Game Master cartmanbeck

I definitely do...especially because I can recharge Quartermaster to add 1 die to a noncombat check, which I do.

Mavaro goes on the hunt...Quartermastered Treasure Hunt Knowledge: 2d8 + 1 ⇒ (5, 7) + 1 = 13

...and finds something...

So where do I find my random item from the box? Then I can post my new hand and be one card further away from death.

(During Mavaro's turn)
Discarding Blast Stone for 1 structural damage.
(During Lini's turn)
Passing on the Treasure Hunt
Valendron helped Mavaro patch the Merchantman, but refrained from joining the treasure hunt. The elf was satisfied with his new ruby... for now.

Hand: Ruby of Charisma, Confusion, Dagger, Force Missile,

Great, cool.
Tyler - what happened to the spoiler tags of randomized stuff (boons, banes, and if possible ships)? Until Calthaer asked, I did not notice they were missing.

Treasure? Celeste will apply her knowledge:
Knowledge 8: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Celeste is too groggy today to find anything... hoping this tide turns soon.

Since someone has successfully defeated the barrier I'll carry on.

Lini isn't too sure what to make of the treasure map, but her book-learned teammate Mavaro figures it out right away. She notices that he looks a little worse for wear, and remembers that she could use some healing herself after the last shark battle.

Cure: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Recharge Divine 8: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The wand sort of fizzles in her hand, but healing is healing, and she feels a little better. Shuffle the Frog into my deck to explore again

I acquire it automatically with Fortitude +2

She notices a scrap of leather drifting just inside the cave. It even appears to be sized to fit a gnome, so Lini fishes it out of the water. Two sets of armor, how about that? Feeling well-armored I'll shuffle in the Dog to explore again.

Lini feels blessed by the gods, as her luck is finally turning around. Discard it to explore again, since I want to minimize the number of turns I have to sit at this location.

There's a man in here, oddly enough. Maybe he got lost in the caves, and his own crew abandoned him here? Lini tries to convince him that he should join her own ship.

Charisma 8: 1d8 ⇒ 2

He is totally unimpressed. Lini shrugs. If he wants to wander on his own, she can't stop him.

If anybody comes across an obstacle or trap barrier, please use my spell; there are no more barriers at my location so it's just going to keep cluttering my hand. At least I have an option or two if I have to do some card burying or discard/recharge to wildshape.

Moving to Sea Caves
Exploring Sea Caves 1: Phantasmal Minion

Ending turn. Recharging Confusion to move to Riptide Cove (and presumably taking Lini along with unless she objects).
Valendron wasn't sure how long he could hold his breath, and Lini had been down even longer. With a magical burst of speed for them both, the sorcerer resurfaced in the Riptide Cove by the Merchantman.

Hand: Ruby of Charisma, Phantasmal Minion, Dagger, Frostbite, Force Missile,

Displayed:
Deck: 9 Discard: 3 Buried: 0
Notes: I have a Cold spell in hand for the Constrictor Snake.
Ask before using: Phantasmal Minion (give 1 card to anyone; receive 1 card from anyone at my location)
Can use without asking:

Will post my hand to start, with the Eye Patch. Not a lot of options here...want to end up at a location that I at least have a shot of temp-closing if we hit the villain, but most of those have a lot of banes that I probably can't defeat. Will be doing some scouting, and probably grab that Rum Bottle.

Hand: Planchette, Possession, Eye Patch, Blessing of the Gods, Stalking Armor, Compass 2,

Displayed: Pirate Shade Haunt, On Top:Elemental Ascetic
Deck: 4 Discard: 5 Buried: 0 On top:1
Notes: Start of turn
Sideboard cards:

Mavaro returns to Riptide Cove to try to get the Rum Bottle he'd spotted earlier...
Rum Bottle Constitution: 1d8 ⇒ 8
...and, his lungs almost bursting as he dives to the Cove's floor to grab it, he barely succeeds!Elemental Ascetic gives me Fortitude, which gives me 1d8+1; my Pirate Shade Haunt gives me -1, so a wash.

Then, back on deck, he retrieves his Planchette from his sack in order to try for treasure. He decides to use it to see if there are any allies in the cove...Discard Planchette, select "ally" as type of boon since there are two in the deck and examine the top card to see if it is an ally...and it's a weapon. Man - that was my second choice, as I could use one right now.

...and instead sees a Quarterstaff. He then tries to see if the Planchette is still in working order (a tricky endeavor, but his Stalking Armor will somehow help...Perception 6 to recharge Planchette; Stalking Armor = +2 Perception, skill=+2 as well

Perception 6 Planchette: 1d8 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 1 = 10

...and determines the Planchette is still in working order. It recharges rather than discards.

He then pulls out a Compass again, to try and navigate through an area of thick fog...Recharge Compass to move to the Fog Bank and examine the top card.

...and reveals a Treasure Map in the fog, just out of reach. Top card of Fog Bank is Treasure Map...a barrier, but not a nasty one. I could do that one next turn, and Fog Bank is a closing requirement that won't kill me if we have to temp-close. Alternately, I could also go and grab that Quarterstaff next turn, assuming no one else wants it - it would give me a fighting chance. I will stay here for now and see what develops; lots of options, and I'm now a lot further away from death with all those recharges. Drawing back up and ending my turn. Also, correcting that Charisma value in my Skills which elcoderdude spotted.

Hand: Rum Bottle, Possession, Eye Patch, Blessing of the Gods, Stalking Armor, Elemental Ascetic,

Displayed: Pirate Shade Haunt, On Top:Sai
Deck: 5 Discard: 5 Buried: 0 On top:1
Notes: End of turn...please don't use this blessing.
Sideboard cards:

Well, you examined the top card of the Fog Bank, so the entire thing has to be shuffled now. Also I hate to say it, but at Riptide Cove you have to roll twice to acquire the rum bottle so you might not have it after all.

Off-turn: Lini accompanies Valendron on the ship to Riptide Cove

"Why, thank you for bringing me out of there! I was in danger of getting lost in the caves myself. Drowning is not what I had in mind for today." Then Mavaro shows up as well. Lini smiles and says, "Glad to see you're doing a little better now." But he stays only long enough to point out a quarterstaff floating nearby and then dash off again.

My turn: top blessing is a Blessing of the Gods

Lini already has her own quarterstaff, no need for another one. Instead she heads back to Scar Bay to look for a giant snake that Valendron told her about. When she gets there, she finds out it's not just a snake - it's an undead snake!

I will recharge my magic leather armor to use d12 for Strength die, and then reveal the quarterstaff to attack. Throwing in a blessing of the gods for an extra die.

Combat 11: 2d12 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 10) + (6) = 21

The constrictor is well and truly clobbered. Re-dead, if you will. She stands next to its head to strike a victorious pose with her staff.

Ok so I will re-roll and update my hand...guess I shouldn't be taking my turn while trying to get ready for the day.

Reroll: 1d8 ⇒ 7

I needed a 7 so I guess I do have it still. We'll shuffle Fog Bank; no biggie. But I probably won't explore a location filled with bad stuff when I have no weapon

Celeste is wary. Where is that blasted Aaron Ivy hiding?
After her previous harsh words, she doesn't feel the beneficial gaze of any deity. My blessing is Gods

Celeste explores Rocky Cliff.
Crab Swarm, Monster B

Hundreds of crustaceans skitter angrily toward the Naga. She laughs.

Plays Dazzle, since it's useless on the villain.
Combat 8: 1d10 + 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + (4, 2) + 2 = 14
Combat 8: 1d10 + 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + (1, 1) + 2 = 13
Defeated.

With a flash of light, Celeste dismisses the madding crowd.
Auto-recharge Dazzle.

Discard Gods to explore. I feel we need to up the pace.

A heap of bones animates itself against the 'sea-witch'. With a rusty sword, it aims to strike.

Poison is useless here. Not happy about it but I've got to use my Attack spell. At least I made the right choice on Dazzle.
Playing Acid Jet.
Combat 8: 1d10 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + (2) + 2 = 8
Defeated.

Green bile shoots from Celeste's mouth (why not) and consumes her foe.
Auto-recharge Acid Jet.

Celeste peers into the future once more to aid her friends.
Recharge Thieves' Tools to examine Sea Caves via my power. Really hoping I don't regret that when I hit the last barrier at the Rocky Cliffs.

Nice job handling the Structural Damage.
It's wild a Pirate Captain showed up in two locations at nearly the same moment. I sense a conspiracy.

Great job, guys! Five turns while I was away for the morning is impressive! :)

I'm going for the Quarterstaff. Even have Melee, since my Sai is on top of my deck. Won't forget to reroll this time...not going to do +1 / -1 that comes from Pirate Shade / Knowledge.

Mavaro navigates back to Riptide Cove to seek out the Quarterstaff his Planchette spotted earlier...and he tries to grab it from where it's stuck in the sand...

First Attempt QStaff Melee 3: 1d8 ⇒ 2

...and the staff snaps in half.

I will...hmm...thinking. I don't have a lot of good options. Need to go a little faster...this might be slightly risky but at least I have Stalking Armor...it will mean banishing this spell, but...if I get the Shade and have to fight the Grindylow, I might need someone's blessing to have more than 50/50 for the close.

He readies himself to possess a nearby meerkat...

Cast Possession; will have to banish this card, but...

...and discovers instead a Siren Caller. Great.

He readies all resources at his disposal to do battle with it...
Discard Blessing of the Gods, recharge Eye Patch

Siren Caller Wisdom 9: 2d8 + 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (6, 1) + (1) - 1 = 7

...and it grazes him, then fades back into the mist.

Did not get the 9 I needed, so...two damage. No allies in the top three cards of my deck; the only one I have is in my hand. Discard Elemental Ascetic and Rum Bottle as the damage that may not be reduced. Siren Caller will have to be shuffled back into Riptide Cove. Drawing back up to my hand size.

My turn: top blessing is of Pharasma

Lini keeps looking further into Scar Bay, wondering what other kind of undead creatures she can find.

First snakes, now crabs! This one looks very intimidating.

Um, would Valendron like to contribute a blessing? Without it I'm pretty much choosing to fail this check. I do have armor to banish so I could survive a loss if I have to, but I doubt I'll ever be in a much better position.

Recharging Burst Bonds to use a d12, then discarding Valendron’s blessing of the gods and attacking with the quarterstaff

Combat 13: 2d12 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 8) + (4) = 13
Combat 13 re-roll: 2d12 + 1d6 ⇒ (10, 7) + (4) = 21

Celeste at Rocky Cliffs.
For speed, using the location's Seelah-ish ability to scout the first card of the location, putting boons on the bottom:
Examine 1st card of Rocky Cliffs:
Aaron Ivy. Villain.

You have GOT to be kidding me...I've been scouting every location except the Fog Bank, and he ends up here.

Celeste glimpses a spectre on the Island. Aaron Ivy himself! The lunar Naga's fangs can gain no purchase on the undead pirate. Celeste raises sail and heads for a matchup more to her liking. The living shall face her wrath.

I'll take out the pirate captain at Sea Caves.

Celeste moves to Sea Caves.

Explore. Pirate Captain.
BYA recharge Alearon.

Combat 13: 1d10 + 2d4 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (9) + (4, 1) + (8) + 2 = 24

Group question: should we wreck the ship?
Assuming not: I discard Acadamae Student for 1 damage. I ask someone who is not Mavaro to discard another.

End Turn. Since winning depends on me not fighting Aaron Ivy, I'll recharge Sage's Journal to scout Riptide Cove.
Riptide Cove:
Top card is Sea Drake, Monster B, CTD 14. Whew!

Lini hears the call ring out from across the bay: her allies are closing in on their foe! She slows the ship to steer cautiously and be ready to make her move.

I will choose not to use my free explore, but will shuffle the frog into my deck to explore.

An enemy soldier stands to fight! Is he not aware of the ghosts haunting these parts, or is he allied with them? Either way he's refusing to stand down.

This is good for hand cycling, actually. I'll shuffle the frilled lizard into my deck to add 2d4, discard the dog to use a d12 for strength, then attack with the quarterstaff.

The marine is soundly defeated. Lini stands at the ready to offer whatever support she can. Discard the hide armor and then reset my hand.

Powers:
When you play an ally that has the Animal trait, if you would recharge, discard, or bury it for its power, you may instead shuffle it into your deck ([ ] or put it on top of your deck).
You may discard a card to use a d12 for your Strength or Dexterity die; if the check is against a card that has the Animal or Aquatic trait, recharge the card instead.

My cards can't help anyone but I'm ready to try to close.
