[PACS][PBP GDVIII] BR Dinketry's Season of Rotting Ruins (Inactive)

Game Master dinketry

Boon!: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Hey everyone!

I'm letting everyone know that I'll be travelling to the States on my Friday, October the 18th, a journey which - between the series of long flights and the absolute necessity to pass out asleep as soon as I reach my destination, and the associated settling in - will likely take me out of action for about 36-48.

For the timezones of most of you, this effectively means I likely won't be posting around Thursday or Friday (and possibly Saturday). Once I'm settled in, standard posting frequency should resume, albeit at different time slots. You may bot me as necessary.

Happy trails!

6-1C Things to Do:

1.) Tell me what you want to do with your Hero Point.

2.) Roll for your 1st upgrade.

3.) Roll for your 2nd upgrade.

Potential Upgrades:

1.) Varril will await what he gets from the deck upgrades before deciding on his card feat type, but he will take a card feat.

2.) 1st upgrade roll
Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 982
Ally 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 530
Item 1: 1d1 ⇒ 1 (only if no one else wants and it falls to this)

3.) 2nd upgrade roll
Ally 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 896
Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 82
Item 1: 1d1 ⇒ 1 (only if no one else wants and it falls to this)

Of note, I am super-flexible here. The only thing I really want is a blessing upgrade.

I will apply my new convention boon to Varril.

1. Lem spends his Hero Point on a Power Feat (#2): "At the start of your turn (X and after you reset your hand), you may discard 1 spell then add 1 spell from your discard pile to your hand."

2. First Upgrade:
Spell 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 379
Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 199

3. Second Upgrade:
Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 435
Spell 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 726

4. Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 16

6-1C: To Seek the Devil's Doorstep - Skizza Rewards

Tier Progression: (1.3) Skizza gains a Hero Point.
Skizza expends the Hero Point on a Skill Feat, and checks off...
Intelligence d10 ☑ +1 ☐ +2 ☐ +3 ☐ +4 [/ooc]
(Note, in case it affects anyone else's skill feat choices - I plan to focus on Intelligence, not Dexterity, for my skill feats for the time being.)

Skizza still has 0 remaining Hero Points.

6-1C Boon Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 16 -> No reward.

Scenario Reward: Already drawn.

Skizza's Deck Upgrade preferences are as follows...

First deck upgrade:

Blessing 1 (there’s 7, so enough for everyone)

Second:

1. Ally 1 1d1000 ⇒ 971
2. Blessing 1 1d1000 ⇒ 754

Hero Point: keeping it.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Since neither Skizza nor Brielle want a Spell 1, and there are 3 of them, I think that means that Lem can take one for one of his upgrades, and as noted Blessing 1 for the other.

Spell 1: Replace Lightning Touch with Locate Object

Blessing 1: Replace Blessing of the Spellbound 2 with Blessing of Pharasma

Spend Hero Point on Skill Feat: Int +1

First upgrade:
Ally 1 (there's enough to go around): Social Climber, replaces Psychic Detective.

Second Upgrade:
Item 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 202: Cockroach Coat (UI)
Spell 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 463: Life Drain (PT)
Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 275: Achaekek (UI)
Spell 0: 1d1000 ⇒ 849: Detect Desires (UI)

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Looks like no competition for the Item 1, so I'll take the Coat, which replaces Magnifying Glass.

Blessing of Gorum replaces Blessing of the Gods (3), and Smith replaces Recruit.

6-1C Results:

Correct for Lem.

Nice work! That's the first adventure complete!

6-1D: Treating the Infection - Skizza Rewards

Tier Progression: (1.4) Skizza gains a Hero Point.
Skizza saves his Hero Point.

Skizza has 1 remaining Hero Point.
Skizza tiers up to Tier 2.

6-1D Boon Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 12 -> No reward.

Scenario Reward: Marked on my Chronicle Sheet.

Adventure Reward: Skizza checks the Supporter Feat for Pathfinder Bodyguard.

Skizza's Deck Upgrade preferences are as follows...

6-1D Things to Do:

1.) Tell me what you want to do with your Hero Point.

2.) Tell me what you want to do with your Supporter Feat.

3.) Tell me that you're Tiering up.

Potential Upgrade List:

1.) Banking that Hero Point.

2.) I'm ticking the box on the Pathfinder Chronicler - (Bury to examine top 3 cards of your location)

3.) Tiering up to Tier 2.

4.) Upgrades (in order of preference):
Spell 0: 1d1000 ⇒ 827
Ally 0: 1d1000 ⇒ 444
Item 1: 1 = 1 (only if no one wants it and I don't get the above)

I'm considering ticking another box on my Treasure Hunter boon to take one of the Ally 0s as an additional upgrade. I'll only do it if there's an Ally 0 left over.

5.) Break Glass in case of Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 8

1. Hero point: use it to improve skill feat Strength.

2. I think Brielle would get the feat on Pathfinder Bodyguard, but I have no idea what the card text is.

3. Tiering up to 2.

4. Deck Upgrades choices:

1. Weapon 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 888
2. Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 454

Varril: Hero Point banked; Upgrade - Spell 0; Support Feat - Chronicler; no boon
Lem: ???; Upgrade ???; ??? boon
Brielle: Skill Feat (STR); Upgrade - Weapon 1; Support Feat - Bodyguard; no boon

Check to see if I have this correct, please.

1.) Tell me what you want to do with your Hero Point. -

1.) Tell me what you want to do with your Hero Point. -

Lem is already tier 2 (now 4 xp) and has already taken his tier 2 feats for each of the three categories, so he will simply bank his hero point (giving him a total of 3)

2.) Tell me what you want to do with your Supporter Feat.

I'll take Pathfinder Chronicler and check the box next to "You may bury to examine the top 3 cards of any location"

3.) Tell me that you're Tiering up.

Nope, I'll stay at tier 2 for now to let the rest of the group continue to catch up.

4.) Choose and roll for your deck upgrade:

No upgrade taken.

5.) Roll for your convention boon!

[dice=boon?]1d20

How does Lem have 3 hero points? I don’t have any evidence of this.

6-1D Results:

Skizza: Hero Point banked; Upgrade - Weapon 0; Support Feat - Bodyguard; no boon
Varian: Hero Point banked; Upgrade - Blessing 1; Support Feat- Chronicler; no boon
Varril: Hero Point banked; Upgrade - Spell 0; Support Feat - Chronicler; no boon
Lem: Hero Point banked; no upgrade; Support Feat - Chronicler; no boon
Brielle: Skill Feat (STR); Upgrade - Weapon 1; Support Feat - Bodyguard; no boon

If this is correct, then Varril is going to tick a box on his 'Treasure Hunter' boon and take a bonus Ally 0 upgrade.

Lem played Fangwood Thieves before the start of our current adventure (this is also why he's Tier 2 with 4 xp now). There were 4 scenarios in Fangwood Thieves and he spent 3 hero points on 3 feats, leaving him with one saved. Then he also received another one as the Fangwood Thieves adventure reward. It's all documented on my Fangwood Thieves chronicle sheet, which I'll be happy to send you a copy of, though I won't be able to do that until Monday.

Brielle replaces Wooden Stake by Improvised Club.

Varril replaces Quartermaster with Grave Tender.

Varril replaces Divine Favor with Detect Desires.

Achaekek replaces Ancients.

6-2A Things to Do:

1.) Tell me what you want to do with your Hero Point

2.) Roll for your upgrade.

Potential Deck Upgrades:

1. Hero Point: Lem already has his three feats for tier 2, so he'll save his hero point (bringing him to 4 total). This brings him to tier 2, 5 xp (so he'll have to tier up after the next scenario).

2. Upgrades:
Blessing 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 571 Replace Blessing of Sivanah with Blessing of Nethys
Otherwise, no upgrades desired.

3. Supporter to rally: Boors

4. Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 15

6-2A: Of Swords and Plowshares - Skizza Rewards

Skizza banished Matchlock Hackbut during the scenario, and has an empty Weapon slot.

Tier Progression: (2.1) Skizza gains a Hero Point.
Skizza expends the Hero Point on a Power Feat, and checks off...
Hand Size: 5 ☑ 6

Skizza still has 1 remaining Hero Point.

6-2A Boon Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 1 -> No reward.

Scenario Reward: Skizza will rally the Supporter Ketrik - UNLESS that would leave the Supporter Moise un-rallied, in which case Skizza will rally Moise instead.

Not much pickings for deck upgrades - a single AD2 card despite so many extra allies.

Note; The difference between a Blessing 2 and Blessing 1 isn't that significant for me, so I'm willing to step aside and let someone else have the Blessing 2 if they get a distinct improvement by it.

Skizza's Deck Upgrade preferences are as follows...

1.) Varril will choose to become proficient in Weapons with his Hero Point (power feat).

2.) Varril will go for a Spell 1 over the Blessing 2.

Spell 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 258
Blessing 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 211
Ally 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 60

3.) Varril will recruit Moise.

1. Hero Point: Card Feat: Item. Fill hole with Red Carriage, which I can treat as 0/Basic due to the Owner trait.

2. Deck Upgrades:
Spell 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 319 Life Drain
Ally 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 11 Eando Kline (Replaces Lookout)
Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 938 Abadar (Replaces Elements)
If I don't get Life Drain, will fill spell hole with Acid Jet.

3. Supporter: Ketrik

4. Con boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 3 I thought the con was over?

Convention isn't over until mid-November.

6-2A Results (so far):

Skizza: Power Feat; Upgrade - Blessing 1; Supporter - Ketrik; no boon
Varian: Card Feat (Item); Upgrade - Spell 1; Supporter - Ketrik; no boon
Varril: Power Feat; Upgrade - Spell 1; Supporter - Moise; no boon
Lem: Hero Point banked; Upgrade _ Blessing 2; Supporter - Boors; no boon
Brielle: ??? Feat; Upgrade - ???; Supporter ???; no boon

Varril will drop Cure in order to take on Weapon of Awe.

Awwwwwww......

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Upgrade deck:
1. Blessing 1 1d1000 ⇒ 888 Blessing of Kofusachi
2. Ally 1. Everyone took their pick and blessing 1 is left so no point in rolling.
3. Blessing 2, I would have picked that, but Lem is only interested, so I’ll let him take it.

Hero point: Charisma +1. With all the diplomacy (well I think in Brielle case, it is more intimidation) in the previous scenario, that makes sense.

Supporter: Ketrik

6-2A Final Results:

Skizza: Power Feat; Upgrade - Blessing 1; Supporter - Ketrik; no boon
Varian: Card Feat (Item); Upgrade - Spell 1; Supporter - Ketrik; no boon
Varril: Power Feat; Upgrade - Spell 1; Supporter - Moise; no boon
Lem: Hero Point banked; Upgrade _ Blessing 2; Supporter - Boors; no boon
Brielle: Skill Feat (CHA); Upgrade - Blessing 1; Supporter Ketrik; no boon

6-2B: Things to Do:

1.) Tell me what you'd like to do with your Hero Point. Lem, you have Tiered up to Tier 3! Congratulations!

2.) Roll for your upgrade (a much better loot list this scenario!)

Potential Upgrades:

1.) Varril will add a Wisdom point (Skill feat) with his Hero Point.

2.) Here's what Varril would like. Please note that I'm willing to have a conversation about anything - these are simply what I'm interested in based on what is available.

a.) Item 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 126
b.) Spell 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 250
c.) Weapon 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 351
d.) Blessing 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 1000

3.) Varril will recruit Boors.

6-2B: Spoiled Victuals - Skizza Rewards

Tier Progression: (2.2) Skizza gains a Hero Point.
Skizza expends the Hero Point on a Skill Feat, and checks off...
Dexterity d10 ☑ +1 ☐ +2 ☐ +3 ☐ +4

Skizza expended a Hero Point during the scenario.
Skizza now has 0 remaining Hero Points.

Scenario Reward: Skizza will rally Moise.

Skizza's Deck Upgrade preferences are as follows...

I’ve got a real life convention this weekend on Sat and Sun. My posting will be absent until Monday, most likely.

Cheers.

Hero Point: Skill: Int +2

Scenario Reward: Moise.

Upgrades:
Weapon 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 370 Hrym
Blessing 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 410 Maat
Spell 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 600 Aqueous Orb
Item 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 820 Harrow Deck
Spell 0: 1d1000 ⇒ 845 Fiery Glare

Ditto to the others' comments about being open to discuss.

Lem's xp brings him to tier 2, 6 xp, so he must tier up to 3.0. However, I think this doesn't happen until *after* expending hero points and choosing upgrades. Let me know if this is incorrect and I'll revise the choices below.

Lem will save his Hero Point, bring him to 5 total.

Scenario Reward: rally Ketrik

Deck Upgrade preferences:

Weapon 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 14
Weapon 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 877
Spell 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 512
Item 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 717

As with the others, I'm happy to defer to others for cards they especially want.

Scenario reward: rally Moise

Deck Upgrades preferences:

1. no one seems interested in armor 2, so I’ll grab it.

I don’t think any of those will be left over:
- weaponn 2 would have been improved greatclub
- item 2 Gem of Mental Acuity or maybe Skyrockets
- blessing 2

Hero point: going with card feat. Going to increase ally by 1 and grab a basic ally 0.

[ooc]I'm reconsidering Varril's feat - he's taking a Card Feat (Spell) instead of the Skill Feat. I've reflected that below.

6-2B Final Results:

Skizza: Skill Feat (DEX); Upgrade - Item 2; Supporter - Moise
Varian: Skill Feat (INT); Upgrade - Weapon 2; Supporter - Moise
Varril: Card Feat (Spell); Upgrade - Spell 2; Supporter - Boors
Lem: Hero Point banked; Tier Up (3); Upgrade - Weapon 2; Supporter - Ketrik
Brielle: Card Feat (Ally); Upgrade - Armor 2; Supporter Moise

That leaves a Blessing 2 on the table for Skizza to grab!

Varril is taking Object Reading as his new Spell card. I'm making Varril into our forward scout, it would seem.

Hrym replaces Varian's Rapier.

Lem replaces Light Crossbow with Mind's Eye Blade

I will apply one copy of the Stick with Me! player boon (PACG Gameday VIII - Convention Boon) to Skizza. The official boon reward sheets haven't been emailed out yet, but the BR can confirm that I've won a total of 2 copies on tables reported on the Gameday VIII reporting spreadsheet.

□ □ □ Stick with Me!: On your check during recovery, check a box that precedes this reward to add 1d6.

(thumbs up)

Just as an aside, I am thankful for each and every one of you. Thanks for making my PbP gaming experience AWESOME!
