Mizix's page

Im glad to hear our suffering helped. Mizix snarks to the fellow gnome. But absolutely not. That show is pain and murder without even the pretense of a bigger purpose.

The only good part of it was having allies holding the line as well. Turning to Gunnz, Kat, and Cavaler she says. Meeting you was a good thing, even if nothing else was. And Gunnz - your piloting really does live up to your boasting. I admit I did not predict that.

AoO on Red v EAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 = 19 for Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5) + 12 + 2 = 25

One to go then! Mizix yells, putting all of her strength into two more strikes at the blue beast.

Attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 2 - 4 = 20 for Bludgeonign: 2d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 12 + 2 = 22

Attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 2 - 4 = 13 for Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 12 + 2 = 16

23 HP left (with the ability to resist 7 from an attack each round).

And hey, being a meat shield is a vanguard's job !

Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
And using Reaction and spending 1 EP to Mitigate to reduce that damage by 7

Oh, its a solid logic. Spreading the bleed in particular around will add p. Consider it Mizix's IC frustration coming out from fear of death (she hasn't been this close to dropping for quite some time) :)

Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

As one of the beast trundles by her, Mizix tries to get in a blow.

AoO v Red: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 2 = 25 for Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 12 + 2 = 18

She yells out Kat's shooting Red, Gunnz Blue, which one are we focusing on! as she winces from another bite. Blood's starting to flow pretty well now.

Deciding red's the one menacing the gunners - Cav specifically - she focuses her efforts desperately on it.

Attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 2 - 4 = 29 for Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 12 + 2 = 23
Attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 2 - 4 = 11 for Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 12 + 2 = 21

More damage from the crit: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 3) + 12 = 16 and Red is prone!

currently 4 EP, AC 22/24. Attack vs both get +1 more on attacks due to her Coordinated shot feat

Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Wincing from the hits and starting to lose blood, Mizix lashes out quickly trying to take the beast before her down quickly.

attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 2 - 4 = 10 for Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6, 4) + 12 + 2 = 24
attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 11 + 2 - 4 = 25 for Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5) + 12 + 2 = 21

Once more into the GD breach Mizix mutters as she approaches the big'un while also placing her body between it and the damaged android.

Attack v Green EAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 for Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 5) + 12 = 21

1 EP, AC current 22/24

Dinos. Real, real Drift. Mizix says, leanign slightly against the nearest box.

Kat! You got any Seurms left? she yells over to the android. Pop em now! Remember Kat, Mizix gave you a mk 2 after the first set of fights I'm not sure you used.

The gnome sees cameras trying to get in her face, but shes' not in a talking mood, exhausted as she is.

Still in SP, but barely - and for a vanguard that's something

Well that hurts. Two EP generated form it, but not thrilled :p

Right...where I wan...want you. Mizix is just able to grunt out as her positively frizzled hand reaches out to slap at the mouth crunching down on her.

Move action to spend all of her current EP to 'charge' up the strike

Attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 4 = 27 for Acid: 2d6 + 11 + 4d6 ⇒ (5, 5) + 11 + (4, 2, 3, 5) = 35
Lol, crit right back
more damage: 2d6 + 11 + 4d6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 11 + (2, 1, 2, 1) = 22

They have 15ft reach - EP? I hope you mean SP

Entropy Points- Vanguard thing when they take damage (or several other random triggers). Have a bit more than that SP still - for now, those bites hurt!

As the bite as she advances stings and the red-bot-buddy’s own snap misses, Mizix’s edges are really starting to crackle. Focusing the entropic charge around her, she lashes out at the green beast beside her.

Move action to spend 3 EP to charge up her attack. Down to 2 remaining (from the AoO damage and red’s miss giving her two more)

Attack v Green EAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 for Acid: 2d6 + 12 + 3d6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 12 + (2, 5, 3) = 29

AC currently 22/24

Also, did Green’s bleeding stop somehow? HP seems the same since last round.

That misses, maybe because of the AOO ((from which one?))

Would've provoked from Green as she approached (unless they don't have reach, in which case yah!

With that bite, now at 3 EP

Mizix lightly flinches as the dino's laser strikes her. Surprised as it moves away rather than advancing, the gnome sighs and instead adjusts to focus on the more injured beast. Green She tries to roll towards it before punching out at the mechanized lizard.

Acrobatics to Tumble (need 15+1.5x its CR to avoid the AoO: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Entropic Strike v EAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 for Acid: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 1) + 12 = 14

She does not look that impressive this round to the crowd and the cameras.

Though at least the rest of your Ranged attacks against Green get +1 (Coordinated Shot) while she's next to it

Well, that’s something new Mizix says as the robosaurs emerge. She winces as Kat is struck badly yet again that woman has the worst luck but advances closer towards the mech-lizards herself, using the arena’s crates as cover.

Double move, drawing pistol in hand during it. Think cover from crates from the movement should protect from a red AoO

2 EP, AC 22/24

Fantastic flying Mizix tells Gunnz.

Just hope they don't keep their disappointment in how it looked in mind when setting up the next match. she muses.

Now out of missiles - assuming on both sides. If Gunnz can keep us in their undefended rear then I think Mizix and Kat can just each take a single gun (Particle beam to Kat, Twin Laser to me) and plink away the rest

Eh, also feel free to hold onto your Resolve Kat. I think we've got them well enough.

Last missile away Mizix says as she does one final Broadside into the enemy's aft.

Ship bonus to the particle beam again, Encourage to the twin laser

Particle Beam: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 2 + 3 = 14 for damage: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 5, 2, 1, 4, 5, 4) = 29
Missile Launcher: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 2 = 16 for damage: 4d8 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 7) = 18
Twin Laser: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 2 + 2 = 18 for damage: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 3, 1, 4) = 15

Hoping this is exciting enough footage.Mizix says as she keys up the firing algorithms again. Gunnz’s piloting so we’ll it almost seems like we’re just beating up on a toddler.

Ship bonus to particle beam, Captain +2 to twin laser, RP to Broadside

Particle Beam: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 10 - 2 + 3 = 28 for damage: 8d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 6, 1, 4, 4, 1) = 26
Missile Launcher: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 2 = 11 for damage: 4d8 ⇒ (2, 7, 3, 3) = 15
Twin laser: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 - 2 + 2 = 11 for damage: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 5, 4) = 22

well, two of those shots are Mizix at least making it seem more fair :p
And one Missile left - though the same’s likely about to be said for their turret too

Okay Mizix takes a deep breath, holds it, then exhales. Let's try this then.

Spending RP for Broadside, using the Demand for the Particle Beam and the ship bonus for the twinlaser

PArticle Beam: 1d20 + 10 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 4 - 2 = 26 for damage: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 5, 6, 3, 5, 5, 2) = 33
High Explosive Missile Launcer: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 - 2 = 25 for damage: 4d8 ⇒ (3, 5, 7, 6) = 21
Twin Laser: 1d20 + 10 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 3 - 2 = 20 for damage: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 1, 3) = 19

Right on target Kat! Mizix yells from her seat. How are you looking? Need someone else to take over on the guns?

In the Engineering phase

Great shots Kat! Mizix says as the gnome squints her eyes and focuses on the faint disruptions of entropy as the enemy craft cuts through space. Now let's see exactly what we're dealing with...

Scrying (Scan ship equivalent, but with Mysticism): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Eh, Mizix can boost Cav’s gunnery bonus too - though should probably scan/scry this upcoming turn if Kat can fire one more round.

Dont forget there’s a missile launcher in the front too (and you can take the other footing ship bonus for another +3 to one of those shots each round)

With an AC of 23 (15 base plus 8 from pilot ranks), that makes for 31 damage to our front shields. Ouch. It is down to nine.

Isn't it the just lesser hit that actually struck us, so just the 14 damage? And against the missiles would be 25 (since 17 TL base) - still one hit, but not too bad. Maybe Evasive stunt next round unless we have something better to do?

I can scry them next round Mizix says back to Gunnz. See if they have anything spicy to their stern before you steer.

If we're in combat initiative/phases

Form the 'science officer' seat, Mizix turns to Kat. If that's a gorgon class, it has tough shields but the society has some experience with it in the field. Sending you over some after-action reports that might point out weak spots.

In the first Helm Phase, Mizix will spend a Resolve point to give Kat a +3 bonus on all gunnery checks for the duration of this combat. (and will second Cavaler's suggestion to Broadside and take the 2nd +3 ship bonus to one of those shots each round).

Mizix will mostly gun. but round 1 will be Science Officer (to boost herself or the other gunner for the rest of the combat)

Do - we - need - to - burn - this - fast? Mizix manages to grunt out as she finds herself clutching the seat's handrest tightly while the ship accelerates.

Flying horse it is then. Mizix concedes with a shrug. If the point is getting good spectacle footage, might be better to be agile anyway.

(Whoops! Mizix is Gunning at +10 - dunno why I typo'd that bad)

So, looks like Starship combat coming.

Pretty sure we know who's the Pilot assuming all her boasts aren't just bravado :P but what about the rest?

Mizix is a solid gunner (+8 to hit) or Magic Officer (+11 Myst), but more importantly will spend her first round using her Historical Analyist starship boon to give whoever is primary gunner +3 on all checks for the combat.

As far as ships, I'm 50/50. At this Tier (8) I think the Drake and Pegasus are pretty even imo. Maybe lean a bit to the Drake for a short-manned crew.

Given the setting, I'm not sure that would have stopped them from putting you in another fight Mizix snarks quietly to Kat, nodding towards all the animated dead about.

I think Waz said they've got us piloting in between arena fights, so you may be able to take a breather. But that's a good chunk of blood. Do you need some help. The gnome fiddles with her bandolier to show a syringe to Kat mk 2 serum of healing. After we're moving so it doesn't look like you're just juicing. Or maybe that'd actually play well here. It's hard to tell.

While the cameras are setting up Are we still on the arena floor, or moved into a green room? Mizix moves over to Kat. Are you all right? You took some big blows. And you don't look like you're as used to that as I am. she asks.

As the producers try to take some shots of them all, the gnome tries to stretch and do a few flips while talking. Now those things were wild. Wait, I'm sorry. Cut. Re-take two. Now those things were Drift.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Hang in there Kat! Mizix yells while wincing as she takes a hit own her own. Ill be right there as soon as this thing’s out of my hair.

To try and accomplish that goal, the gnome lashes out twice at her own adjacent driftwraith.

Atrack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 4 = 25 for Acid: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 4) + 12 = 22
Attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 11 - 4 = 15 for Acid: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (2, 1) + 12 = 15

Mizix misses then hits Blue (-22).

Both of Mizix's attacks were against red, not blue. Don't think blue's been succesffuly struck yet, though red should be a total of -68

Mizix reels from the hard bite. And lashes out twice quickly at the beast in her face.

Attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 11 - 4 = 13 for Acid: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 2) + 12 = 17
Attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 4 = 18 for Acid: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 5) + 12 = 22

Focus Fire! she yells. Kat, if you can drop that Green one while it’s hurt that’s be great!

3 EP

Mizix steps up and lashes out at the driftwrith Gunnz shot, hoping to take it down or drive it off.

Attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 for Acid, magic: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (2, 4) + 12 = 18

1 Entropy, AC 22/24

Are the cameras down quickly?

As Mizix calms down a bit from the short but brutal fight the gnome is annoyed by the cameras being shoved into her face.

Remember: this is the job for the mission. Play along

Forcing down a scowl, she tries to instead offer a big smile. The result is a bit ghoulish whihc maybe plays for this audience, given the circumstances of who's running it.

Hundreds of years of extra unlife, you would think they'd have had more time to practice and get good.

With the undead in fron of her dropped, Mizix charges forth to strike at (or at least throw off her magic) Yetsin.

Attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 2 = 14 for Acid: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 6) + 12 = 19

Gain 1 EP from charging, back to 2

Yeah, missed it (and the flank too, though less important with a nat 20. Still, I'll take 4 more damage :)

Fodder takes a guarded step out of flank and fires on Mizix

AoO, as they're firing right next to me

AoO v EAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 for Acid (magic, ghost-touch): 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 1) + 12 = 14

If you're shooting at the back lines, focus fire on the injured one! Mizix yells to her teammates as her hand wavers with entropic energy. She then strikes out at her own target, adding It would mean a bit les shots back to us.

Attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31 for Acid (magic, ghost-touch): 2d6 + 12 + 1d4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 12 + (1) = 17
More: 2d6 + 12 + 1d4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 12 + (4) = 19
And Yellow's prone from the crit (knockdown)

Hey, ignore her. Focus on me Mizix says as she advnaces towards the closest undead Fodder? and strieks at it.

Attack v EAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 for Acid (magic, ghost-touch): 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 1) + 12 = 18

Due to coordinated Shot feat, your attacks against yellow get +1 to hit

Ah, somehow saw the arena entrance post, but missed the action starting. Whoops!

As the battle begins, Mizix curses the size of the arena as she advances towards the undead across from them., drawing her pistol as she goes just in case.

double move. EP currently 2 (and AC 22/24)

Mizix steps forward and waves to the crowd.

Oh, uh... Mizix says, furiously trying to think of a response to the farily obvious and expected prompt.

And I'm Mizix she says. Frantically looking at herself and the other three and seeing their insignia, she looks straight at the camera and adds: And the 'Stars' are about to shine here.

Because Starfinders? Will they get it. Gah, this is painful. But not in as satisfying a way as the Shadebringer made it sound

So a fight, a dogfight, then another fight. Mizix says out loud to make sure she understands.

Is there anything in particular we should be doing out there? I've never been on a vidshow before.

Starfinders! So glad you could make it, this show is going to be so drift I can’t even believe it! My company is working to turn drift into the next big adjective, you know for marketing. Be sure to use it a lot during the show!

Mizix leans over to whisper to Kat. He does know about the Crisis, doesn't he?

"I'm good with battling another team. I got caught up in the rivalry before. I'll consider being nicer this time. Maybe. Depends what the producers want. I would expect a confrontation with those imported dangerous creatures. It seems to follow Zo!'s playbook."

Creatures would be better. Mizix agrees. It seems a waste to be battling and inflicting pain on other creatures who are only doing the same thing we are.

Culture: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Oh, its around Bretheda! Mizix finally remembers. So many moons and things around there it's hard to keep track.

Wait, so we're going to the Zo!Dome? Mizix asks Naiaj. Looking to the others, she explains Apparantly the show they've been shooting there is called 'Live Adventure Extreme!'. Uncreative name. And an inaccurate one: from what I've heard it seems more focused on gladiator-style team fights. That incident on Salvation's End seemed to be more of an 'adventure'

On camera? Mizix looks at Naiaj. Umm, I can tend to get a little...fuzzy when things heat up. Is that going to be a porblem? Will it look too muhc like static?

Also, she looks down a bit sheepishly where is this place we're going to again?

I'm not sure Mizix (or I) know where Trillidiem is :p

Nope. the gnome answers and extends her hand to the android. Mizix. And I’ve heard about Zo! of course - she frowns punctuation’s hard to pronounce - but never had the chance to take part. I’ve been out of system a lot recently - the Society’s really into a treasure hunt lately.

Pilot? I though Zo wanted some bloodsport. a pale gnome says, clanking in her heavy armor as she enters the room. Or 'ichor'-port or whatever it is that might come up. Knowing them it's likely to be painful.

The gnome doesn't look especially nervous about that last part. In fact she seems pretty non-plussed all around.
