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

I just came back from my FLGS and now have the Alchemist Class deck so I can see what the heck all of these new cards are. :)


Oh right. The villain isn't necessarily on top. /bonk

Yeah, I could weather a hand wipe either way. Onward through the Farmhouse!


Actually, the Villain is the one card there, so it is on top.

Roll against the scenario table:

1. Before you act, succeed at a Constitution or Fortitude 5 check; if you fail, subtract 2 from each die you roll during this encounter.
2. The difficulty of checks to defeat the bane is increased by 10.
3. After you act, move to a random other location.
4. A random character at your location encounters the bane instead. That character does not roll on this table.
5. The bane is defeated; each character at your location is dealt 1d4 Acid damage.
6. Bury a random card from your discard pile.

And then, if you don't get a 5, then you get to deal with this fire-casting Goblin Druid:

BYA, Gogmurt deals 1d4-1 Fire damage to you.

Check
Combat 10 then Combat 12

BEFORE YOU DOING ANY OF THAT, OSTOG AND MOTHER MYRTLE HAVE TO TEMP CLOSE THEIR LOCATIONS


I recharge my Quarterstaff due to the Bandit's powers.

Then a Combat 8 with my discarded Heavy Pick...(any 6s on the d6s are actually 7s)

Combat 8: 1d10 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (1, 1) = 10

Defeated and the City Gate is temp-closed.

NOTE: I have a BotG for anyone to use, if needed.


know 6: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
He won't get by me!


Okay, both locations temp closed. Defeat the villain and we win. Remember the d6 check and then, between the three of you, figure out who is doing what (with Sajan having to do one of the checks).


Goblin effect: 1d6 ⇒ 5


Seriously. Second time I get all worked up over a fight. Of course, I can't avoid damage this time.

Acid damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

You don't need to avoid the damage. We win.

Wow, I totally missed that. Plus it's a game rule I know. Yeah, I was scatter brained last night. :p

Acid damage: [dice=]1d4

That is hilarious. He just kept exploding in front of us. It does make the encounter somewhat anti-climactic. But better that than his checks being +10!


Perhaps he is related to Mogmurch?


Well that's it, then. I ended up short one Ally and I picked up:
Item B
Armor B
Those would allow me to pick up a Potion of Healing or of Nightvision.

What's the scenario reward?


Scenario Reward: For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 item in her deck with the adventure deck 1 loot Sihedron Medallion. At the end of each scenario, return the loot to the game box.

We have the following acquired cards:

Weapon B x 2
Spell B
Armor B
Item B x 2
Ally B x 2

Each of us get to choose one of those cards and trade one of our current cards for a card from our box.

Ostog would like one of the Weapon's so he can upgrade to a Greatsword.


Sajan can't use spells or armor, and doesn't mind taking left overs or none.

I started with 3 pretty good weapons, so if anyone gets a good upgrade from those, please take it.

The "Silver Raven Figurine" (item) is interesting. It recharges to allows me to give or take a weapon, armor or item from another player, and can be played when a player encounters a card.

I don't think any of you would benefit from my weapons or vice versa. I'd likely banish any armor you lend me, and I'd have 2 other possible items to send off, if they are in my hand.

So I guess I'm saying it's a corner case item, but it SOUNDS cool. Heheh.


I'm fine with Item or Ally.


I wish to keep the Holy Light I found, so spell B please

So I have the following...

Radillo? Sajan?

I will get the 2nd scenario set up and we can start soon.

I'd like to roll for the Spell B(Augury), otherwise I'll take an Item B(Token of Remembrance).

For that Blast Stone I banished, I get to pick an Item B, Basic from the box correct? I'll grab the Bracers of Protection if that's the case.


Radillo, Enchanting Ensorceler wrote:

Ooh, our first roll-off! If both of you can't agree on who gets the Spell B, then I'll do a roll-off. But I'll give you one more chance to come to an arrangement.

Yes. To replace any cards, you get to pick B-Basic cards.


Spell B roll off :(

I like your style, no haggling!

Is higher better? or worse?
I'd assume higher would be the logical roll-type, plus I can make that decision outright since it favors you!

For Augury!: 1d100 ⇒ 57


I have allowed you to determine high or low, but Ties are my domain!

I say Alphabetical :)

Ignoring me eh?

Winner winner chicken dinner: 1d100 ⇒ 49

I have no idea what's going on anymore.
We need an adult.


It appears to me that Radillo wins the roll-off for the Spell and gets Augury.

Alahazra can console herself with one of the other cards if she wants.

Alahazra, do you agree with this adulting?


First choice Item, second choice Weapon.

If Alahazra and Myrtle want an item, we could have a 3 way roll off!


Nothing else seems to work. My deck will stay basic then


I win with either category so I'll let you choose. :)


Ostog - Weapon B
Alahazra - Nothing (and she's sulking about it!)
Mother Myrtle - Ally B
Radillo - Spell B
Sajan - Item B

Scenario 2-1A Development:

You slaughter the Mosswoods, but something is amiss. Every one of these rotters has the same stomach-wrenching facial mutations as the one impaled on the tree.
And there’s the matter of the goblins wanting to “slake their thirst.” Normally, goblins thirst for blood and meat, but these seemed to want some sort of other form of liquid. If you didn’t know better, you’d think they were drunks craving their next tavern stop.
Then again, why couldn’t they be? You had better tell the leaders of Sandpoint about your discovery. Surely they will listen to bold adventurers like yourselves.

Scenario 2-1B: The Problem With Dragons
The wooden sign boasts a fragment of looking glass. “Welcome to Sandpoint!” it says. “Please stop to see yourself as we see you.”
Hmmm. That’s a nice sentiment, but at the moment it’s hard to want that. The locals are embattled with fear, brandishing pitchforks and sharpened shovels in your direction.
“Undoubtedly you have heard the shocking news of the goblins who attack during the day,” you say. “Most troublingly, they are covered with—”
“WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE?” asks the nearest local. “Why would you trouble us with such trivialities when there are real problems to deal with?”
This local is no mere farmer. This massive Shoanti brute bears the garb of a jailer. “I will chuck you in the pen if you distract us from our vigilance.”
“Now, now, Vachedi,” says an aristocratic woman. “Please let these adventurers speak what they know. I’m Mayor Kendra Deverin.”
You tell the mayor of your troubles with the Mosswood Tribe, but the rest of her followers are distracted. They watch the skies.
“You can see we have other problems,” the mayor says. “Our
livestock has been savaged by a creature from the skies, destroyed
by teeth and acid. We fear we are under the siege of a dragon 7 named Black Fang.”
You offer your assistance, and the townsfolk are all too willing to accept.

Alrighty. I know I've hated the feeling of not getting anything in our S&S campaign, so Alahazra will take the Spell B, and I'll take the other Item B. I would very very very very much like to call dibs on the next Spell B, though

Furthermore, I don't want to go irritating our primary scouter!

What card did you swap out for Holy Light?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Hey ladies and gents, sorry to do this, but I think I should back out of the game.

That was the short version. I wanted to let you know asap so you could make changes to the scenario setup if needed. You have actually been great helping me get started, so I do hope you aren't bummed about it. I mean, maybe if you got to know me you'd be heartbroken .. (okay, maybe not). :p

TL;DR version

Spoiler:

I'm currently in a role playing game based on Rise of the Runelords. We have a really good GM that likes to play out story based adventures, so I'm trying to avoid foreknowledge of that campaign.

I HAVE played Skulls&Shackles and didn't think there were any problems, and I KNOW this is a different storyline from RotR. But, I'm pretty spoiler phobic and I'm noticing people, places, things, etc., from this set in the RotR campaign. I know, I know, they don't do exactly the same things, but I'm already noticing in our RPG that familiarity of campaign elements is holding me back from participating in discussions.

I'm relatively new to Paizo and Pathfinder, so I thought this was a new / different set of locations, henchmen, and villains, borrowing the same basic cards like armor, weapons, spells and such. I'm already noticing similarities to things we covered in the RPG. I expect starting in Sandpoint with the same NPC's is an efficient use of the materials for ppl that have already been through the first story.

Anyway, I figured it was better to back out now. Truth is, I may be totally wrong about this, but I'm going with my RPG GM on this one, as he is similarly spoiler phobic.

So again, seriously .. Sorry. Because this is a fun group.

Oh Eddy, we hardly knew ya'

While the two Adventure Paths are different, I could see the reuse of certain locations and villains/henchmen causing some spoiler-issues. Maybe when we eventually run Season of the Righteous (right, jduteau? ;] ) we can snap you up again.


Hehehe. That'd be cool. Thanks guys (& gals?).


I did not foresee this outcome

Sorry to lose you, but I understand wanting to avoid spoilers.

I played RotR PACG before the RPG. I found the card game enhanced my appreciation of the RPG and made it easier to remember the NPCs and story. I had fun showing my group the cards of the things that came up as we encountered them in the game.

Sorry to lose you; glad it's for a good reason.
