Pathfinder ACG #8-00: Cosmic Captive (Table 2) [TIER 1-3] (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkmoon269

Rewards:
2 Card Feats - Spell and Blessing
Upgrades: Ally 2 (Trouabdour -> Bound Lantern Archon)
Upgrade Spell 1 (new Spell slot -> Stone Skin

Then I need to take a Blessing to fill the new card slot. No Basics in my deck, so I get a Blessing of Iomedae (B).

If Rhynn doesn't want the Spell 2 he got, I'll going to take Twisted Space (Spell 2) instead. But its his if he wants it.

The prison consisted of narrow corridors supported by pillars in the shape of obelisks. Due to the very low ceiling , Arabundi would not be able to use his longbow. The walls obscured his sight and behind each of them a creepy crawler could be hinding ready to attack them.

Starting turn:
-Top of Blessing Discard Pile: Blessing of Calistria.
-Exploring Scorched Obelisk Card 1: Zombie Horde.

A nearby shufling sound alerted the team of the looming danger: a horde of zombies came at them. Arabundi reached for his crossbow and shot at the one closest by...

Ranged combat 9: 1d8 + 4 + 1d8 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (2) + 1 + (4) = 17 ...right through its head.

-Revealing Beast Skin to reduce Electricity damage by 2 to 1.
-Discarding Blessing of the Gods as 1 Electricity damage.

"Ouch!" :S

Raheli upgrades after completion of last scenario.

Tier upgrade is card feat - Item, I'll fill that will an Item 1 (Sapphire of Intelligence) from the loot.

Scenario reward is a card feat - Spell, I'll also fill that with a Spell 1 (Stone Skin) from the loot.

I think that leaves a Spell 2 for Alase to upgrade to.

Notes:

Ok. A little confusoin there. Arabundi explored past the Horde (assuming you'd all defeat it) and acquired the Half Plate. Alase defeated the Yeth Hound. I'm going to rule that Alase played Haste after the Yeth Hound, encountered the Dagger and apply the 1d6->1 result to the attempt to acquire that. Which fails. Alase examines the next top card, which is Standard Bearer. We'll leave it there. Raheli's turn.

M:1 Ba:1 W:0 Sp:0 Ar:0 I:0 Al:1 Bl:0 ?:0
Located here: Alase, Arabundi, Flenta, Raheli

Start of turn.
Top of blessing discard is Blessing of the Gods.

Raheli ponders the situation and decides to take a look at the future, specifically looking for barriers. With a whispered Arcane phrase she casts her mind's eye forward and sees a Standard Bearer, Mystic Inscription, and an angry looking Enchanter.

Place the Mystic Inscription on top, shuffle the rest.

Augury Recharge - Arcane 8: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Augury goes to discard.

After completing her casting, Raheli strides forward to a wall nearby and encounters a Mystic Inscription on one of the nearby walls.

Discarding BotG to try and get this.

Mystic Inscription - CtD Arcane 10: 1d8 + 3 + 1d8 ⇒ (5) + 3 + (6) = 14

Raheli quickly mutters a counter to the Mystic Inscription and the lock dispels. She finds a room that contains a couple of scrolls behind the inscription.

Spells to hand: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Clearly there is some sort of additional protection on the scrolls because as soon as she picks them up an arc of lightning strikes her.
Electrical Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Unless one of those spells gives some damage reduction to Electricity, they both go to discard, I'm going to assume that's the case since I can't think of any that would in this box.

Drawing to end. Over to Flenta.

★ - OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT - ★

With the help of dozens of other Pathfinders, all working together, the last of the circles and their strange guardians fall!

Sorrina Westyr's image manifests to the Pathfinders, standing before a floating metallic polyhedron scribed with countless shifting glyphs. “We have done it! Now how to open this—”

A great crack interrupts the Master of Spell's musings, as an immense three-eyed giant with skin like hewn stone steps through a tear in space, with an army pouring out past her. The giant bellows so that all can hear. “I acknowledge your strength, little ones, for you have angered my benefactor enough to send me. I and my warriors, the Daemon Prayers, honor it with unyielding death. Seize the Vault! Slay them all!”

Sorrina Westyr urgently pipes in. “We just need a few more minutes to secure our prize and escape. Hold them off as long as you can!”

Drandle Dreng’s shaggy head appears once again in the divination window. “You heard her, Pathfinders!” He says, fist raised. “Go get ‘em!”

Table GMs, begin the final encounters.

Out of turn
Flenta isn't shy to do her part, and grabs her glaive to combat a zombie of her own.

Reveal Shock Glaive +1. I don't want to fail, since that would mean we have to deal with it again (and disrupt continuity). However, I can reroll by recharging.

AYA fire damage: Discard Spiked Chain +1

While fighting the zombie, Flenta tries to real to hold her punches. However, it won't do much good. There's lightning everwhere and her armor is ruined at the end of it. She shrugs her shoulders. "I guess I'm not good at keeping it small, don't it?" When she sees an evil enchanter around the corner, she doesn't hesitate but runs in at full speed. The ensuing battle is epic, with all kinds of spell effects flying around. When the dust settles, Flenta is left standing, though she's covered in soot and short on breath. "That was awesome!"

Flenta is pretty proud of Arabundi for having dealt with the obelisk, but it seems like another is already in sight. And those ligtning strikes don't seem to let up. The strain of their adventures on the asteroid is starting to get to Flenta, and she's beginning to look a bit tired. All in all, she's less eager for a fight. However, she spots a decent armor on the zombie that seems to have survived in decent shape. She pokes around a bit, but the zombie corpse is just too gross and she doesn't have the stamina to peel the armor off the corpse. "Never mind..."

Flenta's spells updated. Not sure how I forgot and put Haste in there. But they are all B/C now.

You could just say it was a sneaky way to get the spells for the Mystic Inscription up there, without drawing attention. ;)

Flenta is grateful for Arabundi's healing berries and quickly tosses it in her mouth. "Hmm, they taste really good. But they're so small. Couldn't you invest the magic into some bigger fruit, or maybe in a handful of berries? You know, so that you can get that taste for longer?"
Cure: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

When Raheli makes her attempt through the trapped passageway in order to deal with the obelisk and the cultist guarding it, Flenta roots for her companion. "Go on, you can do it. Clear your head and just stick with it!"

Start of turn
Blessing of Gorum.

With Arabundi's healing, Flenta feels ready to explore some more. She was going to take it slow, but after seeing both Arabundi and Raheli deal with an obelisk, she doesn't want to be left behind.

Explore card 1: Zombie
Flenta spots a good target to get back into a game: a lone zombie. Mindful of the lightning all around, Flenta takes it easy. She draws her glaive and takes a whack at the zombie.

Reveal Shock glaive +1
Melee, 9 needed: 1d10 + 4 + 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (4) + 1 = 11
Her cautious approach pays off, and Flenta deals with the zombie without drawing lightning to her. "See? I can be subtle..."

Recharge Blessing of Gorum to explore card 2: warhammer
Flenta tracks the zombie back to its (former) lair, ready to claim a prize for her valiant combat with the undead. There, she finds a warhammer

Melee, 6 needed: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
She picks up the weapon, and swings it around a few times to test its weight. "It's no sword, but I supposed if we run into skeletons or something it could be useful. She throws the weapon in her backpack, probably never to be seen again.

* Flenta receives Snake from Arabundi.

To add some bite to her fight, Arabundi gave the snake to Flenta. "Don't worry, I've told it not to mess with powerful magicians, so you should be fine."

-Exploring Scorched Obelisk Card 3: Guide.

* Asking Alase to recharge Blessing of the Gods to add 1d8:

Wisdom 7: 1d8 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (8) = 13

At that moment, a guide sent in to get everyone out of the labyrinthine prison came around the corner and pointed them in the direction of the exit.

-Recharging Dagger to add 1d4:
Ranged 11: 1d8 + 4 + 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (2) + (4) = 11

In a hurry to get out, the guide didn't notice a nest of rats and was bitten by a diseased one. With a throw of his dagger, Arabundi finished the foul beast. "We better get you to a medic."

-Ending turn drawing 3 cards to reset hand: Returning Throwing Axe +1, Conch Shell and Leather Armor.

★ - OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT - ★

Pathfinders push back the extraplanar mercenaries, which flee the Society's ferocious counterattack. The few remaining elementals fight to the last but quickly crumble under the assault. With the path back to the surface clear, Sorrina Westyr leads the way up to the portals, while Drandle Dreng organizes a quick head count, and begins ushering groups of agents back to Golarion.

Sorrina Westyr is among the last to step back onto the Isle of Kortos, carrying a beautiful, fist-sized opal that seems to glow with countless colors. Overhead, the once-radiant Aucturn's Tear gradually fades in brightness until it's imperceptible against the night sky.

The Master of Spells holds the immense gem aloft and speaks to the gathered agents. “We have accomplished a marvel today. I hold here an artifact in which dwells a powerful air spirit called Ranginori. Many ages ago, the Elemental Planes existed in balance, forces of good and evil locked in equilibrium. The elemental lords we know of today united against their benign counterparts, and claimed sole dominion. Scholars have speculated on the fates of the defeated, but no longer!”

A few scattered cheers well up from some of the more elementally inclined Pathfinders. Sorrina smiles at them indulgently, and continues.

“It will take time to confirm the outsider trapped within this opal is who he claims to be.” She starts for a moment, as if in response to a comment only she can hear, then looks up to the gemstone apologetically and adds, “Professional caution and courtesy, you understand.” She then looks back to the Pathfinders and continues. “If that's true, though, we now hold the essence of the lost lord of air, Ranginori, Duke of Thunder!”

At this, a wind whips around Sorrina, and she laughs.

“If we can free this being, imagine the history he can share with the Society, the good that might be accomplished. I cannot even begin to speculate on the ramifications for the Elemental Planes…and as word of our accomplishment spreads, there will be many thinking these same thoughts, and not with charitable intent toward us. We must be very cautious in the coming months I fear, and not least in verifying the truth of what we hold.”

“Fortunately, thanks to your efforts this evening, we have crippled key allies and armies of the elemental lords who opposed us. It speaks volumes of what the Society has accomplished in the past decade that I can sincerely state you defied demigods and emerged triumphant! It has been my privilege to have been part of that effort.”

Then the Drandle Dreng totters forward, weaving and swaying as if still trying to adjust back to Golarian’s gravity. “We traveled to the stars, and showed those sanctimonious sycophants just what the Society can do!” Then he scratches his shaggy chin, muttering to himself. “Heh. Pathfinders in the Stars. Starry Pathfinders? Starfinders? Starfinder Society! Heh. That’s catchy... I’ll have to remember that.”

A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ALL WHO MADE COSMIC CAPTIVE “SPECIAL!”

We at last have come to the end of our Cosmic Journey. I’d like to thank our GMs, Players and especially our glorious backup GMs who tirelessly kept tables running. It was glorious to know that this same story played in three different forums (Paizo, Myth-Weavers and RPGgeek) and in three different campaigns (Classic, Core and Adventure Card Game.)

You were all beyond awesome. Hope to see you again in the upcoming Play-by-Post Gameday VI!

Your Affectionate Overseer,
Hmm

Great job everyone! Thanks for participating in this experiment.

Thanks for all the fun guys! It has been a fantastic experience and would definitely love to do it again.

Thanks, everyone. It was really fun to figure this out as we went along. I think there's a lot to be learned from this experiment. We had a really smooth game, almost right from the start. And Andrew's way of setting things up meant we could play at our right pace. Still, the connection between the RPG parts was somewhat awkward: the pacing is just too different. Also, we have to realize that ACG normally doesn't need a 'GM', only an organizer who also gets to play. This is different in the PbP environment.

I will be doing a ret-con for my scenario reward later tonight. I'll list all the blessings still in my class deck (B,1,2), and roll a random one to use as a bonus deck upgrade.

This sure has been fun; I hope more PACG PbP scenario's will follow :)

First Scenario:
Deck upgrades - Spell 1, Ally 1
Skill Feat - Charisma +1

Second Scenario:
Deck upgrade - Item 1
Power feat - "([x] you may) shuffle that deck"

Third Scenario:
Deck upgrade - Spell 2

Fourth Scenario:
Deck upgrade - Ally 2, Spell 1
Card feats: Spell and Blessing

I could advance Alase to Tier 2 now, correct? Any advantage in advancing, or staying at Tier 1? If I wanted to play through a whole adventure path with her, would being at tier 2 make that impossible?

As discussed previously, I'll do a retcon of the card I could have used as a bonus upgrade after the last scenario. I have eight Blessings in deck with B, 1 or 2, so I'll roll a d8.

Random blessing: 1d8 ⇒ 8 Pharasma 2. I'll take it.

That gives me the following list of upgrades and rewards.

Scenario A
Regular upgrade - Blessing of Gorum (Blessing B).
Scenario reward - Bonus deck upgrade: Lucerne Hammer (Weapon 1).
Tier 1.5 - nothing.

Scenario B
Regular upgrade - Hide armor of fire resistance (Armor 2).
Scenario reward - Saved card (Hat of Glamour).
1.6 - Advance to Tier 2.

Scenario C
Regular upgrade - none.
Scenario reward - Taken by Arabundi. Received Hat of Glamour (Item 2) as extra upgrade from scenario B.
Tier 2.1 - Skill feat: Strength +2

Scenario D
Regular upgrade - none.
Scenario reward - Bonus deck upgrade: Blessing of Pharasma (Blessing 2)
Tier 2.2 - Power feat: Hand size 6.
Adventure reward - Card feat: Item. Take Crowbar (Item B) to fill out my deck.

First Scenario:

Deck upgrades - Spell 1, Ally 1
Skill Feat - Charisma +1

Second Scenario:
Deck upgrade - Item 1
Power feat - "([x] you may) shuffle that deck"

Third Scenario:
Deck upgrade - Spell 2

Fourth Scenario:
Deck upgrade - Ally 2, Spell 1
Card feats: Spell and Blessing

I could advance Alase to Tier 2 now, correct? Any advantage in advancing, or staying at Tier 1? If I wanted to play through a whole adventure path with her, would being at tier 2 make that impossible?

You don't have to tier up right now, correct, BUT if you choose not to, you can only play two more scenarios (other than replaying) in your current tier before you're forced to tier up. This keeps you from playing two full adventures at a single tier just to get a ton of rewards.

Here's what I think I've pieced together.

Scenario A
Deck Upgrades - Item B / Spell B
Tier 1.1 - Skill Feat: Intelligence +1

Scenario B
Deck Upgrade - Item B
Tier 1.2 - Power Feat: ([x]or your check to acquire an item or spell)

Scenario C - failed attempt
Tier 1.3 - Deck Upgrade: Blessing B

Scenario C - success
Tier 1.3 - Deck Upgrade: Spell 2 set aside after Scenario B

Scenario D
Deck Upgrades - Item 1 / Spell 1
Tier 1.4 - Card Feat: Item 1 / Spell 1

I think I'll go ahead and advance Raheli to Tier 2. Always plenty of other characters to try so no use sticking on this tier for me.
