Yoon would really really like that Blessing 3. She will add a blessing to the box.
Ooh! I’d like that Ally 3 as a bonus upgrade.
So, in short, Yoon’d really like the Blessing 3. If she doesn’t get that, she’d like the Ally 3. If she gets the Blessing 3, she will take herself out of the running for the Ally 3 (because she doesn’t want to be greedy).
Oh! And Yoon will increase her hand size as a Power feat to 6 cards.
Yoon can have the Blessing 3.
Desired upgrades (any of the following)
- Spell 3 x2
- Spell 3 Ally 3
- Spell 3 Item 3
2-3B
For my power feat, my only choice is hand size.
I'd like some combo of Spell 3, Ally 3, Item 3. I got 2 spell 3s last time, so if there isn't enough to go around, I'll forgo that.
It looks like Salim's top choices would be...
Salim
His power feat is to upgrade for 1d4 to 1d8 for his non-combat checks against banes.
I didn't expect an Ally 3 to be drawn. Very well. As mentioned in my previous post, Ally 3 becomes my primary preference, followed by Blessing 3. I've other card upgrades I can take, but they're all low-priority.
Hah! Very low rolls on my 1d1000s; looks like I'm taking the Item "3", what else?
Anyway, at least the Blessing 3 card I stole from the blessings discard pile won't go to waste!
So, if we hand out first deck upgrades, it would be:
Yoon: Blessing 3
Salim: Ally 3
Balazar: Spell 3
Ezren: Spell 3
Urgraz: Item 3
That leaves the following for the bonus upgrade:
Ally 2 (x2)
Ally 1
Ally B
Armor B
Item 1
Item B (x2)
Spell 2
Spell 1
Spell B (x3)
Weapon 3 (x2)
Weapon B (x2)
Blessing B (x3)
Urgraz and Salim both wanted a Weapon 3, so I think they get that.
I think I'd take an Ally 2.
I'll take the Spell 2 as my bonus upgrade, if possible.
I'm going to assume I have the ally 2 as a bonus. I'll drop Alaeron and add Grogul. If someone else wants that ally 2, then I'll go back to Alaeron.
For the spell, I took Mistform and dropped Invisibility.
Congratulations khazkhaz!
Let me know which of the 3 rewards you would like.
The scenario intro is posted, and note that this one has some *very* quirky rules. Finalize upgrade choices, choose starting locations, make any loot substitutions, and draw your starting hand.
I'm taking Season of Tapestry’s Tides Reward #3
I’ll assume that I have the Spell 2 as my other upgrade to go with my Blessing 3. Deck list posted soon.
Finalising my upgrades.
Spell 3
Fly > Create Spiked Pit
Blessing B
Blessing of the Gods > Blessing of the Spellbound
Since I don’t think it was officially stated before:
Ally 3: Evangelist; removing Sharper
Weapon 3: Disrupting Rapier +1; removing Flaming Scimitar +1
Power Feat: [X] Add 1d4 ([X] 1d8) to your non-combat check against a bane.
Suggested Turn Order: Ez; Urg; Baz; Yn; Sal
If Yoon decides to stay at the Garrison, start Salim at Catacombs.
Setup is posted! Ezren still needs a starting location, but he's first to go. (And then if Hawkmoon could also adjust the turn order in the database?)
As mentioned in the hangout, I've created a page for each character on the party tracker spreadsheet. Copy columns C-E from your page into your deck tracker's "DON'T LOOK". (You may want to create a backup copy of your current deck tracker's card list so that you can revert quickly after this scenario.)
Columns F-G list the traits and card texts so that you will know what your cards actually do!
Note that the sets of 5 random boons at the top of scenario updates may inadvertently include some of the player boons. If you needed a random boon and get something from a player's deck, just ignore it and go on to the next.
Please don't hesitate to ask if something seems off. This is definitely a convoluted scenario. Thanks again for your patience as this got set up!
Notsomuch.
Next Scenario Turn Order: Same as before but starts with Yoon.
The database is down, so I don't have the next scenario intro ready yet.
In the meantime, determine your two upgrades, roll your d20s, and reset your deck trackers.
Nope

I’d like that Ally 3, or the Spell 3...
That’s a likely ‘nope’ for those as well. I’ll figure out what else I want (the other upgrade) soon...
Random upgrade assignments:
- Balazar: Ally 3, Item 2
Ezren: none x2
Salim: Blessing 3, none (or Blessing B? Was interpreting that as you didn't want the Blessing B if you got the Blessing 3)
Urgraz: Weapon 3, Spell 2
Yoon: Spell 3, none
For the nones, let me know whether you'll be forfeiting the upgrade, or whether you'd like anything of the unclaimed. (Which currently are Spell 2, Spell 1, Ally 1, any B)
Yes for me!
Official Upgrade for Salim:
Blessing 3 - Blessing of Eternal Rose to replace BotG.
Yoon will take one of the Spell 2s as well, if available.
Spell 3: Swapping Fan of Flames for Kinetic Blast
Spell 2: Swapping Cure for Cauterize
I'm not interested in anything. You can pick two of the highest deck number cards left after everyone else and record them for me (for that crazy "build a temporary character using the rewards you other character has earned" situation).
Scenario intro is up!
Choose starting locations and make any desired loot substitutions.
Not many upgrades, but lots of rewards! Lots to keep you busy until I get ahold of the next adventure:
Role card, card feat, power feat, upgrade choice, d20 roll.

Upgrade hierarchy:
Given our ruling on when Tier can take effect, Balazar can take an Ally 2 if he wants and Yoon can take Spell 2 if she wants.
For Scenario 2-3D: A Fungus among Us...
Urgraz banished Desecrate and The Asmodean Disciplines during the scenario, and will need to be replaced.
For Urgraz's Card Feat, he checks of Spell [X] 3, maxing his potential spell count.
Urgraz gains a Die Bump, bringing himself to a total of 3 die bumps.
Urgraz Tiers up to Tier 4 and chooses the Tyrant role card, his new character sheet is listed below. Urgraz chooses the following Power Feat from his Role card:
"[X] When another character at your location would banish ([ ] or bury) a card from her hand for its power, you may bury a boon to put that card in your hand."
No deck upgrade desires; Urgraz will take a card of the highest AD# that's not already claimed by anyone else. He will, however, refill his empty deck slots with the following cards.
New character sheet is below.
Strength d8 [X] +1 [X] +2 [X] +3 [ ] +4
Melee: Strength +3
Dexterity d6 [ ] +1 [ ] +2
Constitution d10 [ ] +1 [ ] +2 [ ] +3
Fortitude: Constitution +2
Intelligence d6 [ ] +1 [ ] +2
Wisdom d8 [ ] +1 [ ] +2 [ ] +3
Divine: Wisdom +1
Charisma d4 [ ] +1
Favored Card: Weapon
Hand Size 5 [X] 6 [ ] 7
Proficient with: All
Powers:
You may discard the top card of a character at your ([ ] or any) location's deck into her discard pile to add 1d6 ([X] +1) ([ ] +2) to your check.
When a character at your ([ ] or any) location is dealt damage when you fail a check, you may increase the damage by 1 to draw a card ([ ] or by 2 to draw 2 cards) after the check.
You may discard ([X] or recharge) a card to ignore the Corrupted trait on a card you play until the end of the turn.
[X] When another character at your location would banish ([ ] or bury) a card from her hand for its power, you may bury a boon to put that card in your hand.
[ ] When you would be dealt damage, another character at your ([ ] or any) location may be dealt that damage instead.
ADDITIONAL REWARDS:
Die Bumps remaining: 3
Note that Urgraz has a strong reason to generally stand at other player's locations, and he requests permission to technically bot for other players; he may wish to hand them a spell, have them use it, then return it to his hand with his power. This may involve Closing checks, due to Desecrate, but I can wait for people to handle it themselves if they prefer - I will try to telegraph such strategies.
By the way, this can allow Urgraz to re-use other spells that normally could not be re-used, such as Charm Person. Have them cast by someone without a magical skill, then he'll draw it into his hand.

Random upgrade assignments:
Balazar: Item 3
Ezren: none
Salim: Armor 3
Urgraz: (Ally B or Blessing B)
Yoon: Spell 2
Intro is posted! Finalize choices and let me know starting locations.
Mark me down as Blessing B, thanks. :)
Did anyone wind up with the Item 3 upgrade? I think Balazar decided to pass on it. If so, would Yoon, Ezren, or Urgraz want to claim it?
Otherwise, I think we just need a starting location for Ezren.
Yoon definitely wanted it. She just needs to say what it is.
If no one else wanted the item 3, I'd take it. But Balazar and Yoon had claim to it before I did. If I do end up with it, I'll replace my Spyglass, which is what I've swapped out for Wand of Enervation right now. So, I'd just replace the spyglass but still leave my new item set aside for Wand of Enervation for this scenario.
I wanted the Spell 2, in fact. I thought that Balazar was going to take the Item 3.
I wanted the Spell 2, in fact. I thought that Balazar was going to take the Item 3.
I realised that Balazar has more need of the items I currently have, so I gave up the Item 3. Sorry for the confusion.
Also, it's a little debatable as to whether you see the monster drawn by the Warrens or not, though I think we're playing that you don't get to see it. Either way, it wasn't a Hill Giant - that Random Monster was already drawn by Balazar into his hand during his turn with his summoner-magics.
Oops, thanks for the catch. Fortunately, the next random monster (Myriana) was a Combat 14, so didn't affect anything.
As for whether the monster added by the Warrens should be known or not, I think I might risk disagreeing with Hawkmoon? I'm skeptical about interpreting the link he provided to mean that random cards from the box default to being known. Because that would imply that the random blessings when a villain escapes would also be known- yet I've never seen that done.
For reference:
When you encounter a monster, put a random monster from the box on top of another random open location deck.
If you defeated the villain, count the number of open locations, subtract 1, and retrieve that number of random blessings from the box. Shuffle the villain in with those blessings, then deal 1 card to each open location and shuffle those location decks.
It seems like Ezren wound up with that Item 3 upgrade from last scenario? Let me know what it'll be.
I personally don't look at the monster added to the Warrens. I'm just noting that you can make a case that it would be ok to do so. (I don't look at the blessings either.)
I'll look at my cards in the morning to tell you which one it was I was going to take.
[...] I think I might risk disagreeing with Hawkmoon? [...]
**GASP**
I'm skeptical about interpreting the link he provided to mean that random cards from the box default to being known. Because that would imply that the random blessings when a villain escapes would also be known- yet I've never seen that done.
I would agree with you; when playing on a table I will always keep cards from the box hidden if they're moving from one facedown deck into another facedown deck if I'm able to. There's meaningful differences between a pile being faceup or facedown, generally, such as "draw a card from your discard pile" (faceup, so you choose which one) or "draw a card from your deck" (facedown, so you pick the top one).
However, to play Devil's Mazmezz's Advocate, nowadays a lot of effects actually do require you to look at blessings from the blessings deck (at least) before moving/drawing/shuffling them anywhere, because it can otherwise break the game when villain cards or Favors from the blessings deck end up in places where they shouldn't be. A handful of Wrath of the Righteous scenarios ended in that, which led to players coming to the conclusion that the only meaningful way to avoid some of these situations was to look at each blessing to make sure they were blessings.
But it doesn't line up with how I envision 'random' cards, that's for sure.
Wayfinder is my Item 3 card.
