PACG 0-1D: Salvage Operations (Inactive)

Game Master jduteau

For Gozreh!: 1d8 + 3 - 0 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 0 = 9

I guess I will expend it to keep digging here

I guess I will expend it to keep digging here

Just want to confirm that you don't want to close the location but keep looking at stuff?

Missed it was the odd card out!

Yes please let's plunder for the close! 1d6 + 0 - 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 - 0 = 3

Armor

Cloth Armor

Check
Constitution/Fortitude 2

I'm pretty sure you took +1 CON so that is an auto-acquire and an auto-close.

Need to roll to determine ship damage. I can discard a card if needed.

1d4 + 0 - 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 - 0 = 3

So that's actually a 2

I will discard my whip if needed?

I can discard my Sage's Journal. No Henchmen or Villain in this adventure.

Notwithstanding taking damage to save the ship, here is the next turn info...

Ezren, Koren

Since everyone is coming to my location, I will point out that I have the power to discard the top card of my deck to add 1d6+1 to any check by another character at my location.

Hand: Paladin's Helm, BotG, BotG, Leather Armor

Deck: 9 Discard: 4 Buried: 0
Note: discard top card for 1d6+1, use the BotG to defeat barriers!

I will discard the whip

I'll explore and encounter Pirate Hunting!

On the horizon we spot a Shackles Pirate Ship

I can only attempt a Disable check and I'll need to use Koren's aid:

You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of.: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (3) + 1 = 11

But you have heard of me.

I'll use my Master-At-Arms to explore and add Swashbuckling to my combat checks.

Fringes of the Eye

Lookout Duty
Barrier B

Traits
Task
Veteran

Check
Wisdom/Perception 10 (6 + 3 for location + 1 for adventure deck number)

Powers
If defeated, you may look at the top card of the barrier's location deck; if it is a monster, you may immediately encounter it.
If undefeated, your ship is dealt 1 Structural damage. Leave this barrier face on the location deck; characters at this location encounter this barrier as their first exploration each turn.

The top card of my deck was Scale Mail, so that gets recharged instead of discarded for the bonus.

Plunder card for defeating the Shackles Pirate Ship:

1d6 ⇒ 4

An item...

Since your card was recharged, I'm double dipping!

Whoever assigned Vika Lookout Duty isn't a very savvy leader...: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + (3) + 1 = 11

These rolls, man. Law of averages is going to hit me hard very soon, I suspect

Lets see what's on top of the deck!

Fringes of the Eye

Blessing of the Gods
Blessing B

Traits
Divine/Basic

Check
None

And there goes my Holy Water Grenade! All to help out with Lookout Duty.

Well that ends my turn then.

I draw up (a mace) and end my turn.

Hand: Greatclub, Warhammer, Longsword, Mace, Longsword

Deck: 6 Discard: 9 Buried: 0
Note: At Fringes of the Eye.
I can recharge Mace, Warhammer, or the Greatclub to add 1d6 to other's combat checks at the FotE.
Don't hesitate, I have 5 weapons.

So I explore next and acquire the Blessing.

I use it to explore again.

Fox
Ally B

Traits
Animal/Basic

Check
Wisdom/Survival 7

I'm going to use a blessing to try and ensure I get this Fox...

Wisdom 7: 1d10 + 1d10 ⇒ (7) + (2) = 9

The fox is my friend and I use him to explore again...

Fringes of the Eye

Lookout
Ally B

Traits
Elf/Pirate/Basic

Check
Charisma/Diplomacy 6

I use my other Blessing to get the Lookout (what the heck, let's clear out this location!)...

Charisma 6: 1d8 + 1d8 ⇒ (5) + (6) = 11

The Lookout joins us!

I recharge him to look at the top card of the location deck and then end my turn.

Blessing of the Gods
Blessing B

Traits
Divine/Basic

Check
Auto

Hand: Mace, Lance, Strength, Paladin's Helm, Leather Armor

Deck: 6 Discard: 9 Buried: 0

Turn 17
Blessing: Blessing of Erastil

Jirelle

Locations:

only location that counts...

Fringes of the Eye
At This Location: The difficulty of checks to defeat barriers is increased by 3.
When Closing: Summon and defeat a random barrier; if undefeated, each character at this location random chooses a location and moves to it.
When Permanently Closed: On closing, add 1d4 random barriers and 1d4 random blessings to this location deck without looking at them, then encounter the top card.
M:0 Ba:1 W:1* Sp:0 Ar:0 I:0 Al:0 Bl:1 (Total: 3)
NOTE: BotG on top
Koren, Vika, Ezren

Catching Up. After I discard my whip for the closing effect this is my hand;

Hand: Deathbane Light Crossbow, Amulet of Life, Masterwork Tools, Burglar, Gozreh

(Displayed: )
Deck: 6 Discard: 5 Buried: 0
Note: Shipwreck Graveyard

Now moving to Fringes of the eye, Pick up the Blessing of the Gods and will explore again.

Fringes of the Eye

Barroom Brawl
Barrier B

Traits
Skirmish/Veteran

Check
Strength/Melee/Dexterity 9 (5 + 3 for location + 1 for adventure deck number)

Powers
Each character at this location encounters this barrier. Each character that does not defeat the barrier is dealt 2 Combat damage. If any character defeats this barrier, it is defeated.

Note: This isn't a combat check, so you can't use your weapons. It's a bar fight! :)

I do have my ability so you can have an armour, you can have an armour, you can all have an armour!

Vika's 1d10+2 Melee plus 1d6+1 from my power should enable him to defeat the barrier. I have my Strength spell which gives a +3 for Strength, but we still have the Weapon to acquire and I thought I'd save that for the weapon (hoping that it is a Melee weapon and not a Ranged weapon). But I can cast it if we want to ensure success on the Brawl and take our chances with the Weapon.

I have my Paladin's Helm, so I won't take damage so I'll try to beat people up with no advantages.

Melee 9: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

I get hit on the head, but I reveal my Paladin's Helm and don't take any damage.

I am recharging the Burglar for an extra d10

Bar Fight!: 2d10 + 0 - 0 ⇒ (9, 10) + 0 - 0 = 19

I will discard the blessing to continue once the checks are done

Last card in the deck...

Boarding Axe
Weapon B

Traits
Axe/Melee/Slashing/Swashbuckling/Basic

Check
Strength/Melee 6

I'll cast Strength on you (+3 to strength checks) and discard a card for you to get another 1d6 + 1.

Axe: 2d6 + 4 - 0 ⇒ (3, 2) + 4 - 0 = 9

That triggers a possible close

Random barrier?

Pirate Hunting
Barrier B

Traits
Task/Pirate

Powers
Summon and encounter a random ship.

Sea Chanty
Ship Class 3

Check
Wisdom/Survival 6
Charisma/Diplomacy 8

Powers
You may reveal any number of allies; for each ally revealed, add 3 to your check to defeat the Sea Chanty.

A Blessing of the Gods is discarded.

You probably don't need help with a Survival check, but I reveal a Magic Scale Mail for 1d6 + 1 for your check and that gets recharged.

Alright I will use the Blessing of Gozreh as this is its purpose!

Survival: 3d8 + 1d6 + 4 - 0 ⇒ (5, 4, 6) + (3) + 4 - 0 = 22

These were the cards I gained this scenario

Onyx of Constitution
Ring of Beasts
Gozreh
Gods
Boarding Axe

I don't think you have the Blessing? You started with Gozreh, picked up the BotG and then used a Blessing to explore again to get the Barroom Brawl and then used another Blessing to explore to get the Boarding Axe.

Not that you needed it.

Plunder: 1d6 ⇒ 3

=Armor

I shuffled 4 random barriers and 2 random blessings together and the top card was another BotG.

We have finished another scenario! (Barring Vika and Ezren still fighting back in the tavern.)

You’ve found plenty of plunder for everyone in the brine dragon’s former lair. The former caretakers of these treasures were devoured, but you’ve found the booty they left behind, including a ship cast adrift. You’ll have to choose which vessel you’ll sail away on, and when you do, you better make sure you part on good terms with the mates you’ve left behind. Captain Redclaw’s pirates have been watching you closely. Whether they consider you allies or rivals remains to be seen.

Here is the list of cards that we all gained:

Longsword, Boarding Axe = Weapon B x 2
Cloth Armor, Leather Armor x 2, Magic Chain Shirt = Armor B x 4
Powder Horn, Ring of the Beasts, Onyx of Constitution, Tot Flask = Item B x 3, Item 1
Lookout, Fox, Crimson Cogward, Coral Capuchin, Cut-Throat Grok = Ally B x 2, Ally 1 x 3
BotG x5, BofErastil, BofGozreh = Blessing x 7

The Reward is:

Randomly choose a type of boon other than loot.

reward: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Item

Each character draws a random Item from the box. (B or 1).

1- Sages Journal
2- Caltrops
3- Ivory Dice
4- Potion of Energy Resistance
5- Emerald of Dex
6- Centipede Venom
7- SpyGlass
8- Helpful Haversack

Random Item: 1d8 + 0 - 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 - 0 = 7

Spyglass is really good, but I am loathe to give up my items as is.

I would have to jsut take two damage from the brawl.
1=Spyglass
2=Bracers
3-Token
4-sapphire
5-blast stone
draw: 1d5 ⇒ 1

Spyglass for me too.

I could use an Ally 1 for a Toad or Item 1 for a Sapphire.

I pulled a Horn of Battle Clarity which works best if I have allies - which I don't.

I'll take an Armor B to exchange my Scale Mail for Full Plate.

KOREN
Deck: Mace, Sagacity, Strength, Paladin's Helm, BotG, Lance, Longsword, Detect Evil, Full Plate, Magic Scale Mail, Holy Water Grenade, Sage's Journal, Gods, Gods, Iomedae
Note: +1 Con, 1d6+1 when discarding a card

Please post your updated deck after you choose your random reward and upgrade your deck with one of the acquired cards.

Here is the next scenario if you're still with me:
Nature's Wrath

Brawlin': 1d10 + 2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + (5) + 1 = 15
Nothin' Vika can't handle.

1 Conch Shell
2 Topaz of Strength
3 Helpful Haversack

Please don't be the Shell: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Haversack! And I'll take a B Blessing:

Deck: Greatclub, Warhammer, Lucerne Hammer, Longsword, Mace, Elven Breastplate, Chain Mail, Staff of Minor-Healing, Crowbar, Helpful Haversack, Master-At-Arms, Quartermaster, Blessing of Gorum, Blessing of Cayden Cailean, Blessing of the Gods

Sling, Magic Weapon, Forece Missile x2, Sphere o fire, Detect Maigc, Lightning touch, Auguryx2, eye patch, arcane robes, sapphire of intelligence, acolyte, sage, fox
