| | [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri]] steadies herself against the bolder in front of her and carefully aims //(Aming)// at the nasty-looking [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]] //(Specialist)// directly in front of her. Its head separated from its body as it fell over the railing to the ground below. |
| | |
| | [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:khivrak_varna|Khivrak]] takes aim (Aiming) at the [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#b|Big Bad Guy]] up high on the ledge once more. Once again her shot glances off what must be some type of armor. Stunning the [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]] once again //(2 Stuns now)//. |
| | \\ \\ |
| | |
| | === Enemy Actions Phase === |
| | The [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#b|Big Bad Guy]] moves up to the edge of the ledge again //(Stunned so only 1 action. 1 Stun marker comes off.)//. The remaining [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husks]] meander toward the nearest crew member but are unable to engage. |
| | \\ \\ |

| | === Slow Actions Phase === |
| | [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]] moves and takes up a covered position next to the closest obelisk. She takes aim //(not aiming since she moved)// at the closest [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]] and opens fire with her [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#s|Shuriken]]. A 3-round burst obliterates its chest sending it to the ground. She takes aim at another [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]] nearby and sends another 3-round burst its way. One round found its mark //(missed the defense roll)//, just enough to slow its progress and make it stumble backward //(stunned)//. |
| | |
| | [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:phil|Phil]] moves up next to [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri]]. Weapon at the ready. |
| | |
| | [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] takes aim **(Aiming)** at the [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#b|Big Bad Guy]] up high on the ledge with his [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#v|Vindicator]].

She Aims and fires her [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#v|Vindicator]] and just misses. \\ |

The first 3-round burst found its mark and sent the [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]] to the ground. Spinning around to find the next [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]] to kill, knowing it was a long shot ([[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]] out of range but in the open. +6 to hit), [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]] fires her second 3-round burst at the [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]] and missed badly!\\ |
| | |
| | [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] moves up closer to an approaching [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]]. Draws his [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#k|Katana]] and fires both barrels at the [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]]. The first shot misses wildly but the second shot found its mark and sent the [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]] to the ground.\\ |
| | |
| | [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:phil|Phil]], anxious for action, moves closer to [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]] where another [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]] is slowly making its way. |

| | [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]] moves into position behind an obelisk and aims her [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#s|Shuriken]] at the one remaining [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]]. Her first shot goes wild but her second shot was true and she takes out the remaining [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husk]]. |

| | With the [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husks]] defeated [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] tells the group to spread out and look for survivors. Unfortunately, the entire 6-man salvage crew was accounted for as casualties. [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:phil|Phil]] managed to get the access door open but quickly closed and disable the door. The area beyond the door was crawling with more [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#h|Husks]]. \\ \\ |
| | |
| | "Our job was to learn the fate of the salvage team. We've done that." said [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]]. "Look around quickly for items of value and meet me on the [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#k|Kodiak]] in Five.\\ \\ |
| | |
| | |
| | [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:khivrak_varna|Khivrak]] looks around and finds a single [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#c|Colwrath]] plant. She was promised credits if she found one and returned it to an [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#e|Exotic finds]] merchant //(+2 credits from her Exploration during the Assign/Resolve Crew Tasks step)// in [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:new_karnak|New Karnak]]. \\ \\ |
| | |
| | [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]] snags a [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#c|Credit Chip]] with 1 [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#c|credit]] on it laying on the ground close to a deceased scavenger //(Notable Sights - Shiny Bits)//. "It might NOT be his." she thought to herself. \\ \\ |
| | |
| | [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:phil|Phil]] discovers a long-forgotten individual at the bottom of one of the staircases. He pulled an [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#o|Omni-Distractor]] //(Gather the Loot step)// out of his broken [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#o|Omni-Tool.]] He also finds a medallion //(Battlefield Finds - Personal Trinket)// with the initial "JEO" on the back of it. "Perhaps I can find its rightful owner at some point." He thought to himself as he slid it into a zipper pocket on his uniform. |
| \\ | \\ |
| \\ | \\ |
| //**NOTE**: The Experience and Character\\ | The flight back to [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:new_karnak|New Karnak]] was a somber one. Each crew member's thoughts turned internally. [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] pecked away on a console providing [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:people:captain_angelico_haymore|Captain Haymore]] with the mission details.\\ \\ |
| \\<<INSERT CHARACTER UPGRADE INFO HERE>> – The Storyteller// | |
| | Once complete, [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] turns to face the crew. "Hey, guys, we did a job and got paid. That salvage crew knew the risks going in just like we did. I hate it for them and their family but it's the risk we take doing this work."\\ \\ |
| | |
| | "Speaking of work." he continued. "I am sure that this is not the last time we will face [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#r|Remnants]]. [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri]], Once we're back in [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:new_karnak|New Karnak]], make contact with your merchant friend and get us some more firepower //(Purchase Items step - 2 * [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#a|M-8 Avenger]], 1 * [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#s|M-11 Suppressor]])//. We need everyone to have the ability to "reach out and touch someone" when necessary.". I'll take care of it [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:valeri_snee|Valeri]] said. \\ \\ |
| | |
| | "[[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:narira_vajin|Narira]], [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:phil|Phil]] we're getting you some help. You can keep your pistol as a backup but your main weapon will be an [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#a|Assault Rifle]]." [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] said.\\ \\ |
| | |
| | Touching down in [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:locations:new_karnak|New Karnak]], "Get some practice with it before our next mission if you need to." [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:characters:lars_pine|Lars]] said. "I'll see everyone aboard the [[:adventures:starbound_reckoning:dict:start#s|Starbound Reckoning]]." |
| | |
| | \\ |
| | \\ |
| | //**NOTE**: Each character earned 3 - 4 XP for the successful mission. No one has enough to increase any stats but I will lean towards increasing their Combat score the first few times they have enough XP to spend. A +1 could have made a big difference on more than a few attacks. Fortunately, the basic Husks all had pistols and they were so far away, that was the key to the battle. \\ \\ |
| | |
| | This was a tough battle to run. Not only has it been 6 months since I ran a game but it's my first time running it on a Virtual Tabletop. Foundry VTT is an awesome application but if you're not playing your "standard" D&D 5e or Pathfinder game system, cobbling together a working encounter is tough. Hoping the next one will be a better experience. – The Storyteller// |
