Elemental Arachnid is nasty to face but doesn't have a trigger.
Could I go to the Oasis and cast Augury for Henchman? Most of them don't have trigger effects and it should shuffle the Arachnid back into the deck.
Well it worked. The spider is gone. We need to draw some cure spells soon though.
Out of curiosity what are the rewards on this scenario? I presume we unlock some merchants but is there anything else?
What does it do?
On drawing Rahali's hand, I now have remove curse. Should I use it on Zarlova's Curse of Poisoning or save it in case a nastier curse comes up?

Andrew says save it for now. At least until the curse would effect Zarlova.

Description of Shiny loot :-)
If Rahali takes the power that lets her add the AD# of items recharged, she would REALLY like the Golden Armband
It sounds like everyone gets access to it. Though I won't until tier 4 I think.
Speaking of, I should clarify that I joined this table with little understanding of what it meant to play a barely tier 3 character at tier 4. I'll do what I can to make sure we succeed but after this scenario I plan to play the character I'm applying this to (Grazzle) from scratch and apply this credit when he hits tier 4. Though I'm not sure how that will work exactly.
I am also playing a brand new tier 3 character. However this was the only higher than tier 1 table I could see and I really wanted to play my first ever character, Rahali.
Yes, we are definitely playing in hard mode, however there are still a few blessings left and no one is close to death.
The way I interpret the Golden Armband reward = Any Seasons of Factions Favor adventure (AD4+ onwards???), One player who has the reward per group can swap in the Armband.
If only one of us can have the armband then I won't roll for it. My only consideration for loot is I prefer something level 4 just so I don't have to skip a level 3 loot in anticipation of getting it at tier 4.
Preferably a spell of course but anything other then weapon or heavy armor will do.
Only one character can have the armband each scenario, because there is only 1 in the box. You can switch who that is at the start of every scenario though.

Question:
Rahali has two tough combats if she wants to close her location. Combat 28 (rat) followed by a combat 19 (Eel)
Looking to she what support is available.
What does Aqueous Orb do? Does it allow casting at another location?
If it does support, she plans
Combat 28
Ghost Whip 1d8 + 3 + 2d6
Enora Twin Serpent Quarterstaff +2d4
Zarlova Blessing of Pharasma +2d8
Combat 19
Rahali Power (Recharge Blessing) 1d10+1+1d8
Aqueous Orb +1d6??
Enora Twin Serpent Quarterstaff +2d4
If needed, Zarlova Blessing of Maat
Does this work as a plan?
If Orb does not support, she will just go to defeat Rat, no close attempt.
Combat 18
Ghost Whip 1d8 + 3 + 2d6
Recharge Blessing of Spellbound 1d10
Are you guys OK with this? Thoughts?
EDIT. Just realised with only two cards in hand I can't handle the Voices of the Spire in between. Will go with plan B

Display this card. While this card is displayed, for your combat check, you may use your Arcane or Divine skill + 1d6; you may additionally discard this card to add another 2d6. At the end of your turn, if you do not have either the Arcane or Divine skill, banish this card; otherwise, attempt an Arcane or Divine 11 check. If you succeed, recharge this card; if you fail, discard it.
I'm a little confused. Why would Raheli potentially fight the Voices of the Spire? And why wasn't the Ratfolk Palguebringer defeated?

your right. See explanation in game thread
My first pbp scenario ended about a day ago. Fun times. But we had to manually go back and check what loot we found. I'm told that won't be needed going forward but for this scenario we should keep a note to the side of what loot we gain. Here is what we have found so far.
Alahazra
Stone Weasel (Ally B)
Augury (Spell B)
Elemental Skin (Spell 4)
Rahali
Knot of Isis (Item 3)
Enora
Druid of the Storm (Ally 2)
Ghost Battling Ring (Item B)
Twin Serpent Quarterstaff (Weapon B)
Shield Cloak (Armor 1)
Zarlova
Blessing of Maat (Blessing 2)
Another Blessing of Maat (Blessing 2)

Thanks. But don't worry, that won't be necessary. The database program tracks them. The problem was the users didn't have access to see the list of the acquired cards. But we do now.

Hi Guys
Really appreciate letting me do the take back on my mental slip.
Back on deck and managed to post a redo of Rahali's turn.
Managed to succeed in closing Shifting Dunes, however used massive amount of resources.
Feel free to use the good Omen (5) if you want to pick up any loot
I think playing a teir 3 character in this scenario is REALLY tough!
Rules Question:
"While you reset your hand, reveal this card to treat your hand size as 1 higher...I am assuming I can't use this in the turn I draw it into my hand or can I?
Thanks!
Nope, but next turn you can!
From our ACG Online Venture Captain
Hello players!
We have received the final piece of our convention support, the special convention player rewards!
First off, if you are a BRAND-NEW player to the Adventure Card Guild (as in, the character you're using in your game is your #XXXX-1001 and you have not played any other characters in organized play) you can assign the Welcome to Pathfinder Reward to that character:
Society Initiate: You may only assign this reward to the first PFSACG character that you create. At the end of a scenario, if your character is dead, you may cross this reward off; your character is no longer dead. If you have a role card, you may instead cross this reward off to gain a card feat.
In addition, EVERY player AND box runner is going to have a 10% chance after each scenario of scoring a reward. These rewards can be assigned to any of your PFSACG characters... they don't have to apply to the character you were using. If you roll a 1 or a 20 on your d20 roll at the end of a scenario, you'll get to choose from any one of the following faction rewards:
Note about faction rewards: Faction rewards are a special type of benefit tied to the factions that use their considerable influence within the Pathfinder Society to pursue their own agendas. You may apply no more than one faction reward to a given character at one time. You may use no more than one power from a faction reward per scenario. Each faction reward specifies additional requirements that, once fulfilled, grant additional uses of the reward’s power. Once you have used all of the powers from a faction reward, including the powers that have additional requirements, you may assign another faction reward to that character.

I think with 4 locations left and only 6 turns left we need to discuss the best 2 places to close.
Windswept Chasm is close to being closed just by going through the cards. But that last card is Insanity Mist which can't be banished until the next turn. One of the cards there is a blessing and Zarlova is about to get a blessing so she could go there and dig down to the insanity mist.
It gets displayed. The rest of us focus on closing 1 location.
On Zarlova's next turn we give her a blessing and she rolls 2d10 +3 to hit the DC 10 Perception check. Hopefully we can give her a 2nd blessing. Then she discards her hand to close and we win.
So what other location do we try to close?
2 of the 4 unknown cards at the Oasis are blessings. So Alahazra has a decent chance of reaching the Elemental Arachnid. Even if she doesn't everyone else working together should easily get to and defeat it. Then we just try to load our hands with blessings to ensure Enora makes her wisdom check.
Even if things go wrong, Zarlova's blessing doesn't allow an explore, And the top of Windswept Heath is a spell or a blessing she fails to acquire, Alahazra can go there and trigger the barrier. That leaves the 3 of you to close Oasis and then Zarlova will still be able to banish the barrier and close on her next turn.

My interpretation is that she can do the close check at the end of the first turn i.e. during turn, encounters Insanity mist, it is displayed. End of explores, location is now empty, Zarlova can discard hand to close. There will be a rules question as to whether she has to make the check on the next turn or the barrier is removed when the location is closed. (My thoughts is that she would.)
So what other location do we try to close?
I agree the Oasis is probably the best location to try and close. The challenge I see is in actually defeating the Elemental Arachnid.
The BYA damage is 4 different instances, so you either need a reveal armor that would block the elements, elemental treaty or similar or be able to handle the Arachnid with -4 cards in hand.Rahali has absolutely NO chance of being able to fight the Arachnid. She can help clear down to get there, but someone else would have to take the fight.
Maybe Enora could handle the Arachnid?
Well if the spell at Windswept Heath is Arcane Enora can get it using Steal Book. But that won't actually increase her hand size. She might be better off moving and adding that 2d4 from her staff to whomever takes on the elemental.
About 48 hours from now (approx Thursday 5 PM EDT US), I will be going on a 24 journey back home, so will likely be not be available at all during that time.

Good luck for a smooth trip!
I am going to be offline this Friday night 20 July - Monday morning 23 July. OK to bot if you want. If someone can tell me how to share Google sheets, happy to give you links
Nopers.
Skill feat will be my final (+4) to Intelligence.

Sorry All, The Sharp eyed Alahazra pointed out multiple flaws with my last turn (that will teach me for posting in a rush :-( )
Instead of clearing the Oasis, I get completely owned by the Elemental Arachnid and we still have 3 cards to defeat in the Oasis including the Elemental Arachnid (4 * 1 damage :-( ) and only three blessings remaining!
Good luck guys!
That Blast Glyph is an issue. And the deck is reshuffled. So we know about the Glyph, Elemental Arachnid, and I don't remember if we officially know if the last card is a ghoul but we do know it is a ? so that is a blessing , henchman, or random monster.
Resources: Rahali has Binder's Tome in hand. Will add 1d4 and the mental trait at Oasis. Good vs enemies that are not undead.
Zarlova has Blessing of Maat and Blessing of the Gods.
Alahazra has Blessing of the Gods
Enora has Blessing of the Elements.
So let's say Enora goes to the Oasis.
If the top card is a Blast Glyph one BotG gets her 85% chance of beating it. Then she uses her Blessing of the Elements to explore again.
If the top card is a blessing she tries to acquire it. Using one of our blessing or Blessing of Maat if she rolls poorly.
If it is a monster other then Elemental Arachnid she rolls the d6 and we have a 66% chance of closing the location.
Note Binder's Tome adds 1d4 to non combat charisma checks at that location. This includes the Diplomacy check for the 3rd option on the d6.
If the top card is Elemental Arachnid we still have a 33% chance of closing the location before the fight.
During the fight she uses Rahali's Binder's Tome plus one of her attack spells and we throw all our blessings at it.
Even if everything goes wrong on Enora's turn we still have Zarlova and Alahazra.
Sorry. Busy day at work. Posted a scenario update just now.
We are not quite done yet but the roll is not based on if we win.
Thanks.
As mentioned I would like to play my Grazzle from level 1 up and just bank this scenario. But between role cards normally being chosen at tier 4 and some scenarios adding bonus feats I have no clue what razzle will want by level 4.
Loot is easy. I can pick last and if it goes to waste no big deal.
I'm hoping I don't have to choose my role yes because both Bog Medic and Bone Diviner look good.
Skill feat is +1 Charisma.
4-4A Reward Roll
Can everyone confirm their PFS reward number for me? Also, let me know what name you want on your chronicle sheet. I can put your screen name or real name, but I need to know your real name. You can send me the info in a PM.

It's actually shame that the only tier 4 loot we found was spell. Grazzle has an upgrade option for everything at tier 4.
Reminder that I am getting on a bus in about 5 hours from now, so may not have another communication from me for like 30-40 hours.
43439-1001
Put "Andrew" on the chronicle please (it's how I do all of mine). Andrew Roberts is my real name.
Will have to figure out what I want later. Already packed up my deck.
I'm admittedly not too familiar with taking one for the team. But, reading the guide, I want to make sure i have this right.
So, I'll give you a chronicle, for Grazzle, not Alahazra. But, next scenario, will you have to build a "new" pregen Alahazra again?
I'm not playing the next scenario. I want to start an AP from the beginning with Grazzle. When I hit tier 4 I apply this chronicle.
44004-1023
You can put Tyler or Cartmanbeck, they're all over the place. :)
And this is a replay for her.
Looks like Andrew's Zarlova qualifies for the Initiate reward. I'll send you one.
