Hey Eliandra!
I am not done with my turn...
Totally my fault. I did not realize how much it looked like I was done -- posting my hand was a mistake, I just wanted it available for me to see.
NOTE:
Eliandra's phantom turn altered the dice rolls.
I don't have time to redo my entire turn, even if that made sense, so, please trust me -- I am hard-coding the original results.
NOTE 2:
I take 100% of blame for luring Eliandra into taking her turn.
Taking stock:
I rely on Eliandra closing the Guardpost on her next turn. EDIT: :)
Rando can only explore once next turn.
At the Watchtower, TH and Parody have 3 explores between them. That could flush the villain/henchman.
Deni has 2 explores possibly at the Canyon.
At the weapon-banish-to-close locations, we have characters with 2 weapons in hand, so they could close twice.
That being the case -- and primarily because I am getting bored at the Rift -- I'm going to abandon my post, go somewhere, then (the plan is) summon steed back to the Rift so it flips.
The only place it makes sense to go is the Canyon, because I couldn't do the 2 fights at the Guardpost easily, and I don't have a weapon.
This only works because Deni helpfully cleared the monsters, so the Garrison-like effect is nullified.
So:
Display Tonbarse at the Canyon.
Move to Canyon.
Explore:
(dice=Card)d6(/dice) -> 2
I was really worried that would be 1.
Spellcasters's Shield, Armor B.
Not only an armor, but one I might possibly acquire.
(dice=Arcane 6)d10+2(/dice) -> 12
Acquired.
Dang. Kind of wishing I saved that 10 for combat.
Discarding a BoG to explore again:
(dice=Card)d6(/dice) -> 1 (would reroll 2 to avoid confusion)
Sigh. There's the 1.
Everyone encounters a Cultist of Baphomet. Stats are in my post just before this. Evading is fine, but don't lose or we lose 1 blessing from the blessing deck for each loss.
My fight:
No BYA because not 1st explore (besides scenario damage reduction).
Tonbarse will bite him for me. Gonna recharge my last BoG on this (don't worry, I know I have one coming):
(dice=Combat 11)2d10+3(/dice) -> 11
Whew. A little close.
When Deni encounters the Cultist, I hand her Amulet of Life, because I want to draw 4 cards.
Crazed Cultist barrier banishes no matter what.
Gonna end my turn because your fights don't affect me.
End of turn:
Cast Summon Steed to ride back to the Rift.
Recharge:
(dice=Arcane 5)d10+2(/dice) -> 8
Abyssal Rift flips to the good, closed side.
Using Tonbarse to examine the "top" of the Canyon, shuffle it again, and draw him. Looking at cards 3 to 6:
(dice=Card)d4(/dice) -> 4
Could be worse:
Obstacle/Undead /Elite
Check to Defeat:
Wisdom/Divine/Stealth 11
Powers
If undefeated, a character at your location summons and encounters the henchman Wight.
FYI:
Henchman/Monster/Undead
Check to Defeat: Combat 10 OR Wisdom/Divine 8
The Wight is immune to the Mental and Poison traits.
Before you act, the Wight deals 1 Cold damage to a random character at your location; when that character is dealt damage, she buries those cards instead of discarding them.

After you play a spell with the Attack trait, bury it.
At the start or end of your turn, you may examine the top card of the cohort Tonbarse's location, then (▢ you may) shuffle that deck, then draw Tonbarse.
When you play a blessing (▢ or a spell or an ally) on a check by a character at Tonbarse's location, you may recharge it (▢ or shuffle it into your deck) instead of discarding it.
For Alase's combat check at that location: use Arcane skill + AD + Melee
When character at that location encounters a bane, Alase may give a card to that character OR that character may recharge a card.
Alase may draw this card at the start or end of her turn.
Things to note:
CMB, I cleared the first two Canyon cards, then shuffled it.
Alase and Tonbarse are at the Abyssal Rift.
Abyssal Rift is good side up.
Everyone fights a Cultist of Baphomet Henchman (stats in my post on previous page). If you lose we lose 1 blessing from the blessing deck.
Deni, I gave you an Amulet of Life.
Tricky detail:
You can't use my d12 blessing on your Baphomet fight because I didn't have it yet.

<OUT OF TURN CULTIST COMBAT>
Luckily, I was just reading this Sage's Journal while sitting atop my camel and holding my Long Sword, when this crazed cultist henchman decided to attack me. I will secretly hope the dice have decided to like me more, as I need much better roles than have previously occurred to pull this off... okay, here goes
I knock the crazied cultist back to whence he came, and wonder where that d8 has been my whole life. Everything was a reveal, so my hand is unchanged. I now must go do something to appease the dice gods for having two of my dice roll well.... I won't bring up the other two to them at this moment. Gotta take what I can get :)
Dang. One turn lost.
Waiting for Parody and TH to fight a Cultist of Baphomet.
Then Eliandra can take her turn for real.

Deni, please note one change to your hand, you have an Amulet of Life... feel free to discard that to search for better cards, if need be.
I'll reveal my Arquebus:
so the Cultist is gone.
Now, did it blow up?
Ow! Darn it. Shuffled into my deck. Hopefully I won't lose my spare pistol.

Okay, I'm fighting a Corrupted Soldier.
Well, that was solid. I explore! Fiendish Minotaur. He deals damage to me, which I'll take in the Force Shortbow. I would like a blessing from the table for this one, but I don't think we have many to spare, so I'll just go without it and hope my weapon doesn't do me wrong.
Wooooooooooo! Go d10! And killing (or trying to kill) the Corrupted Soldier for the close.

Alright, Crowe has one last chance to get out of this Maze. Let's see how it goes.
...
..
I'm sorry everyone. It's a Demonic Horde. I've ruined everything. I also don't know what the best way to do this online. I guess I'll steal the turn order list and roll on that. If there's no objections, rather than everyone showing up to roll one die and wait again, I'll roll six times, and we can see what we're dealing with.
1. Yoon
2. Uliah
3. Angban
4. Alase
5. Korundo
6. Crowe
Looks like Korundo is stuck dealing with two, and Uliah gets off scott free.
OK, time to fight a Demonling. Not even going to attempt the BYA check. Since this is likely my last combat, I'll use my Longsword and my bury ability (adding Force, not Electricity, thanks to immunities).
That'll do it. Hopefully it goes well for everyone else. I'm going to hang onto a weapon, and discard most of the rest of it, in the hopes of getting cards that help people.

Thanks, Randy! Two demonlings! The best present you've ever given me! (Nooooo)
Let's see if I spot that (first) Demonling before he comes!
No dice.
Well, sugarcakes. I was hoping one of those d4s would be a 1 if that happened. On the bright side, I don't take damage.
Demonling #2 flies up in my face.
I continue not to spot them.
Well that one dies.
Hand is the same.
Since we already failed the barrier, I'm going to not play my Wheellock Pistol and instead just punch it, bury my armor for the damage, and perhaps still be able to fight on my turn and/or close one of the locations with a "banish weapons" clause.
Bury Hide Armor to reduce all damage to 0.
The Guardpost, which is closed. Are there still Corrupted Soldiers wandering around?

Alase and Tonbarse vs Demonling at Abyssal Rift.
Decent chance on BYA. Reveal Stalking Armor for +2 Perception.
Made that.
Although d10+d4+3 is pretty good vs Combat 8, it's not automatic, and losing would most likely cause a scenario fail. Since we've already lost vs. the Horde, I'll play Create Pit to evade the Demonling. (So the spell wasn't useless. I eat my words.)

When you play a blessing (▢ or a spell or an ally) on a check by a character at Tonbarse's location, you may recharge it (▢ or shuffle it into your deck) instead of discarding it.
For Alase's combat check at that location: use Arcane skill + AD + Melee
When character at that location encounters a bane, Alase may give a card to that character OR that character may recharge a card.
Alase may draw this card at the start or end of her turn.
Tomehound:
-- Demonling could trap you in Maze so it's best to win
-- I can play Black Spot for -2 difficulty on defeat check.
-- I can give a d12 blessing (Rift is closed this round & I'm guaranteed to draw a blessing next round).
Does anyone fight with Charisma, typically? I think not.
That being the case -- if someone on their turn wants a +3 Charisma boost to grab an ally that grants an explore, go ahead and use my Eloquence.

Yaaay!
Now for real turn!
It's a Mad Knight!
He's veteran, so it's a combat 14.
Robert, I think I'll take you up on that Black Spot, and d12 blessing as well, because if I can beat this guy, I can draw a random corrupted blessing from the deck and hopefully explore again (and maybe maybe find the villain?).
Well, here's hoping. For the glory of Gom-Gom!
Cool, smote 'im. Little sad at the overkill and all, cuz wasted resources (sorry Robert) but at least I get another explore out of the deal.
@CMB: can I have a random corrupted blessing from the box?
No sweat -- looks like your dice averaged 14, which is a bit tight vs a 14 Combat check.

So, I discard the Blessing of Baphomet that I drew after fighting the knight, permitting me to explore again. Unfortunately, because the top card of the blessings deck is itself corrupted(Blessing of Shax), after I play Baphomet I must discard a card. Given that I may need my weapon to discard for temporary closing ability, and I require my Fan of Flames for maximum combat, my lord Gom-Gom displays his selfless nobility and casts himself into my discard pile before I can utter a word against it.
With teary eyes, I continue my exploration...
Leather Armor. My lord Gom-Gom has left me protection in his stead!
Since I can't fail to acquire the armor, I swiftly don it in (and then discard it for maximum hand drawing) honor of my lord.

Okay. My Blessing is Blessing of Ascension . So, let's get this party started.
My first card in Canyon is Faxon THE VILLAIN.
Locations will need to be temped closed but I am going to continue my turn as if they were closed.
Okay, before I act, all characters must recharge any cards that have the healing traits. While I act, to play a card you must first recharge a card.
So, If I have this correct, I reveal the camel as a power, which is not playing the card. So I don't have to recharge a card for that.
I recharge the Amulet of life to play my long sword and discard it for extra. I recharge the recruit to play my BotG. Unfortunately, I can't use Sage's journal because I don't have a card to recharge first.
I will take a blessing from Tomehound and a blessing from Rando.
He is dead. And I am fairly certain Rando and Tomehound can banish weapons to temp close the open locations,
WE WIN
I discard my beloved Haki Stick to temporarily close my location, recharge Possession to play Sign of the Lantern Bearer on Deni's check.

Way to go, Deni! You were right on the Camel reveal not requiring a recharge. (Playing a card is manipulating a card to use a power written on the card itself, or choosing to activate a power on a displayed card.)
Great job, gang! I was a little worried there for a moment....
I'm dashing out for the night. I have some thoughts about the strengths/challenges of our party composition which I might burden y'all with later.

I wanted to give Korundo a try, but I do kind of feel like he's the weaker version of several members of this party---Crowe has better melee, Uliah has better divine, and Alase has better survival. I could be convinced to trade out for a Rivani, who has Arcane and Knowledge, two things we're a little more short on.
Congrats, everyone!

I put some thought into this this morning.
Mainly I was asking: how could we close 3 locations on turns 4-6, and then arrive anywhere in the vicinity of losing on time?
Here are some stats. I may be off slightly, and some things skew this, like using a Compass to explore, and the fact that not all Allies & Blessings explore.
Still, I think this is helpful.
I do realize that power,skill and card feats will continually improve this picture.
Hand size:
Alase 6
Crowe 5
Yoon 5
Uliah 5/4 (Mount in hand)
Angban 4
Korundo 4
Explores in deck (Allies + Blessings only):
Yoon 7
Korundo 7
Alase 7
Uliah 7/6 (Holding Mount for combat)
Crowe 4
Angban 4
Combat (typical/boosted) ranked by boosted*
Crowe d12+2d4+1(+d10) = 12(18) (rapier - bury card for +d10)
Angban d8+d6+3(+d10) = 11(16)(pistol - bury then recharge +d10)
Yoon d10+d8+2(+d6) = 12(15) (reveal spell - discard for +d6)
Uliah d6+d8+2(+d4) = 10(12) (longsword - reveal Mount +d4)
Korundo d8+d6+d4+2 = 12 (power +d4,reveal Animal)
Alase d10+3 = 8 (Tonbarse)
Observations:
As a group, we are handsize-challenged.
Our two best fighters are explore-challenged.
Half the group doesn't easily boost above a 12 average Combat check.
And - we need that little girl (Yoon) taking names & kicking you-know-what. (3rd best fighter, tied for 2nd Hand Size, tied for 1st #/explores)
Eliandra is considering:
Rivani - Psychic, Occult deck - a combat caster
Hand size 6
Allies+Blessings 6
Combat d10+2d4+2(+d4) 12(15) (Fiery Glare - discard spell for +d4)
This would be a slight step up for combat, but a flexibility gain (6 hand size vs 4). E, it's up to what you think you will enjoy, IMO.
Strategy implications:
First, when we can explore 2-3 times on a turn, we need to seize that chance.
BUT, Second, I plan to change my playstyle to focus on support & not on exploring. To reliably win combats, I siphon off blessings, and we can't afford that.
My idea is to team up at a location with someone - ideally Crowe or Angban -- and feed them cards to power their explores. They can give cards to me if need be for my health.
*Calculating dice average as: (max die 1)*0.5 + (max die 2)*0.5 + 1 +....
Also, asking because I'm a little dense: will we play all of AD1, and stop there? Or will we play until April 30, when Outpost ends? Or what, exactly?
So, rewards: I choose Weapon. (No surprise. :)
1. Bayonet
2. Blunderbuss
3. Dragon Pistol
4. Hand Cannon
5. Musket
6. Pistol +1
7. Double-Barreled Musket
8. Pepperbox
9. Shock Musket +1
- Pistol +1, cool! (Honestly, anything but the Bayonet would have been fine.)
Skill feat will be +1 to Dexterity, also no surprise.
Upgrades: I'd love the Weapon 1, of course; my Armor 1 and Blessing B choices are both good. I don't need an Ally or Spell and will take an Armor B instead if the singles are taken. (I don't know what everyone else needs; with a decent Weapon upgrade already I'd rather defer to folks who didn't get a good card from their box draw.)
I wanted to give Korundo a try.... I could be convinced to trade out for a Rivani, who has Arcane and Knowledge, two things we're a little more short on.
You should play whoever you feel like playing. :)
Also, asking because I'm a little dense: will we play all of AD1, and stop there? Or will we play until April 30, when Outpost ends? Or what, exactly?
The description said we might get into Adventure 2. I just assumed we'd play until the group wanted to stop.
Totally missed that CMB had ninja'd me by 9 minutes, of course....
Does anyone want the Item B? I'd use it to grab either a Potion of Healing or a Cape of Escape -- both seem useful for me & for others. If so, I'd draw Spell.
But if someone is keen on the Item B, you can either persuade me or roll me for it. If I don't get it, I'll draw Item.
Always happy to have a Hunter around. Even if he is a half-orc ;)
Charisma for skill because I need all the Combat help I can get.
Just noticed the existence of the Discussion tab (Alase' Perception is a d8+2, but my own's a d4*...) If anyone has thoughts about my analysis, or your own, post it there. Thanks.
*I sat in on a fascinating discussion at TotalCon with RPG GMs, facilitated by Alexander Jakl of Dark Phoenix Events. An interesting point: if a character has a strong Disable skill, you don't expect the player himself/herself to tell the GM exactly how they pick a lock, but a dissonance can occur if the *character* is very charming but the *player* is socially inept... An example being a charming old gentleman character in Call of Cthulu approaching a sobbing, grieving old woman unknown to him by the player saying, "Hey! What's up, buttercup?!" It was suggested the GM should be guided by the character's skills and charisma determining the effects of what the player says, rather than strictly evaluating the player's words.
I’d like the blessing B - already content with my allies, no better weapons for Yoon than the Haki Stick, and my good spells really start at level 1, which I didn’t get on my random draw.
Definitely Constitution for my skill feat - better combat is good.
To move things along, I'll take the Item B. I'm giving up Amulet of Life for Cape of Escape. (I figure with the Cape in hand, I can post Tonbarse away from me with less fear of Blights and Hordes.)
Random draw is spell:
Good Omen, B.
I'll keep that. Although I pulled some cool (luckier than I deserved) shenanigans with Summon Steed, I'll swap that out.
Taken:
Item B - Alase/Robert
Weapon 1 - Parody (willing to take Armor 1 instead)
Blessing B - Tomehound
Spell C - Eliandra
Still to choose:
Crowe/Rando
Uliah/Deni
