Special Adventure Text:

At the start of this adventure, choose whether you wish to count the adventure for purposes of tier advancement. If you choose not to count this adventure as tier advancement, you do not gain feats as provided in the Guide, but you do gain scenario rewards and deck upgrades as normal.

Do not read any scenario’s villains or henchmen before playing it. If you die and are not returned from death before the end of a scenario, you may play another character for the next scenario.

If you fail a scenario, immediately replay it.

During This Scenario: Instead of your explore step, you may get a piece of the puzzle from the Card Guild organizer. Players may freely discuss and work on the puzzle until the end of Part 3, even if you successfully complete the scenario first. When you believe you have solved the puzzle, report your solution to the Card Guild organizer; if the solution is correct, report 2 successes to the Overseer GM. If the solution is incorrect, you may continue working on the puzzle.

To win the scenario, defeat and corner the villain Mage Ogre.

How many turns has Ekkie watched go by during this entire scenario? There's gotta be a Blessing 2 somewhere in one of these Blessings Decks, surely? (Either the Section 1 or Section 2 one...)

Ekkie reveals and additionally discards Short Sword for combat, drawing a card (Staff of Minor Healing) from her power.
Her check has the Basic trait, so her power adds 1d6.
Boo, I was hoping for anything to explore with. I suppose I'll banish Guidance to add 1 to my check here.

Combat 11: 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (1) + (5) + (2) + 1 = 14 -> Wow, continued low rolls - the Guidance almost mattered.
Scenario Power: 1d6 ⇒ 1 -> Arghh, another 1!? Oh no... Ghoul is undefeated and shuffled back - Ekkie is forced to instantly end her turn and reset her hand.

Ekkie is set upon by ugly big-tongued ex-longshanks. It reeks and hisses, causing Ekkie to shriek in fear, drop one of her treasured scrap weapons and run for the hills!

Well... that was awful. 100% wasted my turn, and my short sword, and my Guidance, all for nothing.

Mavaro's Deck Handler

Mavaro begins his turn under Blessing of Pharasma.

Mavaro will move to Scorched Ruins and use his free explore to encounter Magic Leather Armor. He will try to acquire it.

CtA Constitution 2: 1d8 ⇒ 6

And Mavaro's collection grows! Now I'm going to recharge Potion of Ruggedness to put Blessing of Angradd on top of my deck and then cast Augury (thanks Merisiel) looking for Monsters. I examine Card 2 Cultist, Card 3 Bastard Sword +1, and Card 4 Leather Armor. I put Card 2: Cultist at the bottom and Scorched Ruins is shuffled.

Recharge check, Divine 8: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

I will now cast Detect Evil to examine the new top card of the location.

Random top card: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Recharge Detect Evil, Divine 6: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

I will discard Archer to explore again and encounter Leather Armor, which is automatically acquired since Blessing of Angradd grants me Constitution = Knowledge

Before ending my turn, I will discard Leather Armor and use the power on Magic Leather Armor to recharge it. Then I'll end my turn and reset my hand.

Mavaro's Deck Handler

During Ekkie's turn, Mavaro encounters a Zombie Minion. He will take this chance to display Spirit Surge and draw 3 cards: Cape of Escape, Blessing of the Spellbound and Potion of Ruggedness. Then, I will recharge Potion of Ruggedness to put Venomous Fighting Fan +1 on top of my deck, gaining Melee = Knowledge. I will also discard my Blessing of the Spellbound to add a die.

CtD Zombie Minion, Combat Melee 9: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8

Unfortunately, I failed the check to defeat. I will recharge my Shield Cloak to reduce damage to 0, but Zombie Horde is not defeated.

Deck Handler // Searching For: None

The Zombie Horde is undefeated and shuffled back in.
Ekkie continues her turn.

======================

Ekkie discards Blessing of Kofusachi to explore again, drawing a card (Blowgun) from her power.
Scorched Ruins Card #: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Scorched Ruins Card 2: Bugbear

Bugbear:

Monster B
Traits:
Elite
Goblin
Warrior
To Defeat:
Combat 10 If undefeated, bury 1 item or weapon of your choice from your discard pile.
Ekkie reveals and additionally recharges Blowgun for combat. Her check has the Basic trait, so her power adds 1d6.
Combat 10 (Stealth): 1d10 + 3 + 1d4 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 3 + (3) + (4) + (1) = 19 -> Bugbear defeated.

I am officially giving up waiting for a Blessing 2 (after something like 20 or so turns in total), and just using my Sacred Candle. Odd that I never had this much of an issue grabbing current-AD# blessings with my other characters, or my teammates using it in PFSACG.

Ekkie buries Sacred Candle to draw Blessing of Lamashtu from the top of the blessings discard pile into her hand.
Blessing of the Gods is now on top of the blessings discard pile.

Ekkie discards Blessing of Lamashtu to explore again, drawing a card (Reformarium Servant) from her power.
Scorched Ruins Card #: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Scorched Ruins Card 1: Zombie Horde

Zombie Horde:

Barrier 2
Traits:
Elite
Skirmish
Undead
Zombie
To Defeat:
None Each character at an open location summons and encounters a Zombie Minion henchman. If any character does not defeat the Zombie Minion, the Zombie Horde is undefeated.
Here we go again.
Mavaro and Talitha must summon and encounter a Zombie Minion.
Ekkie summons and encounters a Zombie Minion.
Zombie Minion:
Henchman 2
Type: Monster
Traits: Undead Zombie
To Defeat: Combat 9
The Zombie Minion is immune to the Mental and Poison traits. Damage dealt by the Zombie Minion is reduced by half (round up). If defeated, you may immediately attempt to close this location.
Ekkie reveals Rochin for combat. Her check has the Basic trait, so her power adds 1d6.
Ekkie reveals Reformarium Servant, using its power to discard Caltrops and add 1d4 to Ekkie's check. Ekkie draws a card (Deconstructor) from discarding a card.
Combat 9 (Acrobatics): 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (9) + 3 + (4) + (6) + (3) = 25 -> Zombie Minion defeated.

Regardless as to whether the remaining Zombies are defeated or not; Ekkie ends her turn and resets her hand.
Shame that I only managed to get through 2 cards, and still just kept drawing weapons I really don't need.

Mavaro's Deck Handler

Once more, during Ekkie's turn, Mavaro fights a Zombie Minion. His Melee is still = Knowledge. I will also reveal The Missing Eye to add 1d8+1.

CtD Zombie Minion, Combat Melee 9: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (2, 2) + 5 = 9

I don't know why I forgot I had The Missing Eye in the CtD yesterday. Anywho, Zombie Minion defeated.

Starting Mavaro's turn under Blessing of the Gods.

Mavaro is happy to see Ekkie again, but is repelled by her "exploration style", thinking it too chaotic for his own taste. Knowing her more than capable of handling herself on her own, he moves deeper into the asteroid core reaching what appears to be a valley corrupted by the abyss. Strange place, this asteroid.

Mavaro moves to the Wounded lands. I will explore to encounter Card 1: Grizzled Mercenary. I will recharge Burglar to put Cleric of Nethys on top of my deck and gain Charisma = Knowledge.

CtA Charisma 6: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Seeing him struggle to navigate the land, a man who Mavaro assumed to be a fellow Pathfinder but revealed himself to really be a mercenary working for the Venture Captain offered his survivalist services. Mavaro agreed and the two set out together.

I will discard the Grizzled Mercenary to explore and encounter Card 2: Trapped Locker. For the check to defeat, I will recharge Cape of Escape to put Burglar on top of my deck, gaining Dexterity = Knowledge. I will also recharge Blessing of Angradd to add a die.

CtD Dexterity 9: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (7, 5) + 4 = 16

I add Elven Breastplate to my hand.

Mavaor comes across a locker. He can feel that inside there's an enchanted item, so he summons to his aide the Burglar that had been accompanying him. After a while, they are able to unlock it and Mavaro finds a finely crafter piece of elven armor. His collection grows ever so large!

I will now discard Troubadour to explore and encounter Card 3: Heavy Pick +1. Not particularly interested on this item, so I'll let it go.

Around him, Mavaro can feel more magic. However, he begins feeling guilty about spending so much time collecting trinkets instead of focusing on the mission, so he leaves them be.

I will end my turn. At the end of my turn, I take 1 point of mental damage that cannot be reduced from Spirit Surge. I will recharge my Helm of Telepathy to recharge Elven Breastplate instead of discarding it. Then I will reset my hand.

Nah, with the puzzle still-unsolved, I won't aim to finish this scenario yet.
Ekkie uses her power to evade Mage Ogre, shuffling it into a random open location.
Random Location: 1d4 ⇒ 1 -> Mage Ogre is shuffled into the Cavern.

Ekkie delves further into the weird ruins, guided by a voice - light? - in her head - in front of her?

Ekkie's confused. She catches a glimpse of the Ogre leader of the mercenaries as she rounds a corner. She claps a hand over her lips to stifle a squeal, quickly ducking behind the corner before the wizard notices her!

That was close! She dares to peek around, hearing the brute shout commands - something about the band going to deal with the intruders over at the Caverns?

Ekkie displays Wandermeal after her initial exploration, adding 1d6 to all non-combat checks this turn.

Mavaro's Deck Handler

With the villain already located and enough locations closed to finish the game at any given point, I think Mavaro will begin focusing on getting more clues!

Mavaro starts his turn under Blessing of the Gods.

At the start of Mavaro's turn, I will recharge Troubadour to put Fly on top of my deck. During my move step, I will move to the Cavern. At the end of my move step, I will cast Psychic Reading to exchange Blessing of Angradd from my hand with Fly from the top of my deck.

Recharge Psychic Reading, Divine 8: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Psychic Reading would be discarded, but it is instead displayed on top of my Riffle Scrolls. Also at the end of my move step, I will cast Augury looking for Barriers. Since the location was shuffled when the villain was moved there, I will examine 3 random cards. The villain will be considered to be card 6 for this purpose.

Random Card to examine: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Random Card to examine: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Random Card to examine: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Random Card to examine: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Recharge Augury, Divine 8: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Augury would be discarded, but it is instead placed on top of Riffle Scrolls. I find Mace, Pit Trap and the Villain. Card 5: Pit trap is now at the bottom of Cavern. The rest of the cards need to be shuffled.

Also at the end of my move step, I cast Fly to examine the top card of Cavern and Wounded Lands. For the top card of Cavern, I will roll 1d6 ignoring results of 5 (Pit Trap).

Random Top Card to examine at Cavern: 1d6 ⇒ 1

The top card of Cavern is Lightning Elemental (Henchman). The top card of Wounded Lands is Locked Stone Door (Barrier). I will move back to Wounded Lands through the effects of Fly.

Recharge Fly, Divine 10: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Fly would be discarded, but it is instead put on top of Riffle Scrolls. I will give up my explore phase this turn to get another clue.

Before I reset my hand, I will cast Cure on myself.

Cure: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

After shuffling Blessing of the Spellbound and Leather armor back into my deck, the new top card of my deck is Blessing of the Spellbound.

Recharge Cure, Divine 8: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Not my best turn in terms of spellcasting. Cure is placed on top of Riffle Scrolls instead of discarding it. I then end my turn.

At the start of this adventure, choose whether you wish to count the adventure for purposes of tier advancement. If you choose not to count this adventure as tier advancement, you do not gain feats as provided in the Guide, but you do gain scenario rewards and deck upgrades as normal.

Do not read any scenario’s villains or henchmen before playing it. If you die and are not returned from death before the end of a scenario, you may play another character for the next scenario.

If you fail a scenario, immediately replay it.

During This Scenario: Instead of your explore step, you may get a piece of the puzzle from the Card Guild organizer. Players may freely discuss and work on the puzzle until the end of Part 3, even if you successfully complete the scenario first. When you believe you have solved the puzzle, report your solution to the Card Guild organizer; if the solution is correct, report 2 successes to the Overseer GM. If the solution is incorrect, you may continue working on the puzzle.

To win the scenario, defeat and corner the villain Mage Ogre.

Ekkie starts her turn.
Blessing of the Gods discarded from the Blessings Deck.

I'm not going to be much help closing these Wisdom-based locations, and they're overwhelmingly just banes anyway, so...
Ekkie moves to the Cavern.

Ekkie takes her free exploration.
Cavern Card 2: Mage Ogre (VILLAIN)

Mage Ogre:

Villain 2
Type: Monster
Traits:
Outsider
Giant
Ogre
Wizard
Veteran
To Defeat:
Combat 14
THEN Combat 14 The Mage Ogre is immune to the Cold and Electricity traits. The difficulty to defeat is increased by twice the scenario’s adventure deck number. If the check to defeat has the Acid or Fire trait, add 1 die. Damage dealt by the Mage Ogre is dealt to each character at your location.
Before you act, succeed at an Arcane or Divine check with a difficulty of 9 plus the scenario’s adventure deck number or you may not play spells that have the Attack trait.
If undefeated, the Mage Ogre deals 1d4+1 Cold damage to each character at your location.
Hm...
Pause for discussion (and temp closing).

Struck by a sudden burst of bravery (and remembering some pretty baubles around the mage-ogre's neck), Ekkie turns and heads to where she's pretty sure the caverns that the mercenaries were talking about were headed. Maybe she could sneak-sneak in and drop a big rock on their leader or something, steal their shiny gemstuff and be big hero for odd longshanks explorers - they'll probably shower Ekkie in shining gold and build statues and sing songs of her bravery, surely, right?

Ekkie finds the caverns - probably the right ones - and skulks inside, glancing around from the shadows...

Strategy/Thoughts: So, if the team wishes to go for the win now, and both Mavaro and Merisiel are comfortable temp-closing (Ekkie can offer a single blessing), then I think we have this.
Using Rochin, Speed and Reformarium Servant, Ekkie can roll {1d10+3d6+1d4+6} for a single combat check against the villain, which is 95% odds against the difficulty 18 I need to reach.
The second combat check can be handled by Talitha; I anticipate that she can make a mroe powerful combat check than Ekkie (after Ekkie uses up her Rochin). If not; Ekkie can take on both combat checks.

Of course, alternatively; Ekkie can just evade the Mage Ogre then try to chain together enough explorations to close the location the hard way - assuming her evasion shunts the villain to a different location.

Mavaro's Deck Handler

During Ekkie's turn, Mavaro attempts to temp close Wounded Lands. Before doing so, he will recharge Burglar to search his deck for Cure and put it on top of his deck. He will gain Wisdom = Knowledge and add the Divine trait to his check. Then, I am going to recharge my Blessing of the Spellbound to add a die.

Wisdom (Knowledge) 8: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 7) + 4 = 16

Wounded Lands are temporarily closed.


Even as the many-faceted prison spins and reconfigures itself, it cannot keep pace with the combined efforts of the Pathfinder Society. A refreshing breeze pours from the immense orb, restoring the agents’ will to fight.

Table GMs, the Winds of Restoration condition is now in effect.

We have 74 out of 90 clues!

If undefeated, the Mage Ogre deals 1d4+1 Cold damage to each character at your location.
Ekkie reveals and additionally sets aside Rochin for combat. Her check has the Basic trait, so her power adds 1d6.
Ekkie displays Speed next to herself to add +3 to her Dexterity checks this turn.
Ekkie reveals Reformarium Servant, using its power to discard Blessing of Wadjet and add 1d4 to Ekkie's check. Ekkie chooses not to draw a card.
Merisiel discards Heavy Crossbow to add 1d4.

Combat 14+4 (Acrobatics): 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 3 + 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + (3) + (6) + (1) + 3 + (1) + (4) = 24 -> Check 1 passed. Ekkie attempts to recharge Rochin; Ekkie's recharge check is against a card with the Basic trait, so she adds 1d6 from her power.
Acrobatics 7 (Recharge): 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 + (2) + 3 = 15 -> Rochin recharged.

Ekkie catches a glimpse of the Mage Ogre and lets out a mighty warcry (that sounds more like a particularly ugly bird chick squealing) as she lunges at the monster with a dagger in each hand, driving them into its shoulders and flanks. The Ogre curses and swings, and Ekkie gets another couple of stabs off before being flung against a nearby cavern wall from a backhand from the brute. Ekkie's head slams to the stone and she drops like a sack, dizzy-eyed and hurting.

Bloodied, the wounded Ogre roars in furious pain, before beginning an arcane incantation, pointing at the stunned goblin as they draw upon their magic, preparing to smite their would-be attacker...

Ekkie requests that Talitha take the second combat check to defeat. Ekkie offers Blessings of the Gods for support.
With Talitha going all-out in combat with Gallivance, Magus Arcana and Ekkie's blessing, she should be rolling a total of {2d8+1d6+2d10+1d4+9}, which is 99.85% odds (effectively guaranteed) and far in excess of what Ekkie can accomplish.

Combat 18, Use Gallivance, and bury Crow, use Ekkie's blessing: 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 + 1 + 1d10 + 6 + 1d8 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (6) + 1 + (6) + 6 + (4) = 31. Your welcome.


DEVELOPMENT:
You have beaten back the fiendish forces, buying you a chance to catch your breath. As you do, you and your colleagues finally break open the prison. Within lies a sparkling gem of unparalleled beauty, and you could swear that something within it speaks and conveys words of gratitude. Master of Spells Sorrina Westyr scoops up the jewel and motions toward the exit. “We’re not out of this yet, Pathfinders! Let’s topple the last of these daemons and head home!”

SCENARIO REWARD:
Report one success to the Overseer GM.(Note: ACG Successes are counted as two successes for this special)

Each character chooses a type of boon other than loot, then draws a card of that type from the box. Pathfinder Adventure Card Guild characters may use it as a bonus deck upgrade.

(BR's Note: This reward is drawn from your Class Deck Box, as per the Card Guild Guide instructions.
Here's the exact instructions:
1. Choose a card type.
2. Count all of the cards of that type in both your Class and Ultimate Decks of your current character Tier or lower. (This will occur before Tier Advancement)
3. Randomly pick one, preferably via a die roll on the forums. You may take that specific card as a bonus Deck Upgrade.)

ADVENTURE REWARD:
Each character gains a card feat.

ACQUIRED CARDS:

I did some funky stuff when I changed over to part 2 and didn't retain the card acquisitions from part 1. So getting that list will take me a minute as I mine the previous posts.


Sorrina Westyr’s image manifests to the Pathfinders, standing before a floating metallic cube 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!”

Table GMs, begin the final encounters.

A Blessing of Lamashtu was acquired by Ekkie during this post.

Ekkie acquired a bunch of Weapon 0s at another table, but they're probably not relevant.
Sadly, Speed was banished on the final turn, as it was displayed by Ekkie who lacks the Arcane skill, so there's no Spell 1.

Mavaro's Deck Handler

We do have a Spell 1 (I think?). Merisiel brought with her a Spell 1 (Augury)and a Spell 2 (Toxic Cloud) that she passed on to Mavaro and Talitha, respectively, though I assume those were acquired at a different table, and I am not sure how that works in this special.


Merisiel's Deck Handler

Correct, Augury (Spell B) and Toxic Cloud (Spell 2) were acquired at a different table


Deck Handler // Searching For: None

Yes, cards acquired on other tables by characters on this table do count for card upgrades.


Merisiel's Deck Handler

In that case, I acquired a Web (Spell 2) as well


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 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.”

____

Huge thanks to all of the GM's, BR's, and players that made this go off successfully! This Special is by far one of the more difficult to organize for all of them and it went off spectacularly.
