"Second floor. Otherwise it between us and Bagra. Bad. We go kill it, find way out. It keep attacking if we not kill it. No idea about Tek. Inside? Absorbed?"
"Maybe know we not enemy. May not care. Attacked others. Not optimistic"

"This very strange. Should not be able to understand this but can. This too important to summarize. I'll translate as best I can" "We have removed some of her fries and put them in Level 2 Test Bay. I have a new serum, I believe, to suspend the connection formed by the cranial gland tauslek for an indefinite period of time. This can greatly advance our efforts indefinitely retain matrix identity of the victim. The degradation of these vital fluids and their memory will be the thing of the past. Unfortunately, the topic less happy with me for the conduct of these bodily disorders. I need to convert a few klaven, to help in combat and protect against any outbreak. She is very intelligent, and I have no doubt that her ability to understand the concept of revenge. "At the end of the recording, one word identifies the author as« Lomrick." "If his armor can take them, suggest give jump jets to Gorn. He get close and personal so can use best. Whoever can use grenade take one each. Maybe Andretta take one med patch, Twitch or I take other? Yes, Tuk you should take spell amps"
"This only guess. But Drift travel dangerous, sometimes things come into Drift. Maybe we captured, on ship in Drift. Accident happen with asteroid. Ship damaged, we released. So we on ship. Maybe in Drift. Maybe out of Drift." Trellik would also try and read the book. As Tuk says, feel free to roll on my behalf whatever skill is appropriate.
"Looks like we on ship that was hit by asteroid. Maybe. Drift accident?"
I can go first if want. Try and find traps. Stealth ahead a little. Gorn, do NOT attack everything you see. Except Guards. Them you can attack. Baghra people. May be other people. May look like enemies but, unless they attack, do NOT just attack them. May be friends. All prisoners here like us. Stop acting like Rabid Dog."
Pretty sure it was Twitch (5) and myself (6) who failed at the DC 10 climb check
I can do this. I CAN do this
No, I can't. Oops
As long as we have bullets I'll be using my pistol (mostly). So I essentially have an extra battery for when its needed. Just mentioning it now in case I completely forget later :-)
Excellent. Thanks
"We in LOTS of trouble. That tentacled thing sounds like MIGHT be Tauslek Matriarch. Live in Drift Space. We may be in Drift? Maybe it captured too? Do not look at eyes. Hynotized. You stand there. Let it kill you. Suggest if somebody hypnotized, somebody else try and shake them out if it, break eye contact. Bone guys have heard of. Klaven. Legends only. From very, very far away. Abduct people. Turn them into bone men. Not sure how. Grafting limbs part of it. Can communicate to each other without words or telepathy. Pheromes? Nanites? Don't know. They probably kidnapped us. Bad. Already 1/2 out of bullets for pistol. Glad have second gun. We need to take EVERYTHING useful. Not know when can get batteries, bullets. Try to save ammo. Andretta, suggest you take armor. Better than nothing. And bone spur rifle. Better than nothing. We also take other rifles. I take one. Tuk'yik, other? Carry other bonespur rifles. They crap but we may need. Better than nothing. Anybody not got melee weapon, take scimitar. Don't care if you any good. Better than nothing Trellik switches so he has his laser pistol in one hand and his survival knife in the other
Do those muscly ropes look alive or just organic? No idea what roll that would be
Hit points have never made ANY in world sense (yeah, I've seen the justifications. But the justifications fall apart VERY quickly if you look at them at ANY level of detail). But, over the years, I've managed to internalize them enough that I just completely ignore how silly they are in world and treat them as a total abstraction that makes games easier (and better than most of the other abstractions come up with). I just treat Stamina/Hit points more or less the same way. A gaming abstraction that absolutely does NOT make any in world sense if you look at them closely. In reality, somebody shoots you in the chest and you are severely injured for months or die. That doesn't make for good heroic fantasy and both Pathfinder and Starfinder are heroic fantasy.
Trellik attempts to identify the bony creatures No penalty for being Rare On the off chance that he has ANY chance to identify the tentacled thing just from description
"Should keep checking the rooms. May be others."
I think the fact that heal spells do NOT heal stamina damage is a very deliberate design decision. If nothing else, it makes the Envoy ability far more powerful. Personally, I wouldn't change it in a home game until I had more experience with how the existing system works
With a clear shot, Trellik is confident that he'll be able to hit the opponent. Unfortunately, as they say, pride goeth before a fall, While he manages to distract his enemy, his shot still goes wild
tRellik, so R please
Unfortunately, Gorn is giving cover to the enemy. But, with luck, maybe he can manage to hit it anyway. Trellik shoots at the rock behind the weird thing, hoping to ricochet it
The bullet hits the rock and ricochets wildly away
Trellik moves to the spot immediately to the right of Tw (I think that is Tw3) and shoots the bad guy.
I think my attack missed, unfortunately. When I make a trick attack, I make two rolls. The first (survival in my case) determines if the opponent is flatfooted or not. If he IS flatfooted THEN I get the additional 1d4 damage. So, my survival roll of 15 definitely does NOT succeed (DC is 20 + CR). So, opponent not flat footed. So, if my 14 hits his KAC Trellik STILL hits but for less damage. If (as you stated) the 14 is below his KAC then, alas, no hit at all.
For what its worth, my using abbreviated phrases is meant to be fast talking. Best I could figure out with typing
Trellik goes into the room, hugging the wall, and then fires at K2 Trick attack
IF that hits and puts him down
I'm NOT trying to push you or anything, just wanted to make sure that we're on the same page. I'm waiting for your update in the gameplay thread before posting since I'm behind the bad guy in initiativ
I usually flavour non lethal damage as shooting for the kneecaps or other body parts that can be injured without killing. I'm actually finding it more difficult to figure out how to flavour stun pistols harming undead or constructs by just aiming at vulnerable bits (which is presumably what the -4 is supposed to reflect)
I'd echo Tuk'Yik. I'd mildly prefer you to roll dice openly but its up to you.
This works for me too. Thanks
"Hope these were the ones did the killing. Guess committed now" Sense motive to see if these DID do the killing
Trellik would move away from the creatures on such a way to not provoke an attack of opportunity. If there is a place that he can get cover, he would. In any event, he moves in such a way to briefly splash goop into one of the creatures eyes (one who is wounded if that is possible) Trick attack
The photobucket maps aren't working for me. Told "Please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting"
"Sorry. Rude of us. My name is Trellik. You never said where you from. We were on starship heading to Absalom station. We from 317 After Gap"
Trellik raises his weapon but doesn't actually point it at the human Hairless Ape. Check. Testosterone through roof. Check. Acting like idiot. Check. Think size make him tough. Check. Wonder when will have to kill him. He whispers in Ysoki
Out loud
"Yes, lets check out gunshot. One side may be friend. I go first" Assuming party agrees, Trellik sets out a little ahead of the party, trying to stealth up on whatever is going on
If allowed, would take 10 on both the culture and diplomacy rolls. If not allowed
In either case, unless they seem actively hostile
Trellik rapidly re-equips himself with his gear
"Lets try deal with Bagrha. We give them weapons, armor if they agree follow us, fight for us. Let them think Tekumsah our leader. Look like they respect size more than guile" With that, Trellik tries to pantomine exactly that to the Bagrha. He points to himself, he grovels at Tekumsahs feet. He then points to a weapon, pantomines offering it to Bagrha, then turns, pretends to accept weapon, again grovels at Tekumsah's feet No clue what roll for that :-). Culture? Diplomacy?
-5 to DC for rare
"Other doors MAY be more pods. Lets leave to last. NOT want to wake up Krillithaz" "Dog people back in room. Lets go look at noise"
"Agreed, better to go to silent areas first. Find stuff there?"
"Time to go. Nothing here. Lets Explore. Find answers. Or food, water, weapons. Tekumsah, you toughest. You willing to take lead? If get PROPER weapon I lead then"
By far and away the best PBP experiences I have had (meaning no insult to our GM here, not counting him since this game is far too young) have been with HMM (the Venture Lieutenant for Online play). One such campaign is here
If your're looking for examples of well run campaigns, I'd suggest reading some of hers
So, how good a storage container is a Ysoki cheek pouch? A question that I didn't think I'd be asking :-). "No, I don't remember anything either. I wonder how long we were in those pods? Could be a LOT longer than we realize. Happy thought. Not!!" He will very cautiously taste a tiny, tiny bit of the goop to see if is is edible. "We should try and make friends with dog things. Maybe similar to gnolls. Not want them angry behind us" He then tries talking directly to them. Taps himself.
points at Twitch
He then goes to some of the goop and draws something approximating a Ysoki. "Ysoki." Then points to Twitch and himself.
Then points to them inquiringly
Thought this was better done over here in discussion. It is very, very close (sounds identical) to a derogatory term for people from Pakistan (often also applied to people of a certain skin hue). Not sure if that is British only (I'm an ex-pat Brit living in Canada, don't always remember where all my vocabulary comes from)
He sidles over to the clubs, grabs one, and then goes to the door and looks it over to see if he can figure anything our (2 lower if computers was appropriate check) He'll also try to see if he can identify anything about the dog people or, at least, try to get some clues on how to keep them calm, see whether they're sapient, etc. . Note that he is a Xenoseeker so, in theory, he does NOT take a penalty for rarity. Yeah, I know, identification may be impossible but I thought I'd at least point it out :-)
What the <deleted> is going on? Please, let this be some nightmare. Wake up! Wake up!!! Trellik quickly ducks behind the Vesk, looking around the room frantically for something that he could possibly use as a weapon.
He also holds his paws up in an attempt to show lack of hostility and mirrors Twitch
I don't like my Avatar either if it makes you feel any better :-)
Thoroughly alarmed, Trellik draws a pistol in one hand and a baton in the other, although he holds them both besides his body where hooefully they're not too obvious. "sticking together seems like a great idea. Lets all get our gear and then stay together in one of the cabins. Is everybody armed?"
I definitely assumed I have most of my stuff on me. Not all the clothing and tools, obviously.
This most certainly doesn't look good. But the best thing is likely to just appear to follow instructions for the moment. And take our own precuations Tellik drops to the ground. While he is hidden from sight, he quickly draws his pistol and puts it into his cheek pouch. In a whisper to his new companions
"I'm from Absalon Station. Family legend say originally from Golorion. Not know if that true or not. I also like to talk, not just think. Talking FUN!! Like hear sound of voice. But you can think if prefer. Ok too. Never been to Akiton. What you say different from what I've heard. Anybody want to play a game of logħba tal-poker? Like your poker, but better" |
