@City Gate, would like to go to Farmhouse but the dog keeps biting

I do like dogs, but the only food I have for him is my Turtle, so maybe later.

Meanwhile, I wonder if the Goblin Fortress has any goblins. Let's find out!

I believe that was an emphatic yes!

Looks like I did not reset in the confusion, yes you may have a BotG!

I can add only enthusiasm.

You can do it!

I'm glad you are temp closing sites, because this may not be Sajan's best solo fight. At least I won't need the Potion of Glibness for this encounter.

A goblin effect is .. 1d6 ⇒ 5

You list 7 cards in your hand, but I think your deck size is only 6?

Wait, really? :) I suppose I still need to take some fire damage, yes? Like monks do.

Ha ha! That might actually be the best result here. Basically Gogmurt blows up and retreats to another location. From what I've read online, you don't even have to do the BYA damage since this replaces the encounter. So take 1d4 damage, he is defeated, so the Fortress is closed, and then we'll see which options he has for retreating.

Upon closing the Fortress, there are 4 weapons placed in it and Sajan finds a:

Light Crossbow - Weapon B
Bow/Ranged/Piercing/Basic

Powers
For your combat check, reveal this card to roll your Dexterity or Ranged skill + 1d8.
If you are proficient with weapons, you may discard this card to add 1d4 to a combat check at another location.

Ah, we roll our own effects damage? If so .. one body modification accident incoming ...

1d4 ⇒ 2

Mmm. Right on the cusp. I'll discard the Blood Periapt to reduce the damage, and try to recharge the Periapt.

recharge Fort6 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 (discarded)

What is the check to obtain the Light Crossbow?

What is the check to obtain the Light Crossbow?

No check required, you get it automatically from the Fortress rules.

Ah, yes! In that case, Sajan rests content in the foolishness and generosity of goblin folk.

Old Light:

True, but we couldn't wait. :)

We just have to assume that you will try your hardest even if Sajan failed at the check to defeat.

But we should use spoiler tags for things like that.

She ended up with two blessings in her hand, so you did take one and managed to close the Old Light.

So Gogmurt escapes to the Farmhouse, thereby shuffling that mangy Dog into the deck as well. :)

Well of course I did!

I will go to the Old Light and Cure Radillo.

With half monsters here I don't really want to explore unless I can get a scout first, since I'd only have a d4+d6 for combat. If so and it's not a monster I'll explore.

if Alaharza has another Blessing (WHATS IN YOUR HAND MAN!?

Radillo - just for tracking purposes, can you let me know what 3 cards get cured?

Always counting from the top of the list:

Jinx Eater
Sage
Blessing of the Gods
Blessing of the Gods
Dog

Unexpected Healz: 1d7 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 21d5 ⇒ 4
Sage, Codex, BotG

That's a clever way to randomize it. Clearly you've played this game before!

I basically do the same thing at home with the physical set. One less thing to shuffle!

In case any one missed it, it's Alahazra's turn. Need to know where she's going...

Is the dog still on top at farmhouse?

No, but I think Gogmurt is there. The Farmhouse was shuffled when he ran off.

I just saw the card for Gogmurt. Nicely done.

I'll head to farmhouse

Use Clockwork Butterfly

Do you need to use your Clockwork Butterfly to explore? You have your free explore. Or are you doing that so you can avoid a monster/villain/etc.?

Yes exactly. I have no attack.

Butterfly recharged.

Soldier to explore.

Divine: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Bury Token to Recharge cure, then Recharge Boatswain to examine top of deck.

Hmm. I'm tempted to be a hero at either the Farmhouse or City Gate, but that leaves an opening at Old Light. I'll stay there(Old Light) and explore.

If you can close the Farmhouse, by all means

If you can close the Farmhouse, by all means

That almost sounded like a dare to my Elven Ears.

To the FARMHOUSE!

a) the location won't be closed because the villain is there, but it will obviously make it easy to take him out again. And Mother Myrtle is at the Old Light so we still have all of the locations covered.

b) it is a random character, so one of the both of you.

Coin flip!

So the monster here is a Shadow requiring Magic, which I don't have.

I'm thinking of just sitting here and optimizing my deck, looking for a Blessing to help Mother Myrtle to temp-close The Old Light.

I discard my Longspear and my Crowbar and get back a BotG, a Quarterstaff, and my Improvised Rock! I was hoping I could use this to brain someone!

I'm glad someone else noticed I was still at the Old Light, since I've been at work all day :)

Lag. I'm out for a couple of hours. I could try to take Gogmurt, but I'd have to make 2 combat checks with 1 weapon, no other card to assist.

That said, my weapon + skill is d10 +d6 +3 +2.

Back later.

a) Since Radillo and Alahazra are at your location, they can take one of the checks for you.
b) There is the scenario chart so who knows, he could "blow up real good" again. Of course, he could also be really mad and be +10 to checks.

Let me know...
