Current Scenario Harrow Suit: Books


201 to 238 of 238 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | next > last >>

Grenek's Deck Handler // Searching For: Weapon 1 > Item 1 > Armor B > Item B

Deck Upgrade:
Armor 6 for Hellknight Plate: 1d1000 ⇒ 833 I only need this if someone else wants the Loot. If not, I can just take the Loot
Item 6 for Scabbard of Keen Edges (Item 5): 1d1 ⇒ 1

Hero Point: Spending it on a Feat. Which feat depends on my deck upgrade.

Loot: I don't want Kazavon's Shield. (Most of Weapons are 2 handed, so I can't use the Shield and a Weapon)

I'm very interested in the Hellknight Plate, but I can take it as a deck upgrade if someone else is also interested.


Deck Handler Desired upgrades: Spell 1, Blessing 1, Ally 1

So the 6s were blessing, item, armor, and spell.

Quinn might want Greater Bolstering Armor but odds are Grenek is fine taking the armor 6.

Enora wants the spell 6 which is fine with me.

Quinn has access to Third Eye, The Lost Harrows, and Fuse Grenade. All decent choices for item 6.

So blessing 6: 1d1000 ⇒ 759

I'm fine with Angelic Armor if Quinn wants Hellknight Plate for loot.

Ukuja explores a lot so gets a lot of use out of Steal Soul but he doesn't really struggle except on very hard combat checks or checks he has no hope of anyway. So up to Enora.

Spending my Hero Point on a Skill Feat: CON


Deck Handler Desired upgrades: Spell 1, Blessing 1, Ally 1

Spending hero point on skill feat +1 to dexterity.

Desired upgrade is spell 6 but if Enora still has an important spell 6 she wants I'll take an ally 5.

I'll take Moise for my supporter feat.

And I vote no on making deals with assassins.


Enora will take an Armor 6 (using as Armor 5 Helm of Electric Radiance), and an Armor card feat for it. So Ukuja can have the spell 6.
Out of curiosity, which loot armors are currently unclaimed?
Supporter feat will be Aviva. (Arcanists stick together!)

Enora will be voting parley. (Diplomacy, and the Red Mantis Assassins are resistant to attack spells.)


Grenek's Deck Handler // Searching For: Weapon 1 > Item 1 > Armor B > Item B

Deck Upgrade: Weapon 6 for Commander's Falchion

Hero Point: Spending it on a Power Feat: Bite is now d8

Loot I'll continue taking Ukwar Axe and would also like to take Ashbringer.

I think Kazavon's Shield is the only unclaimed Loot Armor.

Scenario Vote: Grenek would want to fight the Red Mantis Assassins. They were mean to him before.

Enora will take a Blessing 6 (of the All-Seeing Eye) for her reward. For my normal upgrade, I think I'm only interested in an Item 4 (Magnetic Grimoire).

I am interested in the Loot Ring of Splendid Security.

All,

This next scenario is going to be a bit weird in terms of running it for PbP. Here's the 'Setup' and 'During this scenario' text.

Capstone scenario rules:

SETUP
Display the Perils and the Harrows wildcards. Add any number of wildcards from them (minimum 1 from each card).

When building the locations, use the Small column, then shuffle in a number of monsters equal to the number of characters, plus a closing henchman Mysterious Relic - Proxy A and a closing henchman Planar Rift - Proxy B.

After building the locations, create a demiplane stack from a number of random locations other than Arena, Base and Manor equal to 4 more than the number of characters.

DURING THIS SCENARIO
When a location is closed and banished, build a random location from the demiplane stack, remove a random wildcard, then add a new wildcard from the other displayed wildcard.

On your turn, after a bane is undefeated or after you move, exchange your current location card with a random card in the demiplane stack.

When a bane is defeated and would be banished, recharge it into its location instead.

To win, close a number of locations equal to 4 more than the number of characters.

I have a few questions for you guys before I set up the scenario

1) The number of wildcards you choose will alter your reward for the scenario. You will be able to grant 1 Hero Point to a number of your characters equal to the number chosen. Given this, which wildcards would you like me to set-up for the scenario?

2) It's going to be a bit weird to handle the 'shifting locations' when people move from one location to another or a bane is undefeated. We can either say we will always pause after a turn when this happened to wait for an update, or have something set up to keep track of it. What is your preference?

3) If we go with the second option above, could one of you help with putting this together?

4) Alternatively, would you be open to maybe running this 'live' at some point in the future? I don't know if you own Tabletop simulator but the scenario would be significantly easier to run there. If not, I can probably still run TTS myself and stream for you so that you can direct your turn. It would be kind of a neat way to end the campaign too.


Interesting!

1) Eh, I'm not hungry for hero points. My vote is the minimum 1+1.
2) Maybe a combination:
* When we need to exchange locations, use a list. See #3 below.
* When we need to build a new location, pause. We might not need to pause, but I expect we'd run out of random cards so quickly if we did try to continue, that we'd need to pause soon enough anyhow.
3) Sure, I'd be willing. I have an idea: for ships on my S&S tables, I have a list for players to roll on. So I'm thinking something similar but for locations. (And in fact I'll have something tomorrow that I wouldn't mind some mindless data entry to do during.)
4) While I do have Tabletop Simulator, my preference would be finish it out over PbP.

Happy to align

Also I have used a tracking sheet
Location card movement tracking in the past for locations where cards move around. (Thanks Zalarian!)
Happy to set up something similar for the next scenario

Dark Archive

I vote for the lowest number of Wildcards (one from each)
My thoughts on least painful

The Perils #1 DEADLY
The Perils #2 WEARISOME

The Harrows #1 HARROW OF SHIELDS
The Harrows #2 HARROW OF BOOKS

So the way I read it, we have to select one Wildcard from each list to start with
Then when we close a location, we banish a random wildcard and then pick a wildcard from the list(that didn't have one banished) e.g.
Start with
The Perils #1 DEADLY
The Harrows #1 HARROW OF SHIELDS

Close location, randomly banish = The Harrows #1 HARROW OF SHIELDS, therefore we have to choose from The Perils e.g. The Perils #2 WEARISOME
Now active are
The Perils #1 DEADLY
The Perils #2 WEARISOME

Close location, randomly banish = The Perils #1 DEADLY, therefore we have to choose from The Harrows e.g #1 HARROW OF SHIELDS

Repeat
That way if we agree the #1 & #2 least hateful wildcards on each Card we can rotate through as locations are closed

Does that work for you guys as a strategy? If so, let me know your #1 & #2 for each wildcard type


Deck Handler Desired upgrades: Spell 1, Blessing 1, Ally 1

Sounds good.


Yeah, good idea!

For Harrows:
1) Harrow of Keys? At least initially, we only have 1 barrier.
2) Harrow of Shields??

For Perils:
1) Ablaze? Half the time it does nothing, and with armor or an empty hand it's likely also harmless.
2) Nothing else really jumps out for the other one. lol Really, anything other than Unhallowed.


Grenek's Deck Handler // Searching For: Weapon 1 > Item 1 > Armor B > Item B

I like that idea too. Here's what I think are the least harmful:

The Harrows:

1) Shields (though I'm biased because I'm good at Fort checks)
2) Keys or Books (Maybe we could use keys and then switch it if a location with lots of barriers gets built?

The Perils:

1) Ablaze (For the same reason as Emptyger. And taking chip damage just gives me rage fodder)
2) Confusing or Deadly
(I don't think we should use Wearisome. It seems like the goal is to speed-close a whole bunch of locations, so we'd probably want to maximize explores)

Dark Archive

OK, so suggested starting is
The Perils #1 Ablaze
The Harrows #1 HARROW OF Shields

Backups
The Perils #2 DEADLY
The Harrows #2 HARROW OF BOOKS

Ammendment: I'll take the uncontested Item 5 for Barb Class Deck Silver War Paint. Then I'll replace it with the Core/Curse Version.


The only upgrade Enora would be interested in would be Ally 6 (Autumn Witch).
Also, I think we only need 1 extra boon, since Enora picked up an Ally 4 Landshark Whelp when she closed the Cell. So we wouldn't have an Item 5 available for upgrades.

Adventure Reward
N/A

Tier 6.5

Ally 4: 1d1000 ⇒ 940

Deck Handler Desired upgrades: Spell 1, Blessing 1, Ally 1

Not worried about the upgrades.

Applying 1 HP to 145373-1013
Applying the other to 145373-1020


Grenek's Deck Handler // Searching For: Weapon 1 > Item 1 > Armor B > Item B

No Upgrades

Applying the Hero Points to:
126387-1006
126387-1009


I think I'm just going to have Enora take 1 hero point, and forfeit the other. (Just my personally feeling weird about applying rewards to characters that haven't themselves "earned" them. And I'm very conservative about using Hero Points regardless.)
