Awesome, thank you so much! You did a great job (ESPECIALLY with the starship sequences.) I hope to play with you again sometime.

Thank you so much for running! This was a ton of fun! I will say, the thing i was most impressed with was how you ran combat. You put a lot of effort into keeping it moving, but making sure people stayed involved. Also, thanks for the humor. That was fun.

Pretending I didn't read the split timelime.

Raia, feels sympathetic for Bago's plight as she types on the computer. "I love new cultures, but I am unfamiliar with your kind. Surely your people do not always imprison one... uh... person because of the acts of the... uh... person they're attached too?"

Also, you know you're a Starfinder when you loot the two melted, decayed bodies.

I may be pushing the limits of the scenario (or being forgetful), but have we figured out what the moon is, yet?

From what I can remember, "The moon is indeed false, it has a metal interior. However, it is guarded by Goblin tribes with a tractor beam." I feel like there are some important details I'm forgetting.

-Posted with Wayfinder

We've been to the Green God, the Archer, and Borgor. I feel like those were the goblins three locations.

However, how do we know we're done on this moon? Weren't we sent here on a "investigate" mission? What is our end goal?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Raia feels very proud of everything she contributed to that fight. That overheat spell really did the trick! Go me.

Raia steps away from the giant, still intimidated. "Obo, do you have any rope, or manacles? I doubt Borgor will be as compliant as our Goblin buddy."

Raia moves out of the computer room, towards Borgor, drawing her side arm as she goes. Once she gets within range, she mutters a few words and flame spits out of her fingers at the Ettin.

Overheat (Reflex DC 15 for half): 2d8 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3
Well, that was underwhelming!

Ahhhh... that makes this more interesting.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I'm not familiar with Ettins. Can they survive if one head gets removed?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Sounds like most of us are on board!

-Posted with Wayfinder

The fact that you're waiting makes me question everything I've ever done.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Ooh, that is a VERY nice list. I always forget those. Let's go with: Special Attacks, Special Defenses, Resistances.

"Bago, you may want to rethink your allegiances."

Raia looks to her party members for encouragement, then presses Play on her computer. Borgor's voice comes over the speakers, recounting his incriminating log.

If anyone thinks this is a bad strategy, your character can shake her head no and hopefully Raia can get the message before pressing play.

Wow, that's an enormous DC. I had been wondering how computers would throw a wrench in GM's stories.

Life Science: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
Subtract five from the DC if you would call this a "rare" creature. (Is that all creatures I would try to identify? Not sure.)

Raia backs away from the monitor and bows slightly. "Hello, Mr. Ettin. We are here on a peaceful exploration mission. Do you know our friend Anlow?"
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

In the elevator, Raia whispers to the group. "When I say 'Lights', I'm about to start the strobe."

After someone braver and stronger walks through the door, Raia tentatively approaches the computer monitor and tries to get it to work.

Computers: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32

Goblins are the best!

-Posted with Wayfinder

Raia quickly disables the mainframe alarm, which is the alarm for the computer, correct? and links to her personal computer.

"Alright Anlow, let's get you away from that big scary god. How about you show us the way to the Archer?" She finishes by patting him on the head, like a child.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Thanks for the countermeasure reminder. I will not take 20.

Raia begins to make progress on the machine. "It looks like the signal is coming from the basement. I have gained access to the temperature, lights and doors. Except, unfortunately, the basement door. Let me see what I can do about this last firewall."

Computers (hack): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

There are multiple monitors. Does anyone want to throw some Aid Another rolls out there?
-Posted with Wayfinder

Raia returns to the computer station. "Ah, this should be much more effective!"

If I can take 20, I will for a 34.

Raia runs through an imaginary checklist while she types. Keycard, check. Wires fixed, check.

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Looks like the wires are shorted!"

Engineering: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

-Posted with Wayfinder

Wow, I forgot those names. Raia would probably remember them.

"Ooh! That card should help! Thank you!"

I don't want to slow the game down. GM, if possible, I will take 20 for a 34 computers check while using the card.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Raia looks around the room, easily distracted by the body on the floor. "Well... he won't be much help."
Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Raia, undeterred, heads to a computer station and mutters to herself. "Computers remember things others do not..."

Computers (Hack): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
I don't need to designate a specific Computers check, correct? Just go against the DC, trying to hack it?

Raia looks at the party, embarrassed. "I could use some more help here... Do we have some time for me to fiddle with it?" I should be able to take 20 for a 34 If we have two minutes.

That was hilarious.

Raia hides a smirk and stands back up. "Oh, I understand now. Thanks for that clear explanation. " Raia is complementing her words with other exaggerated hand motions.

Raia turns to the group. "Well, we were sent to explore this planet. This 'Green God' seems like a good place to start!"

-Posted with Wayfinder

Raia has a confused look on her face. "Ummm... ok. Where is this Gutproud now? Is Borgor nearby?"

Raia sheathes her pistol and takes a knee, to get on the same level. "Anlow, don't worry about Borgor. Look at that Vesk. She can take care of Borgor. Tell us everything."

Raia shoots a dirty look at Obozaya. "All lives and cultures have something of value. Even goblins. Probably. "

-Posted with Wayfinder

Raia dispels her Invisibility and calls out. "No tricks, goblin! Come out with your hands up!"

-Posted with Wayfinder

Raia yells "Surprise!" and focuses on her weapon, channeling magic into the technology. Then she fires once into the last goblin.

Thunderstrike Pistol: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Empowered Weapon: 1d8 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + (4) + 2 = 12

-Posted with Wayfinder

Altronus must be going off on a side quest. Lol.

GM you're doing a great job coordinating our actions.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I don't take the AoO, so as to remain invisible.

Raia, invisibly, walks past the goblins, into the hanger. Then she concentrates and, combining magic with the technology around her, pulls grease out of the air and throws it at the goblins feet.

Raia casts Grease at the feet of Goblins 1 & 2. This is not an attack. Reflex save DC 15 or fall prone.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Raia, still invisible, moves up to crouch behind some wreckage and begins to fiddle with her personal computer. Suddenly, lights in the wreckage (along the West side of the building) begin to flicker.

Targeting Goblins 1, 2, 8 with Amplified Glitch.

Computers (A.G.): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

I apologize if I wasn't clear. Casting Invisibility was my standard action.

Invisible Raia taps Obo on the shoulder and whispers. "Don't step back, I'll be right behind you."

-Posted with Wayfinder

I'm delaying till Obo moves.

Raia, hearing the goblin song, whispers to the group. "I'm going invisible, good luck." She then casts Invisibility on herself and walks beside Obo, drawing her side arm as she goes.

You were just trying to give Defi time to heal after surgery. ;)

No worries, I'm just glad we made it out of that starship combat.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Scientists are a little superfluous at this point.

Raia is excited that battle is almost over and nearly forgets her role. "A little bit of targeting never hurts!"

Target Engines: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

-Posted with Wayfinder

Oh, that made me laugh. And cry a little, but mostly laugh.

Firefly is 47% of what drew me to this game in the first place.

-Posted with Wayfinder

like a leaf on the wind.

Triggered.

Raia speaks over the intercom. "Targeting their weapons, Captain!" Ship#2
Target Weapons: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29

"Navasi, when they come around the sides, we should switch to the side guns! We may be more effective there! "

I have piloting +9, a third gunner might make this go faster, if we can get them in two firing arcs next time.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Thanks for the clarification. I got System and Starship mixed up in my recollection.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Last round I changed your target from #2 to #1, because it was closer. Since you can't Target one enemy with two effects, I'll let you decide which Junker gets the 15 and the 21.

Can't you target the same enemy with different effects? As in, Engines and Weapons?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Raia's voice comes over the com system, slightly frantic. "We've been hit! I'll balance our shields back to Port!"

Balance (Starboard to Port): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27

However much engineering patches, I'll move over the rest so that Port is full.

Ooh... my bad! I was wondering why it looked to funny...

I just found a cool starship combat guide on Reddit. In case anyone is still lost.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Raises face appears in the gunner's HUD. "Obazaya! If you shoot at the same ship, and you aim well, the guns should hit their engines and do some serious damage!"

The next time someone shoots at #3, this effect triggers. If you roll a 19 or 20, you will do normal crit damage in addition to damage to their engine. Not likely, but what's a science officer to do.

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Iseph, where are we headed?" Raia looks to see what system Navasi is working on before starting her targeting systems.

Both science officers have to act together. I'm fine with targeting a different ship, if we're in range of one after we move. Navasi, do you want to target #3, or wait to see where we move?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Raia's face appears on the screens once again. "I can't do anything about the lock! Maybe I can stop them from chasing us!" Target System (Engine): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33 Targeting Goblin #3, the close one. If the next shot which hits scores a crit (on a 19-20), bad engine stuff happens.

Navasi, I just realized I already performed my action for this turn. You can target the weapons, or your could go to the engine bay. Either way!!

Raia looks anxious. "I don't have time to go to engineering yet! I need to finish targeting their engine first!"

-Posted with Wayfinder

Are we allowed to switch positions mid battle? Two engineers would probably be better than two scientists at this point. Also, I believe we can perform the target systems action twice in a round, once per system.

Raia looks over her shoulder, "I'm not sure if I have time to get to the engineering bay!"

Gunners fired, so Goblin guns fire now. I'm going to assume they won't one-shot us. So... Engineers phase? And Scientist's phase? And Pilot roll initiative?

Raia's face appears on the screens once again. "I can't do anything about the lock! Maybe I can stop them from chasing us!"

Target System (Engine): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33

Targeting Goblin #3, the close one. If the next shot which hits scores a crit (on a 19-20), bad engine stuff happens.

See page 317 for detailed Starship combat rules. It goes Engineer -> Scientists & Pilot -> Gunners. Captain acts at any time. All ship's engineers act simultaneously. Pilots roll off to determine that round's initiative.
Scientists must go, together, before or after their pilot. Gunners act in the same order as the pilots did, with damage allocated at the end. But, GM Khaoz said the scientists and engineers can act at any time, as long as it doesn't require another action.

wow, I was totally going to chill until my phase but... that inspirational GM speech.

Raia's face appears within a screen on the bridge. "Iseph, my scanners show that they do not have side or rear guns! I suggest you strafe them and avoid the front cannon!"

-Posted with Wayfinder

GM, that was some impressive organizing. Thanks for keeping us moving.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Raia wakes up from a nap in the ships science lab with a start.

"Goblins! The only culture I didn't want to meet!"

Over the intercom Raia speaks to the bridge. "Scanning the vermin now, captain!"
Computers (scan): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19
Normally I get +14, but the Pegasus give me another +4. Correct me if that's wrong.
