I can't get the Pistol at the Caves so I'm going to head to the Holy Isle to maybe close it and get all of my cards back from my Discard pile.

First I have the Fortitude check...

Fortitude 6: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

I'll bury my Full Plate and then move to the Holy Isle.

Holy Isle - Koren

Swabbing the Decks - Barrier 1
Task/Aquatic/Elite

Check
Constitution/Fortitude 7

Powers
You may recharge any number of allies; for each ally recharged, add 1d4 to your check to defeat this barrier.
If defeated, you may recharge 1 card.
If undefeated, each character recharges 1 card. Leave this barrier faceup on the location deck. Characters at this location encounter this barrier as their first exploration each turn.

I'll use my Blessing to help out...

Fortitude 7: 1d6 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (1) = 8

Yes. I'll recharge my Sagacity.

Okay, here's for ridding the world of this strange goblin...I'll use my mace and the sage's Journal.

Combat 11: 1d8 + 3 + 1d8 + 1d4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + (5) + (4) = 20

Quite dead.

To close the location, I'll cast Sagacity to get +3 to my Wisdom and try pure Wisdom...

Wisdom 7: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Just made it.

The Holy Isle is closed and I get all of the cards in my discard pile back. Thanks Ezren for doing the heavy lifting. :)

How many cards did you get back?

I got four back, two Blessings, my Detect Demon spell, and my Holy Water Grenade.

Vika

I'll start by discarding my Chain Mail to recharge a random Discarded card:

Beach - Vika

Conch Shell - Item B
Object/Aquatic/Basic

Check
Wisdom/Perception 5

Powers
Reveal this card to add 1d6 to your Perception check.
Discard this card to examine the top card of another location deck. After playing this card, succeed at a Perception 7 check to recharge it instead of discarding it.

1d8 ⇒ 4
Discard Blessing to Explore.

Beach - Vika

Brinebrood Queen - Villain (Monster)
Aberration/Goblin/Aquatic/Mutant

Check
Combat 13

Powers
May not be evaded.
BYA, summon and encounter the villain The Whale. If you defeat the Whale, the Brinebrood Queen deals 1 Acid damage to each character at your location.
If the check to defeat has the Ranged or Attack trait, the difficulty is increased by 2.

The Whale - Villain (Monster)
Aberration/Goblin/Aquatic/Mutant

Check
Combat 11

Powers
The Whale may not be evaded.
If undefeated, succeed at a Constitution or Fortitude 6 check or discard the top 1d4 cards of the blessings deck.

Note: For Temporary closing, only Jirelle is at a location that isn't closed - Succeed at a Wisdom/Survival 7 check.

Temp Close: 1d8 + 3 - 0 ⇒ (4) + 3 - 0 = 7

[dice=Temp Close]1d8 + 3 + -0

Alright, it's all up to Vika and her bludgeoning ways! Defeat those two Goblin Aberrations!

Greatsword v Whale: 1d10 + 1 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 + (1, 5) = 15
Discard Lucerne Hammer for Acid Damage
Recharged Greatclub v Queen: 1d10 + 1 + 2 + 1d10 + 1 + 1d10 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 + (7) + 1 + (10) = 28
Of COURSE there are no items in my rather large discard pile.
I draw up (I had kept the Greatsword) and end my turn:

Hand: Greatsword, Staff of Minor-Healing, Crowbar, Master-At-Arms, Quartermaster

After Turn 10's blessing is revealed, I Recharge my Staff to recharge a card:

Hand: Greatsword, Crowbar, Master-At-Arms, Quartermaster

Deck: 7 Discard: 6 Buried: 0
Note: Beach

[dice=Greatclub v Whale]1d10+1+2+2d6

I think you mean Greatsword (since GreatClub is 1d10+1 and GreatSword is 2d6)?

Saw this mistake in my last edit. I'm over here trying to figure out how to use a hand of three weapons to defeat two villains and a point of damage, and retain a weapon. ;-)

If undefeated, display this barrier next to your location deck. You may not move or be moved to or from this location while this barrier is next to it. At the start of each character's turn, that character must succeed at a Strength, Constitution, or Craft 7 check to banish this card or your ship is dealt 1d4-1 Structural damage.

It doesn't matter, since your base survival roll was a 10, but I think the 2d6 should have been a 1d8 (for the Tricorne) and a 1d4 (for the recharged ally)?

I'll head over to the Sea Caves as well...

Auto-Acquire

I'll use it to explore again

Pistol +1 - Weapon B
Firearm/Ranged/Piercing/Swashbuckling/Magic/Elite

Both wrong!

should have been 2d8 + 1d6 + 3

Ah, you were recharging him for his normal power and not for the Barrier's power! I didn't even look see what the Standard Bearer could do. :)

Scenario Rules:
When you encounter a non-villain, non-henchman monster, roll 1d6:
1–2. During the encounter, the difficulty of any checks by characters at your location is increased by 1d4.
3–4. Before you act, each character at your location is dealt 1d4-1 Combat damage.
5–6. During the encounter, characters at other locations may not play cards or use powers.
How bad can it get?: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Ah, whoops?

Merc's a Jerk: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Greatsword + Master-At-Arms v Merc (12): 1d10 + 1 + 2 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 + (6, 3) + (6) = 25

I think you kids have seen enough for one turn. I'll stop there?
I can discard my Quartermaster to Explore and maybe find those Villains which I might need a smidge of help on (Crowbar for the Acid Damage though).

My damage from the Mercenary: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

I recharge my Eagle Knight Dress Uniform for the damage.

I say go ahead and explore, we want to get through this as quick as possible due to the location bury power.

damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Phew!
I'd say go for it.
