Just making sure that we've left no doors unopened.

Iseph sneaks ahead, searching for the next encounter

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

Moving behind their allies, Iseph tricks Red into an off-guarded state before blasting it with his sonic pistol.

Take-10 Stealth = 28
Trick Attack is successful on DC 8 or fewer creatures.
Trick Attack damage: 4d8 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 8) = 16

Sonic Pistol attack vs Red's FF EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Sonic damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Red remains FF until the start of Iseph's next turn.

Moving behind the group again, Iseph tries to trick Red into an off-guarded state before blasting it with his sonic pistol.

Take-10 Stealth = 28
Trick Attack is successful on DC 8 or fewer creatures.
Trick Attack Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 3) = 18

Pistol attacks vs FF Red's EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Sonic damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Note: if that Trick attack is successful, then Red is FF until the start of Iseph's next turn.

Moving behind the group, Iseph tries to trick Red into an off-guarded state before blasting it with his sonic pistol.

Take-10 Stealth = 28
Trick Attack is successful on DC 8 or fewer creatures.
Trick Attack Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (8, 7, 4, 1) = 20

{istol attack vs Red's FF? EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Sonic damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Iseph nods, indicating their integrated Jetpack.

"Ready to fly? Always."

Iseph's diplomatic skills are mediocre, at best, so they opt not to engage in any discourse.

Iseph sees no reason to move, so they try being stealthy instead, hoping to connect with Red.

Trick Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34
That'll work vs CR 14
Trick Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (2, 8, 2, 7) = 19

Thunderstrike Pistol vs Red's FF EAC with Coordinated Shot from Belor: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 1 = 21
Sonic damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Iseph ducks around and behind some scraps of Rasheen's ship, popping back out to shoot at Red.

Trick attack vs CR: 1d20 + 18 - 20 ⇒ (5) + 18 - 20 = 3
Trick Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (1, 2, 8, 4) = 15

Thunderstrike pistol vs Red's (FF?) EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Pistol's Sonic damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Iseph is disappointed...

Iseph slips closer, using their Stealth to throw the Red off just enough to make it flat-footed. (Take 10 Trick Attack works up to CR 8 based on Stealth +18)

Iseph's sonic pistol vs Red's FF EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Sonic damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Trick Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 4) = 12

I'm off to a con in Dallas (North Texas RPG Con) from Wednesday thru Sunday, so I won't be watching this as closely as normal.

I'll still try to check at least daily.

Iseph eyes the beasts as they overfly the ship, moving to a good shooting position. He wields his sonic pistol in one hand & the graviton pistol in the other.

(Depending on whether they're still flying or not, that will determine which pistol gets fired vs Blue - the graviton if Blue is flying, the sonic pistol if it's on the ground)

Trick Attack (Stealth +18) = Tricked & Flat-Footed if CR is 18 or less
Pistol vs Blue's FF EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

If on the ground, it's the sonic pistol: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Trick damage: 4d8 ⇒ (3, 5, 2, 7) = 17

or

If in the air, then it's the graviton pistol. DC 18 Reflex save to avoid a 20-foot drop toward the ground.

Iseph examines the pistol, ensuring its functionality.

"A tensor-model graviton pistol. Perhaps I could make use of this. Does anyone else have a desire to use it? There were also some Model IV Frag grenades, but I'm not trained in their use."

Rolling for Ispeh as well

Sleight of Hand DC26: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

Iseph nods, & falls in line for the exploration.

3 out of 4 are winners.
Nice

Who's the 4th?

Is it possible that the mission is a Replayable one?

It looks like we're moving ahead to the next scene.

My kid starts her week-long spring break today and we are going to visit Grandma. I'll still be able to post but likely with reduced frequency until after April 13. I appreciate your understanding.

Do you mind being placed on Delay to move the initiative sequence ahead in your absence?

Fwiw, my guess is that Dr. Z will have the last laugh & the best revenge on his critics by sheer dint of outliving them all.
It's good to be an elf.

Same here - though I'll take one with the artwork once you complete it.

I'm fine with playing 7-05 with Dr. A-Prof.

I'm ok with playing up.
We'll just need to protect the envoy.

Be sure to fill in the RPG Chronicle sheet & to drop your token & details into the map.
Links are up top.

Traveling the next three days, though I'll make time to check in daily.

Hey - got the call this morning.

My current plan is to dust off Shaft, Crank Shaft (my android operative 6) for this mission, though my L5 Mechanist Evolutionist is in the last round of the final combat in another mission (so I guess that Dr. A-Prof is a tentative possibility as well).

Am I following the rules for Greater Command properly?

I think that'll be our GM's call.

Greater Command expands on the basic Command spell.

The Drop command says:

Drop: The target drops whatever it is holding. It can’t pick up any dropped item until its next turn.

Greater Command extends the duration to rounds/level & grants a new save every round at the start of the PC's turn.

This spell functions like command, except you can affect up to one creature per level and the targets continue the specified activity beyond 1 round. At the start of each commanded creature’s action after the first, it can attempt another Will saving throw to break free from the spell. Each creature must receive the same command.

I was planning to play it that Q-K couldn't recover & keep her grip on her dropped rifle until she shrugged off the spell, but she managed that (against impressive odds) the next round. Plans were to have her swap to a new, un-dropped rifle.

New laptop - back in the game.

Nice boon.
Thanks again for running.

GMKludde - I always enjoy your music/band inclusions in the session

I'm beginning to feel that Zahenni has a middle name, & that middle name is Rasputin.

She just... won't... cease to be a problem.

For those who are slowed (Omni, Kneepuncher, Chryssi), remember that Slowed means you get either a move or a standard action & your movement rate is cut in half.

Not fun at all.

How're we looking, so far as nearness to the end of this mission?

I'm juggling PC options for an upcoming 7-10 mission & wondering if Omni might be available.

The last group took about 1-2 weeks to finish from the point where you are now. This one runs a bit long.

Thanks for the update.

At least the turns are going quickly.

May be less for Omni - that random roll took her into a dead-end area where she can hide - well out of sight of the scary guy. Though she'll probably hide in one of those tiny rooms.

Good luck, you two.

Being taken off the board for 10 rounds is gonna be painful.

Or if 0-Rion can find some spell gems of Share Language, Kendra can cast them via her Spell Gem Understanding ability.
Those are good for 24 hours each.
140 credits each

We may not even need a Captain.
I've often found that 2 gunners outperform a Captain & a Gunner.

A question for Phaeton_nz.

Should Chryssi's weapon include a +3 damage for weapon specialization?

Great game, as always.

Are we close to completing this mission?

Trying to judge Dr. A's availability.

I have the same access issues.

As the rest have said - I had a fun time playing.

Hey - is there any chance that we can pick up the pace a bit?
I'm hoping to have Grump free for Outpost in early March.

Complete agreement with all the comments.

Had fun.
Sheet looks good.
Hope to game with any/all of you at a later date.

Just a weird tangent here.

We tried getting Lexa Doig as a media guest for a local sci-fi/gaming con at one point. We'd heard that she liked playing D&D, so she seemed like a good fit.

Alas, she didn't make it to the con, but we did get a good story from her response.

She replied that though she would've loved to attend, and maybe bring her half-elf PC to one of the tables, the con was happening right in the middle of Andromeda's filming season.

Can someone else take a stab at hacking the system?

Happy New Year to you as well, Kate!

Indeed - Happy New Year!
