Selene Scintilla's page

Selene just nods as she takes the hooka, sniffs the vapours then takes a hit through her nose before handing it back.

Wheeeoooo. that stuff is strong. But yeah, I'd like to look into your recipe. But I gotta be careful I stay grounded in this reality and also to not damage my lungs. My sis has gill implants and she likes watching her vid shows on her underwater big screen. I like to watch with her but ... yeah .. it's a bit awkward.

She then hears the Space admiral.
Oh ghods ... he's at it again

Yeah - thanks

If you have nightmares Blinky - well ... my door is always open

At the party, I'm just glad it's over Selene says, leaning against Gil's couch.

Selene sighs annoyingly while listening to J'Shun.

He makes it sound he did it all by himself. I am SO going to put the record straight in my report - as soon as I figure out how to explain all those shifting realities

She checks to see if there is enough tea in her thermos for her and Blinky.

Team A responding. Zahenni is down .... I think

dream interpreter: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

I could SO use another cup of tea right now

OK ... I'll missile YOU then

Selene flies, twists in mod-air and blasts the bluish undead with a Force Blast

damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7 DC 18 ref for half.

Selene gets hit by her own missiles How embarrassing

She then casts Puncture Veil as a full round action on the witchwyrd

piercing: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7 plus bleeding 2 for 3 rounds.

Darn it. I forgot they could do that

Selene magic missiles Zahenni
mm: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2, 2) + 3 = 8

will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

And there goes all her stamina.

She spends a resolve point to flash teleport thirty feet away.

fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Selene remembers being chased and nearly caught by a jinsel patrol

She then double moves straight up to be able to see over the 60ft platform.

All these time shifts had made Selene a bit queasy in the tummy. She was also a bit envious of Gil-Oloth's control over time and reality compared to her own, and resolved to learn how she did it.

She knew she had to think smart as well. So she cast another Flight on herself. Moving in three dimensions added more possibilities.

mysticism: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

Selene uses her skill as a Mystic Officer to predict the movements of the glaciers in order to help guide the pilot.

mysticism: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26

All these reality shifts are starting to rattle her.

culture: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Are we ... unstuck ... in time?

Come on ... we're Starfinders ... we can DO this

diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

Selene is pondering on the word 'Infinitrium' while following the others. She then tries to sift through the many alternate realities looking for one where the emergency shutdown can be initiated before seeing what she initially thinks is a flashback to a battle on the Scoured Stars, but it turns out to be yet another alternate reality although it seems so real.

She tries to suppress her fear and help out best she can. At least she can't see her parent's bodies - yet.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Oh wow. It's like reality shifted to an alternate version where everything worked out for us. I wonder how THAT happened?

She follows Gil, hoping she has an explanation, and that it is understandable.

Surely I can do more damage than that Selene says to Gil That was pitiful.

She then casts Magic Missiles at the elf.
mm: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) + 3 = 11

Selene attempts to deny Evethriel's current reality and substitute her own - a reality where the planet is a giant iceball.
cold: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 Fort save for half.

AH! Where did those jinsul come from?

will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

No - wait - I can handle this ...

I would have liked to have known about your beef with the Starfinders but ... I guess the time for talking is done

She actually looks regretful as she fires magic missiles at the elf.
mm: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 1) + 3 = 7

Selene attempts accessing nearby alternate realities in order to disable the time wall.

And for some reason she is tasting Blinky's tea again.

mysticism: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

Selene floats back down to the ground and offers Blinky a cup of Castrovalian tea out of her own thermos flask.

You did say you wanted a cuppa and I don't blame you

Wow! I didn't think it was going to be THAT effective
ref: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

She then fires force bolts at Green, hoping to free up Blinky
mm: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1, 1) + 3 = 9

Selene is up in the air near Gil, behind the laser cannon. She's force blasting the engine itself

We're gonna need that since we're going up against a pre-cog Selene grumbles, while trying to force the laser to aim at the engine. She also searches through alternate realities to find one where she is more competent at engineering - even if she has to steal her sister's skill set - but has little luck - apparently witchwarping doesn't work like that.

So she fires a Force Blast at the engine and any sentinels next to it in sheer frustration.

force: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5 (Ref save for half)

30ft cone and possible knockback

Selene suddenly feels reality shift and she's not hurting any more.

Thanks Gil. I'm not exactly sure what you did, but I sure appreciate it.

OW OW OW ... Selene exclaims followed by a lot of cuss words in a mixture of Castrovelian and Jinsul. That HURT ... I FEEL that PAIN

Gil .. if we can unlock it's gearing we may be able to point the laser where we want it, irregardless of it's targeting sensor.

She flies around to a position behind the laser and tries to unlock it so it can swing free.
engineering: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

This is more Kat's thing than mine

Gil ... you need assistance? Selene calls out. Hey! Maybe we can get the laser to shoot the engine

She casts Fly on herself and takes off into the air to get up to the laser.

Selene is still trying to figure out where the gravity wave came from.

Eugh! Something just warped reality Selene exclaimed

She took another shot at the laser
eh: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 1 = 15 electricity: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Heh. That's what I was about to say Blinky.

She moves up, just past the entrance ...
fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

... takes aim with her explorer handcoil at the laser gun ...
eh: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

... and fires.
electricity: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

She also gets the feeling something bad is about to happen.

Selene helps J'Shun by also sowing confusion amongst the enemy before helping Blinky with the barricades.
bluff: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
athletics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

She is still figuring out what 'on the bounce' means as well.

On the bounce sir? But I guess we move when you do.

Errr .. Blinky ... you look different .. and I'm sure this is the right reality - but you look younger and that scar through your eye - it's gone.

She peers into different, nearby realities looking for clues.

I'm actually from Castrovel myself .... well I was born there so I suppose that counts. I still own the beach house there where I grew up.

And I got to be careful what I use ... as a Witchwarper as well, I have to ensure I stay grounded in this reality otherwise things get very confusing.

will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Nope. Not Castrovellian leaf tea leaves

Someone once described Time as being all wibbly wobbly - and what sort of mushrooms are you recommending? Selene asks as she hands over the crystal.

And I'm still curious about what's in your hookah. I usually use lavender candles and meditation to do my dream walking.

Time warps can do that. It sort of upsets your sense of causality

That .... could indeed be useful. Thank you

She prepares to hand the crystal off to whoever needs it most.

As for the computer, she leaves it to the experts. Unlike her sister, she is not a computer nerd.

Wow .. that was IMPRESSIVE K'ssatak. Sometimes I miss not being a Solarian

So she uses her Infinite Worlds ability to also inflict plasma fire on the offending creature.
fire: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3 Fort save for half.

Ever heard of an anime character called Megumin? EXPLOSION!

reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Feeling rather irritated at being stepped on, she launches three magic missiles at the offending creature

mm: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 2) + 3 = 11

Or tremor sense or some sort of heat sense or ... well ... nature comes up with some really clever stuff.

Selene moves up towards Blue and warps reality around it.

Blue is suddenly surrounded by thorn bushes that it was sure wasn't there before. Infinite Worlds 2nd level
piercing: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6 Fort save for half.

Agreed. Anyone got a drone?

Selene has a look a Brewers leaves and takes a sniff. I know that leaf. she exclaims. That's my favourite. Although you should try some of Blinky's Akitonian tea. I think it's eucalyptus and it's quite nice.

She also makes friends with Salana, being used to techy types - after all, her sister is one. Besides, that series looks interesting. Plus she likes squoxes too so she bonds with Rakudor over squoxes.

Once on Kax, she sticks close to Blinky. Yeech ... and I thought the Jinsul planets were bad

She then looks over to Gil-Oloth. I'm sorry, but I have to ask. What's IN that hookah? And are you grounded in this reality?

Ah .... excuse me .... he's a Kasathan, not a Vesk .... although ... hmmmm.

He certainly acts like one

Ah .... it's surrounded by dark nebulosity .... ok. I think I got it sir. So, is Datch safe? Or have they still got her?

She looks over at Gil-Oloth again. She looks to be in a perpetual dream state ... I think her and I need to have a long talk on the way out - one Dreamer to another

Selene hadn't been on any of the previous missions but she had been helping Rani deal with her nightmares about Kortus IV. She is also enjoying a cup of Blinky's eucalyptus tea as she listens. Plus she had familiarised herself with all the reports from the previous missions.

Psychic huh? It'll be interesting on how they deal with changing realities

She looks over to Gil-Oloth with interest.

I take it no one attempted a stellar survey at the location of the planet sir? she asks.

Selene winces as the Space Admiral speaks up.

Please don't shout - you're going to give me a headache. And I should warn you that my younger sister is on the Starfinder Forum. But yes, I'm hoping to dreamwalk into Zhaneni's dreams.

Midshipman? Since when?

Please Selene replies. I just got out of an enhanced Witchwarper training course and, at the moment, I feel like I've been through a mnemonic editor, in reverse.

She jerks a thumb at the Kasathan. So, this guy really a Space Admiral?Or is he living in his dream?

Following along behind her is a human woman with shoulder length dark hair, a rather serious expression, and looking like a goth girl. She's wearing a formfitting D-Suit III suit and sort of looks like she's been through the wringer and still recovering. She carries her Starfinder backpack by one strap and poking out of the top of it is the head of a dark blue pony plushie.

Thanks very much ... fills in a hole in Selene's career.
