Khass's page

"Seems like sound advice to continue moving along, what do you think Zan? Shall we press forward?"

While discussing and reading to move on, Khass will get as much footage as they can.

Ready to move along

"Hmm, what are you?" Khass ponders aloud, while trying to identify the critter.

Nature: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Khass will turn their camera to make sure to get a shot of the creature.

"Ah, aren't you adorable."

Khass attempts to offer the creature something reasonable to eat.

Khass will try to get a look and see if they might know more about them.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Nature: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Seriously, I still have an annoyingly persistent cough/throat tickle and I first got sick more than a month ago. Luckily, that is all that is left.

So indeed, take care of yourself!

Power-3, luckily I remembered I had free space in my container for packing supplies. Zan, I am happy to follow your lead. And glad to stick together.

Khass will try to keep an eye out for anything notable, such as flora of fauna samples that seem worthwhile or any indications of sentient influence on the landscape.

They are otherwise focused on keeping steady pace with the others.

Also we should be prepared for Bears, since this is an arctic, not antarctic moon.

Khass has room to carry up to 2 bulk of camping supplies in their container and will pack up what they can.

When Khass finished packing and dressing as warmly as possible, they move to follow the others. Khass takes their Plasma caster in hand, and sets their camera to recording.

"Well, looks like we best make directly for the ruins, probably the best place to shelter that isn't the ship."

"We are headed to an unexplored arctic moon. Scans there show no signs of sapient life, but possible ruins. We don't really know anything more about it. It should be an interesting trip."

How sensitive is the nature of our mission? Khass is generally truthful and happy to share info, but I don't want to compromise anything.

"Your sun is rekindling? That sounds quite unusual. Zan, you have a connection to the stars, what do you think?"

Khass will motion to the others to feel free to add in to the conversation if they wish.

"Hello Daskar, my name is Khass. The Endless Horizon? That sounds familiar, but I can't place it. Feel free to tell me more. Also where are you headed on your travels if you don't mind my asking?"

Khass will move to communications and answers the hailing.

"Hello, This is the SFP-827, of the Starfinder Society."

Khass perks up when Zan comes to talk to them. They extend a hand in greeting. "Hello Zan, I am Khass. I come from Absalom Station. I know of Kasath, but not much else about it."

They ponder Zan's question for a bit.

"My upbringing really reliant upon myself, tricking folks into believing me a spell caster, was very lonely. After joining the society, making true friendships holds some true meaning for me. On a more superficial level," They indicate the camera, "building my following helps me connect to a large number of people. Speaking of which, do you mind recordings of yourself? I don't live stream; I edit and curate before my posts, so you'd have the opportunity to see anything that includes you before I make it live. I do provided unedited recording for the Society for record keeping though.

Also while that is a question, that is a general one that I try to check with everyone. For you Zan, Tell me more of that instrument you were playing. Is a traditional Kasatha instrument? Is it something you do as a hobby, or is there more to it for you?"

Hello,

Sorry I had forgotten for a few days to check this. My family and I have all been sick and I just forgot.

Khass keeps their camera fliming as the group moves through the station. Taking in the sights of the busy K docks.

As they board the craft and AX-10-M moves to preform preflight checks and take the piloting position, and Power-3 starts their physical examinations, "Certainly no objections from me, I can also help pilot if needed, but prefer helping everyone stay focused. Great call on syncing up our comms. For now I'll check out the sensors and other computer systems."

Khass tries to make sure to get shots, with their camera, of everyone performing their duties on the ship, while somewhat over emphasizing the attention on themselves, and talking directly to the camera at times when it isn't obvious from view alone what is happening.

Khass pulls up the ships schematics on VAM-723, "Yup, it sure looks like it will be a cold one, and roughly 5 hours to get to structure from the planned landing spot. We'll certainly want to bring along the camping gear. If you want me to help haul that, I might have to leave one of my guns behind. These two weigh me down pretty severely."

Khass is best with social skills, decent with most dex skills and training in a scattering of int skills, but only a +1 int mod

Khass gets their camera out and set up.

"Alright, looks like it is time to head to the ship. Please let me know if you don't want recordings. As previously mentioned this isn't for a live stream. Anyone want to talk about how they are feeling about our mission?"

Khass begins to head toward the ship, while panning the camera across their companions. Lingering with the camera on anyone who speaks up.

Though reading about how temp works in space (just briefly last night), it appears that one doesn't actually cool off quickly due to lack of transfer other than radiation.

Either way, we'll deal with things as needed.

Zan, it is comforting to know you have survival knowledge. It seems like AX-10-M has piloting skill, and I can back them up if needed.

Turning towards Arvin.

I have no further questions and it sounds like we are as ready as possible.

Hmm, it appears much more difficult to protect oneself from the cold in Starfinder than in Pathfinder. There is no winter clothing option, no mention of protection from cold in the Environmental Protection section of armor (even though it mentions vacuum of space).

The Thermal Capacitor upgrade
Level 1 (120 credits) only protects mild cold and heat
Level 6 (1800 credits) to protect from severe cold and heat

takes a valuable armor upgrade slot, and for brand new, or nearly new characters even the level 1 is very expensive.

Using generalizations to avoid spoilers. Khass's previous mission involved installing perimeter beacons. Khass can be seen coordinating and motivating the group. Their expertise seems to be in motivation and support.

Khass stands up and addresses Venture Captain Arvin. They take down some notes as they speak.

"Head to the area, survey, look at the indicated structure, try to establish a good base camp site. Seems relatively straight forward.

Do you think the thin atmosphere or arctic climate will provide challenges for use to be ready for?"

They then turn to the others.

"Any of you have expertise in natural settings? I have a bit of training with primal magics and the natural world, but not with survival skills."

Khass moves to accept the handshake of the Kasatha. They greet the newcomer warmly.

"Hello Zan, my name is Khass. I only know that we have been summoned for a field mission. We'll learn the particulars when Venture Captain Arvin arrives for our briefing.

A few of us worked together recently on Akiton helping set up the new base there, but I think that was the only field mission any of us have been on so far."

Khass responds to Power-3, "While we didn't have any lasting injuries from our first mission, I did invest in some medical supplies with my earnings.

I'd happily adjust things as needed, and let any of you have a viewing/suggestions before upload"

Back

Khass stands up to greet the newcomer.

They extend a hand, Hello AX-10-M! It looks like we'll be working together. This is only my second assignment, and I am guessing we are all pretty new to this.

They turn and address the group, How do you all feel about recordings?

Khass spends their few days updating their social profile and making sure some of the action shots from their previous mission look right.

A tall slender Lashunta in microcord armor, that looks more style than substance, enters just a few minutes before the scheduled meeting. They are carrying a few large guns and a curved knife known as a talon.

Khass speaks with a boisterous enthusiasm, "Power-3 and Risiria!"

Khass waves in greeting to the two Starfinders. "Its a pleasure to see you both again. While Akiton has its charm, I do like the amenities that are available here on Absalom Station. Any idea what kind of mission we are going on this time?"

I am treating Risiria, as if they were the same individual on the previous adventure we played together, but let me know if I should instead treat them as someone new after their rebuild

Reporting for my second mission!

Thank you for the game!

Thank you Nimar for the treatment! I feel much better. Lets collect a sample to bring back in case folks can learn anything from these and be prepared for any similar future surprises.

Much like Duhch, Khass moves to get a clear shot. 1 action stride

One left to go, lets get em

2 actions to get them with leading by example

Attack with Plasma Caster: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Fire Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Regardless of whether the Strike hits, you and your allies gain a +1 status bonus to damage on subsequent Strikes made against the enemy until the start of your next turn.

Wow the dice bot has been really hot for this character overall

It might not matter, but looks like only Mimzalee has added the +1 status bonus to attack rolls that Khass has provided

Khass strides over to get a clear line of fire. 1 action

Look out, Get that one! They point at and fire on the red one.

Two actions to Get them, with Lead By Example

Attack with Plasma Caster: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Fire Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Regardless of whether the Strike hits, you and your allies gain a +1 status bonus to damage on subsequent Strikes made against the enemy until the start of your next turn.

Thank you for the assistance Nimar, it is appreciated.

Khass will reload one of the projectile ammo into their stellar cannon, and leave the rest of the supplies for others.

Hmm, what is next? I guess reporting back in to headquarters and see if there is something else for us to work on?

Khass will swap to their plasma caster (one action),

And direct their allies to Get Em' on the last ooze, leading by example. (2 actions)

Attack with Plasma Caster: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Fire Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

you and your allies gain a +1 status bonus to damage on subsequent Strikes made against the enemy until the start of your next turn

He then physically reaches out to touch Khass to heal her as well.
[dice=heal, 1 action] 1d8 well crap..

It is appreciated thanks!

Khass will drop their flashlight (free action to release).

Then they will issue a directive to Ready Arms! and lead by example. (2 actions)

You and all allies within 30 feet can Interact to draw, Switch Hands, or swap weapons as a reaction.

If you used two actions, you can Strike, Area Fire, or Auto-Fire with a weapon you drew or swapped to (including by changing active set of hands). If your Strike hits or if a target failed its save against your Area Fire or Auto-Fire, one ally can make a Strike against the same target as a reaction.

They will use their reaction to draw a Stellar Cannon, and area fire catching blue and yellow.

Piercing Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 2 Reflex DC 17 for half

If either target fails one ally can make a strike against it as a reaction. I am not sure of the best ally or the one most able to react in this way

Last Khass will stride back behind their allies. (1 action)

Khass will carry one of the grenades in their hand, since they are also carrying a flashlight. Following the others as indicated in the marching order.

They have no need for the shield, and will leave the second grenade for someone else.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Hmm, I'll install one of those in my plasma caster.

Piloting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

What is that?

Khass will stow thier Plasma Caster, and draw out a commercial flashlight and turn it on.

I can try to use my knowledge of vehicles and fuel to help abate the spilled fuel, but I'll have to get close.

They will attempt to make use of the soil from Power-3 to cover to fuel.

Piloting: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12

Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Nature Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Medicine Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Perception Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Nature Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

”I’ve found a couple of broken syringes, but can’t make anything out of them or the bodies”

Nature: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Khass racks their brain to come up with something examining the storm.

"It looks like the Wreck of the Returned is leaking magical energy into the surrounding territory, and probably stirred up the underground creatures.

Khass will maintain searching, and making sure their Plasma Caster is in hand

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Khass seems to dance along the rolling surface, easily keeping their feet.

They will prime thier plasma caster for a big shot. one action to boost

"Lets get that one!"

Khass will coordinate the group to attack Blue and fire on it. two actions to Get 'Em

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 = 25

Fire Damage: 1d8 + 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + (9) + 4 = 20

Khass's allies have a +1 status bonus to attacks and damage against Blue

Khass will move to the edge of the storm and attempt to disrupt it the storm.

Nature Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Khass Studies the phenomena.

Nature: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"Hmm, I do not know what this is."

Khass will try and navigate the route.

Piloting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Society: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"Nice to meet you Kiha."

Khass looks in the backpack.

"I think this upgrade should be installed for someone that likes to get up close and personal, which certainly isn't me.

It looks like we are scouting out one of the routes to the Wreck of the Returned next. So may we all have safe travels!"

Khass will continue with her trickery.

Deception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Oh how the dice bot has turned on us

Khass will see if she can fool the boundary markers.

Deception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Khass will attempt to calculate optimal alignments

Piloting Check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
