Kesred Tam's page

Kesred turns on all her 'Southern Charm' to try and get the severance pay due her from EJ Corp. "Now listen hear Sugah. There's a teeny tiny favor I have to ask of you. I've been a faithful employee of y'alls for awhile now...What's that honey chile? Oh it's been years since I first started working for the Comp'ny. So I reckon that you and I? We can figure out just what y'all owe me but it'll take most of the day and I just bet that your time is worth more than a hill o' beans, so why don't you just be a dear and get someone more high falutin', that way you're not stuck on this here call all day. What's that? You say you got just the person to help me? Well bless your heart." It quickly becomes clear to anyone who can hear her side of the conversation that her attempt to get her severance pay is not going well. It should also be noted for the record that the sphere of those who can hear her side of the conversation is growing as she keeps hitting the expected road blocks and she is losing her southern charm. Finally, saying something that would make her Grandmama wash her mouth out with a bar of dirt dredge and funk fumigant she throws her personal communicator across the ship where it lands close to Chases', amazing since they are in different areas on the ship.

Kez looks around at the group as she hears Ben agree to the terms and lets out a loud whoop of joy as she realizes that she is free from EJ and their corporatocracy. Then she settles down a little as it starts to sink in on her what that means for them all, the uncertainty of their future and the possibility of their little group breaking up.

"I've heard of Oliphaunts before, big nasty beasts with huge tusks and a nasty disposition. In the wild, they're seen with Whoozils." She says to no one in particular, just being her usual flippant self. Not sure if her opinion counts, matters, or is asked for she gives it anyway. "I'm tired of always needing to make choices between clients, EJ, and us. I say we go with us for a change."

"Y'all heard my boss!" Kez yells across to the rebels trying to take their cargo. "Now I tried to be nice, give you a chance to give up peaceably. The one who cuts my check tells me otherwise, y'all have no one to blame but yourselves for whatever happens next." She takes a shot at the same one she did before but this time aims center mass.

Looking at the shirran Kez sighs quietly. "These poor fools," she thinks to herself, "they're struggling to do what's right in their eyes and are so desperate to improve their lot in life. It's to bad we have to stop them." She takes the time to aim at his shoulder, hoping that a wounding blow will get him to back off.
"That was a warning shot! Back off or the next shot will hit!"
Laser Pistol: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Laser Pistol Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 = 8

Kez takes a moment to aim and then shoots again.
Laser Pistol: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Laser Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

Kez watches as the Dwarf reveals his true self. "Quit giving Hobgoblins a bad reputation, they've got enough PR problems already." She yells as she takes aim with her laser pistol.
Shooting with Bess: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Laser Pistol Damage: 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + (1) = 4

Seeing what Penny is thinking Kesred climbs up next to her in the back. "Easier to hit something when there's no roof to block you or a crowded space to shoot from." She says as she starts to scan the area.

Seeing the boss going down Kez decides to take care of that source of trouble instead. "Ben!", she cries out as she pulls out her gun and shoots at the Drowning.
Laser Pistol: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Laser Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Kez is confident that everyone else has the drow, no problem. Kez moves to grab the Gnome, trying to stop him from running.
Grappling the Gnome: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
I'm not sure if I did the Grapple right, I added my Athletics Skill to the roll.

"Cash up front or ya gets nothin'!" There is no way she's doing another job for free.

"We gonna drink here Captain? Or is this a social call?" Kez asks quietly, well quietly for her at least. Which means no one beyond the first few tables heard her.

"A job is a job. If we get paid well enough on this one we can go back and give Runo his pay, then maybe he takes down his complaint. If he's not willing to do that we keep the extra money and invest it in the Beedy."

"I'm a gonna just go help with that coffee. Who wants extra sugar?" She says as she sashays out the door.

Kez enters the ship completely unconcerned that she didn't kill even one of them. Taking off her suit and tossing it on a bench in front of Penny putting it away somewhat carefully, she turns to Ben and says with a smile. "Hey Captain! I think I got a scratch from one of those bug things. You wanna check me out?"

As Kez steps out onto the skin of the ship she takes a nervous glance around, trying to make sure to focus only on the Drift Leeches and not the incredible amount of space that is surrounding her right now.

Meanwhile Kez is standing by the airlock practicing patience by slapping her thighs while dancing in place and repeating in her sing-song voice. "We're going on a buuug hunt. We're gonna kill some spaaaace bugs. We need to saaave one. Katie wants to stuuudy it."

"Did you say bug hunt?! Gimme a sec." She puts her mug down, confident that no one will take a mug that says "I Like My Coffee Like I Like My Men...White & Weak", and rushes back to the room she shares, singing 'I'm going on a bug hunt, I'm going on a bug hunt.' as she goes.

She's going to hate herself for saying her next words but she knows that you can't bite the hand that feeds you, especially if that hand has a second hand that is hiding a giant hammer that it will smash you with, and a third hand that will hold you still while the second hand is smashing you with that giant hammer and a fourth hand that...wait that's stupid why would they have four hands, they would look so weird and then no one would want to work for them and then they'd go out of business and then...wait, wasn't I supposed to be doing something? Oh yeah! "Um, I vote that we pay off the evil overlords, I mean the soulless company, I mean EJ."

Kesred opens her eyes, wondering where she fell asleep this time. Sitting up slowly, she learned to do that after the third time she hit her head on a crossbar, and looks around at her surroundings. Fortunately she sees that she's fallen asleep in the cargo bay. Kesred has no idea why she falls asleep after battles where she doesn't have a kill but it's been that way for a long time, since her military days in fact. Tapping on her com, she tries to find out where the rest of the crew is and how dropping off the berries went.
"Hello? Captain? Boots? Chase? Anyone? What's going on?"

Certain that she can do better Kez moves closer and takes another shot at the goblin she shot at before.
Laser Beam at Goblin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Laser Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Pulling out her laser pistol Kez runs down the side of the cargo, going past Boots as she does so. Deciding she is close enough Kez takes aim at the goblin thief at the back corner, figuring that Boots was going to deal with the other one.
To hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Fire Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Kez jumps off the back of the rig and smiles at Chase and her fistigons "Damn! She loves those things." Truth be told so does Kez but they aren't for her. Checking to make sure that she has her weapons conveniently nearby she goes over to "help the old lady". "That's what we're calling beating up on Space Goblins these days."

Kez flexes and stretches and you can hear every joint in her arms pop. Then she smiles as the competition begins. Smiling and laughing the whole time, at the end of the five minutes, she gives Chase a hug and offers to help with her training.
Athletics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

"Hey Chase! Wanna see which of us cries 'Uncle' first? " Kez calls out in good natured but serious fun.

Kez snorts. "Science lab. What we really need is some big boom-booms." She says just loud enough to be heard but still quietly enough to claim that she was talking to herself.

"What if she needs to press three buttons at once?" She says sullenly. "You'd be real happy to have me up here then." But she does back off by several feet and, to distract herself from what is going on she mentally breaks down a gun, her hands going through the motions even though they are empty.

"Yeah sure, she's got this but what if the storm gots her? I am way to young to die. Besides I just got my 'do done just perfect and I don't want it smeared all over the pad" She doesn't relax, but she does back up a little and only points at newly flashing lights, not the ones that already were.

Kez stands just behind the pilot's chair, watching out the window at the rain. She wants to look at the ground and the surrounding scenery but the rain prevents that. Despite her having absolutely no piloting skills she still offers advice. "Look out for the...Don't hit the other...Yipes! How can you see!? Did you remember to flip the switch for the landing gear?" All the while she is pointing at various flashing and blinking lights on the console, making sure that everyone close by knows that they are flashing and blinking.
