Excellent. Consider me "bowed out" unless you need me for a minimum table, in which case I'm happy to come back for no SFS credit.

Good luck, everyone!

@GM, it has come to my attention that there are far fewer SFS Replayable scenarios than there are PFS Evergreens, and since I've already been through this with a different character, it seems I'm ineligible.

My apologies for the confusion. I did not read the Guide sufficiently.

I'm happy to bow out if you can find another legal player. Failing that, I'm happy to stay in to avoid throwing the rest of the party under the bus.

Would you like to run a quick Recruitment for my spot?

Tamerriv telepaths to the entire group.

Firzzzt Zzzeeker Luwazi, it izzz an honor to be zzzelected. We zzzhall do our bezzzt. If I may, what izzz the drezzz code for the event? I fear I do not have the nezzzezzzary formal clothing itemzzz.

The Shirren responds telepathically, while proffering her hand for a handshake.

Good day, X5NZZZA and CD1. I am known azzz Tamerriv. I find Vezzzk to be zzztalwart, brave, and...brave.

Apologies, the Campaigns tab was not updating.

A Shirren with a lightly pearlescent violet exoskeleton arrives. She takes several minutes to decide between the small number of identical chairs available.

Once the choice is made, she settles in with a satisfied buzz.

Thanks, got it.

@GM, I think you need to open the Campaign tab for us. All I'm getting is:

The Game Master has not yet created a description for this campaign.

Tamerriv buzzes contentedly.

A concert sounds nice. Very kind of you.

Nice work, everyone! This was a good one.

I believe we've already thoroughly searched everywhere on the Scholar except the bridge, so...

Tamerriv quickly but efficiently searches the bridge for anything of note.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Do we need a Computers roll to download the data? If not, Tamerriv will go ahead and do that. If so, someone with better skills should try it.

Can we rig up a tractor beam to tow the Scholar to safety?

Engineering: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

If not, I agree, we need to download the ship's logs, do a quick but thorough search, and get away before that...Tamerriv gestures to the looming storm...reaches us.

Tamerriv tries to put the horrid creature down for good.

Gauntlet, Higher Ground, Get 'Em: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 8 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

She slips slightly on the tilted surface, throwing off her aim.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 Oooh, I hope that's enough.

Tamerriv buzzes as the Xill's bite finds its mark, but is immediately buoyed by her captain's encouragement.

SP 9-9+7=7 HP 9-4=5 RP 3

She strikes back with desperate resolve.

Gauntlet, Higher Ground, Get 'Em, Full Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 9 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Gauntlet, Higher Ground, Get 'Em, Full Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 16 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

I think I'm headed for Beatdown-town. Get your Healing Serums ready. :-)

Tamerriv, seeing an opportunity for a tactical advantage, moves in and leaps onto the Science station.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 Pretty sure that's a success.

She buzzes menacingly and speaks aloud.

Go back to your own dimension. This one is ours.

Dropping the Idari baton (Free action), she elects to use her pulse gauntlet and simply smash the interloper into tiny bits.

Gauntlet, Higher Ground: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 = 13 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

I think Darilian and I are the only ones with HP loss, so we'll take the serums with everyone's approval. Darilian is more injured than I, so he goes first.

Healing Serum for Darilian: 1d8 ⇒ 5

That gets him up to 7/12 HP, still below me, so he gets the second one too.

Healing Serum for Darilian: 1d8 ⇒ 3

That puts us about equal, hit point wise. Sound good?

That was rough. Nice teamwork, everyone. Does anyone mind if I take a breather?

Assuming no objection, Tamerriv rests 10 minutes to recuperate stamina.

SP 9/9 HP 9/13 RP 2/3

Once rested, she searches the area for anything interesting.

Perception, Take 20: 20 + 2 = 22 Darkvision+Blindsense

Assuming nothing interesting is found or tries to kill her, she is ready to move on to the bridge with all this done.

Tamerriv involuntarily buzzes as the horrid monster slashes at her, but retains the focus to strike back.

I'm hit, but not badly.

IFTB, Flanking: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 = 25 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Okay, that's better.
Crit Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Minimum damage on both, Dicebot???

SP 0/9 HP 9/13 RP 3/3

That's it. We're hitting him now.

Tamerriv steadies her footing and tries again.

IFTB, Flanking: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Tamerriv moves into position and silently strikes.

IFTB: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Normally sure-footed, this time she slips on a puddle of blood and her strike goes wide.

Tamerriv is ready, baton in hand.

Tamerriv checks the connection.

If we remove power from the Mess door circuit, does it close and lock or stay open?

Tamerriv moves in to inspect one or more bodies.

How did they die?

Medicine, Untrained: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3

I have complete faith in you, Rez.

South of the control module, several dead, brick-sized starship batteries are stacked on metal shelves. The topmost row is hooked up to an exposed power terminal labeled “Mess” with a black marker. Another power terminal is labeled “Bridge.”

I think I know where to plug this in.

Unless someone else volunteers (being one of the front-line fighters who we may want at the door when it opens), Tamerriv takes the robot's battery to the Engine room and plugs it into the Bridge power terminal.

Tamerriv does a sweep of the lavatory to make sure nothing is hiding in the stalls or shower, and checks the lockers. She leaves any locked lockers alone.

Assuming she finds nothing, she moves to the door to the bridge and listens carefully.

Take 20 for 22.

@GM, did your last post get cut off? It seemed to end mid-sentence.

An unfortunate end for Blue Sky-101. What would cause such extreme heat?

Engineering: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Sounds good.

@GM, Our sensors surely would have detected the massive damage to the cargo store, yes? Do we think it's exposed to space?

Our sensors surely would have detected the massive damage to the cargo store, yes? Do we think it's exposed to space?

Tamerriv drinks one of the serums.

+2 Acrobatics & Athletics, +1 HP for one hour.

Hmmm. Then perhaps we have not yet found BlueSky-101. I suggest we call our new mechanical friend "KFTME".

Somehow her Shirren language allows her to pronounce that. You're not sure if you can.

Well, that went better than expected. It's good we did not have to put it down.

Can we teach it to speak Common?

Serums for Darilian and myself as our frontline fighters? It's only a mild boost to Athletics & Agility and a single HP at this level.

If so, I'll take mine now.

I would prefer to disable power to this room in case that robot correctly identifies us as intruders to the ship, but with the state of the engine room I don't think that's possible right now.

I am ready when you are.

Does anyone have a flashlight? I can't quite make out what this thing is on the ceiling.

Just learned that bold+italic indicates telepathy.

The training room is unlikely to be forward. I suspect it is the port aft quadrant.

As Tamerriv moves to the door she specified, the trail of blood begins to disturb her.

But I suspect we may find more than we expect behind this door.

She examines the door and listens carefully for any movement inside.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Yup, nothing there, guys!

Sounds good.

Tamerriv trills a little bit in pleasure.

Well, so much for that plan. What is our second choice?

SP 5/9 HP 13/13 RP 3/3

Tamerriv laughs (an odd "tinny" sound to non-Shirren minds) telepathically.

Thorax here, torso there. But front is still front, and back is still back. And I am glad to have you at mine.

It sounds like everyone is ready to open the door.

Tamerriv attempts to open the door, baton ready.

Ninja'd by the GM! This "no preview" bug is proving to be interesting.

She moves into the room cautiously.

We should not, I think, modify any of the power settings just yet. If the unfortunate former android is trapped via force field, we want her kept that way. But I wonder if the Drift engine can be patched up just enough to get us into the Drift...

Engineering: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Tamerriv is quietly puzzled by Moxie's comment.

Surely she knows that it is the choice that's important, not what is chosen.

She readies her sparkly new baton and moves carefully to the engine room door.

Take 10 on Perception (12) as needed.

Perception on the door: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Repairing the Drift engine seems like the best course of action to choose.

Tamerriv seems to take pleasure in speaking the last word of her thought.

Assuming Yuta shares that with us,

So if it is one of these Drift Deads, we can make it vulnerable by activating the drift engine? We wouldn't have to go far, just enter the Drift long enough to put it out of its misery.

If it is an android, they may even be hiding outside of the ship.

Can we ask the ship's AI to scan the exterior of the Scholar?

Culture DC15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Tamerriv gives a moment of silence in honor of the recently dead.

They *chose* to face their demise honorably and bravely. At least they had that.

After reading the log,

My weapons are ineffective against a creature as described in this log.

Anyone else want/need the training baton? I won't be much use with my current weapons.

Tamerriv engages her Infrared Sensors.

Let us be methodical about it then. Let us choose...

She checks the door behind them (opposite from the captain's quarters).

...here.

She shudders with the thrill of Choice.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 Blindsense, Darkvision

@GM is the hull pressurized? It makes a difference for my Blindsense.

If no one objects, she moves to open the door, Light Reaction Cannon ready.

Tamerriv nods assent and readies her Light Reaction Cannon.

That's not good.

She examines the weapon turret.

Engineering: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Edited after my post being ninja'd by the GM. Reusing the same Engineering roll for something else.

GM's link is mangled, or at least it's not working for me. Here is the decoded transmission.

Mysticism, Untrained: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Computers, Untrained: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15

There may be sentients still alive on the Scholar. I agree, we must work quickly.

Well done, everyone. They are a formidable opponent.

Tamerriv lines up her shot and fires.

LPB turret, duonode bonus: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5 Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 1) = 7

In her excitement at possibly claiming the killing shot, she inadvertently brushes a targeting compensation control and throws off her aim.

Cursing herself for the mistake, she recalibrates the controller and prepares her next shot.

Thanks, GM.

Not sure how I would rule as a GM on whether Shirren Communalism can be applied during Starship Combat. By RAW it seems "no", since there's no map where I can verify that I'm sitting at a console within 10ft of an ally.

But by RAI I think there's a case to be made that we're all working together here so that would lead to a "yes".

I'm asking for the "yes", but as always, GM's ruling is final and does not need to be justified in order to be accepted. I'm good either way.
