Mon "Goose" Tavvi's page

Goose pulls out candy for all the ysoki children that made it. He scruffs fur and pals around with them, keeping them occupied.

"Good work team. You did good. But this is far from over with the Vault Lord, yeah?" whispers Goose to the others.

I have extra batteries and a static arc pistol for electrical damage. Neon projects while continuing his spell.

Goose chuckles at Neon's response. "Don't mind me. I'm more annoyed at the inconvenience than anything else. Just a bit grumpy at the gall of the Vault Lord and his insistent interruptions. I have more batteries, so null sweat." offers Goose in response.

Goose continues his height of 50', in line with the drones, using his force soles. Seeing Diniel taken and hearing the pleas from Neon and Charli, Goose focuses his effort on the green drone.

"I'm on Green! Let's save Diniel!"

Trick attack on green drone. Take 10 for 37. Beats up to CR 17. FF to party with a successful hit.

Azimuth Laser, Ranged attack on Green drone vs. FF EAC: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 2 = 29

Damage, Fire, Magical: 1d4 + 5d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + (4, 7, 8, 3, 4) + 4 + 2 = 34

NOTE: If Green is taken out by Ivok and Charli, Goose will pivot over to attack Blue instead. Improved Get 'Em should still apply.

The team hears Goose cursing in the comms. "Dang grenade drained my batteries! I'm out of ammo on my laser. I have a few shots on my Rings though, but just barely!"

Goose maintains his height of 50', in line with the drones, using his force soles. Seeing how close the end of the 'world' is, he scurries over near the larger group. The yellow drone is still up and still remains his target.

Trick attack on drone. Take 10 for 37. Beats up to CR 17. FF to party with a successful hit.

Azimuth Laser, Ranged attack on drone vs. FF EAC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

Damage, Fire, Magical: 1d4 + 5d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + (7, 5, 1, 7, 5) + 4 = 33

Goose will continue his upward trajectory with his force soles, matching the altitude of the drones currently. Before moving, however, Goose will fire another shot at the yellow drone he struck earlier, hoping to finish it off.

Trick attack on drone. Take 10 for 37. Beats up to CR 17. FF to party with a successful hit.

Azimuth Laser, Ranged attack on drone vs. FF EAC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

I have a reroll I haven't used yet. If needed, here it is: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Damage, Fire, Magical: 1d4 + 5d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + (6, 6, 2, 1, 8) + 4 = 30

I have 80 foot range on the laser and I used my force soles to move up. Also, drone was flat footed. Reposted that my to hit was 25, nor 21. Still miss?

Goose hears Charli and almost drops everything he's holding to run forward! :D

[dice=Initiative]1d20+9

"You have GOT to be kidding me!" offers Goose as the entire vault starts to break apart into some horrific scene. "Was this the final episode of that crappy vidseries or what?"

Giving a big, resigned sigh, he nods to Neon and fires on one of the drones, advancing forward and upward to keep guard on the survivors and offering himself as bait to the drones.

Trick attack on drone. Take 10 for 37. Beats up to CR 17. FF to party with a successful hit.

[dice=Azimuth Laser, Ranged attack on drone vs. FF EAC]1d20 + 10

[dice=Damage, Fire, Magical] 1d4 + 5d8 + 4

Sorry, I am at +14 to hit and not +10. My to hit should be 25, not 21.

Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Damage, Fire, Magical: 1d4 + 5d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + (2, 8, 2, 6, 4) + 4 = 27

"Not that I'm bad with engineering, mind you, but I'll focus on shooting down that drone if someone could get that tank going. Anyone else want to join me in some target practice so that the wounded don't get kidnapped?!?!" shouts the tiny ysoki as yet more threats emerge. "Don't they know enough to quit already? Sheesh!"

Trick attack on drone. Take 10 for 37. Beats up to CR 17. FF to party with a successful hit.

Azimuth Laser, Ranged attack on drone vs. FF EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Damage, Fire, Magical: 1d4 + 5d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + (8, 1, 2, 6, 5) + 4 = 30

Goose actually has both Physical Science and Mysticism. I took them at 1st level with Skill Synergy. Gave me two additional skills that filled in those missing holes. :D

Goose takes in the rapid instructions from the team and the remaining townsfolk. Battles are chaotic, but this one takes the cake!

Just before firing, Goose looks for the salvo from the town to see if the mech goes down. If not, he fires one last shot before retreating.

Trick attack. Take 10 for 37 total. Beats up to CR 17. Target is FF on a successful hit to all party.

Azimuth Laser, Magical vs. FF EAC on Mech: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Damage, Fire, Magical: 1d4 + 5d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + (1, 5, 7, 4, 3) + 4 = 25

If Mech goes down from Charli's called strike, Goose will use the 13 rolled and do an Engineering check = result of 35 total to get more data.

"I'm on it Ivok. I'm sure it'll go down soon if I keep up this focused fire!" shouts Goose as he fires at the siege engine and continues his retreat.

Trick Attack on Siege Engine. Taking 10=10+26+1=37. Success on up to CR 17. Target is FF vs. the rest of the party with a successful hit.

Azimuth Laser pistol at Siege Engine, FF EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Fire, Magical Damage: 1d4 + 5d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + (1, 5, 8, 4, 3) + 4 = 26

Goose will have to be content with the damage inflicted on the big mechanized terror. There are too many enemies pressing in on the team and the town to worry about a seemingly unstoppable behemoth. Taking a retreating stance and moving back, Goose focuses on the hag that had the audacity to shoot at him (or is it us, with multiple clones?).

Trick Attack on Hag that shot at him. Taking 10=10+26+1=37. Success on up to CR 17. Target is FF vs. the rest of the party with a successful hit.

Tetrad Rings, Ranged Attack, Magical vs. FF EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Force, Magical Damage from Tetrad Rings: 1d6 + 5d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + (2, 5, 4, 6, 1) + 4 = 27

Mysticism check on surroundings: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

With all of the distractions, Goose cannot surmise quickly enough what they are dealing with.

Goose will focus his fire again on the large mechanized siege engine, hoping his continued efforts pay off.

Trick Attack on Siege Engine. Taking 10=10+26+1=37. Success on up to Level 17. Target is FF vs. the rest of the party.

Azimuth Laser, Ranged Attack, Magical vs. FF EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Fire, Magical Damage from Laser: 1d4 + 5d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + (2, 5, 3, 3, 1) + 4 = 19
1d20 ⇒ 1

Critical Damage from Fire, Magical Damage from Laser: 1d4 + 5d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + (1, 8, 2, 1, 6) + 4 = 24

Lastly, Goose keys in the coordinates for the load of explosives to hit the black mech on the side that purple is. Hopefully there is a radius so that both would be a part of the fun.

Goose will focus his fire on the large mechanized siege engine. That much firepower will quickly wreak havoc on the party and the encampment in short order.

"Let's focus fire on that brute!" projects Goose to the team, hoping they can make quick work of it collectively.

Trick Attack on Siege Engine. Taking 10=10+26+1=37. Success on up to Level 17. Target is FF vs. the rest of the party.

GM Aerondor - some clarifying questions:

1. The grenade microbots give harrying fire and off-target. With UNCANNY AGILITY (EX) 7TH LEVEL, I am immune to the flat-footed condition, and your opponent doesn’t gain any bonuses to attack rolls against you from flanking you or attacking you when you’re prone. Furthermore, covering fire and harrying fire don’t provide any advantage against you.

Am I unaffected then, with the exception of the damage?

2. Can we or should we attack the siege engine? What is the distance from us if we were to attack it directly? Can I trick attack it?

So sorry for the absence! Thank you for botting me. I had family in town for the holiday and it stole more time than expected. :D

Goose has the following:

Tetrad Rings - 20 charges; usage 2
Azimuth Laser Pistol - 20 charges; usage 1
Semi-automatic Pistol - 9 rounds; 3 magazines (27 rounds)

All have the 'Called' Fusion, making them magical.

Batteries - 2 backup.

I didn't specify the type of battery. Should I designate them for a specific item or does it matter?

Goose moves to the far edge of the mid-range sector, prepared to assist Ivok as needed. As he prepares for the battle, he bolsters the team's defenses by adding in a few more troops. Enabling his holographic clone generator, Goose pops in some teammates.

Holographic Clones of Goose: 1d4 ⇒ 3

"Of course we'll help. We're in this with you. Where do you need us the most governor?" asks Goose as he preps his equipment.

Goose adds a bit to the ongoing convincing of the governor.

"Right. To add further, we found drychens that had been augmented with a mindlink circlet that was allowing something to communicate with and control the creatures. This is highly unusual since this by itself wouldn’t function on non-sentient creatures." begins the operative as he shows the governor the hardware found in the creatures after subduing them. He supplements it with his database on Life Sciences and Xenobiology, explaining the nuances and the issues.

"In addition, this is not Akiton. I should know. I lived there for decades. Here is Akiton now." offers Goose as he scrolls through some updated video footage of modern-day Akiton. He includes some selfies and family shots of his upbringing on the planet and his time as a freighter pilot.

"Furthermore, you are not on a planet, per se. This is something else entirely." explains Goose. He splices together video footage of their approach, their entry and finally their entry into this vault."[/b] Goose shows the governor a quick video montage.

"We know you are all real. We know you have been attacked by some entity, this Vault Lord. We are not discounting this at all. We just want to help you understand where you are and how we can help you."

Forgot to include this in my last post. :D

Diplomacy assist to Charli: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Jumping on Neon's admission, Goose adds his as well. "I am from Akiton as well. I and my brothers and sisters have lived there for countless generations. I was a salvage pilot before joining the Starfinder Society. And it is Akiton, not this semblance of it. Doesn't even smell right." offers Goose as his whiskers twitch violently.

Goose nods at Ivok's suggestion and then realizes he can't be seen currently. Projecting his thoughts, he continues the mental conversation, "Agreed Ivok. It takes conditioning, and a lot of it, to get these people to behave the way they are. I believe we are protected for now since we have only been subjected to the cursory sensations. I'm curious what they've done to Nelli, since she hasn't been here for terribly long. But that can wait. Let's go discuss things with the Governor."

Goose wraps up in the cantina and makes his way to the Governor's office with the rest of the team.

"Oh, one last thought. How are we handling this? Are we going to present evidence and try to convince him of what's going on or are we going to continue our ploy of a mercenary team working for this place?" offers Goose before they make it to the office.

Goose uses his skills picked up while studying Xenobiology outside of the Pact Worlds to decipher the mystery of the VR program.

Life Sciences: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29

”Mental commands or subliminal messages, perhaps Charli?”

Goose elects to check out the Pact-made holodevice after ordering some food.

Goose checks in with the team so they know where he's at. He indicates he'll be checking out the cantina for the time being.

He hates to sit idle, so begins to inspect and poke and prod and dissect. What are toolkits for, eh?

[dice=Computer check]1d20+20

Not getting the results he wanted, he uses his 'reset button' and starts all over again, this time avoiding the first blunder. In reality, Goose pulls out his trinket and overrides the system.

** spoiler omitted **

[dice=Computer check, reroll]1d20+20

Goose continues to fiddle with the holodevice, trying to coax anything of value out of the device for the mission. Once that is done, he updates the team and moves on to the VR parlor.

At the VR parlor, Goose will look around for anything suspicious before trying out the system itself. Before venturing in, the operative does a bit of diagnostic work to ensure it won't fry his brain or turn him into a puppet. "You sure this is safe?"

@Goose, the Computer Idol is listed as not legal for play.

See Hybrid items, Armory.

Well, color me silly. I'm not sure how I missed that.

I will credit it back at the end of the adventure and use my promotional reroll for that check then.

"Null perspiration Quina. Last place we were in, us types weren't treated real nice is all." offers Goose, hoping to allay any suspicion. He saunters off to the cantina to get some grub and hopefully learn more about this strange place.

I'm back folks. Thanks for covering for me! :D

Goose engages with Quina as Quirk heads into the hydroponics facility.

"Hoi Quina. I am a bit peckish. Would you care to escort me to the cantina? My treat." offers the ysoki.

"It's been a long day and me and my team are just trying to get the lay of the land. I would very much appreciate a guide." continues Goose, trying to be disarming.

"Any idea on what to expect? The garrison is in quite the flurry of activity. Oh, and where are all the other ysoki? Are they all confined here to the encampment?"

Goose continues to ask more information as permitted by Quina, although continuing to be tentative and not direct. Are the ysoki free to come and go? Who is the enemy expected later? What else goes on in the camp? Is there a resistance?

Goose also looks for telltale electronics such as inhibitors or slave collars or something like that. He has several kits in his possession that could scan with, pulling them out and cleaning them while talking.

Goose will attempt to talk to the adult ysoki working on the repairs to the vest equipment. He'll approach and begin using his engineering skills to help the others quickly conduct the repairs. While working and gaining their trust, he will ask about their role in the camp, what the hubbub is about with the pending attack, how they are treated, and try to get the lay of the land. Specifically, what is off limits and why.

"Hoi. How goes the struggle?"

Once he gets the jist of how the ysoki are treated and what their role is, he'll continue poking around this area, looking for hidden or restricted areas.

Using telepathy (perferably) or comms, Goose will check in with the team and update them.

Goose seems somewhat taken aback by the ysoki encampment. Where are all the ysoki? Are they off doing another task?

Goose will sneak around and try to dig up his own answers to this question.

Goose will head to the Ysoki encampment to blend in a bit and ask some questions. Perhaps being a fellow ysoki will lend itself to loose lips.

As with the others, Goose tries to do a bit of research on the vid-show this vault is emulating in case the information might prove useful.

Responding to Ivok, "Hard to know who to trust. Someone was controlling our welcoming committee. I'm open to suggestions. Not sure if the sniper is part of the guard or an opposing faction. Thoughts?" offers Goose as he looks to the others for a response.

Goose moves along quietly with the group. Not much for smalltalk when on a mission, the operative tries to blend in and observer all.

Perception check: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

Focusing on the Vesk, Goose almost misses the catlike person with a sniper rifle perched on a small plateau.

He quietly whispers on the comms, "We have company. Other than the vesks. A sniper on the plateau.". He gives the coordinates on his datapad to point out the sniper.

Sorry folks. Traveled with the fam to the beach for a mini-vacation. My posts will be a bit sporadic this week. I'll try to do the best I can! :D

Easily make the DC 10 perception check

Not that it's likely to hit, but...Green is Ff. Also, my total on AoO is 17, not 12. +13, not ÷8.

Goose is caught off guard as the beast launches after Charli, ignoring the taunts and bloodied nose given to him by the fiesty ysoki. He almost forgets to stab at it as it departs.

AoO with Knife: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Unfortunately, his attack is feeble and doesn't come close to connecting.

Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Goose: It looks like your damage was cut off on your post.

Damage from Tetrad Rings: Force, bludgeoning, magic: 1d6 + 4 + 5d8 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (4, 4, 6, 2, 2) = 23

Thanks Ivok for the post. Not sure how that happened. I will be updating the damage roll now. Weird...

Goose maintains his altitude and takes decides on a stupidly dangerous task. Ivok is nearing his limit and needs a reprieve, so this will have to do.

The quixotic ysoki moves right up into the snout of the great beast and blasts it square on. While doing so, Goose begins to taunt it in several different languages, including sign language.

Trick attack at +37 (+26 skill, +1 to trick attack, take 10). Anything up to CR 17 is tricked for the attack. Also, GREEN is FF to everyone in the party until my next turn (if I hit). Goose designates this enemy prior to moving, so no AoO.

Activating his tetrad rings, a burst of witchwyrd mystical energies bursts forth into a blast of force energy, aimed right up its nose.

1d1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 1 = 25

Trick attack is a full round action. There is no way I am aware of to pull a weapon and trick attack the same round.

If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher, you can combine drawing or sheathing a weapon or weapon-like object with moving up to your speed as a single move action. However, with Trick Attack being a full-round action, I am unsure if this applies as part of the 'movement' indicated in the ruling.

Also, I am curious as to rolling your Trick Attack vs. taking 10, which is allowed at 7th level as an operative. :D

You are right. He moves into an adjacent square but not through it. Ignore my ramblings.

Question - I have both melee and ranged capabilities. Did Green provoke an AoO from me? It looks like he should based on flying 30' straight up.

Let me know and I will stab him. Won't do much damage, to be sure, but every little bit will help. :D

Goose keeps his altitude and takes a page from Quirk. However, he moves to aid Charli as the envoy seems to be taking on a large beast single-handedly. He uses the commotion of the battle to move and sneak in a shot.

Trick attack at +37 (+26 skill, +1 to trick attack, take 10). Anything up to CR 17 is tricked for the attack. Also, GREEN is FF to everyone in the party until my next turn (if I hit). :D

Activating his tetrad rings, a burst of witchwyrd mystical energies bursts forth into a blast of force energy, aimed at the hairy beast beneath him.

Ranged attack on GREEN vs. FF EAC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
