[Gameday VII][ACG] Assault on Absalom by redeux (Inactive)

Game Master redeux

Reinforcements have arrived from another sector of the city!

Kikko Armor displayed

The site of the undead ships rising from the depths as the fleet approaches Absolom is slightly unsettling. Seelah says a quick prayer to Iomedae before hopping on the nearest Hippocampus and heading out. As she leaves the shore she is immediately enveloped in thick fog.

Examine Fog Bank card #1: Toxic Geyser (Seelah's power)
Move to Shipwreck Graveyard

Seelah narrowly avoids a geyser of hissing green ooze before emerging from the fog into a sea of scattered shipwrecks.

Explore card #1: Bonecrusher Wizard
Bury Kikko Armor for BYA cold damage
Discard BoGorum for 2 dice
Combat 9: 3d10 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 1) + 3 = 9 defeated
Discard Heavy Iron Shield for AYA poison damage

A Bonecrusher Wizard emerges beside her from the wreckage and blasts Seelah with a frigid spell. She removes her heavy armor and lets it fall into the sea for fear the cold would seep through her gambeson and freeze her to the core. She instinctively swings an iron-clad fist at the wizard's face and connects with a crunch. The form of the wizard begins deflating and emits a sickening cloud of poison as it sinks to the depths. Seelah holds her shield over her face to block the noxious fumes and flees the scene.

Having put Tank down for a nice well deserved rest, Raheli and Rocky meet up to take down some undead ships. Tempest Cay seems to have some sort of aura that's causing extra damage to be inflicted on our forces, so they decide to focus their effort with Alase and Tonbarse to take it down.

Start of turn, passing BotG to Alase.

Arriving at the Cay, Tonbarse mentions that there is some armor ahead. Raheli follows him and looks it over.

Tussah Silk Coat-CtA: Con 4: 1d6 ⇒ 2 Recharing Cleric of Nethys to add 2, Acquired.

Recognizing wisdom spouted by a Cleric of Nethys, forewarned is forearmed, Raheli sees the shape of this battle to come and recognizes it's better to take the extra weight and protect herself as best she can.

Discarding Fox to explore.

In the near distance Raheli sees a halfling barbarian rampaging against the undead and recognizes Mad Dog Marrn from their description in town.

She approaches and tries to calm him down enough to aid her. Knowing this isn't her strength, she calls Tonbarse to her side as she's heard Mad Marrn is a friend of animals...maybe between Rocky and Tonbarse she can get through.

Asking for Alase's Blessing of Iomedae and recharging Gem of Mental Acuity to use Int die instead.

Mad Dog Marrn-CtA: Charisma 9: 3d8 ⇒ (6, 1, 2) = 9 Acquired!

It's a near thing, but with Tonbarse and Rocky's help, Raheli talks the blood rage out of Marrn's eyes enough to have him help direct her forward.

Following Marrn's directions he leads her to a locked chest that he found earlier that he was hesitant to smash open for fear of destroying what was inside. Looking it over Raheli notices an Arcane lock that needs to be dispelled or it will destroy the contents inside, which from looking in the key hole appears to be some sort of scroll.

Recharging Byzantine Lexicon (2) to add 1d4+2 to CtA a spell.

Lightning Bolt-CtA: Arcane 8: 1d8 + 4 + 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + (3) + 2 = 16 Acquired

With Rocky's help, Raheli dispels the protection and retrieves the spell inside. She takes a moment to read it and commit the spell to memory.
