_Veda_'s page

Mh fun with tentacles...is it male, female or something else?
Veda grins at Jaeric.

Then she goes along with the Vindurth, trying to keep it from the walls on one side.

Veda nods to the half-elf.
Food eh, makes sense. We'll watch it.

Then to Never.
Not sure what to do if it decides to do something funny though. Is this thing sentient? Or just some sort of animal?

Veda stands by, seemingly a bit out of breath, rubbing her burnt shoulder and nervously fingering her bolter.

So, what are you going to do about this thing?

Then she seems to have an idea.
Maybe it likes magic?

Casting ghost sound DC15 into the opposite corner of the room, making it sound like rustling leaves there.

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Veda shoots her plasma bolter again.
Plasma Bolter: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Hehe nice hit human.

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Veda storms forward and aims her bolter at the left robot.
Plasma Bolter: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 141d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

What do i have to do to get that +3 on damage?

Not sure if it's ok to post already, but alas...

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

I'll take a wild guess: those are the virus infected robots? And we use a very traditional anti virus method?

Veda steps to the side to have a better line of sight and aims her plasma bolter at the robot near Never.

What Queen are they talking about? Do they have a Queen here? Majesty is a Queen right?

Plasma Bolter: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 231d10 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 3 = 12

Oh my, looking forward to the first combat here^^

engineering : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Mh rolls of slime. Weird stuff. Can you imagine living in slime?

She looks around the room her bolter ready.

can anything be found out about the slime and scrolls?

Guess I have no points in sense motive, but will save is there now.

Mh, burning. Ah i get it! You mean then they look like burned bread! Rather curious. I prefer my plasma bolter here.

Veda has the rifle ready in her hands while she moves forward with you.
Is this where the robots are or the plant? Do you have any plan on how to catch that plant? How big is it even? And is it hostile?

Done. Hope that includes all important things?

Veda gives the dwarf a confused look.
Why would you turn robots into a form of bread? Is that a form of magic you mastered?

Veda watches intently, her tongue flicking out several times.

As the half-elf addresses her, she turns to him with unblinking eyes.
Yeah that's exactly what Iteration-177 told me. Get rid of some robots out of control then take care of a ksarik. They didn't say return to a cage though.
She seems to smirk.
Probably can be done as well.
Are you a team leader here? Mh you look like a talker. I'm more in the shooting, magic and science department. she says padding her plasma bolter.
Should we shoot those robots or try to hack them and get rid of the virus? I can go both ways. Also fly some ships and analyze alien tech.

Right next to the obelisk you can see a large reptile person in combat armor, a large rifle strapped to their back, standing.
As they notice you, they begin to wave towards you.

Hey you! Over here! You must be the ones Iteration-177 brought with them, right? Iteration-177 sent me to lend you a hand. Just in case...kind of a security measure. My name is Atharvaveda, nice to meet you.

Here's the character.
Still level 1 gear, not overly familiar with gear stuff on levels beyond that yet.
You let me know when to post.

What kind of stuff? Did you find out anything? Show it to me! Maybe i can remember something. Anything!
Veda scoffs at Laura, a manic glow in her eyes.
Clearly the situation is not becoming her.

Good to hear it's helpful for you :D

To be fair, i had 2 major absences in the last year as well, just because i had neither the time nor the energy (and partially no internet or only on phone as well) to keep up with the boards and post something.
We live in interesting times sadly.

And PbP - like any regularly scheduled activity with adults who have a life, job and possibly family - can be difficult in calmer and more regular times already.

For me looking at the boards, stability and steadiness make the game and groups.
There are some groups and people who want it very fast, but that's often quickly outlived and better for scenarios, not campaigns.
For campaigns you just stick around in the greater scheme^^

So yeah, looking forward to continue this as well!

Oh there you are! I'm feeling much better again and would really love to know who i actually am! Have you found out something?

Veda greets you with a friendly smile, but also anxious and impatiently.
There's this flicker in her eyes every now and then, giving away everything might not be as allright as she says.

Seems including me 3 players posted lately, the other 3 posted last last year, or 1 2019.
They might come back or not, but we can continue with 3 people and once this is stable again we might recruit someone else or not.

Just don't get demotivated. The boards are very slow since some time now and lots of people are not in their best spots due to the world being the world right now.

Since Veda was absent for some time, i't just gonna play it out as she took a time out in the chapel, hope that's allright!

Then let's do it!

If it's not a fit, then there's no worries. I'm in enough games as well.
On the other hand, 7 in PbP aren't that much either in my experience.
Someone is kind of always late or away for a time and there's always some attrition usually.

If it's not too much for you GM in Yellow, go on with the 7, just add a little punch to encounters :D

So, can i play again as well?

Hey! What a surprise! Nice to see this game going again!

Doing my best to do that over the weekend, i meant to tweak some things with the character, since that character was made for an AP with very specific requests, like everybody being from Near Space.

I might just jump in at the danger that race and other things could change though :P

Ah no, now i can see it posted.
I did not see that post when i tried to make it and for several hours later, until i checked just now.

Sorry, i'll need a bit more time, unexpectedly very busy this week.
Hope i can do everything some evening during the next days or at the weekend latest.
I'm looking to tweak my character a bit more, so it fits well into the group and the gunner role.
Not sure if i stay Vesk atm.

Also the site was having hickups again, so it took the wrong alias as player character for the gameplay thread.
Could not delete it either, but seemingly it didn't post anyway.

All clear, will rework the character a bit to fill the gunner role.
Might make some other changes, but probably going for a Bobbie Draper thing :D

Well hello there, thanks for the admission!

For a level 2 character i have this to offer, a weird mix of soldier and technomancer i came up with some time ago.
The longterm idea is to make things go boom.

I'm open to adapt though and only ever played 1 or 2 scenarios already some time ago.

Have fun everyone and thanks for considering me.

Updated the background a bit.

Hopefully i find the time to write down the complete backstory until then and post it. I run 2 games tonight and tomorrow i still need to prep a bit for. Both PF2 though.
I'm the only one over here who wants to play Starfinder sadly.

Also have to admit playing a Vesk is slightly outside my comfort zone, since i definitely prefer more humanlike races and this character is outside the type i usually play, but i think it's a nice roleplaying challenge and i'm looking forward to it.

This is the Vesk character. Decided to go with 1 level of soldier because that seems to fit Vesks more, but technomancer is going to be the main class.
I am currently reading up more on Vesk to fill in a bit better stuff to the backstory.

I want to play this character as two-sided. Typical combat and competition, hard and reserved Vesk on the outside, but cute, talkative and science/knowledge oriented on the inside and to friends who are accepted into the inner circle.
You could say this is kind of a Vesk Bobby Draper from Expanse, but with magic and a lot more science backup.
Technomancer also provides a lot of skill points with a high INT engineering, computer and other INT based skills will be high, some getting boni from the class.
There's gonna be a family backstory explaining why they want to go to the pact worlds, already got the raw draft, featuring involvement with some of Vesks military and secret services as well as family drama^^
That should provide for interesting character motives between Vesk always looking for conquests and information to further those, looking to achieve dominance within their own family, but also a streak of rebellion against all of that and a yearning for new knowledge and cultures.

I would be back again as well and available, if accepted back.

Something still going on here?

I'm a bit on the work intensive side these weeks - which i should probably happy about, seeing so many people getting laid off.

Actually i planned on going ranged combat.
Only takes some time.

So, someone else can have the amulet.
1 Laura, 2 Prasitis, 3 Satomi: 1d3 ⇒ 3

According to this role it would be Satomi then.

You mean if someone can get the door open? Let me try, that seems familiar.
Veda instinctively reaches to her hair and pulls some hairpins out, trying to unlock the door with them.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 = 19

Or just decide who's going to stand in the front will get it, but that one has to?

Hope everything is alright!

I unexpectedly did not have internet for some days. Gonna post something later.

Uh well done Satomi and Laura, guess we were lucky you had that...vial in your pack. A bit unusual, but maybe i should develop the habit to keep such a thing on my person as well. I realize i don't even have a torch!
Veda looks quite disturbed by the encounter. As seems her personality she quickly shakes it off though.

Good thing it's gone now. Where to next?

Suddenly Veda seems to realize something else and becomes very, very pale.

Stop it! Stop attacking it! Hurting it with anything that slashes or pierces it will only make it grow...somehow. It regenerates itself and grows when it gets hurt the wrong way! We need to bludgeon it and best kill it with fire or acid! Do we have something of that? Oh hell my weapons are useless!
Waving her arms around she's screaming loudly.
And don't step into the slime trail!

1. Special Attacks or Abilities? 2. Special defenses? 3. Weakness?

I think this abomination is called a hungry flesh...i know it from somewhere. Please don't ask me why, because i have no valid answer to why i would know such a thing.
Veda doesn't look too pleased with her own knowledge.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

kn:dungeoneering: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21

Thanks for the welcome^^ Does that mean i can try a new kn:dungeoneering check?

Sorry seems i had somehow disabled notifications on that. Already wondered why nothing happened here, while you were happily posting away...I'll just go after the thing in initiative if that's fine.

Probably knowledge arcana?[/dice: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10

Veda takes out her bow and fires at the thing from a distance as well.
Shortbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 141d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

[b]What is it? Seems like a nightmare, some magical experiment gone wrong or something! Makes me want to puke![/dice]

Vedas jaw dropped when she saw the creature and she has troubles averting her eyes in a bizzare fascination and horror.

Wait, what do you mean what did you become? Have you been something else? Or someone?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Veda looks at Winter in confusion.
Inside of Ustalav. Do i have some history there? Afraid i don't know that?

You say some mysterious force arrived with an earthquake? Can you elaborate that? How do you know something arrived? And what is the thing behind the curtain?

Short question in case i'm missing something:

She notes Vedas' outburst, nodding along as she listens.

"Which, yes, is inside of Ustalav. Is there some history you have here that you are remembering?"

Is this up to us to make up, aka our character background or is there something in the story?

Feeling Prasitis stiffen when she touches her and the silent thanks, Veda thinks to herself.
What's wrong with her? Poor thing seems really shaken...

Before she knows it she turns Prasitis towards her and gives her a warm and gentle hug, both arms slung around her and head on the shoulders.
Somehow this will all turn out well.

What am i doing? This is only to comfort her.

After a moment, Veda let's go, looking to the floor awkwardly.

Who am i joking. That felt good and i might have needed that more than she did.

You ready? Should we go explore the asylum some more and look for clues?
