She has the same trouble as Quig, all the boons will eventually end up in the mouths of goblins and be ruined :)

Thanks again everyone for the awesome game! I had such a blast with all of these characters, y'all are so much fun. Wow, that's my first ever gameday boon, thanks Hmm. Do I have to do something special to claim it?
<incoming transmission from Absolom Station for Lt Danese of the Skyfire Legion... Decrypting...> Pookie bear, You won’t believe what I've been doing! The Starfinder Society hired us to explore an utterly bizarre artificial moon and investigate the disappearance of a few starships near it. I know, right... Totally crazy! But it turns out that they aren't half as stuffy as we thought they were, we even had a party before we left. I wish you had been there though, I may not have gotten quite so drunk... I think I actually called Luwazi Elsebo ‘Totes Amazeballs’ and then booped her nose. I’m not sure how much I can say about the actual job over this channel, but I can say that it looks like Quig... You remember Quig right? What am I saying, of course you remember him! Well anyway, Quig may have found his soul mate. He met her in a prison labour camp (Darn! I just remembered, I owe Obo 15 credits) and was immediately smitten. It’s just so cute, I really hope she likes him back. Other than that, all I can say is that everyone did amazing. I'm counting the days until we can all meet up again, and especially to our week alone together on Castrovel. I miss your furry little face so much! Eternally yours,
P. S. I may have adopted two goblins. <End of message>
Just letting y'all know that my period of limited internet has officially begun. I don't really think it'll be an issue in this game, but I thought I'd say, just in case ;)
Raia nods in agreement with the others "Yes, she is good and kind... You should listen to some of the audio logs we found, and you'll see what Obo means about Livewire falling into a bad crew. I don't believe that she belongs in the Sauna... Borgor, on the other hand, very much deserves to go there! It's just such a shame about his brother." She says, not totally convinced that Obo's solution will work. "Oh, yes... About the Cafeteria... I'm really sorry about that, and I will, of course, pay for the damage! The little ones are still adjusting, you see, and when they found some food in the bins around back, they got overexcited and tried to cook it right there and then. Why, they had no idea that building campfires on Cafeteria tables was frowned upon around here!" Raia, glances at the goblins with their mouths full, and gives Quig a suspicious look "As for the grenades... I have no idea where they picked up that little habit."
This is/was my first and only game so far, so no welcome boon for me yet :)
"Goblins!" Raia says enthusiastically as she tells the tale of their adventure on Salvation's End to Luwazi "Goblins everywhere! And a tractor beam, but it wasn't the goblins who were the problem... It was an Ettin." She pauses for dramatic effect "Borgor, had enslaved the mind of his other head, Bago, and took over as the Old-New Chief of the goblin tribe and made them sacrifice the rest of his crew to the Glowing Green God. Only the God wasn't a god, but a computer!" Taking a deep breath, she continues talking about how there are more goblins on the other side of the moon, that Bago is a sweetie, but Borgor is a psychopath and that they should take Livewire's place in the Sauna. After a few more minutes of non-stop talking, Raia finally gets to the end of her story "Honestly, Salvation's End is quite an extraordinary place! You could send teams there for years and still have new places to explore, oh and don't get me started about the data..." She fishes out her datapad and passes it to Luwazi "There was a super advanced computer full of all these schematics, blueprints, and stuff! I think some of your tech guys are going to love these." She stands there silent and beaming for a few moments so that Luwazi Elsebo can inspect the data. Something nudges Raia from behind, making her jump "Oh, and I'd like to introduce you to our two eager new crew members..." Raia steps aside to reveal two goblins "Red here, in particular, has expressed a keen interest in joining the Society."
Marty, do you want to take this as a hanging chronicle to apply at Level 3, or reduce the cash to 720 credits to apply at Level 1? Hmm, good question... I think I'll go with the hanging chronicle because I usually need all the free rebuilds I can get to fine tune a character :) Thanks!
Player: Marty
This Chronicle #: 1
Raia smiles at Quig "Maybe we should call that plan B..." She turns around and studies the computer for a moment This one looks much more advanced, time to pull out my best tricks! Tapping away at the console, she thanks Altronus for catching the occasional typo, saving her precious time as the countermeasures start fighting back "Wow, this thing is so awesome! Look, it's closing doors as quickly as I'm finding them... When we get back to the glory, I'm updating the computers to be like this!" Thankful for all the extra computing power provided by Quig and the mainframe, Raia begins firing up multiple pieces of code to overload the countermeasures and give her time to hack in peace.
"Oh my gods, what is that!?" Raia exclaims on noticing the source of the noises. With curiosity getting the better of her, she approaches the hatch "Is this where the sacrifices happened? But why have these cords... some kind of biological battery perhaps? Or maybe there's a giant worm under there... Oh, are we in a giant incubator?" She wonders out loud, rattling out theories to no one in particular. Despite desperately wanting to open the hatch to see for certain, a little bit of her is afraid to find out and the console screen provides a decent distraction "Quig, dear, I think even my theories are a little less far fetched..." Staring closely at the glowing monitor as schematics scroll by, she asks "What do you think these are for?"
I'm so sorry to hear that, Hmm. All my thoughts and best wishes are with you and yours. I know digital hugs aren't the same thing, but I offer them all the same, hugs, lots of hugs.
Raia turns around to see Quig hugging the two goblins, and she smiles Oh, I'm so glad they're getting along! I can't wait to see them worki- Wait... What's that in their mouths?
Raia picks herself up from the catwalk floor and smiles at the goblins "Now remember little ones, we did that so easily because we work together as a team." She taps her datapad a few times to make sure the lights are on throughout the complex "You need to learn that if you're going to come with us." She turns around to find Quig and calls down to him "What would you say to having a couple of apprentices in engineering, Quig? I'm sure you'll have such fun together, singing songs and taking stuff apart!" Tucking the datapad away, Raia climbs down from the catwalk and gives Iseph a quick squeeze You're such a sweetie! on her way to meet Bago "That's such a nice thing to say Bago! I can see why Livewire likes you so much... Umm, I'm sorry, but I have to ask... Apart from Livewire, is your whole crew... Are they gone?"
We're a well oiled machine :)
Raia recognises the voices from the audio logs "Bago!?" She exclaims, shocked that the twins share a body. Diving onto the catwalk floor as the pistol fires, she shares all she knows with her crew mates Be careful! If you hurt Borgor too badly, you hurt Bago too... She hurriedly scrolls through options on her datapad It looks like that no-good brother of his has drugged him, someone needs to shake Bago out of it!
"Hypocrite! If you were here first, where'd the goblins come from, you big troll!" Raia yells back at the giant.
Extra question (Thanks to Xenoseeker): I guess the obvious question is, does each head have it's own personality and what can be done to make one more dominant than the other?
Raia smiles Almighty? Oh, Quig, you do know how to make a girl blush... I don't know about the boots though. She thinks for a moment, trying to remember what the saleswoman had said about the features of her tempweave We could always just hold on tightly to the catwalk?
Exiting the elevator, Raia sniffs the air and can't help wondering what, or who, was recently overcooked Is anyone else as curious to find out who's behind that crate as I am? She thinks to her crew mates as she fiddles with her datapad yet again. A big red button appears on the tiny display and she starts hovering a finger over it What would you guys say to a little zero-G fun?
Raia smiles and jokes "Didn't you know? Once you control the lifts, you can ascend any time you want! Why, I have the power of ascension in the palm of my hand..." She holds up her datapad and waves it around theatrically.
Raia starts laughing "Well my way was more fun anyway." Looking towards the doors she agrees "Yes, whatever Borgor is doing down there, it can't be good..." She looks down at the goblins and smiles warmly "Thank you. You two have been such a big help, I'm so proud of you!" After giving them a big hug, she follows Iseph across the catwalk.
No worries! You must get crazy busy during Gamedays and specials.
"Aha! Got it..." Raia, still fiddling with her datapad, turns around to face her crew mates and the awe-struck goblins "The Glowing Green God and I are now the best of friends!" She announces with a huge smile "We can do all sorts of fun things together." With a final few taps on her datapad, her voice crackles out of the speakers "Fun things!" Clipping it back safely to her belt, she continues "It also told me exactly where that signal is coming from, and it's somewhere beneath us. Now if we can just figure out how to get dow-" She suddenly notices Iseph messing around with a key card of some sort "Oh, what's that?!"
Raia excitedly heads over to the monitor "Don't worry little ones, I'll talk to it now." She frowns when she sees the symbols "That's odd..." She looks at the arms of the two goblins "How did you get those marks on your arms? Who's the oldest, and who's the tallest?" The cogs start whirring in her head as she considers how to brake the code Maybe the password is in age order... Maybe I should just try uploading new firmware, or design a new algorithm for recursively searching the net- Oh, I'll just brute force it!
Excellent, no worries then! I was just afraid I was going to disappear in the middle of a dramatic ending :)
I'm sorry, but it looks like I will have limited Internet access from the 9th to the 13th. I will try to post at least once a day, but unfortunately I cannot make any guarantees.
Raia squees with excitement, transfixed by the beautiful sight of the green monitor The glowing green god is a computer! "Oh my!" Raia exclaims as Quig kicks the lump "The wire shaman..." She instinctively tries to cover the goblins' eyes "So that's why she was taking so long... Poor thing mustn't have known what she was doing." Looking back and forth between the wires and the screen, she replies to Quigs question with one of her own "Would you be able to fix it without hurting yourself? Because, I don't know about you, dear, but I'm mighty curious to see what the glowing green god has to say..." Worried about how the goblins might react, she softly says "Don't worry, we're just going to find out what's wrong with the glowing green god so that we can make it all better."
Raia, oblivious to Obo and Iseph's conversation, is deep in thought, wondering what the legal process for adopting stray goblins might be when she hears Keskodai I hope so too! I'm sure all they need is a strong parental figure in their life... She kneels down in front of the two goblins and smiles "Ok, I need you two to stay here for a bit while we go and speak to Gutproud. Can you do that for me?"
Raia puts a reassuring arm around each of the goblins "Oh, you poor dears! Don't worry, I won't let the mean man hurt you." She looks to the rest of her crew with concern etched on her face "I don't like the sound of someone like Borgor being in charge of these little guys. I think we'll have to pay him a visit..." Noting Obo's looking towards the catwalk, she adds "After checking in on the shaman upstairs, of course."
Raia raises her eyebrows and smiles "Oh, wow! It's almost unbelievable, but it's right there in the recording for everyone to hear..." She shakes her head in disbelief as she listens to some of the other logs, totally oblivious to the reaction of the goblins. "I mean, it's just so surreal." When all the logs have been heard, she doesn't feel so bad for the crew anymore "Were they all just going to kill each other anyway?" Noticing the exchange between Quig and the goblins, Raia wonders "What's going on?"
Sorry for spamming the gameplay thread today folks, 'twas a slow day here ;)
Boys! Raia thinks firmly "Don't fight... Remember what I said about behaving? Give the tools to that man over there." She points at Quig "They belong to him." She spares a glance at Iseph Oh, no! That means... Poor Bago... "I know I said I was all for checking in on the shaman, but who wants to listen to the ship's audio logs first?"
"Oh, I agree!" Raia says as she supervises the two helpful goblins "Will you two be able to take it from here while we pay Gutproud a little visit?"
Coordinated Shot - When Obozaya is threatening a foe with a melee weapon, any ally with line of sight to that foe without Obozaya granting the foe cover gains a +1 bonus to ranged attack rolls against the foe. That's quite a nice ability to have. I forgot about all the great stuff these characters can do :)
GM Hmm:
I don't know, it just says 'You can read the surface thoughts of any mind in the area' plus they get a will save DC 12 to stop it. "Here, you can borrow mine." Raia unhitches her tool belt and passes it to one on the goblns "But be careful with them."
Raia is shocked to hear of the sacrifices, but the fact that one got away gives her hope for Livewire's friend at least. Listening to the goblins bawl, she can't help but see the goblins as poor misguided children. Looking at them sternly she says "Okay, first of all, no more sacrifices!" She starts wagging her finger at them "No more 'helping' ships crash either! From now on you are going to be good, you understand?" She sees Quig messing around in the debris and has an idea. Kneeling down in front of the two goblins she points towards the cockpit of the Archer "We want something from that ship over there, a toolbox. If you go and get it for us, and you behave yourselves while we visit this wire shaman, I'll give you a treat." She stands up again, brushing the dust off her knees "But no funny business..." She pointedly looks at each of them as she projects her thoughts Because I know what you're thinking!
Raia approaches the goblins, nodding as Altronus asks his questions "Yes, I must say, I'm very curious about this Glowing Green God and why you are here... But, if you really want to help us, we absolutely must know how many of your friends are hiding within the complex, and where the people who owned this ship are." She smiles, looking into their beady little eyes "Could you lead us to them? Prove to us that you are the great goblins you say you are."
Raia starts giggling when the goblins freak out because of her virus and starts running to the other side of the bulkhead. Poking her head out of the side, she taps a button on her chest and extends a hand towards the battle as two beams of energy shoot from her fingers. With unerring accuracy, each beam weaves its way through the melee to strike the chest of a different goblin.
It does have a certain charm :)
Raia starts pressing buttons on her wrist mounted wireless transmitter, a mischievous smile on her face Oh, I can't wait to see if this works! Peeking out from the bulk head, she picks her targets and begins uploading the virus she had spent weeks perfecting.
Amplified Glitch: As a standard action, you can wirelessly introduce a fast-acting virus into nearby technological devices to briefly cause them to malfunction in loud, surprising ways. You can use this ability on one target creature per character level, no two of which can be more than 30 feet apart. Each target must either be carrying technological devices or be within sight and hearing of such devices. While the locations of such devices are up to the GM, most public spaces (aside from technologically underdeveloped areas) contain enough technology for this feat to function. Your glitch causes alarms to go off, automated devices to spin and flail, readouts to flash brightly, and so on. With a successful Computers check (DC = 15 + 1 per target + 1-1/2 × the CR of the highest-CR target), all targets are shaken for 1 round, plus 1 additional round for every 5 by which your result exceeds the DC.
Once you have targeted a creature with this feat, that foe is immune to this ability for 24 hours.
Sorry, but I'm not sure how best to mark the disco... I mean, dancing lights on the map. I'm hoping to light up as many goblins as possible.
The draft created by Obzaya's enthusiastic charge hits Raia before she even realises that the goblins had spotted them. Not sure where anybody is, she quickly raises the palm of her hand in the general direction of the singing and concentrates. Red, green, blue, and yellow orbs of light suddenly blink into existence at the centre of the hanger and start swiftly rotating around each other. "There's so many of them!" She exclaims as she dives for the nearest cover, pistol at the ready "Copy that, Obo! I'll head for the right flank."
I wish I could, but it only works if you're close by. Just stay out of trouble, you hear? If I have to pull you out of trouble, I'll have to tell everyone how you were bested by tiny singing goblins... Raia teases Iseph, but her tone of thought shows that she is clearly worried that her friend plans to go off alone Just think what that would do for your tough-guy image!
Congrats Eric! Altronus and Raia: You have just brought more goblin filk unto yourselves. Be warned! Bring it on :) ? We have poked the bear, and we will have to accept the consequences. From now on, Goblins only talk in song (a filk is the type song they have been singing) ;)
In the darkness, all that Raia knows is that the goblins are still singing However despicable goblins are, the one thing you can say about them is that they always seem happy... I bet if they focused on their singing rather than kidnap and murder, they would take the pact worlds by storm! She thinks to her crewmates as she draws her sonic pistol. Unwilling to give their position away just yet, and being one of the only people incapable of seeing in even dim light, she holds off casting dancing lights for now. Instead, she places a hand on Altronus' shoulder If the cosmos doesn't mind sharing, I'm with you too.
"Hmm, a go on the big guns does sound like fun... Quig, if you want to try, I'll make sure you're shots count." She winks at Quig before jumping back into her chair and swivelling into position "Targeting engines now! Let's see if we can slow them down a little, make it less likely for art to fly."
Target (Engines):
Raia cheers as one of the dots on her screen blinks out "Ha! Who's squashing snot now!?" Hearing Quig's distress, she swivels her chair around and tries to calm him down "Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry about your sculpture, but I don't think we have any gun-holes..." However, on seeing what she thinks is a twinkle in Quigs's eye, Raia goes wide-eyed herself and jumps up "Oh, gods! I know that look. Please don't make any holes of your own!"
