Kalhoun, Tac Officer's page

Can this game be deactivated?

Chronicle looks good.

Thanks for a pair of great games, everyone, especially Kludde for running!

See you all at rehearsal!

I knew that was Lindsey Stirling before I clicked, though I always remember her for her video game music.

What do you think, Amy? Out of the Nest 325? I think an Arnisellen Nova-folk Aquacore would be a big hit.

What are Stell's and Amy's intruments? Kalhoun has a bass guitar formerly owned by Tsuchi-ko.

She invites Amy to participate.

Kalhoun plays his bass sadly in the corner...

Profession (Musician): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26

Kalhoun salutes the ghost. "It is our mandate to learn as much as we can and share it with the galaxy. Arniselle's story will not be lost, no matter how long it takes."

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Kalhoun begins to reattune, fires at the ghost and then turns away.

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 vs. EAC

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Kalhoun ain't afraid of no ghosts...

Will Save, Shirt Reroll, 3 Novas: 1d20 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 3 = 20

He powers up his proton pack solarian attunement and blasts the ghost, being careful not to cross the streams.

Electricity Damage: 6d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 6, 4, 1) = 23
Fort DC 17 half

Anyone remember this ditty?

We come in peace
Shoot to kill
Shoot to kill
Shoot to kill
We come in peace
Shoot to kill, men!

There's jinsul on the starboard bow...

Is the ghost in Hinevera's space?

Kalhoun continues to attune and tries to find out what concentrated sound will do to a spirit.

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 vs. EAC
Sonic Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

Kalhoun hugs the corner, drawing in ambient electricity in case violence is unavoidable. Still, he does all he can to prevent that eventuality.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

"Hinevera, this is Lt. Kalhoun of the Stewards. This team and myself assisted you when the Manta Corps fell to Oshessa. We are here to assist once again."

Let's go.

I think Kalhoun only took 1 damage. If that's the case, eh will not bother healing now.

Since the creature has not resumed its reflective form, Kalhoun can unleash his attuned energy at it.

Electricity Damage: 6d8 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 1, 6, 3) = 14
Fort DC 17 half

*bzzt*

"Hm, that usually is a bit more exciting than bzzzt..."

Kalhoun may regret not getting all his weapons modified.

Static Arc Pistol: 1d20 + 9 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 4 - 4 = 13 vs. EAC
Electricity Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7/2

Static Arc Pistol: 1d20 + 9 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 4 - 4 = 21 vs. EAC
Electricity Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5/2

He continues to attune for a potential big attack next round.

Kalhoun steps back, begins reattuning, and pulls his statis arc pistol. it's not ideal, but he wants the baton in hand if the monster returns to its solid form.

Kalhoun hopes that his disruptive discharge won't be reflected back at him in this form, or the Stewards are going to be out one diplomatic dinosaur.

Electricity Damage: 6d8 ⇒ (8, 8, 5, 4, 4, 5) = 34
Fort DC 17 half

Can't do better than 24, so also waiting.

Kalhoun tries to determine the best way to attack this new form.

Life Science +9, Mysticism +4, Physical Science +6

Kalhoun finishes attuning, but holds the charge because it doesn't look particularly safe. Insead, he approaches the creature and draws his baton.

Attune and fire.

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 4 = 20

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 4 = 10
Sonic Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Kalhoun moves to the door, begins attuning himself to electricity and fires on the new creature.

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Sonic Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

Kalhoun wants to check the rooms for clues before departing.

Mysticism, Aid Another: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Twila, did you consider interpreting this sigil like so..."

Kalhoun pulls out a bass guitar, which he received directly from the hand of Tsuchi-ko of Strawberry Machine Cake, and plays some relaxing lo-fi beats while the other Starfinders apply their treatment.

Profession (Musician): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31

What's the point of being a Starfleet Stewards officer if you don't play a random instrument?

Kalhoun joins Dirk in talking to the Kalo. "If you think this is amazing, you should see what we can show you beyond this place."

Diplomacy, Aid Another: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Kalhoun's hireling tries a different tack for figuring out the mormalaw's intentions.

Culture: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

"Yes, we have worked with Suulhu-Hurr and their crew in the past, and have returned to assist further. Please tell us what you can."

Diplomacy, Aid Another: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

Life Science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Kalhoun slowly circles the perimeter, searching for any further danger.

Kalhoun continues unloading into the remaining monster as his attunement approaches its peak.

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 4 = 20 vs. EAC

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 4 = 14 vs. EAC
Sonic Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Kalhoun recognizes a team bordering on rout, and continues to attune while firing off two more shots.

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 9 - 4 = 22 vs. EAC
Sonic Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 4 = 20 vs. EAC
Sonic Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

"Fall back to behind my position. I can still take a lot of punishment."

Kalhoun begins reattuning and takes another shot at the nearest hostile.

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 vs. EAC
Sonic Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

Kalhoun finishes attuning, then immediately unleashes his Destructive Discharge at the reddish foe.

Electrical Damage: 6d8 ⇒ (3, 8, 8, 2, 6, 1) = 28
DC 17 Fortitude half

Kalhoun continues to absorb electricity from the environment. He swims a bit south before firing a shot at the nearer enemy.

Athletics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 vs. EAC
Sonic Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

One great attack with terrible damage, one great damage with terrible attack.

Kalhoun begins charging and then fires on the blue-tinted worm.

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 vs. EAC
Sonic Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

Life Science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

"Something acidic hit the bottom of the sub, though it did not get through the bulkhead."

"Best for the fusions to be used by those whose weapons will be most effective. Feel free to use it, Ms. Mercury."

Life Science, Aid Amy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Physical Science, Aid Amy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

"The rescue operation should be our priority. If there is no evidence that Hinevera is here, mark this location for future study."

Kalhoun will take the hydrojet of no one else is interested. He keeps an eye out for dangers that are less... stationary... than the one Amy avoided.

Kalhoun takes one of the crystals. "Thank you. It was an honor to work with Hinevera in the past, and we will do whatever we can to ensure the safety of her and her team."

"Are you aware of any dangers that may exist in the area that Hinevera and her team were exploring?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

Chronicle looks good. Collecting boons for species I won't get to play in this system...

Kalhoun remains at level 5 for the second part. Looking forward to it.

No day job for Kalhoun - he is Instructing a new recruit.

Looks like Kalhoun is the best at this, with multiple others able to assist automatically.

"It is disappointing what has happened here. We mourn the loss of the Manta Corps, but we also mourn the losses that you have suffered because of Oshessa's crimes. It is not our way to blame those who have been tricked into doing harm. Let us work together to recover from this sad incident and forge a new bond between your people and ours." He will then discuss the Starfinders' need for clophirium and negotiate an agreement to work together in the future.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35 plus any Aid Another provided by the others

Kalhoun moves out of sucker range and unleashes a Destructive Discharge at Oshessa.

Electricity Damage: 6d8 ⇒ (3, 1, 6, 8, 4, 4) = 26
Fort DC 17 half

Kalhoun is no sucker for suckers, but he needs more room to maneuver. He risks another hit to get out of the corner and fires at the other minion.

Underwater Thunderstrike Blindmark Rifle: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 vs. EAC
Sonic Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5
