Izzip's page

Thanks for the Chronicle, Shifty - I didn't really feel like I earned it for this scenario since I couldn't regularly post. I obviously won't be able to continue with the game until my work schedule becomes less all-consuming, but I greatly enjoyed the game with you all!

Best of luck, Kommandos!

wait, STROKE?!?!?!?!

Stroke service - I’m on the stroke team in the hospital, which is the busiest service in the neurology department.

Checking back in, looks like J'Shun did everything right by Izzip's priorities. Does anyone know how many RP Izzip spent channeling and how much Wisdom drain they have now? I'm not sure how much it costs to fix that in post-game, but I want to make sure I have enough credits for it.

Hey guys, sorry again for falling off the face of the earth. I'll try to get caught up on what's going on, but the next couple weeks will be tough (stroke, catching up on clinic, then night float) so please bot me as necessary to destroy all the undead.

I thought things would lighten up after my night float, but I’ve been working 13 hour days and this completely fell off my radar. I’ll try to do better, but after this scenario I may need to step away for a bit until my schedule becomes more manageable. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Izzip attempts to divine more information about the enemy ship. Magic Officer role, using Scrying as a scan action.

Mysticism DC 5 + 1-1/2 × the tier of the starship being scanned + its bonus from defensive countermeasures: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27

Izzip, who had been apparently out of commission for the start of combat, suddenly increases the volume of their chanting, trying to use Sarenrae's holy radiance to boost the ship's deflective countermeasures.

Acting as Magic Officer (Engineering phase), Izzip will spend 1 Resolve Point to conjure a mystic haze.

Mysticism 27: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30 - obscuring field garbles our opponent’s sensors and hinders their ability to gain information about our ship’s defenses and positioning, providing our starship a +1 enhancement bonus to AC until the end of the next round. In addition, the increased interference means all science officers on the opposing starship taking the scan or lock on actions before the end of the next round must roll twice for their checks and use the worse result.

Hey guys, I'm sorry for ghosting you. I was on night float, working from 5 pm to 7 am every day with only 8 hours outside the hospital, all of which were spent sleeping. I'm only just getting caught up on everything that happened while I was away.

With Dr. Helix hesitating to act on J'Shun's command, Izzip attempts to use their mystical scrying to amplify the baseline sensor activity and hone its imaging. Will use the Scrying ability to test the sensors, if possible - it functions like a scan, but uses Mysticism instead of Computers.

Mysticism 17: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31

"Aye Aye, Commander-J'Shun!" Izzip chimes in, tapping into their mystic connection to offer the crew additional insight. (Izzip can't offer magical power directly to the shields, but sees no reason to let that little detail get in the way of a fun team-building exercise).Magic Officer role, ideally will use Precognition to help with the Piloting check, but since it's not an opposed check Shifty may not allow it. If not, will use the Scrying ability to scan the asteroid field.

Mysticism (DC 22 for Precognition, DC 17 for Scrying): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34

Izzip buckles in next to the android supervisor. ”So if everyone on your team is mechanical, do you still need to do team-building exercises and seminars? Or does everyone just get logistics updates downloaded at work?”

So sorry, I know your pain - we just had a good long sad today thinking about our Jazzy girl. Losing a pet is an exquisite kind of heartbreak.

”How about the Summersword? Isn’t that the name of your clan? Since you led the charge in getting this off the ground, it seems appropriate - plus Sarenrae would approve of anything with ‘summer’ in the name!”

”I’m no gunner, but the mining laser seems inspired by Sarenrae herself! Just look at it - a beam of focused light, cutting through stone, steel, shield, or servant of darkness all at once? The Dawnflower would surely approve!”

”I understand, Shipwright-Tsorsk, sometimes purpose can be just as therapeutic as a holiday - though if you want to talk about you want to mourn your lost companions, I am happy to provide spiritual services on behalf of the Dawnflower’s grace.”

Izzip also looks quizzically at the android, suspecting that he is far too well-dressed to be here meeting with them for the Starfinder’s own good.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

The inquisitive Izzip quickly reads through Vyv’s dossier before going out among the Starfinder engineers at various watercoolers to ask further questions, uncovering a few extra points of interest. All discoverable info revealed.

Izzip jumps up and down, getting slightly less air time due to the added weight of his new dermal plating. ”Oh what fun! It’s not often a priest of Sarenrae gets first crack at a a new starship prototype - I’ll have to brag about it to my Weydanite friends on my HolyHub group chat!”

Chronicles!

Next scenario starting shortly!

Awesome, thanks Shifty!

FYI, Izzip will be using one of their check boxes from his AbadarCorp Agmentations boon on their first Chronicle sheet (1-10: The Half-Alive Streets) to purchase mk 2 dermal plating and cardiac accelerator augmentations with a 20% discount between these two scenarios.

Can Izzip roll a Day Job check for the next scenario? If so:

Profession (chef): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 - 26 credits

If Izzip casts wisp ally to distract the beast with a mote of light, would that qualify as a successful skill check to distract it?

Before Rastar burns his serum of healing...

Izzip hops over the Rastar and lays hands on his wounds, which start to glow with golden light. Cast a 3rd-level mystic cure spell to heal 5d8+6 damage.

Healing: 5d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 3, 3, 3, 3) + 6 = 25

With a deep breath, Izzip calls upon Sarenrae’s zeal in one last effort to drive the assailants off the escaping platform. Move Action to step forward, Standard Action to cast force blast again on all the enemy worms (DC 19).

Force Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5
Bull Rush 1: 1d20 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 6 = 29 - Move enemies 5 feet back (to the left and off the platform, if possible) for every 5 by which your attack exceeds the creature’s KAC + 8

"Sorry, no space for space-worms!" Izzip cries, as he once again attempts to push the beasts off the platform. Move Action to step forward, Standard Action to cast force blast again on all the enemy worms (DC 19). Using Communalism to roll twice and take the best result on the Bull Rush roll.

Force Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8
Bull Rush 1: 1d20 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 6 = 21
Bull Rush 2: 1d20 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 6 = 15 - Move enemies 5 feet back for every 5 by which your attack exceeds the creature’s KAC + 8

Izzip sees the enemy worms crowd around their allies on the platform, and attempts to use a blast of magical force to launch the beasts off. Standard Action to case force blast on all the enemy worms (DC 19).

Force Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9
Bull Rush: 1d20 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 6 = 30 - Move enemies 5 feet back for every 5 by which your attack exceeds the creature’s KAC + 8

Hey everyone, sorry I've been absent. We had to say goodbye to our beloved 15 year old dog on Saturday, and we maximized our time with her in the week leading up to it. We're still grieving, and it's been tough to muster the energy for much beyond feeding ourselves at this point. Please bot me as needed, and I'll drop back in when I can.

Izzip blanches at the sight of J'Shun being pinned down by the massive worm's tongue, and quickly evaluates what is more likely to force the beast to release the commander. Although the Pegasus' lasers will likely pack the most punch, Izzip worries successfully targeting the tongue to rescue J'Shun will be extremely difficult. Instead, they run up next to the commander and attempt to use Sarenrae's magic to force the tongue off.

I'm having a hard time visualizing the scene, but I imagine that the option to direct Pegasus laser fire only applies against the leviathan itself, not its tongue that's small enough to be in a hand-to-hand encounter. Preferred course is a Move Action to move near J'Shun, Standard Action to cast force blast on the tongue, hopefully to push it away and relieve the pinned condition. If that would seem like folly, then Izzip will instead try to guide Fitch's laser to successfully target the worm (Perception is +17, so add 3 to the Bull Rush result).

Force Damage (Reflex half): 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

Bull Rush: 1d20 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 6 = 26

Izzip's antennae droop. "I'm pretty quick on my feet, but I don't know enough about computers to get the data if something goes wrong. Maybe I can take over Doctor-Helix's job of helping Doctor-Tsorsk catch up on her medicine make it out okay, and Doctor-Helix can fly out with the data?"

Izzip bounces over to where the captive scientists are held, keeping an eye out for any more blob monsters or other surprises lurking in the rafters. "Sarenrae's light shine upon you all, fearless researchers! On behalf of the Starfinder Society, we are here to rescue survivors of the tragedy that befell this station, as well as to learn more about the aforementioned tragedy. Any information you can offer to further us on this quest would be much appreciated!"

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

Reflex 18: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 - Izzip takes 21 Electricity damage

Izzip manages to duck behind Rastar, letting the front-line kasatha take the brunt of the breath weapon while the mystic sends out another healing surge.

Start turn with Lifelink ability to heal Rastar 8 hp and take 8 hp damage, Full Action to spend 1 RP to heal 6d8 hp to all Allie’s within 30 feet with Healing Channel.

Healing: 6d8 ⇒ (3, 7, 5, 1, 8, 3) = 27

With J’Shun taking the hit on the chin, Izzip changes focus from healing to dishing out Sarenrae’s righteous justice.

Full Action to full attack with pistol.

Thunderstrike Sonic Pistol (16/20): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 4 = 18
Sonic Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Thunderstrike Sonic Pistol (14/20): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 4 = 24
Sonic Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Crit Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2 plus deafen (for whatever that’s worth)

Sorry for the delay, I have 3 extremely time-intensive rotations back to back over the next couple months and I’ve been struggling to keep updating everything.

Izzip holds tight while the battle rages on, waiting for the assailing ooze to expend its energy before siphoning more of Rastar’s pain and releasing a massive healing burst.

Start turn with Lifelink ability to heal Rastar 8 hp and take 8 hp damage, Full Action to spend 1 RP to heal 6d8 hp to all Allie’s within 30 feet with Healing Channel.

Healing: 6d8 ⇒ (8, 2, 1, 3, 4, 3) = 21

Izzip flinches away from the blast of slime before once again transferring some of Rastar's injuries to themself. They wave at the scientists while refocusing their spell on the attacker. "Hey folks! Any helpful tips on what we might be dealing with here?!"

Start turn with Lifelink ability to heal Rastar 8 hp and take 8 hp damage, Move Action to move, Standard Action to concentrate on predict foe spell.

Ooooh, I didn’t see that they don’t rely on sight. In that case I’ll cast predict foe to help Rastar.

I put a border for where I think the fog cloud should be, but I'm open to other options if anyone has other ideas.

Thunderstrike pistol in hand, Izzip runs up behind Rastar and tries to transfer some of Rastar's injuries onto their own body. They then draw power from some of the experimental magitech to fill the room with a mystical fog, mimicking the gas giant's atmospheric gases.

Start turn with Lifelink ability to heal Rastar 8 hp and take 8 hp damage, Move Action to move, Standard Action to cast fog cloud in room 20B to give concealment to all PCs but not to the ooze.

Medicine 15: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Mysticism 22: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21

"Fascinating! Looks like this poor critter got three whacks that did it in - one on the head, one against the wall right where that dent is, and... over its whole body, simultaneously? Like it got hugged to death? Not a terrible way to go!" Izzip peeks around the corpse while trying to get a closer look.

The shirren also points out a thing shiny patina on the creature's carapace. "Hold on, it looks like this thing has some sort of residue covering it as well..."

Woof, can I get any assists on that nat 1?

Sorry for ghosting, it's been a very tough week.

Izzip listens along, letting the more tech-savvy companions take the lead on questions concerning the infrastructure of the station. When a gap in the questioning occurs, Izzip asks the sprite, "Is there any information about what's happened here that you want to make sure we relay to the Pact World authorities?"

Not used to being in melee, Izzip takes a guarded step behind the creature and lashes out with their chitin blade.

Move action guarded step, Standard action attack.

Tactical Chitinblade: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

With the attacker surrounded and still slowed, Izzip holsters their pistol, hoping to save the battery for when they need it most. Instead, they reach behind their shoulder and draw the chitin blade they picked up on a prior excursion - if there is only one staggered enemy remaining, might as well finish it off without spending resources.

Move action to sheath thunderstrike sonic pistol, standard action to draw tactical chitinblade.

With two allies engaging the black creature and the gray one still slowed, Izzip jogs around the edge of the room to get a better shot while taking position to heal if necessary.

Move action to move, Standard action to shoot Black.

Thunderstrike Sonic Pistol (18/20): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Sonic Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Huzzah! Now we can run away and pick them off while they drag behind!" Izzip cries in triumph, not fully appreciating that not everyone here has an artificially enhanced movement speed. They twirl their sonic pistol in their claw and pop off a shot at the black creature lurching towards Rastar.

Move action to move, standard action to shoot.

Thunderstrike Sonic Pistol (20/20): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Sonic Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Not sure if Rastar is digging his heels in or not, but slow will likely be more effective if we move away and force them all to spend their turns moving at half-speed. They can't take reactions while staggered, so no risk of AoE.

"I suppose we all new this ambush was going to happen, nothing we could do to stop it from happening..." Izzip's antennae suddenly perk up. "...though there may be a way to slow it down!" The shirren calls on their goddess to dilate time around the ravenous interlopers.

Izzip casts slow on all the baddies, DC 20 negates.

Izzip looks at the biometric lock ponderously. "Doctor-Helix, could you do some of your gene-sciency stuff to make one of our limb-prints work to unlock this? I think Lieutenant-Isafira has the key card already!"

Izzip runs over to Helix. "Yikes, that's some burn! Unfortunately I can't heal the overweave, and the damage to your armor means the next blow might cut down to flesh. At least if that happens then I can fix that!"

Izzip can only heal HP damage, not SP.

Izzip stumbles as the station pitches beneath them. ”Right you are, Doctor-Helix, but this station is too big to just move more quickly and cover everything! Does anyone know where extra battery power might be stored on a station like this? Maybe we can find a sign or something pointing in the right direction!”

"Back in formation, we'll continue our sweep of the station. Be ready to encounter more of the creatures Dr. Helix has just described. They most likely won't be friendly."

Izzip follows along while looking around. "Maybe we should bring that mnecheli fern with us, then? If one tries to attack, we could offer it as a snack instead! If its animalistic maybe it would prefer the 'food' less likely to run away or fight back."

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

Izzip follows the military personnel inside, looking around while pondering what kind of creature or tool would be large enough to willingly cut off part of a space station.

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26

Life Science to recall knowledge (+5 if effect from a rare alien): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Reflex 16: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Izzip fires the jetpack just before smashing into the platform, leaving a smear of jet char on the landing pad but otherwise landing unharmed.

Izzip’s comm unit picks up the broadcast, and they angle their jetpack to follow Dr. Helix through the laser’s targeting area.

Fortitude 16: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Izzip evens out their cartwheeling as best they can to better aim their landing. As they lock on to the target, they wonder how terminal velocity works this far out in space near a gas giant, since there is no air friction against which to reach a maximum velocity.

Life Science 19: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Izzip’s exuberant cartwheeling isn’t just for their own amusement; they move in a pattern reminiscent of juvenile cloud rays, in order to appear less threatening.
