Kaiole's page

My chronicle looks good. Thank you again for the game!!

Thanks for running the game, GM Mjolbeard! Had a great time! And yes, was awesome running with a bunch of little folks!

Technically, moving to a different station occurs before the engineering phase so we shouldn't be able to move more people to the gunner position after we've determined that the flyby succeeded. It'd be too big an advantage...

"Nice flying and shooting!! Not yet a scratch on us!! Lets put a bit more UUUMPH! into the weapons!!"
Divert to Weapons, DC16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Damage rolls of 1 upgraded to 2 this round!

Hehe! *Thumbs Up*

Tchisk, I'm just wondering. Any reason why you don't try any action (at least evade) each round?

"No hull damage yet. Focusing on rear shields!"

Divert to shields, DC16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Restored 7 points to aft shields.

"Let's see if we can out maneuver those despicable pirates!"

Divert to engines, DC16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

An additional 2 speed has been added for this round.

So the Starboard, Port, and Aft shields all get 1 SP, and the forward shields get 2. In order to get the starboard shields back to full, the Science Officer will need to rebalance the shields.

This rule has been FAQ'd so that the engineer can restore shield points to any quadrant. FAQ link

"Let's patch those starboard shields!"

Divert to shields, DC16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Shields restored to full!

I get the feeling there is no escape from the enemy in this encounter...

Is our starboard shield still damaged or has it already regenerated?

"Job well done guys! Time to head home to Absalom Station and report in! Nothing can possibly go wrong now, right?"

Kaiole is ready to continue when everyone else is!

Mysticism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

"That's an iridescent spindle aeon stone. Seems we've found all there is to find - and what interesting discoveries!"

Are we able to recover the bodies to bring back with us?

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Looking at the ship, "Looks like she got hit with a coil or rail gun. They tried to maneuver her evasively in an alpha pattern but it appears their enemy was perfectly set up to counter that specific move so we should avoid that if we ever come up against the same enemy..."

Kaiole casts mind thrust again, this time sending images of the worm being hooked onto the end of a fishing hook to be used as fishbait!!

Mind Thrust, Will DC15 for half: 2d10 ⇒ (10, 10) = 20

Moved you straight up to within reach weapon range

Kaiole casts mind thrust and bombards the overgrown worm with images of an overgrown bird eating it!

Mind Thrust, Will DC15 for half: 2d10 ⇒ (2, 8) = 10

Mysticism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Kaiole takes two guarded steps away from the monstrosity.

Kaiole follows along keeping an eye out.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 4 = 16
Reflex: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 4 = 23
Reflex: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 4 = 12
Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

"That's some fancy flying there!"

Down on the surface, Kaiole says, "Deserts. Why is it always deserts?"

Survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Wow, look at those rolls...

Shall we stick to the same assignments? Kaiole was engineer... If I remember correctly.

I might be mistaken but I believe you can get only one chronicle for Filament with credit for the first three quests that are now completed.

Then you would have to switch to a different character if you want to finish the last two quests. Or you can continue with Filament but receive no credit for the last two quests.

I think this is the case due to the 'one chronicle per scenario per character' rule.

I'm assuming we're not aware of the presence of the last skeleton...

Not seeing any further threats at the moment, Kaiole moves up to join his teammates over by the computer terminal.

Kaiole moves up and takes cover around the corner of the corridor then fires off a laser pistol shot at purple.

Laser Pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Fire Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

But his aim is way, way, waaaaaay off....

"Yup, I'm ready to proceed forward when everyone else is!"

Kaiole is ready to move forward towards the bridge but will stay behind Master Filament as we advance

"Shoot our way to the bridge and recover ship coordinates. Got it! No questions from me!"

Kaiole is ready to go!

"Bah! They're trying to flee! Power to the engines!"

Engineering, Divert to Engines, DC 13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

"Bad luck with that last volley of gunfire... But I'll try to keep power up on weapons while we still have the advantage!!"

Engineering, Divert to Weapons, DC 13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

"They probably can't take much more, I'm thinking. Power to the weapons!!"

Engineering, Divert to Weapons, DC 13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Weapon damage dice rolls of 1 are bumped up to 2 for this round!

"Let's see if a bit more power to weapons can finish this off!"

Engineering, Divert to Weapons, DC 13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Unfortunately, Kaiole was distracted snacking on some potato chips and hit the wrong button...

The Divert action allocates the shields points evenly to all 4 quadrants of the shield, up to their maximum, with any excess going to the forward shields

This part of the divert to shields action was FAQ'd, allowing the engineer could allocate the restored shield points to any shield quadrant - along with an example in the next question. FAQ link (Of course the engineer doesn't have the ability to shift existing shield points as that action remains with the science officer)

I'll be travelling over the next 3 days, including some long haul flights. My posting may drop off so please go ahead and bot me if needed!

With damage under control, Kaiole decides to try topping off the shields.

Engineering, Divert to Shields DC13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Successfully diverting power to shields, Kaiole directs 3 shield points to be added to the forward arc.

Kaiole attempts to patch the power core again.

Patch Power Core, DC13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

"There we go, you beautiful ship!"

Patch Power Core, DC13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Kaiole attempts to patch up the power core but things don't quite click into place...

Ahhh...gotcha. Totally makes sense, thanks!!

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that shot did not yet cause critical damage. The ship's critical threshold is 11 and if we took 20 points of damage, then 10 was applied to the shields and 10 to our hull - just 1 point shy of critical damage. Of course, the next hull hit will definitely trigger critical damage...

"Woah!! Guys, think we can hit them back just as hard??"

Turning his attention back to the ship, Kaiole says, "C'mon, hold it together baby!!"

Engineering, Divert to Shields DC13, glitching -2: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 - 2 = 14
Seven shield points restored to fore.

I believe the engineering phase was skipped, so here's Kaiole's action this round

Engineering, Divert to engines DC13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Kaiole successfully diverts power to the engines, giving Tchisk 2 additional speed this turn.

Tchisk, you can move an additional 2 hexes

Throughout the trip, Kaiole will make little quality of life improvements to the interior of the ship. Adding a set of cabinets here, removing some closed off areas there, little ship equivalents to 'home improvements'.

If anyone asks him why he bothers, he replies, "Gotta keep my dayjob skills sharp even when off on a Starfinder mission, y'know?"

"No questions from me. I'm ready to to head out as soon as my teammates are!"

For starship combat, I can do engineering with +7. Or a +2 backup gunner.

"So hey, anyone has a clue how to access the data on this thing?" says Kaiole as he holds up the datapad.

Kaiole examines the datapad. If it requires computer skills to access, Kaiole will ask his teammates for assistance.

Kaiole examines Exegara to see if she may possibly still be alive and if not, searches the body.

Take 20 perception for 28 if needed

As a swift action, Kaiole stands up, then moves closer to Exegara, casting his last mind thrust at her!

Mind Thrust, DC15 Will for half: 2d10 ⇒ (9, 4) = 13

Seeing the blue mercenary advance, Kaiole shifts his focus and mind thrusts the blue one!

Mind Thrust, DC15 Will for half: 2d10 ⇒ (5, 9) = 14

Gotcha! Kaiole will move up to the edge, cast it on the green mercenary instead, then drop prone

Kaiole whispers back, "Alrighty, attack it is...."

Kaiole casts mind thrust at Exegara, forcing visions of a living, breathing version of herself on her!!!

Mind Thrust Damage, DC15 Will for half: 2d10 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

Kaiole then yells, "Give up or there's a lot more of where that came from!! We're small and grumpy, so don't test us!!!"

Kaiole whispers, "Do we engage them now with the element of surprise? Or do we talk to them first?"
