Personally I was hoping for Lifeform as the term, but I get compatibility is a major priority and common terminology whenever possible makes sense with that goal.
I wouldn't mind running either, but likely need to wait until mid-late June to start any PbPs. It has taken me waaaay too long to get this house ready for sale.
Turns out thats one of the parts of Frozen Ambition I have played. I still need to do 3-09 and 3-21 in that series.
I dont remember if the characters im doing the frozen ambition series with have done 3-15. I'll have to check.
New one looks good. Thank you again for running.

Gunfire and shouting suddenly ring through the camp. Bennock broadcasts a message to every Starfinder in camp. “All hands, to the wall! We have wildlife attacking, and we’re in danger of being overrun! All-hands, to the wall!” The sounds of combat echo everywhere as the western wall comes into view. Loud, booming blows rattle the gate before it is violently knocked from its track, landing against the ground with a thud.

You manage to make good time to the camp. You land your shuttle just outside one of the tunnels leading to their encampment. You rush down the corridor to assist with the evacuation, but as you do, the grey forcefield protecting the enterence fails and you can hear the sound of frantic shouts from inside the camp. As you enter the scene, you see 4 creatures have burrowed up into the camp. initiative:
Evacuation compelte in 4 rounds.
helping with eh evacuation:
Instead of fighting critters, one of you can attempt a Hard Diplomacy or Intimidate check as a full action. If they succeed, they encourage the fleeing Weydanites to hurry, reducing the number of rounds required by 1. Round 1 Max Zoey Keskochu Obozaya Aluradaxa Red Blue Kaath Orange Purple
"Hold up a second!” Bennock calls, jogging over. “We just got a distress call from our Weydanite friends. Their camp is under attack, and I’ve offered them shelter here. They need help getting everyone evacuated before they’re overrun. Please, hop in a shuttle and get over there as quickly as you can!” Reaching the Weydanite camp is easier said than done, as volcanic vents triggered by the planar incursion created powerful storms between there and the Starfinder base camp. To reach the Weydanite camp quickly, the PC piloting the shuttle must attempt a Hard Piloting check. Other Starfinders can attempt to aid using other skills by succeeding at an Average skill check, with each successful check adding a cumulative +2 bonus to the pilot’s check.
There are 3 missions for Part 3
From the anncouces conditions in part 2,
Aluradaxa and Zoey both seem to connect with the Waydanites.
round 2
I'd allow it.
The party is able to find the Waydanite camp in about 3 days, leaving plenty of supplies to offer your fellow survivors. The Weydanite camp is in a wide cave below a hill, providing shelter from the elements. A makeshift barricade at the entrance of the cave prevents wildlife from wandering into camp. An augmented shirren woman wearing armor embossed with the holy symbol of Weydan keeps watch at the entrance when you arrive. She seems fairly surprised to see you. She introduces herself as Djeyd. She asks another pilgrim to take her place at the gate and leads you to a fire pit in a nearby alcove, explaining along the way that everyone in camp is a priest of Weydan, and they were stranded here on their way home from a pilgrimage of exploration into the Vast. Djeyd introduces them to the expedition leader, Denskaro, a Vesk man with dusty green scales wearing a patched and worn duster coat. He greets the you politely and introduces another pilgrim in the alcove as Wander-Fourth, the expedition’s quartermaster. The android, whose gunmetal-grey skin is highlighted by bright-orange circuitry, nods in silent acknowledgement. After giving you all a chance to introduce yourselves, Danskaro speaks.
sense motive:
Sitting in the circle you are able to get a bit of a read on the room
Djeyd Fact::
Djeyd is friendly and outgoing, and relishes the idea of having a wider social circle while stranded here. The first PC to mention socializing or other cultural exchange gains a +2 circumstance bonus to their check that round
Denskaro Fact::
Denskaro is thoughtful and slow to pass judgement, reserving his opinion until he’s heard from everyone.
His mannerisms seem deliberately chosen to be different than the stereotypical vesk. The first time a PC makes an argument based on strength of arms or other warlike appeal, he ignores it, but all subsequent arguments made on that basis impose a –2 circumstance penalty to that PC’s check that round. Wander-Fourth Fact::
Wander-Fourth barely conceals their dislike for the Starfinder Society behind their stoic demeanor. They blame the Society for several events that have plagued the Pact Worlds. They are unlikely to trust the PCs at first. However, they are worried about the camp’s supplies after the crash; the first time a PC suggests the Society camp is willing to share supplies, they receive a +2 circumstance bonus to their check that round.
Social round 1
My mistake, every gets TWO checks.
Bennock asks to join you as you eat dinner in the mess tent one evening.
Their tracks indicate they headed east from their ship after they crashed. I’d like you to find their camp and establish contact. Try to convince them we’re all best off if we stay in contact, share information, and help each other out. I hope that wouldn’t take too much convincing, but with some of the Society’s image problems in recent years, who knows? I don’t know how long it will take you to find them, so I’ve asked the quartermaster to pack you supplies for three weeks. With any luck, you’ll find them in a day or two, and can give them your extra supplies as a gesture of goodwill. Either way, it’s a good chance to check out more of the area around us. Happy trails, Starfinders!” You set out the next morning, traveling north to the crash site before turning east in search of the Weydanites. Finding the Weydanite’s campsite quickly requires diligent searching and skillful tracking.
Obozaya decides to shore up the camp gates. She scrouncehs around for some lumber.
Max does some excellent work on the power grid (4 successes)
Total successes 13 overall mission: Successful.
What mission would the party like for their next rotation?
The skills in each spoiler are only suggestions. If you can give a good reason for another skill to apply, feel free to run it by me.
The camp’s designated facilities manager, an imposing half-orc woman named Kyrkta briefs you as you begin a rotation on the construction team.
You may each decide how you would like to work on to improve the camp. You can work together or can work on individual projects. Examples include improving the perimeter wall, building and equipping an infirmary, or designing a simple electrical grid, though you are free to imagine their own project. Imrpovements take place over 3 phases each requiring an average skill check. Each PC who succeeds earns 1 Improvement Point. If they succeed by 5 or more, they are able to help another Starfinder as well, earning 2 Improvement Points instead. If they fail by 5 or more, other Starfinders have to assist them, detracting from their own work. In this case, the party loses 1 Improvement Point. After you decide how you would like to help with imporovments, feel free to read the spoilers below and roll for each phase of your project. Preparations Phase:
Each of you should attempt a check to represent planning their project, gathering supplies and equipment, or other preparations. Example skills include Survival to locate necessary materials in the wilderness, Physical Science to identify usable scrap from a wrecked ship, or Culture to determine the most useful location for a structure. Build Phase:
Each of you should attempt a check to represent
executing their plan and building their project. Examples include Engineering to ensure a structure is sound, Athletics to haul materials to the top of a framework, or Computers to program an
Trouble Shooring Phase: This phase involves troubleshooting your projects and putting the finishing touches on them. Each of you should describe something that goes wrong with their construction, and then attempt a skill check to represent how you overcome that problem. Examples include Acrobatics to avoid a cable that suddenly snaps loose, Engineering to devise a fix after a weak support beam buckles, or Medicine to treat a Starfinder injured in construction.
Obozaya brings down the second crest-eater. You are able to make the trek back to base camp with two trucks full of ore. There is plenty of time for you to fully rest and recover between assignment rotations. Where would you like to go next? □ Improve the Camp Construction
