Next step is for each character to decide where they want to start and then draw their starting hand. Since we're playing out of the box, I will need to track your cards more closely than I do for the Season game where it doesn't really matter.

For this scenario, I don't think it matters what turn order, so when you declare where you're starting, unless it matters to you, roll a 1d100 for initiative.

Starting at Armory.

Hand to follow.

Roll for Initiative!: 1d100 ⇒ 5

There is no real place that appeals to me. I definitely won't start at the Laboratory and I'd like some monsters to kill, so I'll start at the Watchtower and hope that we can find some decent weapons as a group.

Initiative Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 17

There is no real place that appeals to me. I definitely won't start at the Laboratory and I'd like some monsters to kill, so I'll start at the Watchtower and hope that we can find some decent weapons as a group.

Plus, I think your power kicks in if you take advantage of the At This Location power. Happy hunting!

Hand: Potion of Striding, Blood Periapt, Hide Armor, Longspear, Leather Armor

Note: At the Armory, 1 BotG for me, 1 BotG for your emergencies.

I will start off with Crowe at the Armory. Let's fill our hands with metal!

I think waiting on Kyra's opening hand location and Initiative?

Yep. And then we can start pushing back the hordes of Chaos back through the Worldwound.

Oh wherefore art thou, Malcom_Renyolds?

I'm sorry guys! I have a tab open for this campaign and for the other one, and they're both on the discussion page. I have been checking on them and since I hadn't yet been to the "gameplay" part it never showed that there were "new" postings.

Someone had mentioned getting phone #'s for text alerts - should that be sent over PM's since the campaign pages are public?

I'll catch up on the gameplay page for each and get started now.

I made a bookmark of the campaigns tab of my profile

Try that, it shows if anything has new posts

And yes send me your number by PM if you'd like

Start at Forsaken Cloister
Opening hand:
Fireblade, Detect Demon, BoA x2, Book of Loremaster

Watchtower

Demonic Horde
Barrier B

Traits
Skirmish
Demon

Check
NONE

Powers
Each character randomly chooses a character to summand and encounter a Demonling. To defeat this barrier, all of the summoned demons must be defeated.

Demonling
Henchman - Monster B

Traits
Outsider
Demon
Servitor

Check
Combat 8

Powers
Immune to Electricity and Poison traits.
BYA, succeed at a Wisdom or Perception 7 check or the Demonling may not be evaded and the difficulty of checks to defeat the Demonling is increased by 3.
If undefeated, move to a random location.

Yuck!

1=Crowe
2=Imrijka
3=Seelah
4=Kyra

Crowe: 1d4 ⇒ 3 (Seelah)
Imrijka: 1d4 ⇒ 2 (Imrijka)
Seelah: 1d4 ⇒ 3 (Seelah)
Kyra: 1d4 ⇒ 4 (Kyra)

So Seelah faces two Demonlings, Kyra faces one, and Imrijka faces one.

So Seelah faces two Demonlings, Kyra faces one, and Imrijka faces one.

Ill be be over here if you guys need me.

First comes the Wisdom check...

Wisdom 7: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Huh, there's a Demon? Where?

I'll use my Hand Crossbow and recharge my Shortbow...

Combat 11: 1d10 + 1 + 1d6 + 1d8 ⇒ (7) + 1 + (1) + (3) = 12

And the Demonling is defeated...

I have 2 Blessings of Ascensions for Seelah and Kyra to use if needed.

This is what a Crusader lives for

First Wisdom check, Since it's before you act I will sub in my Charisma

Wisdom check: 1d10 + 0 - 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 - 0 = 8

Good news, bad news

I have no weapon but I do have a goodly amount of strength and a Sage's journal

Combat 8: 1d8 + 1d4 + 3 - 0 ⇒ (8) + (4) + 3 - 0 = 15

One Demonling down!

My Wisdom check
using charisma: 1d10 ⇒ 8

And this time I will use a blessing to ensure we defeat this barrier

Combat 8: 2d8 + 1d4 + 3 - 0 ⇒ (5, 8) + (3) + 3 - 0 = 19

For Iomedae!

I'm planning to recharge DD for mine but will have to wait until I'm home to get the stats.

It's d&d night and I can check in on my iPod on my friend's wifi. I have a dumb phone and that's why I can't check in at work.

Demon Detection: 1d12 ⇒ 1
Using a blessing and recharging a spell
Demon Destruction: 2d12 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (7, 12) + 2 + (5) = 26
Demon Horde defeated.

That barrier is vicious, (in terms of using up our resources)

Enter Armies.

Yeah, the "bane spreader" barriers were the biggest problem with these early scenarios. Luckily, there are only two of these. There are also two of the Arboreal Blights and two of the Corrupted Crusaders, but those only depend on the encountering character defeating them to defeat the barrier. In any case, I'll update the game situation with everything we used and then roll to see if I can explore again (since I defeated a monster).

Okay, all resources accounted for. I get to roll a d6 to see if I can explore again...

4+: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Nope. But I will use a Blessing to explore again...

Blackfire Adept
Henchman - Monster

Traits
Human
Conjurer
Cultist

Check
Combat 11
Arcane 8

Powers
BYA, encounter a Demonling. If the demon is not defeated, the Blackfire Adept is undefeated.
If undefeated, discard the top card of the blessings deck; if that card has the Corrupted trait, discard an additional card.
If defeated, you may attempt to close the location.

Okay, so I have two Combat 11 checks (assuming that I don't make the Wisdom check again). My crossbow is 1d10 + 1d6 + 1 which is a 10, so I need help to be sure of making these checks. I've got my Blessing for a d10 and I can recharge my Cure for a 1d4. I think that I need Kyra's other Blessing. That will give me 2d10+1d6+1 for both checks with an additional d4 for the adept.

You okay with that Kyra?

NOTE: if I make the Wisdom check, then the Demonling is only an 8 and I'll recharge the Cure spell against him for 1d10+1d6+1d4+1 and use my Blessing against the Adept for 2d10+1d6+1.

Assuming that Malcolm can't check until later and that he'll be okay with me using his Blessing, since I will get to close the location, I'm going ahead

First the check to notice the Demon...

Wisdom 7: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Nope.

Demon Combat 11: 1d10 + 1 + 1d6 + 1d10 ⇒ (8) + 1 + (6) + (4) = 19

That demon is down...

Adept Combat 11: 1d10 + 1 + 1d6 + 1d10 + 1d4 ⇒ (8) + 1 + (1) + (5) + (1) = 16

And the Adept is down!

I banish my Hand Crossbow to close the Watchtower and draw a Scythe as the weapon I get on closing.

I end my turn and reset my hand.

Yep, using my blessing is okay with me, and my powers allow me to shuffle the blessing I used on my check and this other one back into my deck.

I have a d8 +3 on grabbing this Glaive +1

I'd like to get it for sure! (it's magic and I don't currently have a weapon)

May I use someone's Blessing? (I will discard a card from my deck to add a d6 also )

Go ahead!

Yep, using my blessing is okay with me, and my powers allow me to shuffle the blessing I used on my check and this other one back into my deck.

Ah, so you get those Blessings right back! That's a cool power that WOTR Kyra has! You get a self-heal when using that Demon/Undead power or when you help someone else!

It's very powerful as she can give that healing to anyone at her location also.

Discarding an ascension from top of deck...Using Imrijka's Ascension too !

Glaive +1: 2d8 + 1d6 + 3 - 0 ⇒ (8, 5) + (3) + 3 - 0 = 19

Use my frog friend "Squishy" to explore

Magic Shield : 1d8 + 1 - 0 ⇒ (8) + 1 - 0 = 9

Best. Armory. Ever.

Recharge the Magic Shield, reset.

I'll be out all day reffing hockey and then have a dinner engagement tonight. I'll try and update when I can. Given that Kyra is down to two cards, I didn't want to reveal the next card in case she isn't exploring.

Well, I probably wouldn't be able to close this location, but there's only a 10% chance of finding the henchman and I'd feel bad about not exploring once, so I'll go for it. I'm also going to be out pretty much all day, so let's just say if I do find a henchman I'll just fail and discard my hand because I don't want to have to burn through the whole location (and it's only two cards).
