Hoshi Izarra's page

Chronicle received. Thank you for a fun adventure.

Earned Income: Performance, Expert: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

I think that's a failure, but still earns 8 credits.

Hoshi's singing coil is out of charge, so she stows the violin, draws her semi-auto pistol and shoots at the worm.

◆ interact, ◆ interact, ◆ strike

Semi-auto Pistol: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage P: 1d6 ⇒ 6 (range 30 ft.)(8 projectiles left in magazine)

Hoshi draws her bow and points it at the worm nearest her and Obozawa Yellow. "Focus fire on this one first," she urges and pulls the bow across her violin string, producing a focused beam of disrupting sound, quite the opposite of what the violin was producing earlier. The beam passes through the worm and continues on toward the bar, shattering a few wine glasses dramatically.

◆ Interact to draw singing coil (synth violin and bow)
Get 'em directive + Lead by Example ◆◆

Singing Coil, Area Damage, Line 40 ft. E, Charisma Bonus: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Basic Reflex Save, DC 18

Everyone gets a +1 status bonus to hit and damage on subsequent Strikes made against the enemy until the start of Hoshi's next turn.

Hoshi will use her "Watch out!" reaction directive the first time a worm attacks a Starfinder other than herself. This warning grants the ally a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against the triggering attack.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Hoshi is disoriented, not sure where to direct her attention.

Hoshi tries to memorize the individuals who went with the so called Functionary, planning to try to get information on those in case future missions encountered them again to judge what changes may have occurred. Then she is distracted by the shaking earth.

Hoshi jumps at the chance to entertain the crowd. She activates her violin's auto-tune feature and performs a lively set of Pahtra reels and jigs.

Performance, Expert: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

When Jax tries to try to get us to stop the SFS's investigations, Hoshi warns the consortium that getting in the society's way could be bad for consortium operations on Akiton. She hints at ways the society could impede the consortium's usual sources of income with bureaucratic hassles.

Intimidation, trained: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

I will use an action point to reroll this.

Intimidation, trained: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Hoshi suggests Jax next, so when we talk to First Seeker Sarmak, we can report what we've learned about the other three.

Hoshi speculates on what aspects of current Pact World people and systems that might bear the marks of the First Ones.

Society, trained: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

1=Jax,2=PC: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Hoshi suggests the group locate and chat with Posit-Certitude.

There appears to be a problem with whatever was put on that third slide. Can't see anything but a grey box. There is another grey box on the 2nd slide top right.

Stell spends some time sharing what she knows about the Society's influence with the Pact Worlds nations and factions, highlighting what might be helpful ways of influencing problem groups in the scavenger's favor.

Society, trained: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Hoshi goes along with Glitch toward the Akitonian leader.

Hoshi asks Voss how the salvagers are doing. Whatever he talks about, Hoshi brainstorms ideas for how the Starfinders could help, suggesting who in the lodge might be most accommodating.

Diplomacy, trained: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Hoshi looks around for Zizenzi to give the report on the perimeter check. When she doesn't immediately spot them, she dictates a brief summary on her comm unit and sends it to them. Then she peruses the food and drink options.

We know the functionary uses robots for many things, but this could also be some mercenary group getting intel on what the Starfinders are finding.

Hoshi moves around the rock until she catches sight of the remaining robot spy, calls out its location to help Obozaya and the others better locate it for attacks, and then fires at it herself by plucking her violin singing coil. The string builds up resonant energy and sends it singing toward the enemy.

Stride ◆, Get 'em! ◆◆
The Get 'em! bonus only benefits those within 60 ft. of Hoshi. If Glitch and Xydai are where their tokens are on the map, they are too far away. The bonus is +1 status bonus to attacks against that target and +1 status bonus to damage on subsequent Strikes made against the enemy until the beginning of Hoshi's next turn

Singing Coil, Area Damage, Line 40 ft. E, Get 'em! bonus: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Basic Reflex Save, DC 18

'Botting Obozawa:

Obozawa advances and then sets, centering a burst of automatic machine gun fire on the drone.

Stride ◆, Autofire machine gun, with strike at primary target ◆◆

Primary Target strike, Get 'em!: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21
Damage, p, Get 'em! bonus: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
On a hit, if your primary target rolls a success against your Area Fire or Auto-Fire action, they get a failure instead.
Area damage, Get 'em! bonus: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
DC 17 Reflex save

Obozaya advances trying to get close enough to use his machine gun to best effect. He fires off a quick shot, hoping to switch to automatic fire next.

Stride for 15' from Get in There Directive ↺. Then 2 strides at 30' ◆◆. Then Strike ◆

Machine Gun, single round: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
damage, P: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Sorry to be slow to post this week. we adopted a kitten on Monday and it's consuming our attention.

Hoshi runs toward the robots, again urging her comrades to hustle with her. Then she fires her singing coil (on her violin) at the one she can see around the rock outcropping.

Get in There, lead by example, 2 strides with +5 speed. ◆◆
Until the beginning of Hoshi's next turn, she and her allies gain a +5-foot status bonus to Speed. Also: each of her allies can immediately Step or Stride up to half their Speed (rounded down to the nearest 5 feet) as a reaction.

Singing Coil, Area Damage, Line 40 ft. E: 1d8 ⇒ 7 Basic Reflex Save, DC 18 Strike ◆
Traits area (line), Professional (Performance), Tech, Unwieldy

Obozaya uses the Get In There reaction to move 15 ↺. Then he strides another 30 feet (25 feet + 5 feet bonus) ◆. At this point, he is still more than 2 range increments from the targets, so he takes another stride, moving 30 feet ◆. Then he takes a single ranged shot at the closest enemy, now 50 feet away, taking a 1 range increment penalty. Strike ◆.

Machine Gun, 2nd range increment: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 2 = 7
Damage, P: 1d8 ⇒ 1

"Spies at 075," Hoshi says. "Let's hustle!"

Get in There ◆◆ Directive + lead by example stride, another stride ◆

Until the beginning of Hoshi's next turn, she and her allies gain a +5-foot status bonus to Speed. Also: each of her allies can immediately Step or Stride up to half their Speed (rounded down to the nearest 5 feet) as a reaction.

Hoshi straggles a bit watching the dust devils with interest. Then she trots to catch up.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

"What might this be?" Hoshi asks rhetorically as she inspects the discovered part.

Crafting: 1d1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Spending a hero point to reroll.

Crafting: 1d1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

"That's interesting."

Third Quadrant: Nature, trained: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Hoshi continues to draw on her experience and education with geology to evaluate the area and suggest what might be expected.

Last Quadrant: Crafting: 1d1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
When the sandstorm approaches, Hoshi notices a thin slab of slate-like rock about the size of a large kitchen table. She gets everyone to help lift it and lean it against an area with a natural indentation to provide shelter from the worst of the winds.

Hoshi wasn't practiced in the physical requirements of the area, so she focused on what she knew of natural environments. She interpreted the rock types and was able to predict what sorts of nooks and crannies to expect and perhaps what creatures might hide therein.

Nature, trained: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Hoshi surveys the first area to be patrolled and sees the need to adjust the D-Vee's suspecnsion, so she works engages the vehicle computer system to start the process.

Computers: 1d1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

While she does that, Obozawa looks at the area with risk assessment in mind.

Survival, trained: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Diplomacy, trained: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Hoshi asks around but it seems everyone she asks is busy with no time for chit-chat. Either that or she needs a breath mint.

Sorry, I missed this post yesterday.

"Let's look beyond the sand and see if we can spot any threats," Hoshi says with an understanding smile, being no fan of this desert terrain.

Hoshi Izarra is a female human recruited for this assignment. She has dark hair, dark eyes, a mix of ethnicities Taldan and Tien Xia, wearing stylish quilted armor with only a baton and a semi-auto pistol for weapons. Anyone who follows up-and-coming musicians might recognize her as one half of the duo Swing Synch Syzygy. She sings, plays a synth violin, and dances with Jock Burtan, a Pahtra who plays sax and does acrobatic tumbling as part of his dance moves. She smiles and greets each of the team and readily shares information about her abilities and background.

Hoshi has no questions. She studies the map while waiting for the briefing to end. She has participated in other missions at this lodge in relation to the wreck of the returned Scenario #1-07 Seize and Destroy.

Is it just two PC and a Pregen?

I've been delaying dotting in expecting perhaps another PC. I could play either a soldier or an envoy. I'd prefer to play the Envoy, in which case we should probably have a soldier or operative Pre-Gen.

We have a mystic post on the recruitment thread. Then we'd have two casters. I'll dot as Hoshi, but would be willing to do my soldier instead.

Jock is one my other characters.

The link to this page from the Augustana Station post was hard to spot.

Hoshi is a level 2 envoy. I also have a level 2 soldier.

Scratch Hoshi's post. I didn't notice that she has done this adventure.

Sorry. I thought I checked her missions. I have a Vlaka Technomancer and a Vlaka Witchwarper.

A young human woman with light brown skin, almond shaped eyes, thick straight black hair, suggesting a mix of ethnicities, enters, humming a catchy tune. She takes advantage of the low gravity to make a gentle leap and twist her torso and hips in a dance move. She wears stylish quilted armor, with only a baton and some kind of pistol on her belt. Tucked into a wide pocket on her backpack is a sleek synth-violin, which can also be used as a ranged weapon with a singing coil attached.

Anyone who is fan of popular music may recognize her as Hoshi Ibarra, one half of a rising music duo Swing Sync Syzygy in which she and the Pahtra ex-soldier Jock Burtan perform catchy jazz with musical skill combined with dance and performance.

When she enters, she says, "Was that KaWyrd I heard? If you like that, you should here Syzygy's latest, Starship Dreams of Rock and Ruin." As she takes her seat, her holospark plays a snippet of the song.

Once settled, she says, "I'm Hoshi Izarra. I'm something of a battlefield advisor first and combatant second." Envoy (Through Desperate Times) "What's the buzz, Drift Fuzz?" Her eye sparkle as she lets Zizenzi know she means no disrespect.

Hoshi participated in two other missions related to the Wreck of the Returned. #1-01 Invasion's Edge, 31-07 Seize and Destroy

Is this for PFS credit?

I'm retired so posting regularly is no problem. I have Hoshi (a 2nd level Envoy), a 2nd level soldier, a first level Vlaka Witchwarper (sounds like we've already got one witchwarper), and a Vlaka Technomancer (new character with no experience).

Chronicle downloaded. Thanks.

Earned income, if performance can be used, as she is an idol.

Hoshi stands still watching the strange undead creatures approach, drawing her pistol and choosing the one nearer to herself for her first attack, encouraging everyone to follow suit.

"They want to rock and roll! Let's show 'em what we've got, starting with this one!"

She indicates which one by shooting at it. Green.

Semi-auto Pistol, Get 'em: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 = 22
Damage P, Get 'em Lead by Example: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 (range 30 ft.)(10 projectiles left in magazine)

All gain +1 status bonus to attacks against Green and +1 status bonus to damage on subsequent Strikes made against the same target until the start of Hoshi's next turn.

◆◆ Get 'em + Lead by Example

Then she shouts at the same one, hoping it can understand her, "Your brief revived existence will end momentarily!"

Intimidation, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
◆ Demoralize Green

Whichever creature next makes an attack on any in the party that targets AC will get a shouted warning from Hoshi: ↺ Watch Out grants +2 circumstance bonus to AC against the triggering attack.

I signed up with my Envoy, Hoshi Izzara. She is finishing up a game from the Gameday events. If that game is not finished by the time this starts, I can play another. It is my understanding this is a replayable adventure.

Computers, trained: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Hoshi looks over the device and any controls she can find. "This is some kind of new Magitech. Very strange."

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

After the pulse, Hoshi's hair changes color to include a number of stripes of different colors not normally found in human ancestries. Anyone familiar with her early music videos recognizes her look from her early days as a budding music icon. She is also missing a tattoo that was on her right forearm, a violin with musical notes pouring out of it in the shape of an infinity sign.

"Anyone know what those were?" Hoshi asks as she gets out her medkit.

"Who got any of that gunk on you?"

She treats her own wounds after everyone else is helped.

Medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 DC 15

She treats the pain, but the burn remains.

Ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Hoshi avoids the worst of the corrosive ejecta. She cautiously puts five feet between her and the goo. She points at it with her free hand, saying, "One down, one to go! Get this goo guy!"

Then she fires her pistol at it.

◆ Step.
◆◆ Get 'em and Lead by Example

Hoshi and allies gain a +1 status bonus to damage on subsequent Strikes made against Green until the start of your next turn.

Hoshi slips into the room next to Zmiersh, points at the nearer goo and says, "Let's get that one first!" Then she shots her pistol, hoping the projectile harms something vital to its capabilities.

◆ Stride
◆ ◆ Two-action Get 'em

Semi-auto Pistol, Get 'em: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 = 23 Target: Yellow Goo

You and your allies gain a +1 status bonus to damage on subsequent Strikes made against the enemy until the start of your next turn. On the strike by Hoshi, she gets a damage bonus equal to her charisma bonus.

Hoshi follows, carrying her baton in one hand and her pistol in the other.

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Hoshi keeps her breathing shallow as possible as she works. If she feels the fumes affecting her, she steps away into clear air until she feels able to get back to work.

Hoshi's lip curls at the smell, but she joins the effort to make the area safer to explore.

Hoshi is the token of the woman with the guitar. I put a label in the upper right side of the map.

Hoshi does point out the 'fish' corpses.

Medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Hoshi examines the bodies and concludes, "Death by injection. Some kind of forced transformation that failed."

She casts about and spots two broken syringes. She collects them after being sure to secure them so the needles don't accidentally stick her or anyone else handling them.

"Anyone seen anything like this before?"

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
