Patterson LXII's page

A compact human in light armor sits quietly in the corner, nursing a glass of whiskey.

A compactly-built human at the bar points to a door labeled "Recruitment."

Got the chronicle, and it looks good. Thanks again!

Patterson has no day job. Thanks for running, GM A!

Patterson raises a fist and then does a no-hands backflip, bowing at the end of it.

Acrobatics check: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Is the band still trying to play? Does this look like a continuation of the power problems?

Invigorated, Patterson lines up and fires twice in rapid succession. His laser beams come nowhere near the mech, though.

Attack vs. EAC: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 4 = 9
Ditto: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Not many hits for Patterson this game....

I'll take that!

Patterson sings along with the crowd, waving his hands in the air as he continues to retreat from the mech.

SP recovered: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 3) = 12

Not a spell--it's a magitech personal upgrade, the standard resonant larynx. 5d6 sonic damage and deafened for 2d4 rounds; Fort save to halve the damage and negate the deafness.

Patterson is rethinking trying to melee with the mech, but it's a bit late for that. He slashes wildly at it before taking a guarded step back.

Spark knife attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

How beat-up is the mecha looking?

Patterson rushes the 'bot, drawing a knife and tumbling as he closes before sliding up on his knees, slashing at the foe.

Acrobatics check to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

Note that he has the Mobility feat, so even if he misses the check (I think he succeeds against a CR 6 foe) his KAC and EAC vs. attacks of opportunity are both 23.

Spark knife attack vs. KAC, including Opening Volley bonus and bass line: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 20
Damage, if applicable (electricity and slashing): 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Updated Patterson's icon to more closely match his current style.

Initiative check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

2 Perception checks; add +1 to each d20: 2d20 ⇒ (1, 7) = 8

Straightening the lapels of his green-and-gold synthleather jacket, Patterson takes a short step towards the mecha as he brings up his heavy laser. Actinic green light clashes briefly with the overwhelming pink ambience.

Laser attack vs flat-footed EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Laser damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

OK, Patterson will rest for 10 minutes and burn an RP to recover stamina.

Will we have a chance to rest before the concert?

Patterson grins at the costume selection. "One of my old mates would be--well, he'd be happy. In his honor, I'll go with visual kei. Say, do we still need these seals on our weapons?"

"Aye, he probably didn't know that, hey? It doesn't speak well of the folks he was working for."

"Didn't we get some info on the attack method from Lanzio?"

Patterson sets down his weaponry and tries to duplicate his feat of acrobatics getting through the crowd earlier. "It's like this--moving to the rhythm." He executes a flawless set of flips, pausing in the middle to do a one-handed handstand timed to a break in the music before finishing on the beat.

Acrobatics check: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

I've been traveling the past couple of days, and didn't have time to post; I should be able to catch up tomorrow.

Patterson hands his over with a grin. "Enjoy!"

Patterson nods. "I've got one, too. I think we can deal, hey?"

Video link from Iskakii

A comm unit behind the counter buzzes and for a couple of seconds emits the sound of a shrieking crowd over the latest Strawberry Machine Cake hit. The barkeep bangs it into silence.

The human rolls his eyes, then approaches the vesk. "Need a hand?"

Patterson takes out his comm unit and taps a quick message to Historia-7, copying the group chat. We noticed some issues with station power on our way over here, and were going to investigate after we found Lanzio. What do you want us to do with him now?

"Who's 'someone?'"

Yes.

Patterson slashes at the robot twice, fully expecting to miss.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 4 = 8
Attack 2: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 4 = 9

His expectations are met.

DC 13 Reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Patterson ducks the worst of the electrical blast. Then he closes with the robot, drawing a knife on the approach and stabbing at it.

Runner spark knife to red bot KAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Damage, if applicable, E/S: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Feh. At least I rolled well for the save.

Patterson takes a guarded step away from the robot and shoots the fleeing man.

Pulsecaster rifle to man vs. EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage, if applicable, electrical nonlethal: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

With the blue robot down, Patterson sprints into the room, skirting the reach of the red robot (he doesn't get within 5' of it, so unless it has reach it won't get an AoO against him. If it does, though, he's got Mobility for +4 AC vs. AoOs.) and drawing a pulsecaster rifle. "Stop! This won't kill you, but it'll hurt!"

Holding his attack to see what the human does.

With a militant skittermander between him and the damaged bot, Patterson fires on the red one.

Laser attack vs EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

The dicebot does not love me in particular.

Patterson's return shot is thrown off by the residual tetanic spasms caused by the robot's attack.

Laser attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

The dicebot does not love us.

The bots definitely have to go. Patterson brings his heavy laser to bear on the damaged bot and fires.

Laser attack vs flat-footed EAC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Damage, if applicable: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Did we get a description of the person we need to talk to, and if so does this person match it?

"If they have internal sensors, can you tell if anyone's in there 'fore we just open things up?"

Patterson subvocalizes on the comm, "Kaylee, what have you found?"

"Can one of you boffins see if you can figure out what's happening with the power here? Seems a mite suspicious to me, hey?"

The human shakes his head. "Reminds me of when I had to impress Zo! at some reception or other. This amazingly strong half-orc--Oda was her name--was there. She and I teamed up--she'd toss me into the air, I'd do some flips, and she'd catch me on the way down. Good times." He folds the t-shirt and stows it in his pack.

Patterson smiles at the nagaji girl as he makes sure his gear his secure. "Hang on tight, now!" In an amazing show of dexterity, he leaps through the crowd turning one-handed and hands-free handsprings and somersaults, all on the beat, and all without dropping his temporary charge. Coming out the other side, he gives the others a cocky grin, exchanging fist bumps and hand slaps with the dancers at the edge of the flash mob.

Acrobatics check: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

Patterson nods. We should keep our eyes open.

Good name for a drummer, Buddy.

Thanks, when I was creating this skitter I looked what would be his thing, so I decided to go with a musician. As a result I looked for the name

I knew of Buddy Rich so then I looked at the other well-known drummers to look for the last name that would sound well, and I found
John 'Jabo' Starks

I have a drummer bard in PFS that I did something similar with, although I misspelled his first name when I set him up and didn't notice until it was too late to change. His name is Chamius Lune, and if I'd spelled it right it would've been Chamuis Lune. He occasionally tears up his room at inns....

Patterson takes the small nagaji and puts her up on his shoulder. "There you go, hey? Just watch out for the safeties on the weaponry."

Patterson raises an eyebrow at Saeron and looks expectantly at the mystic.

Good name for a drummer, Buddy.

To Kaylee: "WHAT? SORRY, YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP."

"Let's check his quarters first. Let me set my environmental controls for noise reduction...."

"I'm thinking that one of the boffins should check the station's network. I can help a little, but it's not my specialty."
