The Price of Honor

head up there but "someone needs to find away to get rid of these fracking vines!!!"

since we're in "off initiative"

Shivak would like to try something. Use Affect Mind to get rid of the spores (just got to think outside the box sometimes)

"Leave my body forever"

Roll(1d20)+24:

(see if the hunch was right)

"SDX, how do you think the Eldrazi would respond to the sounds of those deep space 'angels'?

Dockmaster, pipe SDX'S com through your loudspeakers and short range com frequencies.

SDX. How's about a battle cry? Let's see if the Eldrazi fear those things... or taste good to them..."

Tarro will reload.

Do the stations main guns take power from this generator?

SDX 51/100

SDX Dismisses the Eidolon (Standard Action).

"Immediate priority navigation to command center. Emulation of vacuum creature potentially valid course of action."

GM - How far to the command center on foot?

ALAN - To clarify, you are suggesting that we attempt to contact the Space Angels as reinforcements? The idea has merit - but remember that we were successful last time because Josh used the Force to make them friendly. SDX only translated.

"The 'angels' know port nowhere well and din't attack it. I'm counting on them to recognize what is probably a natural rival. Call it a Hunter's Hunch."

Shivak tries to compel the spores\vines, which is a great idea, but they are not sentient and do not respond.

The spores react to a specific couple of counter-effects.  I will give you a hint:  each character is capable of at least 1 very mundane (no spells\powers etc) method of neutralization, some have multiple options

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Tarro - orbital guns are on separate asteroids and have independent power supplies, as shown back in "Welcome to Nowhere" (which seems like a year ago, lol)



_______________________________________________________________________________________

SDX - here is a rough idea of the path by foot.  Remember, the main section of Port Nowhere, like most of the other sections, is a retrofitted starship merged into an asteroid.  The main section was a capital class ship.  You guys are deep in the asteroid at the reactor.  You would have to travel back up to the main part of the ship (where the cantina and docking bays are) and then make your way up to the C&C tower.  It would be a long walk, but perhaps you can figure out another option  



____________________________________________________________________________________

Let me know if\how\when you decide to attempt some form of S.O.S. to the Space Angels.  I love the idea

just a couple quotes to refresh your memory on the context.....

In response to Shivak, the bio-luminescent wisps begin to scintillate their color patterns.  They swirl around the Wrenvenge in a wave of 1000s, maybe millions of wisps.



One in particular seems curious about the movement of the red being outside the ship

Celestial (angels and other good outsiders)

"We are peaceful creatures happy to meet you. We are lost and looking for solid matter to rest on. Can you guide us towards a place that will be safe for us?"

The wisps react to the harmonic, almost hymnal, chanting that represents Celestial.  They pulse and oscillate their luminescent lights in a definite pattern.  SDX is able to determine that they are understanding his request and responding as best as they are able.

"Ever try shaving with that lightsaber?"

I'm afraid that getting the angels involved may prove to be too complex. We may be able to attract them with the correct use of language and light color, but how to tell them which is friend and which is foe?

I can "teleport" us again with another summoner's surge. We probably want to get up there asap.

Real quick GM -

SDX will attempt to speak to the spores using "speak with animals".

Random thoughts on killing the spores. Exposure to light, vaccum, water?

Out of Combat round 2

SDX, Shivak and Sharn take 3 damage from the spores\vines

The reactor has come online

There are no further threats in this room currently.

A holocall comes over the comm station by the reactor, it is the Dockmaster

navyik wrote:"Ever try shaving with that lightsaber?"

  "all too easy"

SDX - attempts speak with animals on spores, but there is no response

Sharn

Tarro

Shivak - attempts Affect Mind on spores, but there is no response

re: Space Angels - you have a shared language, I think Alan's idea assumes they would recognize the Eldrazi as a threat on their own

yeah, sure, try the saber on 'em

whit10 wrote:yeah, sure, try the saber on 'em

Ok, Shivak can do this in "out of combat" rd 3, since he has already acted in rd 2

from PF: The spores can be destroyed by....... if not shaved off before then.

The vines wither and die on the floor after being shaved off.

+1 for Tarro


Tarro and Sharn can still act in rd 2

thanks for the idea Tarro

When Shivak has the opportunity to do so... he will reach out with the force to try and contact the Space Angels using Telepathy (using Surge and a Hero Point - +8 bonus for the HP)

Surge Point:

Roll(1d6)+0:
4,+0
Total:4

Roll(1d20)+12:
15,+12
Total:27

That's the Telepathy check.... "we need your assistance"

Worth a shot

Ok, Telepathy is a single thought only, so I think "Help!" would convey the same intent as your stated message. DC for Telepathy is based on distance, with a 27, SHivak can contact a being in the same quadrant\region of space.... nice roll!

again, this will be in a later "out of combat" round (really only ~10 seconds later)

Sharn and Tarro can still act in rd 2 if they want

Sweeeeettttt

Assuming we are all spore/vine free now?

that was just for Shivak's vines. The GM will have to chime in about the rest of you. I can certainly try but I don't know if a roll will be involved

MAS wrote:Assuming we are all spore/vine free now?

Rob emailed me last night and told me that he is dropping out of SW at least for the time being. If I recall, he works in retail and his schedule is crazy over the holidays. I will run Sharn as a support-heal bot.... unless someone else wants that job?

Sharn uses a blade to scrape the spores\vines off his body. (rd3)

SDX - you can use your rd 2 action to physically remove them from yourself, if you have a blade or some kind of tool. Or ask someone else to do the job, like maybe Tarro

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Out of Combat rd 3

Shivak - Telepathy to Wisps
Sharn - scrapes off his vines
Tarro -
SDX -



Dockmaster, "Reactor is online, jump destination plotted....... is it safe to jump?"

"Affirmative Dockmaster. We need a visual on the command center as soon as you're ready for us to move."

navyik wrote:"Affirmative Dockmaster.  We need a visual on the command center as soon as you're ready for us to move."

Dockmaster: "Most of the cameras have been destroyed in the fighting, but there is a small work station that appears intact and clear of Eldrazi .  Jakarro and his few remaining men have built a barricade near the turbo lift to the command tower, but they are being overrun.  Hurry!"




Shivak receives a telepathic reply from the red wisp that had been eyeing Tarro.  Shivak cannot understand the words, but he recognizes the hymnal chanting from when they spoke to SDX.  Shivak feels a sense of peace.  

A small group of wisps appear around Shivak, drawn to his connection with the Force.   They cast Aid on everyone.

Everyone receives 10 temporary HP and +1 attack rolls\saves vs fear



Soon the entire party hears the hymnal chanting, as if a choir of thousands were all around Port Nowhere.  There is a loud, strong note like the call of a trumpet that startles everyone.  It is both a rallying call and a warning to enemies at the same time.

The party feels Port Nowhere jump into hyperspace, as if following the trumpet as a cue.

 Everyone has 1 full round to buff\heal\prep.  

SDX - choose a location around the work station for the party and we will begin the next fight.

Ok, Shivak did a heal self check that nets him 1d8+4 vitality

He will heal himself once again this round.

Roll(1d8)+4:
7,+4
Total:11

2nd heal self check:

Roll(1d20)+16:
14,+16
Total:30

2d6 +6 HP regained

Roll(2d6)+6:
5,4,+6
Total:15

So, starting at 49 this round (and taking into account the 3 HP for using Telepathy) Shivak is currently at 72/100 (82 with the Temp HP)

How long has it actually been rounds-wise? He may need to do another Enhance ability check

Sorry, Heal Self can only be used once per hour for HP (vitality) or once per day for Ability.

If you follow the thread, there have been 3 total "out of combat" rounds that have passed + 1 "buff" round at the end of which you will zone into the new map and roll initiative.

So it will be 4 total rounds by the start of the next combat. There are a lot of effects that will need to be checked, I will try to track current duration for each at the start of combat or you can calculate to see if something needs refreshed.

well, fuckity fuck fuck... then ignore that last heal check.
HP total is 57 then (67 with the temp ones)

I am going to run Sharn as a support\heal bot for the party, unless someone else wants to do it

Sharn would cast Bless, but it is the same bonus as Aid, so it doens't stack

Does anyone need healing?

Shivak could use one more healing attempt. He's going through HP for force skills rather quickly

SDX could use a heal!

He will use an out of combat round to scrape the vines from himself with his manipulator arms, and a borrowed knife if necessary.

Are you giving SDX a buff around in addition to the "teleport" he'll be casting?

He'll use his buff round to use the "cure light wounds" wand again.

UMD =
Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +22" :

6 + 22 = 28

Cure light wounds

Result of the throw of dice "1d8 +5" :

8 + 5 = 13

SDX scrapes off his spores\vines - no further effect

Sharn scrapes off his spores\vines - no further effect

Yes, SDX gets 1 buff round too

Ok, since a couple people requested healing, Sharn will Channel the Force for a healing burst before you teleport

Roll(5d6)+0:
6,3,2,6,2,+0
Total:19

everyone gets 19 HP!

I still need people's relative positions around the work station before you zone into the larger map

Thank you for the HP!
