Imperator Fexia's page

Fexia is notably stoic at the call for remembrance... She lost many a friend in the Scoured Stars and is rather nervous to speak afterwards. When she finally does, she quickly transitions back to her confusion of holiday customs and quizzical inquiries about the definition of 'Holiday Cheer.' By the time she returns to Camellia she hangs her head in shame. "I regret to inform you, that I was unable to discover a source of 'Holiday Cheer' as a part of our mission. I shall-"

She's quite taken aback by Camellia's enthusiasm and gifts, and spends the next day trying to figure out what happened.

Thanks for the Abysshead T-Shirt... I mean... chronicle is good! Thanks for running!

Fexia does a quick scan on the infosphere for holiday music to liven up the mood. She builds a playlist on Dotify, hooks it into the family vidgaming audio system and then...

Computers: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

...manages to only accidently play a few Abysshead tracks in the mix.

Fexia should have been AoO'd as well, but at this point it looks like all is well!

A brutalized Fexia cleans herself off, then lifts the creature's front legs up and holds them over her shoulders like backpack straps as she prepares to head back.

Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Reroll, 1 nova: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 1 = 21

Day Job - Lab Tech: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Looks like that puts me down to 0/54 Sta, and 21/46 HP after 2 hits, ignoring the sonic dmg.

Fexia spits ichor, then continues tearing into the beast.

Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 2 = 30
Damage: 1d3 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

With that she attempts to fall back sleightly, drawing her taclash as she moves in order to continue harassing the creature.

Acrobatics (Tumble): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

"Withdrawing as recommen.... oof!"

She staggers for a moment, leaving herself open as she falls back.

Taclash has reach so she'll still provide flanking and coordinated shot assuming she doesn't get taken down.

I have coordinated shot, so people shooting at it get +1 if I'm not in the way. Also I've got 5 sonic resistance, so 9 less damage. Still in SP! Barely... Lastly, did that movement provoke an AoO as it was on difficult terrain?

"I am well equipped to sustain injuries of this type and engage in close-quarters combat."

Fexia moves around to get behind the beast, emitting a rumbling growl in resonance with the creature's strike. (provoking an AoO to use Challenge for move/intimidate/attack)

Intimidate (Demoralize DC 15+1.5xCR): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Claw vs KAC, Flanking: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d3 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

My sonic resistance 5 finally does something! After 6 levels of play!

Fexia lets the rifle clatter to the ground and decides to skip from hunting to butchering.

Claw, Opening Volley, Full Attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 - 4 = 15
Damage (S): 1d3 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

Claw, Full Attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 4 = 16
Damage (S): 1d3 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

Fexia fires off a blast from her artillery rifle, then closes the distance slowly but surely before letting loose another blast.

"Ah... that is the target. I shall endeavor to leave the corpse suitable for butchering and cooking."

Surprise!
Attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Damge (F): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Round 1: Move and shoot
Attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Damge (F): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Fexia jacks back into her computer and uploads a live feed.

"Searching... acquiring target..."

Hireling to the rescue...: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Fexia looks at Alora and opens her mouth. She pauses as she considers Hellih's calming words then nods. "Yes. I shall ensure that the hatchlings engage in an appropriate diversion, and then I shall return."

She goes into the other room and towers over them as Stiehle sits down with them.

"FUN WILL NOW COMMENCE!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

She promptly returns, then bows. "Assignment complete. How may I now assist Queen Alora?"

Fexia salutes. "As you command Queen Yichen."

Fexia removes her armor, allowing her maximum range of movement, then disconnects her datajack from the computer in her pack. She does a few warm-up pushups, then prepares to distribute 'festive cheer' to the best of her ability. She climbs up as high as she can on the float and grips tightly as she hurls candy to the crowd below.

Athletics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Fexia cracks her whip twice, ripping through the hologram. "Is a Wataroon capable of mating with a Renkroda? Or are you using the term cross to denote crossing paths with?"

Lash vs Hologram EAC, Full Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 4 = 16
Dmg (E): 1d4 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Lash vs Hologram EAC, Full Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 4 = 23
Dmg (E): 1d4 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Looking back at Hellih she asks, "Are any of you capable of ascending to complete repairs?"

Fexia nods towards Hellih. "Commence repairs, I shall hold the line."

She lets her artillery rifle fall to the ground as she moves in, pulling out a taclash that appears to have a mind of its own. She grimaces as she look at the creature phasing in and out of existence and mutters a curse as she flips the weapon from 'stun' to 'kill.'

Her movement will provoke from the hologram, hopefully sparing Hellih the AoO. Her neural lash has reach, so if the hologram moves she'll take the AoO. Unfortunately her lash is always set to stun which wont be helpful against a construct, and her claws wont be terribly useful against a hologram.

Fexia pulls out her artillery rifle and fires off a blast at the projector as she slowly advances.

"Threat identified... moving to intercept."

Attack vs Projector EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Dmg (F): 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Fexia nods. "I shall do my best to ensure that this display is able to complete its transit without incident."

Piloting: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Fexia moves forward slowly, checking for smoldering shirts as she approaches the console opposite Shokil. "If someone requires an additional extinguisher, they may take mine. I shall attempt to commandeer part of the fire suppression system."

Computers: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Fexia sprays a blast, extinguishing all of the nearby flames. Full action, both squares

I don't think i can put one out. Move to draw stowed item, move to get adjacent.

Out of curiosity I just checked my own and it says to stand 6 ft away, so adjacent sounds good to me. Draw and move for Fexia's first turn.

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Fexia leaps into action, despite the afterimages of flashes lingering in her vision. "We are under attack! Securing the area..."

She pulls a fire extinguisher out of her pack and points it at the nearest flames. What is the range on a fire extinguisher? If its adjacent, Fexia will move up to the pair of nearby flames. If she can spray from where she stands she'll get to work right away and remove one of them.

Fexia opens her mouth as she considers their names, then silently closes it. Finally she asks, "Redundancy in mission parameters frequently indicates either an error, or emphasis. Given the present ordnance, in the absence of open communication with your queen, I would presume the second option. Which parameters of the ordnance is to be tested?"

She begins to generate a log file on her stowed computer via her datajack.

Lab Tech: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 to help devise a safe and efficient and safe test procedure.

"As you command Queen Dot."

Fexia definitely wants her Abysshead swag. Shall we call that Party Clothing for Aggrosynth concerts? I believe that's 5 credits.

Fexia looks at the merch and carefully selects an Abysshead tshirt. "I would like to procure this item of apparel for myself."

An old analog turntable somehow begins playing Abysshead as she approaches...

"I had best adjust my equipment to facilitate the present assignment Queen Dot."

She bows, then takes a moment to change out of her heavy armor and into her new t-shirt, then climbs up to help the dusting.

Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 She has Magboots for a +5 if there is a metal surface to use to climb.

I almost forgot I have my ally for Culture, Medicine, and Survival.
Fexia has a computer in her backpack connected to her datajack.
She uses that to communicate with them and look up various things that she is unsure about, which is pretty much everything.

Fexia's eyes defocus as she sends a few messages from her computers to an old hive-mate.

Pro Hireling Culture: 1d20 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 6 = 18

"If older memorabilia is desired, Second Time Around has likely acquired some with their previous logo. This may be advantageous for the present mission requirements."

Perception: Blind
Culture: Something you do with lab specimens.

Fexia is completely at a loss. "Confess... feelings? Is she clergy of a sort? I have heard of some confessional traditions, but I do not believe I have heard of any involving personalized gift-giving."

She pulls up her computer to search the infosphere for Sonic Tumult and checks out a few vids for reference.

**DJENT DJENT... DJENT DJENT... DJENT DJENT**

For some reason Abysshead plays no matter what she tries to pull up, and she quickly turns the volume down as quick as she can. Fexia finally gives up and turns off her audio, at which point the nearby speakers in the apartment begin playing Abysshead instead. Finally she asks, "Is she perhaps a fan of Abysshead?"

She finally turns her own computer back on to play it as quietly as possible, leaving their hosts devices safe from the sonic assault. Shrugging she mumbles to the party, "If acquisition of music-related objects is ideal, I recommend against devices with automatic playing functionality unless Abysshead is the desired output."

Something something 'boon' from Nightarch...

"Shall we prepare to interrogate the intended recipients of Kinnik's gifts to discern the ideal gifts?"

Fexia contemplates her words, clearly unsure about the entirety of the situation. "This concept is not of my hive. I have been dispatched to this facility to learn and 'experience festive cheer' of which I am still seeking to understand."

She pauses as Shokil goes over his list of works then adds. "I have performed much reading to immerse myself in the local culture. One moment."

Her eyes defocus and roll back for a moment, then she snaps back. "I have found a list of your publications, however there appears to be an irregularity in the list. It appears as though there is a gap of approximately one year without any releases listed on your wikisphere entry. You may wish to consider re-"

She stops short when hearing Hellih's voice. "I was not aware that I would be working with a hive-mate. It will be an honor to serve with you once again!"

Turning back to Camelia she gets back to the questions at hand. "I am apart from my hive to learn the ways of the hive-of-many-queens. I consider all who have shared toil and shed blood by my side to be family. Including mission-specialist Hellih who fought by my side to purge corruption from the lands of the Izalguun."

A formian warrior marches into the cafeteria, decked out in heavy armor emblazoned with the sigil of the Hellknight Order of the Scourge. She looks about, then approaches one of the counters adorned with festive treats. "Imperator Fexia, reporting for mandatory recreational duty. I have been informed by Queen Jadnura that I am required to partake in festive food and/or drink, and experience an indeterminate amount of 'festive cheer.' Is this the correct location to fulfill these objectives?"

I'd like to play. My preferred character is busy, so I'll likely be playing my lvl 6 Formian Hellknight, Imperator Fexia. She will strongly encourage some mandatory fun. Unfortunately Zargothrax is lvl 7 and can't join Shokil for this outing.

She switches between an artillery rifle, a taclash, or her claws. She is still a bit fuzzy on the concept of a hierarchy that does not include a queen.

Ah, many characters that I know! 1/3 of the the helpful nufriend brigade and the cigar smoking koala. I'm probably playing Fexia (who has worked with Blinky before) who is a lvl 5 Soldier, but I'm checking with my ongoing group to see if it's possible that Garcon might be available who is my lvl 3 Skittermander Biohacker... who has played with Szama and Joe. I'll figure that out this evening and post the relevant details. Neither PC has any of the mentioned boons. Those who have are well out of tier for this by now.

Interested, but unfortunately my low tier Skittermander isn't available. I've got my lvl 5 Formian Soldier (Hellknight).

My name ended up with your initials instead of my name, but if you don't mind me editing that out and adding my rep, I'm good.

Hey... question. Those charts you used for the starship combat, do you have a tool that was generating those images? I liked that display and would like to use it in my games if possible.

And with that, Fexia goes *ding* 6th level!

"I would not recommend taking action that would breech trust with the Izalguun. Their skills and equipment may prove invaluable, and their explicit request should be taken into consideration when determining our course of action. Acting contrary to said request may deprive us of the ability to utilize those skills at a later date."

My chronicle info from earlier, since it seems to be relevant now.

Player: Aaron

Character: Imperitor Fexia
Class/Level: Soldier (Hellknight) 5
SFS Info: 4249-704
Day Job: Profession (Lab Tech): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Fexia stares deep into the window to his soul and tries to get a read on him. After a bit, she realizes she has absolutely no idea then speaks slowly. "The Starfinder society? They stand for truth, justice, and the absalom way! If you are willing to meet with the Izalguun and express your apologies for the damage, and commit to righting those wrongs... possibly through cooperation with the Starfinder Society as I have elected... then I do believe we will have come to an accord..."

Fexia thrusts the personal comm device with the message towards the doctor. "Are you familiar with the Hellknight Order of the Scourge? Our reputation? Then know that I will not deal with forgeries and falsehoods. Read this and tell me you wish to align yourself with these agents of corruption."

She makes absolutely certain that when releasing the comm unit for inspection that the doctor gets a nice view of her claws, and a pretty good idea regarding her grip strength.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

"I am willing to take you at your word Doctor Monsylkis... if you should choose to align yourself as such, I will deal as deemed necessary. If you choose not to, I would gladly facilitate a meeting with the Izalguun such that you can fully comprehend the impact of this station and begin a path towards remediation."

Fexia, once content that the battlefield is secured, snaps to attention to address Dr. Monsylkis. "Message from Snapjack to Farvenzi... Protocol is clear. Make sure the Doctor doesn't notice. Ambush at the choke point. Dr. Monsylkis, I shall grant you the benefit of doubt and address you as a victim of subterfuge. This site exudes corruption upon lands to which you have no claim. By the power vested in me by the Hellknight Order of the Scourge, I must see to it that the corruption is purged. I offer you the opportunity to assist in remediation with the Izalguun."

She does not once break eye contact with the Doctor...

Fexia quickly begins to move about the battlefield, checking for signs of life on any of their assailants. "While their deaths may be warranted, justice demands that they be given the benefit of trial should they be apprehended alive. Please assist me in identifying any attending to any living assailants."

At 18 Stamina

Fexia swings her lash across Farvenzi's shins, then with a thought, causes it to flick back for a return strike.

Lash, Full Attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 4 = 21
Dmg E, NL: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Lash, Full Attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 4 = 22
Dmg E, NL: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

"Do as you must Ceolor. I shall risk the flames if it ensures the purge of this corruption!"

Fexia is willing to be caught in your supernova.

Fexia does her best to insert herself between Blinky's unconcious form and Farvenzi. "I cannot guarantee that I will hold up much longer than Blinky, but I shall try to keep the foe's focus."

She bellows as she takes per position, "Dragon's whelp... by the authority vested in me by the Hellknight Order of the Scourge and Queen Jadnura of the Starfinder Society, I bring down judgement upon you!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Lash vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Damage, E, NL: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Fexia grits her mandibles and utters a formian curse. She drops her rifle to the ground and leaps at Spinjack, drawing her lash as she falls and sticking the landing with one fist to the ground.

Athletics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

She uses the reach of her lash to grab onto Spinjack's leg and attempt to administer a hefty jolt of electricity.

Attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Damage, E, NL: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
At 35/46 Stamina

Fexia uses the corner of the walkway for cover to avoid the worst of the blast, then moves down the wall to return fire.

Using Star Knight's Challenge to move, demoralize, and shoot.

"I recommend yielding immediately. I do not fire warning shots. And you had best do so before Blinky finishes with your compatriot. If one quarter of what I have read about Koalas are true, you have a very painful future ahead."

Intimidate (Demoralize, DC 15 + 1.5x CR): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage, Fire: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Fexia moves slowly down the wall, putting her lash away and drawing her rifle again. "This tower is a blight on the region, spreading it's corruption into lands controlled by the surrounding tribes. It will be disabled with or without your consent. I urge you to consider a strategic withdrawl. I will not grant additional time for consideration."

Stow weapon, move/draw other weapon.

Fexia steps forward, pulling out her neural lash as she advances. She cracks it menacingly as she makes her slow and deliberate advance.

"It appears you require additional..." CRACK ...encouragement."

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage, Nonlethal Electric: 1d4 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Note, this is a reach weapon, so any attempt to back off and shoot will likely be met with an AoO

Fexia clicks on her magboots. "We come to negotiate the cessation of activities resulting in adverse effects on properties of which you have no claim nor jurisdiction. These negotiations are a courtesy. Your immediate cooperation is strongly encouraged as no additional time for consideration has been allocated."

She begins to make her way up the walls to begin... negotiations.

I'm assuming there is a metal segment somewhere to use my magboots on. I'm figuring that between my turn and surprise round I can turn on my magboots, find a good place to climb, and ascend. If the walls are completely nonmetallic, you can get rid of the +5 bonus below.

Athletics, magboots: 1d20 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 5 = 26

Fexia puts on her armor as Hellih praises her performance. "The problem with the Izalguun is they always try to walk it in..."

With her last latch place she stands to full height. "Blinky, I do believe you have midjudged these creatures. They accepted my challenge, held fast to their rules, acknowledged the victory of a foe, and to the best of my knowledge, have not misrepresented their technological capabilities... rather they are hyper-specialized. The researchers however have encroached on the local residents land are now expanding their influence into their territory in a manner that would justify war. They have misrepresented their goals and funding to us, and have thereby given up the benefit of doubt. I will however give them the benefit of a surgical removal of this corruption with minimal loss of life. Should the offending party make this impractical, my judgement may be amended to a harsher standard."

She stands back and covers Blinky and Hellih's advance, watching them through the scope of her rifle.

Fexia does her best to observe the rules of the game to the letter. She occasionally underestimates her own strength, being used to the weight of her armor, but does her best to keep her actions precise and calculated... as a Hellknight should.
