Ryu Shuto's page

This place is fascinating. A marvel. Dangerous and creepy, but fascinating."

Ryu also looks over the toys to insure that they are safe and suitable to bring back to the Lorespire Complex.

Culture: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Ryu goes into the room (possibly taking an AoO in the process) and fires at the soldier.

Ghibrani Huchket Rifle: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 7

With Zapp tanking, Ryu tosses a grenade at the toys.

Frag Grenade DC 14: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Ryu takes a shot at red then moves behind Zapp.

Ghibrani Huchket Rifle: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 Damage: 2d10 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

"No. Nothing like me or anyone here for that matter."

"Yeah. That painting must have come from here, though. There is some freaky stuff going on here. Let's take them all."

Ryu smiles at Kippi. "It's actually my job. I'm a history-finder. Starfinding is just my hobby."

Would Profession: archaeologist do to collect the books?

Profession (archaeologis): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

"Yeah. What sort of entity are you?" He looks to Dara to verify whatever the 'bird' says.

Ryu doesn't know what's going on. He stands ready to defend Darakwinn. "You sure that's the right thing to do?"

Ryu switches his longarm for his pistol and silver bullets. "You think ghosts are what scared the captain that sold the painting to Julzakama?"

"Take caution. I don't think we're the only ones here." Rye keeps moving in.

Ryu moves forward ready to take on whatever the house and the drift throws at them.

Ryu is still rubbing his chest where the creature latched on to him. "I'd say more hellish than warm and comforting."

"Well let's take them and see what else there is."

As the parasite sloughs off of him, "Praise Desna and you too, Kippi.". Ryu steps away from the horrid creature.

I should have moved. Retreated. This hurts.

Silver Small Arm Rounds x18
Silver Curvelbade

Ryu is relieved that Kippi finished off the one right on top of him. With a practiced calm, he takes aim at the remaining one and fires twice.

Ghibrani Huchket Rifle: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 4 = 18 Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 2

Ghibrani Huchket Rifle: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 4 = 18 Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 8

"Hey! Are these things what all that silver was for?" He takes another shot at the one he hit before.

Ghibrani Huchket Rifle: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 3

Ryu scurries forward as he readies his rifle. He fires at the closest parasite.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Ghibrani Huchket Rifle: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 8

Ryu points the opposite direction that he ran.

"We know of the danger, but we are going anyway. What more can you tell us?"

Silver Small Arm Rounds x18

Ryu leaves the decision whether to free the ghost up to those more mystically inclined. When Darakwinn goes to remove the scepter, he stands ready in case there's trouble.

"Take caution. This might be why there's no house attached. It could be a mystic prison of some sort. Such things will be warded or guarded or both."

"Who are you yelling at?" Ryu turns a circle with gun in hand, trying to find the voice he can't hear.

What are the spheres?

Ryu looks over the gear with the others. "You think they're trying to tell us something?" He takes some silver ammo for his own auto-pisol (18 rounds) and the silver curveblade, just in case.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Engineering: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Ryu looks over the stonework. "This is old. Ancient even. And in magnificent condition for its age." He speaks reverently about the architecture as he continues to inspect it.

Ryu tries to point out the orbs to Kippi. "Those! What are those?"

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 18

"I'll try to bring one or two back. Kippi, can you help? The rest of you keep watch for any trouble."

Athletics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Ryu shrugs as the others present a different path and casually goes along with the group. He uses his starknife to stab at some foliage and declines the use of the pistol. He prefers his rifle.
"Maybe we should try to find where they came from. Their owner could still be alive." He is doubtful, but hopeful.

"Let's try going this way."
Survival: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13

Ryu activates the environmental seals of his armor.

He tries to help with examining the earth.
Aid Survival: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10

"I'll take the lead." Ryu readies his rifle.

Ryu only saddles up behind the enemy craft while evading return fire.

Evade Piloting: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 = 28

OK.

Ryu Evades as he tries to keep the ship in an advantageous position.

Piloting: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 = 12

Did I miss a turn of movement?

Initiative Piloting: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13

GM, to help keep the fight flowing, I'd like to start rolling initiative at the beginning of each round rather than during the helm phase.

Initiative: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 13

Initiative Piloting: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 1 = 17
Jarix flies around the asteroid hoping to catch the aft of the enemy craft.
End in the same square that they start in

Evade
Piloting: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9

"Somebody get me some information on that ship?" Ryu works to put an asteroid between the two ships.
I assume we are the green ship

Evasion Piloting: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9

"Long way around. Got it." Ryu does a full circuit of the planar matter to give the sensors the best chance to figure out what was what and to find a good place to land.

Since this isn't supposed to be a combat mission, I suggest the Pegasus (the Drake is more popular).
Ryu can pilot +7 or engineer +7, but is probably best as gunner +5

"Take care, sir." Ryu warns. "The pawnbroker hinted that it might be cursed or have some other negative effect placed upon it. He said that Winks, the salvager that sold it to him, claimed that it was taken from a 'spooky house in a swamp'. He also said that Winks was only too eager to part with it."

"I agree. Let VC Arvin see what he bought and allow the wooj masters of the society to go over the thing. Winks probably blasted off not long after pawning the thing anyway."

Ryu happily takes the cue and leaves.

Ryu tries to recall something about the painting, but nothing comes to mind.
Culture: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

He takes the offer of a drink. When Julzakama puts his hand out for payment, Ruy just looks at him in the eye as he takes a long drink. "So the captain of a salvage barge just sold you this valuable piece of artwork for little to nothing and you offered it to us for a 'small' profit? What aren't you telling us?"
Intimidate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Ryu has met Julzakama.

"You seem to have a way with folk, Julzakama. As mentioned before, we're here for that painting. I believe it's already paid for."

Intimidate aid: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

"Will do, sir." Ryu eagerly agrees to the mission. "You said it was found in the drift at some sort of extraplanar disturbance. What more do we know?"

Dot

I agree. The space shark is basically the same. No matter the damage type, the storm is the same. The Exile's tactics are the same. It is in the first contact that this scenario shines. I've played or gm'd this scenario 10 times and it has been different each time due to the interpretation of the alien abilities and culture. Plus it runs so fast that you have time to spend in the alien village for a bit.

To Froese, "I thought you knew how to use that weapon."

Ryu takes a full attack against the Exile.

Ghibrani Huchket Rifle: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 4 = 20 Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Ghibrani Huchket Rifle: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 4 = 2 Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 3
