PACG Season of the Runelords: Dark Waters Rising (Inactive)

Game Master jduteau

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

Eddy, that is too bad, but I understand. I hope you enjoyed your first foray into our online way of playing PACG. As Radillo said, if you want a spot in our next game (which will probably be Mummy's Mask rather than Season of the Righteous!), you'll be first dibs! :)

For of those us still around, for completing our first scenario, we all get 1 skill feat. Please let me know what your skill feat is. Ostog's is Strength. :)

Ostog wil start in the Nettlemaze.

Hand: Longspear, Mace, Crowbar, Caltrop Bead

Deck: 11 Discard: 0 Buried: 0
Note: @Nettlemaze

Ostog initiative: 1d100 ⇒ 93

Turn 01
Blessing: Blessing of the Gods

Alahazra

Desecrated Vault - Alahazra

Potion of Fortitude - Item C
Liquid/Alchemical/Basic

Check
Intelligence/Craft 4

I have a couple good choices for Skills. I will start with Wisdom.

+1 INT

Cha

So Alahazra found the Potion of Fortitude using the Boatswain. What now?

I can go grab that. I don't need to stay at the Dungeon if it's the only place Radillo can reasonably close.

We will use a cure and a blessing to foresee what lurks at the Deeper Dungeons and the Warrens

( as to your question J, I didn't upgrade so It returned back to Base deck. That being Burst Bonds)

After all those rolls and rulings i opted to upgrade to an itme so we all get something. Didnt realize it was Spell or nothing for you. Retcon that upgrade!

I missed that post. I wish you hadn't, you won it fair and square

Oh don't worry, I will get the next one.

When you attempt to acquire an ally, you may use your Arcane skill in place of any listed skill.

Spell B for Me: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Deeper Dungeons - Grindylow - Monster P: Check: Combat 13
Warrens - Greatsword - Weapon B: Check: Strength/Melee 11

I can attack the Grindylow with Frigid Blast.

Moving to Deeper Dungeons

Frigid: 1d12 + 2d4 + 5 - 0 ⇒ (9) + (1, 1) + 5 - 0 = 16 Iced

Recharging: 1d12 + 3 - 0 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 0 = 13 Iced

Use Clockwork baby to examine next card

To the extreme You rock a Frigid Blast like a vandal
Light up a Deck and wax a Grindylow like a candle.

Top card of Deeper Dungeons is Skeleton Horde - Barrier B (each character at an open location summons and encounters an Ancient Skeleton henchman).

end turn

Ill explore the Thassalonian Dungeons.

Sorry for being away, I was in Montreal and flew back on Friday and have been busy catching up at home on the weekend.

Thassilonian Dungeon - Radillo

Charm Person - Spell B
Magic/Arcane/Mental

Check
Intelligence/Arcane 4

Powers
Bury this card to draw 1 random Human ally from the box and add it to your hand.
If you do not have the Arcane skill, banish this card.

No worries! Glad you're bak safely! Gives me time to liok over the inquisitor deck!

Auto Acquire.

Hmm. Are there any folks of a helpful sort around?
Bury Charm Person to draw a Random Human.
If it has straight-forward discard to Explore text, I'll use that, otherwise I'll use my fox.

Card acquired was a Soldier (+1d4 to Melee combat check), discarded to explore...

Thassilonian Dungeon - Radillo

Locked Passage - Barrier B
Lock/Elite

Check
Dexterity/Disable 8
Strength/Melee 16

Powers
If defeated, examine the top card of the location deck, then put it either on the top or the bottom of the deck.

Alahazra, may I use a BotG? My d8 is unlikely to succeed, and so the barrier would remain...

Be my guest!

Mother has a Blessing of the Elements that might help as well.

Fingers, BE NIMBLE!(8): 2d8 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8
Good Enough!
I examine the top card of the Thassilonian Dungeon

Top card of the Dungeon is Invisibility - Spell B.

I'm going to stop there, either way.

With Charm Person, we've got one Spell B to cover my Augury. Anyone interested in an additional Spell B? Otherwise, I'm going to bottom-deck the Invisibility to expedite the closing of the Thassilonian Dungeon.

The next Spell B I would take is Find Traps which is pretty handy, but no rush

I might try and snag that potion of Fortitude so I can close the Deeper dungeons if necessary

Potion: 1d6 + 0 - 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 - 0 = 1

Failed. So I will use Fireblade to foresee the next card please

Sorry, that was a mistake on my part. The Potion was already taken by Mother Myrtle.

I will use Fireblade to foresee the next card please (Havent moved or explored yet)

We know that the next card at the Deeper Dungeons is the Skeleton Horde. I will spoiler the next card at the Vault if that is where you want to foresee...

Shall I trigger the Horde ladies and gents?

The extra combat will compromise my ability to close anything, but if we have to encounter it anyway...
