Looks Good!

Thanks for running the scenario Valen!

Frustrated from his early firing of the previous missle. Ukigashk waits to be sure the missile locks and then fires.

Missle+Trinode: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 15
Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 4, 3, 8) = 20

Missiles Remaining: 1

Somehow missed Round 4 starting yesterday, sorry about that.

Ukigashk encouraged by the success with the Missles thus far, locks another up and fires. At least he thought it was locked when he it the fire key.

Missle+Trinode: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 11

Missles Remaining: 2

based on Iseph's move add a -4 to the missile shot (still hits). Ukigashk is adding the turret coilgun to his attack.

Ukigashk recognizes Iseph's intention and quickly access the firing controls for the Coilgun on the turret. In his haste he nearly issues a re-target command for the Missile, and his snap shot from the coilgun slams into the asteroid behind Lawblight sending pebbles flying from the surface.

Turret Coilgun+Trinode-Double: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 7
Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 4) = 13

Would have been an epic damage round if that had it :(

Ukigashk checks the lock status and releases another missile.

Missle+Trinode: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 23
Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 3, 6) = 20

Missles remaining: 3

Ukigashk locks up the pirate ship and fires a missle.

Missle + Trinode: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 15
damage: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 4) = 19

Does the Oddessy have an ammunition limit on the Missles? I may be confusing this with another scenario.

Mk1 trinode - 3 floating +1

Ukigashk brings up the control system for the missle launcher and starts tracking the Lawblight. He loses the ability to lock on to the other ship when Iseph interposes an asteroid between the two vessels.

Weapons mount coordination?

Ukigashk can take care of whatever weapon, just let me know preferences.

Ukigashk leans back in his chair from his console and sighs in relief.

"Good shooting there Buse! Amosu, let me know if there are any repairs I can assist with on the way to headquarters."

Round 7:

Ukigashk looks at the sensor ghosts and struggles to see any valuable data.

"Keep firing Dr. Buse, keep firing! Honor the ancestors, and your lineage!"

Turret Coilgun: 1d20 + 1 + 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 2 - 2 + 1 = 13 including glitch modifier and +1 bonus
Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 1) = 11

round 6:

As alarms ring out around the bridge Ukigashk slowly shakes his head. "We'd better disable that ship quickly," he growls, "or we're swimming home!"

Turret Coilgun: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 2 = 18 Leaving the +1s for others
Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 1) = 6

Just curious, since we are on the verge of death... this is my first character in that position.

This is seeming to be complicated by the fact that it's a playtest character with the Chronicle going to another character.

IF we end up dead... what/how does that get resolved.

My apologies for not knowing, I have only built 3 characters and only have a whopping 4 adventures under my belt.

Holy cats are we outclassed here

Round 4
Turret Coilgun: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 19 no sense leaving floating +1s on the table
Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 1) = 6

Round 5 If we're still alive
Turret Coilgun: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 2 = 14 Leaving +1 for others
Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 2) = 9

Ukigashk allows him self a short grunt of pleasure as the projectile from the coil gun passes through the shield and a gap in the ships hull to strike deep in the ship's internal systems.

He then sets about setting up his next shot.

T. Coilgun: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 2 = 19
Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 1) = 6

I can stick with the turret, that's fine. I was just trying to not to be greedy on the "usefulness" to this part of the scenario that is all. Trying to play fair.

Turret Coilgun: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 2 = 22 base+bab+dex
Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 2) = 9

Saved the other +1 in case our SO/ENG needed it

Dr. Buse do you want to swap the turret for the per arc lasers? Longer range = less chance of range modifiers causing misses.

Sorry about missing the whole weekend, had a VERY busy Saturday and health issues Sunday that made screen time unbearable.

Turret Coilgun: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 = 20 base + dex+ Ship comp bonus, please correct me if I am wrong on that.
damage: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 1) = 9

Ukigashk's scaled hands seem to massage the controls of his gunners station, the turret swings into alignment and the coilgun fires, the round slamming into the Eoxian ship. it's hit even without the comp bonus, yay us!

Ukigashk grunts, "Yet more undead, they damage my calm."

Ukigashk notes the look of amusement in Iseph's eyes when he asks about the pilot seat. He nods to Iseph, and moves over to the main gunner station. He sets about familiarizing himself with the ship's weaponry.

So I've been trying to work out which pre-gen I wanted to play and took a look at all your character sheets. I've come to the conclusion that we are screwed.

Dr Buse: Gunnery +0
Ukigashk Gunnery +3, Piloting +2
AMOSU: Computer +9, Engineering +9, Gunnery +2, Piloting +8
Iseph: Computer +6, Engineering +6, Gunnery +5, Piloting +10

I think that Piloting is very important; we can go without a captain
I suggest
Captain: None
Gunner 1: Ukigashk
Gunner 2: Dr Buse
Pilot: Iseph
Engineer/SO: AMOSU

I can work with that. I didn't really investigate the Character sheets that in depth before I had Ukigashk suggest he should be the pilot, so we can have an "hours of seat time" discussion or something in the game thread and Ukigashk will move to gunnery.

I will hold my designated character free from any entanglements if we want to recruit.

Have your chapter on Starships from the CRB handy. The good news is Valen isn't trying to "accelerate" the combat so we won't need to post multiple possible actions at a time - that speeds up the combat, but it gets confusing. I'm sure Valen will assist us through the process. If you have questions ask. This will be my 4th or 5th starship combat via PbP and I am still not sure I understand it all.

Ukigashk simply nods to the Venture-Captain and heads for the Loreseeker.

As they enter the bridge he turns to them, "Friends, unless there are any objections I am trained to pilot and I am most comfortable in that role."

Hmm, that just means I'll need to spin up a new character so I can keep the one I was going to apply this chronicle to in hiatus.

[sarcasm]Oh such difficulty![/sarcasm]

Definitely let me know when you're running the next quest. Ukigashk (or the actual character) will be ready :)

It was fun! Thanks for running it GM Valen!

Ukigashk looks over the carcass of the skreebara and decides that harvesting the crystals would be of some use.

Life Science: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

SP: 0/11
HP: 10/14
RP: 3/4

Well in this part of the scenario, the dice made Ukigashk a little less useful.

Ukigashk snarls and shakes his head as the sonic onslaught washes over (and through) him.

He focuses his energies once again and attacks. Again his swing hits a full crystallized plate and deflects. He winces in pain as the vibrations rattle through is arm.

Entropic Strike: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 opting for the flank bonus to be gone, if you think it applies GM, adjust as needed
Damage: 1d3 + 1d3 ⇒ (1) + (1) = 2

EAC: 16
KAC: 17

SP: 0/11

You're the GM, you've done more of these than I have. I was looking at the templates differently, but I can see your interpretation as well.

Not trying to be a rules lawyer or anything, especially since I don't know all the rules well enough to even do what I need to do most of the time. :)

Quick question, a line of damage would indicate an x number of feet in a single direction. Thus only one, maybe two of us take hits. Does the skreebara do sonic damage in a line or a cone?

I don't mind being the target, I am just not sure due to our positioning that the attack emanating in a line from the skreebara would hit all three of us. Even if it is 10 feet wide.

Just interested in how this wide of an arc is included.

Thanks!

Ukigashk grunts as the Skrebarra lands a bit. Drawing on his connection with Entropy he toughens his scales (+1AC). He manages to pull his shield into play and align it with the Skreebara (+1AC - Move action). He then focuses his power to his sword once more and swings. His sword catches one of the crystalline plates of the creature and is deflected.

The sword ringing from the deflection, he yells,"Gah, this is the mother of all sandworms taking revenge for being connected with that slimy Jazulkama! Hit it harder, friends!"

Entropic Strike: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 2 = 14 skreebara is flanked by the Dr.
Damage: 1d3 + 1d3 ⇒ (3) + (2) = 5

EAC: 16
KAC: 17

SP: 6/11
HP: 14/14
RP: 3/4

Ukigashk growls loudly, "Watch yourselves!"

He then draws his sword at swings at the Skreebara, the blade emitting it's eerie black glow as it swings. The swing misses as the creature repositions from it's lunge at Pangea.

Entropic Strike: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7 Skreebara Flanked, but still missed :(

Sorry, I missed the new action required posts.

Ukigashk pauses and rests with AMOSU. He doesn't really need it, but he takes the time meditate and reflect on the ever moving sand and dunes.

As the group starts to move again, something puts Ukigashk on edge. He can't see or hear what would be causing his unease. But he is sure there is definitely something more sinister happening than just shifting sand on dunes.

He grumbles, "I have a bad feeling about this place."

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

His Spidey sense is tingling :)

Reflex / DC12: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Reflex / DC12: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Reflex / DC12: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Fortitude / DC10: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Ukigashk dodges most of the falling crystals, but trips slightly and a few manage to hit him. The crystals burn slightly where they manage to slash him, but no worse than the mid-range toxins of some of the creatures he hunted as a youth.

SP:9/11

Survival: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Ukigashk chafes at the dry desert heat as he moves along toward the crash site.

Looks like it is up to our Android companion to make the Computers skill check :)

Is it just me, or is there very little use to the Entropic Pool for the Vanguard at L1. The AC bonus is nice, but as the points build, there isn't much to do with them.

Or am I missing something?

"D'Gavin, I have this pile of bones handled, back up the rest of the crew!"

As he begins speaking Ukigashk's sword, starts to emit it's eerie black glow, and he slashes the reanimated skeleton facing him.

Entropic Strike: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

SP: 2/11
HP: 14/14

Entropic Pool: 2

EAC: 15
KAC: 16

Ukigashk doesn't quite get his shield around in time to deflect the onrushing skeleton. He winces slightly as the swipe of a clawed hand connects. Focusing his connection to entropy in his sword he strikes at the animated pile of bones in front of him.

Despite the lack of flesh, the slash connects with the skeleton. He then gets his shield around and ready in defense against his bony assailant.

Entropic Strike: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

SP: 7/11
HP: 14/14

Entropic Pool: 1

EAC: 15
KAC: 16

Ukigashk responds over his comm unit as he moves forward.

"These corridors are too confining for effective combat if we are all together, suggest three at most in each group."

Low-light vision, would that extend the view range in this situation or just darkvision?

Ukigashk unlimbers his shield and draws his sword in preparation for battle with the undead.

Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Gah, the worst possible initiative roll. The cold must be getting to Ukigashk.

Valen, et al.

Life and family are more important, we'll get through what we get through for the next week or so.

Enjoy the holiday time, and if you celebrate Christmas, have a Merry one!

LOL, OZ moment!

Ukigashk flanks the prone ghoul, points his ominously glowing sword at her and growls, "Surrender or dismemberment?"

Ready action Entropic Strike, if she makes a threatening move he strikes.

Ukigashk once again strikes at the brightly dressed thug (yellow) with his sword. As he delivers his blow the blade has a strange dark glow once again.

Entropic Strike vs. EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Damage (A&B): 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Blue line indicates line of travel

Ukigashk sees Dr. Buse dealing with two assailants and moves to assist, hoping to split the attention of the thugs.

As he moves in he sets his shield for the thug that is oddly dressed in bright yellow, and strikes with his sword again. His sword takes on a strange glow as the strike is delivered and this time he finds a weak point the thugs armor.

Entropic Strike vs. EAC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Damage: Acid and Blugeon: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Waiting for Dr. Buse to "tell" Ukigashk where the bad guys are.

Ukigashk moves forward along side D'Gavin, and lunges with his longsword. His attack deflected by the hired thugs armor.

Longsword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Following the lunge he adjusts his stance to bring his shield to bear against the thug dressed in green.

As they approach the garden Ukigashk pulls his shield from his back and slips his left arm into the straps. He then carefully draws his sword and carefully moves through a very short warm up.

As large he is, he doesn't try sneaking around, but moves as carefully as he can on the approach. The structure of the station isn't that different from the ships he's lived on, but it is quite a change from the forests of Vesk-3 where he first learned to hunt. At least here he doesn't yet have a Skittermander trying to help him hunt prey.
