Magical Mu, the star of Mu's Fight Club, strides into the room, signing autographs. "Me? Naw, I'm not running. I've got my hit show -- get it? Hit show, 'cause it's a Fight Club, oh never mind... Anyhow, hanging out doing administration sounds like a real snorefest. What kind of fool would put themselves through all that?"

★ ---- ★ ---- ★ ---- ★

I'm only entering one of my qualifying characters, the one that's the most serious about the future of the Society. It takes a certain temperment to be First Seeker, and the majority of my high-level characters would not have the patience to see the job through.

"Oh, if only I had the capacity. That sounds like fun, but my agent keeps telling me I am booked elsewhere..."

Current freelance deadline, alas!

Mu checks the proceeds from her first Mu-vie. Niiiiiiice.

Time to send the Actors their paychecks.

Thanks again for playing, everyone!

I don't yet. Charli will be up pretty high, but I can't bring myself to GM or play Signal of Screams... It will be interesting to see if Mu makes it that high. (She's the character receiving all the AP credit...)

Mu strides in, in her shiny workout outfit. "So this is the Club for all of us high-spenders? Ni-i-i-ice! And I beat Charli here. Muahahahaha! She lost the bet and will have to make me a ton of tea to make up for it!"

"Not that I want to horn in on your action..."

"Mu here. Want us to make more Heist Mu-vies? Let us know at Mu's Fight Club!"

Erik saying he'd also like Minotaurs is giving me the most distant gleam of hope for them one day.

I wouldn't mind seeing Starfinder-style Nuars, actually. After all, Nuar Spiritskin was medium rather than large, wasn't he?

Lack of experience can alter how you comprehend data, and first impressions have a ton of impact on what you see as norms. Before nuars were legalized for everyone, there was a local convention that needed GMs. So I convinced half our players at Dreamers to run quests at that convention to help out, and everyone came home with a nuar. We had a whole herd of nuars running at our Starfinder tables for months...

New players saw them so often, they thought they were always available Starfinder race and were disappointed to discover they were a boon race. I'm just glad that they're available now, because we nuars are awesome.

"No one bumps like a nuar, baby!"

I know! Any further Starfinder Society Characters I make will be Nuar. I'm so excited.

I enthusiastically welcome all my future nuar comrades-in-arms. It's about time we had more of you in the Society to join us!

Mu Boon Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Sigh.

"A giant attack on the Starfinder Society, no doubt." Mu says.

Yep, so much fun!

Hmm

"All I know is she is BAD news, no matter what she touches." Mu says. "However, that's not what is important right now. What's important is that today we fought a god and saved a planet. It's party time!"

"Finish him, Wheeler!" Mu shouts. "Do us proud!"

Mu's Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Okay. That is one ugly deity.

Still, Mu has a reputation to uphold, and she pretends to barely glance at Ghatanothoa. "Sheesh, you elder gods have ZERO originality. Tentacles, undulating flesh, and crazy eyes might have scared the local yokels pre-Gap, but this is 320 AG! Get a new look already!"

"Actually, why don't you guys finish the Red Mummy off? The cult leader has gotten on my nerves!"

Mu makes her way to Farimther. If this triggers an attack of opportunity from Red, so be it.

Merciful Advanced Pike: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (6, 1) + 15 = 22

"Pike to the face!"

+1 coordinated shot to anyone shooting at Farimther and to whom I'm not providing cover.

Hey Bluuuu! Yeah, Mu's speed is freaky. I spent a lot of time building it up between Nuar, Blitz Soldier and Speed enhancements, and going for armor that didn't impede her movement. It's served me really well as a specialization experiment.

Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Mu blinks at Farimther. "You can't stop the Eternal Source? Really? Was that the best you can do?"

Mu shouts to her Fight Club, "I need some beats!"

♫ So you think you can go against Magical Mu?
Boy, you really deserve what's coming at you
The situation's dire,
But we don't hold our fire
No recourse
Your god's unhorsed
And you...
OUTSOURCED! ♫

Mu dumps a third level spell into her pike as she attacks Yellow!

Enhanced Advanced Pike: 1d20 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 3 = 32
Damage: 2d8 + 15 + 3d6 ⇒ (3, 7) + 15 + (2, 6, 3) = 36

EEEEEEEK!

Mu's not in the mood to negotiate. "They want to end the planet? I want to end them!" The Nuar looks across the path, realizing that those morlamaws are definitely within range of her 140 foot charge lane. "Anyone want to say anything before I apply a pike to their faces?"

]Oh, absolutely!

Mu stares at the door's runes. "Door, you gonna open or WHAT?!"

Mysticism: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38

Mu does Mysticism, and shares the results!

Why did you turn on the Merciful Fusion, these are undead?

I didn't. I forgot to delete the word 'merciful' when i copied and pasted from my botting spoiler.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Mu expends a third level spell!

Merciful Advanced Pike: 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 12 - 2 + 3 = 25
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 15 + 3d6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 15 + (2, 2, 2) = 28

"Let's take down this atrocity!'

"Well eight is down, Compucast. Shall you and I work together to down 6? Team Technomancer!"

Mu expends a third level spell slot and backs up Comcast!

Advanced Pike+Empowered Fusion vs 8: 1d20 + 12 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 3 - 2 = 19
Piercing Damage+Empowered+Supercharge: 2d8 + 13 + 4d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5) + 13 + (4, 2, 4, 3) + (5, 3, 4) = 48

Also, Compucast, do you need my Campaign Coin reroll? If you do, take it. It's got 4 novas on it.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 18 + 2 = 21

Unfortunately, Mu's team only distracts her from the business of identifying the Morlamaw's weaknesses. "Dammit guys, how many times do I have to tell you not to shout in my ear?"

She casts Supercharge Weapon on her Pike, and waits for the morlamaws to come to her.

"Just in case this turns out badly, it was a pleasure serving with all of you," Mu says. Then she takes several deep breaths and focuses deeply on the task at hand.

Mysticism + Alien Associates + Aid Another: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 2 + 2 = 32

Operation deactivate runes, commence!

"The good news is that we can deactivate the Circle of BAD. The bad news is that one of needs to touch the damn thing. I'm going to get ready to go in and touch it to deactivate those runes. Does anyone else want to help me with the Mysticism?" Mu asks, limbering up as if getting ready for a fight.

Which ones are smashed, Kate?

"So we're rising to the top?" Mu grabs hold of her pike. "What? They want to give us an uplifting experience?"

She checks out the morlamaws, and glances at the ritual circle. "You know that's a ritual circle, surrounded by mummified worshippers of an evil god, some of whom have had their brains extracted. My gosh, Zo! would love this."

She looks to her teammates. "Let's not cross the circle of BAD until we've had a chance to study it from a safe distance, eh?"

Mysticism: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29

After her rest, Mu studies the diagrams carefully.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

"Oooh, this is NOT good." Mu snorts, head slightly lowered, one foot unconsciously pawing the ground as if she wanted to charge something. "I thought I was DONE with these stupid death cults after literally dropping a friggin' mountain on top of some cultists in Castrovel."

Then she breathes deeply and says, "I can pinpoint the exact identity of the creature: Ghatanothoa, who is exceedingly strange even for a Great Old One. Yeah, like the rest of them, he's an ASS HAT."

She gestures with her hands and fingers as her camera crew zooms in for this very dramatic moment. She's mimicking tentacles as she talks. "Ghatanothoa is a mass of limbs, tentacle, and eyes, that folds up over on itself, constantly shifting and melding in and out of form. His appearance is said to be so horrifying that those who gaze upon him or upon perfect images of him can be turned into effectively immortal, petrified mummies, aware of their surroundings but unable to move. "

Straightening up, she shakes her head. "Praise Iomedae that the earlier image that we found was imperfect, or most of us would have been stone cold, with our minds active and our bodies frozen."

Looking at the diagrams and the gap of air on the ceiling, Mu says, "These morlamaws are in deep, right? Can we think of any reason why these caves would naturally drain of water? Is this low tide? Because I don't know why aquatic creatures would want that."

I'll be waiting ten minutes with Dusty to restore that stamina!

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Mu's hair sets on fire. She turns to her crew. "You are NOT filming this!"

Physical Science: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (12) + 21 = 33

"The experiments are simple, but deceptively so." Mu says with a grin. "They're trying to find out how well basalt blocks sensors. Do you realize what this means? No wonder Datch was interested in this place."

"Alrighty then, let's keep going!" Mu says. "There's more of this mystery to uncover, right?"

Oh my gosh. What available race has blindsense (electricity)? I keep hoping there'll be a dirindi boon somewhere. IS THERE A DIRINDI BOON?

Mu's movement speed is phenomenal. She moves over and competently hands the ysoki tools. "Yep, one sonic screwdriver coming up!"

Auto-Aid on Engineering. We have a group of amazing engineers!

Darkvision!

"Yeah, let's book and clean up whatever mess Datch has so kindly left for us." Mu inclines her head to the door. "You open it, I go through with my Pike."

Mysticism: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35

"That earthquake is being caused by magic, not science. Wanna bet that we have company somewhere around here?" Mu looks at the temp controls. "How about a little heat?"

"Hey... our sensors aren't picking up you guys, either. I'm starting to wonder if something in the trench isn't blocking them." Mu swims easily down with the crew, and then moves forward with the group. "Hey, this spacious enough to have a party in! I like it!"

That sounds fine to me, GM!

"Faulty sensors? I'm just going to check on them. This doesn't seem right." Mu double-checks the sensors on their submersible.

Computers: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37

Does she find anything odd?

Mu gazes with alarm at the claw in her face. "Not the face! Not the face! I make money with that face!"

Merciful Advanced Pike in water, Get Em: 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 12 - 2 + 2 = 19
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (2, 7) + 13 = 22

Mu has coordinated shot, so a +1 to the ranged attack for anyone not to whom I'm not providing cover!

Life Science: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26
Special Attacks

Mu charges the Red Crab with her merciful pike. "Hey crab, shoo! I don't wanna hurt you!"

As a Nuar with hydrojets, she takes no penalty for the charge.

Merciful Advanced Pike in water: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 - 2 = 11
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (6, 8) + 13 = 27

Mu shows how much she didn't want to hurt the crab by missing it entirely.

Mu has coordinated shot, so a +1 to the ranged attack for anyone not providing cover!

"I don't know how much information there is on the 'Eternal Source' but I recently learned a nifty little spell that might help."

It's called Akashic Download. Kate, if I use the spell, what skill would I roll to know more about it?

Physical Science: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37

Mu looks around as she agrees, "We better watch ourselves. This place is full of seismic activity."

Finally, Mu got updated!

Mu hands the underwater advanced pike to Bluuuuu. "You know... This looks more advanced than the one you are carrying. We could join forces and create a wall of pikes!"

Culture: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (19) + 21 = 40
And that's the last of the culture spoilers!

"Huh. I've heard that a group of morlamaws have learned about something called the 'Eternal Source', and have said that they have proof that Arniselle and morlamaws have always been important on a galactic scale. That may be something that we want to track..."

Mu looks over the stash. "I use an advanced pike already. Since it pierces through the water, I'm not sure what advantage the underwater offers?"

She tries it out.

Kate, what exactly does the underwater property do in this case? If no one claims it, I will happily take it though!
