Gustav, Robot Repairman's page

I think I will sound an audible at the line and use this character instead of Creed. I'll post more info later.

Printed my sheet, and everything is great!

Thank you for running!

Feeling invincible, Gustav can only smile at the tentacled humanoid. He readies another blow

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

He also continues to maximize his defenses against this opponent (+1 AC to attacks from Squidward).

Gustav, though rather grossed out by all the tentacles, continues to introduce the Ijikri to his fist.

He also optimizes his defenses against him (+1 AC).

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Gustav modifies his stance and optimizes his defenses against Squidward (+1 Ac vs. any attacks from him)

He also attempts to beat him down and keep him busy.

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

There might be an AoO at the vesk solarian that Gustav didn't take. Let's take that now, and then await his turn.

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Just saw Owen's post. If the solarian can't move, Gustav may take an AoO. I'm fine with that, as he hasn't taken any damage yet.

Seeing an opening, Gustav pushes past Chk'tarish and Owen toward the Ijikri.

"It may be best if you call of your guards and surrender! Otherwise, this could get painful!"

His pulse gauntlet powers up and he brings the hurt down.

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Let's see if my luck can turn around with this AoO.

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Gustav makes the vesk pay.

Yes!

"I'm a little busy here to be attending to our door...maybe in a moment..."

Gustav concentrates on the enemy vesk in front of him. He optimizes his specialy armor defenses against this vagrant (move action for +1 AC vs any attacks from this enemy).

His pulse gauntlet comes down like an archaic freight train.

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Gustav moves into the room, hoping to even the odds. He attacks the one in front of Vecro.

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Gustav's heavy armor is neither subtle nor quiet. It is, however, able to stand up to all but the most devastating attacks--especially when he can activate one of his special defensive protocols.

With that in mind, Gustav moves toward the front.

"Which way should we head?"

Here's a perception roll if needed.
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

"We should be able to safely crawl through this garbage chute. I'm pretty sure any incineration equipment has been destroyed or removed."

Gustav takes a seat and rests. He took a bit of a battering.

No HP damage, but he'll spend an RP and regain his SP.

Gustav steps over the convulsing body of the vesk thug and moves toward his next victim.

attacking red.

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

With Q'Qwan on one side of his opponent, Gustav sees his opportunity to exact a punishing blow on the offending vesk.

to hit on green, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike with flanking bonus: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Seeing his chance to take care of the blinded vesk, Gustav presses his attack. His pulse gauntlet hums as he strikes his foe.

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Gustav is also sure to optimize his defenses against the target of his attack (+1 AC against green).

FYI, green actually is in melee with Gustav. I will mark that damage, as it easily beat my AC.

Gustav's pulse gauntlet begins to spark as he strikes his foe. As he does so, he also angles his body and armor components to optimize his defenses (+1 to EAC and KAC).

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Ugh. Nope. Not going for this. Mr. T-shirt says I get a reroll.

to hit, reroll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Not much better.

Gustav strides forward, activating his energy shield as he does.

Move as shown on map. Shield provides 6 temporary HP.

Gustav quietly hums some of his favorite karaoke songs.

Just checking in. Sorry I haven't had much to contribute to these interactions. Gustav obviously would take note of the possibility of acid traps though.

Gustav simply tries to look impressive in his armor. He lacks the knowledge of botany or the social graces to influence this meeting in any sort of way.

His main task is to keep the massive boots of his heavy Enforcer armor off any of the plants.

I'm waiting to see if one of my characters will wrap up an adventure he's currently on before the start date of Outpost IV. I have a plan B and a plan C should he not work out. I'll also take into consideration what the GM wrote above in choosing a character.

I say let's make it official and go with 2,3,1

"Since she's not far from here, let's start with this Fuzokiyo. Hopefully she'll be in the mood to be helpful"

Gustav finds himself in awe of Commander Paxel. As a fellow brutaris player, Gustav can't help but wonder what it would be like to take the field against someone like Paxel, even if he's no longer in his prime.

"Thank you Commander. We are in your debt, and we will be sure you receive a briefing on the outcome of this situation."

Gustav considers this Pahtra, and what the ins and outs of an encounter with him.

culture: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Owen has retrieved his diplomacy keg at some point. "I think they are music haters. They showed up just as you were finishing you karaoke!". Owen says, teasing, and lightly elbows Gustov in the thigh.

Owen's elbow makes a muffled "tink" sound as it hits Gustav's heavy armor. Gustav looks down with a good-natured smile. "There is no way anyone could have NOT liked my singing. I was absolutely killing it with that song!"

Turning to Niaj, Gustav says, "Yes. I would like to know more about this artifact."

Gustav moves to the remaining vesk and attempts to knock him out.

attempting a nonlethal attack. Looks like I should have flanking.

attack with flanking: 1d20 + 6 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 4 + 2 = 8
nonlethal damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Gustav continues to engage in fisticuffs with the nearby vesk (red).

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Gustav continues to trudge forward, finally making it to one of the vesks.

He attacks (red).

to hit, Pulse Gauntlet, Thunderstrike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Bludgeoning and Sonic damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Apologies. Forgetting to reset those dastardly cookies kept me off the boards.

Gustav rushes forward, attempting to stay out of the way of the allied sharpshooters behind him.

double move.

As Gustav steps out onto the street he activates his energy shield (giving him 6 temporary HP).

As the bullet tings off his heavy armor, he purposefully strides toward the first vesk, his pulse gauntlet powering up as he does.

"Looks like we have work to do, Starfinders! Follow me!"

Pulsing guitar riffs begin, and the man inside the massive suit of armor begins singing his heart out.

"We had a lot of luck on Eox
We always had a ball on Vesk
Meeting all the groovey people
We've rocked the Pact Worlds so far
We danced around with Liavara
We're space truckin' round the the stars
COME ON!, COME ON!, COME ON! let's go Space truckin'!"

culture: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

FOMP! FOMP! FOMP! FOMP!

Heavy, slow footfalls are heard as an imposing figure enters the building.

FOMP! FOMP! FOMP! FOMP!

Now near the bar, the figure can be seen to sport a massive suit of slate gray enforcer armor decorated with graphics, including the logo for the Absalom Cavaliers, a semi-pro brutaris team.

A gold visor lifts, and reveals an amused, almost goofy, smile. "One Castrovelian Sunrise, please. I'm here to sing some karaoke!"

FOMP! FOMP! FOMP! FOMP!

The figure strides over to the karaoke machine. "Give me that mic, and cue up Space Truckin' by, uhh, that Drow group from Apostae--Deep Purple?"

Greetings everyone!

I'll be updating Gustav soon. He's 4th level now after playing a discord game yesterday with local friends. I know we'll be going for high tier on this, but Gustav is somewhat tanky, so hopefully he'll be fine.

Chronicle looks good.

Thanks so much, Shifty.

"Perhaps we ought to give this warehouse a quick once-over. Make sure there isn't anything valuable brought here by the swarmians."

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Gus carefully calibrates his defenses against the creature (+1 AC).

He then punches the beast.

to hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

It appears Gus may get a flanking bonus. If so, that is NOT added in to the to hit roll.

bludgeoning damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Gus will suggest heading back to the front office area to take a breather. He'll take a rest as well.

spending an RP.

Okay. This is the strangest streak of dice rolling I have had here on the Paizo forums.

If you include two other games, 5 out of my last 6 to hit rolls have been 20's. In this game, 2 out of 3 in this fight have been 20. There were 2 20's in a row in another game, and my last hit in a third was a 20. This is all within the past 5 days or so.

I don't know what to chalk this up to. It's been on two different computers.

Will 1d20+4

Dara manages to give a piece of her own alien mind - stupefying the creature!

.....and Gustav attempts to take advantage of this bringing his fist down on the remaining swarmian (Thanks Kippi for forever changing the name of these things in my mind).

to hit, Battleglove, Cestus: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Bludgeoning damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

I have been bit by the crit bug. See my comment in discussion.

crit damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

DC 12 Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

DC 12 Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Gus will engage his defensive protocols to optimize his armor (+1 AC vs. Blue). He will then punch the same Swarmian he hit last turn.

to hit, Battleglove, Cestus: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Bludgeoning damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Gus steps forward, aiming to lay a beat-down on one of the creatures (green).

to hit, Battleglove, Cestus: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Bludgeoning damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Merry Critmas to me Bludgeoning damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Gus hustles forward. As he does, he accesses his custom rig, activating an energy shield that coalesces around him!

"Energy shield" mechanic trick gives him 5 temp HP. Done as a standard action.

Gus whispers quietly into comms. "Just say the word, and I can turn on the lights and commence beating that thing."

Gus does try to ascertain if there could be more nearby.

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Gus is ready, though he wishes he could do more for OMID.

"Front door or back door?"

"Let's check out the door to the other warehouse."

Gus will also look for any other clues, tracks, blood trails, broken windows, etc. Any alternative ways in?

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Gus takes a look at the terminal.

engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Clearly, Gus is a renaissance man, nailing both medicine and engineering checks throughout this adventure. Of course now I jinxed the whole thing. . . .

"Let me take a look at that door. Maybe I can figure out a way to bypass the lock or engineer it in some way"

engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Thanks Shifty. I went ahead and signed up. I'll sort out which character to use over the next 48 hours--I need to figure out who I need for Paizocon.

"I say we should investigate this warehouse."

Gus checks for any entrances, and looks in windows if there are are any.

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

"I think a career change might be in my future. Maybe my Mom was right--I would make a good doctor."
