Kato Oomsphere's page

"I wonder what happened to the residence of the cavern. Was the sterilization happening outside of the room? We should go check on the Mukfurs on our way out."

Kato would like to see if anything happened to the Yetis and ask them if they noticed anything different lately. Beyond that he is good to go.

"Looks like the Unicorn and Yetis are tied for dominance. I wonder what that means exactly... Talltree, while you keep working on these computers I will investigate the light in the center." Kato then moves to the middle of the room and investigates the structure that is creating the light.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

@GM A: I am not sure what would be the best check. Right now I am trying to see what it is doing and if it is dangerous I would like to stop it. Kato has a +8 engineering if that is more relevant.

"Oops. That can't be good. I recommend we activate our environmental protection in case this room tries to fill with gas." Kato will activate his environmental protection and try to gather some more information from the computer terminals as to what exactly is going on.

Computer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

With the help of Dora 34, Kato starts working at one of the consols trying to figure what it does.

I will keep that roll but add two for a total of 29.

Kato will walk around the inner chamber looking at the readouts and try to get a sense what exactly they are monitoring.

Computers: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

He then turns his attention to the energy node.

"Well let's go see what is beyond this mysterious door." Kato then moves to open the door.

In case it is looked I will roll an engineering check to try to open it.

Engineering: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

"Excellent! The ghost will no longer attack the Gnolls and Mukfurs so long as they remain out of the swamps. The Gnolls will offer food to the Mukfurs for a guarantee that they will not be attacked. The Mukfurs agree to all terms in the hopes that this will open the cavern and allow them to leave."

Kato looks up the 'sky' of the cavern and yells, "Sky drone or computer guy, it looks like we have negotiated mutual agreements between all three groups. Is the experiment over? I could really go for a Hashukayak burger."

"Perhaps we could make as deal as mukfurs but we are not leaders of the group. I not sure what they want from the gnolls. They seem happy to stay here."

Kato goes up to the leader of the mukfurs, Inc, and says, "The Gnolls are excellent farmers and they would like a treaty with the Mukfurs. It is terribly inefficient to keep reestablishing farms when the mukfurs pillage them. If there is something you would like from the gnolls they would be happy to provide it in exchange for security and peace. Perhaps the mukfurs could aid in the growing of food. It seems you are unable to cultivate your own food the gnolls could help with that. What do you want?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12hopefully with the aid of someone or preferably I am aiming some one who talks better

I agree. Should we negotiate between the gnolls and ghost first. The ghost will supply the gnolls with healing mushrooms and if they stay out of the swamp.

I am not sure if we are still in the swamp or not but if we move one the the gnolls this is what he will say.

We have met with the ghost of the swamp. They request that you remain put of the swamp and they will offer you a supply of the fungus you request in exchange. If you agree to these terms we will return to the ghosts and work on the specific conditions of the agreement.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Sorry I have been absent again. I went camping and forgot to let you know. Should be back now

Kato will follow through the barrier of thorns.

Survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

"This Yeti was electrically charged. These 'Ghosts' may have some type of electrical attack. If they were in fact killed by the ghosts. These puncture wounds could have come from these brambles and thorns or from their assailant. If you have protection from electricity, I suggest you use it.

survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

"Good eyes Dora. We should progress to the left of the bodies." Kato then continues to move around the bodies and futher into the forest after investigating the bodies.

Perception (investigate bodies): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

[b]"We should continue to follow this path. It is possible that these 'Ghosts' are shapeshifters. Perhaps they were hoofed and they changed here."[b] Kato says as he also begins to look upwards and around the area for any signs of where they went. If he does not see tracks or a pathway upwards or a secret door of some sort he will continue to follow the path.

perception (looking for secret door or arial route): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Kato moves closer and investigates the dead gnolls. Looking around the area for any signs of who or what may have done this.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

"I see something, but I am unsure what it could be. Let me investigate closer." Kato says through the comms as he activates his environmental protection. He does not want to be caught in the fumes of some vent and this mist has him on edge.

He approaches the figure trying to find who or what it is.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

"I hear is too. It does not sound very promising. Be on guard everyone and let us advance."

Kato begins to move forward through the mist towards the sounds looking on the ground and the forest around him for signs of what could have possibly made these sounds.

Survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Life Science: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Does this fungus resemble the one that was at the temple?

"An alliance may not be enough. I believe for this experiment to end each faction has to either be exterminated or submit to another faction. An alliance is not domination, it is cohabitation. Nonetheless, we would be happy to aid you in collecting the medicine required. We have come across some interesting fungus along our travels already. At a site known as the temple. What do you know of that site?"

Kato sits down with the rest of them and starts sipping the soup. In between bites, he says, "Are you aware that this world is an experiment? When we first arrived we were greeted by a voice explaining how to leave. What do you know of this."

"Is there anyone else here other than you, the mukfurs and the ghosts?"

sense motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Kato will aid in the diplomacy

"We also want to know where we are and who you are. As mentioned we are lost explorers who mean no harm."

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"I suppose this "temple" will stay sealed until the experiment is complete. However, our goal is not necessarily to end the experiment but to understand this place. Let's go to the village in the distance."

Kato will take a closer look at the fungus.

life science: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

I did have one more question for the bot if it is not too late.
"Mister Drone, has any of the factions submitted to the others yet? If so which ones? Also how long has this experiment been running?"

Back at the temple
"I do not recommend we eat experimental moon mushrooms just yet. Maybe grab some for later." Kato will walk around trying to look for an entrance. He is also looking for any traces of other inhabitants or life that could have come through here.

Kato comes out of the shadows and says, "Sorry I have been absent for the last little while. Those Mukfurs gave me the willies."

He moves up towards the drone and inspects it. "What exactly is this experiment? How has it changed? and how do we get out?"

Sorry I sorta dropped off the radar. Been a busy week. I should be a bit more reliable now.

"I see. Now that we are mucky they consider us Mukfurs. I curious to see where this is going?"

Kato puts away his portable chemical analyzer and says to the group a few passes away from the Mukfurs. "This may be one of the factions the message said to dominate but they could also be wild fauna. Helping them find smokeholes may aid us in building allies. Their size may be useful down the road. This would also allow us to explore the area further. What do you think Talltree, Dora, Vultur, and Sisyar"

I will preemptively roll survival in case the team agrees to search the area

Survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 an extra +4 if we are orienteering

Kato will approach one of the vents and attempt to identify the gas being released.

Physical Science (Chemistry): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 DC is reduced by 5 because chemistry is Kato's Theme Specialty

Let me know if you need me to roll more diplomacy rolls.

"Yes you are right. Would you mind escorting us there?"

"No we are not Mukfur. As Sisyar said we are from another World. I heard there is a temple here. What do you know about it? Also who else lives in this world?"

Kato comes out of his cover and sheepishly walks back to the rest of the group. "My name is Kato Oomsphere. I am an agent with of the Starfinder Society. We come in peace." Kato holds up the peace sign.
"We are here to learn about this place and its residents. Could you tell us who you are and what this place is?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

sense motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

"I knew someone else should have done the talking! Run" Kato says to himself as he runs past his group, "You don't have to outrun the Yeti, only the slowest one in the party." He then goes for cover some 50 feet beyond the edge of the camp and points his gun at the Yetis in case they don't stop at the edge of camp.

As the Shirren pushes Kato forward he murmurs to himself, "Well if no one else is speaking up I guess I will continue." He straightens up and says to the Yeti that might look in charge if there is one, "Yes we are peaceful and I hope you intend the same. What are you all doing here?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Seeing how the vents might be affecting the Yetis, Kato will activate the environmental protection on his armor.

Kato looks at the other members of the party hoping someone will take the lead in diplomatic talks. But he figures someone ought to get things started.

He lowers his weapon but still has it drawn, "Hello Strangers! We have come from the caves yonder. My name is Kato Oomsphere with the Starfinder Society. We are on a peaceful diplomatic mission. Being new to this place and we were hoping you could tell us about where we are and your selves."

"Excellent shall we go say hello?"

With this information, Kato will head back to the group let them know. "There is a village of Yetis. That is what is making those sounds. Their village is a complete mess. Yetis generally only live in cold places what are they doing here? Does anyone speak Yeti or have a translator of some kind?"

What does Kato know about Yetis? Are they civil? Could we talk to them or just avoid them?

Life Science: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Kato moves up quietly taking in all the sight. He is trying to figure out if these people attacked the village or are the residents.

"Off-course, that is why they brought me along. But be ready in case I come running back with a herd of aliens behind me. Let's make sure our comms are synced up first. This way I will be able to radio back." Kato pulls out his communication unit and ensures we are all set to the same group call. This way he will be able to radio for help or give the all-clear. Once that is all done, he will stealth up to the festivities to try to see what exactly is going on.

I vote festivities

Thanks for the heads up it is good to have an idea of the mood of the scenario.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

[whispering] "Perhaps we should sneak up on those sounds of festivities.

OOC: Did the cave disappeared behind us or is there still a way out

I was on an expedition that explores the dwarven vault. From what can remember it was a simulation that had been going on for eons. Maybe this vault is another such simulation. Maybe sometime of game, attack the enemy team and gain their territory. From the intro message, it seems that people were brought to this place without their knowledge or consent. The looks around trying to figure out the best and safest route to the temple.

Survival: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 including +4 from navigation tools, if those work in here

Agree the temple is a good place to start. Everyone, have your weapons ready. I expect we will be attacked by Party Central (tm).

With that Kato pulls out his Static Arc pistol in one hand and his nav gear in the other. He awaits the rest of the party before leading them to the temple.

A young human dressed in well-worn tactical gear and a wide-brimmed hat joins the rest of the group heading down to the vault. He raises his hand, "I have a question here. Has there been other vaults explored on this moon, and if so what has been found in them?"

Awesome thanks!

Not sure if I am too late. But I have been meaning to get back into sfs pbp.

I have a level 2 operative that would like to join.

Still need to finalise my character but it will be ready by the 4th

I am in for Into the Unknown. I have a couple of first level characters I could play. I would have to make some adjustments but I will be ready to go any time.

Yea kato should not have been using the baton. Oh well, too late now I guess.

Thanks Crunch for a great game!

Let me know if you are running another game. Kato would love to come along.
