Valikar doesn't even break stride now that the team has put down the ooze he's been fiddling with. When he reaches the wall he simply plants his next step into it, running up several steps before he uses his free to start dragging himself up the pillar at full speed. The last thing he wanted to deal with was this thing walking up mid-climb.
When he gets to the device he releases the ooze and brushes off his hand. "Pact Postal Service. Need a signature." While he waits for someone else to show up and handle the device he gets ready to start beating the thing around to keep it on the ground.
Double move to climb up and deposit our oozy friend by the last device.

Valikar's actions won't really change much. He'll grab the ooze and move 50ft towards the last device. I've moved as far as I can go with a single after the first action to grab the thing.

"Lure it?" Valikar stops to think for a moment, then attempts to grapple the ooze in front of him and then drag it off with him towards the indicated platform. "LURING!"
Standard action to grapple the ooze, then IF that works a move action to drag it 50 feet towards the platform. I can take 39 to climb up the side if I have move to do it.

I'm gonna bet on a 17, just because it's messing with you.
As the others deal with the other two oozes and return to help Valikar they are met with a scene. An EPIC SCENE of daring battle, two grand combatants (A grumpy vesk and a pile of sludge) battling and harrying each other with mighty blows that accomplish little. Goop and fists flying, roars and splurting sounds crying out, and the earth not really doing much of anything beneath their feet.
Despite having accomplished nothing but distracting the creature this entire time, Valikar seems to be all in all pretty amused by the whole affair. "No cold! Only fists!"

Augh! Sorry! I got home from work and was too tired to remember I needed to post!
Valikar decides to have a good old fashion brawl with this black godblood ooze. He ducks and weaves several times even though he make heads or tails of how the thing is reacting, then with a touch of fancy footwork he tries to give it a good 1-2 combo to the... squshy bit that sort of looks like a face.
Full round action to full attack black. Will AoO if it gives me a chance.

Metagamey, I'm pretty sure these things are getting back up. Can anyone ID them to figure out how to make it stop. Or Klysk did you learn anything helpful?
Valikar just sort of... stares over his shoulder as ooze squirts by, then back at the now half-melted blob that shot it at him. "I... don't know what I was expecting. Not that." With a grunt he turns on his heel and stops over on black, trying to paste it down into the ground by generously applying both his fists on top of it.
Move to his new location, standard to attack! He'll Step up and use his AoO if given the chance.

Valikar will hustle his way forward, scaling over the fallen column in his way like it wasn't even there. He'll stop just short of the green tinted ball of ooze the others have been pelting and pull back a fist, just waiting for something to get a bit closer. "What are these? Someone tell me the squishiest bits so I can hit those."
Move action to his new spot, and readying to hit the first thing in range. He'll AoO anything that gives him the chance, as well.

Valikar will watch his first missile fly before trying to take a shot with the another, hoping to add onto the damage they'd already done. "These things are slow. The anticipation is killing me." Though his tone sounds rather blase about it.
Attack Rolls:
Missile from last round tracking:1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20 For 63 damage, should reach this round if this doesn't miss

"HONOR!!!!" Valikar is leaning over Skeeter at the controls and shouting in his ear for the Honorbound to hear him right back. He stands back up tall, a satisfied look on his face as he watches the battle start until Quirk calls out to him. That snaps the old fool out of his thoughts. "Explosions are good. Let's do some damage."
He nods to Quirk and drops into the turret controls, turning the launcher onto the Jinsul ship and firing off an anti-matter missile as soon as the weapon comes around.

"I want. Hmmm. To rip one of those immortal warlords off the front of the Jinsul Capital ship. It'll be pissed. Might go on a rampage against the Jinsul for us. Helping Fitch might give me the chance to try."

Don't worry about it, Numbat! You're doing fine! Life is what it is. I'm basically having video conferences every week now to learn about the exciting new changes my company is throwing out to deal with everything.

Valikar takes the hit from yellow, the slashing legs having trouble piercing his toughened, scarred hide. And immediately after a cascade of blaster fire rains down onto the Jinsul around him. He does the cool thing, of course, and stands tall in the middle of it like he's not even phased by the chaos.
During a priest pause in his team's assault he steps up towards the pink tinted Jinsul, winds a fist back, and attempts to give the thing a nasty hook into whatever it considers a jaw.
Valikar takes 9 less damage from the attack due to his DR. He steps up to pink as a move, and standards to swing at it.

Valikar, having been drug away from his opponent, growled in what might have been a pout. Except it falls over dead and he can't really complain about it. Mollified, he goes stomping around the yellow one to get behind it. "Watch out, ugly." He'll try and smash a fist into its face if it turns to pay attention to him.
Move action to flank with Flameclaw (Will trigger an AoO if it wants to take it), standard to attack. All my prior bonuses are in effect (assuming my attack lands) and I will AoO if given the chance.

"Well. So much for being neighborly." He stood in the road for a few moments, watching everyone trade weapons fire back and forth before deciding to finally act. Or maybe he was caught so off-guard by the inevitable fight he just didn't think to do anything.
It didn't matter, really. Now he was stomping his way along the forest path to where orange was hunkered down. As he got close his last step had him lifting up one magbooted foot, which he tried to slam down into the joint of one of the jinsul's legs.
Move to new location by Orange. Standard to attack it. I will step up and strike it if it tries to step away. And anything it does that could trigger an AoO I will react to!

Valikar stands there in the middle of their landing site, still trying to gather up the remnants of his parachute as the rest of the party scatters. He holds it in one arm and glances to either side. "I." They were all hidden at this point and he just lets out a growl that was probably a sigh. "Don't do subtle."
He chucks the parachute to the side and walks up towards the Jinsul, ysoki companion hunkered down behind his shoulder and clinging to his back. "Hey. Purple guys. I'm a little lost. Can I get directions?"
Def: Melee Attacks take 2d6 Electric when they successfully hit Dragon Gland - 1/1 | Ammo: HR 6/6
"Hmm. So much for a stealth operation." He glanced over a shoulder and the heads of the others to stare at the door the Jinsul were trying to break their way through. "Oh well. Forwards it is." One of his shoulders rolled until he popped. Then he let out a half-roar, half cry of excitement and barreled his way towards the two scorpion robots, one of his gauntlet-clad fists aimed to smash into the top of the green one's head.

Valikar has never let a set of stairs slow him down. He's never let a lack of stairs slow him down either. He doesn't even miss a beat as he enters the stairwell and immediately begins taking the steps two or three at a time, his ysoki tag-along clinging for dear life to his armor plating.
And when the others notice some hidden elevator nearby and get up without any effort he won't even be bothered by it, just happy he got a warm-up in.
Valikar takes 10 to climb for a 39 or 44 on metal. If this is an extreme situation there is a roll below.

Valikar, whose technical skills have never developed past percussive maintenance and handing other people wrenches, opts to help the others with breaking in the back door.
He holds the tooks for Skeeter and Klysk... maybe bashes on a part of the door that isn't quite lined up where it needs to be.

Valikar takes one look at the crowd, look down at himself and his size and decides he will try and scale one of the nearby buildings, maybe dragging along anyone else who wants to come and he can manage to carry. That mess just wasn't worth it if he could go around.
Valikar has a climb speed, so he can take 10 except in hazardous circumstances. He gets a 39 (or 44 if the building is metal). Just in case this counts as hazardous, here is the roll.
Climb:1d20 + 29 ⇒ (5) + 29 = 34+5 to climb metal surfaces.

Sure! I didn't realize we had decided on that. There's the roll!
As is often the case for the big rockhead, Valikar starts to wander off in a direction completely opposite where Eki or Bakoyo had some hints might be worth it. A few raps on his helmet from the Ysoki on his back, some terse words, and he was doing an about face to head into the mess of alleys under strict direction from his partner in crime. "Heh, it's like a rat warren in here."

Valikar hunches over the rest, trying to be a little inconspicuous and generally failing at it. With a grunt he waves vaguely around them. "I don't do tricky. Or subtle." He gestures over his shoulder to the small, white ysoki perched there, clinging to his armored collar and scanning the area with narrowed eyes. "The Doc there. Decent with getting me to go the right way if it helps."
Valikar is pretty bad at all of these, but his hireling can get a +16 on Survival or Culture, so I can at least aid.

Hmmm, I posted earlier and it said it posted. I have no idea what happened to it. Here's take 2 and I will Quirk, Nice shot!
Valikar, pretty happy at the sight of Quirk's shot slamming into the Jinsul ship, leans over his own controls and continues firing. "Ram us into their engines next. It'll be faster. And fun."

Valikar continues to mass the fire shiny beam button on his control panel while muttering about cowardly Jinsul. "They're taking all the fun out of this and scuffing our paint."

"I think so, Eki." He mumbled under his breath and tilted his head until he heard something crack. "Hmmm. Better. We'll fix it this time." He fired off another blast from the particle beam.

"Bah! This is what I hate about Jinsul! They won't turn and have a good fight." He growled and started lining up his weapon again. "And this is what I hate about spaceship. The big gun is nice. But it's not personal enough." He squinted one eye and turned his head slightly to the side before letting out a low growl and pressing down on the trigger to send a lance of light at the Jinsul vessel. "I that hurts someone."

No RP, I'm about to head to work. Sorry Numbat, I didn't want to jump ahead and post without knowing if you wanted us to go ahead and resolve all actions at once or in phases. I'll do a more IC post later, but here are shots for round 1 and 2.

I'm fine with doing things in that method if you like Numbat. I've only actually done starship combat maybe 1 or 2 other times in PbP, and I know that was done at least once to help move things along.
And if a particular action didn't work because of what someone else wound up doing then that person could just change it as necessary.

As for missions, Valikar doesn't really... do well with the whole stealth thing. But he's willing to run distraction if situations allow for it. We could just go right down the list?

Valikar a familiar nod before following after the more energetic Ysoki on their team to talk with Fitch. He grunts as they regale her with talk of starships. "Never been much for space combat. Not after having to deal with drone ships. Preferred the rescue mission the Honorbound took us on. It was starship fighting." He gave a half-grin to the group "Standing on the outside of the ship throttling boarders counts, right?" As he talks he casually hands over a wrench. Very handy.
Engineering:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19(+4 more if this is recalling knowledge)
As he moves on and meets with Iteration there's an addition to his armor that appears. Scuttling across the staging area a small white ysoki with red eyes scales his back and perches on his shoulder. She settles herself in place and whispered in his ear as they arrived, likely to nudge him into responding to the android. [b]"I'm not a talker. I prefer the gods to see my actions. It's easier for me and there's no double speak. It's why I hated that party the Second Seeker held that you were at. Well, until the reptoid showed up and tried to kill her. Breaking him made a good point not to mess with us."
Culture:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
Valikar seems rather nonplussed by Skeeter's speech for the new recruit, but he hoped it motivated a few. He squatted down near a few of them instead, ones he recognized. "You were in the class I teach. At the lorespire. Xenobiology. On how to kill them, mostly. If you know that you can scare the crud out of even Jinsul. I was just telling someone about defending a gaggle of diplomats from an assassin. But it was easy because I knew where to hurt it. So know where to hurt them." He was big, grumpy, and talking about the best way to kill things. Scary.
Intimidate:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
He didn't even bother with the Dataphiles' leader, not because he didn't like her but because he didn't get along with computers. Instead he joined Eki in peering through some of the requisition crates. "We should probably hand out a few nukes... not in the food. But if you want explosives they'll explode. And I have a few leftover from a mission to a planet full of bugs. Or is that too much?" He starts muttering more to himself and his Ysoki hitchhiker as he digs deeper into a crate.
Athletics:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23
He stares over the maps Radaszam has and then reaches down to the console to pull up a new window with an image of the Jinsul. "The big trick is their damn blades attached to the legs on half of them. Get some heavy armor on. Then rip them off. That'll fix things. Ran into their Hierarch once, though. It mutated into something big, nasty. If anyone sees that thing have them stay back. Deal with it at range where it's safer."

Another large vesk was present, though this one was more of the traditionally grizzled sort. His scales were dull brown and fading into more of a slate grey color where they weren't criss-crossed with battle scars. He wore an equally beaten and scuffed set of armor that appeared to be made from pieces of a large creature... a -very- large creature.
While the others had introduced themselves he'd been slumped on the floor against a wall looking bored and feeling old as he fiddled with a comm unit. Though as Bakoyo gave his pep talk, Valikar let out a breath through his nostrils that carried a large puff of smoke with it. Then with a grunt he started to pull himself to standing at his full seven feet of height. "That's a bit hokey, kid. But the sentiment? Fine." He rolled his shoulders and felt a few things crack, which caused him to pause and look over his own shoulder a second. Was that him or his gear.
He grunted again and looked at the rest of the group. "Valikar Drazen. Friends call me "Hardcover." A pause, he gave Bakoyo another look and sighed as if exasperated. 'But since we're all Starfinders. And teammates. Either works. I run point if my armor doesn't give it away. Find me the biggest, ugliest thing out there besides me, and I'll stand between it and you."
"I've dealt with Jinsul, too. They regretted it. They'll regret seeing us."
Valikar is fine with Rookie Training (He does it in his off-time already) supply runs, or tactical prep.
