Vchk's page

Thanks, GM! It was a fun session, certainly.

{"You handle the computer-stuff; I'll ensure our exit is clear."}

Vchk heads towards the airlock as the others do fancy computer-things, looking for any surprise-zombies or turrets between them and safety.

{"How many holes do you need before you die?!"}

Full attack into Bodyguard again.

Full Attack vs. KAC w/ Machine Gun (+ Get 'Em): 1d20 + 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 4 + 1 = 16
Machine Gun Damage (P): 1d10 ⇒ 5

Full Attack vs. KAC w/ Machine Gun (+ Get 'Em): 1d20 + 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 4 + 1 = 14
Machine Gun Damage (P): 1d10 ⇒ 5

Maintaining his position, Vchk lays down a continuous stream of fire, trying to down the creature before it can deal any more damage.

Full Attack vs. KAC w/ Machine Gun: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 4 = 20
Machine Gun Damage (+ CRITICAL HIT): 1d10 + 1d10 ⇒ (9) + (10) = 19

Full Attack vs. KAC w/ Machine Gun: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 4 = 13
Machine Gun Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6

Back to back crits! What a day! Vchk will use Bodyguard if applicable.

Vchk runs to support Itch and Chetna, unholstering his machine gun as he moves. Once he reaches position, he squeezes off an angry burst at the strange creature!

Attack vs. KAC w/ Machine Gun (+ Get 'Em): 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25
Machine Gun Damage (+ CRITICAL HIT): 1d10 + 1d10 ⇒ (2) + (4) = 6

Vchk's Lucky Die: 1d20 ⇒ 7

"Care for a beer?"

Angrid plops down beside the Shirren, pops open an IPA, and offers one from her travel cooler.

{"By the gods, you are a saint."} Vchk gladly accepts the proffered beer, savoring the hoppy aroma while idly picking bits of corpse and ectoplasm off his armor.

Just so nobody is rushed because they think they don't have time..you can take a 10 minute break to recover Stamina without running out of time to escape the storm

Thank you for that clarification; Vchk will take 10 minutes to do exactly that.

{"Hey. Can we take a breather? I need a drink."} Leaning against the wall, Vchk pulls out a small, luminescent vial and pops it down the hatch.

Mk I Healing Serum: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Perception check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

{"That... harrowing. I think 'harrowing' is the appropriate adjective there."}

Fighting defensively just saved my bug butt there. Gonna rinse'n'repeat (fighting defensively into Bodyguard), assuming Navasi keeps up using Get 'Em.

{"Why won't you di-, I mean, stay dead?!"}

Attack vs. KAC w/ Force Baton (+ Get 'Em, - Fighting Defensively): 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 19
Force Baton Damage (B): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Deflecting the creature's deadly attack with a heavy armor plate, Vchk continues to cautiously strike with the humming force baton.

Attack vs. KAC w/ Force Baton (- Fighting Defensively): 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 4 = 4

Same deal as before - fighting defensively into Bodyguard.

Vchk continues to take measured strikes against the creature, trying to keep his insides, well, inside.

Standard action to fight defensively (+2 AC), using reaction to bodyguard if applicable.

Attack vs. KAC w/ Force Baton (- Fighting Defensively): 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 4 = 18
Force Baton Damage (B): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Damage enemy: 1

Did Vchk's attack with the force baton connect?

Wheezing as the spectral creature rips into his soft inner bits, Vchk staggers off to the side, trying to protect his body while he strikes forth once more with the force baton.

Taking a guarded step towards port and then fighting defensively with my standard action (+2 AC); Vchk will once again use his reaction to play bodyguard if the opportunity shows itself.

Attack vs. KAC w/ Force Baton (- Fighting Defensively): 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 4 = -1

Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Vchk shakes his head, clearing the fog of confusion that threatened to settle when the apparition emerged from the corpse. He raises the weapon to fire again and...

Unfortunately, the yoski's finger is still on the trigger of his pistol and in his nervousness, he fires on the Shirren.

PING! The bullet ricochets off Vchk's thick armor plating, which causes the shirren to jump in alarm. {"Dude! Not cool!"}

Dropping the machine gun, Vchk draws a force baton as he closes with the ghost, trying to put himself between the creature and the injured Navasi.

{"How do you like this, ghost-jerk!?"}

Attack vs. KAC w/ Force Baton: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Force Baton Damage (B): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Vchk dropped his machine gun right inside the door to this room, if that comes up. During this turn, Vchk will burn his reaction to use the Bodyguard feat (targeting either Navasi or Angrid) instead of taking an AoO.

It's a motionless corpse is a suit of armor...

Vchk has been pointing his gun at motionless things all day. I would hate to break his streak...

{"Either way, we need that battery, yes? Go ahead and disconnect it. If that corpse jumps up, I promise to shoot it very thoroughly."}

Vchk will ready an action to shoot the corpse (or anything that springs from the corpse) if it appears to be a threat.

"You okay?" she asks, turning to Vchk. "What now, V? Back to try that last door opposite the engine room?"

{"Yes! Before something else bites me!"} catching his breath slightly, Vchk heads to the locked room, heavy weapon at the ready. {"Chetna? Didn't you pick up a keycard of some kind? I'll cover you if you open the door."}

{"See? Nothing to worry abou- OH MY GODS!"}

Reflex save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

It takes Vchk a while to crush all the biting larvae, and by the time he's finished, the shirren is breathing heavily. {"Alright - next time I'm gonna let you set it on fire. Far away from me."}

{"Oh, for gods' sake!"} Vchk walks up and jams his (gloved) hand into the corpse, trying to extract whatever troublesome creature is lurking underneath.

Life Science: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

While the others inspect the rotting corpses, Vchk will divide his attention between the doors leading to and from the mess, watching for any kind of threat - especially one with four arms and claws.

"Alright. I guess that was a little ambitious. Start with the Bridge, first?"

{"Sounds like an excellent idea. Here, try this big honkin' battery."}

{"Geez, this ship is a lemon. I wouldn't want it if you were givin' it to me."}

Vchk stands nearby, watching the unopened doors warily with his machine gun at the ready, hoping the more technical members of the crew get the ship's power up and running soon.

Vchk's lucky streak continues as he opens yet another door.

Yay!

Perception check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

{"This ain't gonna buff out... hey, there's a terminal here! Someone wanna take a look at this?"}

Medicine check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

{"There's also parts of people. And... yeah. Something with big claws was disassembling people."}

While Navasi and Angrid poke around with the holoprojector, Vchk grabs one of the force batons and tries to open the door across the corridor (NW room).

Perception check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

{"Well, this is gross."}

Vchk attempts to assist Navasi with the panel, lending his own strength.

Strength check (aid another): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Unfortunately, his new armor is too bulky to allow him to really grab the panel properly.

Chetna looks around the room and says, "Space just fired a warning shot at us. Let's keep moving."

{"Can't argue there."}

Gonna try the southwest room next.

Itch nearly drops the Kasatha book as he reads the logs. "Whoa, this Yotto came back to life? And they trapped it somewhere on board? Maybe it got out again and killed them? Or maybe that's what's locked in that room."

{"If one of the crew members rose from the dead, they're probably still active. Somebody grab that force baton - let's see if we can find that sparring chamber; the records mentioned more of these batons. They could be useful."}

And Vchk is 0 for 2! We might find an open door someday.

His antennas twitching in mild irritation, Vchk turns around and tries the door behind him (southeast), hoping to make some headway before the ship is consumed by the storm.

Is there any way to tell if there's a direction to the blood smear? Does it run from port to starboard or vice versa? If not... Fate: 1d2 ⇒ 2 Starboard (northeast room)

{"I'm with Andgrid on this one. Let's find out what left this mess - dead or alive."}

Vchk walks through the bloodied doorway, machine gun at the ready, telepathing softly. {"Yoo whoo... Housekeeping..."}

"North" is the forward direction, yes?

{"Oh. Lovely. Yes, nothing wrong with a long streak of blood across a ship. That's just the newest trend."}

Vchk steps forward until he's at the nexus of the dorsal and transverse corridors.

{"We should probably take control of the bridge first, grab the hard drive, and then clear the rest of the ship with the time remaining. Any objections?"}

With the group's consent (and Angrid at his side) Vchk will proceed through the forward door towards the bridge.

Vchk keeps watch as Chetna inspects the panel. When the group moves forward into the kasathan ship, Vchk will take point (machine gun at the ready) unless someone objects.

Vchk takes spends the short journey swapping his armor and firearm for the gift given by the Honorbound.

{"Ugh, how do vesk wear plate like this? It's like wearing a starship."}

Vchk will lead the way into the airlock, new machine gun in hand and infrared sensors scanning the gloom. He checks the flashing panel next to the door.

As you look at your scanners you see that the Honorbound has jettisoned a cargo pod which after you retrieve you find out is containing a set of golemforged plating II armor and a squad machine gun.

Holy moly, what a catch! Is anyone else interested in lvl 3 heavy armor or a lvl 4 heavy weapon?

Punctuativing Navasi's words, Vchk lobs a volley of particle beam fire in the direction of the Honorbound.

{"Pew pew!"} Vchk swings the turret around, joyfully laying fire down on the Honorbound.

Not certain where the enemy ship is in the cloud of space-rocks, Vchk does his best to spin the turret around and shoot something.

Shoot vs. Honorbound (AC) w/ Light Particle Beam (+ mk 1 Computer Bonus + Encourage): 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 14
Light Particle Beam Damage (Finest Weapons): 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 4) = 12

GM - thanks for botting me there - I was waiting to see how the helm actions shook out and then things got busy. BTW, don't forget Vchk's Defender of the Fleet boon:

Finest Weapons Reroll: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Well, nevermind about that.

Itch - I should have told you this earlier, but now is as good a time as any. I have a boon that effects all ship weapons - when you roll damage, any 1s are automatically rerolled (once).

Vchk stares through the targeting computer, trying to find a clear shot through the asteroid field.

I'm not sure if our final position will have line of sight, but I'll attempt to take a shot anyhow using the turret weapon and one of the duonode bonuses.

PS - I copied the stats for the Sunrise Maiden to the Maps slideshow. I hope you don't mind, GM.

Mostly silent up until this point (even for a bug, he has a terrible poker face), Vchk activates the targeting system for the Maiden's turret gun, not fully understanding the rationale of an honor battle but not arguing with the quick-talking Starfinders.

Also Vchk, don't you want to slot Defender of the Fleet (Starship Boon)?

Goodness, yes. I somehow skipped over that one completely, thank you. I'll slot Defender of the Fleet (Finest Weapons).

{"I heard that the Exo-gaurdians used to have a fortress. Didn't realize it was in such a crazy bind! Sounds exciting!"}

"I was prospectin' this asteroid for the Hardscrabble Collective, and turned out a ship had been hidden in one of its caves. Designation, Sunrise Maiden. She's on loan to me as payment for gettin' it workin' and bringin' it back in one piece. But at a hundred years old, she's a bit hard to fly."

{"As long as it's got guns, I'm not too particular to what we're flyin'."}

Vchk is really much a gunner, so I'm perfectly fine with any ship.

Another body retrieval mission? I joined the Starfinders to save lives, but twice now I've played undertaker instead.

{"Sounds good, Ziggy."} Vchk responds telepathically. {"Do we have any inkling what might have taken out the Bulwark or the Scholar?"}

Vchk says nothing, only nodding faintly while attempting to discretely activate the environmental seals of his armor to filter out some of the auditory sugar.

Long time no see, Revvy. Ready to go-go!

Agreed, thank you GM (and everyone else) for sticking with this game through the site outages and all that hectic stuff.

I'll stick with Elsebo.

I'm assuming Vchk will activate his starship boon Hero of the Stars at this point to restore you to 10 hull point - if not let me know and I'll upload a youtube video of exploding spaceships ;)

"USE THE BOON, VCHK!"

Relying on his history of difficult starship combat, Vchk manages to encourage the crew to hold the ship together just long enough to outlast the jinsul fighter.

{"Let's take out that capital ship before we're dead in the water!"}

Attack vs. Capital w/ Light Plasma Cannon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Light Plasma Cannon Damage: 2d12 ⇒ (5, 9) = 14

"Concentrate all fire on the capital ship!" in a high pitched tone.

{"On it!"}

Attack vs. Capital w/ Light Plasma Cannon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Light Plasma Cannon Damage: 2d12 ⇒ (10, 12) = 22
Oh, baby!

Dang it. The orange ship that's actually got a thin purple border. The one three hexes in front of us.

Vchk grabs the forward gun, attempting to take out the enemy fighter (orange) once and for all.

Attack vs. Orange w/ Light Plasma Cannon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Light Plasma Cannon Damage: 2d12 ⇒ (1, 11) = 12

Thanks for botting me GM, it's been a crazy weekend.

Vchk jumps on the turret-mounted coilgun once again, lining up a shot of the aft of the capital ship...

Attack vs. BIG SHIP w/ Coilgun: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Coilgun Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 1) = 7
