Starfinder: Attack of the Swarm pbp

[haldir]

Ok, note the retcon in the newest DM post. I spaced off the acid immunity. Also, I'm not sure the attack would have hit anyways as the creature do get a AC bonus for being attached. The hit with no effect thou sounds better.

since Ratticus is still near Gustav he will shoot the dredger on Gustav

19+2 (-2 for the shaken i think) Damage is 7 EAC

 

Pip will also take a shot at the closest dredger as it is threatened

15+2 (can AI be shaken?) Damage is 3 EAC

 

that would be it

Drones have Construct Immunities and the Unliving Template.

 

Construct Immunities (Ex)

Source Alien Archive 4 pg. 153, Alien Archive 3 pg. 150, Alien Archive 2 pg. 149, Alien Archive pg. 153
Constructs are immune to the following effects, unless the effect specifies that it works against constructs.

Bleed, death effects, disease, mind-affecting effects, necromancy effects, paralysis, poison, sleep, and stun.

Ability damage, ability drain, energy drain, exhaustion, fatigue, negative levels, and nonlethal damage.

Any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect works on objects or is harmless).

 

So if the Shaken is from an mind-affecting affect then I don't think so.

It is. As I was trying to remember the Universal rules for monsters I came across the thing for fear bonuses & such. The adventure says the Shaken is from a mind affect this time around as well.

Alright, no more going prone for Vith, even if he is carrying the equivalent of the 50 cal!

[Zero Prime]

I think I eff'd up!  The melee attack should have been against #1, not #2.  Sorry!

[ferret]

@haldircould you recheck the damage on the dredger attached to Gustav.  I think Gustav previously did 3 then Ratticus and Pip did 7 and Gustav did 2 this turn for a total of 12.

You're right. I spaced off Pip's attack.

@haldir Any chance my last attack hit #1, as it's the one I'm in melee range with, and is currently not attached to anyone?

This one is attached to Doc, so no your attack will miss it due to the attachment. (+4 to AC)

Ok, first off, apologies for the delay. Second, Sunday morning I came home from work, ate something & then we went to the store for the week's groceries. I wasn't feeling well before that but while there, my vision was blurry & I didn't have any peripheral vision, as I felt like I was walking around with flashes in my eyes. I hung on to the cart, & I could walk around, but eh not a feeling I want to experience again. I felt a bit better after we left but I still felt like crap. I came home took some Advil as I had a splitting headache. I fell asleep but woke up like an hour later & was sick. It wasn't a sick/flu kinda sick but sick to my stomach sick + I still had that ear splitting headache. I also had a heartburn feeling in my throat which for some reason felt like I couldn't breathe right, so I was worried about that. I tried looking on the forums just to get my mind off my stomach & it was a good thing the board has dark mode as I couldn't even look at the site in normal mode. After a bit I was able to go back to sleep  after I took some antacid tablets but they weren't fully working.

 

I had set my alarm to off an hour before the Winterhawks game as it's their last road game & I wanted to listen to the game, but I just wasn't in the mood. I did go downstairs for dinner but I couldn't eat as I was still feeling the same. I was starting to get worried about going to work or at least not passing the temp check machine so I could go to the work. After dinner I came back upstairs & it was then I had to rush to the bathroom as I threw up whatever I ate that day. Not to go into the gory details, but it was a very dark brown, I have no idea what I ate that cause my stomach to churn as bad as it did but after throwing up, I felt hell of lot better. I still had the headache & I still had a little bit of the heartburn feel but the tablets actually work.

 

I promptly feel asleep till I had to get up for work. I felt warm but I figured my walk to work & working in the freezer door first before the temp check will help regulate my temp & it did as I passed the machine. Oddly, one of my more higher temps (97.6 IIRC, normally I'm around 95 to 96). Overall last night at work was bad for my head as I still have a lingering headache but I could actually move around & get things done. I feel allot better today & decided to work on some models & primed my mini for my weekly AL game.

 

I'll return to this game tomorrow morning after I get home from work. It was pointed out there might be some confusion in the HPs of some the dredgers so I need to look at those & make sure I've got the correct totals, but other then we should be back on a regular schedule.

Get better, this is a game.

[Kangaroorex]

@haldir Please take care of yourself!   It's Just a game and it can wait.  Dark vomit can be serious.  I would get yourself to an urgent care and get yourself checked out!

 

Please take care of yourself!

Right!  Game can wait until you are feeling better so you can enjoy it.

[Zero Prime]

100% agree with everything that's been said so far.   Real life comes first, and your personal health trumps everything.  Period.  No exceptions.

 

Take care of yourself!  Us internet geeks can wait to play soldiers and space invaders.

Thanks everyone!!

 

After I threw up that day, I felt 100x better then I did. It must have been that cold chicken strip or something, but it could have been a combination of things I ate at work  too. I had some trail mix & a grape Powerade that morning/night. So who knows. All I know is the headache has finally went, as has the heartburn feel (that part mainly went away once I upchucked everything....).

 

Again, I wanna keep this as a regular posting. PbP lose their momentum when there is no posting & I really like the overall feel of the game so far + I treat my pbp like I would a weekly game.
