Norbert Smallfoot1's page

Mine looks good now as well.

Thanks again to all for a fun game.

When I look at this scenario on my sessions tab, it appears twice. Could the entry have been duplicated?

Sorry I have been out. Thanks to everyone for a good game, especially to our GM for running.

My chronicle looks good.

I will be very sporadic posting for the next week. Real life has dealt me a messy hand at the moment. Bot as necessary

Culture: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Just barely

The adata are a special class of Kasatha aboard the Idari who remove a thin slice of brain material from Kasathas who die aboard the vessel. This brain matter is added to a vast ancestral record which Kasathas can access, even asking questions of those who have died.

We should do our best to extract her and return as much as we can of her remains to her people. Failing that, if one of you could perhaps extract the brain material to be returned?

There was that Kasathan ship the scientists found, and the Crest Eater could have been a Kasathan pet gone feral?

Norbert looks around as he speculates.

Norbert doesn't have any of the other skills, so once everyone else had a chance to try their skill checks, he will bring up the rear. Pre-rolling to keep things moving.

Stealth to sneak by: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

@GM Aerondor, would we have included a 10 minute rest in the overnight and recovered all of our Stamina?

Norbert will tie off the cable lines we have to assist in his descent, and the descent of others.

Athletics check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Norbert is definitely trying to rest enough to recover some of my ability damage.

Also, does the base have any climbing gear we can borrow or purchase? We have had some issues climbing, and the mission obviously involves descending toward this crystal.

Exploration is what we do, but a good night's rest will help us ensure we can get back from such an adventure. Besdies, it has been there since anyone can remember, so I doubt anything will change overnight.

Norbert starts looking for a bunk.

Norbert tries to get the buggy back to the base.

Piloting : 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Probably damaging it along the way.

Officially abstaining since I have run the scenario.

Go or stay, I don't care, but I need some rest either way

I can help with the computers

Computers to Aid: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Sigh

Norbert looks for some cover behind the lip of a small crater.

Bluff to Trick Attack, CR: 1d20 + 9 + 4 - 20 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 4 - 20 = 5
Attack roll on Crest Eater with Pulsecaster, versus EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Nonlethal Electricity Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Nonlethal Electricity Trick Attack Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

This thing can't last much longer.

No worries about venom versus acid. I was just making sure

Tania has been Trick attacking with Bluff. There are a couple of examples on the previous page. I would copy one of those unless she has different botting instructions.

I just realized my last attack was a Natural 20

Nonlethal Electricity Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

GM Aerondor, did you take off Norbert's 5 Acid resistance? If he takes no damage, is the Fort save still applicable?

Fort save versus DC 13 or 2 Con damage: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Norbert backs toward his friends and tries to Bluff the Crest Eater again.

Bluff to Trick Attack, CR: 1d20 + 9 + 4 - 20 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 4 - 20 = 8
Attack roll on Crest Eater with Pulsecaster, versus EAC, FF if tricked: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Nonlethal Electricity Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Nonlethal Electricity Trick Attack Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Norbert moves along the slope and tries to Bluff the Crest Eater again.

Bluff to Trick Attack, CR: 1d20 + 9 + 4 - 20 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 4 - 20 = 11
Attack roll on Crest Eater with Pulsecaster, versus EAC, FF if tricked: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Nonlethal Electricity Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Nonlethal Electricity Trick Attack Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Nope, a one on the die isn't going to hit anything.

Norbert moves up within range of the Crest Eater and tries to Bluff it.

Move along creature. This isn't your home anyway

Bluff to Trick Attack, CR: 1d20 + 9 + 4 - 20 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 4 - 20 = 12
Attack roll on Crest Eater with Pulsecaster, versus EAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Nonlethal Electricity Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Nonlethal Electricity Trick Attack Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Norbert will draw his Pulsecaster pistol and try to move stealthily up the side of the canyon.

Stealth, moving half speed: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

And I forget the +5 on my roll, so that means 17 instead of 12, so maybe a pass?

Norbert tries to descend the cable.

Athletics: 1d20 ⇒ 12

This is gonna hurt

Acrobatics to roll with it?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

I have 50 feet of cable line

Is that enough to get us down the slope?

Norbert puts the buggy into gear and the tires spin as he guns the accelerator.

Piloting check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

and probably skids into a rock

Well, that looks pretty nasty

No Life Science here.

Tania is a little better than I am in both of the required skills. I guess the options are wait for a response from Tania, bot Tania, or I can give it a go.

Let's see what there is to see.

Perception check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Not much to see, apparently

Tania did the earlier navigation at +12, but posted they would be offline for a day or so

Can we take a few minutes to rest before moving on? That "Bird" did a number on me.

If possible, Norbert would like to spend a Resolve and recover stamina, given he was hit for 5 out of his 6 Stamina in that fight.

Piloting check for the Buggy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Norbert is obviously shaken from the fight and has trouble driving the buggy down.

Here is a link to the discussion on the Paizo Forums. If BigNorseWolf beleives it, I am inclined to agree.

I remember seeing the discussion on drawing a weapon as part of a Trick Attack here and that seems to be the interpretation.

Well, that was more exciting than it was supposed to be, but then again it seems like most missions are. Should we take the bodies back for study?

I looked and I had misremembered the errata that allowed pulling a weapon during a Trick Attack movement. I thought it was broader, and it was not.

Sorry, I thought that had been errata'd, but I guess not. So this becomes a Guarded step and a missed regular shot.

Guarded step away from Pink as part of Trick Attack

Bluff to Trick Attack Pink, Spy Specialization, DC 20+Target CR: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 4 = 23
Attack Pink versus KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Trick Attack damage, also Piercing Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Two dice rolls, the base of the low level operative. I hit the Trick, but miss the attack roll

Bad bird. Go away.

It doesn't do me any good to hide if the rest of my party gets attacked instead.

Bluff to Trick Attack Pink, Spy Specialization, DC 20+Target CR: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 4 = 24
Attack Pink versus KAC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Trick Attack damage, also Piercing Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

As long as Pink is less than or equal to CR 4, and KAC less than or equal to 19, it gets hit for 6 damage

Hopefully it doesn't change anything, but the Trick attack failed. The DC is 20+CR of the target, so 17 is an Automatic failure.

I thought they looked hostile.

[ooc]No Life Science for me.[/b]

Norbert moves up to get a better shot with his pistol.

Bluff to Trick Attack Blue, Spy Specialization: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 4 = 17
Attack Blue, 2nd Range Increment: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 2 = 22
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Trick Attack damage, also Piercing Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Additional damage for Crit
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Those are really strange birds, and Dr Motressi said they are not sure how things survive here. They make me nervous.

Norbert will pull his Semi-auto Pistol, just in case.

Perception to keep watch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

There is a bunch of birds over that way as he points to the birds on the edge of the canyon.

32 checks, 2 crit fails, 26 Success

In this block of 10 checks, no crit fails, 7 Successes, Total 43 checks, 33 Success, 2 crit fails

I am not an Engineer, so one of you folks with skills should take charge of putting the tower together.

If no one else can do the Computers check to calibrate the sensors, I can try but I am not great at it.

I think Norbert is driving the buggy.

We'll get going as soon as I finish the preops checks. Go ahead and get aboard.

I'm up for whichever tower you want to start with.

Norbert will find the Exploration Buggy and start the pre-operation checks.

Thanks for running this, and thanks to everyone for playing.

Fresh food and water would be great. It is one of the things I look forward too whenever I am off Absalom station.

Yep. It is a concept being brought over from Pathfinder 2, but there is some awkwardness. Pathfinder 2 give 4 experience for a standard scenario and 1 experience for a bounty. Since Starfinder awards 1 experience for a scenario, Bounties scale down to 1/4 of an experience point.

I think we are in agreement that I'll drive an Exploration Buggy, so that sounds good.

My only Boon will be a promotional Reroll, other than the Race boon buried in Norbert's character. If I use the promotional reroll, I have 2 Novas.

While the cycles look like fun, I think we will need an Exploration Buggy for the gear. I'll drive that unless anyone objects. I can take three passengers if anybody want to ride with me.

Works for me as well

poke, poke, just because I signed this player up for another scenario
