Ketch "Catchy" Arl's page

I'm starting a session of 1-02 Fugitives on the Red Planet over on the Myth-Weavers board. Come over and explore, report, and pilot space ships.

Ketch would love to return home to visit Akiton and is on his way over to Mythweavers right now

Was witness to Aegis-9 near total destruction and all round general awesome RP

A small Ysoki enters the lodge, a tiny drone whirring silently above his head.
My kind of place JJ, the Ysoki says, My kind of place.

He orders a juice from the bar and takes a seat before perusing his recent papers and credits from his recent Starfinder assignment. Barely escaped with our lives from that one my mechanical friend he thinks.

Level 1 Ysoki Mechanic available now for SFS duty

Profession: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Ah that’s cool! Do I just do that between games and add the amount to my credits then?

Thanks all

Faction: Exo Guardians

Day Job: Mathematician - Not clear to me what I do with this though? Do I have to roll or something? Sorry for being a bit dim!

sorry GM - I'm a bit new to this. What information do you need from me?

This was bloody terrifying! Great work GM and I’ve learnt lots from you all

And I too, would like to pay my respects, and not least to my fellow Starfinders here, whose bravery and selflessness allows me to stand here and make this request

Catchy dashes over to Doku. Hang in there my mystical friend

Grabbing at one of the serums, Cathcy tries to stem the bleeding

Medicine: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

sorry Gm . I did post an attack but was waiting for it to be resolved. Will update first thing GMT as out at moment with wife!

sorry for delay GM and fellow players

Catchy, in pain and barely concious, draws his pistol and fires at the creature

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Catchy is still staring solemnly as JJ's broken pieces, Aegis's words echoing around his head as he hears a crunch, a screech of metal being torn open and then JJ's lights dimming again.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Catchy screams as the larvae bury themselves into his fur. He feels them drive into his skin and he vomits before collapsing to the floor

Noob question. If I fail the fort save I take 11 damage right? So I'm unconcious and dying?

Catchy limps over to JJ. Don't worry buddy, we'll get you fixed right back up. I think . Catchy looks around at his companions. Never have I had the pleasure of fighting with such warriors

Catchy scoops up JJ Oh dear, what a mess old buddy

I am not sure where the other baton is but...

Will update at 12:00-13:00 GMT guys, sorry for the delay

I hear you Aegis! cries Catchy as he unleashes a round at the creature I'd like to say it's been a pleasure but, you know...

Tactical pistol attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

With pain from his wounds coursing through his Ysoki body, Catchy moves past Gunzz move action 10ft west draws his pistol and shoots at the creature Triune bless and guide me, Aegis is in trouble.

Attack with tactical pistol: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

FACEPALM

Hi guys. I’m back home in UK now after 12 hour journey. Updates coming back on GMT time

I’m an intelligent Ysoki. I have three Doctorates. I lecture on the most challenging mathematical drift technologies in the Pact Worlds, but please, for the love of Golarion, why won’t you just die?

Catchy swings at the creature. Eat baton!

Attack with baton: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

1....1?! Why!?? The Dice Gods will be getting a strongly worded letter of complaint from this Ysoki

Catchy writhes in pain and sorrow from the attack but manages to throw Aegis' the baton. Smack him hard Aegis!

Assume throwing Aegis the baton was a standard action so I can't fire my weapon also

I just met Aegis in real life

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6377030148633563136

[ooc] Yes, Aegis one. What is TPK? [\ooc]

Catchy grabs the baton, looking on with sadness at the crumpled heap of Aegis lying next to JJ. Here Aegis! Catchy throws Doku one of the three Medkits [ooc] Found in the locker rooms] and charges at the creature.

Have a piece of Akiton rage you ghostly s#~#bag. This one is for Aegis

Baton attack: 1d20 ⇒ 6
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Aegis! I can’t see it to shoot! screams Catchy. JJ! You know what to do!

JJ is outside the door so he will move to flank the creature by moving to the square directly north of it. I’m on my ipad and can’t seem to move the tokens. Aegis will get a +2 flanking bonus if he is making a melee attack but it doesn’t apply to JJ as he has a pistol

JJ Tactical Pistol: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

A crit, yay! Against an immune-to-crit creature, booo!

Wha...what happened thinks Catchy as the fog finally clears from his mind. He surveys the scene, and sees Aegis suffering at the hands of this...this thing.

Catchy recognises that the weapons are having limited effect, and feels the deep pulse of the approaching storm vibrate his whiskers.

'Tis with our minds that we must defeat it! He looks around, and sees the cables lying on the floor. If I could just...would that work? It would hurt but...he'd understand. Probably. But what if they are still live? Ah well, No time to waste.

Catchy dives to the floor, grabbing the power cables, he uses his sharp incisors to quickly gnaw at the protective coating and quickly exposes the wires Not live. Yet His Ysoki hands work furiously as Aegis screams in pain behind him. In a few seconds he stands, holding in his hand two sets of exposed wires. Now I just need something metal.

Aegis, please don't take this personally! Catchy launches himself at Aegis and connects one of the wires to Aegis' arm, then throws the other at the creature, hoping to short circuit the field.

Engineering Check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

GM - I have absolutely no idea if what I am proposing is reasonable or allowed, but I don't think we have as a group any access to magic so I'm going a bit leftfield!

Effects of confused state: 1d100 ⇒ 41

Catchy starts to rock back and forth, eyes darting around the room The strudel Aegis! You're going to burn the strudel if you don't turn the oven down! Oh bless the stars, have I taught you nothing about making strudel? What am I if not a master chef! Here, give me that apron you useless lump of metal. I'll MAKE THE STRUDEL MYSELF!... Catchy trails off, mixing an imaginary bowl of cake mixture

Am I right that damage is to SP first, then HP?

Great, now I have guilt! says Catchy, seeing the ethereal form attack Gunnz.

Will save: 1d20 ⇒ 6

A fog rolls over Catchy's mind Yes, AKiton. The market place. What an interesting place that was. Hello Aegis, what an interesting..oh look, a drone. Hello dro..hmm..did I ever receive payment for that lecture I gave on drift physics?

Effects of Confused state: 1d100 ⇒ 53

Hey everyone! Look! I have a GUN! Whoop! Let's see if it works!

Catchy points the gun and his own thigh This is going to be a hoot! and pulls the trigger

Damage to self: 1d8 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1

Okay, plan A it is!

Engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

This was my original roll

Agreed! I was disconnecting the battery from the training robot but bridge sounds good. Thanks for clarifying. Can I still use the previous roll?

As good a plan as any Catchy says, as he kneels down and attempts to take the batter out. Get ready

Engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Catchy pulls a frag from his belt pouch, rips the pin out with his teeth, smiles at the others and says I’ve always wanted to do that... before lobbing it at the turret.

Attack vs Turret: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

15ft Explode. Will save DC15 for half damage

In his excitement at pulling a Grenade pin with his teeth, Catchy overthrows the Grenade and it lands 30ft away from the turret.

Hmph. What a waste. I’m capable of so much more

Back in the UK, whoop! Bit confused - it is Catchy’s turn? Alos, I forgot about JJ, oops. I think I get two actions, is that right?

Sorry about my absence - been travelling across India and internet is intermittent at best. Apologies for lack of RP in this post

Catchy draws his tactical pistol and fires at the turret

Tactical Pistol: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 1 = 21 +1 from Aegis
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

What about that projector, does that have batteries?

Hi folks - about to get on a long haul flight to India so do feel free to bot me if i’m Quiet for a couple of days as I;m not sure what my internet connection will be like. I’m wondering two things: whether we can get the training robot to talk, or whether as GM suggests, we should do something with the batteries in the engine room. Speak soon fellow starfinders!

We have to crack that door Says Catchy. I wonder whether we should split up and look for it to save time. That storm is awful close.

Did we search the training room? I can'r recall

Hi guys and gals - Just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying this, thanks for all of your efforts!

I'm going to be travelling from the UK to India tomorrow and will be there a week. I have no reason to think that i won't be able to get on WiFi in the hotel but my posts are likely to be fewer for a few days. Please feel free to bot me if needed.

Wow, what a state. I can’t imagine just how unbearable it must have been on this ship in th final days Catchy trails off. JJ bleeps solemnly.

After a few seconds, Catchy says Let me see if I can get this module to talk to us

Eng Check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Ah, dammit. The wires have been cross-relayed and the polarisation is shot to bits. Even if I had all the time of an Akiton Summer, I’d never get this working. Lost cause folks Let’s check out the last door Or perhaps we could chat to BlueSKy101 back in the sparring room - it might have some answers

Frustrated, Catcy turns his attention to the locked compartments but stops, conscious that Aegis might not approve. Whaddy’a say Aegis? Is it against the all-code to pop a locker if it might help shed some light?

If Aegis is cool with it Eng check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

I'm pretty sure no-one's going to mind if we poke around in here for some evidence as to what in the Pact Worlds is going on. JJ, stay close and keep your sensors peeled. I'm going to see if I can get anything useful from that datapad before it dies

Computer check?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Man the dice are so unkind sometimes! If I can take 10, I will (if the battery will last that long..

Step aside folks, let me see if this door will yield to my Ysoki powers

Engineering check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Catchy studies the row of weapons, one eye on on the robot.
Engineering check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Hey guys? Take a look at the baton, the thinner, lighter one. I saw these once on Akiton in a flea market of all placed. It’s an Idaran Force Training Baton. It has passive nanoengineering embedded within its structure. You swing that baby hard enough through any atmosphere and it will creates an electromagnetic force. Just in case our robot’s mood hasn’t improved. Anyone know what he’s saying?

Let's do it Gunzz. Catchy moves up next to Gunzz and readies himself for the door opening [/b]

Well, that's a disappointing noise to hear says Catchy, drawing his gun and cocking it, ready.

Catchy whispers a few words to JJ and the drone beeps quietly in response.

Catchy lowers his voice to a whisper I suggest JJ checks out what he can hear from the northern door where the blood seems to go. He moves quieter than any of us can

Hi GM - any chance of a token for JJ the stealth drone? His stats are in my profile

Sorry. My daughter has been ill today. Will post GMT morning. Apologies

Just as Catchy is about to enter the airlock, JJ begins to bleep furiously above his head, almost in anger. What is it JJ? I miss something? Catchy calls out to the others Be there in a second before reexamining the computer console. Hmm..you're right JJ. I assumed that was an error in the code caused by repeated power surges but you may have a point. Catchy joins the others in the airlock. Hey folks, not to alarm you or anything, but I'm pretty sure we aren't the only ones alive on here. It may or not be a Kasatha.

I don’t much like the look of that storm says Catchy. It looks....malevolent With one eye nervously tracking the silent storm, Catchy tries to access the computers on the Struggle’s Scholar bride to see what he can find.

Computers Check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

8 from skills +2 from aid another. Sorry, I got confused with the beacon. I thought the beacon WAS the Struggle’s Scholar so I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be scanning. Apologies

Hmm...their computers are tougher than I expected. I suppose with four arms Kasatha’s have more ability to make hacking trickier for us engineering geniuses He winks at the rest of the crew. However, I am not to be defeated and I have managed to pull up the basic plans for the ship. Aegis, any luck at your console?

GM - if there is no urgent rush I would like to take 10 on the check but I didn’t because that storm looks awful close.....

Catchy arrives at the bridge, and sees the Honorbound skulking off into space. At least his managed to quit with his dignity, if not his hull and shield says Catchy. He notices the message on the screen and twirls one of his whiskers in contemplation hmmm...they're in some serious bother aren't they? That's if they're still alive after all this time. But we didn't come all this way just to fight an ugly lizard so we should continue tracking them as soon as we can get underway

Catchy has no use for either the armor or machine gun
