PACG WotR Into The Worldwound (Inactive)

Game Master jduteau

I'll attempt to defeat the GMS with my longsword.
I'll discard my Frigid Blast for the BYA damage.
Give me my long sword, ho!: 1d12 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (12) + 1 + (7) = 20
I'll discard my BoA to explore...

Dark Forest - Crowe

Card #1 - Mongrel Ranger

Check
Combat 6 (random monster was GMS)

Card #2 - Tangle Trap

Check
Strength/Dexterity/Stealth 7

Powers
Reveal a weapon that has the Slashing trait to add 1d4 to your checks against this barrier.

Hmm. A choice of choices. I'm still getting used to a World where Vinst matters so I guess I'll go after the Ranger for now and maybe try to get Vinst next turn...(No one has him right?)

Mighty Mongrel Ranger's Power: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
I'll bury my Leather Armor to soak that up.
Longsword v 6: 1d12 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (8) = 10

I'm going to go for Vinst.

First I'll cast Sagacity.
Then discard a BoA for BYA.
Then cast Fire Blade to fight.
Burnin' down the tree: 1d12 + 5 + 2d4 + 1d8 ⇒ (5) + 5 + (3, 2) + (6) = 21

Discards are Abraxas and BoA.

My hand seemed primed to take it on and heal aferwards, so I went for it.

No chance on gaining that booklet, I will discard a blessing to explore once again

BYA, succeed at an Arcane or Divine 9 check or you may not play spells that have the Attack trait.

Wooden Shield

Check
Constitution/Fortitude 4

I'm going to take on a Monster to try and acquire the Shield (and then possibly explore again).

Worm Demon
Check
Combat 10

I'll banish the Holy Water Grenade to defeat him.

4,5,6 to explore again: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Nope.

I'll discard the Blessing to explore...

Watchtower - Imrijka

Bat

Check
Wisdom/Survival 6

Let's try to attract this bat...

Wisdom 6: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Yes, he is mine!

I will discard him to explore my location. I get 1d4 to my first Ranged or Survival check.

Watchtower - Imrijka

Giant Maggot Swarm

Check
Combat 6

Powers
BYA, deal 1 Acid damage to you.
If you do not defeat the GMS by at least 4, shuffle it into the deck it came from; the GMS still counts as defeated.

Although I need a weapon to close the Watchtower, I don't want to risk losing, so I'm going to use the Javelin, even though it is a Bury to use.

Combat 6/10: 1d10 + 1 + 2d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (6, 6) + (2) = 16

And that Worm Demon is sent back to the nether realms!

I'll reset, hopefully getting a weapon and I can close the Watchtower next turn.

That's just lazy, man

I'm going after the Tangle Trap in hopes of using Vinst.
Reveal Longsword. I'm pretty beat-up so no bury ability for this one..
Tanglin': 1d12 + 1d4 ⇒ (10) + (1) = 11
Vinst! Do your thang.

Tangle Trap defeated, Vinst returned to the box, Dark Forrest closed.

Soooo. At the end of the turn I recharge my hand. Does that come during or after the End Your Turn step? That is, do I recharge the draw back up, or do I draw up then recharge my hand (resulting in an empty hand)?

End Your Turn (page 9 of the WOTR rulebook):

First, apply any effects that happen at the end of the turn.
Then, reset your hand.
When you're done, the turn passes to the player on your left.

So you recharge what is in your hand currently, and then draw back up.

We have a Villain, a Vescavor Swarm, and two Tangle Traps left.

Does Kyra go for Vinst again? Or, since we can cover all the locations now, do we not worry about closing Tangle Trap locations?

I'll be happy to go to the Watchtower to close it. I could use an upgrade.

I was assuming we'd close the Watchtower pretty quickly.

It works out anyways. If Seelah encounters the Tangle Trap in her next two cards, then we have Vinst again.

Immune to the Poison trait. If the check to defeat has the Attack trait, add 1d8.
If you play a weapon during this encounter, banish it.
If defeated by at least 4, you may immediately attempt to close the location this henchman came from.

More Abominations!

I will discard (banish) my longsword and add in My Study of the Sage's Journal.

Swarm Hunting: 2d8 + 1d6 + 1d4 + 3 - 0 ⇒ (6, 7) + (5) + (3) + 3 - 0 = 24

I cannot close the location. I forgot to hang on to a blessing :/

Is it worth using Vinst? There's only a barrier left.

I don't think we need to use Vinst here.

I can go close the River as I have a Blessing on hand. Then Crowe can close the Watchtower as he has a weapon. I will be down to no cards in my deck, so will desperately need healing.

Alternatively, I can stay and close the Watchtower (doesn't use up my remaining two cards) and Crowe can go close the River since he has more cards in his deck.

Crowe - which do you want to close?

I have no cards that have the Divine trait, so the River's not possible for me.

Ah, that makes the decision then! I thought you had a blessing left.

I'll head to the River then.

I head to the River, discard my BoA to close the location and then discard my Mysterious Disk for the Poison damage I take on closing.

Imrijka could die if we find the wrong bane, like an Arboreal Blight (though I know she's got two armors). Do we want to keep going?

As long as I don't hang out with any of you, I should be fine. I'm hoping to wait until you get your Cure spell and then I'll be back in business. :)

Remember Kyra has some healing powers if you are co located too
