Currently playing 5-5D: A ROYAL REQUEST on Man's Promise
RULES: SHIPS:
A ship is a support card. It is neither a bane nor a boon.
In some scenarios, a ship may be anchored at a specific location.
Commanding
If the ship is not anchored: you are commanding the ship on your turn.
If the ship is anchored: you also have to be at the ship’s location.
Any characters at the commander’s location are also on the ship.
If the commander moves or is moved, and the ship is not anchored or wrecked, any characters at the old location may also move to the new location.
Encountering
Only the commander can encounter another ship. (If a ship would be encountered by someone else, banish it instead.)
If the encountered ship is undefeated, it deals Structural damage instead of Combat damage.
Structural Damage
Structural damage is dealt to the ship, rather than to a character.
Any characters may discard any number of cards to prevent that much Structural damage.
If an intact ship takes any Structural damage, it becomes wrecked.
If a wrecked ship takes Structural damage, discard that many cards from the Blessing deck.
Repairing
At the start of the move step, the commander may attempt to repair a wrecked ship.
If successful, the ship is no longer wrecked.
Seizing
When you seize a ship, record the seized ship on your Chronicle Sheet. At the start of a scenario, you may cross off a ship you have seized to use that ship instead. (This is different in SoTT than in S&S)
A seized ship replaces your current ship, which is banished. (The new ship keeps any plunder and anchoring of the old ship.)
Plunder
At the start of the scenario, stash a plunder.
If you defeat another ship, stash a plunder.
Wrecked ships cannot gain plunder.
At the end of the turn, banish 1 random plunder from a wrecked ship.
If you win the scenario, add the plunder to the acquired cards.

To Defeat:

Ally 2:1d1000 ⇒ 35: Sorrowsoul
Item 2:1d1000 ⇒ 899: Candle of Comity
Armor 2:1d1000 ⇒ 740: Arrow Catching Studded Leather
Will grab Blessing of Asmodeous if I don't get the B2 upgrade.
I'm happy taking either or both of the new loot allies, they are fun, but will again cede them to others who may be more interested.
Spend hero point on power feat:
Power Feat (2): When you encounter a monster, if there is another local character, you may discard a card to evade; another local character encounters the card. ([X] Add 1d4 to checks to defeat the card during the rest of the encounter.)
3rd xp at tier 2. Take skill feat: Dex. I am probably the best candidate for Brine's Sting, as it stacks well with my Finesse and Swashbuckling powers. Happy to roll for it or switch off if somebody else is strongly interested in it.
Spend hero point on Card Feat (2): Spell (7).
1 Hero point remaining in the bank.
Spell 2:1d1000 ⇒ 325
With 3 Spell 2 upgrades to choose from, I'll presume that gets me one and will use it to fill the new empty Spell slot with: Aqueous Orb
