We have a few things to pick before starting our adventure:

1) Which Class 0 Ship will be our ship?
2) For each location above, we need to pick a type of boon that isn't listed in the deck list. A random boon of that type is shuffled into the location and serves as the henchman for that location. If you encounter it and acquire it, you can attempt to close the location. If you fail to acquire it, discard the top card of the blessings deck and you have to close the location the hard way. I've listed the types of boons we can choose at each location. I suspect that the type of boon we choose for a location would be dependent on who was planning to be at that location.

I'd say we use a Weapon in any possible case, since three of us are martially inclined.

I don't own S&S so I don't know the ships to pick from.

The card that we add triggers the check to close. So looking at who would probably need to close each location I'm thinking the following

Cannibal Isle = Weapon

Shipwreck Graveyard = Blessing

Floating Shipyard = Item

Seaside Warehouse = Ally

Holy Isle = Weapon

Fringes of the Eye = Weapon

1) Which Class 0 Ship will be our ship? Goblin Weidling!

But if you don't have that I'd say the Merchantman Not many of our checks to defeat a ship will have Swashbuckling as part of the check, making the Pirate ship nigh useless.

I'm fine with your suggestions. I might go with Armor at Holy Isle just because Weapons sometimes gets you Ranged weapons and since I'll probably be there, I have a better chance of getting Armor.

Goblin Weidling it is! A mini-sort of heal if necessary.

Ok do Armor!

I'm fine with your suggestions. I might go with Armor at Holy Isle just because Weapons sometimes gets you Ranged weapons and since I'll probably be there, I have a better chance of getting Armor.

Goblin Weidling it is! A mini-sort of heal if necessary.

Can you post the card text for the GW?

I'm good with that cards layout.

Allies might be lost on me if they are all Charisma-based, but otherwise, I'm light on Allies, so the buried-ally power shouldn't concern me much.

Hand: Longsword, Detect Evil, Magic Scale Mail, Paladin's Helm, BotG

Deck: 10 Discard: 0 Buried: 0
Note: @ Holy Isle

I've checked here and there approximately 80 times this afternoon... I might have a problem.

We really need each other's numbers. PM me your cell and I will add out a group text once they all roll in

I can be contacted via email, which Id be happy to share via PM.

I was thinking a group text with something along the lines of "Jirelle done, Vika up!"

That would signal both you and the GM that activity is available to them

Would that be too much?

Ok, so I've realized why it didn't seem like there was activity in the game. I've caught up and am ready to go, then will PM Troymk1 my #.

I'm fine with your suggestions for "henchmen". Is there a Villain?

Start: Floating Shipyard
Hand:
Sphere of Fire, Force Missile x2, Augury, Acolyte, Sage

No villain - have to close all of the locations to win the scenario.

Jirelle

Encountering a Deckhand, who certainly seems my sort of people

1d8 + 0 - 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 - 0 = 2

He doesn't like my swagger!

I have very little chance of closing this location. So I will stop there.

AH ! I was meant to be at the FLoating Warehouse! My fault. I will head there next time

Hand: Whip, Masterwork Tools, Standard Bearer, Abadar, Abadar, Erastil

(Displayed: )
Deck: 9 Discard: 0 Buried: 0
Note: Floating Shipyard headed to Seaside Warehouse One Abadar if you have a nasty Barrier!

AH ! I was meant to be at the FLoating Warehouse! My fault. I will head there next time

Ah, I wondered what you meant and didn't recognize the Warehouse to be Seaside. Should have asked, sorry.

Ezren

Waiting to see if Ezren plays his Augury...

Yes, augur for monsters and put them on bottom.

I thought you liked Monsters Ezren?

Three cards are:

Bucket Brigade - Barrier
Crab Swarm - Monster
Marine - Monster

Crab Swarm and Marine are put on the bottom. Bucket Brigade is shuffled into the deck...

Your card that you explore is...

Well, I'm not at home, but I'll use the sage to help recharge augury then explore and use the acolyte on the illusory wall.

augury recharge: 1d12 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (11) + (4) + 3 = 18
wall: 1d12 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + (1) = 9
If I see the bucket brigade, it will go on bottom.
I'll need to check my top deck too after I'm home.

Top card (which I'm going to assume you'll leave on the top of the deck...)

Powder Horn
Item B* (Henchman card)

Traits
Tool
Alchemical
Basic

Check
Ranged/Intelligence/Craft 6

Powers
Discard this card to search your deck for a weapon that has the Firearm trait. Add it to your hand and shuffle your deck. After playing this card, succeed at a Craft 8 check to recharge it instead of discarding it.

Given that our decks don't have any firearms, this is a useless card for us!

So Ezren gets an Intelligence 6 check to acquire the item and then an Intelligence 8 check to close the Shipyard. Given that he is 1d12 + 1, that's not so bad.

Well, I can't explore again, so iM done, but at least we know what' there now.

New hand: Eye Patch, Arcane Robes, Sphere of Fire, Fiorce Missile x2, Magic Weapon
May use Magic Weapon

Only changed location...

Floating Shipyard
At This Location: Add 3 to your checks to repair ships.
When Closing: Succeed at an Intelligence or Craft 8 check.
When Permanently Closed: You may bury a card to repair your ship.

Huzzah.

Discard Blessing of the Gods to Explore.

Lucerne Hammer...
Dire Dissection: 1d10 + 2 + 1d12 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (7) = 12
Wooo, may the rolls continue to be in my favor...

Discard Quartermaster to explore with Swashbuckling added to non-combats...

Constitution/Fortitude 5?

Am I drinking him under the table?

Grok Grab: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

He's mine. I immediately kick him to the curb to help me explore.

[dice="Grace! She passed away 30 years ago." "They want you to say grace! THE BLESSING!!"]1d6[/dice]
Erastil's energy is bestowed upon me. I use it to look around, quickly.
(Discard to explore)

Recharging the Coral Capuchin.
Lucerne + discard->recharge ability:
Pirate Punishing: 1d10 + 2 + 1d12 + 1d10 ⇒ (7) + 2 + (1) + (7) = 17

Timely ability usage...

I'll discard Signal Whistle because it blows (HAR-HAR)

Ending my turn.
Draw up.

At the Start of next turn, I'll use my Staff of Minot Healing:
1 Signal Whistle
2 Quartermaster
3 Blessing of the Gods
4 Blessing of Erastil
5 Cut-Throat Grok

Icy to dull the pain. Hot to relax it away.®: 1d5 ⇒ 4

Hand: Warhammer, Elven Breastplate, Chain Mail, Blessing of the Gods (Hand after SoMH usage)

Check
Combat 10 (9 + adventure deck number)

Powers
If the check to defeat has the Swashbuckling trait, add 1d4 to it.

I'm going to use my blessing to help with the combat, since it will automatically get me another explore.

Combat 10: 1d8 + 2 + 1d8 + 1d8 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (1) + (6) = 10

Just defeat him. And I get to explore again...

Holy Isle - Koren

Leather Armor
Armor B

Traits
Light Armor
Basic

Check
Constitution/Fortitude 2

This is an auto-acquire for me.

That is the special card that allows me to close this location.

I might as well try but if I don't succeed, I'm not sure I'll be that upset...

Divine 7: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Yep, closed. That gets the acquired Blessing back into my deck.

I recharge the Magic Scale Mail since I have the Leather Armor and the Paladin's Helm.
