Vagoru Vyûn's page

Vagoru continues to bash at the tentacle in front of him.

Solar Weapon -4 full attack: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 6 - 4 = 11
Solar Weapon -4 full attack: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 4 = 16

Solar Weapon damage +1 photon mode: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7
Solar Weapon damage +1 photon mode: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11

Seeing Bronen get grappled by a tentacle, Vagoru runs towards Bronen, and swings at the tentacle.

Doshko: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Doshko Damage +1 Photon: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

Not wanting to enter the odd darkness, Vagoru continues to fire his cannon into the warehouse.

Laser Cannon, -4 full attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 3 - 4 = 19
Laser Cannon, -4 full attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 4 = 16

Laser Cannon, Damage 1 (crit) +1 photon mode x2: 2d10 + 2 ⇒ (5, 4) + 2 = 11
Laser Cannon, Damage 2 +1 photon mode: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Critical hit also causes 1d6 burn which happens on the creature's turn until he puts it out. Also just realized that photon mode applies to ranged weapons as well as melee.

"Take that, slimeball!"

If any of you guys are in Canada, Happy Thanksgiving!

Those of you in the US, Happy Columbus Day (or Happy "Guy Who Was Looking For China and Ended Up In Puerto Rico" Day).

"Let's try away from this building. We've already been in there."

Vagoru goes over to the strange pipe. He gently puts his hand on it, trying to see if he can tell if there is a flow moving throught the pipe, and if so which way the fluid inside is flowing.

"Maybe we can figure out which end of this thing is the source."

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Vagoru continues swinging his solar weapon, swinging twice.

Solar Weapon -4 full attack: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 6 - 4 = 14
Solar Weapon -4 full attack: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 4 = 21

Second one better be a hit or we are in trouble.
Solar Weapon Damage +1 Photon Mode: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11

Vagoru switches to his solar weapon, swinging twice.

Solar Weapon -4 full attack: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 4 = 3
Solar Weapon -4 full attack: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 4 = 13

Probably both misses, but just in case:
Solar Weapon Damage +1 Photon Mode: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

"This is taking too long," shouts Vagoru. He drops the laser cannon and steps down towards the creatures and swings his doshko.

I'm assuming I can climb down and close into melee. I will aim for whichever one looks more wounded.

Doshko: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Doshko Damage +1 photon: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Vagoru keeps firing his laser cannon.

I will aim for whichever one looks more wounded.

Laser Cannon -4 Full Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 4 = 16
Laser Cannon -4 Full Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 4 = 16
Laser Cannon Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 7
Laser Cannon Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 1

"Had to compensate for the weird angle, but I think I've got it now."

Vagoru continues his barrage of laser fire, though this time his shots go wide.

Laser Cannon -4 Full Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 4 = 6
Laser Cannon -4 Full Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 4 = 6

"Well, we'll just call that 'suppression fire.'"

Vagoru opens up with his laser cannon, firing at the closer of the two spacesuits.

Laser Cannon -4 Full Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 4 = 6
Laser Cannon -4 Full Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 4 = 16
Laser Cannon Damage +1 photon mode: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

"Hah! Take that!"

Are we in melee range? Or still using weapons at range?

Reflex 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16 okay
Reflex 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 okay
Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

"Dammit! I knew it!"

"Careful... they may have turned into fungus-men like those others on the shuttle."

Vagoru takes aim with his cannon, ready to fire if they turn out to be hostile.

Readied Action to fire.

"I'll cover you," says Vagoru, aiming his laser cannon.

1d100 ⇒ 72

"Coming..."

Vagoru moves toward the sound of Bronen's voice. If he can make out an enemy, he swings his Doshko.

Doshko: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Damage +1 photon: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15
Percentile: 1d100 ⇒ 71

Vagoru moves forward until he can make out an enemy. Then he swings his Doshko.

Doshko: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage +1 photon: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
Percentile: 1d100 ⇒ 71

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

"It grew back? That's bad news. And now we got this damn smoke again."

Vagoru shakes his head. "Wish I brought a flamer."

Vagoru puts his artillery laser away and creates his solar weapon. He takes a step inside.

FYI the solar weapon also produces light.

Assuming nothing attacks him, Vagoru will gradually work his way along the wall towards where the pipe comes in.

"Wait... if we blow the pipe, won't whatever's going through it just spew everywhere?"

"I could probably just cut the pipe if we want. Using this," Vagoru pats his laser cannon.

"Hey, what's this tube for? Some kind of pipe? Is this part of the station's equipment?"

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

"Close your helmet if you don't want to smell it," says Vagoru.

He looks at the crystal controls with confusion.

"Can any of you make out anything here? I got no idea how this works."

Vagoru raises his hand.

"Yeah, they say 'never volunteer.' But what do I know?"

Vagoru hefts his weapons and enters the strange ship. He keeps his armor sealed against atmosphere.

"Oho! Demolitions gear. Well, if we want to blow that spaceship to bits, we know what to use. If there is enough of it."

Looking at Vagoru, Kit asks, "Hey Vyun! Got any of that nasty zohaq stuff left?"

Vagoru silently pulls out a small flask. He takes a quick sip and then passes it to Kit.

"See anything?"

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

It then drives at Kit 1d20+4 hit ramming you for 3d8+5 of concussive damage

If it moved do we get an AoO?

IF YES: Solar Weapon AoO vs. KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Solar Weapon Damage +1 photon mode: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Vagoru swings wildly as the robot speeds away, but the robot is already out of his reach. He moves to chase it.

"Come back here!" he shouts. He swings at it with his doshko as soon as he is within reach.

Tactical Doshko vs. KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Doshko Damage +1 photon mode: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

Vagoru moves up to within 10' of the robot and then attacks with his Doshko.

Tactical Doshko vs. KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Tactical Doshko +1 photon mode: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11

"So the walls are giving off this crap?"

"Maybe we should take some samples and get them back to a lab. Then Doc here can look them over."

"We could build some kind of duct and connect it to this ship. The existing ventilation system has to have fans and such. Just make sure the bad air goes out into space and not somewhere else in the station."

"Perhaps we can gerry-rig some kind of set-up from the station air system, to purge the atmosphere from here."

"If we could vent it into space that would be ideal."

"Quit foolin' around," Vagoru grumbles.

He hefts his new gauss gun in one pair of hands and his tactical Doshko in the other two. He seals his armor against vacuum.

"Shall we have a look? I think this is what we came for."

Ready to go in.

For the record, the amount of time the armor can sustain you without recharging is a number of days equal to the level of the armor. For example, Vagoru's defiance armor is level 3, so he can go 3 days until the armor's systems need to be recharged.

"Looks like this is our intruder." Vagoru says.

He looks at it for several moments.

"But how do we get rid of it? I don't think we have enough demolition materials to get rid of it, and even if we did, blowing it would damage the station, possibly very badly."

"AI, is this area supposed to be dark? Can we get some light in here?"

What is causing the "greyness"? Is it some kind of fog? Or is it the containment field itself?

The AI says, "I do not know that answer, that is a reason why I requested you investigate the object in the dome."

Vagoru covers his face with his palm.

"AI, I thought you knew where this object was? Is it in this sector or not?"

Vagoru addresses the computer. "A.I.: Did the object that penetrated the hull come in contact with the rainforest biome? That biome seems to be contaminated."

Vagoru looks over the giant mushrooms behind the barrier.

"Very vigorous lifeforms, to have taken over the biome so swiftly. I wonder if the object that crashed into the station was another race's version of a terraforming ship? Designed to convert the local environment to an ecosystem that mimics their home planet? "

"...when soace isn't at a premium."

"What kind of sauce would you use for these though?" :)

"Are we going to have to comb these forests for contagion and enemies? The things from the bridge of the other shuttle seemed to be plant-based. Or Fungus-based. Maybe they came from around here?"

Vagoru keeps a strict lookout.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Actually, I was going to suggest not docking... leaving our ship nearby on autopilot and then spacewalking from the ship to an airlock. Armor also acts as a spacesuit.

"Well, that was close. Anyone know what the hell that was? And if it is connected to what happened to the station? Or if not, how is it that the station hasn't gotten roasted yet?"

Some positions can be doubled up.

That does depend on whether the ship is a shuttle or a light freighter. A shuttle has a maximum of 4 crew. So with a pilot, engineer, captain, and science officer, nobody else can contribute. If it is a light freighter though then the maximum crew is six.

We never did get stats for the ship.

If Khall wants to be pilot let me know and next time we're on board Kit will help Bro as a second engineer. She's best there anyway.

Khall is also the best computers guy with +9.

"Khall! Get on that sensors terminal!"

Captain checks are basically Aid Another checks. Do I need to choose a specific other check to help?

I'm guessing our wimpy little shuttle is a tier 1 ship, which would make the DC of a Demand action DC 16, or an Encourage action would be DC 15.

I would probably go with Demand since my intimidate and Diplomacy are both +7. I'll do one for each station.

"Pilot! Get this ship under control, before I bite your ears off!"

Demand -> Pilot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

"Engineering! We need more power! Do it fast or we'll all be sucking vacuum!"

Demand -> Engineer: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

"Navigation! Find us a route out of this mess before we all fry!"

Demand -> Science Officer: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Looks like three successes, so the Pilot gets a +4 to his first check, the engineer gets a +4 to his second check, and the Science officer gets a +4 to his third check.

I suppose Vagoru is good at yelling at people. He can be the "Senior Shouting Officer." :)

Actually, though it's hard to tell from her sheet, it looks like Khall has a +10 in piloting which would make her the best pilot I think. Operatives get so many skills that generally they are good at most things.

Vagoru would be a gunner if the ship has weapons.

"Hang on! Get back on board as soon as you can!"

Vagoru straps himself in and waits to ride the storm out.

ok but the medical expert feat changes things.

Yes, I know that. The Feat allows you to use a medpatch in a way it was not designed for.

But note this line from the feat description:

When used in this way, the medpatch or sprayflesh does not perform any of its normal functions.

So if you use a medpatch to treat deadly wounds, it does not grant any bonus at all. The reason you would do it this way is because you didn't have a medkit handy.

also the medpatch grants +10 if untrained but +0 if trained? so untrained with med patch has a better chance than trained with a med patch? (I am trained with only a +7)

The medpatch does not allow trained checks to be made at all; it simply allows untrained checks to be made - with a decent bonus. If you are trained, you don't need a medpatch to do what the medpatch normally does.

The Medical Expert feat is actually pretty lame. I looked into the idea of building a character around it a while ago and ended up discarding the idea. You would normally take the feat if you expected to be in circumstances where you need to use medicine skill and don't have the proper equipment. If you actually have the proper equipment, the feat really doesn't help you much. I would normally say Skill Focus: Medicine would be a lot more useful, though it doesn't stack with Channel Skill.

Who is our pilot? I know it's not me.

"Before we all get some sleep, let us detach the ship from the station. I don't want one of those things trying to force it's way in here while we sleep. Once we're away we can take up orbit around the planet and then dock again when we want to board the station."

"After we separate, we should also do a sweep of the ship to make sure nothing got on board."
