Thomagar Dayana's page

Thanks for the game, and sorry for drifting out a bit towards the end due to work.

Haven't rolled my day job, but I'm more than happy to just take the chronicle as is since the credits won't amount to much anyway. :P

profession artist: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Thomagar stands at the porthole staring down silently as the planet slowly shrink and diminishes. He holds in his hand the deck from Nerii. Having just come out from his sabbatical, he is pleased that he has managed to play his part in bringing peace to the two warring groups. But he can't help but worry over the premature interstellar introduction and the mystical misinterpretation of the Society, and the potential imbalances that occurs.

Finally, he sighs and lets it go, acknowledging that every action would always cause another imbalance elsewhere. Balance is merely an illusion of constant imbalances correcting each other.

"I certainly hope so. I've found that people tend to hold onto their beliefs long past their accuracy has been debunked and the utility has been negated. So I certainly hope so."

Photon mode 1

Thomagar sheathes himself in stellar energy but holds back initially, not wanting to harm the kiinrias. Until the humongous insect bursts out, providing both teams with a common enemy.

"We need to take that down quickly!"

His path blocked by the crates, he nonetheless moves as far as he can as he pulls out and flings his starknife at the large creature.

tactical starknife vs KAC, photon mode, range penalty: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 13 - 2 = 13 slashing dmg: 1d4 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 = 15

Requesting to keep Thomagar's charge lane free into next round so that he can close in quickly for melee.

Not one particularly experienced with the wilderness, Thomagar still does what he can, keeping his eyes open.

survival, aid: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4

Sorry for the absence. The new year's celebrations kind of got away from me. Thanks for the bot.

Not used to the consumption of alcoholic or other mind-tampering substances, Thomagar's head is still reeling from the drink earlier, and the convoluted rules of Death Match isn't helping. Nonetheless, despite the spinning room, he grits his teeth and makes the best effort to bluff his way through the game.

bluff: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

As soon as the Builder approaches and starts speaking, Thomagar discreetly gestures to D'zyliit to activate the tetrad translator. As he releases the stellar energy, he calmly approaches the Buidler and starts speaking, repeating the same phrases again and again until the device picks up enough from both sides to translate.

"We meant no harm. Sorry if we hurt anyone. We want to be friends."

diplomacy, sidereal influemce: 1d20 + 15 + 1d6 ⇒ (9) + 15 + (2) = 26

photon mode 2

Thomagar continues to close in on the builders raising his left hand to summon back his starknife. He catches it as it comes spinning back while slamming his glowing palm at the same target.

solar palm vs KAC, photon mode, nonlethal: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 13 - 4 = 16 nonlethal bludgeoning dmg: 2d6 + 16 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1) + 16 + (1) + 1 = 23

I'll be away on a staycation for the next 3 days so response might be slow. Please bot. I have bot instructions on Thom's profile page.

Presume the green areas are difficult terrain? If so, Thomagar can't charge then.

photon mode 1

Deciding that the two sides are not going to listen caught up in the heat of the combat, Thomagar attempts to close in as quickly as he can, drawing out his starknife as he does so. He then flings it at the nearest kiirintas, but slightly at at angle to not connect using its razer sharp edges.

tactical starknife vs KAC, photon mode, nonlethal, range: 1d20 + 13 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 13 - 4 - 2 = 22 nonlethal slashing dmg: 1d4 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 1 = 14

Swiveling his attention to the new entrant, Thomagar repeats the ship-to-ship communications attempting to throw it off.

vs green diamond: taunt, bluff: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Having down what he could to confuse the drones, he turns his attention now to the crew.

"Rocket, good shooting. Keep at it and we'll take them out in no time."

Encourage Rocket for +2, Auto-Succeed Diplomacy DC15

Having made the attempt at one of the drones, Thomagar switches to other one, attempting the same. He notes the presence of the other ship but waits until they know more of it.

vs yellow: taunt, bluff: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

I don't think there's an official ruling for this but would Taunt work against unmanned enemy ships?

Noting that unmanned nature of the drones, Thomagar quickly inputs a series of ship-to-ship communications, attempting to confuse one of the drone's central processor of the ship's intent.

vs green: taunt, bluff: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

A bit confused about how a spell ampoule of share language. The spell would normally allow the mystic to bestow on another creature the ability to understand her languages. But with a spell ampoule, do I apply it on the target to understand my language? How would the ampoule know that you are the reference point?

Anyway, I've also come across the Serum of Enhancement, Diplomay. Allows you to understand another's language, and get a +2 to diplomacy and bluff as well. But only last an hour.

Will purchase a Serum of Enhancement, Diplomat (475cr)

"The audacity of this..." Thomagar mutters under his breath, deeply frowning, staring at the chaos the weapons have caused on this budding planet. "They must be allowed to advance according to their own progress without external corruption."

Turning to Fitch, he asks, "When you saw lack advanced technology, approximately at what stage of development are they? I am concerned over how they would react to a first contact of a group of alien races, from their perspective. And more importantly, how would we communicate with them?"

Thomagar has levelled up to L6. Will that bump us up?

Since I have the opportunity, which ship role are we missing, and I can try to pad up the relevant skills. I usually build him for Captain via diplomacy and bluff, but I also recognise that Captain is not particularly a useful starship role. :)

Thomagar takes a deep breath and as he releases it, he similarly lets the stellar energy dissipates, just as his vision also slowly recovers.

"I do not enjoy the experience of being toyed with," he comments grimly.

ref DC13: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
fort DC15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Thomagar hears the large creature falls but does not have the opportunity to rejoice as he is hit by acidic bile and yet another explosive blast.

Stumbling still blinded, he heads towards where he thinks the nearest seedpod (red) and attempts to strike with his glowing palms but ends up just striking the air.

miss chance?: 1d100 ⇒ 14

Oops, sorry I missed that somehow. :P Included below.

Yup, I am.

To clarify, Thom is blind so 50% miss chance. The plant thingy has total concealment, so also 50% miss chance. But those two don't stack right? Miss chance is still 50%, and not 75%? (50% of 50%)

Photon mode round 2

fort DC15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
The blinded Thomagar fails to notice that blast, and catches it full on.

Putting that out of his mind, he continues swinging his glowing palms in the direction in which he presumes the plant creature is at, hoping against hope to connect.

fort DC15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 Bah...

Blinding
fort DC16: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Before Thom get the chance to act, he is first blasted by an explosion, then blinded by a sudden burst of light.

Nonetheless, he keeps sight of the plant creature in his mind's eye. Wreathing his body in stellar energy, he lets it propels himself forward, then slams his glowing arm at where he imagines the plant creature to be.

Stellar rush: move at double speed, negating the half speed penalty from blinded

Thomagar would like a ring of resistance as well if there's a spare

"Good going, guys. I think we can take a moment to recover. I don't hear anything as yet."

Presume we'll be heading to the next floor down.

"That is a good point, Swizzers."

As he enters, Thomagar swiftly positions himself at the other entrance, guarding against potential interference while the rest of his team search the place. He does take a quick look around along the way.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

"Huh, I'm not expert but someone seems to have tampered with the computers. Hacked it then reset it back to its lockdown state. Someone was here recently, it seems."

Thomagar lets out a deep sigh of relief. He recognises that he was not of much help, and is glad that the rest of team possesses skills in areas out of his ken.

”D’zyliit, you have nothing to apologise for. I myself was hardly of any help. But we’ve function well as a team.” He nods to the rest in appreciation.

He waits for the angel’s response, welcoming his presence.

Remaining undismayed at his lack of progress, Thomagar tries to focus his mind to look a way through the spores, continuing to push ahead...

round 4 Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
round 5 Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 Lol! Sigh...

Um, does having a jetpack, i.e. being able to fly, make a difference here?

A sense of self-doubt starts creeping into Thomagar's heart, but he takes a quick breath and deftly sets it aside, focusing on the next jump.

round 3 Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Thom is not particularly very skilled except in some social skills... :p

Thomagar does his best to leap from open space to open space, trying to avoid the spores, but does not seem to be doing a particularly good job of it.

round 1 Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
round 2 Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

+1 to jumping if it applies

Wondering if I can supernova to burn away the spores but that would probably trigger the explosion :)

Thomagar has been holding himself, knowing that he is of little help in calming down the angel. But now that it serves to have collected itself, he steps forward and asks, "What do you remember? Have any others passed before us?"

Thomagar is taken aback briefly by the appearance of the angelic being, but recovers his wit quickly. He first gives the creature a deepest bow.

"Please, angelic one, please hold your fire, for we are not whom you likely think we are. As my shirren companion has said, we are of the Starfinder Society, here not as thieves but to reclaim what was rightfully ours." He pauses here briefly, then continues in a reassuring voice, "We are on the same side."

diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

If the party is ok, Thomagar could take the diffraction cloak. His saving throws are nothing to sing about, and would often be in the frontline.

Thomagar takes a few deep breaths, trying to push aside his sense of unease. It helps that he is clearly not the only affected, and he turns to look at Viper, drawing from her some level of stability as he pushes himself into some stable meditative state with some success.

"Yes, let's push on. Time we flush out whatever is causing this." He again brings himself to the front, and waits for someone to check the door before going through.

Ok with Door 5. But have we checked Door 2?

Thomagar's breathing starts to quicken, unable to shake the feelings of unease. And looking at the rest of his team, clearly they are are sensing it to.

All except Viper.

"Viper, do you truly not feel anything strange? I believe I speak for the rest that we are sensing... something." At the end, he finds himself at a loss of words.

As the rest of the team moves in to examine the room, Thomagar stays outside to stand guard. He looks worryingly at the door at the other end though.

The glow surrounding Thomagar starts to pulsate unrhythmically, as he glances about uneasily. He can't shake off the feeling of being spied upon no matter which way he looks, and the hair on the back of his neck starts rising, his antenna swivelling around restlessly.

He does what he can to ignore it, moving into between the doors, ready to burst through the 'up' door as soon as those more perceptive declares an all clear.

"Sounds like a good plan," Thomagar replies in a low voice. He keeps near the front, ready to move forward to engage if the party encounters any danger. However, all that seems to be in the room are computer terminals. Leaving the rest to look through, he takes guard position at exit.

Going to assume that Viper 6 is safe being behind the corner even though she is 10ft away. If not, Thomagar will delay until she moves out of range.

Making sure that the rest of the team is out of range, Thomagar releases all the pent up stellar energy in a massive ball of fire!

supernova, fire damage: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 1, 2, 3) = 18 Both are within radius. Ref DC15 for half

If red goes down (very unlikely), Thomagar will use his remaining move action to step forward.

@Thagomar, at this point in time there isn't a free respect in SFS for this update.

Ok thanks. In that case, I'll go with piercing 'cos I find teeth the scariest, and hope there's a free respec for this. The nerf has made this feat way too specialised to be useful.

Oh, thanks for letting know about the update. Do you know if I could change it to another feat? If the DR is so specific, would rather have Toughness instead.

Stellar mode: photon 2

Seeing his teammates still dangerously nearby, Thomagar steps into the corner, keeping his friends away from the eventual explosion. He then continues pounding away at the same target.

vs green:
solar palm vs KAC, photon mode: 1d20 + 5 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 5 + 1 = 26 bludgeoning dmg: 1d6 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 5 + 3 + (3) + 1 = 23

Thomagar will likely explode next turn, so good if you can keep more than 10ft away.

Stellar mode: photo 1 (before this counter reaches 3, best to get out of 10' range)

Thomagar quickly moves past his team. He regrets that there are two avenues for the large insects to reach his team, but quickly sets that aside and moves down one way, before bring his glowing palm to slam on the one within reach.

vs green:
solar palm vs KAC, photon mode: 1d20 + 5 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 5 + 1 = 18 bludgeoning dmg: 1d6 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 5 + 3 + (2) + 1 = 19

Thomagar has DR 5/-.

As soon as Viper is convinced that the door is safe, Thomagar swiftly moves up to stand in front of the door, just in case anything should rush through from the other side. He absorbs his orbitting orb and both his arms to start glow, as he stands guard, waiting for the team to get ready.

Will slot my boons here.

Oops, sorry missed that the game has started!

Thomagar, or Thom for short, is a brawny lashunta, heavily armored with a shiny mote that orbits him, scintillating from color to color. Other than a starknife hanging from his belt, he carries few other weapons.

He has thus far remained silent, for he is a man of few words. Particularly after taken a rather long hiatus focusing on his sculpturing work that news of the smear campaign against the Society caught him by surprise, he decides it is best to just listen. And observe.

diplomacy, gather info, sidereal influence: 1d20 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 13 + (6) = 21
But it seems that when he needs to, he can be rather persuasive and shares with the team the information he gathered from canvassing around Absalom Station. Please go ahead and open the spoilers except for the last one.

---

Thom smiles mildly at Ziggy's attempt at joke. "Indeed, we should. As you said, the weapons are too sensitive to fall into the hands of others."

Yeah, keen as well! For both parts. Will likely bring Thomagar since this is a Exo-Guardian mission.

But wait, that's Thomagar's usual diet. :)

Thanks for the game! Chronicle looks good.

I'm in no rush either. Thanks for GMing! And thanks for the game, everyone!

There's still one more room we haven't explored? If so...

Thomagar looks up to the elevator, then back to the rest of the ship. "I agree. If we are going to do this, let's do a thorough job."

Thomagar looks suspiciously at Datch as he moves over to the elevator entrance cautiously, mindful for whatever other surprises there might be.

For the purchases, Thom will purchase

And sell his infrared sensor (for 20, sigh).

Then install the jetpack in his armor.

I'm good with whichever mission. :)

Ah in that case, he'll still get the jetpack at the discount, but the darksight goggles at normal price.

- Darksight Goggles: 2100
- Jetpack: 2790 (after discount)

Thomagar got a discounted jetpack in this post.

Stellar mode 2

In such close quarters, Thomagar sets aside any intentions to release his solar energy, keeping it within to power his attacks. He sends his palms to slam on the elf in two quick successions.

photon mode, get'em, flanking, full attack
solar palm vs KAC: 1d20 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 23 bludgeoning dmg: 1d6 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 5 + 3 + (4) + 1 = 23
