"I think after the discussions with MP-8....Naiaj will need a drink....probably large, with lots of alcohol..."

Joe sees that maybe there might be more issues than she wants to deal with....and hears Garcon offering a drink. "Maybe it is best we all leave the relic and the artifacts we retrieved with Naiaj and go get a drink...."

Joe comes into the Starscape Chamber, carrying a huge pack with items the group has collected from the Starfinders personal belonging. "Naiaj, do we have records on who might be next of kin? We really should get these items back to the families...even if we are talking great-great-x family members...."

"Yeah...maybe there would be a reason for somebody to come back to this ol' ship. But maybe we should turn off the auto-targeting of the weapons at least?"

Joe wanders around, collecting any items that might be considered personal from the crew...the violin definitely, but anything else...a scrap book, pictures, etc. She hopes that she can find from the Starfinders if any of the crew's family (great-great-how many greats nieces or nephews) is still alive...they might have stories about their great-x-uncle/aunt/pibling.....

"Think it is worth setting the engine--what is left of it--to go critical after 10 hours or so? Or maybe we should just make certain the engines and weapons are 100% offline and just let this ghost ship stay? I don't know which would be better for the memory of this ship...."

Once Joe carefully packs the violin back into the case, and puts the other items she found in a nice little pile, she wanders to the bridge.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Looking at the captain chair, she remembers back to one of the horrible Vesk romance novels she read while in the Vesk navy. Apparently the enemy--the evil Hoomans--had cleverly hidden an item in the captains chair. Apparently the Hoomans liked little buttons installed on the bottom of the captains armrest. Joe looks under--and low and behold--finds a small button. Depressing it, she senses a vibration in the chair.

"Umm...guys. I don't know if they really told us EXACTLY what the relic is, but if I had to guess...a cleverly hidden panel in the captains chair would likely be where it might be....though this weird sphere almost the size of Blinky's head might be able to be considered one....SHESH....I think we need Blinky to get it out...it is HEAVY."

Joe tries her best to get it out of the storage space.....but gives up and waits for Blinky.

Joe does a once over on her friends...seeing that Blinky and Elwin take a quick breather. Joe does the same...just so she can get her chemistry kit out to make more biohacks and medicinals if needed.

Will take 10 and 1 RP off to heal my SP and get all my biohacks and medicinals
*****

As the group wanders around, Joe looks through the crates and finds some interesting items. Over comms, "Did one of the crew play the violin? If so I found it...and it looks like in decent condition....though I am not an expert on it. Also found a game and somebodies shiny crystal....don't think any of us are solarians though."

Joe moves forward to get an eye on Blinky. She shoots another booster into Blinky to make certain that they have the best AC possible.

Shooting for +1 AC for Blinky....I don't think they need more move.

Joe sees how easily this man was able to slip the capture pole...so decides to use it for it's other purpose....to inject people with sedatives.

She moves back down, keeping out of both the tieflings and the humans reach and sticks the human with the sharp end of the pointy stick....
[b]"Stand still already!!!![/dice]

Capture Pole, Enforcement-class (KAC): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage (piercing): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Sedative (tier 1 (Non Lethal)): 1d4 ⇒ 4

Fixed....weapon has reach, so I would have moved to the door...it would have allowed the tiefling (if they had a melee weapon) an AoO when I did that.

tier 1 sedatives medicinals....which I don't think works on a grapple at all...which personally the Capture poles are weird....you can either attack with it and do damage (and get the injection with it), or grapple with it and get neither...at least it is how I read grapple...

I will wait to see which way he runs, as Joe will likely attempt to catch him again...gotta catch them all!!!

Reflex Save (DC16): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Joe keeps an eye on Blinky to make certain he is fine...and doesn't notice the tiefling sneaking out....so is completely unprepared for the gout of flame hitting her....

"Ouch, ouch...mean lady!"

Joe sees the rakish man run right next to her...so she pulls out her capture pole and uses it to keep the man pinned. Hoping she can use the sedative in the grappler sometime.....

"Stand still you! Blinky wants to have a word with you....hope you can bear their stare!"

Capture Pole to Grapple (So KAC+8?): 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 2 + 2 = 28 Bonuses +5 is for my total BAB, +2 for Grapple Weapon, +2 because Skitters are the best grapplers!

(Edit)....wow....MAYBE I should really think on getting Improved maneuver grapple so I can get another +2....been sitting on that idea for so long....I think I am going to be doing that.....

Joe just comes to her senses when another grenade explodes right outside the door she is near....she sees that Ayoka seems to be almost pushed back through the door, and Elwin stumble in almost right after. Quickly thinking on getting one or both a jab to help with the disorienting effect of the earlier grenade....she jabs her syringe stick at Elwin, and then dashes out to see if there is anybody else she might have to heal.

Elwin, you are no longer affected by the current staggered, and can ignore staggered and confused for the next 5 rounds.

Seeing Blinky armed to bear at another apparently enemy, and Garcon standing there with their pistol drawn and aimed at the person...the trailing smoke from the pneumatics that the needler uses to fire its darts. Joe gives Garcon a thumbs up as she dashes back towards the reactor...trying to give room incase ANYMORE grenades get tossed at them.

The MOST use I have had out of Nerochemistry field of study EVER....since I am apparently never around a Will Save caster....that -2 to Will saves on my inhibitor is pretty awesome for those....

Joe shakes her head....just now realizing that this is a neurochemical effect that the grenade does to the brain....she quickly pokes herself with her syringe stick to give her a biohack.

Neurochemist booster biohack special injection allows the recipient to ignore confused and staggered for the duration of the injection, though the negative effect still counts down. So effectively can ignore the confused/staggered condition for 5 rounds.

The quick jab, and the unbalanced condition seems to recede....allowing Joe to fully understand what is happening....

Over comms, "How did the bear get here....they don't seem to be the smartest animal cracker in the box....and we didn't see a ship...unless maybe it was somewhere in all the debris in the field surrounding this ship."

She definitely watches the groups six....worried somebody might be sneaking up on them from behind. It is something that she could think on doing with a bear...being the distraction....

2 boosters used out of 6

Joe stumbles forward....the grenade seeming to have really disoriented her ability to focus and balance....though she does keep turning her head to the back, trying to keep an eye out for anybody trying to sneak up on them....she feels the bear (grizzly, not the koala) might be leading them into a trap....maybe a 'bear' trap.....

She giggles slightly at the thought of a bear trap made by a uplifted bear.....though she quickly tries to un-befuddle her brain....she realizes these tangent thoughts are the befuddlement of her brain...it almost feels like her brain is covered in honey...which bears like....she remembers a story about a yellow bear named Booh, or something like that.....

Staggered, so just move forward 30 ft.....man, that was a thrilling round ;-)

Joe reads off the jokes....and is actually impressed on a few. "They didn't get the one about the two guys that walk into a bar...the first one asked for H2O, and the bartender served him. The 2nd guy went up and asked for H2O too, so the bartender served that. He tossed it down and promptly died....."

Reflex DC 14: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Paying attention to the items on the benchtop and the jokes, Joe doesn't even notice the grenade as it gets tossed.....effecting staggering her.

She barely turns around to see the giant koala run towards the grizzly. Joe thinks for a moment about a kaiju movie she watched....but she 'bearly' keeps her focus and fires a dart at Blinky...hopefully helping....

Blinky get +1 to AC for the next 5 rounds....hope that helps!

Joe hears the words"chem lab" from Garcon and mentally does a face palm. She hurries over to keep the other skitter out of trouble.

Perception for hazards: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

If somebody can move me next to Garcon...sorry phone can't access slides

Forgot to say, Joe has IR sensors so can see in the dark. In her hands are: Custom Microlab (bottom right), syringe stick (bottom left), needler pistol (middle right), nothing (middle left), caustolance jet (upper right and left).

Joe keeps a watch on the 2 engineers while also keeping an eye out for anything strange....weird that even after all this time there isn't any bodies around....

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

I figure with the 2 engineers working on the engine, and the elf working on trying to get power...and Garcon just trying to help us with drink order, Joe will just stand back and watch everybodies backs....she almost wishes that Skittermanders would have 6 eyes to go with their six arms....

Joe nods as the rest of the group is ready to head to the ship. She follows along, keeping an eye out for anything unusual.

****

Once at the ship, Joe lets Blinky and Elwin head forward, as Garcon goes to look to see if the ship actually had an atmosphere...realizing that Garcon is seeingif opening a door would cause the air inside to explode outwards to fill the 'vacuum'.....though looking at the ship, Joe doesn't think there is enough atmosphere to 'explode' a cricket...let alone doing any damage to this crew.

Perception to keep an eye out: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Once again...sub ten....sigh. I feel Roll20 is following me here....

"Three arms and legs...hmm...couldn't that be for a Quorlu? Hmm...I met one of those rock creatures....I would think their internal heat might do damage to those fine quality dresses."

Joe nods at Garcon, "That is what I think too.....though I have heard they stopped using the polyphonic oozes in almost all bars...apparently those things can be dangerous to things like glass, or your enamel of your teeth....heard of a few lawsuits happening in Absalom Station over some that were used as amplifiers for some peoples guitars and drums...."

Joe smiles at the double facepalm."That is okay....oftentimes we forget that the lock itself might be hard to open, but maybe the hinges are easier to manipulate. I bet you just looked at the big complex lock and couldn't wait to try to see how complex that lock could be. One thing the Vesks taught me...oftentimes it is easier to find the simpler solution. Though for them it would have been using a doshko on the top of the box...."

Joe will do any treatment of deadly wounds on Blinky then Elwin.

Medicine treat deadly wounds (DC25) on Blinky: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
Joe gets out the hello Vesk bandaids and applies them to Blinky.
Whee...you get your lvl + my INT mod (+5)...more than you need!
Medicine treat deadly wounds (DC25) on Elwin: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Joe tries to find a hello Vesk, or even the Rainbow Skitter bandaid to help Elwin, but realizes that they only got slight bruising....

Sorry Elwin....

Joe will go look at the box Ayoka is puttering around with.

Engineering: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Joe taps on the back where the hinges are...and makes it look easy to get the box open. She hands it back to Ayoka so that she can see what is inside first.

Using her height advantage to get a battlefield command view, she sees that Blinky is definitely not in great condition.

"Gacon, if you have any serums, use them on Blinky...otherwise grab one from my hip, the slightly glowing green ones. Don't ask why they are glowing green...I made them that way so that Buddy wouldn't accidentally drink them thinking they were Fizzypop....they are serums of healing."

Doing what she is suggestion Garcon does, she grabs a green vial, takes 1 hand off of the ledge to load it into the needler pistols she draws, and fires into Blinky's large bear back.....

Mk1 serum of healing: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Blech...3 HP back...sorry best I can do this round Blinky....

Joe keeps her feet and 2 hands holding the wall (?), or is it now the floor?...either way, she holds on, and holding her syringe stick to help stabilize her, she pulls her cuastolance off her back and aims at the last cuttlefish.

Caustolance, Liquidator (trailblazing): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Damage Acid: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"So umm...they basically like fire...so fire weapons like laser and plasma is iffy at best to use against them. Otherwise, they likely can do some kind of fire stuff with their melee attacks...and likely shoot fire as a ranged attack. Umm....that is really all I can determine. But myself or Garcon 'MIGHT' be able to make it more vulnerable to fire if people really need it to be able to be hurt by fire...maybe"

One of the less used--but IMO an important one--biohack is the reduction of DR or Resistance by 5. If people need fire weapons to work--and it doesn't have full out immunity to fire (which honestly I don't think they do, but I can't remember and won't use GM knowledge)--we might be able to allow the weapons to do some damage....

Keeping 2 hands on the wall and one holding her syringe stick of stabilizing, she swings the syringe stick at Elwin, while trying with her last 2 hands to figure out what these weird space cuttlefish are...

Standard action to hit Elwin with a 5 round booster where they can get a +2 to their skill checks...hope that helps with staying on-kilter. Move action to take 20 on what these space cuttlefish are

Life Science take 20: 20 + 13 = 33

Info Joe almost always looks for...defenses (mainly resistance/DR), then offensive abilities...if extra questions after that....GM's choice...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17
If I could have drawn my syringe stick as part of that 'move action' to climb the wall...I would have gotten +4 because of the stabilizing fusion on it which would have given me +4 to avoid off-kilter condition....your call

Joe almost hears the mental 'huh' from Blinky as they turn and see something.

Joe...being next to a wall....feels it is probably best to detach and not be a piece of candy on a string.

She reaches out with 2 of her hand sto grab the wall...while a 3rd hand detaches themselves. She then uses 4 of her hands to clime to the top of the wall.
Making an assumption with a big bear that the candy string was like 3' off the 'floor' at this point...so less than a guarded step to pull themselves up on the top of the wall.

Move action to detach from the candy string, move action to pull ontop of the wall....will likely anchor myself here until people come around to get me....

Joe will offer whomever is going to be the anchor to give them a quick boost too.

I can give it for 5 rounds, a +2 to skill checks.

Mop formation looks....messy. And too prone for us to tangle ourselves up. I vote for candy string...with whomever is the 2nd best at acrobatics/athletics at the end of the string...just incase the bear has problems.

I think what Blinky is suggesting is a decent course of action....even with my configurable Zero G clothing I think I get a +5 or +6 on these checks....

Seeing that there are all the people at the science officer station, and that a large koala is 'bear'ing the engineering station, Joe hops into the captains chair.

"Szama I don't want to be a back seat driver, but you are doing awesome, just be careful with the port side, I think there might be a weird obstruction sticking out that I can vaguely see....and mind that weird technicolor worm coming out of the starboard side!!!! Oh wait....never mind...it was a gummy worm that I lost in my fur when I was tossing them in the air to eat them...."

Captain to aid (DC 15??): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Joe picks up a few more UPB's to use to make medicinals and serums....though without Buddy AND Mujina, she is not certain who she will be dosing with all the feel good medications.

When they get to the destination, Joe is at the bridge of the ship...she wants to see what is going to make their lives more interesting.

Seeing the problems....Joe hops into a secondary science officer seat, hoping she can help with figuring out how to get rid of the first problem!

Blast Through
Computers: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Slightly sighing in relief at that...she sees that the plates of planar matter are shifting unpredictably to her eyes...so she uses the computers to run some algorithm to see if they can help Szama.

Shifting Plates

Computers: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

2 Sub 10 rolls.....one barely made it...shesh....yeah....good ol' PbP RNG is going to hurt me.

Gulping at the two options....a cyclonic furnace, or trying to thread the needle with a starship....Joe thinks quickly...and realizes that we don't have to pay for dings and nicks on the ship. "Thread the needle....we can lose a little paint!"

"Well...that was....odd. Glad we got the information...but I much prefer finding it in a book or a computer. Mental 'dreams' seem to be a little too intense. Just think on if you get a dream on somebody falling off a cliff and hitting the ground. I am certain we all have had our 'normal' dreams...but that is when we sleep....think of the Dreamer's dream doing something like that to you...."

"Garcon, I think those are kept on datapads, or on other ship computers, to send when you get close to the ship. Very few people could remember a 32 to 64 digit code. Most sentients have problems remembering their 8 to 12 character passwords...."

Joe walks into the room with the dreamer...always wanted to be here, and to get a reading on the dream prophet. She walks in marveling at the sight. Seeing Kaeri she smiles and waves with her upper hand, while her lower is definitely 'not' taking a life sign reading/examination of the Whisperer....

Taking 20 to analyze the Whisperer: 20 + 13 = 33

You know....for her journals of all the creatures...she has yet to ever scan one of these and put their data into her datachip....

"One is nice, but we really should get that 2nd one....it is kinda neat though that somebody took the time to write this long code into a book....."

Joe decides to help Ayoka in fixing the ladder.

"Here, let me hold these 3 steps together while you nail in the new nails...."

Engineering: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Autoassist, so +2 to Ayoka

Since everybody is doing it.

Pilot: +4
Engineer: +11
Computers:+11
Captain: +4/+5/+0 (B/D/I)
Gunner: +6

Joe is fine with any ship.....so will defer.

"Greetings Blinky and Elwin, names Guiseppelia Ba'drys Olyvia Nandell Eve Shirley...or if it is easier, Joe Bones. Mostly from Vesk-3, but I seem to find my extra time spent in Akiton. The health care there is very poor, and I am doing my best to help with medical services there."

****

Walking in, seeing the old fashion library Joe smiles...then Royo turns the projector off, and Joe is even more amazed.

"You could lose things important in here...old books made of human flesh, a spear that has blood on it, even a weird looking coffer with gold images of angelic sphinx's on it....I hope you are still using the Dewar Decimal System? That way it is easy to catalog everything."

Hearing no food...Joe quickly pops the last crumb of Akiton Way bar into her mouth. "Got-it...no food," she says finishing chewing.

Walking through the library looking around...she hears that Royo says the book is near the top....

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

And the curse of bad dice rolls seems to continue.....oh well

Joe smiles a little, "Nice to see you Garcon....I hope your mixology skills are up to snuff. Could I get a Akiton meadow--minus the oil please, as we shouldn't be drinking while on the job."

"It sounds like we should go in search of these codes....and hopefully that is what is causing the ship to shoot at other ships and not some Drift critters that inhabited the derelict."

A small very pale yellow skittermander--with a bandolier and way to many injection weapons-- slinks in at the last moment, apparently out of breath.

Muttering under her breath a little, "I hope that slimy Ikeshti is right, and that with this mod the injections will be more painful to my enemies....I couldn't hurt much in the last fight...this should help level the field."

Weirdly, there was no 'good' theorem that I really wanted...so took painful injection to at least get my damage potential up a little....

As she slides into a seat, her lower hands already have out her datapad to record the meeting and to also be useful to take notes.

Listening and taking note...she jots down "Studying the Drift...wonder if this might deal with the beacons going out?", along with "Amber Reconnoiter, need to look up ship to find out more".

Joe quickly unwraps a Akiton Way bar and proceeds to eat it quietly, but methodically while thinking.

Need to think on equipment/items, but character is otherwise ready...just need to think on all the credits she has

Nope to all 4 for Joe...oh well ;-)

Good game...and yeah...disappointing...but I feel that with 2 peeps down we would have not been able to drop the gnome and the 2 guards if we had focused on the guards first. Shifty was right in that we should focus on the gnome....doing it otherwise would have likely been a MUCH longer fight...and all of us have been killed.

I just started to prep this yesterday...and yea....wow....that last fight's CR was a CR 8....with Ainveln being a CR 6 himself. EVEN if we were 100% healed and ready for it....I doubt it would have mattered much

Effectively we were hitting WAY ABOVE our means....Even if we were all 6....I think it would have been the same.

Well...people in Season 1-2+ were saying the fights were too easy.....guess they super-saiyaned them. The only way I think we would have had a chance is if we had Mujina and at least 2 of us (probably Buddy and a spellcaster) was 4th level.

All in all...good storyline...and unlike the Into the Vast...all parts actually felt like they were really tied together. I loved the Into the Vast series...just was not as well tied together as this multi-scenario set.

Can't wait for the next chapter of the Skitterforce!

On Skitter shot being changed...it did hurt me like 6 or so credits...but oh well...sucked.

Squizzer, I never heard Into the Unknown was being looked at as a Nova possiblity. And considering the others (Fleeting Truth 3... Cornered Rat...wowzers!) it would have looked like a weak link in comparison. That is probably why they decided not to do that (At least that is my guess)

BTW...I do have 2-3 open slots For Fleeting TruthL The Everchanging Revelation....once we find at least 1 more person I can attempt to find a time to run it on Discord/Roll20. I Already have The Dire GM, Northern Dreamer and Cassi (our invading Australian) that want to play. Level 11 to 14....

Joe watches the two guards leave....hoping for a moment that she might be able to do....something.....to help the tree. Once they get out of sight she runs to the tree...realizing that there is absolutely nothing she could do for it.....

She turns inward... trying to think of anything that could have been different....and almost half hearted thinking if Mujina would have been there they might have had a chance....but realizing that one more skitter would likely have been one more possible body they would have used against them.

*****

Listening to Ehu, Joe remains mostly silent....her heart is still shattered....even the information that the ghorans don't hold it against the Starfinders that the Skitterforce was unable to help even a single tree doesn't seem to help her much.

Hearing that Ayoka seems to be as distraught as she is, Joe nods "This is going to go down in one of the few true failures I have had trying to save a patient or somebody I determined to help. Sad thing is, I don't see this being a abnormality, as it seems dark things seem to happen to the Society."

Will let the two people that could end up very easily dead make this call....

"So...what do you want...the tree is obviously dying if not dead already. I could put it safely out of it's misery...more humanely than a sword or explosions would...and would likely be better on its soul than the other trees you and Ainveln have killd. If you just want to get out with your lives...go....we won't stop you."

Joe looks around....seeing the other dead trees....hoping that somehow she can save this one...but if not....at least trying to find a way to save her friends.

Ready action if they do anything aggressive to Szama or the other skitters.

I wonder...if I 'shoot' the tree....and get through it's hardness....I could inject it with a sedative...maybe putting the tree 'unconscious'....it might make them think the tree dies????

Seeing Buddy miss....Joe says what she can to help, "Mossgrove, if you want Ainveln punished for their crimes....help us now, and mourn for the trees later!

....hoping that or Squizzer can keep Ainveln down.....

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The grenades hit Joe...probably because she is more worried on her companions than dodging herself out of the way.
4/18 SP, 20/20 HP, I almost want to use the shirt reroll..but will wait.

Seeing that the blast hit the tree, Mossgrove and herself, but missed Ayoka and Szama. Joe hopes the hardness of the tree helped, but realizes that the tree probably needs more healing if the two goons attempt to throw more grenades again.

Hearing Ainveln say that quip, she looks behind her...but sees that Buddy will likely handle it...

Thinking quickly, and hoping that her thoughts on botany are correct....a healing serum should heal the tree somewhat....though she would love to heal her allies also....But Mossgrove really seems worried about the tree.....

She loads a serum into her needler and shoots the tree??? Then takes a quick step backward...trying to distance herself from others.
Forgot I had to hit the tree before I could heal it....so mk2 will be used and used the caustolance....as I will do some damage to it...and using shirt reroll
Caustolance (EAC): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Caustolance (EAC)Reroll (+4 Nova): 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 4 = 23
Damage (Acid): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Healing serum mk2: 3d8 ⇒ (4, 6, 2) = 12

I hope that healed the tree somewhat...I think after my rewrite on needing to use the caustolance to get past any hardness the tree might have, that I didn't hurt the tree too much...but healed it for more than I hurt it.....sigh....this fight is still not going great.
