Just like to say, I was a little hesitant going into such a high level game via pbp, but everyone on our table made the experience a real great thing. I’m a little sad it’s ending but I’ve had a lot of fun and met some old characters and new ones.

Had a big scare with Dhurus but that’s what you remember isn’t it... the scares!

(Sorry Brock, I wasnt too sure what to do with you earlier. You missed 2 turns.. so I had to attempt to get to the middle God machine, but it took a while and learned after I had attacked it.. that it had already been destroyed. So I kinda felt like I wasted your turn. Sorry)

1st action?

Brock could move closer to the middle now that his god machine has been destroyed. Moving at 30ft (Im assuming he has a Jetpack, if he has Jumpjets he has a ceiling of 10ft only with jumpjets), he can double move to the middle and then double attack the Middle machine?

2nd Action?
Ill use his hammer stuff from his prev attack for the full attack on the middle god machine

Storm Hammer Attack 1, B&E: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 143d6 + 18 ⇒ (6, 3, 3) + 18 = 30
Storm Hammer Attack 2, B&E: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 273d6 + 18 ⇒ (6, 6, 3) + 18 = 33

@AbadarCorp Entertainment

Meglos has an EAC of 32, KAC of 34. My reading of the earlier attack rolls is that the False God was attacking KAC not EAC with its melee attacks. Which I assume meant the 26 and 32 to hit missed, with only the 40 hitting. Is it instead targeting EAC? Or is there a bonus Im not seeing?

I’m going to have Meglos come and help you after the next disable kneepuncher. You are looking very hurt and we just won’t have enough time to get them all before you go down or someone else does Drei sounds like they are close? Maybe to taking out one of the others so that’s three possibly.

Can people remember to update their sp and hp in the fields where possible, I’m worried I’m going to miss people going down when I could go and help them

how are the other groups going? L in particular the group we sent the boost token to that wasn’t going too well earlier?

I am a little confused here. We can see through the walls? are the walls only partiarlly there?

Could we do the Paratrooper one next? That sounds awesome.

Resolve point please!

Thankyou very much for a much much much much better pbp starship combat experience. Scanner defence sounds interesting.

wow didn’t realise our ship was so heavily damaged. Did we just take 3 crits?

ooh these numbers are much Better!

Brock: You get a +2 from the Aid Boon mentioned in Discussion and also I dont know if you did.. you get to roll again with the attack due to the moving speech and keep the better roll on the attack

Okay Ill boost Remote Assistance then and hand it on to the the table that is in dire need. 1 Resolve point spent in addition to the one just spent on my Moving Speech. Everyone gets +2 (I assume this is also to gunnery checks? Will give the additional action to a Gunner. )

How do we boost it and pass it on again?

I’d prefer to finish it out. We seem to be making good time and some of the other people here we’re looking forward to the starship combat

(Does SAFE HAVEN mean that all our guns do +4d6 more ? :) )

Im definetly going to suggest that we use Best Engines. Readying what our gm has said, this sounds like some form of scout ship that is probably going to try to outrun us. the Drake isnt a slow ship, but its not the fastest either. And upgrade to 10 speed might be a good thing for us!

I think it was just me allergic to starship combat but I also feel like I kinda really picked this mission for us. So I’d be happy to do scout hunt which I believe was the earliest starship combat mission. . I’m happy with recovery efforts too.

I feel like I need to put into words why starship combat in pbp terrifies me a bit. I was in a prev online pbp starship combat scenario and it took our group 29 days to take out a single starship enemy.

I will make you faster when I hit 3 attunement Kneepuncher. Of course really by then its too late but thems the breaks :)

Meglos attunes to 2 attunement and them moves closer again

Meglos then reaches forward to the obscured traitor and attempts to crush them with his powers

Crush: As a standard action, you can increase the effects of gravity on the internal organs or workings of a target within 30 feet, causing it to have difficulty maintaining its normal functionality. The target must succeed at a Fortitude save or become staggered for 1 round. This revelation also affects constructs. You can maintain this effect as a move action each round, but the target can attempt a new saving throw each round to end the effect. Once a creature succeeds at this save or the effect ends, you can't target that creature with crush again for 24 hours

The DC is 22 Fortitude save

Are we permitted the 10 minute rest after these events to regain stamina or are there other set times for that?

You Concur Meglos was responsible? Aww shucks! :)

Yes please. Meglos feels responsible for their death as it was his words that got the Jinsul to talk and then well explode

(thats the one we just did isnt it? It would be good to catch the traitor!)

Meglos Looks up the Stairwell and winces.

Not Sure if this is going to work here but if so I have
Gravity Boost:
You can increase or reduce the gravitational attraction between yourself and the terrain around you. You can add a bonus equal to one-third your solarian level (minimum +1) to Athletics checks to climb, jump, or swim as part of the action you take to attempt the skill check. In addition, as a reaction when you are falling, you can reduce the falling damage you take by half. At 6th level, you can move along vertical surfaces and even upside down along ceilings for 1 round. This functions as spider climb, but it leaves your hands free and you can also run. You must end your movement on a surface that can support you normally. If you end your movement while you are standing on a vertical surface or ceiling, you fall unless you succeed at an Athletics check to climb to remain in position.

It works out at +4. Not sure if this is considered climbing.. if not thats cool. It is not factored into the roll below

Athletics: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38

Like most of his race, Meglos is fairly good at lying to people or telling them what they want to hear

Moving up to the guards " Fellow acolytes I witnessed some suspicious actions just earlier. A Priest did not greet me with the required greeting AND he seemed to have recording equipment on him. He ran off away from his fellows after I saw him. If you move now , you might catch him and you can prove your devotion to Dhurus!"

Graviton sidreal boosted Bluff: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 251d6 ⇒ 2

I have no idea, Ive got no drama getting the tier 9-10 credits if that’s what it comes down to. I only really brought it up because of the prev experience. I never did find out how they resolved it .

Sorry i should of asked this before we started

I understand we are playing in Tier 9-10 based on the RPGChronicles. I played in a different Starfinder special a while back and we had someone playing out of the tier they would normally be in. THere was also an issue on that the special didn't have a out of tier credit option.

Is that the same issue here?

Thanks

Matthew

Hi I am Meglos. Teskrkah is it? Look Im no interrogator. But it's nice to mee you. Yes I know your language. It is very interesting and certain more complex that Basic. Please tell me more about the great heroes of the past. Perhaps If I can understand a part of your background, then in turn you can find out some of our background. Im also sensing that when you refer to Dhurus as an abominable curse.. you believe he is no longer representing Kadrical's best interests?"

(Will be using diplomacy with my sidreal influence)

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (8) + 22 = 301d8 ⇒ 3

(I do have a turqoise cube if I am short by 1)

Also Ill be honest, the Starship one sends cold chills through me. Starship combat I try and avoid where possible. Im certainly capable of doing it, Its just a reaction I get

Im all for the Data Hack one. Getting as much intel we can would beneficial. Failing that, Meglos is great at talking to people mostly. THe last mission speaking to an actualy jinsul agent would be also very good for us I think

Meglos looks at the holographic Map and picks out points where the Starfinders might get the best access noticing layouts of existing structures and paths where supply lines might be set up.
The Thing about war is that it rarely changes. The two sides might be different but there are only so many ways to success and plenty more paths to failure. I have logged more than a few hours on a battlefield and believe that either here or here would be our best place for an initial engagement. This is entirely dependant on a soft landing however. If we encounter air support a hard landing is possible but carries far more risk

Culture: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 231d8 ⇒ 8 Sidreal boosted Culture

Done! have put the link in the bar for Meglos.

Did you need a copy of my character sheet AbadarCorp Entertainment?

I could post the hephastios link to you. My last paizo forums pbp game just was enough to put all the base details in the name bar.

Ive got the link if you need it.

Matthew

Hi. Looking forward to this. I dont seem to be able to link my character yet, the recruitment area dosnt saying anything about doing that yet.

Matthew/Meglos

I dont remember if I put in my email address when I originally signed up for the game.

If not it's pyramidofmars@gmail.com or sutekh1330 on discord.

@Meglos: Major apologies--I completely missed your previous post in this thread and it was a very legit question!

Is okay, I realised it was in my null space chamber mk2. And de to action economy might of been hard to get tot in the middle of combat.

Just like to say a big thankyou to my gm and my fellow players. I was a little hesistant joining a high level pbp as all my prev experiences have been much lower tier.. but this has been excellent!

I know you havnt posted the turn order but I realised Im kinda next. Having fully attuned on this turn another supernova will occur

Meglos now bursting with light points away from here near the main terminal and it explodes outwards getting both fake datchgram and the blue hologram

Reflex DC is 20 and is FIRE damage

Supernova2: 11d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 4, 3, 5, 1, 3, 6, 3, 4) + 2 = 39

nice hit! Sadly I think all of these holograms are immune to crits

With my DR 5/- I have also taken that off the damage too and applied it after Knee took some of my damage also.

Meglos continues to pulsate with Solar Energy (2) and will now put his full attention on the foe to the south with a full round attack.

All damage below is magical bludgeoning

attack1vskac: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 185d6 + 23 ⇒ (3, 4, 4, 5, 6) + 23 = 45
attack2vskac: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 185d6 + 23 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 6, 1) + 23 = 37

THe one that hit Meglos can take

electricity: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11
fire: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Hi, I was just wondering if we knew why our weapons seemed to be less effective against these Holograms?

Ive got a single serum of Inubrix Brew but I dont know If Meglos knows that it might help me vs these guys. Would I need to roll something to determine that?

Thanks

Blue Hologram can take some electricity and fire damage

electrostatic field: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9
corona: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

wowsers, didnt even know wall of fire was a thing in Starfinder.

No problem!

(I assume we are all gonna target the primary Hologram first? Not sure who Z Data Z is targeting )

Im not seeing Gil-Oloth on the map either. Where are they?

" Well this is all beyond me. Sadly the Tetrad did not teach me about computers. Where do we need to put that datapad that Celita gave us? All of these servers look the same"

Meglos moves into the room about twenty feet and tenses his body waiting for the next surprise Datch has for him

Now everyone can use the wormhole to get to the other side!... wow felt super ineffective there!
