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

Game Master jduteau

But either way, getting a card via Phantasmal Minion has "at your location" in the power.

Ah, I thought that was slightly too powerful. :)

Don't think you needed a spoiler on the close. We're all closed, so it's all up to Alahazra to defeat the evil Dragon!

Don't think you needed a spoiler on the close.

In case someone thought to offer an assist; I couldn't tell if there were free blessings in a couple of hands.

Potion: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
discarded

Acid Damage: 1d4 + 0 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 0 - 1 = 2

Amulet of Life discarded (recharge check later if needed)

Frigid Blast + Blessing: 2d12 + 2d4 + 2 - 0 ⇒ (10, 5) + (1, 4) + 2 - 0 = 22

Silly beast.

Development:
The problem with dragons, you have now learned from experience, is that they always leave themselves an exit. Even though Black Fang was barely more than a hatchling, he was smart enough to dwell in a cave with a skylight. Defeated by your might, he took to the sky.
“Foolish bipeds!” Black Fang bellowed as he belched acidic spittle. “You invade my home and steal my treasures! I shall consume you and all who live in Sandpoint!”
And at last count, you had not learned to fly. So off it went, wounded but still fearless.
This may not be the best news you can deliver to the residents of Sandpoint. But at least the dragon knows that should it attack the village again, it will be met by more than pitchforks and shovels.

Scenario Reward:
The party draws one of each type of boon other than loot from the game box.

This ended up being Bs for everything. That gives us the following cards for a deck upgrade:

Weapon B
Spell B x2
Armor B
Item B x 2
Ally B x 2
Blessing B

Tier Feat:
Every one gets a Power feat.

Mother Myrtle - we received a skill feat after defeating Scenario 1-A. I don't see where you said what you'd like. Let me know.

I'd like one of the Items to take the Horn of Battle Clarity.

I'll take the power feat where I can recharge a card to reduce any damage by 2.

I could take item or spell but don't especially need it.

Skill: wisdom
Power: divine

Spell B for me please!

Power: "When you play a spell that has the Arcane trait during an encounter, you may examine the bottom of your deck;
if it is a spell (■ or an ally), you maye put it on top of your deck (□ or add it to your hand)."

Final Disposition, barring a roll-off.

Deck: Arcane Armor, Detect Magic, Force Missile, Force Missile, Lightning Touch, Lightning Touch, Augury, Bracers of Protection, Token of Remembrance, Fox, Jinx Eater, Sage, Blessing of the Gods, Blessing of the Gods, Blessing of the Gods

I backtracked The scenario reward was the Sidhedron Medallion. Where did we get a skill feat? And who took the medallion?

Medallion is a per scenario temp replacement. No one used it this scenario.
Skill feat came from winning the first scenario in this tier (2-1A) and the Power fear came from the second (2-1B)

Oh! we are using tier rewards? Missed that

OK someone needs to keep me abreast of those as I dont have the document

Also I will use the sihedron if no one else does, but I have Amulet of Life so Im happy to see it elsewhere

When do we get a card feat?

First Scenario - Skill
Second Scenario - Power
Fourth Scenario - Card

Need to know what Card Reward Alahazra wants and then Mother Myrtle will take either Item or Spell. And what power Alahazra is taking. Then I'll publish the next scenario - no villains or henchmen but have to close all locations to win.

I'll take Item - Healing Potion.

Note:

If Myrtle really needs the spell I could go Blessing?

Okay, we're all set, so I'll get the next scenario set up and later tonight.

I want both spell and item, but can only get one at a time, so item is fine.

I think Find Traps is a really useful spell for the Party so I'm not being greedy :)

I agree; Find Traps would be a good choice.

is there a new thread?

Nope. I'm just getting SoShackles going and then I'll get the new adventure in this one up and running.

2-1C: SMALL TOWN POLITICS
"I thought you said you were heroes.”
The words of Mayor Deverin sting in your ears. After you were set upon by mutated goblins, you volunteered to help the town of Sandpoint with its cattle mutilation problem. The trail led to the young dragon Black Fang, whom you beat to within an inch of its life. Unfortunately, you really should have gone that extra inch.
“We went from having a dragon attack our cows to having a dragon swear to destroy our entire town. I don’t think there’s a farmer here who wouldn’t trade Old Bossie for the survival of Sandpoint. How do you explain this failure?”
You have very little explanation. You could not follow the wounded dragon out the skylight of its cave, and now it is free to hunt again.
“You will find no allies here,” the mayor says. “We are revoking your privileges at the Rusty Dragon, and expect you to be gone by dawn.”
So dismissed, you hope this is not the final judgment you will receive in Sandpoint. There are a dozen members on the town council, and perhaps you can find some solace at the doors of one or two of them. Either way, with nowhere to stay, you will have to try to find friends in high places.

Villians:NONE
Henchmen:NONE

(Displayed: )
Deck: 8 Discard: 0 Buried: 0

I would suggest that Alahazra start at the Temple. If you move there after, you have to discard a card. And there are the four blessings there. And I'm fine with her going first.

Ostog: 1d100 ⇒ 34
Mother Myrtle: 1d100 ⇒ 54
Radillo: 1d100 ⇒ 33

Alahazra, Radillo, Ostog, Mother Myrtle

Turn 01
Blessing: Blessing of the Gods
01/29
Alahazra

Good idea.

Use Cure to Scry Gen store, Use Blessing to Scry Rusty Dragon and I'll use the headdress there too. Then I will explore Temple

Bottom card of Rusty Dragon Inn - Goblin Warchanter

would you like me to keep track of what cards are revealed?

would you like me to keep track of what cards are revealed?

I have noted it in the location listing. Just above the card counts is what we know is on top or on the bottom.

I'll explore the Rusty Dragon

I've tried to find a picture of the Guide on Google, but failed, so I'll need the checks/text...

Rusty Dragon - Radillo

Guide - Ally B
Human/Basic

Check
Wisdom/Survival 7
Charisma/Diplomacy 6

Arcane 6: 1d10 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 3 = 8
I'll discard the Guide to Explore again.

Rusty Dragon - Radillo

Guard - Ally B
Human/Basic

Check
Constitution/Fortitude 4
Charisma/Diplomacy 6

Rusty Dragon - Radillo

Guard - Ally B
Human/Basic

Check
Constitution/Fortitude 4
Charisma/Diplomacy 6

Auto Acquired: Arcane 4: 1d10 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 3 = 5

Actually, we need to rewind a bit...

Scenario Rules: The difficulty of checks to acquire allies is increased by 5. When you encounter an ally, you may bury any number of cards; for each card buried, add 5 to your check to acquire that ally.

We can either:

1) you fail against the Guide, use the Sage to explore, and fail against the Guard.

or

2) you bury a card to succeed against the Guide and then bury another card to succeed against the Guard.

I would have been hesitant to bury cards for Base allys, so option 1 is likely the way it would have played out.

I did not acquire Guide (Let's bottom-deck it).
I discard Sage to explore.
I did not acquire Guard.
Up to date.

I discard Fox to explore.
