Below I've listed out the possible checks we have to play with and bolded what makes the most sense to me.
Combat 19: Merisiel (I have none of the skills listed)
Arcane 11: Crowe 1d8 + 6 + 1d6 (assuming Crowe picks Charisma for Knights. And Crowe can bury for an additional 1d10) or Erasmus Balsamo 1d8 + 4 + 1d4 + 2
Diplomacy 11: Kess 1d8 + 1 + 1d6
Knowledge 11: Erasmus Balsamo 1d8 + 1d4 + 2 or Mother Myrtle 1d8 + 2 (+1d6 if she picks Intelligence Medal)
Divine 11: Mother Myrtle d12 + 5 + 1d4 + 1d6 or Erasmus Veldira 1d6 + 2 + 1d4 + 2 + 1d6
Perception 11: Erasmus Veldira 1d6 + 5 + 1d4 + 2 + 1d6 (without Veldira 72%; with bury 97%. with Veldiria 99%)
Diplomacy is still a weak spot.
The decision for Erasmus to bring Veldira or not is going to be a balance between the risk of burying against armies or having the strength to fight other enemies. Either way is fine.
Any kind of support we can hold onto for these checks will be important, particularly for Diplomacy, so if you have cards that can help, handing them off to Kess would not be a bad thing.
If Merisiel has Quick-Change Mask in hand: She can take a Knowledge check and use Stealth instead with a d12+7+1d6 base.
If Merisiel has Blessing of Asmodeus in hand, she can let someone take her Combat and Bury her hand to auto-succeed a check.
In general we will probably want to lead with Diplomacy to see if we can hit those numbers and probably leave the Combat and Arcane to the end.
Was checking on something else, and I happened to randomly notice that Loot Item Sacred Prism was apparently revised so that it would now work with Mother Myrtle’s Knowledge recharge ability.
My thinking, Mother Myrtle can go any time.
Kess should take the Combat check.
I'll bless Crowe's Arcane to bump it up 96%, then I'll Asmodeus the Knowledge check! I'll do my check last.
Rewards are up! Decide on upgrades, roll your d20, swim like Scrooge McDuck through your stash of Hero Points, discuss cohorts. Then when you're ready, choose your starting location and draw your opening hand. Reminder that we're now in Adventure 3, so you'll each start with 3 mythic charges.
Upgrade Preferences Armor 2:1d1000 ⇒ 428 Item 2:1d1000 ⇒ 834 Ally 2:1d1000 ⇒ 922But will step aside for an actual Ally 2, as this is for an Ally 1 Blessing 1:1d1 ⇒ 1
Rewards
Adding 4 Hero Points and a Righteous Medal of Clarity
Rewards:
4 Hero points gained. 1 was used during the scenario. Total hero points going into the next scenario: 6.
Tier up to tier 3.0
Knights of Kenabres: Charisma medal.
Upgrades:
Spell 1:1d1000 ⇒ 116Replace Force Missile with Detect Thoughts Blessing 1:1d1000 ⇒ 629Replace Blessing of the Elements with Sign of the Stranger Item 2:1d1000 ⇒ 886Replace Blue Star with Wintervine (Item 1)
Of note, my Boots of Friendly Terrain are the pre-Core version as there's no point in cards that work differently at location with different traits pre-Core.
Taking the Reanimator role. Spending my hero point on the first power feat of "☐ When a character at your location defeats a monster, you may draw an ally (☐ or a spell or an item) from your discard pile (☐ or deck, then shuffle your deck)."
Rewards are up! Decide on your feats (and perhaps role!), discuss upgrades and loot, and roll your d20s. The cohorts are the same as last scenario, so unless anyone objects, I'll assume everyone is keeping the same. Then when you are ready, choose starting locations and draw opening hands.
Note that the henchman in the next scenario has a significant typo on it. I've asked to get it corrected, but it may not go through before someone encounters it. So be aware that its second power should read: "If undefeated, summon and encounter the villain Ommors. If Ommors is defeated, this barrier is undefeateddefeated." (I do have it correct in the updates header.)
Disregard my note above about the henchman wording. Hawkmoon was able to fix it, so now all copies do have the correct wording.
Also, reminder that you start the scenario with # mythic charges. And if you have more than # mythic charges when you reset, you have to drop down to #.
Rewards are up! Decide on your feats, discuss upgrades and loot, and roll your d20s. Then when you are ready, choose starting locations and draw opening hands. Same cohorts again this scenario.
Note that the henchmen in this scenario are non-closing unless you discard a card when you defeat them.
Erasmus banished Leshykineticist during the last scenario (Ally 1). Since we are tier 3 I think I can just freely replace it with the same card, right? If so, that is what I'll do.
Spend hero point on card feat: Ally. Fill new ally slot with Vine Leshy (Ally 0). 6 hero points remaining.
Upgrades:
Spell 3:1d1000 ⇒ 245Replace Detect Thoughts with Call Spirit
The upcoming scenario henchman is going to be AWFUL for Kess, so she’ll spend her Hero Point on a skill feat in Dexterity.
I’ll take the Armor 3 upgrade. No point on rolling for it. Got my eye on that Steel Ibis Lamellar mail. Good-bye Helm of the Valkyrie. I also need to replace my banished Master Cartman. Hello, Old Salt.
No interest in Fiendsplitter. I’ll return Scale of Disguise to my hand (adios, Boots of Friendly Terrain (for now)). Lastly, I will again use Captain Oparal as a cohort.
We should use our start of turn examines to toss as many banes out of the Abattoir as possible, since cards being at that location increases their difficulties by 5.
If we know where Undarin Patrols are through examines or through burning down a lot of the location, leave them to me when you can as I auto-defeat them with no resources used.
Also we should keep our eyes out for Corrupted things as the Sanctum requires it for closing.
Rewards are up! The loot is a little more convoluted than usual, so let me know if any questions. (Basically, the party only can use 1 of the 3 at a time, but each character gets to choose which specific 1 they are eligible to take.)
Decide on your feats, discuss upgrades and loot, and roll your d20s. Then when you are ready, choose starting locations and draw opening hands. Note that you only start with 2 of the cohorts this scenario.
Loot: Swallowtail Bracers but not going to actually use it.
Hero Point: spend on Skill Feat #4 (Charisma, which is now +2). I used 2 hero points during this past scenario, so my current balance is now 4 hero points.
Boon....:1d20 ⇒ 14
Upgrade:
Item 3:1d1000 ⇒ 417Replace Blue Star with Bloody Mandrake Item 2:1d1000 ⇒ 812Replace Blue Star with Wintervine (which is actually an Item 1)
Next scenario intro is up! Lots of unusual rules this scenario to be aware of, so please ask if anything's unclear. In particular, note the d4s at start and end of every turn.
When you're ready, choose your starting location from the 2 initial options. You will typically only have 2 locations available for most of this scenario, although I've prebuilt them all for convenience. You can roll to see which gets built when necessary. (But of course please feel free to request an update at any point that you'd like.)
Other reminders:
There are 2 henchman this scenario. One is non-closing. The other is being used as a villain (escapes if undefeated, location autocloses when defeated, etc).
Mythic banes will begin appearing more often, both as story banes and as regular banes. Whoever defeats a Mythic bane gets a free mythic charge. (For example, each time you defeat Shamira this scenario.) Also, since we are in Adventure 4 now, your starting/max charges is now 4.
And correct, Outpost IV is over, so no more d20 rolls.
Reward spoilers re Corrupted cards:

Choosing NOT to redeem Black Robe. There are times a Corrupted Card is helpful to bring in.
Just in case it matters, you will get some Corrupted blessings loot as rewards for a couple scenarios early this adventure.
So, re the reward about Corrupted cards, are you saying that we can "save" the reward for now and then possibly use it later if we get some other corrupted card as a loot reward? If so, I'll do that, since I have no particular use for Black Robe now or anytime soon (it's actually a good card for me, but my hand size is too small and I'm privileging my plants).
Re the scenario power about drawing 1d4 cards at Start of Turn, I believe I can choose (every turn) whether I want do that before or after Erasmus' power of recharging all cards of a given type, since that is also Start of Turn. Correct?

Nope, the redemption has to happen immediately. (Sorry for the confusion.)
Reward spoilers re Corrupted cards:
There are some upcoming Corrupted loot blessings (1 blessing per player for 4B, 2 blessings per party for 4C) which will never be eligible for redemption, since blessings aren't options on the WotR Redemption card. In case that access to Corrupted boons mattered.

Yep, you can decide each turn how you'd like to order the start-of-turn powers.
Looks like everyone who wanted gets their first choice of upgrade. So just need starting locations/hands from Kess, Mother Myrtle, and Merisiel and we can get started!

So there's really no reason NOT to redeem Black Robe now. Since it's the only eligible card we currently have access to. Right?
Yep.
Reward spoilers re Corrupted cards:
I think in this Adventure Path there’s always a Redemption reward within a few scenario of a redeemable loot reward. IIRC, there was never a point where there was a real choice about what to redeem.
Hey y'all, PaizoCon is this week, and I'm running a bunch of games starting this Friday. As of 24hrs after this post, I will ask to be made dormant until after the convention.
