Dragonstar: Deep Space Campaign, Part One: Taken

[Velenne]

Assuming I still get a turn in Rd 1

Mossaka's face, seeing Horatio point the weapon near him, shows a brief moment of shock, then grows fearsomly nightmarish. Innocent eyes narrow into slits and expressive lips pull back into a snarl. It is the beast at his most horrific -growling, muscles tense and ready to pounce.

As the shot issues, it takes him a moment to realize that Floppyhat missed. The sound of a body thumping to the ground greets his small ears and he looks behind him to see the squiddish bear melt away. Floppyhat saved him!

Still in Kill-Mode, Mossaka scans the area around him and sees more of the creatures. The drogre blindly charges the closest and lays into it with the full display of slashing claws and teeth.

Sasaki Kojiro

Same tactics as last time. Shoot any creatures not in melee with boomstick, or charge with Katana if in melee with friends.

 

[Mirth]

Seeing the result of the shot from Horatio, Banwyl refocuses on one of the new creatures and fires again. Most impressive! I can only imagine how this thing would help with keeping the peace... the arbiter thinks to himself.

 

[Calim]

Horatio looking at the now gone sqear (Squid-Bear) after just one shot is amazed he points again at another this time taking into account for others who might be around if he misses. And aims and tries to fire before they can get into melee.

 

[Mickerus]

Barely pausing for breath, Kaalek continues his spellcasting, this time casting corrosive grasp on Quarrop to deliver as a spellray.

Quarrop will continue to use his ray of frost until the corrosive grasp is cast.

 

[Elrick]

DM: Before I resolve this round I need to know which Psionic Defence Mode Horatio would use if attacked psionicly.

 

[Calim]

Well I thought it was on my sheet but i got defenses i just got to put them on it. First defense would be Tower of Iron Will. then empty mind.

will fix sheet when i get home from work

Tenos (Init 24): As the two squid-bears appear on either side of the group, Tenos summersaults out of reach of one the creatures coming to stand next to Horatio. Again his whip lashes out and strikes one of the creatures gashing its hide.

[Atk roll 7 +11 range +1 point-blank = 19 A Hit. 9 Dmg to Creature One]

Horatio (Init 22): Aims and fires again at the closest monster and misses, his blast streaking off into the forest.

[Atk roll 13 +5 range –4 (non-proficiency) = 14 A Miss.]

Banwyl (Init 22): Banwyl takes his turn firing a blast at the other creature but misses as well.

[Atk roll 7 +8 range +1 point-blank –4 (non-proficiency) = 12 A Miss.]

Monsters (Init 21): Each creature roars out and both concentrate on Mossaka as the largest threat and the most easily recognized. Both beast launch a mind blast at Mossaka, Tenos and Horatio are also caught in the blast. Because each creature is across from the other they are also effected.

Mind Blast One DC 16 for Non-psionics DC 11 for Horatio (Tower of Iron Will) DC 9 for the creature (Mental Barrier).
Mossaka Wil Sv 10, Failure he is stuned for 6 rounds
Tenos Wil Sv 12, Failure he is stuned for 5 rounds
Horatio Wil Sv 25, Success he is unaffected.
Creature One Wil Sv 11, Success creature unaffected.

Mind Blast Two DC 7 for Non-psionics DC 6 for Horatio (Empty Mind) DC 0 for the creature (Mental Barrier).
Mossaka Wil Sv 5, Failure he is stunned for 5 rounds
Tenos Wil Sv 13, Success he is unaffected.
Horatio Wil Sv 22, Success he is unaffected.
Creature Two Wil Sv 9, Success he is unaffected.

Mossaka and Tenos reel under the mental assault, Tenos drops his whip-dagger. Horatio however blocks the mind blast with his superior will.

DM: Ehhsh. Psionic Combat is complicated. If I made any mistakes I apologize in advance. I’m going to assume stunning doesn’t stack so Mossaka will be stunned only for six rounds.

Kaalek (Init 10): Kaalek finishes his spell enabling Quarrop to blast an acidic spellray at the closest beast. Quarrop bobs up from behind Kaalek's shoulder and launches a green ray which strikes the monster and sizzles into it’s hide.

[Atk roll 19 +7 range touch = 26 A Hit. 5 Acid Dmg to Creature Two.]

Saskai (Init 10): As Saskai hovers over the battlefield he takes aim at Creature Two with his boomstick, fires and misses.

[Atk roll 15 +3 range -4 (non-proficiency) = 14 A Miss.

Mossaka (Init 9): Mossaka is stunned this round and is unable to act.

Round Two Over.

 

[Calim]

If he has no shot then enact Ego whip on the closest beast, once it attention has been gained start using the bowcaster thing again.

 

[Mickerus]

With Quarrop now providing supporting fire (he should have four shots left with the corrosive grasp spellray), Kaalek quickly begins a simple ritual to reach out into the planes and snatch a formian worker to further occupy creature number two (Summon Monster II).
