Game Master cartmanbeck

You are correct - no pistol for me. Revised hand, "OUT OF TURN HAND UPDATE":

Hand: Stalking Armor, Rochin, The Missing Eye, Mind Thrust, Pheromones, Blessing of the Quartermaster 1,

Displayed: On Top:Blessing of the Gods
Deck: 7 Discard: 2 Buried: 0 On top:1
Notes: Pheremones can banish to add a die to an Animal card. Please ask before using; I think I'd prefer to use it to evade my own encounter with a Hammerhead. But if it looks grim...
Sideboard cards:

Which means I have a 1-die blessing available for Lini to use. I, too, would like to close a Shark Island and get this whole scenario done and over with. I'm not going to vote on someone else banishing a card, though...but some are more equal than others, I suppose, so if I must I would say let's send the horse to the glue factory.

I'm not finding the creativity to write a thematic description of how eliminating an ally is good for the party.

Celeste banishes Acadamae Student to temp-close Lonely Island.

<OUT OF TURN HAND UPDATE>

Hand: Blessing of the Ancients, Force Missile, Thieves Tools, Alaeron, Bestiary of Garund

Displayed:
Deck: 9 Discard: 0 Buried: 0
Notes: Blessing available (recharges on Basic timer blessing).

To make sure the sacrifice of the student is not in vain, I'll ask Celeste to discard the Blessing of the Ancients. We haven't yet defeated any sharks, so the difficulty is not ramped up.

Lini thinks quickly, and summons a frigid blast of cold air at the adaro.

Divine combat 15: 3d10 + 3 + 2d4 ⇒ (7, 8, 9) + 3 + (1, 4) = 32
Recharge divine 8: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

It nearly freezes into a solid block of ice, but manages to break out at the last moment and flees to one of the other islands of the sharks.

That was a pretty intense roll; maybe I didn't need the extra blessing after all, but at least shark island 1 is closed!

Hand: Feather of Maat, Frilled Lizard, Frog, Blessing of the Gods 1, Fireblade

Nice job. I don't begrudge the blessing -- I see a 19 average w/out the extra blessing, and that's a bit tight for a villain fight (especially with 3 open locations).
I'm occupied till about 7 or so, then will post.

A FANTASTIC start, all!

Celeste at Lonely Island.
Moves to Shark Island #2.
Explores.
Devilfish, Monster 1.
Play Force Missile.
Combat 10: 1d10 + 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + (3, 3) + 2 = 9
NOT defeated.

That's cruel. There's the Charisma skill feat I didn't take because I thought when I had a spell in hand I was just fine.
Also I didn't use the book or ally as a boost because I'm holding them back in case I need to fight a shark without a spell.
(Why didn't I pitch the Tools for my Poison bite? Honestly, I was rushing and it did not occur to me.)
So, losing something anyway.

Discard Thieves Tools as 1 Combat damage. Discard Bestiary as 1 Poison damage due to Devilfish. (Celeste takes this as a personal insult.)

Shark Island #2 shuffles.

Shuffled Shark Island 2: 1d10 ⇒ 5 EDIT: Oops, wrong number of cards. I checked the correct number at the bottom of this post, and fortunately the mistake didn't affect anything.
Exploring Shark Island 2 5: Chain Shirt

Ending turn. Recharging Force Missile to sail with Celeste to the Lonely Island. Resetting hand.
Valendron summoned a brisk wind to take the Merchantman back to the Lonely Island, picking up a wounded Celeste along the way.

Hand: Illuminate, Frostbite, Bracers of Protection, Sling, Benevolent Buckler,

Displayed:
Deck: 11 Discard: 0 Buried: 0
Notes:
Ask before using: Illuminate (add 1d8 to any Ranged combat)
Can use without asking: Benevolent Buckler (recharge to prevent 2 Ranged Combat damage dealt to someone at my location)

EDIT: Just realized that Shark Island 2 has 11 cards, not 10. Since there was a 1/11 chance to have gotten that card:
1-10, no change to my turn; 11=Valendron would have encountered Card 11: 1d11 ⇒ 6
Cool. Play stands!

OK, back to 2, and to roll for a random card other than the 5th one...

Which Card?: 1d10 ⇒ 9

..so I will be hitting Card #10. A bloodbug...using The Missing Eye, not going to discard to up my STR, but am recharging the weapon to add 1d6+1 and cold...

Mavaro heads back out into the waters and a wild Bloodbug appears. He uses The Missing Eye to slash at it..

Combat 9: 2d6 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + (5) + 2 = 14

It's super effective! Mavaro rests. Reset hand end turn.

Valendron and Celeste moved to the Lonely Island at the end of EmpTyger's turn.

Lini follows the current to reach the next isle where sharks are known to gather. Explore Shark Island 2

Divine 5: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Feeling particularly blessed by the goddess Milani, Lini goes hop-skipping forward to see what's up ahead. Shuffle frog into my deck to explore.

She is immediately set upon by a marauding shark! She whips out a blade of magical fire that will not be extinguished by the sea-water, and lets the shark have it. Discarding Fireblade to attack

Combat 10: 1d10 + 3 + 2d4 ⇒ (10) + 3 + (3, 3) = 19
Recharge divine 8: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

The Fireblade cuts right through the shark. Lini looks up in triumph but sees another one approaching quickly, drawn to the blood in the water. This time Lini changes her body into that of a shark's, and draws the enemy close to the shore so a friendly lizard can provide a distraction for her.

I'm summoning a second shark for the location close. I will recharge my Feather of Maat to use d12 for Strength, discard my blessing of the gods for an extra die, and shuffle the Frilled Lizard into my deck for an extra 2d4.

Combat 10: 2d12 + 2d4 ⇒ (12, 12) + (2, 3) = 29

The second shark falls limp even before Lini has time to finish biting through its body. I just rolled a 10 on my d10, and two 12s on my d12s. This might be the pinnacle of my card game career.

Lini looks around, thinking that this isle is now safe. But no! She catches sight of the Adaro villain lurking just behind a sunken rock, watching the battle take place. He hasn't yet noticed that she noticed him, so they should be able to sail away in the ship to come back later.

Guys I found the villain again! Do you think he likes me because I turn into a shark?

Alright...then a Hammerhead Shark for me at the start of my turn.

Mavaro emerges from the ship's cabin and sees a Hammerhead Shark threatening the crew! He pulls out his vial of Pheromones and throws it at the shark to distract it, and then moves to stab it with his Rochin, all while praying to the gods...

Might as well use the Pheromones for something...it adds 1 die to a check that invokes the animal trait, if I banish it. I think I'm going to need a blessing, too, so I discard BotG...

Combat 10: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 5, 4) = 14

Having dispatched the shark, the ship moves to the Lonely Island, and safer waters. Assuming here that Lini is coming with me to avoid a start-of-turn sharkfight? Mavaro then searches about...Exploring.

...and finds another shield. Oh joy. The buckler isn't too interesting, so he tries to grab it, but not too hard...

Constitution 3: 1d8 ⇒ 8

...and manages to securely grab it from the sand. Not feeling much more adventurous - especially as he has no friends at this Lonely Island - he rests.

Have no ally to banish to close this place, so...don't want to explore too much. But at least I have the Planchette, which should allow me to try to get a boon without doing so. Resetting hand and ending turn.

Lini casually turns back into her usual gnomish self and boards the ship to sail back to Lonely Island with Mavaro. We'll be back, she promises herself.

Once she gets there, she notices a stray parrot flying around. "You might not be a water bird, so the sharks shouldn't be a problem, but still, this is no place to be wandering. Stay close to me." Bury Charm animal to get a Parrot.

She catches sight of an abandoned firearm, resting high up on a cliff near the shore. Her eyes widen when she notices that it has a magical aura. She quickly takes the shape of an agile sea-hawk that can fly up there to retrieve it. Since we have so few boons, I might as well go all out to get it. It would also help for fighting a henchman or villain. I'll discard my Fireblade to use a d12 Dexterity, then the blessing of Milani for two extra dice.

Dexterity 8: 3d12 ⇒ (4, 11, 3) = 18

Quite satisfied with her plunder, Lini sits down to polish the gun for a little while.

Celeste & friends at Lonely Island.

I know I'm letting y'all down in regard to the roleplaying, but I don't have a brain cell to spare today (or lately).

Explore.
Hammerhead Shark.
There's no kill like overkill, and I blew a C10 CTD already, so:
Play Fiery Glare. Recharge BoE. Discard Alaeron for a poison bite.
Combat 10: 2d10 + 2d4 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (10, 6) + (4, 2) + (8) + 2 = 32
Defeated.
(Sure -- *now* I max three dice. Oy vey.)

There's 3 barriers in this deck and a mess of us here. I don't recall how many S&S barriers damage multiple characters, but I bet there's a few, and my health isn't the best.

I plan to banish an ally to close. We all ok with that?

Minutes after the witching minute, so I cannot edit my first post...

Banish ally Amiri to close Lonely Island.
Lonely Island closed.

CMB, I need a random ally from the close.
Location has me recharge that ally. Draw up:

...and with nowhere else for the Adaro barbarian to go, Mavaro puts everything he has into driving his sole weapon into the creature's heart, praying to the gods (as he knows his allies are as well) that his aim is true...

As discussed:

• Bury Rochin to use Strength + 2d6 possibility that I can succeed at a Dexterity check to recharge rather than bury, which I won't be able to make anyways
  
• Discard Mind Thrust to get The Missing Eye on top of my deck, giving me Strength / Melee / Divine equal to Knowledge, 1d8 + 2
  
• Discard Blessing of the Quartermaster for 1 die, 1d8
  
• Use one blessing each from the other three players for three additional dice, each 1d8

Wow, what a terrible roll! But still a win!

...and it is. With the Rochin buried deep in the Adaro barbarian's heart, the crew sails off into the sunset and begins to divide their spoils.

Buckler (Armor B)
Wooden Shield (Armor B)
Benevolent Buckler (Armor 1)
Blessing of Abadar (Blessing B)
Blessing of Milani (Blessing B)
Pistol +1 (Weapon B)

Development
You were almost a feast for sharks, but working with the
pirate crew, you’ve fought off the adaro barbarian who
commanded them. Some of your shipmates are impressed by
the way you handle yourself in a fight… and others are wary of
keeping such dangerous passengers aboard. Their new captain,
Jemma Redclaw, has said you can disembark at the next port
with the coin in your pockets, but pirates have been known to
go back on their word. You might want to consider jumping
ship for somewhere safer the first chance you get.

Reward
Each character draws a blessing from the box.

So this is one of those rewards where you choose a random blessing from your class deck(s).

You also get a power feat each!

Gaining Power Feat: Hand Size 6
Upgrading Weapon B Sling into Weapon B Allying Dart +1
Upgrading Blessing B of the Gods into Blessing B of Iomedae
A cleric of Iomedae was impressed with Valendron's skill, and she offered him a magical dart that would help him protect his allies. "Defender" was a strange role for the sorcerer, but like the storm, Valendron knew his path would vary.
The elf exchanged his sling for the new dart; without the need to carry ammunition, Valendron was less encumbered.
