Since 3-2E was part of the convention, we can now roll for boons
nope
Here goes...
That's Lem! First game ever of PACG OP (and, indeed, any PACG besides the Obsidian port) was 3-1A!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
As an FYI I'll be out of town this evening through Sunday evening (EST, -5GMT). I should have intermittent access to Hangouts for questions but won't be able to make post updates. Hopefully you can still get a few turns in before needing an update!
Boooooons...
nope!
Skill: Int. +1 (for total of +2)

Radillo will start at Thornscrub.

Skill: STR [X]+3

Start at Scorched Ruins
3-3A summary
Redgar/Radillo - Int+1, Spell 3
Redelia/Seelah - Str+1, Ally 2, Armor B (boon for second deck upgrade)
Greenclaw/Flenta - Str+1, Item 3
Marjim Marc Arafiles/Adowyn - Dex+1, Spell 3
Boon =
Power: Hand Size 6 [x] 7
Upgrade: Blessing 2 or Spell 3, whichever my other teammates don't want. :) if a roll-off is required.
Thoughts for a spell upgrade:
Existing spell list:
Augury
Acid Arrow
Force Missile 1
Force Missile 2
Frost Ray
Sphere of Fire
Ice and Fire
with a Spell 3, I could:
a) upgrade Augury to Scrying (or swap out a combat spell for additional dig);
b) upgrade a combat spell to Volcanic Blast (Arcane +3d6, evade if fail); or,
c) snag the Marrioinette Spell 2 (Arcane +1d6, +2d6 and ignore immunities if Construct,
I'm feeling like Scrying is the way to go; swapping out Force Missile 2, maybe?

A blessing would be straightforward. BotG becomes Blessing of Pharasma.

FYI - I will not have computer or internet access starting Sept 14 until Sept 25. You'll be welcome to continue playing during that time until you need a new update post.
Note that currently for the Gameday Session 2 I see one of our SoPlundered characters signed up. We'll need to pause this game during the Special unless different characters are used.
Note that I may be getting an extra table still from the waitlist. So we may be needing to pause anyway. I'll let the group know as soon as i know about that.
All sounds good to me.
Ditto!
Just a heads up that I will be heading out on family vacation from this Saturday 29 Sep and returning on Sunday 7 October. My posting will be irregular at best during this time, if we end up continuing through into the Special timeslot.
I'm still fully available for the next 5 days though, so once we know what the plans are for this table during the Special, happy to discuss how to handle Flenta's temporary absence. I'm happy for her to be botted if needed if I don't post quick enough, or any other suggestion.
Hey all, I'm back!
It looks like it is Adowyn's turn. I know they said they were having trouble due to the weather. Since we technically were on pause while I was away I will give them a day before I bot their turn. I hope they are okay!!
I did get asked to run a second game during the special. We'll need to put this table on pause so I don't overdo things and because a character from this game has been signed up for a table during the special.
I'd like for us to still try to finish this scenario before we go on pause. I'm hoping we can wrap up before the special starts next week. If we can wrap up before Flenta goes on vacation, even better.
Once we finish this scenario, we'll plan on starting again on Nov 12 after the special has concluded.

Reminder for all - We'll continue this game at the conclusion of AoA special. Around Mid-November. See you then!
The next scenario has a decision to make. We need to support either the Alchemists or Thriae.
The rewards between the two are mostly the same, though one slightly different RPG reward. The scenario rules are different.
DURING THIS SCENARIO
Using the deck list from the Thriae Hive, build a number of Thriae
Hive locations equal to the number of characters. When you close
a Thriae Hive location, do not flip the Thriae Hive card over.
After adding villains and henchmen, shuffle 1 henchman Stolen
Larvae into each location deck.
Each character starts at a different unoccupied Thriae Hive location.
When you discard cards as damage, first choose Stolen Larvae if
you have any.
When you would banish Stolen Larvae or put it into a deck or pile,
shuffle it into a random open location deck instead.
You win the scenario only when all of the Stolen Larvae are in
characters’ hands. (You do not have to defeat and corner the villain.)
REWARD
Each player chooses 1 of her Pathfinder Society RPG characters. That character may purchase potions of cure serious wounds as though their market price were 500 gp.

Zizzira is immune to the Poison trait. All damage dealt by Zizzira is Poison damage.

If defeated, you may immediately attempt to close the location this henchman came from.

When you examine or encounter this card, or discard it from the blessings deck, if there is an open location that does not have a barrier displayed, display this card next to a random such location.
The difficulty to defeat is increased by the scenario’s adventure deck number.
While displayed, the location may not be closed.
When you end your turn at this location, you are dealt 1 Fire damage. When you start your turn at this location, you may succeed at a check to defeat this card to banish it.
I'm also happy with whatever. Alchemist sounds fine.
Flenta will take Blessing for card feat. Will either add the Blessing 2 above if she ends up with that, or BoCaydenCailean if not.
Pass on upgrades, Radillo is happy to be a villain and help the Alchemists.
My skill feat is: Intelligence to +3 (from +2).
I'll hit up Hadden Hoppert again. I'm also not sold on keeping Nefti the Bard as a loot swap, if anyone else wants to take Nefti. I'd still like to take GotAfterlife, of course.
3-3D summary
Redgar/Radillo No upgrade, Int+1
Redelia/Seelah - No upgrade, Spell+1
Greenclaw/Flenta - Ally 3, Blessing+1
Marjim Marc Arafiles/Adowyn - Blessing 2, Blessing+1
Sorry, posted to wrong thread initially.
Radillo passes on Deck Upgrades this time.
Will discount Hadden Hoppert (big surprise, eh?)
Power Upgrade: [x] When any character at your location attempts a check to defeat a monster, you may recharge an ally to reduce the difficulty of that check by 1 ([ ] 2) plus the adventure deck number of the recharged ally, if any.
Picking up a trick I learned from Feiya over in Absalom!
