"Good job Doctor!" Keskodai radios. "Now it might be a good idea to avoid the lobby since that's where the guards might be posted. Doctor, can you see if you can open the door I marked with the blue arrow on the schematics. Also, see if you can reroute any triggered alarms if a guard does trigger one in the course of our exploration. Thank you!"
The cheery shirren uploads the map of the complex with the blue arrow. He also draws a red arrow as an alternate proposed route through.
"Iseph, if the good Doctor is able to unlatch the doors leading to the elevator, we will need to move around the building to get to them. When we do this, we will need to check the door for alarm triggers."
Iseph listens to Cupi and Keskodai and starts to action the plan.
He opens the door and starts sneaking to the elevators and checks the surroundings.
Gidget waits a full 20 count before entering the building. Given her heavy armor, stealth was not her preferred mode of entry.
She draws her rifle and makes her way towards the elevator.
I’m going to remind everyone to use the slides to show me where your characters are going.
Creeping past the open office space, Keskodai, Iseph, and Gidget move towards the central offices with (presumably) Cupi following behind. (Raia can join if she wants?)
Entering the room is relativly easy, and inside you find a rather poorly maintained office. There is a computer terminal that looks like it has been bludgeoned to death with something large and heavy (Anyone with Engineering is sure this could not be repaired inside of several days of dedicated work) There has been obvious damage to the floor and surrounding walls, and there appears to be the remains of a VERY badly smashed datapad on the floor, along with several empty energy drink and alcohol canisters. On the window Sill is, strangely, a small plush animal of a spider, with some writing on its belly. It appears to be the only undamaged thing in the room.
Following allong. "Is that an arachnananny? she whispers.
Moving through The central hub, it readily becomes apparent that this circular area was once some much larger room, possibly a showroom or an entryway. However, it has since been cordoned off into smaller offices.
As Iseph opens the next door, they notice a office similar in setup, though a lot cleaner, than the one they just came from. Notably, however, there is a Drow in there reclining in his chair, eyes wide, staring directly at Iseph. There is a beat for a second before everyone jumps into action
Roll for initiative.
Alright, as long as no one is too upset by the idea.
Which makes the initiative count:
Iseph: 14
Gidget: 13
Cupi: 10
Nar'Daa: 10
Keskodai: 10
Surprised Drow (Malindeil, not that you know that) Guard: 6
First up is Iseph. If you want to get in early, post your action, and then maybe a spoiler for your next action depending on variables, if you feel like moving this along.

Cupi, seeing the scene, quickly moves in and quickly hacks the Drow's comm device quickly hacks the Drow's ranged weapon.
Iseph draws his pistol as fast as he can and shoots at the Drow.
Keskodai steps inside and, seeing the situation, moves his hand and whispers a silent prayer to the Lady of Graves. "Forgive me Drow person, but it may be your time to go. I wish you well on your journey."
His mind reaches out and touches the other's, probing for psychic defenses. Then his mind attempts to overwhelm his enemy's crushing brain matter inward.
A shot rings out as Iseph draws his gun and plugs a round into the Drow's Center of mass, wounding him. Unseen to everyone but Cupi, the comlink on his arm sputters for a moment, but the larger take away is
The Drow putting his hands to his head and unleashing an ungodly scream as blood starts to run from his nose, before his eyes roll back into his head and he collapses into the chair, dead.
Meanwhile, you hear the distant sound of a shot. Over the comms you hear Nullira (your driver/scout/assassin on lone from Zeizerer)'s voice. "Front guard heard something and looked like he was going to investigate. I took care of him, that was your one."
Still in rounds:
Iseph: 14
Cupi: 10
Keskodai: 10
Nar'Daa: 10 <--Here in initiative order
Gidget: 5
Surprised Drow (SUPER dead)
"Copy that," NaDarr answers the drow. Her antennae quiver breifly. 'Do you think others heard something?' she asks her party telepathically.
Then she moves into the room and up to the next door. She listens through it, hopefully determining that the way is safe.
|
NaDarr runs over to the next open door in the line to find . . . another drow hurridly fumbling with his Gun.
He looks up and sees you.
(Drow's Turn)
He moves to get a clear shot as he readies his weapon, and fires off a blast from his Laser Rifle
The Laser blast hits the Lashunta square in the chest for some damage.
Meanwhile, the door nearest Gidget opens and another wide-eyed drow, longarm in one hand, stares at her in disbelief. It seems as if he used his move action to get to the door, and move action to open it.

Gidget plugs a round right into the Drow in front of her, which would have provoked an attack of oppertunity, but luckily the Drow's Tacklash is still on his belt and not in his hand. She hits him in his center of mass for some damage.

Iseph moves and shoots with his pistol at the drow that attacked NaDarr.
Iseph stealthily moves into the room and plugs a round into the drow. It seems for a moment like he would have missed, but his stealth allows him to find a chink in the armor.

Keskodai sighs as he hears gunfire and Gidget shouting in the other direction from where the rest of the group was heading.
I suppose there's always one rogue member.
He whispers a similar incantation, walkding through the next doorway and reaches out with his mind to crush the drow's mind.

He whispers a similar incantation, walkding through the next doorway and reaches out with his mind to crush the drow's mind.
In a startlingly similar manner to what happened to the other Drow, the dark elf drops his weapon and grabs his head, letting out a terrible howl of pain before collapsing to the ground in a heap, dead.

Still concerned that the noise will carry too far along their intended path, NaDarr pulls out her baton and strikes at the drow that shot her.
NaDarr gasps at the noise her rattling baton makes.
As the fight ends in the tech room, the final remaining drow and Gidget face off against each other in the doorway. He throws caution to the wind and simply readies his laser rifle with a swift action and opens fire.
(Cannot full attack because he had his hand off the gun to open the door, so he needs a swift action to ready his weapon again.)

Cupi hefts the rifle onto his shoulder, obviously awkwardly and aims at the Drow. He then prepares himself to hack the Drow's weapon as he is about to attack with next.
Gidget and the drow, standing half a foot apart, aim their respective rifles at each other and start emptying energy clips into each other's armor. Both of their armors seem to hold, however, and the entire exercise seems to accomplish very little.

Iseph moves towards Gidget and shoots with his pistol at the drow that is standing in the door.
Iseph darts in from the door, completely catching the Drow by surprise. Unfortunately, in his efforts to make sure he doesn’t hit Gidget, his shot goes wide.
However, in a strange turn of events, the drow’s Gun starts speaking in Drow.
And his gun powers down, much to the surprise of the Drow holding it.

Keskodai moves back to see where Gidget has engaged the other drow. He whispers another incantation: "Sorry about this other-drow-person. I wish you luck on your journey as well."
His mind reaches out to crush the last enemy's mind.
A lot of journeys today. I wonder what the Lady of Graves will think of my use of these gifts?
The Drow staggers back a half step, clearly reeling from the mental assault, but still somehow on his feet.

Draw gun to drop the drow.
The drow’s eyes dart around and find no exit from his confined office. He curses in Drow, then takes a hand off his gun and uses it to pull his taclash. He the. Proceeds to try and cut down Gidget.

The poor drow gets an attack of opportunity on Gidget for firing a weapon into melee
Before he goes down in the second shot.
On the bodies you find an assortment of credsticks totaling some money (added to your chronicle sheet). Each drow body also has some Drow heavy armor (same stats as Lashunta Ringwear 1), A Taclash, and an Azimuth Laser Rifle. They each also have 3 spare batteries (in addition to the batteries in their Laser Rifles.) These are the 20 charge batteries.
"The drow of ancient Golarian had a veneration of scorpions. Oh wait. No that was a different world-built-around-the prison-of-an-ancient-evil."
This laboratory is filled with all manner of technological innovations. Scents both sweet and acrid pour forth from cylindrical glass containers on two long tables. The containers bubble in a rainbow of varying colors. A limb that looks like a giant scorpion’s claw twitches idly on the floor at the north end of the room. You recognize that the twitching claw is a failed 'fleshwarp' experiment. Dangerous biotech that can augment creatures into crazed abominations. This claw, however, is harmless as it hasn't been grafted onto an individual while it was still viable.
NaDarr takes an extra battery pack and attaches it to her belt.
Keskodai helps search through each of the rooms. He cannot speak drow, so the funny lines on the computers mean nothing to him.
"See," he holds his son's pod out so the youth can observe the computer. "That's a different language. Look at the harsh lines. Likely drow, but we don't know that one yet."
He looks at the holoprojector and shrugs as well, not well-versed in the culture here to know what he's looking at.
"Well," he says after a time. "Shall we continue to the elevator? We can use the codes we were given."
Satisfied that they have collected all the spare batteries and ammunution they need, NaDarr heads to the elevator. Iseph & Doctor Cupi, can you disguise the car's ascent (descent?)
