Do we need to do a roll for a boon as well?

Thank you for running! And thank you all for playing as well :)

Valgard pulls out the datapad and hands it to Murco.

Two Move Actions

Sorry to hear that Ed

Any special abilities? And special attacks?

Valgard looks at the Hologram.

Engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31

He also unloads a full round magic missiles at it, cos Force Damage.
Magic Missiles: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) + 3 = 11

Valgard will walk in the air, just above the ground behind Rakisan also with an Engineering Toolkit.

"Great work team, awesome job, I'm pleased we don't have to fight our own too! Now let's get out of here before they realise and come back."

Valgard will also do a perception check.

Perception with Scanner: 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 14 + 4 = 37

Valgard stand by as well.

Yeah I would have sat down for 10mins before this point to regain my stamina

Right, so we activated the distress call to get here, now we have to work out how to get back?

Can I do an Engineering check on the drone to try and open the portal we came through again?

Engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Uh-oh, nerds weren't built for this

Not all the fire goes through.

Valgard thanks Uko, and heads into the hallway to look around.

I only made Murco invisible.

Perception check (I still have See Invisibility, and a +4 if you let me get out a scanning kit, but I'm fine if you rule either way): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

Do we all need to do a check? I think so.

Does Killik share what he knows about the creature?

If not, Life Science Check:
Life Science: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
-5 DC for Xenobiology

Valgard gets his computer out, and then uses Augmented Reality to show the Philosopher Worm his library, filled with actual books that he has accumulated from around the galaxy and the computer system that orders everything so he know exactly where everything is, to make sense of the chaos of the large room.

Computers: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37

"Oh great Philosopher Worm, we are explorers, intrepid in our pursuit of knowledge and understanding of the worlds we visit, and the galaxy as a whole." Valgard says telepathically.

"I have made it my life's work to collect books and artefacts from around the galaxy to help me make sense of the chaos around us, and spend my time within the Pact Worlds to understand our own planets and how they have shaped who we are today.", Valgard continues.

"Is this what you require from us oh Great One?"

"Knowledge you say, I'm totally there!" Valgard says, nerding out a bit and examining the walls

Not sure how much I can help with the intricacies of the Universe but I'm more than happy to help if I can (and look at these walls)

@Eddie, sure, once we get in there officially of course

"Excellent, now how do we open this Steel Hatch?" Valgard looks at his colleagues before pulling a wrench

Engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

Not sure that'll do it

Once it is open, then the following happens:
"Well then, let's make him invisible and get him going!" says Valgard, looking at Murco and touching him on the head.

"Ok, guys, I trust you to go first with this, I can give someone with good Stealth Invisibility for 9mins to scout."

Valgard also casts See Invisibility on himself for 90mins.

Wait so we have to go into the Prison no matter what?

Before we go, I want to turn the Magnet back on, otherwise junk will pile up and it's easy to see someone went through here.

Culture: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

"I agree with kAPP, this is not a place to make noise and ruckus. We might be hiding people we don't want to know the presence of, and there are Elite Starfinders here, so we best leave them to their jobs."

"Let us make for the Maintenance Tunnels!"

Valgard also rests for 10minutes as well.

What mark are the healing serums sorry?

Valgard presses the button to stop the magnet, or at least pause it
If possible

And opens Chute IV and drops the ladder
I think that's where we need to go

Valgard will try and hack this computer again.

Computers with aid from Murco: 1d20 + 23 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 23 + 2 = 27

Are we still in combat?

Valgard touches himself, and vanishes from existence
Invisibility as a Standard for 9minutes

Then he walks down to be by the computer, and tells his Allies where he is.

"I'm going to try and deal with this computer!"

Valgard pulls out a used battery, and throws it with all his might at the square indicated.

Move Action - Pull out Battery
Standard Action - Explosive Blast

Explosive Blast - DC 20 Reflex for half: 9d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 3, 5, 4, 1, 5, 5) = 34

Reflex Save for Blue and Purple.

Well f&$% that's a big rat.

GUYS! Huge rat over here!

As a move action I spend a resolve point to Flash Teleport 30ft away as grapple doesn't prevent spells, which also doesn't provoke.
Flash Teleport

And then as a standard I cast Slow targeting the Huge Rat, the Red and the Blue rats. They are all just within range of the spell and each other.
DC20 Will Save for all 3 please.

"Alright computer, I see how it is." Valgard says, gritting his teeth.

Computers vs a Stubborn Computer: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (10) + 23 = 33

Yep, this computer is way too difficult for little old me

Valgard then steps away using his Force Soles so he doesn't become attached to the magnet.

kAPP is grappled by Green Rat!

Valgard sets to work quick booting the computer.

Computers check to quick boot: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37

Also going to try a Mysticism check to see what they are:
Mysticism vs Rats: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26

Any DR/Resistances please

I'm on the floor next to the computer terminal

Valgard surveys the scene, and tries a Life Science check to remember what he can about these rats.

Life Science for the Rats: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25
Extra -5 DC if you class them as "Xenobiology" due to my Scholar Theme.

Valgard uses his Force Soles to walk down as a double move and end up standing next to the computer terminal to get a better look at it.

"Guys, I'm going to try and turn that magnet off. Also, be very careful, I can feel the pull even from here, it's a very strong magnet!" Valgard telepaths, and with that he walks through the air, staying well away from the magnet.

I'm 5ft away under the ceiling, and using Force Soles to walk around the magnet with a double move. I've lined in Cyan where I'm going.

Ok, I understand this, we are in Waste Chute 2, we need to get to Waste Chute 4, so I think I need to go to the console to work out which one is Chute 4?

Valgard also casts "See with Eyes" aka Perception (Darkvision 60ft),
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

And because Valgard has Force Soles, he will gently take a couple of steps out into the thin air below the chute.

Also, we should avoid that big crucible of Plasma I think... Valgard telepaths to his fellow Starfinders

"Let me take a look" says Valgard, examining the pneumatic tube.

"Time to activate the environmental protections chaps, gonna get smelly!"

Engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25

Valgard steps out and looks around, it all looks so normal. But he glances around just to make sure they weren't followed or being watched.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

He turns to the others, "I suggest we split up, but not stray too far, keep in vision at all times, just separate, go in 2's and 1's until we reach our destination, looks less suspicious that way. And try to act normal!"

He turns towards Rakisan, "Want to walk with me buddy?"

"Pilot, I believe we need to stop by Akiton first for supplies if you wouldn't mind" Valgard yells up the front, at whoever got into the Pilot chair.

I also just realised I need to buy a Merciful Fusion, and a few grenades.

I don't need anywhere

Valgard boots up the computer to see what he's working with.

Computers: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (17) + 23 = 40

"Well let's not waste any time!" Says Valgard, walking into the ship and going to the Science Officer seat.

"Ah, a physical map, just my style. I do like Royo, I'll send him my regards when this is over." Valgard said nodding approvingly.

"Well let's go, the existence of the Starfinder Society is at stake!" Valgard turns to his fellow companions, and then turns back to Luwazi and Celita, "So, how do we get back?"

Valgard holds a hand formed as fist over his chest as he sees his Faction Leader Celita walks down the ramp. "Ma'am, thank you for entrusting me with yours (and the Starfinder Society's) safety again, I won't let you down."

He turns to Luwazi, "First Seeker, do we know the identity of the attacker? And I'm guessing that Invisibility spells will help but they have better defences than that I assume?"

He shakes his head, before speaking to the group, "I know it's not going to be easy to fire upon our fellow Starfinders, but we must do so non-lethally and as quickly as possible for the good of the Society, no-one can know of our presence."

And with that, he takes the Datapad, and accesses it to see what he can find.

"Ah wait a minute, this is more Geological than Engineering. Let me pull out the other manual"

Physical Science: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37
Am I allowed to use a Library Chip for a +4? If so, add +4 to the result please.

"I'm up for 4D Chess, let me just examine this Device!"

Valgard looks at the device, Engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33

"Patience? FSLE? Must be First Seeker Luwazi Elsebo. I guess we just stick around until something comes up?" Valgard says, looking back at the device.

"Or, we can try and fix this thing?"

Valgard accepts the No stoically, then participates in the exercises at the urge of Killk, and feels better for it.

He gets up as the ship touches down, and is about to fly after the booklet when he sees Murco going after it.

He follows kAPP's lead, pulls out a scanning kit and tries to find anything else that might be of use.

Perception (also with +4 Scanning Kit if possible): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

Valgard greets the newcomers, "Nice to meet all of you, my name is Valgard, and I'm the techie on this mission. My job is make sure all the Computers work properly, and make them work if they don't. Also I'm very interested in Science, so happy to discuss both aspects of Life or Physical with you all." and he goes off to read his physical book in the corner.

He joins in for Acrobatic activities, but stays out of Athletic ones, they aren't for nerds like him. Better for Rakisan, he's built for it.

Also Culture if relevant: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

"Rakisan! Buddy! Boy am I glad they got you on this mission, makes me feel safer already. Here, as we're going to be on this ship a couple of days, let me cast Life Bubble on you all, never can be too careful I've found!" Valgard follows this with some laughter, pointing to his wings as he says this.

"Liavara hey, haven't been there in a while, say, Thresker, can you give us any info on this mission please?" Valgard asks over a comm unit.

While waiting for a reply, Valgard banters with Rakisan about previous missions.

Perception to see anything out of the ordinary

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

"Good day, I presume you are Thresker?, I am supposed to report to you for a geological mission? Do I just get on the ship?" the crisp, slightly nerdy tones of Valgard state as he approaches the Reliable.

Ah thanks and yeah wasn't sure :) so I will keep OOC chat here no worries

A quiet Damaya Lashunta man sits in the corner of a Library in the Lorespire Complex, reading a rare physical book when his comm-link beeps.

Adjusting his glasses, he puts a bookmark in the book and stows it away, looks to the datapad and says to himself "Well, no rest for the wicked, let's see what they have in store this time." and he gets up and starts heading that way.

Not sure how you want to rule it, but as my Life Bubble lasts for 9 days, I basically cast it on myself every 5 or 6 days, because you never know when you'll need it. Are you happy for me to have cast it a couple of days before?

Player Name: James (CptJames)
Character Name: Valgard Techhead
Character Number: 258778-701
Faction: Dataphiles <3
Day Job Roll: Vid Game Caster: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Yeah same as Lau said, I've accumulated some crazy stuff, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Main things are:
Personal Boon - Avian so I have wings
Force Soles Mark 2
Technomancer Hack - Flash Teleport

So basically I can just teleport (30ft at a time) around the battlefield and everything counts as the ground, and the wings are just a safety net.

I might be a level 9 Technomancer, but is there space for me on this mission?
