Valas Millithor's page

Thank you everyone for an enjoyable game! I rarely see play by post games on time, so if you're ever looking for an extra player, please keep me in mind!

Over the next few days, Valas helps out with the exhibit as much as he can. He will describe the missing artifacts as best as he can remember, in the hopes that someone will know more about the possible item that was causing the headaches.

Before he leaves Castrovel, he will try to find buyers for the weapons the group acquired during their mission, making sure to give his team mates a fair share of the profit.

Profession Arms Dealer: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Profession reroll with 3 nova bonus: 1d20 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 3 = 17

Wow. Apparently the people of Castrovel don't always trust a drow selling weapons....

Valas will give Odesse his contact information, and ask her to look him up if she's ever on Absalom Station.

On the starflight back, Valas will again make time to talk to each of his companions, in the hopes that they will work together again on some future mission.

"Artaius, what you just said is exactly why we will beat the Organization. Starfinders look after each other. Even if they think they've won, they have members who have taken on their last mission today. The Organization doesn't care how many members it loses, they are only looking for a win. You can't run a business like that. They are already defeated - they just don't know it yet."

Radaszam pauses, looking at Valas. "I noticed you talking to Odesse earlier. Did you notice anything strange about her exhibit?"

"Yes. Some of the objects in the exhibit caused headaches and possibly other maladies. I was near it for just a few minutes, and I started to feel the effects."

"Hopefully the security footage will provide more information. Clearly you there's something more going on here."

"All of the Ulumbian artifacts are missing. That must be significant. Does anyone know why?"

Culture: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

To Omen, "What do you mean, you won?"

If no one rolls well on this the perception check, I would like to use my reroll on it.

Valas attempts to stabilize Omen, only to find that she is in no immediate danger of dying.

Valas then searches the opposition for any clues, and makes sure to take all weapons from the enemies. Next he looks for something to tie up Omen with.

Valas moves to hopefully get a clear shot on Purple.

Trick Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 vs a DC of 20 + target's CR
Static Arc Pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11
Static Arc Pistol damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 plus trick attack of 1d4 ⇒ 2

Flat-footed? Maybe still a hit vs EAC?

"Be smart. Omen was tougher than you - that's why she was your leader. If we can defeat her, we can defeat you. Drop your weapons. The next person who breaks an artifact is going to get shot! If you all surrender, we can still save Omen's life."

If the other opponents surrender, Valas will move to bind Omen's wounds.

Medicine check to bind Omen's wounds, if needed: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Made it back from vacation - I can access the map now. Thanks everyone for your help!

Valas moves to get a clear shot and fires at Omen.

Trick Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24 vs a DC of 20 + target's CR
Static Arc Pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 = 19
Static Arc Pistol damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 plus trick attack of 1d4 ⇒ 1

"Just remember that you can choose to surrender at any time. You don't want the 'Legend of Omen' to end with '...and then she died because she wasn't smart enough to surrender to the Starfinders.'

Valas shakes his head sadly. "Yep, just as dumb as the last group."

GM, is that offer of using your reroll still available? If so, can Phelps use it if he fails his save?

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Valas is also keeping an eye on Phelps as the explosion occurs.

Staggering out of the blast, Valas tries to make himself look as uninjured as possible.

"You know, the last group we ran into didn't know when to quit. Hopefully you'll be smarter. Drop your weapons, now, and we'll put in a good word for you once the authorities arrive. If you choose to engage us, we make no promises."

Valas reloads his Static Arc Pistol and then says "Ready."

Sorry, I still can't see the tokens on the map with my phone. At least the Wi-Fi here works!

Valas will wait for Soarin to use get em, then fire on that target. If that doesn't happen, Valas will fire at Red to concentrate damage. Either way he will move to get a clear shot if he can do so without provoking. If there is an opponent next to Valas he will use his knife instead.

Ranged Attack:
Trick Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21 vs a DC of 20 + target's CR
Static Arc Pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Static Arc Pistol damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 plus trick attack of 1d4 ⇒ 3

Valas nods at Soarin in thanks. He flips his knife out of its sheath, catches it, then takes a stab at Green.

"You guys didn't really think this through, did you? If you're going to continue to shoot at us, can you at least not come so close to hitting the artifacts behind us?"

Melee Attack:
Trick Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26 vs a DC of 20 + target's CR
Survival Knife vs KAC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
Survival Knife damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1 plus trick attack of 1d4 ⇒ 4

"Drop your weapons and surrender."

Valas takes a full round action to trick attack the closest opponent.

Looking as if he was just waiting on Radaszam to give the order, Valas draws his Static Arc Pistol and fires.

The map is not working on my phone, so Valas will move if he needs to get a clear shot. GM, please move Valas if he needs to move.

Trick Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 vs a DC of 20 + target's CR
Static Arc Pistol vs EAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Static Arc Pistol damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 plus trick attack of 1d4 ⇒ 2

Hmm, maybe that will hit his flat footed EAC?

"Clearly everyone makes mistakes, but that should not prevent someone from learning about history and culture!"

Diplomacy aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Valas smiles and says, "Tell me about this tree and why you are banned."

If Minquali seems like he is being honest, Valas will agree to help hide him.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Stealth roll if needed: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Thank you!

After the adventure, can you post a link to the errata please? I'm running this scenario in July.

Valas will sneak after Minquali, to get a better idea of what's going on.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

I think your 20 is a success Phelps. Do we need more successes after Artalus' re-roll?

Catch those kids!

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Valas walks over to Odesse. Turning to the halfling, he says "If you wish to provide the lady with constructive criticism, as any good, more experienced academic should, she will be accepting your regards at another time - possibly tomorrow. She has had a long day, and perhaps you have as well. In fact, to really help with the display, you should return to your room and write down all your ideas immediately, so you don't forget anything."

Valas then faces Odesse and says, "My lady, May I escort you to your quarters? You should rest and recover."

Valas will look at the halfling closely to determine if he's drunk, or if he's under the influence of the artifacts that are giving people headaches.

"I think some of these artifacts have a malignant aura. If you can, please keep some distance from them while we examine them further."

After making sure Odesse is safely away, Valas will return to the team.

"Are any of you skilled at identifying magical auras? Those artifacts over there were causing headaches in one of the guests. When I got close, I started getting a headache as well. Could one of you examine them further - from a distance?"

Valas will point out the artifacts that he believes are responsible, but he will also keep his distance from them.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Valas attempts to figure out what's troubling Odesse.

Medicine: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

"I think those headaches may be catching. Can you tell me more about it? Do you remember anything specific that was happening when the headaches started?"

Valas casually walks over to Odesse Nis, hoping that his garb of elven nobility will make a positive impression.

He attempts to assess her current health.
Medicine: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

"Hello! I am Valas, and I was admiring your displays on aquatic cultures. It makes me want to take a trip beneath the waves some time. What can you tell me about your discoveries?"

Valas hits the pool, the exercise room, the restaurant, the bar, and any other place he can find time to visit. He enjoys every minute of whatever activity he's at, and talks to whoever is there. He tells stories about starship battles against the jinsul, and the many Starfinders who were imprisoned there. He orders more drinks than he can enjoy himself, and passes them out to his new friends (which is anyone willing to listen to his stories).

For the gala, Valas dresses in the garb of a Castrovelian elven noble. Some may question why a drow would dress as a noble surface elf, but Valas attempts to pull this off without offending anyone.

"For choice of location, I think we should go with the most secure location, even if it's in an out-of-the-way area. As we discussed earlier, trouble seems to follow wherever Starfinders tread. "

Culture it is!

Culture to aid: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

"I was part of the expedition to rescue Starfinders from a system that was shielded from entry. During the rescue operation the team was repeatedly attacked by a then-unknown race called the jinsul. Despite our numerous attempts to negotiate with the jinsul, they had no interest in talking. I thought that if we understood the way the jinsul think, we might not have to be enemies. I gathered several artifacts before we left the system. Hopefully our archeological experts can learn about jinsul culture from studying these artifacts."

Perceptuon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Name that movie. I blame this post on the fact I was watching this movie last night. lol

Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Culture: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Valas walks around the Life within the Gap exhibit, pressing the buttons and learning what he can about the history of this time.

Valas faces the vesk with a relaxed posture indicating that they have always been friends.

"What can you tell us about these exhibis?

Valas steps forward and puts on his best used starship salesman smile. To the vesk he says, "We are Starfinders, and we're here to check out these displays. You look like someone in charge - of security perhaps? Off the record, we're no strangers to trouble, so if you need any assistance while we're here, feel free to call on us."

Valas steps aside so the vesk can see Artaius, who is much more imposing than Valas.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Culture: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Valas will share the information he knows with the group.

"So you were attacked, what, just after breakfast? See what I mean? Trouble follows Starfinders - it's not just me!"

"I would keep your armor, Artalus, unless we're told specifically to leave it. I would rather people be a little uneasy than lose a team member. Trouble seems to follow me, so I'd be surprised if something doesn't happen. When it does, we all need to be at our best."

"Yes, what exactly is our objective here? I know you said to meet Zovi, but what is our mission here?"

Do you think he'll let you fly? Momo looks at the elf incredulously.

"He should, I'm a decent pilot. Besides, everyone needs a break sometimes, and Radaszam can't be everywhere on this ship all at once!

During the multiple days of the trip, Valas makes time for each of his team mates, and tries to learn about them. He sits down with Soarin and talks about engineering, and asks to check out his diasporan rifle. When he sees Momo walking with an uncertain gait, he offers his arm to steady her and walks with her through the ship. He chats with Phelps about all kinds of tech, and swaps science officer stories with the pahtra. He relaxes with Kezzo and talks about all the crazy parties he's been to (some of which may or may not be an exaggeration). He sits with Atraius and asks questions about Castrovel. Valas is always friendly in his conversations, but never pushy. If he senses a companion does not welcome his conversations, he immediately backs off, but will greet them with a smile at a later time.

Throughout the trip, Valas seems to be fully enjoying the hot tub, pool, and flight simulator. He never refuses one of Radazam's competitions. Valas will also take a turn at piloting if permitted. Wherever he's at, Valas is enjoying life to the fullest.

Valas smiles at Momo and replies, "I collect and repair technology of all types, but I specifically appreciate computers and weapons... and ammunition... and weapon accessories... and weapon fusions. Having the right tech makes it more probable that all agents make it back from a mission. That's my focus - make sure we get our job done, and that we all make it home afterwards."

I will be out of the United States from June 10 - June 17. The hotel says they have wi-fi, so I should still be able to post during that time. However there is certainly the chance that I will not be able to post during that week. I just wanted to give the GM and the players this heads up. GM Hmm, if you would rather, I could drop out and let another player sign up for this event. I would definitely still like to play, but I understand if this is something that you don't want to deal with. Please let me know your thoughts.

As Tarrakk leaves the room, a male drow enters. Those of you who are perceptive might see Tarrakk glare at the drow as the half-orc leaves. The drow also notices, then offers to shake Tarrakk's hand. Tarrakk looks at the drow's hand, frowns, and continues out of the room.

The drow looks a bit surprised, but shrugs his shoulders and enters the room smiling.

"Greeting everyone. I am Valas Millithor, and it looks like I will be accompanying you on your mission."

Valas is a professionally dressed drow corporate agent who works for Millithor Arms Incorportated. He is generally relaxed and smiling, even in stressful situations. He wears dark freebooter armor and carries a static arc pistol in a holster at his waist. Several tool kits are worn at his belt as well.

"Sorry I'm late. Did I miss anything? Who are we dancing with?

Thank you!

Thank you again! If we choose the Rescued Starfinder boon, do we get a total of 2160 credits for the character, or is that in addition to the 1000 credits a character normally starts with?

Thank you for an enjoyable game everyone!
