[Gameday IX] [PACS] 6-99 Tyrant of the Harrow by Rhynn Davrie (Inactive)

Game Master Rhynn Davrie

Usually I'll collect upgrades and HP spend over here to keep it separate from the game.

Alase, checking in!

Summoner CD + Ultimate Intrigue
PFS#: 195092-1002
Tier 4 with 0XP.

I laughed when I saw you were bringing Alase. Alase and Raheli ready to conquer another special!

Witch CD + Ultimate Magic
Tier 4 with 0XP
(basically no tier 3 or 4 upgrades so that will be exciting)

Hi everyone. Also Tier 4 with no XP. Using Oracle + UC.

Ramexes is packing Cure + Major Cure, so can help with healing duties. Also an Embiggen for good times. :)

Ramexes likes to kill stuff, because it lets him examine locations.

Excellent, I played a Ramexes through Season of the Runelords and found him to be great fun! I'd have to check my chronicle, but think I played the same role because of the awesome examine powers.

I have Cure as well, but I'd need to switch out my animal companion to utilize it well. I've had good luck passing it over to Divine characters in the past, so I'll probably stick with that plan.

Sounds good. I'll be sure to start at Raheli's location in case the Cure appears in your starting hand.

Hi! I'm playing a WotR Fire Element Master Seoni (Sorcerer + UM). I played this adventure at Tier 4 during PaizoCon, so I will not be playing for tier advancement here.

Note that I'll typically want certain cards to be in my discards, because I can draw from there. So whoever winds up casting those Cure spells, please check my notes section before curing me. :) I'll keep something there about whether it's okay/not okay to heal.

I'm in Central-US, but I'll post throughout the day. For my own enjoyment, I typically like to include in-character flavor in my gameplay posts, but please don't feel pressure to do likewise, though- use as much or as little flavor as you like.

Somewhat random question, are people ok with google hangouts for turn prompts and quick discussion questions? I know some players are making the switch to discord, but I have a lot less knowledge on setting that up, so I've been sticking with google. Happy to overcome my knowledge deficiency if people prefer one of over the other though.

I'm still probably 70/30 Hangouts vs Discord at this point. I still generally prefer Hangouts, but I'm fine with either.

Also fine with either.

Also slight preference for hangouts, and also fine with whichever.

Awesome, hangout it is then. PM sent to you all with a link for joining.

6-99A: The Theater-acquired cards

When choosing deck upgrades, treat Harrow blessings as level #.

Aid (Spell 0)
Fly (Spell 2)

Liquid Courage (Item 2)

Card Caster (Ally 0)

The Tangled Briar (Blessing 1)
The Idiot (Blessing 1)
The Cyclone (Blessing 1)
The Winged Serpent (Blessing 1)
The Unicorn (Blessing 1)
The Theater (Blessing 1)
The Paladin (Blessing 1)
The Liar (Blessing 1)
The Beating (Blessing 1)

Two upgrades as a scenario reward. Also a HP if this is your first time for this character, so let me know how you are spending them.

Ooh nice blessing reward! They all count as 4s.

6-99A:
Tier 4, 1 XP
Power feat: ([X] or shuffle it into your deck)
(No hero points spent, 3 hero points remaining)

Blessing 4: 1d1000 ⇒ 936 Blessing of the Savored Sting
Blessing 4: 1d1000 ⇒ 637 Blessing of Nethys

This is a replay without advancement for Seoni, so no hero point or bonus upgrade.

I’m toying with the idea of downgrading to another Blessing B of the Spellbound, but going to sleep on it. No interest in any other upgrade.

Oh, I like that format, especially the hero point spend.

6-99A:
Tier 4, 1 XP
Power feat: ■ When you suffer Combat (□ or any) damage, you may discard a spell or an item to reduce it to 0.
(No hero points spent, 3 hero points remaining)

Upgrade: Blessing 4, Blessing 4

Blessing of Pharasma > Blessing of the Savored Sting
Blessing of Sivanah > Blessing of the Seventh Veil

6-99A Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 19 So close!!

Spending hero point on blessing card feat.

Taking two Blessing 4 upgrades: one for new card (Lord in Iron), one for Blessing of the Gods (Drunken Hero).

Boone's Farm?: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Apparently we're just going down in sequence. :)

It feels wrong to replace out my Pharasma blessing, but at the moment the recharge (discard) singlebless feels more useful than a discard (bury) doublebless. So I will take a downgrade Blessing B of the Spellbound.
6-99A reward: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Nope.

Replay of 6-99A for boons:

Belt of Physical Prowess (Item 2)
The Unveiling (Item 2)

Fate-reader Lenses (Item 3)

Card Caster (Ally 0)

Ally 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 504 - Social Climber (taking as ally 1)

Ally 4: 1d1000 ⇒ 283 Bound Shadow Demon

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 16 Nope.

Passing on upgrades, I think. Don't think I want an Ally 3 or Item 3 until I get more feats.

6-99A replay: 1d20 ⇒ 12
Nope

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Looks like I'm getting an Ally 3, regardless of other rolls and interests.

Raheli will happily take an Item 3, worth replaying for that alone!

Ally 2: 1d1000 ⇒ 292 - Social Climber (taken as Ally 1)

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 19

I've got first picks down as:

Alase - Spell 4
Raheli - Spell 4
Seoni - Spell 3
Ramexes - Ally 4

Not sure if Alase was interested in the Ally 3, I'm good with going with the rolls and that looks like Ramexes currently.

Just the Spell 4 for me, thanks.

Raheli takes Ally 3 for second pick.

Raheli swapped Augury for Summon Hellhounds and Bound Elemental for Vampire Bat.

Card upgrades:

Ally 3: 1d1000 ⇒ 696
Blessing 4: 1d1000 ⇒ 752

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Will pull a spell 4 from box for upgrade (Scrying).

Seoni will pass again on upgrades. (A little tempted to turn Binder's Tome into Headband of Alluring Charisma, but I think I'll wait a little longer.)

6-99C reward: 1d20 ⇒ 18
Nope.

6-99C:
Tier 4, 3 XP

(No hero points spent, 3 hero points remaining)

Raheli will take Item 4 for her any card upgrade.

Also Raheli will spend 3xp to rank up to 5.

Tier up to level 5, 0 XP
Skill Feat: Charisma +4
(No hero points spent, 3 hero points remaining)

Spell 3 deck upgrade for Create Spiked Pit.

Raheli - Item 4, Ally 4

Alright, guys, I think we are good here. Thanks for joining me. If there is anything additional you need, please let me know and I'll get it wrapped up.

I'll plan on archiving this thread in the next couple days.

It's been fun!!

The special was great. Thanks for hosting, and thanks to everyone else for playing!

Thanks, Rhynn!

Yes, thanks everyone! This was just as much fun the second time through. And double thanks to Rhynn- you ran that so smoothly that I genuinely didn't realize until the end of Scenario A that you were both box runner and player.

Haha! Well thanks, glad it felt that way. I will admit I felt like a bit of a slacker a couple of times so glad it didn't come across that way.
