Reeling from the savage goring from the undead mammoth, Thoriel staggers and prepares herself for the inevitable strike from the spectral rider. Closing her eyes, she braces for its cold touch, expecting she has danced her last dance.
Instead of blackness, however, her mind is filled with light and warmth, as she finds herself standing in a sun-bathed field of purple orchids that grow as high as her waist. Suddenly filled with hope and a fresh burst of strength, she opens her eyes once more to find herself weakened but somehow still alive as the cold blade slices through her.
Expending one use of Shield of the Sun Orchid boon as immediate action to add 3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4) = 11 hit points.
"Always a pleasure meeting a man who can focus on two things at once." Thoriel lets out a short laugh at the leering creature's wandering eyes and the banter between him and Amestra. "...and who is also so proficient in the highest form of humour...satyr! Speaking of jokes, I remember one. 'Why do satyrs like playing flutes? Because their horns don't work!'" she smiles through another short burst of laughter. "Although from my experience, most are all too keen to prove that they do!"
Aid Diplo:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
"Seriously, though, do you live out here all on your own? Have you seen anyone else passing by lately?"
Thoriel sighs. "Men like these always promise so much, but in the end their performance is almost always disappointing!" The agile magus continues to dance around the nearest incubus, her blade a deadly blur of motion as she strikes at it again and again as she spins.
Flenta stares up at the hulking, three-eyed monstrosity with its four wings, ten limbs tipped with blades, long pointed horn, and shining black carapace.
Her first instincts are to turn and flee, but she looks from side to side at her friends and draws courage from them. Linxia rushes into to take on the monster head to horn, with magical assists from Radillo.
Flenta quickly charges her sword with a charge from one of her wands and sends her magical mace flying ahead of her charge. She then runs full speed under the beast and swings her blade up into its soft underbelly.
The creature's black blood bursts out in a spray that covers Flenta from head to bare feet, and splashes over her nearby companions. Quickly rolling out from under Ulunta to avoid getting crushed under its corpse, the little halfling jumps back to her feet and wipes her face clean to reveal a proud smile that stretches from ear to ear. "Well, that wasn't so hard after all!"
OK, let's try this again. It is the hour of Achaekek. Start of turn location power: 1-Flenta, 2-MM, 3-Zova: 1d3 ⇒ 3 Force Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 Aspect of Dinosaur reduces the damage (forgot that last time). Explore Shrine to Norgorber.
"Not so fast, ladies!" A heavily armored and armed woman steps forward from behind the shrine and snarls.
Paralictor Valeria Asperixus:

Before you act, Paralictor Valeria Asperixus deals 1d4 Combat damage to you.
If the check to defeat has the Fire or Mental trait, the difficulty is increased by 5.
If Valeria would be defeated, reroll the dice. She is defeated or undefeated based solely on the results of the second die roll.
If defeated, you may immediately attempt to close the location this henchman came from.
It's the last straw for Zova, who snaps. Charging forward in a feral rage, the shifter fends off the woman's defensive thrust and launches a breathtaking series of slashes, headbutts and kicks at the woman.
Armor is shredded, then flesh and bone. Panting, covered in blood, but looking a little bit more sedate, Zova sighs. "OK, now can we go back to the ship? I'm starving!"
It is the hour of Achaekek. Start of turn location power: 1-Flenta, 2-MM, 3-Zova:1d3 ⇒ 3 Force Damage:1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1Discard Monkey for damage.
"By the gods of land, sea and air, let's be rid of this place!" Zova's mood has been soured by the beatings she's received and the evil aura permeating this place. She turns on her heels and heads back to the ship in a huff!
Banish Blessing of Ketephys and Blessing of Kelizandri to close the location.
I could have missed her being moved off turn, but I think Flenta should be at Shrine of Infinite Void and an Elemental Treaty should be displayed there. If I have it right, then I think that should put another card back on top of that location.

The incutilis burst forth from the water, a mass of hideous tentacles that seem a mix of squid-like appendages and the more blubbery appendages of a massive jellyfish! Its flesh pulses beneath its crimson-streaked flesh like a grotesque alien brain.
Zova isn't daunted by the monstrous creature, however. Instead, it recoils in surprise as the young shifter morphs into a squid-like creature herself. She charges at the monster, diving into the water and lashing out at it with her own tentacle-like arms.
The fight is over almost before it has begun, incredibly with Zova victorious. She emerges from the water, dripping with slime but with a wide grin on her face. "Nothing like a quick dip to get the blood racing."
"CAAAAAAW! I have to get mark too? CAAAAAW!" Lonan caws from inside his comfy cage, sticking a talon out through the cracks, apparently ready to receive his mark there.
Seldanna just ignores the bird's clear grab for attention.

Poison Damage:1d4 ⇒ 3Discard Giant Raven, Reed Mocassin, Monkey, Fire Gecko
Another vrickin' vrykolakas comes forward to attack Zova. This time the young shifter sprouts wings and a long beak filled with jagged teeth. Of all the horrific tortures committed down in this pit, nothing quite as gruesome is likely to have occurred here as the savage dismemberment that Zova inflicts on the monster.

"I don't think we'll be seeing any more of these things!...Huh? What's that look, Flenta?" Zova shifts back to her usual form and wipes the blood and chunks of rotten flesh from her mouth with the back of her sleeve.
"Nasty things!" Seldanna joins in the magical harassment of the slothspawn, casting into a existence a mass of writhing black tentacles to fill up the room.
I've placed a copy of the 20' radius spread where Seldanna's Black Tentacles spell is cast. Should catch all of the slothspawn except dark blue.
Off turn: Sea Scourge check. Recharge Aspect of the Monkey to add Survival skill. Fortitude 8:1d8 + 1 + 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 1 + (1) + 6 = 13

Poison Damage:1d4 ⇒ 4Discard Norgorber Cultist, Vrykolakas, Angelstep, Wendifisa Spear. Flenta needs to deal with some poison damage as well.
Zova joins Flenta at the evil shrine. A hideous creature approaches her, slinking forth on bent limbs and gnarled claws. The twisted abomination resembles a starved, plague-ridden ape, with pallid skin stretched over knotted bone. Milky eyes stare blankly at the young shifter, its mouth opening wide to reveal razor-sharp fangs.
Not wanting to get close enough for hand-to-hand combat, Zova reacts quickly, sending her spear flying in an arc towards the horrifying fiend. The spears hits the beast in one of its milky eyes, piercing its head in an instant. It staggers forward for a moment then collapses face down in a spray of dark blood that splatters both Zova and Flenta.
Banish Blessing of the Green Faith and Blessing of Ketephys to close the location. End Turn. Reset Hand to 7.

"My half an hour will go to my familiar...if that's alright with you? It'll give me a bit of peace and quiet, if nothing else. I might even get to finish my book if he takes up the full time."
Seldanna lets Lonan out of his cage and the raven eagerly flies over to the red and blue parrot. The pair fly off together into a nearby room.
The parrot's calls echo out into the foyer. "SQWAAAARK! Who's a pretty, girl? SQWAAAARK! Who's a pretty girl?" From the excited, high-pitched CAAAAWS coming back from Lonan and the screeched compliments about the shape of her tail and the fluff of her down, it seems that she's the pretty one, at least as far as the raven's concerned.
Seldanna helps Fendel match as many wafers as they can and agrees with the plan to destroy the rest. Lonan needs to be kept securely locked in his cage, however, as the hungry raven seems intent on gobbling as many of the tasty looking wafers as he can stuff into his beak.

Flenta gets a bad feeling. Probably something to do with the ominous looking eye carved into the wall of the obelisk and then outlined with dried blood and soot. She tries to disarm its evil magic...but her tricks and basic wands are no match for the powerful and ancient curse.

Lonan turns to see his mistress frowning at him from across the room and comes flying back to clamber back into his cage. "CAAAAAW! She want half cup of sunflower seed to ruffle my feathers! CAAAAAW!!"

As they arrive at the inn and Mvumbu gets dispatched off to the stables, Lonan hops off the big hippo's back. Before he flies over to his mistress once more, he reaches down to pick off one last tick for good measure, using it to wipe up the last dregs of chutney from the bowl resting in the middle of Mvumbu's wide shoulders.
"CAAAAAW! See you for breakfast! CAAAAW!" he calls back to his new friend as he flies back to the witch.
Lonan lets out a startled sqwawk at Kiboko's suggestion, turning to look in dismay at his mistress before whispering something into Seldanna's ear.
With a huff, the young red-headed witch looks up from her book and passes on her familiar's message. "He's not usually short for words himself, but he says that if you spread a bit of that chutney over there on your beast's back to spice up the ticks...then you've got a deal!"

Type: Monster

To Defeat: Combat 13
Damage dealt by the Sea Devil is increased by 2. If defeated, you may immediately attempt to close the location this henchman came from.
A young woman with extremely fair skin, long red flowing hair and piercing green eyes is the next to arrive. Dressed in a long forest green robe with the hood currently draped down over her back, she seems to radiate a dark energy despite her youthful and attractive appearance. A large raven sits perched on her shoulder.
She looks around the group quietly and takes a seat, opening up an ancient looking book and staring to read.
"They're not Prakriti's, are they?" asks Kasumi as the circular hallway she trapped her in leads the oracle back to them. "Speaking of which-- you doing okay, dear?"
"ඔව් මම හොඳින්. ටිකක් කරකැවිල්ල නමුත් මම හොඳින් ඉන්නම්" Prakriti calls back as she continues to run around in circles like a pet mouse.

The ship starts to creak and crack under the strain of the storm. Zova plugs up a breach with her newly acquired weapon. She didn't really know what to do it with anyway and would prefer to use her natural claws.

The beast overpowers Zova and the sailor, ripping through her thick cloak. Luckily she manages to put just enough power into a bare-fisted swing at the beast that it shambles away, in a bit of a daze. The shifter then attempts to steer the ship away from this patch of sea and readies herself to help the others navigate the storm completely.

Thanks GM. Completely comfortable with that interpretation and yes given Covadil didn't have a full action left to attack with, if he can move 25' (he has 20' base movement) into the affected area, make his save and then continue his movement a further 5 feet to end up back outside the area that would be great.
• At the start of your turn, you may recharge from your hand or bury from your discard pile any number of cards that have the Divine trait, then roll 1d6. If the result is less than the total number of cards that have the Divine trait in your hand and discard pile, summon and encounter the henchman Pure Legion Enforcer.
