PACG 0-1F: The Treasure of Jemma Redclaw (Inactive)

Game Master jduteau

The blessings deck is different for this scenario - 19 random blessings, then the Villain Jemma Redclaw and then 10 blessings.

The difficulty to defeat Jemma Redclaw is increased by 10. For each villain (there are two - Master Scourge and Mister Plugg) defeated, the difficulty to defeat Jemma Redclaw is reduced by 5.

When you would defeat Master Scourge or Mister Plugg, display him next to the scenario. If he would escape, shuffle him into the location deck he came from instead.

When you would discard Jemma Redclaw from the blessings deck, encounter her. If she is undefeated, discard a card from the top of the blessings deck and return her facedown to the top of the blessings deck.

To win the scenario, defeat Jemma Redclaw.

Does this mean:
there are no henchmen
and
Scourge and Plugg won't close their location because the "would defeat" effect prevents it?

Sorry, there are henchmen:

Aretta Bansion = Combat 8; if check to defeat has Slashing or Swashbuckling, add 1d4.
Fipps Chumlett = Combat 8; if check to defeat has Finesse or Swashbuckling, add 1d4.
Jaundiced Jape = Combat 8; if check to defeat has Piercing or Swashbuckling, add 1d4.
Maheem = Combat 8; if check to defeat has Bludgeoning or Swashbuckling, add 1d4.

All of them allow you to close location if defeated.

The villains:

Master Scourge = Combat 12; BYA, succeed at Con/Fort 7 check or he is evaded. AYA, deals 1 Poison damage to you.
Mister Plugg = Combat 14; BYA, succeed at Wis/Surv 8 check or he is evaded. AYA, bury a card.

Jemma Redclaw = Combat 21 (11 + 10); BYA, rechard a card, then summon and encounter the Shackles Pirate Ship. If undefeated, bury the bottom 1d4 cards of your deck.

Master Scourge and Mister Plugg will close their location, but then get displayed next to the scenario and provide a -5 to the difficulty to defeat Jemma Redclaw. And note that if they would escape, they don't actually go to a random location. They go back to the location that they came from and no blessings get added to the other decks.

No auguries in Ezren's deck, so I think I'm safe in posting the top card...

Thank you. I knew the DM wouldn't be an explore, but forgot if I did get magic then that would lose me an explore.
