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.
I think I'm with Vika on this. On my turn, I can move over to the Island and help close it as well.

Check
Combat 15
Powers
BYA, recharge a card. Then summon and encounter the ship Devil's Pallor.
If you are the only character at your location, the difficulty of the check to defeat the villain is increased by 1d6.
Given all my combat spells, this could be fortuitous. Are we ready to finish this scenario? My combat will be 1d12+2d6+3 with either Sphere o fire of Dehy. touch.
Well, given that you have the spells and are prepared to fight him, I think we should. I'm not at a location, so it's up to Vika and Jirelle if they think they can defeat a ship to temp close their locations.
I would like to finish this as it's the end of Adventure 2 and we'd move on to Adv 3.
Without help my avg is 16 and he gets 1d6 sonce i'm alone.
I have the Knight's Pennon which will give you +1 (I know, but at least it's something!) and Jirelle has a Blessing if she doesn't use it for her check.
The alternative is that we wait one round and I join you and then you get an additional 1d6 from my power and I might pull a blessing, plus you won't be alone.
Waiting isn't a bad idea. We only have two locations to temp close, and we're doing okay on time.
Koren moves to the Rocky Cliff and waits.

No one can help per scenario rules - it's your ship:
When your ship is dealt Structural damage, only you can discard cards to reduce damage to your ship.
Your ship is going to be wrecked no matter what, so I wouldn't discard any cards and just take the "wreckage". You lose one plunder card but you have five. :)
To fix your ship, at the start of your next turn, you have a Craft 9 (6 + 3 for Haunts) check.
ok lets do that!
ok lets do that!
Plunder card removed - are you exploring again?

No, it is whatever check it was before (i.e. Survival, Perception, etc), but you are rolling a d10 instead of a d4.

Ezren
Assuming Ezren goes for the Villain, we have the following to do:
1) Vika has to summon and defeat a random scenario ship (taking the place of the Riptide Grindylow)
2) Jirelle has to summon and defeat a random scenario ship (taking the place of the Hammerhead Shark)
3) Ezren recharges a card. Then encounters the ship Devil's Pallor. (Note: just an encounter, no need to defeat) (Koren can help with a discard for 1d6+1)
4) Ezren then has a Combat 15 check against Gortus Svard. (Koren can help again with a discard for 1d6+1)

I have negative 3 due to the Haunts, without a blessing I cannot defeat this vessel.
Vika, can we reset and have you use your Blessing on Jirelle's check? You have the Potion of Heroism and the Topaz, so you'd have a 1d10 + 1d6 for a 9?
Then Jirelle can use your blessing for her Survival check to get 2d8 to get a 10?

Both are items. So I only get to use one. Without the blessing, my chances are pretty low. What would Jirelle's chances be? Plus Cayden gives 2 dice to a Strength check, is that the better route?

If we were going to have one character fail a check, it would be Jirelle - we'd probably not even have her try the temp close. With only 2 cards there right now, having the Villain escape there would not be problematic.
I don't think Jirelle can fend off any of the ships on her own - she has -3 due to the Haunts.
This would mean that we stick with your temp close roll above. Jirelle doesn't bother with temp closing her location and the villain will escape to Shark Island?
fine by me
I recharge Acid Arrow.
Dsicard Sling, we get a weapon for plunder.
No.
Top of deck is Acolyte.
I'll examine Shark Island for closing Rocky Cliffs.

Okay, Koren discard Sage's Journal for Ezren's first check and then recharged Magic Leather Armor for the 2nd check.
The top card of Rocky Cliffs is Morningstar +1 - Weapon 2. Except that the villain is shuffled into that deck. (Was worth a chance on banishing the monster that was there!)

Do I head over to Shark Island and hopefully take on the Villain if he's there? Or at least get rid of a card for Jirelle? With Jirelle having +3 due to her Haunts, I think that either I or Ezren are better off taking on the villain. The trouble is that we need Vika to defeat another ship again if we do find the villain.
Any thoughts?
I can discard a weapon for extra dice and all that
But go with your gut!

Here is what has to be done (again):
1) Vika has to summon and defeat a random scenario ship (taking the place of the Riptide Grindylow)
2) Koren recharges a card. Then encounters the ship Devil's Pallor. (Note: just an encounter, no need to defeat)

Upon reviewing others' hands, I find that I'm on my own. Correct?
Weapons and armor here.....
Ezren has a Fox which gives 1d4 to *any* Intelligence or Wisdom check, so that's a bit more help - 38% chance. :)
I also have Magic Weapon for the Combat.
