stay low, Locket!" Gath reloads, leans forward, and fires another round over his friends head at Tezz.

He happens to notice movement behind Uchurtai. "They're sneaking up behind Uchurtai!"

shobhad horizon strikerv Tezz, KAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 ... damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1) + 3 = 6 (critical -; 100' Analog, sniper (500') unwieldy)

Over two weeks since Sen posted. I'll bot them just to try to keep things moving.
"Yikes!" Senkuviene chirps as Tezz Tronin reaches the corner. The shirren spins her board, plasma engine revved to burn them!

Python-Series Hydra Cannon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 ... Damage , E&F: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Sen! Look out!" Gath is alrmed at the sudden appearance of a burning enemy.

Yes, it's KAC. :-(

Gath level his rifle and fires over Locket's head at the enemy shobhad.

shobhad horizon striker, tactical (large): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 ... damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 3 = 10 (critical -; 100' Analog, sniper (500') unwieldy)

You think Uchurtai is the only worthy enemy? Let me introduce you to my little pahtra friend.

"Is that all of them?"

I don't think Gath can see Yellow. Maybe someone closer to the corner can warn Uchurtai.

"Gang thugs like you are not True Warriors. Stay down!" Gath emphasizes his advice with a shot from his rifle. Then he reloads.

shobhad horizon striker, tactical (large): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 ... damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3) + 3 = 8 (critical -; 100' Analog, sniper (500') unwieldy)

Gotta love the light reaction cannon!

Think I've got LOS to blue.

Gath levels his rifle and fires at blue.

shobhad horizon striker, tactical (large): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 ... damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 = 7 (critical -; 100' Analog, sniper (500') unwieldy)

gath's positin is fine with me.

"Okay, Zetara." Please put Gath where you want on the map. He's nothing if not cooperative.

 
Gath won't spend RP now to revocer SP. Status: 13/21 SP, 24/24 HP 1/3 RP . 2 first level spells left.

"Don't be mean!" Gath shouts at the human body. Then he raises his head to look at the ysoki. "You too!"

Gath holds his rifle above his head, out of the fight. He drives the butt of his club into the man's solar plexus.

doshko, tactical (large): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 ... damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 (critical -; Analog, unwieldy)

"Ow! Hey, can I get some help here?"

Gath tries to lift his heirloom rifle out of the human's reach. In doing so its butt swings at the brawler's jaw.

Assuming Gath's not flat-footed, he'll get an AoO on the human's way in due to reach.
Rifle as improvised club: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 5 - 4 = 16 ... damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Gath readies his rifle and club. He glances over to smile at Zetara and Locket, and is caught entirely by surprise when the gang breaches the door.

GMQ, looking back over old posts. Status: 21/21 SP , 24/24 HP 1/3 RP . 2 first level spells left.

"Hey! I'm as disposable as the next barricade!"

I really like the idea of using the gun trap against them. Gath could support it from the middle aisle, then retreat to the reactor room. That protrusion

I like funneling them up the middle. I put two blue boxes where I'd suggest we barricade corridors. We force them to come straight down the corridor to us.

Other ideas?

Gath will Janebok or Sen direct.

Gath will also take a breather. He slumps down on the floor with his back against the wall by the door. Spend an RP to recover stamina. 1 RP left.

HP healing available if anyone wants it.

After a few minutes ne notices what the others are up to and rises to join them. He can't contribute technically, but he makes a good mule.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Gath rubs his ribs where he was struck. "Thanks, Locket! You made it vanish."

He echoes Sen. "Akiton Legends!"

He looks around while his companions discuss technical matters, and contemplates their latest foe.

Know mysticism, did we ever figure out what it was: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Unfortunately Gath's club-flavored doshko is unwieldy. No AoO for him.

Gath watches the creature fly overhead. He spins to keep it in sight, and pursues it, pulling his club from his pack, and brushing past Sen. It stops to cast its spell, and with Locket's warning, Gath knows he must attack right away.

Move as shown. Draw weapon as part of movement.

doshko, tactical (large): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 ... damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 (critical -; Analog, unwieldy)

Janebok finishes casting baleful polymorph this round.

Ouch! Wish I could take an AoO .

Yeah. I missed the guarded step. I think this will be a great use of the polymorph.

Sighting down the barrel, Gath shuffles his way closer. At nearly point blank range, he pulls the trigger again.

shobhad horizon striker, tactical v KAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 ... damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2 (critical -; 100' Analog, sniper (500') unwieldy)

Next round, I'm going melee.

Hey, GMQ, the BBEM is still 10' from Locket. Does it have reach?

Gath clears the magazine and reloads. Then he raises his rifle for another shot....

shobhad horizon striker, tactical v KAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 ... damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2 (critical -; 100' Analog, sniper (500') unwieldy)

Thought for sure Uchurtai was going to smash it with those rolls.

"Well struck, son of Ka!"

Gath follows Locket until he can line up another shot. The big sniper rifle barks again.

Move as shown.
shobhad horizon striker, tactical v KAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22 ... damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5 (critical -; 100' Analog, sniper (500') unwieldy)

crit damage: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Gath hurries up behind Zetara and Sen so that he can fire over their heads.

shobhad horizon striker, tactical v KAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 ... damage: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6 (critical -; 100' Analog, sniper (500') unwieldy)

"I bet that's what killed them over there, Locket."

"I had a pet squox once. My brother ate it."

Gath thanks Zetara, then steps into the big lab and fans out to the left. What do you think killed them?"

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Gath looks over the heads of the party members in the (not so) clean room.

"What's going on?"

"Oh, those ambidexters. Wasn't he the only one left, though?"

"There might be more."

Gath of Akiton wrote:

"Maybe the gangsters beating on Riddle?"

"Who?"

"The ysoki gunslinger's gang."

The True Warriors, about two thirds of the way down the linked page.

"Maybe the gangsters beating on Riddle?"

Willing to roll down 6 SP. No rest required, but if anyone needs it, let's rest.

Gath accepts Zetara's offer eagerly, and it would be insulting not to try mom, or dad's, lunches.

And real Akitonian dried meat is a delicacy that can't be refused. "It's just like my grand-dam's."

Most of it goes into his mouth and into his stomach, but a bit winds up in a pool of drool on the floor.

Oh the travails of hugely oversized lower canines.

Gath slumps against the wall. " Did anyone bring food?"

I won't spend any RP, but I'm fine with a 10 minute rest whatever Vari-13 says.

"That's okay, Zetara. That fight was really weird. Is everyone okay now?"

Confusion, round2: 1d100 ⇒ 1 Act normally.

Gath shakes his head, and rubs his jaw. He shambles forward and tries to help the injured Uchurtai.

Mystic cure: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

GMQ, a while back I rolled 15 on a mysticism check to ID these things. What'd I get?

will save v Dc 11: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 65

"Zetara! What are you doing? I'll stop you!" Gath swings his rifle toward the android, snags it on one of his lower hand and pivots the rifle butt into his own face.

self-inflicted damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

1–25 Act normally.
26–50 Do nothing but babble incoherently.
