PACG WotR Into The Worldwound (Inactive)

Game Master jduteau

I'll discard Magic Padded Armor for your Holy Hand Grenade.

Exploring...

I'll do a Charisma check: 1d8 vs 7.

I'll take one BoA. Should I take two, YES GREEDY CROWE IS GREEDY!

So one BoA from Kyra and one from Seelha:

So... Read any good books lately? ;-): 3d8 ⇒ (3, 6, 4) = 13

Discard Researcher to explore again...

Henchman - Monster B

Traits

Combat 8

Powers

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

Temp Close for Kyra
Draw a card and bury a card.

Check to see if I even see the Demonling sneaking up on me...
Wisdom 7: 1d8 ⇒ 8

I use my dual Hand Crossbows to blast this Demonling!

Combat 8: 1d10 + 1 + 1d6 + 1d8 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (2) + (4) = 11

Done!

Draw cure, bury sickle.
Play BoA to help win.

Alrighty. I don't think Seelah's encounter matters to mine. But hidden anyways.

I will discard the Sage's Journal.

I will keep both a Blessing and a d6 card off my deck for the VIllian fight.

Then fighting the Demonling

I will d6 from my deck (Teamster) to the BYA check (Using my Charisma as a special ability

BYA: 1d10 + 1d6 + 0 - 0 ⇒ (8) + (4) + 0 - 0 = 12

~Success~

Demonling: 1d10 + 1d8 + 4 - 0 ⇒ (4) + (3) + 4 - 0 = 11

~Defeated~

(Edit- I see my blessing was already used)

And we are successful! That was by the skin of our teeth. I promise that I didn't rig it, but it couldn't have worked any closer with the Villain showing up as the last card that we could have had. There was a Spiked Pit Trap which, if defeated, would have allowed one more encounter. But the other card was Full Plate which would have been nice to get but would have meant that we wouldn't have found the villain.

Scenario Reward is a random weapon or spell from the box. Here are four random weapons and four random spells. Let us know which you pick and then fix your hand.

I will be picking spell. Do I state that and then look at one and say which it was?

I'll be taking Weapon #3...
A Sickle. (sigh...)

Weapon 4 = Longspear (Which anyone can Have)

I am dropping the Frog for the Racountuer

You're not choosing by the Organized Play selection method, right?

Also, that Scythe is something like Str/Mel + 2d4, discard for additional 1d4, 4's become 5's?

And you had a leftover mace in addition to the one you kept?

Yah I'm an idiot and not following along. I'm on board now.

I'm going to swap out the sickle for that extra Mace if no one has issue with that.

Rallying Cry

Powers
Each character draws from the box a random ally that lists Diplomacy in its check to acquire and attempts to acquire it. If all characters succeed, this barrier is defeated. If any character fails, this barrier is undefeated; banish all the allies, and you may banish this barrier.

Ally - Kyra: Blackwing Librarian
Checks
Intelligence/Knowledge 6
Diplomacy 8

Ally - Imrijka: Belthis Loumis
Checks
Craft 6
Charisma/Diplomacy 9

Ally - Seelah: Recruit
Checks
Charisma/Diplomacy 3

Ally - Crowe: Demon Hunter
Checks
Melee/Ranged 7
Charisma/Diplomacy 6

I can't get my ally (no Craft and Charisma d6) so if we want to banish the barrier, we need to banish all of the allies.

Sometimes it's worth seeing who needs a blessing. An Ally each is nothing to be sneezed at

Mobile Kyra
I have knowledge for mine and could give someone a blessing.

I'd probably need two blessings to get it for sure. I've got one, so I'd need someone else's.

I'll attempt for mine, worth a try for a few extra explores.

I don't have a blessing. Ok If Imrijka cannot get the blessings, no one else expend any as no one will get an ally.

My blessing is available if need be. Between Kyra, and myself, Imrijka should have her two.

Librarian knowledge: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Okay, I failed, so not much else matters.
I'll banish the barrier if that's okay, then Cure myself.
Cure: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

:/

I was under the impression that if any allies were not acquired, all of them had to be banished. I had not considered the interpretation that you may keep any acquired, but if you do you cannot then banish the barrier. Which one is correct?

From the way it reads, it's not a may "banish all allies"

I had always interpreted it that you could keep the allies and not banish the barrier or banish them and banish the barrier.

No, that way you can just use it to keep farming allies. It would actually be better to keep missing one roll
