And they've fired at-will employees for much, much less. =)

I don't know anything about Paizo's structure, but upper management often has contracts even when low level employees don't. If so, they're bound by the contract terms as far as firing him goes.

Assuming they wanted to, of course.

That's a good point. And if that were the case—executives/high-level employees getting contractual protection while the lower-level employees don't—then that's a whole other problem in and of itself, IMO. =\

Ok. I just wanted to make sure. Keeping track of everything going on is so rough. Im sorry you went through that. You struck me as a cool person a good artist assuming Im not confusing you for someone else.

Lu is the best. Their a go-getter too. Whoever hires/hired them will be lucky to have them.

You have no idea how much that means coming from you, Lissa! T_T <3

Um is there anyone in the company capable of firing him? Since he's basically top of the pecking order.

One would hope Lisa might not like him being a walking, talking PR/HR disaster for the brand.

Yeah but can she actually just flat out fire him? (Not trying to be argumentative but I honestly have no idea how this works)

Wait were you fired or did you quit?

I quit.

Good to see that David "Refused to help me even once, in the several times I needed assistance while chronically ill, and was actually quite abrasive in all our communications" Reuland is on the leadership team lol

I feel like “Scientist” is describing a background, not a class.

Yes, I was trying to drum up images of academics that come to Terwa Lake, most likely to study the fauna (or maybe the ruins). =) Ija’s father Is an admin/escort of some kind that aids expedition groups in setting up camp near Kiutu, since it’s in a central location to a few points of interest.

What's a scientist?

This is HIGH FANTASY!!!

;P

Oops; my Starfinder is showing!!

The nonsequitaur has some real “I’M BABY D=<“ energy and I’m here for it

Congrats, power-ups and newbs!!

Yaaay! We're so lucky to have Kate! <3 For those of you attending Paizocon 2020: I'll see you there! ;)

Congrats to old friends and welcome to new friends!

This is usually where I'd say "Protect Velloro at all costs," but it seems like he has that covered. =P

Aw, schucks! Well thank you a ton!! ^_^

I am TERRIFIED of cows.

Grave Digger/Robber!

Rafflesia returns to the group, covered in all manner of mysterious, strange-smelling materials, arms full of junk. "Oh, did I miss the race?! I guess I got a little too carried away rummaging through that junk pile..."

Bolidas are horrifyingly gigantic centipedes? I beg to differ! They are ADORABLY gigantic centipedes! I mean, they can curl up into little balls and roll around Samus-Aran-style! That's so precious!

Haha, I’m glad you think so too! Also, Samus (and the gorons from Legend of Zelda) were totally the inspiration behind thier sweet roly-poly moves. =)

Round 1: Rafflesia excitedly rummages through the piles of junk for equipment to improve upon Laboni's racer.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Rafflesia giggles excitedly as she pulls out two scuffed-up flame decals from the pile and slaps them on the side of Laboni's junkcycle. For +5 to base speed. ;)

Round 2: Realizing she has no idea how any of the machinery works (and enjoying her time rummaging through the junk yard a little too much), Rafflesia decides to continue searching for upgrades in hopes that her friends might know how to implement her finds.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Round 3: Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Rafflesia scurries up to Null and drops what she believes to be a pair of small shields at their feet. "You'll know how to install these...thingamajigs on Jaboni's... motorbikeywhatsit, right?" For +2 to EAC and KAC

"Oh, this is just what I was hoping for! How fun! I think I know just the person to fake a death certificate..." Rafflesia grins mischievously.

Rafflesia's a coroner! Can I get a bonus for being "in the biz"? Hehe.

Rafflesia’s notched ears perk upon hearing the word “death.”

”What do you have in mind?” she squeaks excitedly.

Time to get to disintegratin' some face-appendages. B^)

Rafflesia squeals in terror and covers her eyes as the feather stalker makes its flashy appearance, but she quickly pulls herself together enough to get just into range to take a shot with her laser pistol.

Azimuth Laser Pistol: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

...Rafflesia chuckles to herself and glances around to make sure no one noticed that she forgot to take her hand from over her eyes.

I've just decided that Rafflesia's rapper name would be Li'l Riff Raff.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

After the long hours of waiting in the line, the music actually grew on Rafflesia.

"I'll take a copy too, please!" she shouts from below the countertop, her feat too sore to do anymore jumping.

She will chip in for Ziggy's copy too!

We will miss you, Crystal! ='( I can barely even begin to describe how inspiring you are to me. You are amazingly talented, smart, artistic, compassionate, and hilarious to boot!

I am so happy for you and I wish you ALL OF THE success and happiness! You're. Freakin'. AWESOME!!!

"Oh, I think I remember studying these in biology!" Rafflesia jumps up and down in order to catch glimpses of the video file playing on the datapad.

She squeals and covers her eyes with her claws at the point where the feather stalker pounces on its downed victim. She stops her bouncing at that moment.

Life Science: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

"Eek! I'm so glad I daydreamt through most of this lesson... What a horrible creature!"

Rafflesia yelps as the bizarre creature leaps out from the vent. She swiftly puts more space in between her and the panicking specimen and wracks her brains trying to remember if she's ever seen or heard of it before...

"I...I might, but I'm not used to my subjects being so...ALIVE!"

Life Science: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 she's a scholar, so Life Science checks to recall knowledge have their DCs reduced by 5... Does this count? =D

Rafflesia's face lights up. "Oh, Socks you say, little one? I have a cousin named Socks on Akiton!" But she suddenly becomes grim after a moment of pondering. "Oh, but...he's dead, so it couldn't be him." She chuckles nervously and backs up to hide behind Pokya's leg, blushing.

Hello, friends!

"Oh, does this mean everyone's here now?!" The raspy, high-strung voice of the ysoki that was once sitting across the room is now, startlingly, coming from between the two vesks. She jumps up a couple of times, attempting unsuccessfully to match their height. Once she realizes how ridiculous she looks, she stops her bouncing and reaches out both of her arms, one for each vesk, and shakes their hands excitedly. "I'm...Rafflesia!" she pauses slightly, as if having to remember her name. "I...I think your drone is adorable!" she adds shyly, not making eye contact with Zaldekan. It's now evident up close that the ysoki not only has all manner of leaves and twigs stuck in her dark-gray fur, but there are also green-tinged patches of what looks like moss.

She darts over to quickly do a cheek swab, and then fearlessly slams her right palm onto the panel for an implant. She shrinks away at the pain of the process but nonetheless lets out a high-pitched giggle.

Rafflesia proceeds to go about the room and introduce herself to the rest of her fellow initiates, waving the hand with her newly implanted Starfinder emblem, which she has activated.

"Everyone is so tall!" she exclaims, to no one in particular.

Yep, I found out the hard way about the edit limit just now ='(

From the farthest corner of the room, a squeaky giggle slips from a somewhat bedraggled ysoki. She quickly throws her hands over her muzzle to muffle her laughter at the amusing interaction between the towering vesk and nuar. Though she's pretending not to laugh, her legs are wiggling about wildly in giddy amusement, hanging nearly a foot off the floor from the chair she's planted in.

She chances a subtle, friendly wave at the drone flittering around the room. Eventually she goes back to minding her own business, counting lights in the ceiling or picking at the armrest on her chair, all the while conversing enthusiastically with herself under her breath.

hello! I will finish making my character tonight. I think she is going to be a ysoki mystic (who i want to bootleg into a necromancer somehow =D)

Edit: forgot to mention i'll be taking the healer connection, so i can still do general mystic-ey things, but i also want to take all of the available necromancy spells.

Welcome, greenhorns! ;)

I'm picking this game up in a couple of weeks. I'm so excited! I put in maybe 100 hours into MH3U and MH4 a few years ago, but I haven't had time to play since. My switch-axe arm is itching!

I love the Nasty Alchemy esp the Dung Gernades.

Thank you!! The dung bomb was my favorite part, too.
