[ACG] Season of the Runelords by Maelwys (Inactive)

Game Master Maelwys0

Nok-Nok remembers friend Xoff and how he liked to jump on things from above. He climbs up some gears and prepares to provide death from above if villain heads in this direction.

Banishing Xoff to temp close Shadow Clock.

Grazzle attempts to secure the Throne Room with blessings from Grazzle's allies. Check to Close - Charisma 6: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 6, 4) + 3 = 16. Success!

Turn 27, under Blessing of Sarenrae...

Noting his friends are in position, The Red Raven swings into the Thassilonian Dungeon to end this.

But first, he tries on a stylish Card 1: Cloak of Elvenkind.

Cloak of Elvenkind CtA Stealth 5: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 Success!

Trusting his Blessing of the Spy 1 instincts, he forges ahead (in his dashing new cloak) headlong into a Card 2: Skinsaw Ritual!

Skinsaw Cultist CtD Combat 10: 2d10 + 7 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 5) + 7 + (4) + 2 = 26 Success!

Treat the henchman Skinsaw Cultist as if it has the following additional power: “After you act, each character at your location must succeed at a Dexterity or Acrobatics 7 check or be dealt 1d4+1 Fire damage.”

Skinsaw Cultist AYA Acro 7: 2d10 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 6 = 13 Success!

The ritual here can only mean the villain is masterminding things from here. Charging in with his Blessing of the Spy 2 training in mind, TRR leaps in to once again confrontCard 3: Xanesha!

Sending the singal to secure the area, TRR plunges his cutlass (discarding for die) into the monster,

Xanesha CtD Combat 14: 2d10 + 7 + 1d6 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (6, 9) + 7 + (5) + 1 + (7) = 35 Success!

...then, draw and cuts mightily with the Shadowless Sword in one powerful swing (also discarding for extra die).

THEN Xanesha CtD Combat 17 - 3 = 14: 2d10 + 7 + 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 7 + (2) + 2 + (5) + 3 = 25 Success!

With no where to run, the villain falls, defeated.

UPKEEP:
Thassilonian Dungeon Card 1 banished.
Thassilonian Dungeon Card 2 banished.
Thassilonian Dungeon Card 3 banished.
VICTORY.

Development
By Cayden’s tankard, such blasted luck! Why can’t you catch a break? In the stories, heroes find gold and riches at the end of their explorations, not metal creatures out to kill them. Your rational mind asks why you expected treasure without a conflict, but your heart would really appreciate a break in your current run of bad luck.

Of course, if delving into the mountain were easy, bards would sing many more stories of triumphant adventurers. As your racing heart calms, so do your emotions. Thus champions are made, you tell yourself as you shoulder your pack and carefully walk the curiously well-preserved floors, winding your way back down to the base of the tower.

Reward
Each character chooses armor, ally, or blessing and adds a card of that type from the game box to the cards acquired during this scenario. Adventure Card Guild characters may choose a bonus deck upgrade.

2-3C: Curses! Foiled Again

Adventuring is hard work, you think, stepping into the immense cavern inside the mountain. Perhaps a bit of rest is in order. The contents of your pack weigh heavily on your shoulders. One of the buildings here should give a measure of protection while you get a few hours of shut-eye.

Many of the buildings in the cavern exhibit broken walls or collapsed ceilings. You attribute most of the damage to natural decay, though several of the walls appear to have been damaged by blunt objects being smashed into them with force. Rumors say Runelord Alaznist has an army of giants, and these buildings are big enough to house the creatures. Could be this was their home.

Several hours later, you’ve traversed more than half the cavern but still haven’t located a prime spot for resting. Then you spy a small building set up against the cavern’s edge. Walls and ceiling intact, this could be the place. Your light source reveals a small room with the remains of furniture. Clearing a space for your bedroll, you wrap yourself in blankets and rest your weary body.

While you sleep, several creatures enter. Rags shroud their features. They move silently, voices like whispering breezes. Not that you are aware of the activity, as you remain sucked into the stupor of sleep. You rise rested, only to realize you’re missing key parts of your kit. You look around at the waking forms of your friends, only to see bits and pieces of your gear in their packs and bedrolls. This is no time for pranks! A reddish haze covers your vision as you lurch out of your pallet, intent on your belongings.

DURING THIS SCENARIO
Before setting up, record the contents of each character’s deck. Draw starting hands before building the location decks; if any character has a cohort, add it to her hand.

When building location decks, instead of dealing the cards on each location’s deck list into location decks, deal them into piles by card type (so all of the weapons that would have been dealt into location decks are instead dealt into a single weapon pile, and so on). Then each character deals the cards from his character deck into those same piles, again by card type (so everyone’s weapons that aren’t in starting hands are now in the weapon pile, and so on). Shuffle each pile and build the locations using cards from these piles, then add henchmen to the location decks as usual. Finally, deal each character the same number of cards from each pile that he dealt into it (so these cards, if combined with his starting hand, would again meet the Cards List requirement on his character card); shuffle these cards to form his character deck.

To win the scenario, close all of the locations.

At the end of the scenario, when you rebuild your character deck, first make it match the list you recorded before setting up: put any cards you have that are not on the list into a reward pile, then add back any cards that you no longer have regardless of where they ended up, but do not add back cards that were removed from the game.

Turn 2, Blessing of the Gods

Nok-Nok not happy with thieving thieves stealing his stuffs, he worked hard acquiring that off people he made dead. He stomps into Fort Rannick ready for a fight.

Which is good, as he is immediately attacked by a Faceless Stalker. Stalker was hidden good, so he gets the drop on Nok-Nok and Nok-Nok staggers away with his head swimming from it's ringing blow.

Nok-Nok aims at ugliest one and it sinks deep into its disgusting no-face and collapses to the ground. Nok-Nok remembers wise words of friend Xoff and does a bit of scouting from shadows before charging ahead.

Xoff rearranges so Cleaving Dogslicer (Proxy Weapon 2) is on top, Magic Armor is next, followed by Jinkin

Turn 3, under Blessing of the Gods...

After a while few minutes, Aric grows tired of guarding the Garrison, displays his Gameson and heads inside to preemptively befriend the company. Instead he is confronted with the local Card 1: Jinkin, who does not look amenable to befriending!

Aric ducks into a side alcove, pulling down the Mask of the Red Raven, and the Crimson Crusader confronts the fey.

The Red Raven feels a wave of energy, perhaps anti-magic? pass over him, but he cares not for spellcasting.

That won't help you against me.

TRR raises his Shadowless Sword to strike. He nearly hurls the weapon at the Jinkin, but spots a Bandit hiding in the background, waiting to ambush the winner of this fight. Instead he calls on the power of Abadar to confront the Jinkin and saves his sword to also strike at the bandito!

Jinkin CtD Combat 16: 2d10 + 7 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 7 + (3) + 2 = 14 Well, that was awful. Shirt reroll!

shirt reroll: 1d10 ⇒ 4

(1, 1 4) + 7 + (3) + 2 = 14 17 Success!

The Jinkin cries out and then puffs into vapor. In the obscuring smoke, TRR motions his ally to hang back recharge a card BYA, silently sidles to one side and waits...

Bandit CtD Combat 8 + 2 = 10: 1d10 + 7 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + (2) + 2 = 16 Success.

The Bandit strikes in the place where TRR once was, and instead TRR slays the thief.

While he could root through the Garrison for their stolen gear, it is now secure. TRR would rather make sure all the thieves are dispatched first, then recover their gear at leisure.

Flipping open his Wayfinder, TRR cable-swings in the direction it points and lands looking down at the threshold to the Catacombs of Wrath. From the vantage point his Wayfinder led him to, he can see Card 1: Scimitar on a rack being guarded by a Card 2: Yeth Hound. Swapping his Quick-Change Mask for his notebook of intel Blessing of the Spy, The Raven strategizes a way past both, and descends into action.

[/ooc]

Scimitar CtA Skill 7: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 [ooc]Success!

Knowing the Hound won't be able to resist a target, TRR pauses with the weapon, as if to rest, allowing the monster to come to him. At the end of your move step ([X] or turn), you may examine the top card of your location deck. ([X] If it is a monster, you may encounter it.)

Yeth Hound BYA Wis 6: 1d8 ⇒ 2 Fail!

Turn 4, under the Blessing of the Gods

Myrtle scambles into the magical dungeon, seeking the pixies that stole their gear.

Free Exploration - Card #1: Warlord
Reveal Stone Axe +1 for combat.
Check to Defeat - Combat 9+3=12: 1d12 + 4 + 1d6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + (1) + 1 - 2 = 12 - Success!

Myrtle almost stumbles right into a warlord hiding in the dungeon. She quickly raises her axe and tries to fight him off, and extremely tense battle. Although he's much more masterful with a weapon than she is, and manages to parry many of her blows, she finally manages to get under his guard and strike him down.

Discard Blessing of Nethys to examine top two cards and then explore - Card #2: Shadow. Card #3: Life Drain. Place Life Drain on top and encounter it.
Check to Acquire - Arcane 7: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 - Failed, banished.

Praying to Nethys and continuing onwards, she finds a spell scroll. Judging by the swamp ooze dripping from it, she assumes it came from Grazzle's pack, so she snatches it up. Unfortunately, it seems to have been too damaged from the ooze, and rips at her touch. "Oops... will have to get him a new one of those for him..."

Continuing to explore, she finds the Shadow that Nethys had warned her about. Again she swings her magical axe, trusting in the magic itself to strike him down. And this time, it goes down much more easily...

Draw 2 to reset my hand.

Pausing, she thinks of how much more dangerous this dungeon is than she'd hoped. She digs into her pack to pull out some protective armor... and finds a suit of studded leather that she doesn't remember ever having owned before... those pixies are apparently in this more for the chaos than the thieving. Well, protection is protection, she dons it before continuing further down.

During This Adventure:

During This Scenario: Before setting up, record the contents of each character’s deck.
Draw starting hands before building the location decks; if any character has a cohort, add it to her hand.
When building location decks, instead of dealing the cards on each location’s deck list into location decks, deal them into piles by card type (so all of the weapons that would have been dealt into location decks are instead dealt into a single weapon pile, and so on). Then each character deals the cards from his character deck into those same piles, again by card type (so everyone’s weapons that aren’t in starting hands are now in the weapon pile, and so on). Shuffle each pile and build the locations using cards from these piles, then add henchmen to the location decks as usual. Finally, deal each character the same number of cards from each pile that he dealt into it (so these cards, if combined with his starting hand, would again meet the Cards List requirement on his character card); shuffle these cards to form his character deck.
To win the scenario, close all of the locations.
At the end of the scenario, when you rebuild your character deck, first make it match the list you recorded before setting up: put any cards you have that are not on the list into a reward pile, then add back any cards that you no longer have regardless of where they ended up, but do not add back cards that were removed from the game.

Turn 5 under the Blessing of Lamashtu...

In seeking vengeance, Grazzle finds a Blessing of Desna - a weak, pinkskin goddess. "Power is power, especially for you.". Check to Acquire - Divine 5: 1d8 + 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + (1) + 6 = 8. Success!

Grazzle knows power is meaningless when others can sow such chaos, so Grazzle discards the newly acquired blessing to explore again. Truly it is so, for Grazzle finds Grazzle's stolen Blessing of Sivinah. Check to Acquire - Divine 5: 1d8 + 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (7) + (4) + 6 = 17. Success!

"The Lizard Gods flow through you." Grazzle pulls forth their power, discarding a Blessing of the Gods to push deeper into the Shimmerglens. A Mystic Inscription, tempting Grazzle with promises of power, glows upon a hidden tunnel. Grazzle Sees only doom down that path, so Grazzle moves past; the inscription vanishes as Grazzle does. Banish the Mystic Inscription when undefeated.

Irritated, buzzing with divine power, and spoiling for a fight, Grazzle sends the Archer that somehow came with Grazzle ahead, discarding the ally to explore. The archer screams as an undead, incorporeal, nymph emerges from a tree. "Her name was Myriana in life; in death, she seeks only rest." Summoning forth a fire that sears Grazzle's skin , Grazzle throws flame at the ghost. Check to Defeat - Combat 14: 3d8 + 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2) + (4) + 6 = 23. (Charisma die + Cauterize + Create Mindscape + Divine Skill). Success; spell auto-recharges and shuffles. Grazzle takes 1 Fire Damage - discard Djinn Quarterstaff). Grazzle discards Heat Metal and heals 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3. Grazzle's power burns the ghostly nymph into nothingness, then heals Grazzle's skin even as it burns.

"Your quarry masks themselves. Move forward." With a hiss, Grazzle takes a moment to rest instead.

Turn 6, Blessing of Gorum

Nok-Nok sees weird floaty man guarding the fort thanks to Xoff's sneak training he ponders options and decides floaty man must die so he can continue to look for his stuff.

Discarding Dogslicer, finesse weapon, and will allow me to examine and encounter a monster if it is next. Going to just burn through the location hopefully.

Jinkin-CtD: Combat 16: 1d8 + 1 + 2d6 + 2 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (8) + 1 + (1, 3) + 2 + 2 + (4) = 21 Defeated, banished, not taking the check to close

Dogslicer works just as well on floaty men as dogs, Nok-Nok muses. And then prepares to fight again as he hears the patter of feet running this way to investigate.

Dogslicer examines top card and finds Goblin Pyro for Nok-Nok. Revealing Chakram for combat.

Goblin Pyro-CtD: Combat 8: 1d8 + 2 + 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (4) + 1 + 2 + (3) = 13 Defeated and banished

Nok-Nok hides in the shadows and then throws his chakram at the Pyro, it connects solidly and the Pyro goes down, but not before whipping a torch at Nok-Nok. The torch scores a hit but it is a slight touch and will heal quickly.

Taking a point of fire damage by recharging Blessing of Bastet.

Nok-Nok prays to find his stuff and then heads further into the fort.

Discarding Blessing of the Elements to explore.

Prayers to himself are very effective as he soon happens on Old Salt who disappeared in the night. He's locked up but Nok-Nok can free him!

Old Salt-CtA: Cha 7: 1d8 ⇒ 5 Or not, banished but he's adv 1 so it doesn't matter.

Nok-Nok races forward and starts to charm the lock, but Old Salt sees him and halts his attempts explaining that he wants to atone for some stupid crime and that this is his just reward. Nok-Nok explains it's better to act like a Goblin would and ignore those pesky morals but the Old Salt remains set on his course. Nok-Nok leaves stubborn man to his fate.

Turn 7, under Blessing of Torag...

Given the name of his location, Aric opts to keep to the shadows and let The Red Raven do his job at the Catacombs of Wrath. TRR spies a Card 1: Werewolf in the nearest room, and stashes his newly acquired Scimitar in exchange for his Quick-Change Mask, in case there are any surprises. The Shadowless Sword should make quick work of this beast.

Werewolf CtD Combat 13: 1d10 + 7 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + (3) + 2 = 20 Success!

TRR reaches for his intel report and instead finds a jar of slime. Remarkably, as he opens it, the slime oozes off with surprising alacrity and somehow beckons him to follow with a makeshift pseudopod. It pours itself into a small chest next to a bier and the chest pops open unsettlingly, revealing a Card 2: Spyglass.

Spyglass CtA Perception 4: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 Success!

Claiming the spyglass, TRR peers down a dark, crossing hallway. I one direction appear to be a number of shambling bones, making up a Card 3: Skeleton Horde. Down the opposite path is a single, but possibly more dangerous, figure of a Card 4: Ghoul. After looking both ways, he stashes the Spyglass, and finds someone's Armor of the Sands in the top of his bag?

Damned bandits.

Pushing it down into his bag, he draws a scroll of intel reports on these tunnels (Blessing of the Spy) should he need further guidance. exchanging cards in kit during examination.

Opting to take out the single target first, TRR hands off his torch to his friend's ally Vreva Jhafae so he is free to explore killing this creature.

Ghoul CtD Combat 11: 1d10 + 7 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + (6) + 2 = 23 Success!

Figuring it best to clear the threats on either side, rather than pushing on in a direction with a horde at his back, The Raven turns back to the skeletons, this time making the Shy Ratani hold his [s]beer[/b] light.

Ancient Skeleton CtD Combat 8 +3 = 11: 1d10 + 7 + 1d8 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (7) + 7 + (2) + 2 + (2) = 20 Success!

The living bones shatter back to death, raising an angry wail from further down that corridor. Following the mapped path in his intel reports Blessing of the Spy to explore, The Raven races down twists and turns to reach a chamber dominated by a furious Card 5: Jinkin.

Jinkin CtD Combat 16: 2d10 + 7 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 7 + (3) + 2 = 17 Success!

The Red Raven makes a few tactical errors in their duel, almost as if this Jinkin learned from The Raven's battle with the previous Jinkin, but the crusader is a persistent fighter and remains victorious.

Hoping to secure this path of escape from the bandits, The Raven puts down the Jinkin, but with it out the the way, the resident undead hope to reclaim it instead.

I shall put you all down, filth.

Wrathful Sinspawn BYA Wis 6: 1d8 ⇒ 4 Failure!

Wrathful Sinspawn CtD Combat 9 + 1 = 10: 1d10 + 7 + 1d8 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (7) + 7 + (7) + 2 + (8) = 31 Success!

TRR is not expecting the attack, and the Sinspawn gets the jump on him, making the battle more difficult, but he is still more than a match for the creature, and dispatches it with ease.

With the monster dispatched, a moment of peace allows The Raven to ready the Spyglass from his back On closing, you may shuffle an item from your discard pile into your deck, then take a short rest.

Deciding that her old bones can't take all this fighting, even though she hasn't yet left his room Myrtle still decides that it's time to sit down and have a rest.

End of turn, recharge Studded Leather and draw 3 to reset my hand.

She takes off the heavy armor for a few minutes to rest, she's not used to the weight the leather adds. As she sits down she feels something fall out of her pocket and examines it... a magical gem. Pretty sure that this belongs to one of her friends, she decides to hang onto it until they reunite later.

Nok-Nok hear's a clattering of skeletal bones hitting the floor as he turns around in time to see an Ancient Skeleton rush him. He response with sparky chakram to the skull.

Ancient Skeleton-CtD: Combat 11: 1d8 + 2 + 1d8 + 1 + 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + (7) + 1 + (4) + 2 = 23

Ancient Skeleton-CtD: Combat 11: 1d8 + 2 + 1d8 + 1 + 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (3) + 1 + (1) + 2 = 12

Nok-Nok could do this all day, but that definitely eats into exploring and finding of stuff time. Stupid skeletons.

Off-turn, fighting another Ancient Skeleton...

Check to Defeat - Combat 11: 3d8 + 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 7, 4) + (2) + 6 = 23 (Charisma die + Cauterize + Create Mindscape + Divine skill). Success; discard Half-Plate for 1 Fire damage. Then, discard Red Leathers and heal 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3. Spell automatically recharges and shuffles in.

Still finding Grazzle's way through the Shimmerglens, Grazzle runs into Father Zantus. The pinkskin seems genuinely thrilled to meet Grazzle, and asks poignant questions about The Lizard Gods. Check to Acquire - Divine 6: 1d8 + 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (6) + (1) + 6 = 13. Success! Intrigued, Grazzle decides not to eat the pinkskin and asks him to join Grazzle.

Nok-Nok is about to leave stupid skeleton pile when notices one of them had nice dagger. Nok-Nok rummages through to pull out the dagger and examine it.

Bones are brittle and sharp, but Nok-Nok carefully extracts dagger and finds it twin to his own. Smiling he slides it into his belt for easy reach and continues to explore.

Discarding Druid to explore.

Nok-Nok is about to leave when strange man wearing a bunch of leaves and sticks enters the room and hands him a coat that Nok-Nok remember lizard friend was wearing and then wanders away. Nok-Nok glances at coat and at retreating man trying to figure out what just happened.

Tussah Silk Coat-CtA: Con 4: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 Success, Acquired.

Nok-Nok shrugs, takes a sniff of the coat and recognizes lizard friend's scent. Nok-Nok again wonders who strange nature man was and why he was so helpful. With a shrug, Nok-Nok prays to the god of stuff for help in finding more stuff.

Discarding Blessing of the Quartermaster to explore.

Exploration is cut short by locked passage. Nok-Nok takes a moment to examine the lock to try to disable it, hoping his buckler has the right tools for the job.

Locked Passage-CtD: Disable 8: 2d10 + 2 ⇒ (3, 7) + 2 = 12 Defeated, Banished and examine last card.

Nok-Nok, picks the lock with his trusty shield and spots a friendly snake just ahead, but he has to take a moment to replace tools on his buckler and arrange his new gear.

Recharging Tussah Coat and discarding ring of protection and then drawing up.
