[ACG] [CaG] [SoFF] Season of Factions' Favor Adventure 4+ (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkmoon269

Hopefully will have a post in like 4-5 hours.

Thanks for the update.

@Grazzle,
Totally understand! I was confused myself and had to check things a couple of times.
Having the two Obelisks next to each other is a bit unfortunate

Any chance of scenario update before I go? Getting harder and harder for me during the holiday times to keep track, apologies.

I'm updating now...

Grazzle,
how much anti curse do you have?
Donyou have a spell that cures two curses?
If not,
I can discard staff of curses and a spell to remove Zarlovas curse at the end of his turn, then you could heal me
Let me know if I should go ahead with that

Zarlova just got cursed so she is a better candidate. Mine is a minor nuisance at most.

Edit: And by mine I mean the sphinx one. Curse of Fevered Dreams sucks.

OK, I don't have the curse wording on me

Well that was an interesting turn
We have a trifecta of everyone having Cursed Dreams :-)
No hand to start the next turn

Hi, running late for a flight today so won't be able to check Gameplay for a bit. Feel free to bot if needed.

No rush

It may be awhile before Hawkmoon checks in so to help us pick our upgrades I think this is a correct list of our acquired cards.

Weapon 5 - Iceblade Spelldagger
Blessing 5 - Blessing of the Lady of Graves
Spell 2 =- Corrosion

Spell B - Good Omen
Ally B - Fire Gecko
Blessing B - Blessing of the Ancients

Maybe I should have held off closing. I thought we had more loot then that.

Weirdly I'm eyeing the level 5 upgrades for exactly what they are. Either weapon 5 to upgrade to Iceblade Spelldagger or blessing 5 to upgrade to Blessing of the Lady of Graves.

The weapon doesn't matter to me. It would just be upgrading so it doesn't get wasted. If one of you have a good blessing 5 I'm fine with passing on the blessing.

Rahali Upgrade

Scenario Reward
- ????

Card Upgrade
None

Tier 4.4
- Card Feat (Blessing)
- Blessing of Nethys in

I can't use the Tier 5 cards, so you can divy them up.
If we find Spell 4, Ally 4, or Item 4, I am keen on those

Also no problems on the early Win. Not a great scenario and I am keen to move on.

This is my 3rd scenario at tier 5 so no feats. Pretty sure Zarlova doesn't need the weapon 5 but she cleaned up on upgrades during the special so she might not need the blessing either.

Actually I think I would rather run Blessing of the Seventh Veil which is a blessing 4. And if I'm downgrading the blessing and Zarlova doesn't need it then you may as well take it.

It is a lot of dice rolling but Blessing of the Savored Sting is pretty good. Or of course you could add Blessing of the Seventh Veil to your deck.

And apparently one of the scenario rewards is access to a troll spell called Vision.

So you take Weapon 5
If Zarlova doesn't want the blessing, then I will take it
- Pharasma out, Blessing of the Savored Sting (4) in

If Zarlova does want the blessing, I will pass and let him have it

Blessing of the Lady of Graves was REALLY underwhelming as it does not actually have an explore. I think BoSS is much better

I think Vision is a bit of a dicy spell, as you are trading knowing whether a Villain is in a location or not vs a bunch of time blessings... don't think I would like to play that.
What are your thoughts re vision?

Notice I called it a troll spell. I don't think it is worth playing. Putting aside all the triggers you might hit you might lose as many turns as you save.

I wasn't sure what you meant by troll spell :-)

Checked it over. If it's not an Armor 5, it means nothing to me. ;)

Cool, so it looks like it all works with Grazzle getting Weapon 5 and Rahali getting Blessing 5, Zarlova taking nothing

Clearly switching out Fire Snake was a mistake.

So updated loot exchange is

Holy Javelin out for (Eruption)

Wand of Detect Magic out for (Mythopoeic Sphinx)

Druid of the Flame out for (Maftet Hunter)

Yay thanks for naming armor for me. I am completely done with card upgrades for Tier 5. :)

Ready to go :-)

Rahali - 4-5D: Temple of Light and Metal

Adventure Power replacements

Thanks for the examine guidelines Grazzle

I am happy to use google hangouts
On it for another Game
My handle is MatsuKurisu@gmail.com

Not used to setting up the thread however

This is a weird one so I wanted to go over the details so we are all on board about how to approach it.

We want to create an open location with 5 boons of tiers 1 - 5. And we want to display 3 Elusive Knowledges.

Just because there is already a tier 5 boon at the bottom of Alter of Riddles let's pick it for our final location. We want to clear all cards above the Pyromaniac Mage and shove the other 4 boons below it. Once we clear the rest of the location it will get even easier to seed because we can shuffle acquired boons into an open location.

We can also seed banes into open locations. Once we have displayed the 3 Elusive Knowledges we can shuffle henchmen that allow a close into other open locations to shut them down faster.

If we examine a boon that would duplicate a tier under Alter of Riddles just shove it under a different location or the one you are at.

And remember that if you don't want a card in your deck and none of us want it for an upgrade you can just banish it.

Thanks for working this out.
Agreed, makes sense to me.
I have started tracking boons and will keep it updated

4-5D: TEMPLE OF LIGHT AND METAL
Boon tracking

Altar of Riddles
AD5 = Ally

Great Library
AD1 = Weapon

Hopefully Hawkmoon will be labeling them since we know what and where they are. Since we have some down time I recommend discussing what boons we still want.

Tier 5

Spell 5
I think I want the utility of Death's Touch even if the damage is a bit lower. Probably I should have added it over Icy Prison. Not a priority though.

Ally 5
Pretty sure I'll be taking ally for my card feat. As for which one to add, I'm looking at Sand Elemental.
"Recharge this card to ignore a non-villain bane's power that happens before you act."
Even if that means it is only helping me it can prevent a lot of nasty effects. In fact if I reveal a bane with a crippling BYA effect at one of your locations you could skip it while I go deal with it.
Alternitivly I could add Wayfarer. When I discard it to explore it adds 2d6 to my checks.

Blessing 4
Blessing of Pharasma just isn't coming up much. I think I'll replace one of them with Blessing of the Seventh Veil.

Tier 6

Spell 6
Rejuvenation is just an upgrade to Restorative Touch.

Spell 6
Breath of Life is a minor downgrade to Major Cure but it can bring someone back to life if things get really bad. Not a priority though.

I think that is it.

There's an elusive knowledge at Altar of Riddles, so I will go into examine mode to try to get it now.

Zarlova's turn but I think we need a status update before you have your turn :-)

Boon tracking

Altar of Riddles
AD2 = Armor
AD3 = Weapon
AD5 = Loot

Great Library
AD1 = Weapon

Bronze Sentinal Loot is a 4 so we know the ADs we need to win are available

4-5D: TEMPLE OF LIGHT AND METAL
Boon tracking

Altar of Riddles
AD2 = Armor
AD3 = Weapon
AD4 = Henchman
AD5 = Loot

Great Library
AD1 = Weapon

Zarlova, please remember the scenario option
•When you acquire a boon or defeat a bane, you may shuffle it into a location deck.
You could have shuffled the Armor back into the Altar or another location and then we could bounce it back, as it was one of the Target card for the win condition

I know this is a complicated scenario and is WAY easier if we were in person to discuss choices during turns

I couldn't have with the way I got it (As I just drew it instead of acquired it).

Also, I debated on putting it in my hand, but I feel we need to thin out the Altar some so we can actually get a handle on what's in there. I also see we have another AD2 card floating around we can put there.

Thanks for the explanation

Hawkmoon
Can you confirm my understanding that anytime you gain a boon you can use the scenario power to put it in a location

It is only acquiring if the word "acquire" is used. For example, succeeding at a check to acquire a boon is acquiring. Drawing a card from a location, box, or anywhere else is not acquiring. See this comment. So, the Altar's power is not not acquiring.

Thanks, understood .

No, because Silver Forge says "Summon and acquire a random armor from the box" so it is acquiring.

Card feat Ally. Upgrade choice Ally 5 for Sand Elemental.
Loot choices are

Holy Javelin out for (Eruption)

Wand of Detect Magic out for (Mythopoeic Sphinx)

Druid of the Flame out for (Maftet Hunter)

Will decide after you all are decided. I'm assuming we're not having another scenario for now due to incoming specials? I am planning to play this character in the special.

Rahali Upgrade - 4-5D: Temple of Light and Metal

Scenario Reward
- Replace 1 item in with the loot Life Lantern and 1 item in his deck with the loot Pharaoh’s Key.

Card Upgrade
Spell 5 - Steal Soul in, Fire & Ice out

Tier 4.5
- nil
- Tier up to 5

Card Feat: Item
Upgrade: Item 5 (put Magnetic Grimoire an Item 4 into my new item card slot)

If we have completed all in this tier, will tier up to 6. Otherwise will stay at 5.

Yes, we'll need to pause this table during the special if you are planning to use this character in the special (which will be good for me anyway so I don't get overwhelmed with tables).

Zarlova is ready again! If you want to wait until the gameday is over, that's fine too, just wanted to announce it. ;)

Rahali is ready too!

Ready.

Alright, I've cut back so this and one RPG game (which I think will end in a couple weeks) should be my only PbP games going on for a while, so I should be at a more manageable level.
