Hoping for the shipwreck.
Top of deck is magic weapon , which i draw.

Top three cards is Storm - Barrier, Pistol +1 - Weapon, and Becalmed - Barrier.

Assuming we're putting the two barriers on the bottom?

Yes. Exploring...

Would be nice to have but isn't critical: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Discard toad to explore.

Check

Sapphire: 1d12 ⇒ 9

I'm done. Magic Weapon, Dehydrating touch, sphere of fire, force missile, acid arrow, sling

All incredibly useful in a scenario with no monsters!

Check
Wisdom/Survival 9 (8 + 1 for Pirate Shade Haunt)

Powers
If undefeated, display this barrier next to the location deck. You may not move or be moved from this location while this barrier is next to it. When this location has no other cards, banish this card.

I'll use a BotG to try and avoid this weather...

Wisdom 8: 2d10 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

Just barely.

I'll use my BotG to explore again.

Shipwreck Graveyard - Koren

Shipwreck - Henchman/Barrier B
Cache/Aquatic/Veteran

Check
Constitution/Fortitude 8 (5 + 2 for adventure number + 1 for Pirate Shade Haunt)

I'll use the Blessing of Sarenrae just to ensure...

Fortitude 8: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1, 6) + 3 = 14

Made it!

I get to add a plunder card to my hand...

plunder: 1d6 ⇒ 1

A weapon which ends up being a Shortbow. :(

Now I will attempt to close the Graveyard....

Random plunder to try and acquire: 1d6 ⇒ 6

A blessing...

Blessing of Gozreh - Blessing B
Divine/Gozreh

Check
Wisdom/Survival 8 (7 + 1 for Pirate Shade Haunt)
Divine 6 (5 + 1 for Pirate Shade Haunt)

Divine 6: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Acquired and closed!

I'll discard the short bow and reset my hand.

Hand: Cure, Full Plate, Paladin's Helm, Knight's Pennon, Blessing of Gozreh

Deck: 8 Discard: 6 Buried: 0

Okay, just realized that I forgot "On Closing" damage to my ship.

Another mistake - 6 on the Plunder chart isn't a blessing, it is a choose your own. I'll choose Armor:

Random armor from the box was:

Buckler - Armor B
Shield/Basic

Check
Constitution/Fortitude 4 (3 + 1 for Pirate Shade Haunt)

An auto-acquire for me.

So I've replaced the Blessing of Gozreh in my discard pile with this Buckler.

*sigh* I really screwed up this sequence as I also missed the "At This Location" Wisdom 6 check or suffer 1d4 ship damage.

Wisdom 6 (5 + 1 for Pirate Shade Haunt): 1d10 ⇒ 10

And my ship, the Thresher, reduces Structural damage by 1, so I have my Paladin's Helm back.

Hand: Mace, Cure, Eagle Knight Dress Uniform, Paladin's Helm, Knight's Pennon

Deck: 6 Discard: 8 Buried: 0
Note:

I think it's all fixed up now. Sorry about that everyone!

No worries. You want to cure yourself while you have the chance? I think you're the worst off.

I'm up yes?

I'm up yes?

Yes

ok will do that tonight as I have to summon ships etc

Shark time

When you would encounter a non-villain monster, banish it and roll 1d8 on the table below; summon and encounter that ship (listed on the next page) instead.
1. a random ship from the fleet stack
2. Burnt Saffron
3. Cetaceal
4. Hu-Hazhong
5. Impervious
6. Kraken’s Spite
7. Mark of Yunnarius
8. Ravishing Ruby

d8: 1d8 + 0 - 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 - 0 = 3

Dexterity/Acrobatics 8 : 1d10 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 2 - 1 = 11

More plunder!: 1d6 ⇒ 6

what shall we draw?

what shall we draw?

I think whatever you want to get would be best. It doesn't really matter to me.

Assuming you then want to explore....

Shark Island - Jirelle

Shipwreck - Henchman/Barrier B
Cache/Aquatic/Veteran

Check
Constitution/Fortitude 8 (5 + 2 for scenario number + 1 for Pirate Shade Haunt)

Powers
If undefeated, you may banish this barrier.
If defeated, add 1 plunder card from the box to your hand; you may immediately attempt to close the location this henchman came from.

I just checked the rewards and only you can take from your plunder. So it really is whatever you want.

Fort 8: 1d8 + 3 - 0 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 0 = 4

let's reroll

Fort 8: 1d8 + 3 - 0 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 0 = 10

Plunder: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Plunder weapon you get is:

Harpoon - Weapon B
Spear/Ranged/Piercing/2-Handed/Swashbuckling/Elite

Powers
For your combat check, reveal this card to use your Dexterity/Ranged skill + 1d6. Add another 1d8 if the bane has the Aquatic trait. If you fail a check to defeat a non-villain monster, and you are proficient with weapons, you may put the monster on top of the location deck, if it came from one.

lets use the Erastil to explore.... ~wince~

you don't want to try closing Shark Island?

I totally flaked on it being a Henchy!

1. a random ship from the fleet stack
2. Burnt Saffron
3. Cetaceal
4. Hu-Hazhong
5. Impervious
6. Kraken’s Spite

8. Ravishing Ruby

Ship: 1d8 ⇒ 7

I have a blessing, anyone else?

From what I can see, you are the only one.

I have combat spells.

I have combat spells.

Well, that's helpful! Hopefully you meet up with the Villain! :)

That would be nice. Currently they're most likely to be discarded for structural damage.

Survival using Blessing: 2d8 + 3 - 0 ⇒ (5, 3) + 3 - 0 = 11

Missed by 1, I guess no cards needed.

Ill use another of our blessing to explore as my hand is full

I'm fine with that plan since we have lots of time left, but your location is 3 monsters and a weapon - and the monsters become ships. Do you want to keep encountering ships or do you just want to sit and slowly close the location?

Just wondering.

Ships are usually my strong suit. And since I have a full hand of weapons if I fail I can weather the structural damage for us

New blessing is still BotG.

Shark Island - Jirelle

Bull Shark - Monster 2

becomes ship...

1. a random ship from the fleet stack
2. Burnt Saffron
3. Cetaceal
4. Hu-Hazhong
5. Impervious
6. Kraken’s Spite
7. Mark of Yunnarius
8. Ravishing Ruby

Ship: 1d8 + 0 - 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 - 0 = 1

random me...

Shackles Pirate Ship - Class 0

Check
Dexterity/Disable 10 (8 + 2 for Pirate Shade Haunts)
Wisdom/Survival 8 (6 + 2 for Pirate Shade Haunts)

Powers
If your check to defeat has the Swashbuckling trait, add 1 to it.

Swashbuckling it is then!

Survival : 1d8 + 4 - 0 ⇒ (5) + 4 - 0 = 9

moar plunder!

Mateys, want me to grind this location until I either close it or take damage? I don't want to hog the blessings deck TOO much.

Might as well. I'm terrible at ships and have discard fodder.

I wouldn't try to grind it down in one sitting. That's 1:1 Blessing/Explore turns. It might make more sense to allow a redraw in there in hopes of getting blessings/allies.
