Kōlēfō's page

Kōlēfō lets Will take the wheel and quickly scratches Chorizal's name off the hull as the ship is brought into dock. He accepts the compliments (and drinks) gracefully and is generous with his praise of the other teams.

Looking over the tube, the skittermander says, "Starfinders found Rasheen, we can find the Richpick!" Whether that actually happened or not is of little concern to him.

Chronicle looks good. Off to have a training montage because Kōlēfō, Superspy was always meant to be a bouncer, even though the background just came out (and if you get the reference, you played a really bad PS2 game.

Thanks for the great game, everybody, especially Kludde for running!

"Unramming speed!"

Piloting: 1d20 + 23 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 23 - 4 = 33

The skittermander makes a mad dash for the finish line.

Piloting, 1 Aid: 1d20 + 23 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 23 - 4 + 2 = 28

He might be thinking too hard about the book he intends to write about the race.

Profession: Writer: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (7) + 26 = 33
x4 Know Quality = 264 credits

The skittermander tries to keep the speeding boat on course.

Piloting: 1d20 + 23 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 23 - 4 = 37

"Faster! We can't let these scallywags prevent us from going home with the cup!"

Piloting: 1d20 + 23 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 23 - 4 = 23

"Thanks, don't think we will."

Trick Attack ≤ CR: 10 + 21 + 4 - 20 = 15 plus debilitating trick (off-target)
Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33
Piercing Damage: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 5, 5) + 5 = 17

Captain What a Drag gets another tricky bullet.

Piercing Damage: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 2, 1) + 5 = 13
Trick Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (8, 3, 7, 5) = 23

"The fight's almost over, but I don't think we're the ones 'nearly beaten'."

The dread pirate cummerbund can have another slug to the face.

THAC0 giveth and THAC0 taketh away.

Kōlēfō turns his attention to the captain.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

Do I get to roll percentile strength to add to that damage?

Are you referring to a specific rule? If so, which one?

Yes, but it's from a slightly different system...

Kōlēfō rushes into the opposite hallway, hoping to pin the scallywags down. He doesn't like his angle on Drag-o, so puts a round into the pirate in pink.

Kōlēfō activates his holographic clone in the stupid surprise round.

Images: 1d4 ⇒ 2

The busybody of skittermanders then moves in and fires their trusty semi-auto pistols at the corsair in blue, hoping to flatten his feet.

"I don't see Odrag around here to negotiate with, so you're better off talking to us."

Diplomacy, Aid: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24

The skittermander boards the Flyting Jenny quietly, hoping to position himself to do something unpleasant to the pirates before they notice him. 'Tie their shoelaces together' and 'blast them from point blank range' are currently tied for 'best plan'.

Stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (11) + 23 = 34

"Is it worth losing our morals over a race?" Kōlēfō practically shouts. You're not sure what is happening with the previously chipper skittermander, but he is clearly losing his cool.

"And why dos that distress signal sound like Abysshead?"

"Paying it back, surely? I'd like to think we'd do this anyway, but you already helped us out of a tight spot."

Kōlēfō boards the Solardarity...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24

...talks the crew through how they can assist the Starfinders in getting themselves free...

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

...and then goes back to the Atropos of Nothing to steer the combined ships out of the hazard.

Piloting: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31

Or dies horribly in the silt, since he doesn't have a reroll remaining.

Seeing the ship in danger, the skittermander yells to Will, who still has the conn, "Look! They're in danger! Hard to [that direction]!"

Kōlēfō takes the helm from Riker for the morning shift.

Piloting: 1d20 + 23 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 23 - 4 = 34

We have three operatives, so please everyone check what debuffs are being applied. No need to make anything triple-flat-footed.

Kōlēfō is not going to let the other operatives show him up. He tumbles away from the orange-skinned creature, picks a weapon that doesn't do damage he expects to be ineffective, and takes a shot.

Mobility, in case he draws an AoO.

Kōlēfō will pilot first shift, then offer the wheel to Riker so he can sleep.

Piloting: 1d20 + 23 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 23 - 4 = 39

He really appreciates the coffee gland he had installed. Or just has the hyperactivity of a skittermander. Either one.

"Let's see what all these mods can do!"

Piloting: 1d20 + 23 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 23 - 4 = 30 (aid checks not included)

"Maaaaaxiiiiiimuuuuuum staaaaaabiiiiiiiliiiiityyyyy!" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

"Maaaaaxiiiiiimuuuuuum speeeeeeeeeeeeeed!"

Piloting: 1d20 + 23 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 23 - 4 = 23 (aid checks not included)

"I said, 'Maaaaaxiiiiiimuuuuuum speeeeeeeeeeeeeed!'"

Piloting, Promotional Reroll, 2 Novas: 1d20 + 23 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 23 - 4 + 2 = 35 (aid checks not included)

The skittermander suggests they name their vessel the Atropos of Nothing.

Now out on the open water... dirt... whatever, Kōlēfō sets his mind to the task of using air to move a ship, rather than the more sensible thrusters that a starship has.

Piloting: 1d20 + 23 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 23 - 4 = 29 (aid checks not included)

The skittermander takes the wheel, trying to compensate for the idiosyncrasies in the ship that their speed-boosting mods introduced.

Piloting: 1d20 + 23 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 23 - 4 = 36 (aid checks not included)

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31

"That's mighty generous of you. I imagine people end this race up pretty parched. I admit, most of my piloting has been pretty far from ground of any type."

RACE FOR THE DUSTWARREN CUP

Looks like Kōlēfō has the best Piloting on the team at +23, and Chorizal and Riker can (at least sometimes) offset the penalty from the modifications with automatic Aid Another checks.

Kōlēfō spends a few minutes talking to Amek Na before being called to the shop floor.

He looks over the options for upgrading the ship. He definitely likes the look of the spyglass, and subvocalizes an "Arr! Avast!" before setting it down. He's less happy with the state of the cables holding everything together. At the end, though, he knows he wants to go fast fast fast, and trusts his skills and those of the other Starfinders to sail this thing through whatever bumpy ride redlining the engine might provide.

Suggested:
1 BP - Add Spyglass
1 BP - Maintain Rigging
2 BP - Increase Speed x2
2 BP - Upgrade Engine Tech
Effects: +4 Victory Points, +2 Acrobatics, +2 Athletics, +2 Engineering, +2 Perception, -4 Piloting

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

The skittermander is late out of the gate and does not participate in the hubbub for the moment.

Kōlēfō withdraws his offer of strawberry scented shampoo and instead shows his willingness to let them download Strawberry Machine Cake music onto their rig.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

No, that was in the transport. But I like the idea of goblins just being used to calling everyone else 'longshanks'.

The skittermander looks down at his legs, in case they suddenly grew by a meter. Satisfied that he has not been mutated, he moves closer. "That looks like good stuff, though I still have a little bit of strawberry-scented shampoo left over from my last job if you'd like to try it."

Kōlēfō responds, "Ooh, was that Grand Theft Skimmer? I loved that one, but couldn't get past the mission with the holographic chinchilla."

After talking with Mimli and the other Starfinders, he wanders toward the goblins. "Not easy being green," he remarks faux-casually, taking a look at their vehicle and tools.

A tall, lanky figure in a trenchcoat and fedora staggers into the passenger cabin. All of this features are obscured until he reaches one of the open chairs. Then, with an exaggerated motion, he casts off his coat, revealing a green-furred skittermander on stilts, a backpack with an assortment of handguns dangling from the straps. He leans one stilt against the wall and splits the other in half, revealing that a part was actually a cane. He rummages around in his sack for a moment, retrieving an antique quill and paper notebook, then takes a seat.

"Name's Kōlēfō," he says, a wide grin splitting his beard. "I bet we're all about to be part of a great story." He pauses a moment, before adding, "And it sounds like a dry one this time. Suits me fine. I think Tari is going to be charging me by the gallon for shampoo from now on..."

Profession (Writer): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (2) + 23 = 25 (if that doesn't apply, Culture is 5 points lower.)

Working now, and the chronicle looks good.

Thanks for a great game, everyone, especially Nomadical for running!

Sadly, I cannot open the gift. Maybe you have to tell Google we are entitled to party favors?

"You don't have to ask me twice."

The skittermander does his best to test the limits of "all-you-can-eat" and ends up asking Tarifa for more from her travel bag than shampoo.

Kōlēfō is also a Known Quality.

Profession (Writer): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24

His latest novel ends up in the clearance rack within weeks, but still earns him 192 credits.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

"Can't wait to see what other people find here! I have a stellifera friend who would probably be great for this job!"

Spoiler: other than having a swim speed, Khubelu would be awful for this job.

"We done with being seafood for a while?"

The skittermander bangs on the side of the computer. "Can't this thing go any faster?" He clearly thinks it's time to Speed Up.

Auto-aid Piloting

Kōlēfō tries to sound like a whale.

Bluff if I can get away with it: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28
Life Science if not: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

+2 of vocal modulator helps

Kōlēfō bangs the side of the computer, but at least it did move them in the right direction.

He ponders if his vocal modulator combined with a Bluff or Life Science check (ideally the former) could allow him to sound like another eel enough to distract their pursuer.

If not, he will auto-aid Tari's bluff-grenade.

I will note that the Autopilot is better than any of us. Maybe we should all just aid friend computer?

But if not, the helm is yours, Grump.

Kōlēfō is the logical choie for pilot, but I have failed something like a dozen skill checks in a row in the other game I'm in with Nomadical and don't have my reroll available, so maybe someone with 1 point less would like to take the wheel.

"Everything I was using checks out, though I suspect I'll be taking a week cleaning and repairing my gear after this. After a nice long, hot shower with Tarifa's shampoo, ideally."

Kōlēfō will take a look at the eggs. He hopes to learn how long it will be until they hatch, but is not expecting much.

Life Science: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
