"When was the last time you spit blood in the face of your enemies?" a sibilant voice asks over the speakers. "What about the freezing blast straight from the ice-wyrms of Triaxus, have you ever breathed ice into the face of your enemies?" The sound of a cold, refreshing bottle of ale accompanies the voice that promises as much pleasure as it does violence.

"When was the last time your wounds closed themselves, or your scales resisted the... penetration of a Night. Arch. Needler?" a second voice pulses. It is just as luscious, but with an accent of sophistication and intelligence.

"Have you ever wondered," asks a third voice "how FUN a prehensile tail could be? An extra arm? What about Vilderarian tentacles, ever wondered how fun tentacles can be?"

"Then let us," all three voices say in unison, "Augment your adventurous side!

A very tall, well-proportioned Vesk appears on the vid. He has many frills, scutes, and spines that are hard to imagine in a single species let alone on a single person. Highly polished subtympanic scales speak to a high degree of fashion.

A monocle dangles from a string that disappears into an impressive beard. "I am Senior Research Director Q'Qwaan. I have scoured the Pact Worlds--and beyond--for all the best adaptions life has to offer."

"We are Helix Artistry Ventures," the three voices return. "Let us spice..., one voice giggles make that splice "...up your life!

"Helix Artistry Ventures, for all you genetic needs!"

With no new samples to work on, Q'Qwaan returns to his previous work enhancing the DNA of durability. There is a commonality among his augmentations that he hopes to improve upon.

Profession Bioengineer: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

"Quite right. Good times aplenty whatwhat, even in my retirement years. Why just the other day..." QQwaan will reminisce about a recent hunting expedition as an Starfinder assignment. He cleans and polishes his doshku as he does so, even though it is as clean as when he arrived.

Another game in which I dealt zero damage! I'm the worst solarian ever! :)

BADWRONGFUN!

On the other hand, I've never seen my spells do so much damage. (Which isn't saying much :)

Thanks for GMing VampbyDay!

...

The operative, meanwhile, doesn't look like he's moving fast enough to trick anyone.

"For the TRUTH!" he shouts and then stabs at Q'Qwaan

Switchblade attack, KAC]1d20+8
damage if hit]1d4+4 piercing

Q'Qwaan (1) or image (2-4): 1d4 ⇒ 2

Bump.

I need y'all's opinion a ruling as I may have been using one of my magical hacks wrong. Is the duration of Supercharge Weapon One round or less? If not, Extended spell doesn't work with it. Supercharge, is of course, why I chose the hack :)

QQwaan takes a well executed swipe at the operative.
doshku: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
ccrRUUNnch: 2d12 + 3 + 4d6 ⇒ (9, 7) + 3 + (3, 3, 3, 3) = 31

Is there a t-shirt reroll? >:( doshku: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

As a Side Note, Q'Qwaan, I think your ACs are too high. The only armor I can find that grants +10/+10 is a level 8 armor which, even if it showed up on a chronicle sheet, you could only buy at level 6. Even then it would only give you AC 22. Please double check your armor.

Level fixed. I also updated the rest of my profile.

The technomancer casts a spell using magic to bring the essence of the art to the weapon: bringing the doshku to the doshku. He then moves opposite Vecro to flank the operative.

provoking an AoO or three (mirror image still active)

I need y'all's opinion as I may have been using one of my magical hacks wrong. Is the duration of Supercharge Weapon One round or less? If not, Extended spell doesn't work with it. Supercharge, is of course, why I chose the hack :)

Can we adjust the map? Technically everything above QQwaan/Owen are off the slide and do not show up on the tablet.

Also: there is an angry Batman on this map! :)

AoO? Radial Spines: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7, slash: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Q'Qwaan moves up to an advantageous position and performs the fourth form, a simple but classic back-swipe maneuver that brings the points of the weapon into contact with his opponent's abdominal area.

+2 for flanking? Or following the technomancer
doshku: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14, crunch: 2d12 + 3 ⇒ (4, 8) + 3 = 15

I didn't see he moved (tablet issues with map). I will move to get two of them, preferably the most wounded. Please move me on the map as you see fit. :)

"Glorious!" Q'Qwaan shouts of the battle!

Espousing another genetic adaption of the reptilian superiority, the Senior Research Director opens his mouth and reveals the wyrm glands inside.

cold: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 5) = 12 15 foot cone, catching all three Vesk. Reflex for half DC 15.

I just realized I could probably supercharge the glands. :!)

The supernova covers only the Vesk Solarian I could not make it hit anyone else without hurting one of ours.

"Don't worry about me whatwhat," the Vesk thumps his chest, "Surely, you have heard of the lizard's separation from their tail?"

Unless we had a chance to talk of it, you may not know that QQwaan has a backup system to keep him from dying & is willing take risks he can exaggerate later into greater tales than they are. :) Go expand him into your blast if you want (or the next one)

Q'Qwaan touches the monocle once again bending the rules of physiccs and creating multiple images of himself. "Once more, into the GLORIOUS breech." he says and strides forward with doshku in one hand.

mirror images: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Flenn's movement leaves a space directly in front of the door. I was confused by the different avatars. :P So I am going with a modified spoiler 'yes' above.

Q'Qwaan moves into the room and drops the door closed. AoO?

Depending on Flenn's final space, I can get into room. Though, I can't also close the door before the flying thingies enter. Is someone else able to?

"Which of you soldiers can close the door for an old officer?"

Oops, sorry I meant to add 'Fortitude' when I added the DC. Fortitude, moon flower graft.

Not bad. I will attempt to slow them, follow the rest of you in.

"Only two, I will hold these...
LiSci: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 (3 less if PhySci or Mys) augmented flying wurm thingies."

The old vesk holds up a hand where a small bud seems to grow. With a flash the bud opens into a full moon flower bloom, complete with a blinding flash.

30' cone to catch both, DC save 15 or blinded for 1d4 rounds

"Proof? whatwhat I'd sooner expect a skittermander to let their house dog defecate on my lawn. Come to think of it, I expect your proof would smell about the same."

He nods to the monitors, "Honorable vesk are dying there. Stand down your traitors, & I will listen to your proof."

QQwaan just assumes he is in charge, feel free to counter/ignore his commands. :)

"Quit right, after you. I shall guard our 'VI'"

"I have a bad feeling about this..."

"I don't care what you smell. Into the...

"Oh. That way works to," he says upon seeing Owen open the door.

He also shares the instructions from the posters with the halfling. (Same trap?) Is Engineering Aid possible? (+12 if so :)

Perc: 1d20 ⇒ 2

“To prevent the escape of research subjects,” QQwaan reads the posters. "These contain explicit instructions to operate the biohazard scanner and the laser incinerator."

""What kind of base did he say this was?"
Profession Bioengineer: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 (-5 to DC for BioCorps, Augmentations, Biotech)

Q'Qwaan sputters for a long while. "Sl...! S...? Sloppy!? I say!" He gathers his breath "How trained can they be if the don't understand basic science?" Whatwhat! "30 seconds. Done in 30 seconds & with no casualties! Why I lost more time against a dozens of desert bandits...." The insults soon lose out to tales of glorious battles only Q'Qwaan hears himself drone about.

"Citizens. Whatwhat? Exploring. Exploring the disturbance of a military complex. And Reporting it. Why sir, you will see these Starfinders excel at that!"

I will take the other healing serum, as he is usually out of combat and can administer when needed. I would also like a full power pack (even if it means transferring charges) as I can turn it into another casting.

"Classic Champions Gambit," QQwaan says striking with a traditional doshko form, "With a bit of flair!"

Cast supercharge weapon: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 3, 3) = 15
step 5', Doshko v red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12, splortch: 2d12 + 3 ⇒ (10, 11) + 3 = 24

Is step five foot a free action in SF? If not: move to flanking, skip casting

"Not dead whatwh.... Oh verrry good soldier. Lie down." Q'qwaan says to the blue soldier. "Now why don't do the same!" he tells green.

Doshko: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7, splortch: 2d12 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 = 9
move to flanking

"Let the nanites take this one," Q'Qwaan nods at the blue vesk. The old vesk walks passed blue (AoO?) and forward to stand by his ally Gustav. He takes a smack at the commander vesk.

kKlunk v. Orange: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18, slash: 2d12 + 3 ⇒ (1, 8) + 3 = 12
I will affect map later tonight, but adjacent to Gustav.

No, each of the back two cast daze monster, at least that was the initial plan, one on you, one on Owen

I missed an 'and' in an earlier post. :( all good. :)

Owen would also not be a target*. Normally* it affects one target... so it seems to have worked perfectly. :)

*normally, but I understand feats/hacks/plots may be in play :)

Blue will take 5 acid at the end of his turn (& the the next three).

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11. additional +2 if fear affect.

Q'Qwaan steps up brandishing his doshku then brings it down on the idiotic vesk in blue.

kKlunk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22, slash: 2d12 + 3 ⇒ (7, 10) + 3 = 20

also, can't affect map from tablet. Could someone move me forward please?

spot of retcon...

"Tonkono is it? Get me the form I need to see the records of Constable O'Odowaro's meeting with the undersecurity from two days ago. Away soldier, you don't want to keep an old officer waiting do you?"

"Good work soldier," he says when the data pad is presented. "I shall put a recommendation on record with your superior officer."

Can the leader being a geneticist lead to any clues?
Profession Bio-engineer: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21 DC is 5 less (maybe)?

...

"Boss! Those are Starfinders! Obsessed with uncovering the past!"...

QQwaan grins, "'THE past'? whatwhat So you understand there IS a past. To the pathfinders he says, "Let this one live gentlemen, I think he will be of use to us.

Sorry thought I posted yesterday.I will have a bigger post later.

Q'qwaan touches the monocle and an image of a clock appears in nis vision. The mage-core officer targets the underling who spoke with a spell, converting the air around it into burning acid.

ranged v EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21, acid: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 3) = 10 using resolve point to extend the spell. (caustic conversion, No save, but SR applies)

Describe the trap... the vesk demands.

Then Qqwan nods at the kasatha and says, "Quite. Export. Import"

In so many scenarios I play, Q'Qwaan is the skill-monkey (-tailed skink). It is weird when we have so many social skill checks. :)

Q'Qwaan stops just outside the Cenotaph's main plaza. He pays his respect for the fallen, including his grandfather and great grandfather. His words do not stop. Instead they continue to drop in volume before getting louder again, at least for some of us. It is not out loud however as his words come directly into your mind. "Just like we talked about quiteright?

To the man in the blue cloak, do not be alarmed whatwhat. A friend sent us and we are here to discuss your organization.,

I assume I shared this plan on the way to the meeting. Q'Qwaan will cast telepathic message on himself, three of us others and the man in the cloak. One of those connected should stand near the contact, to show him the note if need be. Those not connected should stay back with me, so I can relay the conversation from a distance apart from the others.

Life Sciences: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Q'Qwaan approaches the garden's appreciatively and speaks only vesk to Fuzokiyo. "Whatwhat! of course we teach them what is proper. The Veskarium is the culmination of so many natural and social evolutions, quite right!" Under his breath he adds "It is sometimes a struggle to get things into the mammalian brains, but not so difficult as fighting the bandits of Treskian Hills. Honorless, those bandits. Much like these 'Keepers.' They would deny the superior physical, and intelligence specimens we vesk have evolved into!"

"I say, do you have any moonflowers here? If not I have a perfect example of their DNA. I got it while fighting..." The old vesk launches into a story of impossible odds and overcoming coming them with a simple, but clever tactic.

no skills of note, but will aid if I can...
1d20 ⇒ 2

Qqwaan spits a cone of cold energy when he hears the description.

. He’s known as ‘The Dragon’... part of a joint Pact Worlds–Veskarium brutaris exhibition back when... his allegiance is to the Veskarium,... He’s quite vain... had several interesting augmentations done as he’s aged.”

Someone's gotten into my backstory. :)

"A little more respect for a retired officer Sub-major. These off-worlders are with me whatwhat We have the code and that is all you need know." I really need to invest skills in that part of my backstory.

"Quite Right." Qqwaan asks about the leads, while silently categorizing potential future augmentations.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

"Return to Vesk? whatwhat. I accept.

"Did I ever tell you about the time I chased off a gang of cultists? Qqwaan says starting to the docks.

Qqwaan moves to the remaining vesk and drops the heavy quartet of blades on it.
R3 Doshko: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13, crunch: 2d12 + 3 ⇒ (2, 10) + 3 = 15

If the others haven't dropped them, Qqwan will attack again on R4.

Doshko: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13, crunch: 2d12 + 3 ⇒ (10, 10) + 3 = 23

The old vesk flips the haft of his weapon downward, its blades nearly skim the ground but he rotates the the other end over his shoulder, catches it in both hands brings the blade smashing down on the red vesk!
"I learned that in Fourth Form Doshku, whatwhat! Long before your dewlaps even dropped boy!'

doshku: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8, splortch!: 2d12 + 3 ⇒ (6, 3) + 3 = 12

"Speak to me of blasphemy?!? The nerve!"

also forgot to roll for images: 1d4 ⇒ 3

I was lurking, but unable to get logged in. I cleared cookies three times and today it finally seems to have stuck. (Plus I had to go into paizo specific cookie-jar.)

"Ho Ho! Let me show you a little about honor kis ploch." Q'Qwaan touches his monocle while quoting ancient vesk texts. The eyepiece glows, then the light shimmers over his whole form. As he steps forward the light leaves an outline of the tall vesk. Another step toward the cowards another outline forms around him. The outlines follow Q'Qwaan, turning into images of him as he draws his doshku. "kis PLOCH!"

Cast mirror image, move forward trying to block LoS to pinned down, Narbal.

Q Qwaan sits next to the ysoki at the table. "Maybe you can find a fiefdom with less need of youth whatwhat" the vesk pulls a deck of cards from his pocket. "Abarat Towers perhaps?"

"Have I ever told you about the time I replaced my first limbwhatwhat? It was for the Vestucky Seniors Triple crown. Imagine a Vesk of 80 years running on the limbs of a rendoka! I have seen a draelik completing the Kiranti run on treads. Nearly broke my own record whatwhat"

The old Vesk looks through his monocle at the Ysoki's limbs.

"Mechanical are nice, but for my experience you can find better. You could grow your own. The regenerative powers of the fence lizards are renowned, but it is not unheard of in even the mammals. It is all about finding the right alleles."

Profession Bioengineer: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

QQwaan is tall, even for a Vesk. He has many frills, scutes, and spines that are hard to imagine in a single species let alone for a single person. Highly polished subtympanic scales speak to a high degree of fashion.

A monocle dangles from a string that disappears into an impressive beard. The eyepiece has no glass but all the markings of a holographic overlay sight system. He leans on a big stick of some red alloy, topped with several crystaline spikes.

"Retirement whatwhat? Who should be so brave to leave the dangers of space and exploration and adventures to sit in a leather-back chair writing about dangers and exploration and adventures?

As an old adventurer himself he will toff his top hat and offer good wishes to the party of honor.

While I have tou all assembled...
I would be willimg to run a game, provided we can all find something :)

Looks good, thank you :)

Aye, Kultanien totally rocked it. She & Viper almost carried the whole thing. Q'Qwaan has a lot of the sciences & usually helps that way. Still a good show & a fun run.

Thanks GM Skeemo!
