Thanks and right back atcha!

I'd like to prepare our group for my upcoming trip and likely temporary absence from our game. I'll be headed out on our family holiday trip next Wednesday 11 December, and won't return home until 2 January 2020.
My internet connectivity will be OK, but my ability to post will be crimped. I think it'd be best if we suspend this game until January, but I'm super keen to finish this scenario.
I wish you all a safe and peaceful holiday season full of natural 20s.
Cheers,
Dink
Happy travels!
Suspending the game is fine for me.
Just as an aside, I am thankful for each and every one of you. Thanks for making my PbP gaming experience AWESOME!
I took the time the other day to read everyone’s description of their turn and was really impressed. I’m hoping to improve to the levels you all manage to get.
This is one aspect I like about playing the ACG online.Concerning taking a break for the end of the year, I’m fine with it. I think we’ll run out of scenario at our current rate anyway, that might allow Paizo to catch up :-)
Works for me too! I've been a bit stressed for time, so this may even help me.
I've had a great experience playing; thank you all!
Lem will spend his hero point on a Skill Feat: +1 CHA (bringing him to CHA +3).
For card upgrades, Lem would actually prefer one of the Ally 2 cards over the Spell 2. Assuming that someone else would probably like the Spell 2 (Varian or Varril?)...

2.) Roll for your upgrades:
Flensing Jelly (Ally 2)
Naval Hero (Ally 2)
Bound Imp (Ally 1)
Burglar (Ally 0)
Gang Enforcer (Ally 1)
Teamster (Ally 0)
Merchant (Ally 0)
Klar (Armor 0)
Magic Hide Armor (Armor 1)
Calistria's Sting (Blessing 1)
Urgathoa's Gluttony (Blessing 2)

White War Paint (Item 2)
Holy Water (Item 0)
Wand of Force Missile (Item 1)
Locate Object (Spell 1)
Vampiric Touch (Spell 2)
Lightning Bolt (Spell 2)
Lucky Starknife (Weapon 2)
Shock Glaive (Weapon 2)
3.) Let me know if you're interested in some loot.
4.) Prepare for a holiday break as I leave town in a few hours for 3 weeks.
Cheers!
1. Use hero point to gain a power feat, increasing hand size to 6.
2. Deck Upgrade:
Many choices there, Brielle can go for Weapon 2, Blessing 2, or Item 2.
Weapon 2 would be Improvised Greatclub instead of Longsword.
Blessing 2 would be either be Blessing of Gozreh or Abadar instead of botg.
Item 2 would be either Gem of Mental Acuity, or Firesticks.
3. Brielle is not interested, she can’t use those as weapons. Maybe interested in Antiplague if she gets the ability to use Melee instead of Craft.
4. Have nice holidays!
No interest in any of the loot for Lem either.
Hope you have a great vacation!
Posting this now just so I don't have to remember it:
(Assuming that Lem winds up with one of the two Ally 2 upgrades) Lem replaces Dilettante with Cleric of Nethys.
6-2C: The Plight of the Many - Skizza Rewards
Tier Progression: (2.3) Skizza gains a Hero Point.
Skizza expends the Hero Point on a Card Feat, and checks off...
ALLY 2 [X] 3 [X] 4
Skizza fills the new ally slot with Porcupine (Core) (Ultimate Wilderness, Basic Ally)[/i].
Skizza still has 0 remaining Hero Points.
Scenario Reward: There's an alchemical reward? Sweet... though it's not exactly an amazing one. Even so, at least it's a display-and-forget item, which I quite like.
Skizza has interest in the Antiplague loot card.
The Plaguebringer's Mask is pretty good for Varian or Lem in my opinion, though, since they have a large hand size to make use of the very strong "Reload to add 1d8 to your combat check" power.
Skizza's Deck Upgrade preferences are as follows...
I may mark off another use of my Treasure Hunter boon reward to take an extra deck upgrade, depending on what's leftover.
Good point. Lem will take the Plaguebringer's Mask (unless Varian or someone else wants it), swapping out Wand of Detect Magic for it.

I’ve noticed that only one person has actually rolled for boon selection so far. There are two Ally 2s. All three of the people who have posted regarding upgrades have listed it as something that they’re interested in.
Let me be clear: if you haven’t rolled for it by the time we are ready to restart this campaign, then your effective number on the d1000 for that boon upgrade is zero for purposes of determining who gets it.
So, Lem and Brielle can roll for the Ally 2 or not, but no assumptions will be made by me.
1. Use hero point to gain a power feat, increasing urban support to 1d4 + 1.
2. Deck Upgrade:
Object Reading
Gozreh
Roderick
3. Would be interested in Antiplague followed by Plague Mask.
4. Happy break!
BR, I think perhaps you missed Lem's rolls for upgrades upthread (on Dec. 9)? I'm always a bit confused about how these rolls get parsed. Since my first choice is an Ally 2, and there are two Ally 2 cards, I rolled twice, one for each card, and then as a third choice rolled for an Item 2. However, perhaps that's not how these roll-offs get resolved? Maybe I should have just rolled for an Ally 2 once, and then compare that with everyone else who has Ally 2 as their first choice, until 2 Ally 2 cards have been allotted? Either way, with a first roll of 734, and 2 Ally 2 cards available, Lem should have a fairly good chance.
In any case, I don't believe you need anything else from Lem right now. To reiterate the posts above:
1) Spend Hero Point for skill feat (+1 to CHA). (This leaves Lem with 5 Hero Points in reserve).
2) Upgrade choices - the rolls I made upthread were:
Ally 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 734
Ally 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 876
Item 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 31
3) Loot: Lem is interested in Plaguebringer's Mask (and would swap out Wand of Detect Magic for it), but will also defer if there are others who would also like it.
4) Hope you are enjoying a nice holiday!

Yup, Lem, I missed your rolls. You had posted them just before my 6-2C summary post in this thread.
I think you want to fill one slot, so you should only roll for each unique type of boon once. If this were a multiple upgrade type of scenario reward, then rolling twice for each unique boon upgrade I think is the right way to go.
6-2C results so far:
Brielle, you’ll need to tell me what upgrade you want. All of your desires are on the table. Skizza, you also have a wealth of choice for a second upgrade with the Treasure Hunter boon.
Hey all, Happy New Year!
I was waiting on Brielle's card choice to know what was available for my second upgrade, but I can at least narrow it down to two (which are just taken wholesale from my list earlier).
Skizza will mark off the second use of one of his Treasure Hunter Boon rewards to take an additional Deck Upgrade, and will take the following (in order of preference/whichever remains available after Brielle's Deck Upgrade)....
Brielle goes for Weapon 2.
|
|
6-2C results:
Skizza: Card Feat (Ally), Ally 2 upgrade, bonus Item 2 upgrade, Loot: Antiplague
Varian: Power Feat, Spell 2 upgrade, Loot: Plague Mask
Varril: Skill Feat (Wisdom), Weapon 2 upgrade, Loot: None
Lem: Skill Feat (Charisma), Ally 2 upgrade, Loot: Plaguebringer’s Mask
Brielle: Power Feat, Weapon 2 upgrade, Loot: none
On to the next scenario! Brielle will be starting it.
Object Reading replaces Detect Magic.
Because I prepared my starting hand before working out my second deck upgrade (and the hiatus we were on over the holidays), I completely missed the fact that I switched out Flare Shot for Antiplague during this scenario, but Flare Shot isn't even in my deck anymore due to my bonus deck upgrade replacing it.
In the interest of fairness, I'll simply keep Antiplague out of my deck for the remainder of the scenario, since I'd never entered it into my Deck Handler anyway. (In practice, I may or may not have replaced Thieves' Tools with it.)

Tier Progression: (2.4) Skizza gains a Hero Point.
Skizza saves the Hero Point (he's already at his feat caps).

Things to do after 6-3A:
1.) Spend your Hero Point.
2.) Choose your deck upgrade.
Craftsman (Ally 1)
Ruan Mirukova (Ally 3)
Impervious Chain Shirt (Armor 3)
Corpse Plate (Armor 3)
Shelyn's Song (Blessing 1)
Benefaction (Blessing 0)
Lamashtu's Madness (Blessing 2)
The Mute Hag (Blessing 1)
Circlet of Mental Acuity (Item 2)
Wand of Acid Burst (Item 1)
Magical Mansion (Spell 3)
Wyrmsmite (Weapon 3)
Seeking Longbow (Weapon 3)
3.) Let me know if you want to make use of any loot.
Prepare for doom...
1. Lem will spend his Hero Point on a Power Feat. This is his 3rd Power Feat, so he gains his Role Card and chooses Tent Preacher. For the actual power he chooses "When you play a blessing on a non-combat Wisdom or Charisma check, you may add a d12 in place of the normal die." After spending 2 Hero Points on rerolls during the last scenario, he now has 3 Hero Points saved.
2. Upgrades in order of preference:
If neither of those pan out then Lem will need to reconsider - he doesn't have a lot of good options outside those two categories.
3. Loot: Lem still has Plaguebearer's Mask and is happy to keep holding it unless someone else wants it. I don't think there's any other loot that Lem wants at present.
Hero Point: Power Feat: Recharge 2 spells at EoT. Also choose Role Card: Acadamae Graduate (even though power feat was from my character card, I think I need to still pick a role at this point, right?
Upgrades:
Acadamae Scholar
Shadowless sword
Swipe
I will also be replacing Ultimate Intrigue with 2 Adventure Packs: Arcane and Occult. I will process this after upgrades are decided, and look again at loot once I have my new deck set up.
