Ezren will take Spite Cloud, trading Walking Stick and Death's Touch 2 for it.
Will still take the usual loot cards (Unwrapped Harmony, Akhentepi's Armor, Vision, Sand Elemental) but will not take Elemental Skin this time so it's available if someone wants it.
Also, instead of trading Magical Mansion for Vision, I'll trade Cloudburst for it (which I was previously trading for Elemental Skin). So I'll still have Vision in my deck but will now also have Magical Mansion (felt like a little more healing last time would have been a good idea!)
Reward
For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 ally in his deck with the ally Sehela and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 ally in her deck with the ally Tomb Artisan.
At the end of each scenario, return these cards to the game box.

Upgrade Preferences
Seoni’s first choice is Ally 6 (Clockwork Owl). Could also take Item 6 (Ring of Energy Resistance) or Blessing 6 (of the All-Seeing Eye).
Feat will probably be an ally, but might switch depending on what upgrade I get.
No interest in loot.
6th xp at tier 6. Bank hero point, bringing total to 7.
No Interest in new loot cards.
Upgrades:
: Griffon
: Defiant Nodachi +3
: Oathkeeper
Hero Point: spend on TBD (card feat Item if Item 6 upgrade received, otherwise, TBD, probably Skill Feat Cha +1)
Now have 2 hero points remaining in the bank.
Upgrades:
- if I get the Item 6 upgrade, spend Hero Point on Card Feat Item and then fill new empty slot with Staff of Greater Necromancy.
Also:
Have to replace Ring of Protection (Core) which was banished during the scenario.
Replace with: Wand of Flying
No interest in the new loot cards but will continue taking the ones from before.
Aric is interested in Tomb Artisan as that boost skills he has. It does not go well with his ability to recharge allies that would be discarded, so no problem letting Mavaro get it.
Deck upgrades:

Aric: ☐ When temporarily closing locations, you may discard a card to temporarily close your location.
Red Raven ☐ If a character at your location would fail a check to defeat a monster, you may discard a card to allow her to reroll the dice and take the new result.
I think even without seeing henchmen/locations, Five-Pointed Sun is enough for Seoni to go to Ghoul Market.
I typoed, my first preference was for Ally 6, as Griffon is an ally, not a weapon. Looks like I still lose out to others wanting allies, so I'll hopefully get the weapon.

Zelhara is coming to the next scenario and stopping at Ghoul Market
We may need to be very strategic this scenario.
We can’t start at 5-Pointed Sun, and can’t move at all until we close a location. So maybe we begin by ganging up on a location to try to close it quickly?
However, because we can’t move from open locations, whoever goes to babysit 5-Pointed Sun is stuck there the entire game.
Why not just leave 5-Pointed Sun unoccupied until we're ready to tackle it? It'll get a bunch of monsters added to it - which is a good reason to move fast - but otherwise someone is going to be eating 1d4 Cold dmg on each of their turns.
For Ghoul Market, Seoni’s 1st choice is Gravewatcher Chain Mail, 2nd choice is Rhino Hide Armor.
Can we get spoilers for the locations/henchmen? We need to decide who gets who. Seoni’s preferences are:
1) Mortevia: Wouldn’t mind additional damage prevention, and I don’t have to worry about losing a combat option to a random recharge. (Interest, but willing to defer if someone else wants.)
2) Varanthe: Emergency combat bonus is nice, but I’ll probably be avoiding Ruined Temple because half my deck is Divine. (Weak interest, if no one else feels strongly.)
3) Xandhul: I’ll be staying away from Eternal Arena and the Brass Golem there. (No interest, only if no one else wants.)
Just a quick note to mention that I'll be offline from August 3-11. Please bot me as needed.
I'll be at a con all weekend (DragonCon) so I probably won't be able to post until Tuesday. Bot me if needed.
4-6B: IN DEATH’S SHADOW
REWARD

Upgrades:
: Defiant Nodachi +3 (UC)

: Skyplate (UC)
Upgrade Preferences
Spent one hero point during the last scenario, so now have 1 remaining (gulp!).
Spend new hero point on Power Feat #7: [X] When another character at your location attempts a combat check that has the Arcane trait, add 2 to it. I think this will mainly be useful for Seoni.
Upgrades:
replace Scrying with Arcane Cannonade
I'd like to take the Khepresh of Refuge loot card (which will make Akhentepi's Armor loot card available if someone wants it).
Also, since this is a Siege scenario, this time I won't take Vision loot which will put Cloudburst back in my deck.
Going to Agymah trader as usual.
Question about location powers: if we are at a location with the power "Monsters you encounter have the Undead trait and are immune to the Mental and Poison traits; all damage dealt by them is Cold damage." does that apply to the monsters that we encounter from the siege deck? I think no, but I'm not positive.
Seoni’s first choice is Ally 6 (Clockwork Owl), but could also take Item 6 (Ring of Energy Resistance). I probably could also take Spell 6 (Dominate), although less enthusiastic given how many Mental-immune enemies there are (and siege scenarios for that matter).
Power feat will be to max my sorcery attack. No interest in the new loot, but I’ll probably adjust what I’m taking given the siege.
Trader will be Ghoul Market again.
Re location powers: Defensive Stance says to “encounter the top card of the siege deck as if it were the top card of your location deck”. So they would become Undead.

Ezren will take Spite Cloud, trading Walking Stick and Death's Touch 2.
And instead of swapping Cloudburst out for Vision loot, I'll swap it instead for Elemental Skin loot.
Actually, I'll swap Scrying for Elemental Skin instead, keeping Cloudburst in my deck.
Also, Ezren is taking the Khepresh of Refuge loot card (making Akhentepi's armor available). I think I posted that before the prior scenario but forgot to actually update my deck.
For this scenario Ezren will swap out Wand of Flying for Effigy of Anubis loot.
For this scenario Ezren will swap out Samisen for Mythopoeic Sphinx.

Mentioned in discord, but Raz chooses Ally.
8th xp at tier 6. Bank hero point, bringing total to 8.
I'm interested in Varanthe, since I have lots of allies and blessings, but would be happy with any of the 3, and think we could trade off if wanted.
I believe since the scenario reward grants us all a card to add to the pool, we also get a bonus upgrade. That said, I will pass. I'm about at capacity.
Traders: Sunburst Market for a Camel.
Raz’s ally: Qasin (2)
Zelhara’s blessing: Blessing of the Lady of Graves (5)
Seoni’s Ally: Fire Gecko (b)
Upgrade Preferences
Seoni’s first choice is Ally 6 (Clockwork Owl, or maybe Autumn Witch). Might conceivably be able to take a Spell 5, but still thinking that over. (Maybe Eagle Aerie for Dimension Leap? Or maybe Blizzard for Wall of Fire, although I like the anti-Undead bonus with Wall of Fire. Any opinions?)
Feat will be INT skill.
Varanthe: Will defer to Raz. Would be nice for Construct evasion, but Raz is even better Construct evasion :)
Mortevia: Interested, but willing to defer if someone else wants. It’s nice for Seoni because I don’t have to worry about losing a combat option to a random recharge.
Xandhul: Nice, but no strong feelings. Only if no one else wants.
Ezren chooses Ally.
Spend 1 hero point on Skill Feat (#7): Cha +3
Hmm, it appears that for my upgrade for the *last* scenario, I got the Spell 6 upgrade (replace Scrying with Arcane Cannonade) but then forgot to actually change that in my deck. So I'm doing that now (Scrying was swapped out last time anyway).
Not interested in any of the upgrades.
Will go to Agymah as usual.
Dropping a couple of loot cards that I had taken for the siege scenario: mythopoeic sphinx (gives me samisen back) and Effigy of Anubis (gives me wand of flying back).
And I'll go ahead and resume taking Vision (swapping out Cloudburst for it).
Ezren’s ally.
