Nimh Starfarer's page

I had one question on the Chronicle I assume the boxes to be checked were "Discovered signs" and "Defeated mining robots?" Everything else looked good.

Obviously, after we have left.

Nimh will inspect the ship to make sure they didn't get bugged while they were on the planet.

Engineering to look for bugs, I have the same bonus for Computers if that would be used instead: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

This note helps make things clearer, but It still feels unsatisfying to leave those people in that situation. I still have questions we will need to answer later.

Thanks to DM Kludde for running, and the other players as well. If those does continue, I'll have to make sure we have multiple people with string Sense Motive for the next part.

DM Kludde, did we notice whether Mayor Aliorno and first hunter Redozoko made the news that the Rock Bears were automatons Public. Roget's statement at the end makes me think they didn't publicize it, as if Ongie was supposedly killed by Rock Bears, that now means Zatteh, or whoever else might have been controlling the Rock Bears, actually killed her.

And I agree with Rani that the cookies are excellent.

Day job as Profession Zookeeper: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Here's the remote control that was used. It doesn't have a ton of range, and Zatteh was the only one we found in the area. Nimh says as he produces the remote he picked up at the site of the bear attack.

GM, earlier I asked about trying to locate surveillance based on the note Saar got at the party stating "The Mongers are always watching." I didn't see a response to that, although I understand if it is not covered in the scenario. I am grasping at straws to find a away to get around the Sense Motive issue.

Sheriff, the Mayor introduced Zatteh as his Aide when we arrived, Why would the Mayor be "quite pleased" to hear their trusted Aide has been arrested? And why did you quickly change the subject when we asked about the Mongers?

Maybe we can get some information by stirring the pot?

Before they got back to town, Nimh would have a quick word with his companions.

There is something else going on here, but I can't figure it out. I am concerned the Sherriff though. This might have been a power struggle amongst the baddies. I don't trust anyone here.

We were warned at the party that the Mongers were watching. Nimh will try to figure out how a group of traders might be monitoring the settlement.

Engineering to look for surveillance: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33

Of Course as I looked at my character, I realized I already have Amateur Hireling access and could have been rolling Culture, Medicine and Survival at +10

I started to look at the Hireling Boon for this exact reason, and it doesn't look like there is a Hireling with Sense Motive.

I think this is part of our problem. I don't think we have actually succeeded at any Sense Motive Checks.

Sense Motive, Untrained, Wisdom bonus only, low probability of success, Aid someone with a decent Sense Motive if possible: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

I'm just going to leave that there as I originally wrote it for the GM to adjudicate.

Nimh will head over to grab the controller.

Even with this confession, there are things that don't make sense. What about the records changes we found. Is she responsible for those as well. What purpose do they serve?

Engineering to understand Zatteh: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21

I hope I haven't used my promotional reroll, cause I think we need it.

Engineering to understand Zatteh: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25

Not much better, but a little bit. Saar asked a similar question?

Is there any chance we could get enough from the receiver to locate the remote control, say a frequency the control uses to transmit.

So you were hiding in the tree? Did you happen to see the person who was remotely controlling these fake rock bears?

We've had much more success here than we had talking to people back in town, so yeah, I feel better about this, and maybe a little giddy, but I think it is well deserved. Nimh comments as he sorts through the robotic bear scat in the forested area.

Saar started it!!

Engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

I suspect we can find the simple bear necessities, but let's forget about our worries and our strife

Any chance the tracks belong to King Louie?

Taking my turn assuming Saar dropped Red, because if he didn't, we're in trouble anyway.

Nimh moves over to get a bead on Blue with his pistol.

Attack with 8-notch forked pistol: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
Electrical/Fire Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Hopefully this contributes a bit.

It sems that these are robots, not bears, so we don't have to feel guilty about killing them.

He will move to his right, pulling his 8-notch forked pistol as he moves.

He casts Arcing Surge at the "Bears" DC 19 Reflex save for half of this
Arcing Surge damage: 10d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 5, 6, 4, 2, 2, 1, 2, 6) = 35

Engineering check to understand the bears behavior : 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29

I suspect these bears belong somewhere else not here in this forest

How badly are Nimh's nerves tingling? Not only is he an exobiology specialist, his day job is profession zookeeper. What would I have to roll to determine if these are real "Rock Bears" or some sort of illusions or automatons.

Also, are the stumps actual stumps, or trees? I am trying to determine line of sight.

I take it the party is up?

First off, what are we looking at

Life Science, DC is 5 less to recall knowledge for Exobiology: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Are they inherently hostile? Can we get by without a fight?

Engineering to find a way through, +4 if this is considered a trap: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

I agree. We should have scanned this whole place more thoroughly. That might have given us more of a clue as to what the heck is going on.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Life Science, DC is 5 less for Exobiology: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

Can't make the survival roll, even on a natural 20

The rest of that was disappointing

Nimh targets the Big Bird with the most damage and hits it with a Magic Missile, full round so three missiles.

Magic Missile damage to Big Bird that is most hurt: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) + 3 = 13

That's above average. I like that

You guys want to party, huh

Start with Life Science to identify

Life Science, reduce the DCs of Life Science checks by 5 when recalling knowledge about xenobiology to ID the Birds: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Just the extremes on the dice I guess

Assuming he doesn't learn they are immune to fire, or enhanced by it, he will use a move action to touch the Super-capacity battery he carries to drain it for 60 charges

The for his standard he casts Explosive Blast at the grid intersection circled in Red, DC 19 Reflex for half of
Fire Damage: 9d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 1) = 27

If he learns Fire won't hurt them, he will do something else.

Asuming someone else will lead, Nimh will try to assist survival.

Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

and the dice turn. No aid for survival

Definitely more perception to start with

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Definitely a better dice day today

Nimh also tries to remember if the term "Mongers" has an applicable meaning.

Culture on the term Mongers: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Grumble

Does the scene make sense based on what we have heard about the "Rock Bears"?

Life Science, reduce the DCs of Life Science checks by 5 when recalling knowledge about xenobiology: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Perception DC 26: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

No Medicine Skill. Any chance I could substitute Life Science?

We have to be the geekiest group ever. Lots of tech knowledge, and minimal people skills. I can't even hit that DC on a crit. Untrained and Wisdom only +1

Can we swing by the Construction site on the way to the party?

Engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took. . .

Thanks for the party invitation. I guess in a place like this, any excuse for a party is a good one.

Once the party gets off by themselves.

I'm with Saar, there are a number of things that don't add up here. I just can't figure out how they connect.

I thought I had Medicine. Must be another character. Oh Well.

Perception check in the Hospital: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

That was . . . disappointing. Going to the Hospital seems like a good idea.

I think we should see what the records say about Paoro, the priest who preceded Nikeela Phuvo.

Hopefully, someone with a better bonus will lead the investigation, but Nimh will check the records if no one else does. If someone else leads, he auto-aids again.

Nimh will contribute to any group effort to investigate, and auto-aids since his bonus is +10.

Culture to Aid, just for flavor: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

I don't know of anything that says a natural 1 is an auto-fail on skills checks in Starfinder.

Nimh would like to search the population counts.

Culture to check the population counts: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Makes sense to me Rani. I've got a bad feeling about this.

You know somebody had to say it

Nimh would like to take a closer look at the body, just to see if there is anything out of the ordinary. If that prompts any questions for Redozoko, I might hang around to ask. Otherwise, continue exploring.

Life Science, theme knowledge: reduce the DCs of Life Science checks by 5 when recalling knowledge about xenobiology: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

This is quite a formidable beast. Is it the apex predator around here?

Can't make the Sense Motive DC

Culture: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Not a clue about what might be going on

Perception at the square: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Mysticism at the Temple: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

The statue change is very hard to spot, especially when two party members roll natural ones.

Nimh investigate the Braerton Sanctuary, to check on the local belief system

Nimh will return to the Science Station to scan

Scan using Computers: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

Information using Culture: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Information using Engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33

The quintessential Nerd, Nimh doesn't get Culture

Nimh will try to rebalance the shields.

Computers to rebalance shields: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25

Since Saar is manning the weapons, Nimh will move to engineering next round. I will go ahead and roll the engineering check for next round

Nimh will attempt to Divert power to shields

Engineering to Divert Power to Shields: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

I think the DC for both of these is 25 for a Tier 10 ship

I love the smell of particle beams in the morning. It smells like Victory.

Nimh will scan the closest Drone to get more information.

Computers to scan closest drone: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25

Nimh, assuming Saar will take Engineering, jumps on the Science station.

Any chance I can get a quick scan off before hostilities?

Computers to scan if time allows: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35

I don't have much preference for ships. I'll take care of whichever ship you choose.

Nimh doesn't have any boons to use different Starships to contribute. His only Starship boons are "Hero of the Stars" and "Automated Defenses."

Nimh is the next to arrive.

After chasing after Rasheen's artifacts and then helping move a number of prisoners out of the Society's prison, Nimh is hoping for a relatively normal mission.

My chronicle looks good. Thanks to GM Valen for running for us, and thanks to all my fellow players.

Whatever you make it, you should include a tribute to the people who were wrongly confined here. We need to remember the injustices we have participated in as well as the righteous victories.

I don't know about you, but I didn't sign up to be manipulated, but I did sign up to try and make the universe a better place. Yeah, we get manipulated, put in bad situations, and have to deal with other organizations that want to destroy us. But if we aren't here, what happens? Regular everyday people have to deal with the evil organizations and people who want to wreck havoc on unsuspecting people.

At least we go into it with our eyes open, and know to look for the evil beings.

I can try to keep these two down. I don't have a way to buff Kneepuncher anyway.

Nimh moves over to get an angle to cast Overheat to catch Blue and Yellow.

Overheat Fire damage, DC 17 Reflex save? (not sure if they can Reflex if they are helpless): 2d8 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6
