Starfinder:Adventure Log/2018-07-20

Intro

• Welcome to helpful spinach!
• Some notes on the game:
  • We're trying out the Starfinder HUD character sheet! Mostly, you can click through menus to do stuff.
    • Some stuff (like attacks) will give you a popup in the main roll20 window for choices (full attack vs standard action) -- be mindful!
  • @Dakoyo: you have spells, click the 'Spells' tab next to 'Core' at the very top to see them
  • @Everyone: I didn't put the full details for every spell & ability in the sheets, so you will need to refer to the rules http://www.starjammersrd.com/
  • You all have many arms. You can hold multiple things, but you still only get normal actions.
• A notes on skittermanders: They're obsessively helpful!
  • Take two minutes and read the bios on your character sheets! (sorry badables)

Picking up from our stopping point...

• Your vesk boss Nakonechkin employs you all for his salvage company. You found a ship floating in the depths of space & your boss boarded it for inspection prior to salvaging. He then failed to respond when you tried to check in with him.

Suspecting trouble, you brave skittermanders jumped into action -- literally jumped from ship-to-ship -- to go and help your boss out!

Aboard the ship, you found refugees hiding in a bar. They mentioned an AI going berserk. When you repaired the bartender robot, an outside force possessed it and forced it to attack because it wasn't able to provide its expected level of pleasure to passangers.

You send a distress call out, alerting another ship of the crisis and asking for help. The other ship promises to send aid. When you inform the refugees, they cheer and weep!

There was no sign of your boss Nakonechkin with the refugees, so you proceed deeper into the ship. On the observation deck, you find the barrier between our reality and The Shadow Realm had been weakened. Quonx deploys his handy quantum reality spanner -- which nobody else believed in -- to correct this issue with the material plane.

You're still looking for signs of your boss. Perhaps if you progress deeper into the ship...?
