Ozei Berrnshaw's page

No worries here. Thanks for running!

The...ummm...interior may need a good cleaning, Ozei admits sheepishly.

But the mission was a success!

Watdems for First Seeker! You can count on her in a pinch...because her electric wheelchair is usually out of control and pinching you.

GM Valen for Paizo Poet Laureate! Because I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist yet so the competition will be minimal.

Final Round Summary (Bad Poetry Edition!)

That was beautiful in a horrific, terrible way. Bravo!

Ozei wipes the sweat off her brow and shuts down the weapon console.

Well done, everyone. That was a tough one.

Agreed. Well done, GM. Thanks for running!

I would follow you anywhere, Watdems. :-)

Watdems, I'm really enjoying your character. If you see a similar character later on, remember that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

They must be holding together with saliva and string. Let's finish them off!

Forward Coilgun, Trinode: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5 Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 4) = 9

Ozei finds that her trigger is fouled with some sort of orange dust, causing a malfunction in the firing mechanism.

Now, where did that come from?

Seeing her target slide to the side, out of sighting range, Ozei pulls up the missile turret and fires the last missile at point-blank range.

HEML, Trinode bonus: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 1 = 20 Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (3, 7, 1, 8) = 19

HEML turret missiles 0/5

Looks like they're 11 hexes away, so not even within range of our sensors.

Ozei double-checks the firing array as she waits for the target to come in view.

It looks like from the map that we're still out of line-of-sight. Is that accurate?

GM Valen's valorious verbiage is very vvitty. Vell done!

Ozei lines up and fires again.

Coilgun, Trinode: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15 Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 3) = 15

Yaaaaaaaaa!

Forward Coilgun, Trinode: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 = 22 Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 4) = 11

Maybe this will take the wind out of your solar sails!

Forward Coilgun, Trinode, Encouraged: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 21 Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 2) = 7

Take this, boneheads!

Forward Coilgun, Trinode: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6 Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 2) = 11

Or, you know, don't. It's cool. Whatever.

Ozei continues firing the Forward Coilgun.

Coilgun, Trinode: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11 Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 3) = 11

Current range is 14 between the two ships, so Long range weapons only: Coilguns and missile launcher (the Forward Heavy Laser Cannon is Medium range). We'll need to get within 10 hexes for the sensors to be effective.

Using one of the three Trinode bonuses.

Ozei pulls up the controls for the Forward Coilgun.

Coilgun, Trinode, Encouraged: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 26 Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 1) = 8

Direct hit! Thanks,...uhh...Nameless One!

Okay with me to wait for our intrepid pilot.

Pirates? What is this, the age of sail?

Ozei settles into a gunner's position, ready to take whatever weapon is most advantageous at any moment.

Woot!

Ozei examines the exterior.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Look here. Slug impacts. They tried to dodge, but couldn't evade them all.

Read the spoiler for the rest of the story.

Of course Ozei tries to slot an insignia into the indentation.

Well, what have we here?

Read the spoiler.

Hold still so I can whack you back into last week!

Ozei moves into flanking position and strikes desperately, knowing that two teammates down -- and possibly dying -- makes this a do-or-die situation.

VoidMaw, Flanking: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15 Damage, Photon Attuned: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

Photon Attuned 2/3

Ozei moves up into position and attacks with her solarian weapon.

VoidMaw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 Damage, Photon Attuned: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Photon Attuned 1/3

LOL. Came here to make that joke, but GM Valen did it better and faster.

Ozei, having reached Full Attunement, lets her accumulated power explode in a shower of intense heat.

Supernova, Reflex DC13 half: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

Not attuned

Yeah, give someone else a chance!

Photon attuned 2/3

Voidmaw, Flanking, Get 'Em: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15 Damage, Photon attuned: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

Mysticism: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Ozei determines that it's some sort of critter, and likely dangerous.

She moves into flanking position, activating her Solar weapon as she moves and gathering to her the power of the sun.

Photon attuned 1/3

Voidmaw, Flanking: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12 Damage, Photon attuned: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Sorry, GM, I forgot to place myself. Thanks for handling it.

Reflex DC12: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 4 = 15
Reflex DC12: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 4 = 19

Ozei continues to be adept at dodging the worst of the crystals, thanks to Vchk's assistance.

Ozei tries the plant bulb, and finds it not only tasty, but nutritious!

Reflex: 20 + 2 = 22

She manages to avoid the worst of the poison storm.

And the adventuring party came to a quick and ignominious end. Search parties eventually found their desiccated bodies, clutching their useless Swiss Army knives tightly in their lifeless hands, and their mouths and eye sockets now home to fantastic and beautiful poison crystal formations...

I don't think the poison crystal storm is something to worry about. We can handle it. Hooray for lower than average Wisdom!

Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9

Umm, maybe not. What is happening?

Ozei looks increasingly alarmed as nasty looking crystal formations begin to appear all around her.

Ozei scans over the readout provided by Wats.

Hoo, "poison crystal storms". Guess we won't be doing any sunbathing here.

Thanks, GM.

Ozei pulls up a Science console and tries a quick scan, just to see if she can.

Science: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

She is able to identify an asteroid cloud surrounding the planet.

Can we Aid Another on those Science checks?

Always nice to have a ship upgrade. Thank you, Venture-Captain.

Nice work, Watdems!

Forgot to mention my own Photon attunement last round. This being my second round, I am attuned 2/3, GM allowing.

Ozei tries again with the Voidmaw.

Solarian weapon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Damage, Photon Attuned: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Don't know why Dicebot doesn't like me lately. Whatever I did, I'm sorry, Dicebot!

Photon attuned 2/3

Ozei is actually -9 HP

Ozei drops her pistol Free action and calls forth her Voidmaw Free action, which she uses on the undead crewman's face.

Solarian weapon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

SP 0/8 HP 10/11

Ozei readies her pistol and stands watch while Harqen attempts to hack the terminal.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Darkvision

She's distracted, however, by the disturbing amount of bone making up the ship's structure.

Perception DC12: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Huh. Looks like the Corpse Fleet torpedoes are getting cheaper and cheaper.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

I've never boarded an enemy vessel before. One that lacks even the option of Life Support will be interesting. We should be on the watch for both magic and technology -- Eoxians use both to power their vessels.

GM Valen gets many points for excellent Dadjokery.

Ozei slumps at her controls briefly, exhausted by the tense battle.

Well done, everyone!

Ozei lines up the Starboard cannon.

Using a Duonode bonus.

Starboard LLC, Duonode bonus: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24 Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

Let's help them along a little bit more.

Ozei lines up the Forward cannon and fires. Using the other Duonode bonus.

Forward LLC, Duonode bonus: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5 Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

The idea of a Corpse Fleet gunner removing his skull to scratch an itch distracts her, unfortunately.

Great, Harqen!

Ozei lines up the Port cannon. Using one of the Duonode bonuses.

Port LLC, Duonode: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9 Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

Groovy. Thanks for the explanation.

one of the players (with the exception of the captain or pilot) could have declared himself to be a third gunner last round and then could have fired a third weapon, one from a different firing arc, as a result of Tarqen’s successful fly-by attack.

That's (I think) what I was trying to say originally, but then this was said in response:

@ Ozei - My interpretation of the text you cited is that the maneuver does NOT grant an extra attack, but only allows one to avoid a "free attack" and reduce range penalties.

Color me "confused".

Forward, Port, and Starboard are all the same weapon mount, so as long as we don't choose Aft it doesn't matter. As I read the rules, it looks like a successful Flyby gives you an additional attack as described, in addition to any others that happen normally. So with Harqen's excellent piloting, we've got Turret and Port as normal, plus a bonus Flyby from Forward or Starboard on any chosen quadrant of the enemy. Did I get that wrong?

Ozei lines up the Port cannon.

We're coming in close! Someone man the Starboard cannon for the Flyby and take my usual Duonode bonus!

Port LLC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7 Boom! That's gonna hurt.

Mister Skullu

I don't often literally LOL, but you got me here.

Ozei pulls up the port cannon.

Nice piloting, Harqen! I've got a clear shot right up his...err..."aft quarter".

LLC, Duonode bonus: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7 Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

Right back atcha, Ace Pilot!

Ozei fires the forward cannon, using a Duonode bonus.

LLC, Duonode bonus: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 = 17 Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
