Johnny Rico's page

Sweet! Thanks for the game and getting it done before Gameday!

Johnny steps up and fires his pistol at the remaining boss goblin dude.

Step, Shoot boss.

Tactical Semi-Auto Pistol vs. KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 for Magic/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Johnny fires again, not against keeping his distance in this fight.

Shoot Goblin 1, full attack because why not.

Tactical Semi-Auto Pistol vs. KAC - FA: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 3 - 4 = 10 for Magic/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Tactical Semi-Auto Pistol vs. KAC - FA: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 3 - 4 = 17 for Magic/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Johnny moves up, getting off the bridge and fires at the closest goblin.

Move, Attack Goblin 1.

Tactical Semi-Auto Pistol vs. KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 for Magic/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Johnny attempts to lead the way, showing off his amazing climbing skills.

Athletics DC 15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

I hope I don't climb right into some giant beast's mouth. This mission is not going super well for me on the 'not getting eaten' front.

Reflex DC 9: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Splash... sizzle...

"Finally, stupid oozes. Thanks Mr. Dwarf, got any healing serums on ya or the ability to heal me with your magical clerical powers? That'd be pretty cool."

He begins resting... again. (1 RP to restore his SP, 1/4 RP remain)

Reflex DC 9: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Johnny ducks the expected spray and steps to the side so he doesn't keep getting hit by every single acid splash. "Keep it up, we got em on the run... er wiggle or whatever ooze's do." He swings his hammer again.

Which of the three ooze's is down?

Assault Hammer vs. KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Reflex DC 9 for 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Reflex DC 9 for 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Just barely unable to dodge the exoskeleton scorching liquid, Johnny is at least happy he isn't dead... yet!

Johnny hacks at the ooze and then waits for inevitable death as their best fighter is down and out. "I TELL YOU ALL WHAT, I AIN'T GIVING UP JUST WHEN ONE OF US DROPS, I'M GONNA GO DOWN SWINGING!!!"

Assault Hammer vs. KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Johnny fires his pistol at the largest ooze and steps up, brandishing his hammer.

Shoot Ooze Boss, Step Up.

Tactical Semi-Auto Pistol vs. KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 for Magic/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Johnny slams back a serum and begins to rest... again! He muses to the camera crew, "Honestly, this is pretty realistic for actual combat. Long periods of boredom and rest. Frantic fast battles where no one really knows what is going on. Then boredom again. I have a feeling this won't be our last battle though, lotta people are probably interested in this place." He smacks his mandibles together in disgust, "and these serums are disgusting!"

MK 1 Serum of Healing drank for 1d8 ⇒ 1 HP back (0/1 left) & 1 RP used to rest (2/4 left).

Johnny takes another blow and reels back, quipping to his allies, "If I die, make sure my corpse looks great at the funeral! Everyone better be howling with sadness too!" He swings his hammer at the dwarf in front of him.

Assault Hammer vs. KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The viewers break to a commercial for a new datapad...

<<View Commercial>>

LOL!

Johnny takes a step back, levels his pistol at one of the dwarves and attempts to shoot him in the face, "TAKE THAT YOU DIRTY DWARF SIMULATION!"

Guarded Step back, Shoot south at Dwarf.

Tactical Semi-Auto Pistol vs. KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 for Magic/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Athletics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Johhny easily traverses the ledge, "This way you all! Watch your footing."

________________________________________________________________

Running across the rough crass dwarves he introduces himself, "Howdy, Johnny Rico here. You say that a test of martial skills will let us past? Okay then, let's do this!"

He waits patiently for combat to start.

Johnny takes a deep breath as the creature falls, checking to see if his antenna are still attached. He holds pressure on the wound and sits to take a rest and let his natural healing kick in to stop the bleeding.

He slowly turns to the camera and nods, "Yea, that was it right there. In that fell creature's grasp I was pretty sure I was a goner. But at the back of my mind I just heard a little voice, "trust yer trainin', trust yer team!" That was my little reminder I needed to push on through. My drill sergeant, gods rest his soul, still helping me beyond the grave. I knew that I just had to keep fighting and it would all fall in place. Never give up, y'know?"

Take 10 minutes and burn 1 resolve to rest/restore Stamina.

With an exoskeleton cracking sound and antenna vibrating screech from the Shirren, the beast maims Johnny. Swinging more as a distraction then anything else, he still tries to do a bit of damage before stepping back and hollering, "little help here!"

Attack with Assault Hammer, Guarded Step back.

Assault Hammer vs. KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Johnny slips around behind and past the violent doshko swinging Lashunta, I do not want to be on the receiving end of that weapon... or her ire! He brings his hammer to bear on whichever goblin still stands.

Move 15 ft, Attack Red Goblin if still alive, otherwise attack Blue Goblin.

Assault Hammer vs. KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The Shirren's adrenaline pumps as the creatures attack his ally and he simply yells, "BATTLE!!!"

Rushing forward, he slips his hammer into his other hand and stops, just outside the range of one of the goblins. The mercenary points his pistol at the little grinning face, squeezing the trigger until "BLAM!"

Move while drawing Assault Hammer (route shown w/ yellow line), Standard to attack easternmost G.

Tactical Semi-Auto Pistol vs. KAC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 for Magic/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 6

I'll be pretty busy this coming weekend. Probably won't post on Saturday or Sunday.

Which knowledge check for Goblins? Would we know if they are creatures we can negotiate with?

Johnny clacks his mandibles chortling, ”Silly man, in zero g everything is wall, floor and ceiling too. See? Four walls.”

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Johnny pops in, whispering on their secure comms, "They are professional cameramen, they aren't supposed to startle, it messes up the recordings."

He turns to the group and waves them forwards, "Onwards! Someone may be hurt and if not, explosions are usually where we find the action!" While indicating to hurry, he continues forwards at his slow and quiet pace, trying to keep the advantage of stealth. His mind is racing with adrenaline, this is definitely going to turn into something, I doubt I'm going to need to play up to the TV much more. I just hope my allies are ready for combat.

I only have the Core book, so I'm not including any of the extra stuff from Armory & Whatever.

But I gear out most of my PC's with the following right off the bat.

Combat Gear MK 1 Serum of Healing & Medpatch, Armor, Weapon (ideally have a fusion on my primary weapon)

Other Gear Everyday Clothing, Field Rations (1 week), Flashlight, Hygiene kit, Personal Comm Unit (aka cell phone), Toolkits for Disguise, Profession (Whatever) & Navigation, Mass Produced Tent, Consumer Backpack, Credstick (with remaining credits)

Some of the other gear can be dropped, depending on carrying capacity. You can also get an industrial backpack to up said capacity a tiny bit. Those who use weapons are wise to get a variety of types. I made a major mistake on my first PC having only a laser pistol and ended up fighting fire immune enemies. Had to try to hack them up with a survival knife and it did not go well. Starting with only 1k credits though can limit a lot of things though so don't stress too much.

Johnny humphs, "Yeah, that's really interesting. But I think we'd better keep an eye out for the creators and whoever is vandalizing this place. That's what'll kill us if we let it."

He also angles to get as many camera shots on himself, even slowly pulling out his pistol and making a point to obviously rack a round into the chamber. He points it and his flashlight down the dark hall and slowly and quietly works his way along as point-man.

He drops his voice to a calculated tense whisper, "Now, cut the chatter and let's move."

Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 (Blindsense 30 ft)

Ah, it's good to have a couple Icon Theme's along on this mission for sure, lol!

Johnny adds a few questions, "So, how do we get there? Any guesses as to what we might expect? Any supplies to be sent with us?"

Johnny merely smiles and replies, "Ah, I see. Well I'm happy you are willing to put your feelings to the side for the mission." He assures the group, "I am not like the hordes of bugs that have swarmed to war with the pact worlds in the past. I prize my individuality much to highly to fall to the trap of colony think."

He looks back to Minea and adds,

Quite excited by the prospect of signing a document in blood with a legit broadcasting company, Johnny moves up to glance at the document. Seeing Gustav use Ryan's pen, he seems a bit dejected but still signs. "Yeah, uh pen and ink. Right that makes more sense. BUT HEY WE GET TO BE ON TV!!!"

He introduces himself to the rest of the pathfinders with a strong gripped insectile claw-shake, "Johnny Rico, hero of the Battle of Kes-Vax. We stick together, remember our training and we'll all make it through."

A short Shirren enters the room and listens intently to the briefing. Looking sharp in a military style dress uniform, he isn't as disgusting as most insects. The gross parts are still there, sure. Weird mandibles, antennae twitching constantly, hard exoskeleton instead of soft skin or fur.

He moves up and reaches out to shake Zo!'s hand with a smile, "Johnny Rico, pleased to meet you! You all run my favorite show, Mercs (tm). I kept hoping to get you in with my crew, but well war is war and there ain't going back after what happened. Anyway, I'm twitching for the opportunity to shine on your show."

Brand new PC's for myself and Minea.

Minea and Johnny are ready to go, just waiting on an intro scene to post in gameplay. We are both ghost-dotted in.

That was a nice little intro Gustav, I enjoyed it.
