Jindam Lightstream's page

I think I'm the only player that still hasn't played or run 1-06.

"What the heck is this noise?" Jindam yells over the din. After a few moments he shrugs and begins moshing. "At least it has a good beat!"

Jindam looks over his series of scrapes, bruises, sprains, cuts, acid burns, and hastily bandaged knee from the landing on that leap off a 30ft tower. "Yeah. A concert sounds like just my sort of mission. Or better yet, a quiet apartment overlooking Jetembe with a really nice tub."

Yes. Sorry for not saying it sooner, thank you so much for running. I had a fantastic time.

Yeah, that's why I asked. Since it didn't affect anything other than flavor I thought it might not be a problem.

"Thanks," Jindam replies, feeling the last of Iteration-177's magic bleed out of him. "It's shocking how well this went. I was honestly expecting another funeral sans corpse." He takes a knee to rest before beginning to bandage up the wounded.

Jindam high-fives Raatchet and low-fives Buff-Bot. "Great work on the devices. I think I'm going to title my next blog post, Team Sm0l 4Evah!"

Sorry for missing the end there. Yesterday at work began really slow but the next thing I knew it was 9pm and I was still working.

I'm running a couple games Wednesday for Paizocon myself (at Midnight Tuesday night and at noon Wednesday afternoon). I hope it turns out well (the con).

I should probably ask this on the Org Play discord, but it may have already been asked. I have a 4th level Mystic that's a GM baby (he's never been played at all, it's all GM credit). Would I be allowed to use that Kadrical Rises on it? It says 'new mystic', and I know in other cases that explicitly meant characters with 0xp, so I doubt it, but I wanted to ask in a place where I didn't have to worry about spoiling it for other people first.

Ooops. Sorry, I assumed cardinal directions matched the map facing. My bad.

@HMM Most of the information is correct. However, it was recommended that I slot First Skirmish at the start of the scenario, which I did as a Social Boon (because my Starship Boon was Defender of the Fleet). I don't remember getting anything off First Skirmish during the scenario (though, I honestly may have just missed them), but that would take the same slot as Instructor. Since I said I slotted it, though, my Day Job check would be 23 (I always take 10 on day job checks) for 46 extra credits.

"Out of the body and into the sausage. We gotta get that thing offa Ivok. Raatchet, head down the hill to the device over there." He says, pointing NW and down the ramp. "We'll try to draw it to you, and if we can't, they'll knock it the pronk out and I'll *BAMF* it over."

He then moves forward, yelling, "Би энд хамгийн цусан юм. Нүүрээ нааш ир, нааш ир! Ivok, you're the man, er, vesk. You were born for this."

I have him at ~40ft-50ft depending on which square he's in, so Inspiring Boost on Ivok for 18 SP back.

"Raatchet, be ready to *BAMF* on my signal."

I'm really not sweating it. I've run a special by PbP before. It's a lot to try to manage. You've been doing a fantastic job. Everything is cool on my end.

We did, but it's fine, there's a lot going on. I was going to move around to the other side of the device with Raatchet. It wouldn't have gotten to full attack, but it would have gotten an AOO, so it could have still hit twice, assuming it moved to follow on its turn.

Round 3 Action

Jindam moves around to the other side of the device, drawing a wicked slash from the creature and becoming entangled by its acid ooziness.

"Well that was bound to happen. Та өөрийнхөө дэлүүг заримыг нь миний гутлын дээр үлдээсэн!"

Clever Attack on yellow, with Entangle.
Bluff vs 10 + SM or 15 + 1-1/2 CR: 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 14 + (3) + 1 = 30 Possible +2 or +4 from Stain of the Perplexity.
Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs FFEAC: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 2 = 21
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 3) + 7 = 11

Round 4 Actions. I'm assuming it's going to hit me again after moving forward, to now be adjacent to the device and will take off the 19. I'm currently at 0SP/13HP.

"Raatchet. I think you know what to do. Get it. Та сонгодог алдаа гаргав. Үхлийн тайралтад хэзээ ч оролцож болохгүй!"

Get 'em and Clever Attack on yellow, with Entangled
Clever Attack on yellow, with Entangle.
Bluff vs 10 + SM or 15 + 1-1/2 CR: 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 14 + (3) + 1 = 34 Possible +2 or +4 from Stain of the Perplexity.
Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs FFEAC: 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 12 - 2 + 1 = 14
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 = 12

"I swear I had this damn thing serviced before we left."

"Reverse psychology. Hey, Битгий ойртох хэрэггүй!" Jindam says, "Таны ард сахиусан тэнгэр байна."

Get 'em and Clever attack on the nearest (yellow?) one.

Bluff vs 10 + SM or 15 + 1-1/2 CR: 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 14 + (2) + 1 = 29 Possible +2 or +4 from Stain of the Perplexity
Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs FFEAC: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 = 15
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 1) + 7 = 10

"Well, crap."

"Hoping to draw them here, but if not, yeppers."

Jindam hustles up the steps, screaming in Jinsul, "Бага зэргийн алдаанууд намайг олж чадахгүй байна! Тэд хэтэрхий их айж байна."

Double Move with Haste up the ramp to the central pillar.

Is the white 'ramp' that goes from the tower I'm on to the central tower a ramp 'up' from this tower to that one? or a ramp from the ground up? or a bridge, or what? I'd like to just walk up from this tower to that one, but I'm not sure from the description what that is.

Good catch. Hopefully that overrides the save so we can knock this out this round or next.

Jindam says, "I got the juice for one last trip," As he moves over to the godsblood corpse and attempts to *BAMF* with it back up to the tower with Raatchet.

I've moved my token, but I can't remember if they removed the 'unconscious targets are always willing' line in Starfinder or not, so I'm not sure if he gets a save and I'm not sure what the DC would be if he did.

Yeah, the post had everyone's name still in bold as needing to act so I was confused. I understand now. thanks.

Do we get another turn? I didn't see yellow take it's turn in that?

"Oh crap," Jindam says, seeing how bad off Duhm Kaoh is starting to look. "I hope we can use that things's corpse to do what we gotta. Raatchet, stay here and I'll go get it."

"This is gonna hurt," he adds, running in an arc and jumping off the tower to try to land as close to Duhm as he can.

Athletics Check, Roll equals distance horizontally jumped: 1d20 + 7 + 4 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 24 Includes bonuses from increased speed from haste. Because it's a grid, I'm going to treat that as 25ft.
Falling Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

*Cough* "That wasn't that bad. Duhm Kaoh, you got this."

Inspiring Boost on Duhm Kaoh for 18 Stamina back. He's 40ft from me, ish.

I meant did we get to repeat any of them. I wasn't sure how it worked.

Since we get to repeat, I'm fine with repeating either this one (to help with Dhurus) or the other one (which is close to the 50/50 mark so we have a chance to end early), either way.

Jindam glowers at Raatchet, then at Duhm. "Don't we have to get that thing up here to disable this contraption?" He asks, doublechecking the range on his rifle. "I think I only have juice for one more of those side steps."

He looks across at the very far away bugling and shrugs.

The trig I just did in my head on 2 hours of sleep says it's way farther than 60ft away when you consider height, so I'm unable to do any Envoy special stuff, I think.

"Hey, Duhm. Bring it up here, please."

Covering Fire on the Yellow one for Duhm

Covering Fire with Rifle vs AC 15: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 Wow...I can't believe I almost failed that. +2 to Duhm's AC vs the next attack from Yellow, IIRC.

I take it the announcement means the AT-AT one is done? Do we get to repeat? If so, I'm fine with either, assuming I survive this.

So do we get to repeat the ones we already did? Or if we finish each of the available ones are we done?

"So Ivok said we have to get these things next to a machine, right? Let's try to draw that one," he says, pointing at the one marked with a yellow tag, "To the device over there." Jindam adds, pointing to the tower to their NW.

Without waiting for an answer, he shifts his grip and reaches out to touch Raatchet and Duhm Kaoh and *BAMF!* the three of them are suddenly on the NW tower.

I've moved my token, I don't know if they're 'willing' or not.

As he shifts his grip back onto his rifle, he adds, "
За за, Buggy, алив аваад ирээрэй!"

I'm not sure if it's in 60ft or not because I am half asleep and can't do trigonometry right now, but if it is, that's Get 'Em on yellow.

I don't *POOF*, I *BAMF*. :P

The falling was because Raatchet asked to go 60ft up because he wanted to shoot the thing from the air. I did 30ft because I didn't have a fly speed. It's up to the GM if/how she wants to retcon any part of it. It looks like she said I didn't take it at all, so I'll fix that. But I'll keep my round of actions (after the fall) because that's probably what my character would have done for now regardless. I'll try the disable attempt on the next round if Raatchet doesn't succeed on theirs.

I don't have the ability to fly. So I'm going to put us 30ft above the central pillar and just take the falling damage.

Jindam feels the weird flow of Iteration-177's magic pulsing through him. Hearing Ivoks plan, he shifts his grip, touches Raatchet and Duhm Kaoh, twists reality around the three of them, putting them all 30ft above the central pillar. The shock of freefall immediately grabs him and he drops to the pillar adjacent to the oozelike thing.

Falling Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6

I'm only going to move my piece on the map. I'm assuming Raatchet and Duhm Kaoh are willing, but I don't know. Also, I believe the act of touching people is all part of the action of casting the spell/SLA as one standard, so I think I have a full round of actions left. Though I will spend a swift to regrab my rifle as I fall

"Howdy Dhurus. It's nice to get you!" He says as he lands, shifting his grip back on to his rifle. "Тэнд та бага зэрэг цус алдсан гэж бодож байна."

Get 'em and Clever attack on the ooze thingy.
Bluff vs 10 + SM or 15 + 1-1/2 CR: 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 14 + (3) + 1 = 36 +2 from Stain of Perplexity? Possibly +4 if this counts as influencing them and they count as Demons.
Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs FFEAC: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 1 = 24 Get 'em Included
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 5) + 7 = 17

I had slotted the High Society Influence boon.

Jindam walks over and grabs his corona laser rifle from where he dropped it, switching out the batteries on the rifle and his pistol for good measure. "I don't suppose we'd have time for a rest?" he quips, before following the group's lead.

I'm assuming we can't take a 10-minute rest to regain stamina here, but if that isn't correct, I'd like to do that.

Jindam tries to shake off the effects of the blinding light.

Will Save DC 17 Negates: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

His eyes clear, and he screams, "Чи үнэрлэхээс ч муу юм байна! Ингэх боломжтой юу? Somebody get this thing dead!"

Get 'em on it. Clever Attack on jinsul with Static Arc Pistol
Bluff vs 10 + SM or 15 + 1-1/2 CR: 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 14 + (3) + 1 = 33 Possibly +2 from Stain of the Perplexity
Attack with Static Arc Pistol vs FFEAC: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 1 = 14 With Get 'Em.
Electricity Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Well, at least he should be flat-footed for everyone's attacks.

Jindam tries to resist the magic spell.

Will Save, DC 20 Half: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 -25SP to me.

"Миний оюун ухаан таныхаас том юм, тэнэг!" He yells at the jinsul prophet.

He pushes through the pain towards the doom prophet, trying to resist the effect of his proximity.

Will Save, DC 17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Blinded, he adds, "Найзыхаа ард үнэрлэхийн тулд би харах шаардлагагүй байна." And he fires at the doom prophet from point blank.

Clever Attack on Doom Prophet with Static Arc Pistol
Bluff vs 10 + SM or 15 + 1-1/2 CR: 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 14 + (2) + 1 = 21 Possibly +2 for Stain of the Perplexity
Attack with Static Arc Pistol vs FFEAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Blinded Miss Chance, Looking for High: 1d100 ⇒ 75
Electricity Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Raatchet, my character has 10 batteries and 5 high capacity batteries on him, in addition to the one's in the weapons he carries. I've only been using the high capacity batteries thus far, and I've only gone through about a battery and a half this whole scenario, so if you needed to borrow one between missions, I could have covered it.

"статик нуман гар буу нүүрэнд юу гэж хэлэв?" Jindam asks aloud, in Jinsul as he drops his laser rifle, and moves around Ivok drawing his static arc pistol.

Movement may draw an AOO if it has reach and the door/wall doesn't provide cover for the movement.

"ZAP!"

Clever Attack on Devil with Static Arc Pistol from point blank range.
Bluff vs 10 + SM or 15 + 1-1/2 CR: 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 + (1) + 1 = 26 +2 to this from Stain of the Perplexity if it counts as trying to influence it.
Attack with Static Arc Pistol vs FFEAC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 EDIT: That should just be 23. I don't have weapon focus with small arms.
Electricity Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Are the 'walls' and stairs et al on the map 'real'? I'm going to move this turn assuming they are, but please correct me if this is wrong.

Jindam double-moves into the room behind Ivok. "I gotcher back, bro!"

Jindam jumps out of the way of the walker.

Reflex Save, DC 11 Don't roll a 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18 I didn't roll a 1

Seeing purple do the Wilhelm scream and go splat on the ground, and seeing the purple walker lurching like a drunk middle schooler at a dance, Jindam decides to attempt firing at the remaining uninjured mechanic instead after backing away from the walker.

Moved on map, haste still in effect, so move+full attack on Pink. I don't think there's a Get 'Em on it, but if there is, these are all at +2.
Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 12 - 4 = 20
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 2) + 7 = 15
Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 12 - 4 = 26
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 4) + 7 = 16

I forgot to include Improved Get 'em on my attacks and damage. I doubt a 15 hits it any more than a 13, but that should be 4 extra damage on the crit. You may have already included that.

"Just keep moving," Jindam says, primarily to himself but he forgot to turn off his open comm channel. He moves to get a better angle and fires twice again.

All of the below rolls will be at +2 if Buff-Bot refreshes improved Get 'Em.

Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 4 = 19
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 3) + 7 = 11
Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 12 - 4 = 9
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 4) + 7 = 12

Jindam continues to talk advantage of the pulsating haste effect, which makes time feel slower and his little legs a lot faster. He moves forward and takes another fishing expedition on the purple walker.

Sorry about missing the crit, I didn't realize you could crit vehicles with normal weapons.

Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 4 = 13
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 5) + 7 = 16
Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 12 - 4 = 28
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10
Crit Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 3) + 7 = 13
Burning Damage for its turn: 1d6 ⇒ 5 not that it will matter because of hardness

Jindam attempts to dodge the ramming mecha.

Reflex Save, DC 13: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 No whammy no whammy...Stop!

With the amphetamine rush of the haste rushing through him, Jindam pushes forward, attempting to go after the vehicle his friend isn't about to commandeer. He screams, "Tzigvigix!" as he moves.

This draws an AOO from the green walker if that's possible and possibly from the purple if it has reach. Already moved on the map the full 60ft of movement from haste. Taking a full attack on the purple one after movement.

Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 12 - 4 = 28
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 = 11
Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 12 - 4 = 22
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 = 12

"I think this thing needs a new focusing lense!" He curses as he realizes he did naught but scratch the other vehicle.

Are the Jinsul the 'pilots' of vehicles that they're inside, or are they riding the drones like mounts, or is this a 'power armor' situation. I ask because it affects whether I'm aiming at them or the walkers. If they're riding it, or it's power armor, I'm aiming at them, and if they're vehicles, I'm aiming at the vehicles.

Jindam moves forward but is unable to get close enough to really lead the team in a quick job. So, instead, he simply fires off a shot at the nearest warrior/walker.

Attack with Corona Laser Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 6) + 7 = 18

Part IV: A New Hope

I'm just curious who's joke this is. They deserve props.

"Holy schmokies, that thing is at the edge of the universe. I'll bring her around and head toward it." Jindam pushes the ship in a turn to bring us heading toward the new jinsul ship. He jukes and fades on the controls as he does so.

Piloting, Evade DC22: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21 Ouch. No dice. Moved on map.

Sorry, I didn't check this before taking my turn. If the plan is to slow roll them, I can do that. Though, having never played nor run this, I do have a minor worry that the appearance of further ships might be timed and we could end up having to fight more than one if we take too long. Just putting that out there.

We keep getting sub-5s for my init rolls, so I wouldn't count on us winning init.

Also, as a heads up, I have people coming out to my house tomorrow to replace my heat pump and clean my ducts. They said to expect it to take all day. I'm spending today cleaning my house and tomorrow dealing with that, so I won't be sitting in front of my computer and may miss a needed roll. Please please please, do not hesitate to bot me.

"Now they're lined up. Fly-by coming up, as requested." Jindam announces to the crew to prep for close flying.

Piloting Check, Flyby Attack DC27: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Moved on map. They're currently in our starboard but if they move they might end up in our forward. Either way, this should let us attack with at least one of our forward guns.

"I wonder if jinsul tastes as much like crab as they look." Jindam randomly comments, as he tries to avoid the disease.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

"I think I'm gonna hurl!" Jindam looks for a vomit bag while prepping to pilot the ship into the next combat. "Can I get one of them remove affliction potions? I'll save it for later if I can."

I'm not familiar with this disease, so I'm not sure if I'm latent or fatigued or what? I'm all for using the priming this combat. However, assuming the map is correct, there's no way we can do a flyby attack this round, so I'm just going to move and evade.

"Let's see if they like battle as much in a minute!" Jindam pushes the ship forward into a handbrake turn to starboard facing the enemy ship.

Piloting, Evade: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32 Not sure if I have any penalties here.

@HMM/BB9K You're both right. My brain is just wonky, today. Thank you both for the correction.

Has the jinsul toke actually moved on the map? It looks like it's in the same spot? If the jinsul token hasn't moved yet, I'm not sure what to do because I don't know their position. I'm going to put what I will do, assuming they've already moved, in a spoiler. If they haven't moved, please let me know when they have and I'll adjust what I do accordingly.

Much clearer now. Thank you @HMM. It looks to me like if I do a back-off, I'll go back 4 and I'm assuming he'd move forward 6, which would put us each in magic hexes which would mean we could target their forward/starboard with our forward/starboard and vice-versa. I don't see a better option for their movement, so I'm going to assume they'll do that and back off.

"Hold on to your butts, gentle-people."

Jindam slams the engines hard into reverse.

Piloting Check, Backoff: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34

With a lurch, the ship suddenly surges to aft.

Moved on map.

"It's all you, TK!"

TL gets piloting ranks and Evade boost as well as AC does. That should be 25 AC 24 TL for last round. 23/22 if I don't evade.

It's not clear to me from the slide show what hex the Jinsul is in or what direction he's facing currently. I'm not sure from where I see it right now how it shot us in our starboard arc (it's in our forward arc and a non-magic hex, right now). I want to take my turn, but what I would do would be based on his position and that isn't clear to me.

I'm looking at the map now and assuming he hasn't moved, he was in our front arc. How did he shoot us in our starboard arc? As far as I can tell, neither of us are in a magic hex based on current positions. I'm all for using the proposed boosts. Looking at the map though, it's hard to tell what direction the Jinsul is facing. If he's facing the left side of the map and I do a back off, I go left 4, he goes left 6, and he ends up in our starboard arc, not forward. I don't think a backoff is a good idea. The only way that works is if he's facing the NW hex face, which wouldn't have allowed it to fire its forward guns. I haven't moved anything yet because I'm not clear on the positions, currently.
