Since this campaign is closing, I figured I'd let you guys know about another TTRPG I'm involved in. Parhelion is a PF 1e Discord server with a living world where people take turns GMing. Your character levels up across quests and there are rewards for GMing that can help your character out. Click the link and take a look if that interests you. If you do, give me an @caster4life so I'm sure to see you came by and so I recognize who you are. We could use good rules for combat in Parhelion's Void (which is kind of like space in that living world), so I'm considering proposing to the admins a modified form of Starfinder ship combat. I could certainly use help with such an undertaking if I ever have the time to do it!
Janebok listens with great interest, cocking her head from side to side as Vari-13 speaks. "Thisss is of utmossst importanccce. It could be pivotal in helping defend the Pact Worlds againssst the Ssswarm. I would like to help with the research. Technomancccy could be mossst ussseful." Vari-13 does not find Janebok the easiest person to get along with but Janebok's utter focus on efficiency and problem-solving help them make great progress on the energy project over the next few years.
"Essskerat deeya nussssk!." Janebok curses in Vesk as Uchurtai falls. She moves to a better position, levels her rifle, and fires with calm menace at the gang leader.
Sorry to hear that! I've enjoyed playing with you guys. I will consider the future. I've pretty much moved off the Paizo boards at this point, unfortunately.
Janebok's shooting is not doing much but with cold rationality, she keeps doing it. This is her best option for helping at present.
Janebok hisses at the flames as she dodges out of the way, loathing extreme temperatures. Seeing Tezz drop, she targets the lesser officer next.
But the distraction of the flames leaves her aim shaky at best. She steps back to the north a bit in case the melee was about to come here way.
Janebok hisses "I mussst learn to cassst more ssspells..." and tries a shot at the furthest forward ganger.
Having trouble getting a good shot, Janebok boldly steps forward and fires her needler rifle at the flaming ganger.
Janebok sees the threat posed by the incoming waves and fires at the foremost attacker
Just FYI that I'm traveling for the holidays and will be spotty on my posting until January 2nd.
A holiday pause is fine with me too. It's going to be a busy, crazy December.
Janebok steps to the side and prepares to fire her needler rifle at any foe that enters her narrow line of sight through the corridor and her allies.
Yikes! Sorry about the wayward grease spell! I hope he recovers well!
Janebok decides to cast her last spell in preparation for this defense. "Thissss will help bottle them up."
Janebok fires her needler rifle at the foe past Uchurtai and essentially all of her other allies.
Do we maybe want an HQ with two ways in and out? In case we need to ditch?
The Shobhad's alone are a lot of mobile barricade. XD Though not quite as disposable as inanimate barricades.
Janebok starts piecing together scrap as well. "Unfortunate. Those 'null-unitsss' as you sssay are mossst disssruptive." She limps around on her staff, piecing together electronic pieces to give a nasty zap to troublesome interlopers.
Janebok nods to Zetara about the bracelet then points to the power core. "An unusual, experimental prototype. This was sssome kind of electrical engineering experimental laboratory."
Janebok tries casting baleful polymorph one last time.
Janebok snarls at the creature, her mind struggling against its own!
Janebok also lobs a splash of electricity toward the terrifying opponent.
Janebok begins casting a spell at the difficult enemy.
Cursing analytically in Vesk at the inefficacy of her kinetic attack, Janebok steps forward and hurls a small jolt of lightning at the foe but with poor aim.
The summoned robot is destroyed while Janebok stays back and fires again!
Janebok hisses in partial surprise. She expected trouble but this was odd. She waves the robot forward and it raises its sonic gun.
Janebok moves away from the creature and fires a ray of magical electricity at it.
Janebok shakes her head "That seems maladaptive. For Sssenkuviene, is it related to your hive inssstinctsss?"
Janebok cocks her head "I am unsssure why it would remind you of kin-asssssoccciated offssspring and engender kin care insssstinctsss."
Janebok completes the spell and summons a small robot as she heads into the room with the others, looking for trouble.
Janebook looks at the northern door then begins casting a spell, holding it prepared until right before opening the door.
Janebok dusts herself off and follows along.
Janebok nods, leveling herself to her feet with her rifle. She curses under her breath, barely audibly. Vesk and decent perception: "Blighted full G."
Janebok pulls out some dried, raw meat and chokes it down quickly then examines the exterior circuitry on Zetara's temples. "Yesss, fascinating. I can sssee how the problem arose. I cannot sssee how to prevent any further problems in the future. It sssseems your cccircuitry is prone to idiosssyncratic liabilites, like the fully organic counterparts. Ssssimply different liabilities."
Janebok nods respectfully to Zetara, fascinated by this information. "If you like, I would be interesssted to examine you. But you are likely to know your own nanoccccircuitry bessst."
Janebok chuckles gutturally deep in her throat in between wheezes from having run toward the battle in full G. "I sssseem to have missssed mossst of the matters of interessst. What form did your malfunction take? Can it be improved upon?"
Seeing that her mundane kinetic attack is ineffectual, Janebok switches to energy and shoots a minor jolt of lightning at the creature.
Knowing nothing of the mystic arts, Janebok rushes to help and queries "What does that mean? How do we harm them?" She moves to help and fires her needler rifle.
Sorry! I accidentally marked the posts as read and got distracted.
Sorry for my slowness again. Whole family was sick again, covid this time.
We will stick with it! No worries.
Janebok nods to Senkuviene. "We have diagnosssed the power builup. Thisss information may prove ussseful later."
Janebok hobbles forward and rips two auxiliary cables from the terminal, bites off the insulation, and connects them to the battery.
Janebok steps as the Shobhad's heft and swing their weapons around in demonstration. She sighs and rolls her reptilian eyes and waits for the demonstration to end. Then as she limps past them, she reaches up a long arm and pats each on the shoulder "Very good, very good. Sssave it for disssruptors of productive sssoccciety."
Janebok eyes the hammer. "Fassscinating...but not ideal for me."
Janebok starts collecting scrap and handing parts to the shobhads.
Janebok nods her head. "Thank you for the offer. As it happens, I joined the ssstewards three ten-days ago. This is my firssst sssolo asssssignment."
Janebok moves forward with Locket. "Interesssting. I wonder what made the food dissspensssers nonfunctional." She moves toward them to try to find the cause.
Janebok nods in agreement. "The Swarm is a plague upon us all. It is counterproductive for the Veskarium and Pact Worlds to do anything but unite against it." She moves to the personal. "I hatched in a space station in the Veskarium and grew up in low gravity." She gestures along her form down to her feet. "That is why I am longer and weaker than most of my kindred. There I learned many secrets of technology and a few of magic. When I learned the threat of the Swarm, I came to try to help the Pact Worlds work with the Veskarium, specifically through working with the Stewards."
