Awesome sauce. Aric will likely take the promotional armor as well as the scorpion whip.
It’ll be fun to battle Urgraz - he’s a companion of mine in a different game that I’m in!
Before the scenario you can visit the same traders that you've had before. Also note that the adventure deck number has increased to 2, and the scourge die has changed to 1d6. I've added the specifics to the campaign info tab in case you need to refer to the curses.
On the bright side: that cursed first-overkill-of-each-turn rule is gone! (But there's still a hefty penalty to using blessings in some situations. Blame the antipaladin.)
I assume you all choose to level up to tier 2, which means this scenario will count as the first game of tier 2 for advancement purposes, and you'll each get a skill feat (if you succeed).
Aric would still like to visit Falsin Deek’s place.
Seeing the available locations for this scenario, I would strongly urge that we avoid the Ghoul Square until last so as not to pepper other location with undead monstrosities.

You can get your chronicles for the first adventure in this folder here. I would not be surprised if I made errors, so let me know if you need anything changed.
I also realized that I never passed on the Society Initiate documents for Gimry and Eslibedesh, so those are in there too.
Ira kroll gave advance notice about being away on Monday and Tuesday (until tomorrow). Would you all prefer I advance the turn to give the first turn to Enora instead of Celeste so you can begin the scenario? I also don't mind just waiting, as it's not really that long.
I'd be fine with you choice, BR.
Enora did her her turn, I was there while she was putting it together. We were doing our turns concurrently and she told me she posted it, so I just posted mine without thinking about it. She must have forgotten to hit send or the publish failed for some reason. Hopefully it's still sitting on her computer. :( Luckily nothing she did effected any other location. She just explored the top 2-3 cards of her location.
Unfortunately neither of us will be home until later this evening to check
Oloch, I don't understand your logic at foregoing the temp close attempt.
Your acquired Stoneskin spell seems the perfect opportunity for your temp close. You have 6 cards left in your location - I wouldn't call that thin.
I simply think we want to limit locations where the villain might escape to.
My reasoning is this:
I actually only have 3 cards in my location, there hasn't been an update since my turn and I went through 3 cards on my turn. My plan is to use the Stoneskin for the Perma Close so I don't have to bury something useful for that.
We still have lots of time left and already will have 2 location closed if you beat the villain. If this was for the Victory, I would for sure go ahead and close it, but since it's just a temp close I don't think it will actually hurt us that much.
I'll go with the majority here though, if Celeste wants me to burn it for the close, I will be happy to.
@Enora: You could have used my BotAncients or one of Celeste's two blessings for the temp close.
@Oloch: I think knowing where a villain is can be very powerful. I think you should temp close your location.
I think we need to discuss things better as a team. Can I suggest a Google Hangout to do so? It works very well for my other games.
(I'd need everyone's email addresses - yours, too, BR!)
Don't forget in this scenario that using a Blessing to add a die causes you to discard the top card of your deck.
Good point there.
I've got Elinnea (our BR) and Oloch in my Google hangout. Can I get an email address for Enora and Celeste?
Or.....Enora and Celeste can join by following the below link:
https://hangouts.google.com/group/akDflj6ktJWQaYux2
Cool? Cool.
Hey BR, do I get a hard copy of my boon that I won? I chose the Unconventional Firepower boon.
Or.....Enora and Celeste can join by following the below link:
https://hangouts.google.com/group/akDflj6ktJWQaYux2
Cool? Cool.
The link doesn't show the group. I will PM you my email address for G. Hangouts.
For the boon, you do get a (pdf) hard copy, but I think the folks running our convention are collecting all the winners and distributing them as a group later. I added you to the reporting document, so it’s recorded that you should receive it. I might be able to get yours earlier if you need it sooner for some reason.
No worries! Just looking over my documentation this morning and noted that I didn't have it. I'm happy to wait.
@Aric if you're waiting for me to bury the spell before you continue, then consider it buried so we can move on.
@Oloch: I wasn't waiting for you to bury it. I apologise for holding the game up; life got busy - I'm back now.
Wow. That's a lot of 1's.
These are the cards I have as acquired:
Pahmet Clansman (Ally B)
Tarworks Master (Ally B)
Porcupine (Ally B)
Filter Hood (Armor B)
Blessing of Horus (Blessing B)
Blessing of the Elements (Blessing B)
Blessing of the Ancients (Blessing B)
Blessing of Nethys (Blessing B)
Blessing of the Ancients (Blessing B)
Crowbar (Item B)
Smoked Glass Goggles (Item C)
Flash Freeze (Item B)
Stoneskin (Spell 1)
Cure (Spell B)
Locate Object (Spell 1)
Explorer's Staff (Weapon C)
Flaming Spear +1 (Weapon 2)
In addition, if you are using this scenario for your first advancement credit of tier 2, you each get a skill feat.
(It's possible to choose not to advance to tier 2 until after this scenario, which is why I phrase it with an "if". But I'm guessing you probably want to.)
Also it's another chance to roll for a convention reward...
If that's not enough to win that amazing Weapon 2, then Aric will likely take a Blessing upgrade.
As far as his Skill feat:
I didn't realize I was supposed to let the Dwarf live! :)
Grats on the new weapon Aric!
I'll dig through my cards to see if I want to take the scenario reward.
I'll take a Strength skill feat.
I'll update later if I'm taking any new cards.
Awesome! I'll swap the Kama for the Menacing Backsword +1....oh so sweet.
I will take a Spell 1 upgrade (Scorching Ray for Dazzle)
I will take an INT skill feat.
I'll switch out my Hammer for the Ooze Falchion +1 and as a reward for dismissing the evil worshipper of Mazmezz, Gorum will reward me with a Blessing of Gorum (I'll take a Basic Blessing upgrade)
As much as I would like to start the next scenario, I will be away until Tuesday night.
I'm getting on a plane tomorrow and will be away until October 12, with spotty internet access that entire time, so I won't be able to start the next scenario at this point anyway.
I'm just waiting for Enora's upgrade choices so I can add the scenario we just finished to the reporting document.
I shall take the other Spell 1 upgrade.
For my skill feat, I'll increase my Charisma+1.
Nice rolling! You have the choice of three Gameday rewards for Season of Tapestry’s Tides (posted on the previous page of discussion).
Just pinging this group. Were we going to continue this adventure?
I think everyone is caught up in Assault on Absalom at present, but I thought the plan was to return to this once the special had concluded.
I thought we were continuing after the 12th.
Glad to see you're all still around! I just got home from travelling last night. If everyone's ready, I can start up the next adventure as soon as tomorrow, when I'll have time to set it up. I also wouldn't mind waiting for the special to finish if that's keeping you busy.
It is keeping me busy - I'd like to wait if it's possible until the special is through. Is that ok with everyone?
I'm willing to wait. But....
Waiting sounds good. I'm personally not participating in the special so I can start up whenever but waiting is no big deal.
We generally move pretty slow due, so I would hope we could start back up sooner rather than later. Eslibedesh generally has only been able to post once a day for a while. However, I know Dinketry is running a box in the special, so I can understand him being busy.
The Assault on Absalom special is wrapping up (I think? Right? I'm not actually involved myself) so how are we doing? Would you like to pick up with adventure 2 of the season?
Yep! Wrapped up this week. I'm ready whenever everybody else is.
Ready
I'll post the setup for the adventure so people who are ready can start looking it over and thinking about traders and starting locations and such.
I'm leaving out of town until Sunday night, but might be able to post starting location and (possibly?) hand over the weekend. I'll be able to jump in Sunday night.
I'm available.
So I realized that from our last game before the break, Eslibedesh qualified for a gameday boon but never told me which one you want. Could you pick one so I can finish off the reporting?
The three options are listed here, for reference.
Oh shoot you are correct. I'll take the third option, thank you! I am now back in town and available to start.
I'm waiting on everyone to face their smuggler before I take my actual turn....
Oops. I assumed my weapon had the Attack trait. Silly me.
Looks like Enora should get another weapon because her check on the Torch was equal to the difficulty. Also, her hand looks incorrect after her turn. (I've informed her of both of these)
I'll take my turn in a bit, but do you want a heal Celeste? Looks like you have 2 cards left (3 after you recharge your elements for Enora)
