Sittnym's page

Sittnym leans on the chair back of Seven's chair increasingly engrossed in spotting for him. She mutters "Aww, man!" As he misses whilst distracted.

Hopefully not too late with the aid roll
Sittnym is standing behind Seven "Oh, there they are Seven. Shoot!"
Aid Seven: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Sittnym will assist Seven on the guns, she's a lover not a fighter. She'll happily stand over Seven's shoulder trying to make helpful remarks, like a young child watching an older sibling playing video games.

Apologies, yes. It was an in-game request. PbP newbie here...

"I'm sorry Seven, the idea of counting their weapons didn't even cross my mind. Lemgem was so intent on showing me how to boost the engine I couldn't even tell you whether there were guns..."

Someone help the Android please? I don't have Engineering...

Round 4 action
Feeling that her empathic and diplomatic skills have little more to offer Sittnym turns her naive eyes to Laboni's racer
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 Use of Empathy class feature to better understand Lemgem
Bluff: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 [ooc]Additional +2 if the previous roll beats DC 20

"Wouldn't it be something special to win today Lemgem? Especially when all eyes are on Ratrod and the Starfinder who challenged him. How strong do you think your chances are? Does the extra boost improve those chances?"

Whatever happens with Lemgem, Sittnym next turns her attention to the Android Velocity.

Round 3 - investigate Velocity

She attempts to be discrete as she investigates Velocity, standing with any observers (or crew members) and engaging them in light conversation. She'll be expressing interested ignorance in the race and its participants as she focuses her antennae on Velocity and reaches out to read their mood Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 Use of Empathy class feature on Nyizin
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 Additional +2 if the above check beat DC 20

I'm only really useful for the investigation or socialisation tasks, so I'll sit on round 4 for a bit and see if there's anywhere I can shore up.

Is it possible to use my Empathy class feature ahead of these rolls? I get to make a DC 20 (or 10 + target's bluff, whichever is higher) Sense Motive check to "gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive checks against that creature for 1 hour".

Sittnym is aware that she's not very intimidating and extremely wary of offending the Ysoki when their mission could be put at risk, so she'll concede defeat and not press Ratrod.

Does she happen to know whether Lemgem's racer is remote piloted? Sittnym won't encourage her to overclock it if there's a risk to someone piloting/riding the vehicle.

Sittnym will use her Empath powers to try and gain insights into the competition -- any concerns/anxieties they may have, any trick cards they intend to play, etc.

Round 1 action - Investigating the competition - Ratrod
She begins by observing Ratrod, she's suspicious of the race's organiser also being a participant. To her mind that power seems ripe for abuse and so she watches him for a while as he goes about his preparations.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Round 2 action - Investigating the competition - Lemgem
Next she moves closer to the Gnome Lemgem and observing them in their preparations, she doesn't know much about Gnomes but what she does know (that they are tinkerers) makes her think this one will have an edge.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Once the party have left the Acquisitives HQ Sittnym

"It's hard to disagree with the notion that we can't let some loud mouthed low-ranking member affect the reputation of the Starfinders. Soryn, you clearly know a lot about these races - do you know the rules well? Can we come up with some kind of plan on the way? I'm not sure there's much I can offer in terms of improving the racer, but I may be able to help understand and negotiate with some of the denizens of the Spike we'll be dealing with."

"What a great idea Seven!"

"We gotta meet all the faction heads so we might as well swallow the bitter pill whilst we still have the taste of honey in our mouths..."
Acquisitives it is!

Sittnym is beaming with price and enthusiasm as she watches Fitch go "What a woman! Great work you guys. I'm so proud of you all! Where next?"

Nice! Credits are easy to split, but what should we do about items?
Unless anyone feels strongly otherwise I propose we hit up Seven's faction next. Dataphiles?

Sittnym will distract the children and talk loudly to them so that Pangea's threats aren't easily heard "That's a nice little crate for Blue to go take some rest in whilst we find them a home where they won't cause any damage. Isn't that great? So, how do we get in touch with your Da? We don't want him to think you're lost or anything. I bet he'll get a kick out of knowing you guys helped us fix up the lights and computers on E-deck!"

Pangea's Mysticism roll was great, but if we still need some aid or skill checks for capturing Blue...
Culture: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Mysticism: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

As she begins to stand Sittnym projects to Soryn "Sorry Soryn, I'm an empath. My abilities are only really useful against fellow humanoids..."

To the kids she speaks aloud "Sounds like your buddy Blue still wants to play, want to introduce us?"

As she and the children approach the door and are visible to the room's inhabitants she calls out "Hi Blue, who's a good little one? Want to make some new friends?"

Assuming Soryn can use Diplomacy, here's an aid roll
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Sittnym heads to the door but goes no further, her focus is on the children and she intends to try and keep them safe and out of the way whilst the rest of the party capture Blue. From the door she gives the room a brief moment of her focus, scanning it with all of her senses to try and locate whatever Blue is.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Sittnym ackowledges Kadef's bow with a telepatchic message: "I'm no diplomat but I know how to make friends with kids"

Still kneeling as they enjoy the desert she speaks to the children "You guys are soooo nice looking out for your friend, and clever too setting up this trap. You could totally be Starfinders with actions like that! We don't want to hurt Blue, but we've got to get him somewhere more appropriate so that he doesn't do any more damage to the ship. What can you tell us about him?"

Sittnym catches the meal from Soryn "Hey guys, my friend Soryn brings along the best snacks on our missions. Want to try some of this? It'll help make sure you're full of energy before we go and find your Da." she takes some of the dessert to show the kids that it's delicious (and safe to eat, if they're still wary).

"Hi there Lieu Lan, Kieu Si! I'm Sittnym. We're friends! We're here to help you get home. Where is that? Is your Dad there? We need to help you get back to him so that you can tell him us Starfinders are the good guys!" Sittnym keeps it light-hearted and friendly, trying to gain the children's trust.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

At the talk of traps Sittnym places two fingers one her left hand against her temple reaches out with her mind and attempts to read the empotions of the girl and determine whether the creatures are hostile or false and ultimately whether it's a trap.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

This is her Empath conncetion ability Empathy

Sittnym's head drops in defeat and she turns back to the party, using her Limited Telepathy she broadcasts to the group "I can't seem to get a read on them, probably the door. Who's volunteering to pry this thing open?"

Sittnym's enthusiasm is easily curbed by Soryn's wise words "Ummm, ok... yeah. Sure! I'm... I'm sorry Soryn. It's just... did you see their faces?"

She falls back a few paces from the door and keeps watch whilst her allies are busy "Work your magic Seven!"

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Sittnym stares at the feed intently for a few seconds, a look of astonishment on her face "Children? Surely not. We gotta help them!" she rushes to the next room shouting "Don't worry little ones, we're Starfinders!" and let's out a brief titter of amusement at having been able to refer to herself as a member of the society.

Sittnym falls in behind the rest of the party (after nervously checking her equipment twice) keeping her eyes, ears and antennae alert.

@Bigrin I'll take 10 on Perception if I may Percetion => 19, otherwise here's a roll too.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Sittnym is not much use until we meet other life forms, being an empath, but she's extremely perceptive and can watch the party's rear.

Sittnym looks momentarily crestfallen when the drone screen cuts out but after a brief beat her down-tilted jaw raises once more
"I can't believe we just met Fitch you guys! This day just keeps on getting better and better!"

She stares intently at the holoscreen for a few moments before turning to the party
"This drone's screen has the schematics and the password, soooooo... I guess it would be OK to take it with us?"

If you're OK with it DM Bigrin I'll go ahead and choose Spellgem Cache (and mark off the others on my records, once I print them) as the spells all nicely complement my Empath and consistency is important for those of us curse with poor rolls.

Sittnym skips to the door as consensus seems to form on visiting the Wayfinders first "The Forever Queen be praised, to the Armada then? I can't wait to see it up close, I passed it on the way into the station but didn't think I'd get to visit so soon. Do you think we'll get to meet Fitch? I hope she's there!" she continues to gush with excitement, talking much to herself as the group, as she makes to leave.

Thanks for the welcome Pangea! I do have the "Welcome to the Society" boon, I'd missed that. Thanks! A Spellgem Cache seems very potent for a Mystic? Short of stating that I'm applying the boon in the Gameplay thread is there anything else I need to do?

Sittnym eagerly swabs here cheek and places her hand on the panel, giggling as the implant is inserted "oh, that felt funny!"

She waves awkwardly at the holograph "Questions, no... not really. I just wanted to say..." she looks down nervously before continuing "Guidance, I'm a huge fan. It's on honour to meet you! How are you? Are you ok?"

Slotting Wayfinders

Sittnym looks up from the handout she has been absently perusing, having shaken the excitable Gnome's hand, and smiles at Soryn "Yes, that's right -- I am Sittnym Estrandyr. Well met Soryn."

Addressing the wider group "It's truly a pleasure to meet you all, fellow Starfinders." holding the handout up she continues "The factions of the society are fascinating, are they not? Guardians of the Pact Worlds. Seekers of new species. Cataloguers of knowledge. Explorers and adventurers, all." she has become much more animated as she discusses the society. Her eyes are wide and her antennae have stopped scanning the room.

"I can't wait to hear what tasks Guidance has for us and which of the factions we'll be assigned to today. Do you have a favourite yet?"

@Soryn found a Lashunta avatar with that tip, much obliged!
@Bigrin first Starfinder game and a PbP newb, I'm sure it will be great. I'll certainly make use of the Discussion thread if I have questions - thanks for that! I can confirm that I can move my token in Roll20, apologies for the avatar change :-/

A slight and nervous looking Damaya Lashunta, her antennae twitching as though sensing the room, picks up a fruity Castrovellian beverage and slurps at it noisily before she waves stiffly.

"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Sittnym... I'm really, really excited to be here." she looks around the room, her eyes wide and innocent, seeming to be seeing everything in here as though she has never laid eyes on entities like it before.

Thanks for running DM Bigrin. I'm really excited to play my first Starfinder game. Here's the requested info
