The ysoki shrugs, a quick shiver of his shoulders. "It's not a spoiler to tell you I lived to tell the tale, is it?"

As a rerun of "Pact World Warriors" comes up one one of the displays near the bar, a ysoki perched on his pack points up at it. "Hey, that's the one I was one!"

Updated chronicle looks good!

Thanks for the quick reply!

Profession (Mercenary) check for day job: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Figures. It's of a piece with my other rolls.

Thanks for running, GM S, and thanks to the other players! It was fun.

Incidentally, it doesn't look like you ever asked us to make Day Job rolls. I see there's a space for them on the chronicle sheet, though--should we have done that?

Tik continues to fire inaccurately at the teal terrier.

Stealth, Attack: 2d20 ⇒ (13, 2) = 15

On hearing that his laser pistol probably won't charge the terrible puppy children up, Tik aims a stealthy shot at Thing #1.

Stealth, attack: 2d20 ⇒ (3, 9) = 12

His shot is, however, decidedly obvious. But just to make up for being obvious, it's also inaccurate (unless a 16 hits its EAC).

Laser fire damage roll, just in case: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Tik holds fire for a moment. "Talk to me, Elwin. How do we kill these things?"

Tik continues to blast #4.

Stealth check for trick attack; DC=20+CR: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23
Laser pistol shot vs. EAC, including bonus: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23

Laser (fire) damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The ysoki chitters angrily and fires again at the same target.

Stealth check for trick attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35
Laser pistol attack vs. KAC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26

Fire damage, including trick attack: 1d4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (6) = 10

I'll take the +1 to hit.

Tik moves to get a better angle on #4 and fires his laser at it surreptitiously but inaccurately.

Stealth check for trick attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29
Laser shot vs. flatfooted EAC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12

Vutrul, remember that the stairs are 15 feet of difficult terrain, and the enemies are at the top of the platform. I'm not sure you can get within striking range.

Waiting to see if the boffins have ID'd the creatures before taking a shot.

Tik scoots forward and tries to sneak a shot off past the big bug's guard.

Stealth check for trick attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29
Laser pistol attack vs. (hopefully flatfooted) EAC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Fire damage, if applicable, including trick attack: 1d4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (3) = 6

Tik has a +5 in it due to INT and the jack-of-all-trades exploit, if it comes to that.

Does anyone have Life Science? It'd be good to know what these things are.

Drawing his laser pistol, Tik takes a quick step forward and snaps off a shot at the purple-dashed creature.

Stealth check for trick attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
Laser pistol attack vs. EAC, F: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Pistol damage, if applicable, including trick attack: 1d4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (6) = 10

GM S, I think an 8-hour rest should bring Tik to full HP--he was down 3, and 8 hours of rest heals 1 HP/level.

Culture check to identify glyph: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Someone else is going to have to take this, unless I get a lot of successful Aid Another rolls.

ETA: And someone else did, just before I posted. Tik will Aid Another on the Engineering check, too. With a +11, he does so automatically.

"Who else would be interested in something like this? We're Starfinders, of course. Getting your partner back seems like a worthwhile task, but we should do it in a way that's not going to, you know, turn the planet inside out. I'm kind of partial to Akiton."

Tik grimaces at the impacts. "We need to keep trying."

Culture check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Is there a save allowed against some or all of the damage?

Can our second attempts be with the same skill we previously used?

I'll try the second Culture check. Amariel should try the Engineering check.

Culture check - Decipher the Glyphs: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

"I don't know whether those patterns are actual language. They don't match any symbology I'm familiar with."

** spoiler omitted **

Assumed Tik's roll was the initial culture check on the glyphs

Correct.

Atu, Tik has a set of trapsmith's tools that will give you a +4 on your check.

I think that at +9, Tik has the highest Culture check in the party. If not, treat this as an Aid Another.

The ysoki sets down his back and leans against it, considering the glyphs.

Culture check, not including any penalties or bonuses: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

"I think I've seen something like this before."

Tik gives a quick shrug. "No idea. Anything we know of history before the Gap is untrustworthy at best."

Tik tries to shoot the teal robot again.

Rifle vs. KAC: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 1 = 16

Damage, if applicable: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Tik reloads and shoots the teal robot.

Sniper rifle vs. KAC: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 1 = 6

I'm not sure what I did to get the dice module upset with me.

Reflex save, including temporal penalty: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 - 1 = 7

Tik is entangled.

Survival check to identify starscape: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

The ysoki draws his sniper rifle and aims at one of the non-black robots. The bullet is far from accurate, though.

Rifle attack vs. KAC, including temporal penalty: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 1 = 9

Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Tik continues to scrutinize the path as well as he's able to.

Survival check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Tik nods, whiskers twitching.

The ysoki holds up a hand. "Wait...let's see if this is really doing what it looks like. Uf it is, our tracks should be here." He bends down and starts looking.

Survival check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

"Left?"

"I could use some rest."

Tik swaps the batteries in his laser pistol and his pulsecaster pistol.

Hey, I woke this morning projectile vomiting, and I'm still feeling queezy. I won't be able to think or post today or tomorrow. Feel free to bot me.

Ouch. Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon.

Tik grunts as the blow strikes him, then abandons stealth (or fails at it...he's not saying which) and slashes back.

Slash vs. KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Stealth check for trick attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18
Slash damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

From his improved position, Tik steps up and cuts at the blue-dashed zombie with his knife. He slips on his approach, though, and his blade is only vaguely in the vicinity of the target.

Stealth check for trick attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25
Knife attack vs. KAC, slashing: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Tik will hold an unmodified attack, then, if one of them closes and tries to attack him.

Tik is holding a trick attack if one closes with him.

Tik advances, drawing his survival knife, and holds a trick attack if one of the deadites approaches him with encephalophagic intent.

Stealth check for trick attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31
Knife to face vs. KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Trick attack damage, if applicable: 1d8 ⇒ 7

The ysoki scuttles forward to assist the spathinae in their examination of the bodies. "Weird. They're dressed like reenactors. Rich ones, too."

With a +9 in Medicine, Tik automatically aids another.

Tik nods, clicking his teeth together. "Let's go! Unless you want to let Command know, drop a beacon on it, and do one of the other missions?"

Waiting to see if that finishes the last guardian.

No problem! You're right about keeping things moving.

If Tik's attack had killed it, Buddy might have done something else.

I'll make a Stealth check for the trick attack, since it sounds like I can.

Stealth check for trick attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29
Trick attack damage, if applicable: 1d8 ⇒ 6

I'm not sure whether carrying a weapon in a cheek pouch works, though; that makes "drawing" it a swift action, but a full action (like trick attack) precludes taking "any other standard, move, or swift actions that turn."
