Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik begins by boosting the Ship's Shields, incase the Scro fire first...
Engineering: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Scarab Sages

Stik Comes up to the bridge, Ship ready for combat! You may begin whenever your ready! he says.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik maintains his position as Mechanic, preparing himself to start working

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Couldn't it just be that your constantly taking 10 unless we are engaged in combat, making so that unless we are taking a major flight maneuver we dont need to roll every time we wanna do something in the ship? I mean seriously, I know there is a chance we blow up every time we leave a planet, but I'd rather have it be completely up to the DM if that happens Stik comes to the bridge. How far are we going? I can activate the Slip drive if we need it...

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik moves over to his ship position, operating the machines. Should we begin preparation for take off?

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

I'll agree to go after Scro

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Stik is hardly aware of anything, being fully enamored in his datapad

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik looks at his datapad and nods. Oh, yes, I see it now, So easy to mistake two letters with each other...

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik Scoffs. No dought, but you forget, the history of Arthas. We are based on a gladiatorial culture. Our elves may not be as well trained, but they are fast, and tough. Eberron elves, like all others, are weak, they too are nimble, but not fast. Arthas elves can outlive your own in a battle if endurance. All they need to do is wear you out, then the prey is easy! he looks to Lamb. Am I not right, Lamb?"

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik thinks for a moment. Well, honestly, races of my home world have similar names to yours, but are Soo much different. Our elves for example can run miles across desserts with no issues. Your elves trying such a task would die halfway through the first quarter of dehydration. And orcs don't only have green skin, some have black or red if I remember correctly...

Scarab Sages

Stik hears the words "Experimental" and "Technology" and immediately puts in his vote for that. Any chance to get new technology is a chance worth taking! But I do suggest we do something that doesn't require us getting involved in a fire fight first. I only have one canister if petrol and I want to be prepared for a battle if we are getting into one.

Engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 unless I can take 10 instead
Stik issnt putting much effort into his work, figuring most of the ship doesn't really need matinence. Everything looks fine down here... Stik Says, making sure all the moving parts are properly lubricated.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik Boards the ship and goes to familiarize himself with the engine and generally make note of everything. Making sure every bolt and screw is tight and secured.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

I have access to the alien archive(and the 20 playable races inside), and might be able to share it with you(on a view only basis)

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Okay, I have the book again, and am buying a flame pistol for my character...

Stik returns from his shopping, the drone hanging from his back like a backpack.

Hello again, have we purchased a ship?

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik takes his share of the money(333) and goes off to buy a weaponSeems my access to the rulebooks has run into a speed bump, I'll be able to finish this once I convince my friend to give me the PDF :P

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik thinks for a moment about the ship. The ship itself is scrap. it will mostly sell for parts, i don't Suggest keeping it for use. it is just as likely to explode on going into FTL travel as those junk-lazers are to turn into grenades. he says, expertly putting his mechanical expertise to good work. I suggest we scrap it and get a more reliable ship, if you are getting a ship at all... and if I am to come along I request to have access to a good supply of scrap and junk.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik comes to Chkchka and waits patiently. I would like to request my cut... how much exactly do i get? i need to purchase a weapon and it would be very productive to know my budget. He "smiles" as he asks this, the Thri-kreen trying his best to appeal to the other Insectoid in the group.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik has his drone power down, grabbing it and making minor repairs. I will be able to purchase my own weapon. he says.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik counts the bullets left in his gun. Six, until reload... he then goes to collect what scraps he can from the goblins... Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

He occasionally makes sure his drone isn't too Damaged...

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik staggers a little, but is more concerned with his drone than himself. How dare you!!! he cries, firing back in rage Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 however the emotion clouds his aim

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik makes note of the ammo left in the gun and fires again, Random Goblin: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 this time still firing randomly.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik moves fires once, aiming to make sure he didn't miss.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

However he forgets how to aim for a second and just fires in the goblins direction.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik looks around, not sure what he could do at this point... If only he had a flamethrower... He stands and fires once at the big goblin, figuring if he went down the rest would surrender.
Attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Once again not very impressive despite well aimed.
He then quickly hides behind his cover.

His drone quickly retreats and hovers above him.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Except you :(

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Would have offered the drone dropping a grenade in :P
Stick shakes his head, unable to imagine the thought prosses of Glory, who seems like she didn't even bother hiding before shouting like a mainiac.
Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik draws the barrowed handgun he was given and looks to the others. Ten in total, Unloading boxes, possibly drugs. Assuming all are armed. he switches the safety off on the handgun.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik glances over and begins to stare off into he distance... Suddenly the Drone, which he has come to start calling Tek, springs to life and begins a flyover of the goblins. Stealth(Drone): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

The drone's jets run silently as it makes a simple run over the goblins, getting their numbers. Using Camera to Record how many there are,
Perception(Stik in control): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik sighs, Look, Im honestly fine. I can get a gun when we have more money.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

All I need is ammo, so about 30 credits will be fine :P honestly though I'd rather save up for a different Weapon, like a flame pistol, or a sniper rifle

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik sighs. Well, honestly, I want a gun for my drone... Tek. She can scout ahead and defend herself then. Although, if you'd want your gun back, attaching and removing the Weapon takes a while. Although it could be saved for after the goblins. after all, Tek can still scout, just not engage. he pulls out the pistol and slides it's clip out. I will try not to use too much, and honestly I'm more used to... Ah ... Well a longer gun. I was trained as both a mechanic and a scout. My job would have been to ride across desserts and fix long distance satalites, but I choose to come here... To instead work on this space station. Seems my skills can be put to better use.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik counts his credits, using his Datajack to read his credstick. Well, with the 100 from the junk-blaster, the money divided, and what I had myself I have enough but will be short on ammo, which isn't an issue so long as I don't miss.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

they revel in their individuality. even though they like to work with others.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik looks to the group. I know where they are, the goblins are docked in a junkship. here is the location. he sends the info to your com-units. now we must decide how we are to engage these goblins.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

The Thri-kreen looks up to the camera and huffs. Alright... Let us see! using his drone he takes a cord from his bag and plugs one end into his head, while also handing the other end to his drone, who plugs it into the port above. Stik then begins ghost typing, as if there was a keyboard in front of him. This Shouldn't take long... Computers Check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28I gain Root access if I beet the DC by 20, but honestly that isn't possible right now :P

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Heh... I just realized, The custom Rig let's me make mechanics checks without having to find a kit. But my custom Rig is in my head :P so I use my head to build things!

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12The +1 is why I didn't roll :P stik-tik isn't trying that hard to find cameras... If that fails he's just gonna take 20, given that there isn't really a need to rush
Drone perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Stik takes the fourm and begins filling it out. He mentions that he has an artificial intelligence with him and makes sure to sign it up as well

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

I can switch between engineer and science officer, being skilled in both computers and mechanics. Although I'm only +8 in computers for now, that will only get bigger as I have bypass which will improve my skills with computers as we go. Not to mention I'm also equiped with a custom Rig, granting me all the requirements for all computer and mechanics checks.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik chuckles. Human squeamish nature has always facinated me. You squirm and cringe at the thought of of dead things, yet are willing to partake in the consumption of meat. And you don't even eat the best parts! he chitters. But anyways, if I may suggest a name, I believe a more practical name. Something short, like the Black-steel group, or the Hand of Justice. One of us for every finger on the human hand...

He then grabs his drone and adjusts something on it before letting it loose again. I'm gonna go see if I can find evidence if where the goblins went. he quickly looks around for a security camera.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik is balked by the requirements. The Junk-blasters? Is it not better to take ears? After all, blasters can be faked.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Well to be honest I'll be on charge of most of the power related things in space : P

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik-Tik doesn't mention anything. If he really wanted to know he'd just look it up later.

He quickly uses his Comlink to access the other's. If you don't mind, I'm making sure our com-units are all linked. If we want to be a team might as well make sure we can communicate with each other... he doesn't say anything to the security...

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik turns to Chkchka and bows.

Shirren language:
Greetings, I am Stik-Tik, I do not mind calling you by your full name. Humans have always found the sounds of our kinds difficult on the mouth.

Then turning to the human. I have heard that goblins cause trouble everywhere. They are not native to Athas so I wouldn't know... But I do know criminals don't stay in one place too long. If we wish to catch the goblin we must be quick. I can contact security from a console as easily as I can the access their cameras. Infact, my custom Rig is a Com-unit... As well as implanted in my head.
The Thri-kreen indicates a plate of metal on the side of his head, where the ear would be on others species.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Hmm... Honestly I like the idea of an explorer, then getting something bigger later on, possibly have a hangar for land vehicles.

Although the ship from Firefly would be fun as well :P

Also, I'd like some of those credits... Gonna see if I can buy myself a weapon.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik takes the automatic and makes sure it's loaded, quickly switching the safety on when he does. The drone hovers a foot above his head, it's camera spinning... No indication it's recording. Stik slides the automatic into a belt slot and turns to glory. We can go to the security, but it will take time for them to access records and do it all manually. Bring me to a terminal and I can get root access, skipping the paperwork and accessing the system directly. It's just a simple task of then following the goblins through the camera system... Once we locate their ship we can either take care if it ourselves or go to the security and let them know where they are... But once again there is much paperwork and the process will take time.

There is a good chance the Goblin will try to leave, we need to stop them before they do

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik looks to his drone. You know, the space goblins had to come from somewhere. It might be a good idea to track them down and find where they are docking. I might be able to find them if I plug into the camera system and track them down through it.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

The stats for a junk-blaster is in the first contact book(it's a free PDF) they do 1d6F, have a range of 20ft, and explode on a roll of 1 in 1d4-1 rounds.

They are the dogslicers of Lazer pistols.

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik-Tik and his drone gather back up, he quickly retrives his knife and goes to grab one of the dropped junk-blasters. I wonder if I could make my own pistol, using the basic parts of this and several other weapons... Hmm... his drone beeps and takes the blaster from him. I'll need something that doesn't explode to put in your rig after all! he says to the drone. He then turns to the others. Greetings! I am Stik-Tik, this is my drone... She has yet to pick a name. I am so sorry I could not be more help, I have no pistols...

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Ugh, just leave me out of the shipbulding, I'd rather be left with just repairing it...

Scarab Sages

Male Thri-Kreen Mechanic (Spacefarer theme) 1

Stik sighs, drawing his survival knife and readying himself. With a quick movement he throws the knife at the closest Goblin, hoping that it hits. Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20(-1 for every 10ft range increment)
dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1Well it hit... But wasn't so spectacular

His drone then flies over to El, the little camera focusing. Hello it says, Having trouble? the drone obviously unconcerned about the goblins.
