Upgrade
Pretty sure we covered the upgrades in chat. Enora wanted a spell 3. You want the blessing 4. And Ukuja wants the armor 5.
Replacing Blessing of Kelizandri with Blessing of Abadar (blessing 3). Replacing other banished cards with themselves.
Upgrading Arboreal Armor to Bearskin Armor (armor 5)
Yup, and Enora will replace Augury with Create Mindscape by taking a Spell 3 Upgrade.
No tier upgrade since this is the 3rd game at this tier.
Tiering up? No.
Card feat will be ally. Adding Hatchetbird (Ally 2)
Not taking any upgrades.
End of scenario 5-5D
Tier rewards: Card Feat Ally. This creates an empty space in Enora's deck that she would fill with Bound Lantern Archon
Tiering up?: not yet
Deck Upgrades: Enora will take the Spell 3 deck upgrade, unless someone wants it. She will use it to replace Ghost Whip with Volcanic Storm
Loot for next mission: Same loot as for the previous mission, Enora would like to continue using the Immortal Dreamstone instead of her Dreamcatcher, and Totem Necklace instead of Binder's Tome.
Card Feat: Item
Tier Up?: No
Deck Upgrade Item 5 (Ring of Stony Flesh)
End of scenario 5-5E
Tier rewards: None.
Tiering up?: Only if everyone else is tiering up before the promo.
Deck Upgrades: Enora could probably use the Item 5 to upgrade her Staff of Minor Healing to Staff of Life, to help with healing herself and diminish the burden on Ukuja and Erasmus. Otherwise, Enora will not take a deck upgrade.
Loot for next mission: Enora will still be taking the Immortal Dreamstone, replacing her Dreamcatcher with the Immortal Dreamstone. She will no longer be taking the Totem Necklace.
Scenario 5-5E:
Card Upgrade: I'd like the Spell 5 to replace Mind Thrust with Dragon's Breath
Tiering Up?: No
Adventure Reward: Card Feat: Spell. Add back in Mind Thrust
Addendum to my previous post:
Adventure reward: Enora will take a Power Feat to check-off (or Acid, Electricity, or Force) in her 3rd power, the one that allows her to reduce damage to 0 of a certain type by discarding a spell.
Ukuja will take a power feat +1 to Dex.
Not taking any upgrades.
Not tiering up.
So the reward is a feat of our choice. I'll take skill feat for +1 to dexterity.
If we get an ally 5 I would like to upgrade Hatchetbird to a Hippopotamus but it isn't a high priority so if one of you has an ally 5 you want then go for it.
And Ukuja is tiering up.
So based on the acquired list I would like the ally 5.
As for another upgrade, Blessing of the Everbloom (Blessing 5) is an upgrade to Blessing of Milani but if you both want a blessing 5 go for it.
Enora will take the Blessing 4 as her main upgrade, and Spell 5 as her second upgrade unless someone else wants it.
I'll take the last Blessing 5 to replace Blessing of Angradd with Sign of the Bridge.
For the second upgrade, I'll take the Item 4 to replace Bird Feather Tokens with Shadow Victim Ring
Ukuja would like the ally 6.
Skill feat will be +1 dex.
As for second upgrade, With 1 of you and soon both of you having access to crazy high strength and dexterity I can upgrade my mostly useless Oaken Staff with one of the following weapons with the intent of passing it to Erasmus. Or Enora if it doesn't require proficiency.
Thorn Bow
For your combat check, reveal this card to use your Dexterity or Ranged skill plus your Strength die + 2. If not proficient with weapons, the difficulty of this check is increased by 4. If you fail this check, you may discard this card to ignore the result and evade the bane; put it on top of its location deck.
If proficient with weapons, put this card on top of your deck to add 1d4+1 to a combat check by a character at another location.
(For Erasmus that will be 2d12 +4 base)
Greenblood Scourge
For your combat check, reveal this card and recharge a card to use your Strength or Melee skill + 2d6 plus the recharged card's adventure deck number; you may additionally recharge this card to add 6. If you fail this check and are proficient with weapons, you may discard this card to ignore the result and evade the bane.
(1d12 +2d6 +2 +? base for you both with extra bonuses.)
I'll take one of the Weapon 6s to replace Menacing Backsword +1 with Corrosive Backsword +4.
I'm interested in the Item 6 for Lacuna Codex, but its just ok.
If both Enora and Erasmus want a Spell 6 for Shapechange, I think Enora should get it first. I'm getting it for the boosted physical stats, but honestly my physical stats are already good with Nissa/Baylock; I don't need the d12, it just want the d12. I think we get more bang for our buck if Enora takes it.
For Ukuja's Weapon upgrade, my vote is actually for the Chakram of Ruin he mentioned in the discord. I feel like our weakpoint is Non-WIS Barriers cuz we usually don't have a rogue-y character, so having another way to take care of them would be nice.
The issue with the Chakram is that it is only useful vs Obstacle barriers. And very few of the S&S barriers are obstacle.
That was not very lucky of us, considering the amount of plunder we drew. Oh well.
Enora does want the Spell 6. Unfortunately, the only other upgrades Enora can ever take are Item, Ally and Blessing. We didn't get any good blessings, so my other options are Ally 6 and Item 6, which Ukuja and Erasmus want to have, respectively.
I'm ok with not getting a second upgrade, but just for full disclosure, Enora would get:
Ally 6: Autum Witch - The ability to evade encounters is very nice, plus the witch allows Enora to have a "blessing" that always recharges (for her).
Item 6: Scarf of Storytelling - This basically reduces the size of any location by 5 cards on missions with closing henchmen, as Enora can simply call out the name of the henchman and draw them out (unless there's a lot of different henchmen I guess). It also recharges to give Enora a boost when acquiring spells, but she doesn't really need that. I must note I personally think Lacuna Codex is way better than this item.
I'm open to your thoughts and suggestions!
So Ukuja took ally 6 for Shadowcat. Weapon 5 for Thornbow. And increased his dexterity by +1 for the skill feat.
Ukuja is running dry on power feats. Taking the one that allows me to shuffle a discarded animal ally in instead of just recharging.
Not taking any upgrades.
Power Feat: Hand Size 6
Upgrade: Spell 6 for Shapechange
Also, I registered us to be included for CAGII so we get to roll for Boons! Roll a d20 and on a 20, you get to pick one of the following Boons:
Fangwood Thieves Reward #2: [ ] [ ] [ ] Divine Intervention:
Check a box that precedes this reward to freely play a blessing on a check.Fangwood Thieves Reward #3: [ ] [ ] [ ] What Resistance?
Check a box that precedes this reward to treat a monster that is resistant to a trait as vulnerable to that trait.
If no one else is taking it, Enora would take the Ally 6 deck upgrade.
For power feats, Enora will take "When you play a spell that has... ([X]or Acid, or Electricity, or Force) traits..."
Since the next mission will involve Weather banes, I will be bringing our new loot "Staff of Weather". I will be replacing my Binder's Tome for it.
Finally...
Since a weapon 6 is going unclaimed I'll take it and try out Chakram of Ruin.
Ukuja will be taking the spell 6 in hopes that Sekk Quarry helps here. And he'll be taking Immortal Dreamstone loot.
Enora will be taking one of the Spell 5's to replace Ring of Fire with Eagle Aerie.
For loot, Enora will be taking...
Staff of Weather instead of Binder's Tome
Farglass instead of Byzantine Lexicon
Avimar Sorrinash instead of Bound Lantern Archon
Ukuja will lose the feat that allows him to shuffle in a discarded ally instead of recharging it. Not sure how I had 8 power feats. I chose skill for the promo.
Card feat will be ally.
Upgrade I could use the ally 6 but it is a minor upgrade so if either of you have good ally 6s have it. No interest in the other upgrades.
Well, I'm sorry. Apparently I was cheating for who knows how long. Enora somehow had 9 Power Feats and 7 Skill feats. Her total should have been 1 less of each. I suspect I somehow double-dipped on Adv #5's reward, but I can't be sure.
Enora has unchecked the power feat that allows her to discard a card to examine her deck and the related feat that allowed her to recharge the examined card. This brings her total down to 7 Power Feats.
Enora also unchecked 1 Charisma feat.
With that, Enora should be legit once again.
Enora will get a Blessing Card Feat. She will be filling the empty slot with Blessing of Thoth (Blessing 1).
Enora banished her Bound Lantern Archon during the last game, so she will fill the empty slot with Imp (ally 3).
For deck upgrades, Enora would like to take the Item 5. We are going to need ways to help each other more outside of blessings now, so Enora will replace her Byzantine Lexicon with Staff of Curses, which should help with the high checks to defeat some of these story banes quite a bit.
As for Core Card replacements, I will be making the following substitutions:
Shapechange
Steal Soul
Icy Prison
Staff of Minor Healing
Finally, I will be migrating to the new deck handler. The link in my profile will also be updated.
Card Upgrade: Spell 6 to replace Scrying with Seek Quarry
Card Feat: Check off a box then immediately un-check it for a hero point
Conversion:
Uncheck Hand Size 6 to bring me down to 7 Power Feats
Replacing Shapechange with the Curse version of Shapechange
Ukuja has 7 of each feat counting the card feat he just got. (Ally)
He has apparently never used a die bump so has 5 hero points.
Taking the Ally 6 for my upgrade.
Taking the weapon 5 for my upgrade. No use for the second upgrade.
It sounds like we each get to pick a level 6 boon to add to the pool before picking upgrades so one of you can pick for Ukuja if you still have tier 6 upgrades you want. And Ukuja gets another hero point.
Enora would like to add an Ally 6 to the pile. Also, unless Erasmus wants to take Ukuja up on his offer. Enora would like to use his boon to add an Item 6.
Enora would then take the Ally 6 for the super broken Fortune-teller, taking out her Imp.
If Ukuja did add the Item 6 to the pile, Enora would like to replace her binder's Tome with Scarf of Storytelling.
I'll take the existing Ally 5 to alos take Fortune-Teller, replacing Heister.
I'll use the scenario reward to add in a Blessing 6 to take Blessing 5: Blessing of the Mantis God, replacing Sign of the Lantern Bearer
