Power Feats: (or for its power) and (or turn)
Deck Upgrade: I'll just take the Weapon 2, and then everybody gets their first choice. (Rapier -> Disrupting Rapier +1)
Looks like there's at least one Spell 2 available, so swapping Force Missile for Ghost Whip.
Swap clinging venom for Marionette.
I suggest we leave Raker Shoals for last. That way, if the chase the villian there, we don't have to take a boatload of structural damage to close the location. Also, we could start somewhere else and all then immediately move and pile on the shipwreck graveyard to also prevent the structural damage, as the damage doesn't come from our topdeck this game, it seems.

Just want to make sure that there is no misunderstanding- Structural damage works the same in this scenario as it did in the previous; ie for every 1 Structural damage, someone must discard the top card of their deck.
I think we’re good to go, whenever VampByDay’s ready!
Remember, there’s a 1/12 chance of dragons at Pinnacle Atoll!
I rolled for Mavaro’s turn at the top of the new update, and you’re safe- no Hirgenzost.
Another reminder to please let me know if anyone wants Reinforcements. (Ie the cure VampByDay is looking for for Varril?) They do get passed off to other tables reasonably often, and if there’s interest or need I can give our table a higher priority.
Everyone, let me know what boon type you’d like!
Maelwys, feel free to begin Aric’s turn in the meantime.
I choose spell
I'll choose Ally, and try to post my turn shortly.
Looks like you posted my Ally right as I was finishing up my turn, so I'll add it to my hand for next turn.
It's been over 24 hours. To keep things moving, I've botted Amaryllis.
Void_Eagle, when you return, note that you still have a non-Basic boon of your choice from the Broken Horns condition.
Mavaro's turn.
I apologize for missing yesterday. Was sick, and had a bunch of work stuff that needed done, so that's where my energy went.
I'll take an ally for my non-basic boon.
Oh no! Hope you are feeling better.
I am, thank you.
Quick reminder that the villain has "Damage dealt by Admiral Arminus Pythareus may not be reduced."
(VampByDay, you can undo Court Knight if you'd like.)
This was the success that pushed us over the top. Well done!
Choose your upgrades, roll your d20, select a feat if applicable. (The reward is worded a little confusingly, but basically, you get to select any card of an appropriate tier from your class or addon deck, and use it as an additional upgrade.)
I'll have the next scenario up very soon!
Yay!
Hm I guess I'll take Unconventional Firepower? I don't have Gunslinger yet, but, maybe some day?
When ready, choose your starting location and draw your opening hand.
Let me know if any changes to turn order, otherwise we'll be starting with Aric.
Bit confused about the reward. Do we add one card of tier 2 or lower from our class deck to our opening hand, or just to our decks, or what?
I don't need any of the upgrades offered.
Deck upgrade, I might as well roll for the Blessing 2, but if somebody else wants it more (or just rolls better) I'll pass on any upgrades.
Adventure reward, I'll add Shy Ratani into my deck (replacing Alaeron).
Bit confused about the reward. Do we add one card of tier 2 or lower from our class deck to our opening hand, or just to our decks, or what?
Yeah, it's confusing. (I had a lot of questions when I got it as a player.) But it's an additional upgrade. And in Varril's case, a tier *3* upgrade!
No boon for me. On the upgrades...I would like a Spell 1, if I may.
And the bonus one...I can choose any Deck 2 card at all - any of them?
Yep!
-> No boon for me
I'd also like the Blessing 2:
-> Blessing is all yours, Arik.
In that case, I'll take a Spell 1 (Black Spot -> Sphere of Fire), and for my pull from my box I'll take the Blessing 2 (BotGods -> BoPharasma).
I think just waiting on upgrade for Mavaro, and starting locations for Mavaro and Aric?
Since Aric goes first anyway and could move wherever, I've just placed him at the Earthworks to get things started.
I'm opting not to implement the optional Open Gates condition, since you're close to placating the Implacable Beast villain.
(If anyone feels strongly otherwise, let me know.)

I am in a pretty good position to take down the villain. My weapon (The Missing Eye) will give me 1d8+2+1d8+1+2d6 with a recharge. With one blessing, I have an 80% success rate - so that's just with what I have. I can also probably make my own DEX check.
But in do doing, Amaryllis and Aric will also have to make this DEX check. I think we'd all be OK with me doing this...want to confirm? But I'm not sure we have a lot of other choices, other than burning a bunch of turns - and some of the other locations look like they have some severe penalties...meaning either that we'll need more turns, or that we'll need for Amaryllis and Aric not to take that damage so that they have the resources to counter the penalties...
I'm leaning towards "take down the villain"...if anyone else feels that other options are better, please chime in. I'll wait for about a half hour - but then I'll need to take my turn (or at least start it, and then Amaryllis and Aric will need to make their DEX checks) and then head off to bed.
If we want to make this 80% chance of defeating higher, let me know...the Binder's Tome - that will add 1d4? That would bump it up to 91%...
With the new locations, be aware of the following new rules:
If the location Scorched Ruins exists and is open, the difficulty of checks to defeat monsters is increased by 3.
At the end of your turn, if the location Ghol-Gan Ruins exists and is open, shuffle a monster from the box into it; if the location Tower exists and is open, succeed at a Dexterity or Acrobatics check with a difficulty of 7 or you are dealt 1d4-1 Ranged Combat damage.
So Mavaro needs to make a DEX/Acrobatics 7 check at the end of his turn, because the Tower exists and is open. (Calthaer, feel free to adjust your post-villain actions if you would like.)
Also, note that at the end of each turn, a monster will get shuffled into Ghol-Gan Ruins ruins, so long as it is open. So if I haven't made an update post, be sure to account for that before exploring there.
(The latest update includes the monster shuffled in at the end of Mavaro's turn.)
The end-of-turn Tower check becomes annoyingly unforgettable very quickly.
In the meantime, Aric can go if Maelwys wants. (The latest update post already includes the new monster in Ghol-Gan Ruins.)
Void Eagle: I think you should have added a d6 to your check against Tekenu as pyrotechnic blast has the divine trait (Varril uses it)
A few notes. Sorry for how complex this scenario is, but it is the grand climax of the adventure!
Calthaer:
The Tower check happens *before* resetting hand. So the Gem of Prowess would have already been in your deck. You don't need to reroll the check, but you can adjust your hand as Gem of Prowess would have been drawn.
VampByDay:
Varril still needs to attempt the missed Tower check from the end of your last turn.
Void_Eagle:
If you'd like, you may reroll the 1d6 for the Divine trait for the chance to avoid burying Anathemic Volume.
Maelwys:
I don't actually have anything to say, but didn't want you to feel left out :)
Thanks, I'll try it (just don't roll a one...)
-> Success, unburying Anathemic Volume. That means I wouldn't have drawn the second BoPharasma. I think those are the only changes.
Because anything that happens "at the end of your turn" always happens before resetting your hand. You process the end of turn actions, then resetting your hand is always the very last action that you do to end your turn.
How exactly do we know that it's before resetting your hand? The turn order for the game says to reset hand and then end your turn, and the effect for this scenario says "At the end of your turn."
It is consistent with how the computer version of the card game works. Dunno if that is official
1)flip blessing deck2)start of turn effects
3)trade card phase
4)move phase
5)explore phase
6)end of turn effects
7)reset hand
8)actual end of turn.
Just so everyone know, I'm travelling the next two weeks. I'll try to check in at least once a day, but go ahead and bot me if you need to.
Thanks for letting us know, Void_Eagle! Let me know if you have any particular botting instructions. (I'm playing an Amaryllis myself in my Season of the Righteous game, so I definitely don't mind stepping in.)
Now that we're all caught up, it's Varril's turn again.
If Aric did want to try the closing check, don't forget that you have a potential emergency +1d8 with Reinforcements.
True, forgot about that. Right now I'm rolling 1d6 to get a 12. If I use one of Varril's blessings that's 2d6 (+1d8 Reinforcements). So with the reinforcements it might be possible, but without it basically impossible. And I didn't see anymore blessings out there right now, did I miss any?
Just a headsup that the event is scheduled to end November 13.
Friendly BR reminder for Amaryllis:
On your check to defeat a bane that has the Construct or Undead trait, you may bury a card to add 1d8.
Void Eagle-Use blessing of spellbound if needed-it is a free recharge.
Thanks for the blessing. And thanks of the reminder, EmpTyger. I remembered the Undead bonus, but completely forgot about the Construct.
FYI, seems like there will be some flexibility on the event ending date, to allow a few extra days to finish the scenario.
