:( Sorry to hear that Cueta.
I enjoyed it! There's some minor issues, mainly with me vs the system, but overall it was fun. I liked the campaign and the npcs. The pieces in civilized areas was nice. But it really shone in the exploration of ancient stuff arcs. Felt appropriately pulpy and wondrous. The PCs were all great fun :D I disliked the weapon system. It felt a bit game-y. Kinda like those jrpgs where every weapon do random elemental damage and upgrades are just more adjectives on the same chassi. Sure it keeps one a bit on the toes, but it feels odd that damage vulnerability/resistance is more rng then something thought about. And that a knife does 1d8 damage, a Fancy Knife does 4d8 ect. Minor thing really but it irks me :p And that's certainly a starfinder thing - not an our campaign thing :)
Oh that's convenient :P
It was beautiful and well within her rights! I just get sappy about heroic sacrifice and imagining my imaginary character missing the other imaginary character. Buuuuuuuuuut that said... We might be rich and famous now. Surely there's some Speak With Dead magic available we can pester Cueta with and ask if there's actually trids in heaven? Or perhaps that would be their next adventure :D --- I'm game. Just need to learn pf2 :p
Mm it feels like it. I mean we could mess around inside the spaceship a bit, but it feels strange when someone is uh dead >.>
Well maybe that too... But no sense in talking about that before they've dealt with the first thing! Leila shrugged and wrapped her new duster/mantle around her and headed towards their home, The Sunrise Maiden and pumpkin.
Leila sighs and grabs Astris hand. "Yes. I think it's Cueta. I miss her too ... But let's go home and rest - I don't think she'd want us to be sad. I'm going to make some popcorn and we can watch some cheesy trid in her memory!"
As it may be our final score, I just want to say that having music to the scenes have been a really nice touch :)
Neat! I kinda glanced over the "other" in the message, so I though you'd missed it. --- Also I see another video is out. A bit shorter. Saw something about the unionization thingy on reddit. Hope it works out!
Mmhm I feel bad about asking for a change when they look so nice, but Leila's eyes are green/blue-ish. (Her appearance is 100% based on the image I had from the paizo site and not the other way around :p Well except for the choice of clothing!) But this was the one suggestion in already wasn't it? Just in case :) (Also the group image is stellar!)
Mm I'm torn. On one hand I'd love to imagine Leila marveling at her Leila doll, snuggling with her Cueta blanket and visiting all the wonderful places Astri has teased. On the other, I'm not sure how fun that's actually is to play out :p I think an outro is fine by me. Perhaps a debrief by the starfinders, if such a thing exists? So we know we made it home at least :D
Bittersweet, like the end of any good campaign :´)
Leila cheerfully bounces up from her seat as their theme song overcomes the alarms. She makes a small pirouette to mimic Astri and cheers. " We're saving the woooooooooooooooooorld!!" Everything was going their way! The evil plot thwarted, Fi was back(ish) and gods willing she'd get some time to poke around a bit more in the alien tech. Yay!! Nothing could surely sour her mood now ... "... wah? Y-you're staying here?" The halfling stopped in her tracks, stunned by the revelation. She blinked a few times and tried to take it in. Yes. "Not going". That's what it meant. Slowly she turned into a small fountain as she properly processed the information and Cueta approached her. "I-I'm not very good at goodbye..." she held the duster tightly and went in for a hug with her other arm. She didn't want to let her frozen popsicle friend go. "I h-hope they have trids in heaven, I'm going to quiz you w-when I catch up you hear! A-and take care." She shifted to just clutching the duster - it was already perfect and didn't need no tailor - and slowly backed towards the escape pod. "I-its been nice. Farewell Cueta..."
Oh. Oh! OH!!!
"They still just need to break our forward momentum. I'll deploy more countermeasures. And hope there's no thermal exhaust vents in dumb places!" Leila mashes the deploy chaff button even harder.
Mmhm I feel bad about asking for a change when they look so nice, but Leila's eyes are green/blue-ish. (Her appearance is 100% based on the image I had from the paizo site and not the other way around :p Well except for the choice of clothing!)
"They're trying to wreck our engines!" Leila notes in alarm. Her tone grows even more shrill "I'm not sure this ship has safety harnesses!!" Perhaps that was what those arms sewed to her seat was for, but she sure as hell wasn't going to find out! "Deploying more countermeasures, hope they all miss!"
Re Cueta's +24 - remember that you could use the computers bonus of +10 if you'd like! We get 4 of those per round :)
I am fairly sure the DC is just high to high-ish by default, since it depends on the CR of the ship (20). That's what I went with at least and it seemed to work :p
It's strange isn't it? GM is not a floating yellow sphere!
Oh and I was going to bring this up - there's no range bands in the stat block.
Looking at the ship stats: we've definitely got most guns on the prow. So we want to fight them head on! Also we probably have more guns then gunners... But I wanted to try one of the fancy RP officer actions at least once :p Can fire some gun next turn!
"What? No! Not our eyeballs! We *might* actually need them to see!" Leila wasn't sure what worried her the most; that there were spare eyeballs laying around - or that the ship could actually need those!
"Let's see ... " the halfling didn't want this ship vaporized yet, only they would destroy this ship! So she looked around to see what sort of countermeasures could be deployed. Improve Countermeasures (Helm Phase):
If you have at least 12 ranks in Computers, you can try to foil enemy targeting arrays and incoming projectiles by spending 1 Resolve Point and attempting a Computers check. The DC equals 5 + 1–1/2 × the tier of the target starship + its bonus from defensive countermeasures. If you’re successful, gunners aboard the target starship roll twice and take the worse result for gunnery checks during this round (including checks for tracking weapons). "Deploying chaff! I uh hope it's not just a giant cloud of eyeballs ..."
AHah looks like we get to fire some big guns after all :D
"Oh yeah." Leila sighs as facts crush her hope of recreational doomsday device usage. Welp. Better pack up and into one of the escape pods then!
"...Would it be excessive to make the stellar degenerator degenerate this system? If we could. There's a lot of creepy Eoxians here. And the weapon - this key included - would be gone for good." the halfling suggested hesitantly. She didn't want all these priceless artifacts gone. But she also kinda liked the universe.
"Hmm..." Leila ponders Cueta's question. She looks from the key, perilously close to her android friend, to the giant doomsday device outside the viewport and back.
Leila takes a few calming breaths and reloads her pistol, just in case. Refilled with air and fresh batteries in her gun, she grins and bounces towards Prospero and the consoles. "Yes! Until anyone else tries to stop us! What do we do? Ramming speed? Fire all guns? Find the self destruct button?"
Leila blinks and stands up behind her cover. "Huh. I was starting to get a bit worried he wouldn't actually die ..."
Leila groans. She didn't want to be a wind trooper! But in her defense, she couldn't actually both see and shoot their target at the same time. Until now! "Nice throw Fi! His demise will look *fantastic!*" she gleefully actually aims her pistol and shoots the glittery fiend. Take that!
I'm good with any outfit colours as long as it looks cool and spacey :D
!!! Amazing !!!
"Now that's handy! Thanks Fi!" Leila cheers and shoots at the glowing necromancer. No more guessing!
Leila squints at the nothing and tries to shoot it again. Darn it they'll run out of ammo before that ... thing? ... died again! She took a quick glance around to see if there were any good alternatives.
I *think* it's labour day? Maybe? Anyhow hope it was nice yeah :)
"Maybe we'll collapse the roof on him!" Leila suggests gleefully and fires off another round.
Have some glue, titanium cables and clamps. Will ponder and see if those could be used to help somehow?
Leila tries to find some cover - if that even helped vs evil magicks - and then blast the invisible undead with her pistol. "Yeah this better be doing *something!*"
edit:
We should dig through our inventories and see if we have any See Invisible spell gems or something :p
Leila's anti invisible tech is 1 round for 1 full action, so it's only really useful to point out the target for others. And Cueta is doing that pretty well for us right now :)
Unable to really see their foe - unless she rendered herself unable to shoot instead - Leila decides that it is their turn to be ominous and unsettling. She rips the cheesy - but hopefully somewhat accurate - Eoxian self destruct sequence announcement from Space Warriors XII and plays it loudly over the ships loudspeakers! Over their private comms she chirps: "This is just a trick! Until we find the big red button ..."
vs 15+1+1.5enemy CR if the first fails, will use Computer Idol to reroll! Amplified Glitch: Benefit: As a standard action, you can wirelessly introduce a fast-acting virus into nearby technological devices to briefly cause them to malfunction in loud, surprising ways. You can use this ability on one target creature per character level, no two of which can be more than 30 feet apart. Each target must either be carrying technological devices or be within sight and hearing of such devices. While the locations of such devices are up to the GM, most public spaces (aside from technologically underdeveloped areas) contain enough technology for this feat to function. Your glitch causes alarms to go off, automated devices to spin and flail, readouts to flash brightly, and so on. With a successful Computers check (DC = 15 + 1 per target + 1-1/2 × the CR of the highest-CR target), all targets are shaken for 1 round, plus 1 additional round for every 5 by which your result exceeds the DC.
Once you have targeted a creature with this feat, that foe is immune to this ability for 24 hours.
Relieved that the portal worked safely Leila dashes back and shoots her monk in the back. Sneak attack!
Leila grunts and decides to swap back to her regular tactic. She shoots the monk in the back and then decides to make use of the fancy new wormhole. This would surely stop the mysterious aura of fatigue from attacking her. And - she made a ugly grimache at the monk trough the wall - that sucker might not be able to get her anymore! Hah.
Sad womp...
Bleh. That didn't work out so great! The halfling was undeterred though; one more try! With the help of Haste she slips away again and unload again onto the monk. Take that!
The Guarded Step takes up the Move Action from Haste it seems, so needed that for this to work it seems!
Oh! Haste! Sec ...
Leila will focus on her own monk for now - hopefully she could deal with this mook quickly and then help Vek! With a cough she takes a small step back and peppers it with her autopistol for a change of pace!
That's a relief :D --- I'll look up exactly how full attacks and haste works for my next turn. Together with weapon focus and astri's to hit bonus and the pistol with actual damage dice found earlier, that may actually be a better idea then trick attack .) |
