Yariel Flash's page

Among the bubbling voices, Lilly hears Yariel speaking with the Stewards about signing on with them. She desperately wants to say goodbye, but she’s sure that would destroy her composure. She manages a weak wave as Yariel heads out of the room, and then rummages through her pack. Finding her data pad, she types a message. “Good luck, my friend. We made a great team. Don’t forget me. L.” She presses ‘send’, stows the pad, and wipes her hand across the tears on her cheeks, trying to look refreshed instead of emotional.

Yariel pops by the room about five minutes later and wraps Lilly up in a big hug, "Oh s$~% Doc, my bad. I was just looking into my options. Listen, I'll keep in touch and stuff but this whole deal wasn't exactly a job or anything. This group seems squared away enough I figured I'd at least take a shot. Honestly though, it was great working with you again."

The ysoki turns to the group, "It was great working with all of you, even the corporate stooge." She gives John a wink. "Anyway, y'all have my comms so maybe we'll meet up again down the road somewhere." She heads to the door, "Gotta fill out some paperwork."

If I could get the chronicle for the character below, that would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the well wishes and nice words. I'll probably see some of you around the forums.

I haven't completely given up on Starfinder, but it'll definitely take a deep backseat to my game preferences.

GM, what levels do the chronicles for this session cover so I can figure out where I'd like it applied.

"Definitely sound good right now. It's been a week long couple days."

She turns to their saviors, "You all recruiting? Seems like y'all run a tight ship and I was between jobs anyway. Now that the civies are safe, I figure I better at least ask."

Engineering (t): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Trying to figure out what sort of bomb or device could have completely wiped out that location.

"Yeah... that's that. No evidence left behind I guess."

Yariel nods, "Knew you could do it T'sorkel. Good work all here."

The Ysoki packs up her gear and heads out with the crew, "Let's get out of here and figure out what is next."

She adds her thoughts back to the Shirren, The odds that any of this is part of the original simulation are very low. But that doesn't mean these people are friends. Remember that.

Yariel pulls out her computer and looks for a signal, "I got this, someone else help with the reactor."

Computers (t) + Techlore: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 1 = 30

I can't fail an Aid on Computers, so that is one auto-success.

Yariel frowns, "I think you'll have to do the commands, but my best guess is you should search for a help FAQ first, then just follow the steps to shut it down."

Yariel hollars, "Ah great, good work on that beast. It wasn't that tough. Listen, this reactor is built by grays for grays, so it requires a telepathic input as well as physical input. It seems we will need to work together."

She gets on the comms and rings up their allies across the compound, "We are at the reactor, found a Quantum Troll, put it down. But the reactor requires at least one telepath to do anything. We have one of those so will get cracking, do you all have one?"

Yariel scans the screens to see if there is an easy and quick way to start shutting this thing down.

Engineering (t): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Yariel moves down the ladder and rushes over to the control panel, "Need some help here? I heard we would all die if this wasn't stopped."

Double Move

The Ysoki nods at Rar'gul, "Thank you big guy."

But she raises an eyebrow at T'sorkel's question, "At what point in this entire adventure have I made any indication that I wish to go first or even second into a dangerous situation? No thank you. I will happily follow you all into the fray though."

That looks like Rar'gul, T'sorkel & Beauregard are going down with magic. Then doc and Yariel will go halfway (stealth is half speed and Yariel only has a single move left after her spell reaction). I'm assuming the NPC will also get down a double move's worth.

Instead of magicking up her allies, she actually just points at the floor below the ladder and creates a nice soft fluffy landing pad that absorbs all their falling energy.

”If y’all trust me yet, I can get both big guys down really fast. But ya gotta jump together.”

Not sure if the large PC and NPC could ‘fall’ down a chute that small, but if they can Yariel can hit them both with Fly (aka feather fall) as they drop down.

Update about the spell. I can send Rar'gul and Hrog down together OR I can send Rar'Gul and TWO of the medium sized pc's.

”If y’all trust me yet, I can get both big guys down really fast. But ya gotta jump together.”

Not sure if the large PC and NPC could ‘fall’ down a chute that small, but if they can Yariel can hit them both with Fly (aka feather fall) as they drop down.

Yariel puts a small paw on his knee, "Uh hey, let the scout report back before you follow and blow his cover."

She sends a message to his comm unit, "All good?"

I hope he put it on silent. That would be bad if not.

Staying at the top to shoot stuff that eats John presents itself as a target and totally won't murder the scout.

Yariel pulls out her cable again and offers it to John, "In case you get down and want to get back up quickly, we'll just have the big guys pull."

Yariel peeks around the corner of the greenery, "It would be nice to have an ally."

Diplomacy Aid: 1d20 ⇒ 2

The ysoki stays quiet. Firstly, she isn't smooth with words and this thing is actually sorta listening to them. Secondly, no reason to give away how many of them there are or if it knows already, no reason to act like they are all ganging up on it. It already has a quick trigger and is probably responsible for untold murders.

Yariel's fur shivers as she recalls that old memory. She doesn't quite know what it means, but she does share it with Doc (go ahead and read Yariel's spoilered deal).

When done she whispers, "What do you think it means? Just a random coincidence? We all laughed at my brother, but what if the grey's had been involved there. What if we were picked because we've all had some dealings with them before?"

I’d love to make a solid post here but IRL is busy. Potty training our oldest kid has begun. Hopefully tomorrow I can make a good reply to the flashback stuff.

Yariel seems lost in thought as she moves through the plant room.

I believe I will be bowing out of this group at the end of this section.

Nothing against the group at all, but I tend to get burned out on Starfinder if I play it too much. I think an AP is frankly just too much for me to keep going on. I'll probably take a break from the system and then go back to playing a couple scenarios a year.

It's a pretty clunky system imho and while I like the shadowrun-esque flavor of the world, there is only so much of that to go around.

Yariel is happy to examine the plants from a distance.

Life Science (t): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Yariel steps back from both doors to leave space for her allies and shrugs, "Works fine for me."

She quickly ejects the spent shells and reloads her little four-shooter.

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

The Ysoki looks down in surprise at the tiny little electrical burn on her arm, ”Wow, that was less dangerous than I thought it would be. Did you soak up the electricity Rar’gul? That’s a neat trick.”

Yariel waits till her flanking partner strikes, then carefully steps back to fire her pistol again, ”I’ll be jumping in and out of melee big guy, just wait for me to move back in before your next swing. Should keep this bugger off balance.”

Rotating Pistol vs. KAC + Get Em: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18 for Piercing + W.S.: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6

The Ysoki fires again and then moves into flanking with the big dude.

Rotating Pistol vs. KAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 for Piercing + W.S.: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6

Yariel just deadpans "94 percent" and then moves into the room next to doc with her pistol out.

Yariel peeks in from the doorway, "By my calculations, 93% of the rooms we have gone into have had something that attacks immediately. I'll wait here for a count to ten before rushing in, thank you."

Engineering (t): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

"Radiation Shielding. Means we are on the right track."

Yariel will go last, but will lean over the edge as each person goes down in case any fall.

She has 'flight' at level 1 which essentially means 'feather fall' as a reaction. She can only cast this 2x today, so please don't fall.

Yariel glances down the shaft better this time, "Hmmm... His size won't let him use the ladder easily, but it should let him easily climb down, just wedged in with his feet on one side and his back on the other. Let's put a rope around him in case he slips, otherwise should be fine."

She pulls out 50 ft of cable and hands it to someone strong enough to help belay the big guy.

Computers (t) + Techlore: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 1 = 21

Yariel shares the information as best she understands it, "Seems like once we shut off the reactor, we can use this panel to get through those locked doors to the north. But to get to the reactor, we have to go down through that small access shaft AND I have to hack an airlock door at the bottom. But that small issue aside, we have another large issue. I don't think the big guy is going to fit down the access hatch. But I also don't see another way to get down to the reactor so we can get out. Discuss any thoughts you have while I try to hack the shaft airlock open."

Computers (t) + Techlore against the airlock door in the shaft DC 23: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 1 = 14

For s$%~s sake. She can't hack crap. I swear her computer and engineering rolls are the worst!

Computers (t) + Techlore against the airlock door in the shaft DC 23 if she can try again: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 1 = 20
Computers (t) + Techlore against the airlock door in the shaft DC 23 if she can try again: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 1 = 22
Computers (t) + Techlore against the airlock door in the shaft DC 23 if she can try again: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 1 = 20
Computers (t) + Techlore against the airlock door in the shaft DC 23 if she can try again: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 1 = 21
Computers (t) + Techlore against the airlock door in the shaft DC 23 if she can try again: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 = 15
Computers (t) + Techlore against the airlock door in the shaft DC 23 if she can try again: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 1 = 20

Yariel throws her hands in the air and walks out into the corridor to cool off.

Bleed bypasses DR in Pathfinder. I expect it also does in Starfinder.

Yariel simply steps away launches a gout of fire at the creature, "Cold Iron? I'll just burn its flesh off."

Energy Ray vs. EAC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 for Fire: 1d3 ⇒ 2

The diminutive Ysoki darts into the room, risking an attack from one of the creatures. This tactic is quite unusual for the generally cautious rat, so she must have something up her sleeves.

Move, this Provokes from Blue.

She turns with a grin and types on her computer. Holding her hand out palm facing forward, a burst of heat blasts out and engulfs both enemies!

Cast Overheat, should hit both for 2d8 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 fire damage, Reflex DC 17 for half. This would also provoke if Blue is somehow able to have two reactions for AoO's a turn (or was somehow prescient enough to hold on the first AoO).

Yariel glances in the room.

Engineering (t): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

"Your guess was spot on, this definitely is another one of those. We should break it down and keep the materials. Could someone wander inside to see if there is still a beast here so I can get to work?"

Once, as usual, it is clear and safe enough for the those less able to go hand to hand with a raging monster, Yariel moves in with the doc and tries to help her with the analysis. She leans in close to the goop and activates her goggles.

Medicine (t) + Microgoggles to Aid: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17

When she said 'nothing is being loaned' she meant from her offered 350 credits. That left her with a bit of extra cash to convert to batteries. I think Doc covered the loan/donation to Beauregard D. Truthpelt, so you might have a decent chunk of credits left over.

That you would lend a lot of money as needed? Yeah, Yariel doesn't need any more stuff. She has adjusted her credits for anything not used.

Yariel inspects the items and then dismisses any interest in them, "Let's get to the reactor so we can get out of here. Check the [insert room we think will lead to the reactor] next?"

Yariel will spend 300cr (since nothing is being loaned) and make 5 batteries. You can never have enough batteries and who knows the next time we'll be able to buy or make anything.

If anyone runs out of batteries, let me know and she'll toss you one.

Yarial coughs, "A Personal log might shed some information on this place too. Plus, I expect this place will blow up soon enough so collecting personal effects would be wise. If they have families and they eventually wish to collect any personal items we find, we can turn it over then."

She looks down at her computer, "Though, we are running a bit short on time. I don't know how long it will take us to take out the reactor. Maybe just check a couple to see if it is worth it?"

Now she has 4800 to spend so she buys:

Synaptic Accalerator MK 1 (INT) - 1400
Tactical Rotating Pistol - 1900
Starfinder Backpack - 750
Radiation Buffer - 200
Total = 4250

She will donate 350 cr to anyone that needs it and save 200 cr for herself for a rainy day.

That would be very nice, especially considering I bet a few of us have some credits leftover from session 1.

I think all that was included by the GM into the 3k we were each allotted.

I could be wrong though.

Yariel does have a slot on her armor that the radiation buffers could be plugged into, but only has 115cr left over, in theory.

Yariel's purchases will depend on if someone is not able to find something for their last few credits and gives/lends/whatever her 300 credits.

If she has 3300 to spend she buys:

Synaptic Accalerator MK 1 (INT) - 1400
Tactical Rotating Pistol - 1900
Total = 3300

If she does not she buys:
Synaptic Accalerator MK 1 (INT) - 1400
Ring of Resistance MK 1 (Fort) - 735
Starfinder Backpack - 750
Total = 2885 (115 donated to whomever needs it)

Might as well stick with Mysticism.

The Ysoki stands around, grabbing any tools as needed.

Mysticism (t) + Techlore Aid: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23

Yariel, late to the party as usual (last one in rarely gets eaten), moves up to take a look and tries to figure out what all the magical chatter is about.

Mysticism (t) + Techlore Aid: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 = 19

”I just dabble in the magical stuff, but what about Fermi’s theorem?”

Yariel moves up and glances through the door. She is happy to notice that she is also too valuable to risk. It isn’t even patronizing, but more nice to know how much her allies care about her. Even if left unsaid. :P

Waiting to see if any skills are more or less relevant before rolling.
