[ACG] [CaG] [SoFF] Season of Factions' Favor Adventure 4+ (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkmoon269

I'm playing a different character in the special.

I am using this character in the special. Anyone have time to do an analysis of how long our 3 player games are taking?

Also... it's a question of do YOU want a small break before the special too? ;)

All small break for me might be nice. I'm the ACG overseer, so I'm prepping things for it. But if you want to try to squeeze one more in, that is fine.

I think we usually get through one quickly enough, however, the next one looks like it could be slow. It has the normal number of locations (5 for 3 players).

DURING THIS SCENARIO
All characters start at the Garden of Ossumentals. If your location does not have the henchman Sekrephere displayed next to it, you may not move. You may move only to the first open location on the location list that does not have a Sekrephere displayed next to it.

The difficulty of checks to defeat a Sekrephere is increased by the number of displayed Sekrepheres.

At the end of your turn, if there are fewer than 3 Sekrepheres displayed, recharge an ally or blessing.

To win, close all locations.

I think lets give Hawkmoon a break
Better quality prep for the special :-)
Happy to play again after the special if people are free :-)

Fair enough. We break until after the special.

Concur. We have forced upon you a break! You have no choice!

(Is there any chance we can have some chronicles? ;)

Yes. I thought I was taking good notes, but I think I missed the upgrades from the last 3.

4-4E (fail)
4-4E (succeed)
4-5A (succeed)

Let me know the upgrades you took then and I'll finalize the chronicles.

4-4E (fail): No Upgrade
4-4E (succeed): Ally 2 (Took Ally 3 but actually used it for an Ally 2 for my deck)
4-5A (succeed): Item 4 (Took Item 5 but actually used it for an Item 4 for my deck)

Will post later in the afternoon

Thanks (for the chronicles, i record the card you selected off the table, not what you chose from your class deck).

4-4E (fail) I No upgrade
4-4E (succeed) Spell 5
4-5A (succeed) armor 5 downgraded to armor 4

Rahali

I recorded the actual impact on my deck, not the actual pick.
A lot were higher downgraded as I am 1 tier lower

Thanks for running the games!
This was my first online PCAG and I Really enjoyed it alot!
Allowed me to get my fix even though there is no physical game play around home :-(

Rahali's looks great
Really appreciate your efforts running the box and very happy to play more after the special if you are free to run
Tx

Is everyone ready to start back up again?

Oh yes! Keen to play Rahali again
Hope you had a good time with the special
I haven't played her and currently have the last trader cards in
Do I need to reset her to her base deck?

Yup! Zarlova has experienced a lot of upgrades from the special. :)

Query: From my cronicle sheet I have noted

04-3D Remainder of Path can swap blessing of choice

Does this mean I can go to my Card Box and swap in a Tier 5 blessing or do I get blessing from the Mummy's Mask box?

I'm fine with continuing. I never got a chronicle for 4-5A: Zarta's Assessment but it can be on the new one.

Looking at possible upgrades.

Blessing of the Seventh Veil (Blessing 4) Discard to add 2 dice to intelligence or charisma non combat check. Or discard to explore adding 1 die to those checks.

Rumor has it Eagle Aerie is good. Not sure what I would cut for it.

I don't see what is so good about Eagle Aerie.

The avoiding of end of turn and beginning of turn effects is nice. It's also nice for a healer character to have to go Cure someone without having to worry too much about coming over to the same location (since you can move at the end of the turn just before yours then move back to the location you really want to be at) (Although with how Grazzle works that part of the utility is lost on him since he can heal from other locations anyway).

That would make sense for a Non Grazzle.
I don't think the value is there for Grazzle compared to the other spells he currently has

That reward means you can take any Mummy's Mask blessing and replace a blessing you have in your character's deck when we setup each scenario.

Well Pyrotechnic Blast loses some versatility since there are few locks so I could replace it. spells I could replace it with.

Cloudburst - Divine +3d6 and ignore BYA of non villain monsters.

Find Traps - +2 dice vs barriers.

Tbh there are no exiting spells left for me at tier 5 or 6. A slightly better healing spell at 5 is it.

I'll probably take ally for my next card feat to give me something interesting to upgrade to.

Find traps is SOOOOO useful, I would never trade it out

OK, will look at the MM blessings and see what there is.

I will also do that, swapping out my Blessing of Cayden Cailean for Blessing of Maat. (As much for your benefit as it is mine for remembering. XD)

I will get things set up tonight. Did you want to change the turn order or anything?

No need to change turn order.

Btw Grazzle now examines 2 cards by recharging a divine card so I'll be doing that more often.

Ohhh, found this

Blessing 5
Divine~Undead~Pharasma
Discard this card to add 2 dice to any check that invokes the Undead Trait.
On any check, after the roll, bury this card to allow a character to roll her wisdom die and add or subtract up to that amount from her result.
Bury this card to examine your location deck, then shuffle it.
When you would bury this card for its power, if the top card of the blessings discard pile has the Pharasma trait, discard this card instead.

I am thinking to try this instead of Maat.

Also the card we have to swap out to fit the blessing in, does it have to be a blessing or can it be any card type?

Maat looks versatile.
Blessing of the Lady of Graves is interesting. The wisdom thing mostly just helps Zarlova. +2 dice vs undead would be relevant but we are all casters so Pharasma does the same thing.

Wisdom is still a +/-1d8 for Rahali. More swingy than +/-3, however higher average and the ability to apply an exact movement e.g. roll 6 on the d8, can modify up to 6 if you need to hit an exact number
I was also thinking the examine the whole location could be interesting if I see the blessing early (love scouting :-) )
I think I will try LoG this scenario and then go back to Maat if it is no good.

I just double checked and I think the reward Raheli is looking at is from Plundered Tombs. It doesn't apply to this table because we are playing Factions' Favor.

Taking the usual loot.

Fire Snake (Eruption)
Wand of Detect Magic (Mythopoeic Sphinx)
Djinni Quarterstaff (Mace of Ruin)
Druid of the Flame (Maftet Hunter)

Hi Hawkmoon

I looked it up. It is factions favor, 4-3D: A few good punches.
Have PDF on hand if you want me to send it to you

Ah. Ok. I missed it. Ok. If you completed that one, then you are good.

Rahali - 4-5C: THE STARS ALIGN

Cohort

Traders

Zarlova
Let me know if you want any of the loot I choose. Happy for you to have them instead and I can make different choices

Trying to remember our turn order

1 Zarlova
2 Grazzle
3 Rahali?

Is this correct?

That is what is listed in the turn order but I don't know if it is correct.

OK, do you want to go next Grazzle or do you want me to so you have more to heal on your turn?

Our turn is in the database. I want confirmation on what the order is. I'm not too worried about which of us goes next.

OK

Hi Guys

Was just rereading the scenario rules

DURING THIS SCENARIO
At the end of your turn, if there are fewer than 3 Sekrepheres displayed, recharge an ally or blessing.

HENCHMEN
Sekrephere:
While displayed, when you end your turn at this location, recharge a blessing or an ally; if you cannot, put this card facedown on top of its location deck.

My interpretation of how the game play goes is
- Find and Defeat Sekrephere
- Display Sekrephere
- End of Turn
- Do Sekrephere end of turn check - Recharge Ally/Blessing
- If you can't, Sekrephere is returned face down to deck
- Do Sscenario end of turn check - Recharge Ally/Blessing
- If you can't, nothing happens

If we can it it this way it means you need to keep at least 1 Ally/Blessing in hand AFTER you defeat a Sekrephere but you don't need 2

Do you guys interpret it the same way?

FYI, Posting will slow for me from this point on for this weekend. We are having a Holiday Party for our local Society lodge and it is the whole weekend, so bot me if needed!

I am happy to wait until Zarlova can surface for posting

No time constraints on my end. I have a busy weekend too (I'm at PAX Unplugged), but i can update in the evening.

Hope you have a great time!

Guys,
If you have any doubt about a combat use the staff of curses to reduce difficulty by 1d4+4
I can do it twice.
Or if you have no chance even with the above, you can do a box swap of the monster or evade and top deck (evocation staff)

Hopefully will have a post in like 4-5 hours.
