Finally, some action.

Grinds gruffly returns the sentiment. You should have seen the look on that one's face when I asked if it was possible the giant spider hisses in some semblance of a joke directed towards Numina.

Grinds begins belting out a tune thats familiar to him but to all others is a series of high pitched clicks and scratches.

Youre right music is good team building

The massive soldier knows his duty is done for the moment. He sits back into the charred stairwell, and begins to sip water and catch his breath.

Recovering SP at the cost of 1 RP

Good catch Numina. Do you think she will fly under our command?

Grinds rushes forward and attempts to drive his glaive into the Azlanti leader.

The Knights of Golarion will accept your surrender - drop your weapons and surrender

Challenge (Intimidate to Shake, will be off target vs targets other than Grinds): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
Glaiving Through Evil (Sonic/Electric): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 282d8 + 17 ⇒ (4, 3) + 17 = 24

Stuck on the perpetually trapped stairwell Grinds gets frustrated and attempts once more to cleave with his great and powerful glaive held between his mandibles as he lets out a louf and predatorial clicking sound to alert the Azlanti of his anger.

Vs Orange
Glaiving Through Evil (Sonic/Electric): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 262d8 + 17 ⇒ (2, 5) + 17 = 24

Vs Yellow
Glaiving Through Evil (Sonic/Electric): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 252d8 + 17 ⇒ (5, 2) + 17 = 24

(Again I am at -2 AC for attempting this)

Should this damage drop the foes, Grinds gets out of the damn stairwell.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

So 0 and 18

Grinds has elec resistance 5, so he only is down 30 not 40 SP

He moves forward with his glaive and makes a powerful swipe at the orange guard while making a proclamation.

The Pact Worlds will not allow you to have this weapon to be used against us. But if you think you can stop me from stopping you....come and get it.

He aims a shot at Red hoping to use his momentum to Cleave through at Orange as well.

Glaiving Through Evil (Sonic/Electric): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 242d8 + 17 ⇒ (7, 2) + 17 = 26

Glaiving Through Evil (Sonic/Electric): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 302d8 + 17 ⇒ (3, 3) + 17 = 23

Will be at -2 AC as a result of using Cleave

Did I not find anything in my search of the stasis tube room?

Reflex, +2 if this is a spell of some kind: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Reflex, +2 if this is a spell of some kind: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Perception Top Deck Area: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

The large haan doesn't feel that his particular skillset is of particular use in most parts of the ship, so he decides to dedicate some time to searching the drift stasis tube area.

This ship is enormous. What need could the Azlant have for such a huge archaic ship?

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Sorry Numina but I am headed forward! Grinds clacks his appreciation and squeezes forward before getting in range of the enemy and stabbing down at the yellow robot

Glaiving Through Evil (Sonic/Electric) + Harrying Fire: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 2 = 232d8 + 17 ⇒ (3, 2) + 17 = 22

Unsure of height here so correct positioning if I am not within my 15 ft reach

Its a +1 to hit and damage vs evil outsiders

Grinds does, as a matter of fact, have the Knights of Golarion boon, I just didn't slot it.

I won it at GenCon launch weekend believe it or not.

Grinds gives the ole Turret a shot!

Gunnery: 1d20 + 10 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 3 = 27
Damage: 5d10 ⇒ (9, 5, 5, 5, 10) = 34

Turret Guns: 1d20 + 10 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 3 = 29

Turret Damage: 5d10 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 10, 1) = 19

rerolling the 1: 1d10 ⇒ 5

I figure Grif since you are here more during prime posting hours, that I will use the turret and you can use the other arcs.

Also given that both of our gunners are below average, we might both benefit from near permanent access to them.

Also, once we breach shields even a little, I might take swap from gunner to Captain when we choose to broadside.

Just so we arent waiting for me all day tomorrow I will use turret weapons against whatever arc we end up being given

Grinds huffs and puffs as he squeezes into the gunnery chair like champ, claiming one of the computer boosts to fire.

Locked on as best I can, firing Torpedos, Connect for Iomedae's sake!

Turret Weapon: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 21
Blowing re-roll already? WHY NOT: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 26
Turret Damage: 5d10 ⇒ (7, 3, 7, 9, 5) = 31

Grinds takes a look over at the creature itself and grunts at Myron Help me study these, my fingers are often too big to do good detailed work but together this should be a breeze

This xenophage creeper plant that naturally grows on this moon can be manipulated into a special biotech circuitry that affords some measure of control over the King Xeros's movement and phase shifting. It's pretty interesting stuff, but I think I understand it well enough to use it on our ammunition to bypass shields when we get a direct hit on a critical system of theirs. Thank you for your small hands, Myron.

Upon having the high cabinet pointed out, Grinds will try to climb up there.

Athletics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Ah look here schematics on where their energy cells are, this should be invaluable when we combat the King Xeros.

Grinds lets out clacking hiss Get after that damned Azlanti soldier, I can hold the line here just fine on my own. HISSS

He puffs his chest and shining Pact World Sunburst shines A Knight of Golarion always gets his mark.

Realizing that this creature probably had no choice in its subjugation he uses his superior knowledge about animals to avoid hitting vital spots

Life Science to ID creature for the purpose of Proccing my Wild Warden ability: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Presuming that the creature is an animal or magical beast that that roll identifies the damage will be non lethal

He then strikes with his Glaive twice
Glaiving Through Evil (Sonic/Electric): 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 13 - 4 = 252d8 + 17 ⇒ (6, 6) + 17 = 29
Glaiving Through Evil (Sonic/Electric): 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 13 - 4 = 152d8 + 17 ⇒ (5, 4) + 17 = 26

The haan warrior takes his glaive in large mandibles, seemingly annoyed at being spit at.

You will regret that, you pest

and slashes with the glaive twice with mighty swings.

Glaiving Through Evil (Sonic/Electric): 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 13 - 4 = 242d8 + 17 ⇒ (4, 5) + 17 = 26

Glaiving Through Evil (Sonic/Electric): 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 13 - 4 = 232d8 + 17 ⇒ (3, 5) + 17 = 25

Stand down your master is against us

Grinds rushes to to the front of the line. He was the bulwark. With his size and reach with his cryopike he could help defend his dwarven companion and prevent harm from reaching the backlines.

He-Who-Grinds-Blades-To-Dust tumbles out of the cramped and confined quarters of the drake and is almost relieved to see the open spaces, but beholds the hostiles warily.

Numina isss that a man or an undead abomination? I mussst know for tactical reasons. the giant haan hisses.

The oversized haan cannot even really fit in the turret area fully, his large abdomen shoved out into the hallway as his mandibles delicately operate the turrets spinning and aiming capabilities. He takes aim at what he expects is a load bearing beam and fires.

These human supremacist scumbags won't know what hit them

Gunnery, using of the computer boosts: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 25

I have a Rune Drive Rewrite too, and I figure we should use it on the engines (which gives us 10 hexes instead of 8 I believe)

I mean, I OWN a heavy weapon (which come to think of it I didnt even put on my profile) but its for fighting mooks.

Given that this certainly doesn't SOUND like a mission where being a celebrity is going to be a boon, I will switch out for Contractor's Respect (Ulrikka) to get my hands on some Lashunta Ringwear III.

I am good with the Pegasus with its superior computers and using my Weapons of a Lost Civilization as my starship boon to up our damage

The massive spider-Knights expression is difficult to read as his insectoid face lacks the muscles necessary to express and emote the way the others can. But instead a low click of annoyance begins to roll from his face.

You mean to tell me that....essentially a BOAT is floating in space. You don't think that's super weird? Has it reconfigured itself to look like a starship or does it look like....ya know....a boat.

He seems to be slowly considering the situation Your information suggests the Azlanti know about this ship. They arent going to just let us land. Are we not afraid this might cause a war between the Pact Worlds and the Azlant Star Empire?

Grinds is basically only suitable to be Gunner or Captain:

Gunnery: +9
Intimidate: +13

A mass of gleaming white armor glowing with a golden hue and bearing the sunburst of The Inheritor on across its chest, a large loud clanking Spider-shaped humanoid crawls into view.

It returns the fist bump gingerly with its massive hands.

I am He-Who-Grinds-Blades-To-Dust. Exile of Bretheda but proud protector the Pact Worlds. I serve so that my Luddite kin can live in peace. I serve with the Knights of Golarion with pride against evil scheming corporate dragons and invading jinsuls alike. Despite all of this gleaming armor, I consider myself one of the premier hunters in all the pact worlds. Whatever is going on, I will protect you from it.Lest your soft civilized fat hands fumble the situation and plunge the whole alliance into chaos.

He crouches and studies people as they pass waiting to hear what was so important he was called away from his other duties.

This is the character I am using, but he has, since sign ups, leveled to 7 fittingly enough with Part 3 of Aeon Throne so I need to fix his sheet some.

The brutal He-Who-Grinds-Blades-To-Dust left the situation. He appreciated that the olive branch that had once been reached out to him was being extended to the morlamaw but frankly sees them as unable to compete in the universe at large.

To be that gullible, you will be eaten alive in the wider pact worlds. He kept tab on the planet from then on, not trusting this worship of Zon-Kuthon was merely an unfortunate episode and not a sign of something more sinister.

He did learn that the face of danger and evil could sometimes be doofy and stupid. And that's worth knowing too, he supposed.

Reflex (this was a spell it sounds like So I add 2 from spellbane): 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 = 24

You are the worst sort of predator. Preying upon the innocence of babesss. You will pay for your sins, ans what you did to the other starfinder, as a Knight of Golarion I swear it.

Cryopike + Get Em: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 4 = 261d8 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Cryopike + Get Em: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 4 = 141d8 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

I am attending Marscon this weekend.

If necessary Grinds tactics are to use challenge to demoralize the tiughest target and stake out a position to be an obstacle for as many enemies as possible using his 15 ft reach.

As the brave warden, the massive spidery He-Who-Grinds-Blades-To-Dust enjoys his injection of handwavium he makes his way to the big black snake to investigate his macabre stomach contents, fearing the worst has befallen the kalos.

After a moment he takes in the child. These simpletons had been duped. That much was clear now. Yesss child you may

He who grinds winds back She is an abomination children, she cannot be allowed to continue corrupting you and torturing you. You sssssuffeer from Aballon Ssssyndrome

He takes his pike back into both hands and tries to double-skewer the cultist with his pike.

Cryopike vs EAC: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 281d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Cryopike vs EAC: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 101d8 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Oh almost forgot

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Also since she failed her save against my poison that's still an ongoing effect until she makes the save. POISON DUELS

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

I am not sure what, if any of this would be subject to my kinetic resistance but I am bare minimum 5 pts of stamina higher than listed

The giant armored spider does not take kindly to being skewered but figures the big blubber lad is just doing what he thinks is right and continues to focus on Oshessa.

He takes his big armored fist and produces a big poisoned barb of his own and slams it into Oshessa.

We all answer to the sssssame authority. That of natural selection. You choosing to cross me - that was your selection

Big Fist + Poison Barb DC 13 Fort or take 2d6 damage til save is made + Flank + Get Em vs KAC: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 161d4 + 12 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 12 + (4, 3) = 20

FFS, lets use my T shirt reroll I slotted

Big Fist + Poison Barb DC 13 Fort or take 2d6 damage til save is made + Flank + Get Em + GM Star vs KAC: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 26

And my blows - those are all natural

Thorns huh....I can show you thorns if you like...

Just as a matter of rules minutae (sorry in advance) Grinds is actually 15 feet away from Oshessa - he used a pike. She either needed to Move or Guarded Step forward.

Grinds grunts As a member of the Knights of Golarion, this aggression on your part against the Pact Worlds cannot be allowed to stand, servants of the Night Lord.

The giant spider twirls his cryo pike and delivers a simple vicious slice against the Oshessa.

Challenge Strike: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 141d8 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Challenge Intimidate to Demoralize: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Thanks for doing this hmm, but if I may make one request can we get the map either in the campaign description or your profile.

Getting to it proved really difficult on my phone

He-Who-Grinds is nearly certain this is a trap. That these morlamaw almost certainly poisoned and then tortured the kalos.

But he has no proof. Still he DOES half suspect that the airlocked room is going to make for a make shift prison and inists on waiting until Ohsessa enters before following.

I am at the point where I almost just want to be issued a Chronicle and just move on with my life but I will stick with the group.

I would very much have liked for this scenario to have finished before next weekend as well yes. That doesn't seem possible now.

So this is a cult that specializes in torture? Then I can no longer be polite the massive haan moves to the reliquary and makes it clear to the guardian that he is not asking permission - he IS entering one way or another.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

I tire of thissss, stupid creatures. You will either answer some questions or you will find that your rules no longer mean anything to me. the implications of the sermon were lost on the giant spider but he knew stalling tactics when he saw them.

Awaiting momentarily to see what insights the others might have, Grinds moves obviously and defiantly for one of the areas marked off limits.

Your evasion on even the simplest queries has not engendered trust. Of there was an accident you can admit that and we can correct it. But if those kalo met their demise at your hands.....

Hinevera....we aren't about to dine on Kalo are we? The giant bug hisses suspiciously.

Grinds is a bit taken aback.

These peoples greed was already irritating them. Could these things really be innocent?

Yes who is this weeping knight?
