Nilan Milarne's page

Here's what I came up with

Nilan is a former student of the local librarian Jorell Blacktusk. Nilan left some year and a half ago to make his name, and is now returning to Breachhill after hearing about the call for adventurers. He arrived a little late, but is still willing to help.

Words to describe Nilan:
Secretive
Organized
Twitchy

Why does Nilan adventure:
To gather knowledge and power
To fulfill his dream of becoming a powerful Wizard

=/Sucks. I really liked this one.

2 Bots, sorry for not checking sooner.

Yeah... let's make sure no more of your mates get caught up with Slivvy.

Nilan reloads his pistol and motions the others to continue forward...

Nilan looks around for cover and hides....

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Nilan draws his pistol and holds it at the ready

I'm pretty sure this is bad...

I wonder if we can get that code. Getting in would be easier if we could do such a thing.

Steal a ship and pretend to be bringing cargo. Get inside the facility that way. AAF makes an attack on the other side, which allows us to sneak in and damage/disrupt their operations and find Slivvy

Nilan will try and get a secure message to 5-AM and the AAF. He requests a meeting, somewhere in the city.

If we can get the AAF to do the heavy lifting forus... he says with a shrug.

Nilan is itching to bring it down on Slivy's head....but he knows he'll need allies and he doesn't want to alienate anyone. He'll voice that opinion that Slivvy should be the priority out of pure self interest....but he's willing to go along with another plan.

Does Longshot have something that needs to be done?

Survival: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Let's get going... Nilan says, knowing that this room held clues, but not sure to what mystery they belonged.

Nilan takes a look at the computers and datapads

Computers: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Doing the same as Blask

Nilan fires and moves, trying to keep the creatures at a distance.

Trick Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Kinetic Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4

Trick Attack DC=CR+20: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17
Trick Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Nilan puts his hands on his holsters....just in case.

Nilan grabs a box of Tempweave Armor LVL4 preloaded with an Infrared Sensor LVL1 . He then spies something curious, a holoskin.

This'll be useful. he says

Sorry GM, Thursdays are always bad for me posting, and Wednesday we were doing Valentines at home so =/

Nilan snarls, aims, and fires. He moves again, keeping the statue as cover.

Tactical Rotating: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Trick Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17
Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7
Trick Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Nilan fires at the nearby Aspis merc

Tactical Rotating: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Trick Attack DC=CR+20: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 2 = 7
Trick Damage: 3d8 ⇒ (8, 3, 3) = 14

He darts behind the columns to avoid return fire.

Nilan doesn't mind being bait......

We need the hardware to assault Slivvy...so be it. Aspis owes us anyways, the way I see it.

I'd bet the AAF has a need for weapons...this might get their interest. As would freeing a few hundred slaves. You can't possibly think all those androids are there of their own free will. Not after we saw what we saw.

Nilan says Longshot. Can you send a message to 5-AM. Let him know we need to talk.

Nilan pats his six shooter

I've got a score to settle with a Ysoki myself. Nilan says, indicating his willingness to do violence against the slave trader Slivvy.

Things have...changed a bit Longshot. Nilan will fill the halfling in on how Silvvy's errand turned into our backstabbing Slivvy.

But we've got credits and a new ship now so, there's that.

Take the pile of favors....leave some credits. We'll need some to lay low. Nilan says

Slivvy's the buyer on Incubation Prime. Nilan adds

Does Slivvy normally do her own pickups...thats a potential ambush.

Debilitating Trick (Ex) - 4th Level
When you hit an enemy with a trick attack, you can make the creature flat-footed or off-target until the beginning of your next turn. You might learn exploits that grant you additional options for your debilitating trick, but you can select only one option each time you hit with a trick attack.

Lightning Reload (Ex)
Source Starfinder Armory pg. 150
You treat all small arms that do not have the automatic weapon special property as having the quick reload weapon special property.

Nilan shrugs.

We won't be safe if we show our faces while that Bastard Slivvy lives. We deliver the androids to Early Bird and get him and the AAF to help us wipe Slivvy off of that godsforsaken rock.

Nilan continues blasting.

Tac Rotating Pistol: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Trick DC20+CR: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9

and failing.

Nilan fires at the lead creature and ducks around the two Vesk

Tac Rotating Pistol: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Trick DC20+CR: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4

Thanks for the bot GM. Sorry.

It's been a rough couple days. I'll be back to a normalesque schedule on Monday.

Nilan gives Jink a shrug. Sorry mate. You guys look the same..

Good idea Caloo. Get on that. Get them aboard our ship. The rest of us will look for whats left of the crew.

Nilan moves forward and checks the hallway, then begins creeping along the corridor

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Nilan quickly reloads his pistol and he surveys the corridors nearby.

If there's more on board, they are likely coming.

to Jink he sends Primary threats neutralized. Do you have any idea where the rest of the crew is located.

Nilan fires at nearby electrical pipes, trying to get the Trox distracted and off balance.

Tac Rotation Pistol: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Trick! DC CR+20: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23 If successful the attack makes the creature flatfooted.
Damage: 2d4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (3, 3) + 1 + (5) = 12

Nilan gives Caloo a grin and then fires at the Vesk

Tac Rotation Pistol: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Trick! DC CR+20: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
Damage: 2d4 + 1 + 1d8 + 4d6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 1 + (6) + (3, 6, 6, 4) = 32

Nilan blows smoke from the tip of his smoking pistol.

That was nice. he tells the Bantrid

Nilan raises his autocannon and says

Sorry mate. You picked the wrong cargo.

Tac Rotation Pistol: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Trick! DC CR+20: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
Damage: 2d4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 1 + (3) = 10

Nilan fires his weapon and darts to the left, attempting to put a little distance between him and the, now angry, Vesk.

ALL. LOCK. NOW. Nilan sends back

Nilan sends to Glitch as he pretends to be ill Hey buddy. If you could lock the airlocks right now that would be awesome.

Gonna wait to see what everyone else does before I get after it some more... ideally we wanna separate the Trox from the Vesk.

I kinda wish everyone else had posted something about what they were doing while Nilan was doing his thing. It would have made the scene much more interesting. As it was, only Glitch took advantage of the distraction.

Nilan doubles over in fake pain and bites his lip until it bleeds. He then covers his mouth, fake coughing heavily and smears some blood on his lips and mouth.

Oh. Gods. I don't feel so well. Nilan steps towards the Vesk with the gun. He's trying to get her to back up into a corner or flee into their ship. He reaches out and staggers.

Nilan wore his Bluffomatic pants.

The Plan: Will almost certainly devolve into shooting very shortly. But maybe he can get everyone a surprise round or something.

Alright then. Let's get ta loading. Nilan says

The Plan: Nilan will let the Trox get aboard our ship and then shut the airlock, or if he's lucky jettison the big thing out the airlock. Basically, he wants to isolate the Trox from the Vesk. If he can do that here...he'll try it.

Nilan motions his head to the Ysoki. He gives them eyes that say "go check the rest of this place"

and then Nilan begins coughing so hard he thinks he might rupture a lung. He's trying to get the Vesk to look at him, and he'll try and turn the Vesk so her back is to the Ysoki.

BLUFF!!!!!!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Yeah so. What's in the crates? Nilan asks innocently sounding enough

Nilan takes a look around Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

GM, does Nilan have any reason to think these are the only two on board, or are there more crew members?

And presumably our ship too... looks like everyone was killed.

Sorry for the delay. Yes, Nilan would be good with that plan.

Let's do it. Nilan keys over to Early Bird.

To Glitch Nilan says Can you hack comms and make some calls if I get you on board?

Nilan keys up the AAF fighters and says

We were supposed to gather the cargo. We do that. Exactly on our mark, once the cargo is loaded onto our ship, you attack. Destroy the hauler...but let them get a mayday message out. We need Slivvy to think we were all attacked and killed. Once that happens, we go down to the surface and discuss how you get us out from under Slivvy.

For the moment, Nilan wants to side with the AAF.

Nilan's not a joiner though...so he won't be turning in a registration.

Nilan mutes 5-AM again so he can't hear this next bit

Yeah, except why would the Corp be mad at us...when they could be mad at the AAF? We get Slivvy out from over us, the AAF gets their Androids. Win-Win. Trust me.

Slivvy ain't the corp. The corp won't want slaving to come out, nobody wants that.

RE: Oras. I think running a really devoted Technomancer a pretty cool idea.

@Everyone Thanks for at least for now going to Nilan. If you guys haven't figured it out...I'm basically playing Han Solo, or rather the archetype he represents. A rogue with a fatal flaw...a sense of morality. Slavery and murder aren't something he's comfortable with...he's by no means a good guy, but he's not evil either.

Nilan says to the others, and specifically not 5-AM Yeah. Gimme a minute here. We can come out of this smelling like Thirgbuds. Trust me. famous last words Nilan thinks to himself

Nilan then flips over to 5AM's channel.

5-AM. It's not about that. We have a problem, you can help. We weren't exactly..asked nicely...to retrieve this cargo. Now that you and your pals are here...we can do a swap. We can turn the cargo over to you...no shots fired. BUT. Your pals gotta help us with a certain...minor, issue. The "owner" of the cargo. It's a win-win. Trust me.

Nobody gets the better of Nilan Milarne you scumsucking slag heap Slivvy.
