Yes, this was a very fun game! Thank you for running, I really enjoyed playing in this game (even though I did almost die in the end there!)

Pulling himself to a sitting position, Ranif will take a moment to catch his breath. He then draws out his healing serum and administers it to himself, letting out a small hiss as the healing begins to take effect.
He will then remain sitting until everyone else is ready to go, knowing that the rest will likely do them more good than he.
Cranston, I believe that you are applying a penalty to your attack roll for no reason. As far as I am aware, there is no penalty to making a ranged attack into melee in Starfinder, so both of your shots may have hit.
Ranif manages to grunt out a reply as he continues to attack. "Yes, Captain!" He turns the blade of his weapon onto the two demons adjacent to both him and Kragga, but his swings are slowed by the immense amount of pain he has been subjected to over the course of this battle.
Seeing the two nearest demons begin writhing in pain, Ranif takes the opportunity to move himself to a more tactically advantageous position. He then brings his weapon down on the creature that appears to be writhing the least.
Feeling the wave of healing energy wash over him, Ranif shakes his head as he returns his attention to the enemies facing him. He launches himself into a new offensive, first slashing at the small Demonic form flitting around near his head, then chopping down at the Drow warrior.
Congrats! I hope everything goes well for all of you!
Seeing the Drow mystic fall to the ground, Ranif will turn towards the other enemies. Forcing his pain-wracked body to move, he steps away from the nearest Drow and annoying small demon. Looking between the two opponents, he swings his blade down upon the Drow.
Able to move more freely now that the vines are no longer impeding his movement, Ranif will advance into the room. As he moves, he tries to longer provide any sort of cover to any of their opponents. Reaching a point to where he can fairly easily attack two opponents, as well as keep an eye on the motes of darkness, he returns to his offensive stance he had taken against the female Drow.
Nimbly dodging out of the way of several of the vines trying to grab him, Ranif will launch pair of strikes at the female Drow. The first is a simple sideways sweep aimed at her legs, which he quickly follows by spinning the weapon in the opposite direction over his head and launching the blade at her side.
Seeing the opportunity, Ranif swings out with the Dragonglaive as the female Drow extends her arm back.
If attack hits:
If attack misses: As GM Jimbles' post.
Thank you, and I that is an amusing analogy!
Question for GM: Would that action have provoked an attack of opportunity from Ranif?
Ranif will attempt to close to melee with the Drow, brandishing his Dragonglaive in what he hopes is a menacing gesture.
However, the vines wrap around his legs as steps into the room, halting his movement.
.
Flexing the muscles in his legs and tail, Ranif will attempt to burst his way out of the vines through sheer strength.
Ripping himself free from the vines, Ranif proceeds to stomp into the room. He closes with one of the Drow, but makes sure that the female Drow is within the reach of his weapon as well.
I may wind up being unable to post until sometime early Tuesday. If it winds up necessary to bot Ranif, he continues to take point in the party, moving to stay in front of as many people in the party as possible. That said, he will let Lucille go before him, knowing that she can easily scout ahead. If it comes to combat, Ranif will target the largest threat to the party, generally single attacking except when a full attack seems worth it. He saves his breath weapon for any clusters of foes.
"Yes, let us. I shall continue to take point." Ranif will then proceed to advance into the next room.
Steeping forward the few final feet to get out of the storage shelves, Ranif then turns his gaze, and blade, against the remaining Drow trooper. With a deep growl coming from within his massive chest, he grips the Dragonglaive about a foot below the crackling head, before brining it down in a savage chop.
Bolstered by the captain's words, Ranif barely notices the wave of electricity that courses over his body. However, he does notice that Kragga is not as lucky as he was. Continuing his forward advance, Ranif continues to move as quickly as is physically possible down the hallway. Shoving his way past the storage shelves along the walls, he focuses on the drow at the end of the corridor who just threw the grenade. Locking eyes with the dark elf, he will use his suit to broadcast in his general direction. "Your tactics reveal you to be what you truly are, darklings. All you are is scum, rakefires from the bottom of the barrel of the galaxy who have long outlived your welcome." As he finishes this statement, he has just moved up to be directly adjacent to the grenadier
Wincing at the flames in his suit, Ranif holds his breath as he opens a small vent in his suit, temporarily venting the oxygen and smothering the flames. He will then walk forward, shoving his way past the shelving units.
Ranif will rush into the hallway, moving to close with their opponents.
Ranif will silently nod to Ziyad, readying himself to turn the corner and advance on their enemies ass soon as the grenade detonates. However, he will gesture for her to at least wait for Lucille to return to the group.
Still keeping an eye out for traps in the vicinity of their path through the room, Ranif says to the group behind him "Stay a short distance behind me. If there are any more traps, we don't want everyone to be hit by them. Cranston, is that door over that pressurized on the other side?" Ranif will then walk out into the room.
Rani will take the lead, Dragonglaive out and ready.
Gesturing at the opening, careful not to touch the cabinet, Ranif calls out to the rest of the crew. "I know that I won't be able to fit down there. Do we wish to send Lucille through to check it out?"
Heaving himself up from the floor, Ranif once again hefts his Dragonglaive in both hands. "I had probably better take the lead again. I don't want anything to happen to any of you." Better for me to be injured than any of them. "Let us also remember that there are likely to still be traps around." That said, he will look down the hallway for any more traps like the one that had hit them earlier.
Sitting down heavily on the flooe, Ranif powers off his weapon. Wearily activating his comm unit, he says "So, Captain, about that breather you mentioned? It would be greatly appreciated."
Seeing his initial attack miss, Ranif attacks more carefully this time. Swinging the Dragongaive in an arc from the right, he attempts to to attack while it is distracted by others.
Ranif will move to protect the others, shifting so that he can protect as many people at the same time as possible. He then prepares himself to attack the Elemental if it reappears.
Feeling a rib crack from the creatures blow, Ranif stumbles back slightly. However, bolstered by the captain's words, he goes back on the offensive as he steps forwards and thrusts straight ahead with his Dragongliave, swinging his weapon in a large arc in an attempt to impact on one of the creatures legs.
Ranif swings out with his Dragonglaive, attacking twice in quick succession. The first swing is an overhead strike, before swinging the massive weapon in a short horizontal arc along the middle of the creature. He is mostly hoping to distract the creature, not wanting it to attack the less armored and squishier party members.
Ranif tuns to face this new opponent, drawing his Dragonglaive. He then points the long weapon at the creature, letting out a small growl as he does so.
Ranif will approach the east door, temporarily stowing his Dragonglaive on his back. Once he reaches the door, he first moves the body the Android against the wall. He then sets both his feet firmly on the ground and grip one side of the door with both hands. Glancing at everyone to make sure that they are all ready for him to attempt to open the door, he will heave with all his strength at the door.
Ranif will activate the small flashlight in his helmet, mainly as it will benefit the others that much more.
Grimacing against the pain, Ranif will slowly walk forwards, Dragonglaive at the ready. He is attempting to pay attention to his surroundings, looking for any more anti-personnel traps.
However, the damage from the shock grid is distracting him, having left a faint ringing in his ears.
Ranif stands ready to move to the front of the party, Dragonglaive held firmly in both hands.
Entering the asteroid base, Ranif looks around at structure they are entering.
The entry mechanism catches his eye, and he points it out to the party.
Carefully aiming at the front arc of the enemy ship, Ranif fires the final remaining missile in a tight arc that will hopefully give the enemy little time to react to the threat.
Ranif quickly launches the next missile, having fallen back into silence due to his previous miss.
Seeing the missile sail past, he lets out a faint growl of frustration. "Down to one missile."
Once more targeting the enemy ship, Ranif fires off a third missile.
Quickly re-aiming the Missile Launcher on the enemy ship, telling the missile to jet around and target the enemy's forward arc. As usual, he requests assistance from Clive.
Swiftly switching to using the forward mounted missile weapon, Ranif maintains his silence as he takes aim and fires.
Seeing the missile strike home, Ranif shouts out "YES!"
Grateful for the assistance from Kragga, Ranif will aim at the enemy spaceship, again asking Clive for aid.
Seeing the shot miss, he will grow very silent.
Focusing on the console in front of him, Ranif has no time to respond to Kragga as he swivels the turret to face in the aft direction. Again requesting that CLive assist him with hi shot, he will focus the Light particle Beam on the approaching enemy ship, forced into targeting their forward shields due to the angle of approach.
"Yes, Sir!" Turning back towards the console, Ranif takes careful aim at port side of the enemy ship. Bringing the turret to bear, he will politely ask Clive to assist on his shot.
"Damn. Sorry, captain."
