Mu's Fightclub's page

"What happens next?"

"That's up to them. Turning in the artifact to Aramesh's buyer probably means more than enough money for each of them to retire to a quiet life of better decisions."

"Maybe on Vesk-2, whose tourism agency has been the best sponsor that Mu's Fight Club could want! Vesk-2, where the Beach Living is EASY!"

"The Fight Club would also like to thank our other sponsors now, including Worlanisi Whimsy, the coolest cocktail, Jim's Jams and the STORAWATCH for all your subtle storage needs!"

"Merge with your soulmate? Does that mean what I think it does?"

"YUP. All adult shakalatas are made from two juvenile shakalatas that merged, and they then take turns sharing the same body. No questions about where their mates are. They just know."

"Oh, this is my favorite part! The interviews!"

"Remember, we'll also be airing flashbacks as each person gives their answers, showing the precise preparations they did for this moment!"

We here at Mu's Fight Club love a good fight, but alas, sometimes the NPCs have different ideas!

"Fold or not, Zubu?"

"Wait, I know that pop culture reference! In the Seven Stars Superstars tournament five years ago, there was a skittermander player named Zubu, whose hand stunk worse that a diapered defrex. But when asked if he would fold, he glanced at everyone, put on his sunglasses, and said, 'Be Cool.' He essentially bluffed his way to victory because everyone else at the table folded. The image was so popular, they turned it into a meme."

"Oh dear. Do you think he can breathe? We do hate to lose a good villain."

"Naw, don't worry. That suit likely has 2-3 days air supply in addition to his regular supply of hot air."

"Villains always get extra actions at cinematic moments. It's in their contract!"

"Do you think that could have been foreshadowing?"

"Well, that was one slick move from Kevan!"

"WOOOOHOOOO! What a beautiful set of Entropic Strikes! The Mountain Eel goes down!"

"For our viewers at home: the target crate is still in the train car! The folks on the ladder still haven't managed to attach their grappling hook to the crate!"

"Ooh, too bad that trick attack failed! Lena failed to slay the Mountain Eel. On the other hand, that means Royce's cronies still have to deal with the 'dinosaur!'"

Aramesh gets his head back in the game, and thinks for a moment - That would be funny if the goons all get paralysed by the eel!

"We here at Mu's Fight Club are currently taking bets on what happens next round when all the goons stop looking at the prize, and start looking at the 'dinosaur'."

"Wow, did you see that Mountain Eel biting the shield? I hope the Ixo Syndicate carries good veterinary dental insurance!"

"Meanwhile, we here at Mu's Fight Club are waiting to see if our remaining fighters will get in the ring and kick some mountain eel ass! Let's all hope they snap out of it this round and show us some flashy moves!"

"Fight, fight, FI-I-I-I-I-I-I-IGHT!"

"One of our viewers has notified us that we have left Kevan out of this fight. But no one gets left out of a fight on Mu's Fightclub!"

"Are you ready for today's fight, friends? It's the Groovy Grav-Train Four vs the Mountain Eel!"

This map has some handy-dandy letters on it to orient you. Let's go over what they are.

A: Console; this console operates the grav-crane and can open the bay doors that, when closed, comprise the car's ceiling.

B: Grav-crane; this device can be used to move crates through the air.

C: The prize; the artifact you are after is in this crate. This crate unfortunately has three very heavy crates stacked on top of it.

D: A large crate. Doesn't it look great? It's a bookend for the Grav-crane.

E: Storage compartments; the car is lined with lockers where cargo and other parcels can be stowed.

F: Another large crate; Our other bookend for the Grav-crane. And now... we're up-to-date!

PROGRESS COUNTER

You surpassed Royce, and have Brom in a relaxed mood where he is chatting and drinking with you, away from his bodyguards. Pickpocket is a GO!

Royce: 4
Our Team: 5

THE PROGRESS COUNTER

Royce progresses, as his smooth charm never wavers. However, so does our Team! Although Kevan's humor goes awry, Aramesh starts hitting his stride, and solid support from Lena and Barat turn his success into a critical success. Brom warms to Aramesh, and starts to relax. "Got any retirement places in mind? I've been thinking about going surfing on Worlan or Pakahano, but I wonder sometimes if I'm getting too old for that."

It's neck and neck! Let's see if you can surpass Royce this round!

Royce: 3
Our Team: 3

THE PROGRESS COUNTER

Royce progresses, as his smooth charm never wavers. However, so do our favorite anti-heroes as Kevan and Barat help Aramesh get through an awkward bit of conversation!

Let's see if you can catch up next round!

Royce: 2
Our Team: 1

From his comm unit, the Fight Club chimes, "Go, Mu!"

"Oooh, an epic clash of rivals," Mu's film team notes. "This will be so good for ratings!"

Mu's film crew zooms in on Wheeler's face as he makes his statement.

"A disaster! This will be so good for ratings!"

"This will be so good for ratings!"

♫ No one disses like Mu
Disdains Ass Kissers like Mu
And pisses off elder gods
With death wishes like Mu! ♫

Mu's Fight Club cheers her on for no particular reason!

We've gotten fairly far into the scenario, and I've hardly used these guys, so...

"GO, MU!"

Mu's cheerleaders help her with her Mysticism check to identify these undead morlamaws.

Mu's Fight Club do a bunch of impressive-looking cartwheels and cheers to help her get ready to do Mysticism!

"Mysticism! Mysticism!
It's what the cool kids do!
Mysticism! Mysticism!
YOU CAN DO IT, MU!"

Invoking a use of my Alien Associates Boon. They take up no space on the battlemat and get in no one's way.

Unperturbed by the revelations, Mu's camera crew is excited. "Tell me you got that on film, Darryl!"

The brakim cameraman makes a goofy grin and answers in a thumbs up.

"TOO LATE!" Mu's crew film the whole explosion, and then find a damp towel to put out her smoldering fur.

The loose-limbed brakim that is carrying the bulk of the filming equipment grins goofily at Wheeler. "Pity on the lack of life, but we should get plenty of good candid shots from a vibrant crew like this. Sarcasm always makes for great video!"

The halfling, Holly Hellcat, looks mutinous. "Why do I always have to go for coffee? Send Thumper this time!"

Thumper the half-orc sighs, puts down his equipment, and says, "Yeah, totally my turn." Then he waves at the other Starfinders. "Nice to meet you all. Any of you need coffee too?"

This is Mu's Fightclub, my representation of her alien associates boon. They will be cheering her on, and bringing coffee and massages for everyone.

"You guys looked great!" Thumper says, carrying lights.

Greta and Holly haul the cameras. "That was some badass footage!"

Darryl says nothing as he hauls sound equipment, but he takes great pleasure in crunching pieces of Azlanti tech underfoot.

How did you achieve that effect?

"Yay, team!" Thumper high fives everyone and gives them fresh coffee. "I can't wait to film you going through that weird ship!"

I put this form at the top of the google doc in the folder I shared with you, in case you want it. You can edit the blank values with Bad Guy Initiatives and such.

EDITED because Series and SUSAN ninjaed me. The MAP is here, you can also see it if you click the link in BNW's header.

In azlant they must fly on the other side of the street...

One of the smaller scout ships streaks along your hull before exploding dealing

[dice=wilhem screaming azlanti]5d4 damage to the hull.

Darryll the Brakim looks at the exploded Azlanti scout ship. "Those Azlanti show-offs. They always have to go out with a BANG!"

Mu's team seems enthusiastic about this, and they grab their cameras and lights so they can film everything that goes down. "You can do it, Mu!"

Then they belatedly remember that there are other people on the team. The half-orc says belatedly, "Er... I'm sure the rest of you are great, too."

Thump.

Thump-Thump!

"Okay, so who else wants a workout?" Greta, Mu's sturdy dwarven assistant asks when she's flipped Mu across the room.

THUMP!

THUMP-THUMP!

As the Venture Captain knocks on Mu's quarters, she's surprised to already hear thumping. The door gets opened by a Brakim, still in coveralls. He peers down at Naiaj, scratches his head, and shrugs. "HEY BOSS!" he shouts inside. "There's some stuffed shirt here to see ya!"

Inside, all the furniture has been pushed alongside the walls, and there's a nuar tossing around a dwarf and a halfling who take turns jumping on her.

A half-orc comes to the door. "Mu's during her warm-ups this morning. May I offer you a coffee, Venture Captain?"

"But Mu... What's the first rule about Fightclub?"

Yep, it looks good. We'll have to edit it to put it in our avatars, but it's an easy start for you.

Also, this will be the avatar that I will use for Mu's fight club. She's now level 8, so I have to level her and build her out.
