Woot! Good job everyone! Thanks for a great campaign!
When we started (I can't believe that was almost 2 years ago!) this was my first long-term PBP experience and Darago was my first long-term PBP character. It's kind of bittersweet now that its over.

After Qualzar's rescue in the depths of the Ulunat and the insect's subsequent forceful ejection of the mages, Darago comes back to consciousness surrounded by flames. He doesn't have time to think of a graceful solution, but fire can't survive without something to burn. Play Disintegrate to defeat Conflagration (obstacle trait)
Darago can sense the magic thickening in the air and radiating out from the Tooth and Hookah, a sure sign of Estra taking precautions to ensure her success where his rashness led to failure. He vows to help her out anywhere he can: from the inside, for example. Move to Festering Ulunat
Darago opens up a interdimensional door into the Ulunat (a trick he learned from Qualzar) and unleashes gyesers of magma on the Card 1:Guardian Thunderbirds within!

"Talk about heartburn! Am I right?! Ha ha!" Suddenly, a wave of disgust washes over Darago. Did he really just say that? He's been spending too much time with Qualzar...

On Skizza's turn, discard the top card of my deck to save Marianix again
Bury Iceblade Spelldagger and Hand of Glory to keep the hour
It quickly becomes clear that its going to take multiple assaults to take down the Ulunat. And with Skizza and Lini being gravely wounded, Estra desperately trying to evacuate the citizens and Qualzar... being the way he is... It looks like Darago is their best bet. Darago refreshes his best spells and heads to the Smoking Den to face off with the beetle. Recharge Magnetic Grimoire to draw Icy Prison from my discards. Lini and Skizza may attempt to guard their locations. Auto-Fail the BA check.
Ulunat Fight:
Combat Damage:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4Reveal Gravewatcher Chainmail to reduce damage by 3. Discard Blessing of Abadar as the last damage
Ulunat's rampage surrounds him in a whirling sandstorm composed of the remains of Sothis. Luckily Darago's borrowed armor protects him from the worst of the storm. Darago poises himself to immobilize the gargantuan beetle in a prison of solid ice. For the first combat, play Icy Prison to use Arcane+4d6. Discard Death's Touch for the irreducible mental damage. Reveal Headband and Mask for +4 total. Discard Blessing if Isis to add 2 dice.

I have 5 of them... Redux says I can't so I guess I'll just lose vs the Ulunat. I could use Skizza's rifle, but I need to roll a perfect 4 and still need to make the combat 50 afterwards, so IDK if it'll be worth burying it.
For the second combat check. For the 2nd combat check, fail it and take a ton of damage, which is then reduced to 0 by Icy Prison
Darago pumps all he has into the icy prison but it still isn't enough. With a deafening roar, the Ulunat breaks free, releasing a shockwave powerful enough to send Darago hurtling through the air. When he returns to consciousness, he has no idea where he is. I am shuffled into the Festering Ulunat. (Have I been swallowed by the beetle? Is the location supposed to represent its insides?)

His usual methods of remote surveillance failing him, Darago is forced to personally search the Golden Lake for any evacuees and opportunistic opponents.
Random Card:1d9 ⇒ 5
All the devastation has attracted the attention of Ammut, ready to devour the souls of those judged impure. Which is a problem; Darago is still using those... Everyone at the location takes 1d4 Fire Damage

For the combat, play Icy Prison to use Arcane+4d6. Reveal Magnetic Grimoire for +1d3
Darago sends Shivers the Fox out to search the lake while he gives the Ammut a lesson in irony. Draw Ammut. Discard Fox to explore again. I add 1d4 to my INT/WIS checks
Random Card:1d9 ⇒ 9
Shivers comes back holding a desiccated Hand of Glory.
Arcane 11:1d10 + 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (10) + (2) + 6 = 18
If anything, it saves him the trouble of mummifying one himself. He thanks Shivers who promptly darts back towards the lake. Use power to immediately explore again.
Random Card:1d8 ⇒ 7
Shivers brings back a holy symbol containing the Blessing of Pharasma. She and Darago aren't necessarily on good terms, but they'll need all the help they can get. Shivers brings back one last haul: a wounded, emaciated gnome. Lini?!?
Play Game of Afterlife to remove one of Lini's Curses
Darago uses what little curative magic he's capable of to make her more comfortable and prays that he doesn't need to use his actual area of expertise on her.

Darago pumps necromantic energy into the Conflagration at the Golden Lake, forming it into a large serpent, and tries to convince it to go away. Play Fire Snake to use my Arcane on the Conflagration
Arcane 9:1d10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
The snake seems to understand; it bows its head and leaves for somewhere less important in the open desert. Darago moves to help finish the evacuation at the Surgery. As he arrives, the sand whips up around him, so thick it practically forms a wall barring his entry. An Card 1:Aghash is near. For the combat, play Ice and Fire to use Arcane+2d8+3 and add Cold and Fire Discard Blessing of Master of Masters to add 2 dice
Darago combines his elemental knowledge to unleash a nova of superheated water, frying the Aghash and matting the sand together into useless clumps. For the close, Discard Blessing of the Seventh Veil to add 2 dice

Estra's turn was amazing! I can't imagine what it would be like to be across a physical table from you pulling something like that! Other tables would probably pause their games to watch it happen!
On Lini's turn, take damage from the Sard. Mist Horn and Safety Bubble reduce the damage
Hour is Curse of the Sphinx (everything is banes, so it doesn't do anything). Curse of Blindness makes me discard a card from the blessings deck, so I also suffer Qualzar's Curse of the Mummy

Darago's vision does dark and he crouches to the ground, not wanting to stumble off the edge of the pyramid and plummet all the way down to the desert below. Someone helps him to his feet and he graciously thanks them, but then he stops to think...

Deck Upgrade: I'll take one of the Spell 5s for Icy Prison
Loot: I'll keep Mask of the Forgotten Pharaoh and Game of Afterlife.
I can also take Elemental Treaty. Since there's only one location, It'll last us the entire scenario.
I'm not taking the Cartouche of Protection, so I should be keeping my Magnetic Grimoire/Binders Tome. Lini should be safe trading out the same one I keep.
This battle is tough, but Darago can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Play Bound Lantern Archon to examine top 3 cards of deck, rearrage and draw a card. Find Helm of Electric Radiance, Cloudburst, Scrying. Keep them in that order. Draw helm
Darago dons his helm for some meager protection before moving to the Hall of Winged Chaos. He doesn't even get a chance to begin mapping the place out before he's ambushed by one of the Card 1:Usji Ghuls. At least they're making tracking them down easy... Damage is automatically electricity
BYA alone damage:1d4 ⇒ 2Recharge Helm of Electric Radiance to reduce by 2 to 0
The outsider sends a stream of sparks at Darago! They bend through the air, attracted by his helm before they're absorbed and neutralized. Darago returns fire with his own volley. Play Ice and Fire to use Arcane+2d8+3 and add Cold and Fire. Reveal Headband for +1. Power adds 2d4.
AYA Electricity Damage:1d4 ⇒ 2Reveal Cartouche of Protection to reduce damage by 1. Discard Headband of Epic Intelligence as damage. Suffer curse of the mummy.
The ghul scores one last grazing shot before it goes down. Darago approaches the corpse and wishes that he had time to have a go-around before getting attacked so he could definitively know whether anything important was left at the location. Maybe the ghul knows their way around... Use power to add the Ghul to my hand.
I'm going to keep going. Ill probably lose the rest of my hand to the end of turn damage, so might as well get use out of it. Hopefully I get the boons...
As Darago enters, he immediately spots a shrine to Card 2:Abadar. He asks for a blessing. Discard Blessing of Master of Masters to explore again. Banish Ghul to add 1d4+1
Divine 5:2d4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 = 6
The altar begins exuding a strange mist: Card 3:Polymorph Gas! Discard Blessing of Abadar to explore again. Requesting Estra's Sign of the Newlyweds to add 1 die
INT 14:2d10 + 4 ⇒ (1, 7) + 4 = 12Hm. Failing this is actually kind of good since it lets me not discard the Cartouche end of turn. I already have curse of the mummy...
Its kind of hard to breathe, but this room seems to be exempt from the electric arcs coursing through the rest of the hall. Darago can hold his breath a little bit longer.
End of turn, take electric damage but my hand is empty and I already have Curse of The Mummy

For the Pharaoh's Altar, select Blessing. According to the Wiki, the only Blessing 6 is Blessing of Ptah
Darago snatches a holy symbol of Ptah off the altar. He's also tempted by a suit of Card 3:Parade ArmorDiscard Blessing of Isis to explore again
Fortitude 12:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
But not that much... As he peruses the altar, he's caught by a Card 4:Graven Guardian of Set that doesn't look to happy. Okay, maybe he was taking it a little further than some clandestine assistance... Discard Blessing of Ptah to explore again. For the combat, play Volcanic Storm to use Arcane+3d6.

Darago begins to explain himself when the guardian spits gouts of fire in his direction. If it wasn't for his Phoenix Cloak, he would definitely be in a world of hurt right now... Auto-Fail punching the Graven Guardian. Take tons of damage and display Pheonix cloak to reduce it to 0
Darago takes a step back to reconsider his life choices. It is uncomfortably hot.
End of Turn Damage, Auto Fire:1d4 ⇒ 4This is my punishment... Reveal Cartouche of Protection to reduce it by 1. Discard Ghost Battling Ring, Brilliance and Volcanic Storm as damage. Re-suffer Curse of the Mummy.

Darago moves to join Lini at the Forgery of Ra. He stumbles upon a Card 2:Pharaoh's Altar. Requesting Skizza's Blessing of Milani to add 2 dice to my DEX check
DEX 12:3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5) = 15Phew...
There are some offering left on the altar. Darago is fighting for the good of all of Orision; he figures a long-dead pharaoh wouldn't mind him taking some useful equipment...
Pausing momentarily to discuss what card type we want. Could we get a mid-scenario acquired cards update? Also, how far does this adventure go? Just to 6-E or do we have a capstone 6-F?
Darago does one last go-around of the Crypt, just in case they missed something. He finds an unwieldy Card 4:Icy Longspear +1 that he casts aside. A little while later, he comes across an altar celebrating the Card 5:Brilliance of Ra. He stops to pay tribute. Discard Blessing of the Seventh Veil to explore again, adding 1 to non-combat CHA/INT.

With the Sky Pharaoh's Throne secured much earlier than expected, Darago travels to the Crypt to help take care of any Undead problem they might run into.
He sees an altar to each of the elements and provides an offering for each of the bowls. Explore Card 1: Blessing of the Elements
INT 6:1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
As Darago finishes his offerings, he notices Shivers yipping and growling at the acid bowl. Could his offering not have been good enough? The elemental spirits of acid answer his question by pouring out of the offering bowl, ready to exact the Card 2:Furies of the Drowned Desert. Darago calls upon the other spirits to help appease them. Discard Fox to explore, adding 1d4 to INT/WIS. For the combat, Play Ice and Fire to use Arcane+2d8+3 and add Cold and Fire.
The other spirits talk them down and Darago is able to convince them to join his side. Use Power to draw Furies
Darago continues searching the crypt and finds a Card 3:Burglar's BucklerDiscard Blessing of the Elements to explore again
Fortitude 6:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
As Darago picks up the buckler, it sets off an alarm, alerting a Card 4Mummy Lord to his presence! The Mummy summons a Bonestorm and sends it in Darago's direction. Darago charges his hands with energy and gets ready to slap the storm out of the air! Free explore from acquiring Magic boon. For the combat vs the Bonestorm, Play Death's Grip to use Arcane+3d6+3. Location adds 9 to difficulty. Power adds 2d4 to check.
With the storm out of the way Darago and the Mummy can focus on each other. Darago figures that something made mostly of bones would probably like to keep those bones intact. For the combat vs the Mummy Lord, play Boneshatter to use Arcane+2d12. Location adds 9 to difficulty. Power adds 2d4 to check. Banish Furies of the Drowned Desert to add 1d4+1 to my check
The mummy is reduced to a quivering pile of bandages and desiccated flesh, but Darago does't care; that could still be useful. Use power to draw Mummy Lord
The duel attracts the attention of the Card 5:Usji Ghul set to guard this area. Convenient! Discard Blessing of Isis to explore again
Random Damage:1d6 ⇒ 6Fire
BA Alone Damage:1d4 ⇒ 2Discard Burglar's Buckler to reduce damage by 4 to 0
The Ghul makes itself known by spitting a gout of flame at Darago. He blocks it with his new shield before causing the ground to erupt beneath the Ghul. For the combat, play Volcanic Storm to use Arcane+3d6. Requesting Qualzar's Khai-Utef to add 2 dice. Banishing Mummy Lord to add 1d4+1. Location adds 9 to difficulty. Power adds 2d4 to check

Darago moves to the Garden of Symmetry to key in the combination there. He encounters a discarded Card 2:Alchemist's Suit partially buried in the sand. He digs it up and finds that it fits nicely. Auto succeed the checks to move and to acquire
Darago uses his magic to conjure the next elements in the sequence, supercharging his cloudburst with acid. The detonation leaves the garden with a faint glow, something he chooses to assume means he did it correctly. The fact that Sepid makes an appearance and attacks is also probably a good sign. At end of turn, recharge 2 spells (cloudburst and acid splash) to close. Summon and encounter Sepid. Auto-Fail the DEX check, bury (or put it into recovery) Alchemist's suit to reduce it to 0. For the combat, play Death's Touch to use Arcane+3d6+3. Attack trait makes me subtract 1 from each die.

A bright light draws Darago away from the garden. In its blinding radiance, Darago can swear he can just barely make out shapes. Before he's able to definitively figure out what they are, the light snuffs out and he finds himself in the Garden of Ossumentals.

"Those sound like terrible friends. Hop on the snake and chase them down!" Darago suggests, conjuring a flaming serpent large enough for all the captives to get on. Play Fire Snake to use Arcane. Power vs Undead gives me +2d4

Arcane 11:1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
He's pulled out of his conflict by someone screaming. He looks through the hole left by the fire snake and sees who appears to be a Card 4:Desert Trapper running around on fire. It looks like it hurts, but its a good proof of concept... Use power to immediately explore again. Play Eruption to use Arcane+3d8+2
Combat 13:1d10 + 3d8 + 8 ⇒ (10) + (8, 6, 4) + 8 = 36Use Create Undead power to add it to my hand
The trapper finally stops screaming and Darago commands them (or what's left, at least) to join him. They get about halfway there when a strange mist surrounds them and they begin to dissolve: a Card 5:Hungry Fog!Discard Blessing of Pharasma to explore again. Banish Desert Trapper to add 1d4+1
WIS 10:1d8 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + (3) + 1 = 10I'm honestly surprised I was able to do that...

Start of turn, guess Blessing at the Altar. Top card is Blessing of Ra. Cool!
Darago approaches the Altar of Riddles with most of his team.
"What is the strongest power in the world?"
Darago rolls his eyes; maybe he should have followed Lini away from the altar... "Let me guess? Is it friendship...?"
The ground begins to quake and Darago and his team run for cover. "TRUTH ACCEPTED!" booms out the altar, spitting some sort of holy symbol. Darago goes forward and picks it up.
After a few moments, Darago hears a chorus of voices just barely whispering at the back of his mind, "We wish we had friends... They left us here and never came back...". He glances over at Estra, based on the look on her face, she can hear the Card 2:Eternal Captives too. This is super inconvenient to get right now with almost the entire team here... I'm probably going to use Fire Snake for this, but I'd like everyone else to make their checks first; if anyone fails, my result won't matter anyway.

The only thing that I want from the Acquired Cards is an Armor 6 for Phoenix Cloak Armor 6:1d1000 ⇒ 905
If there aren't enough Armor 6s to go around, my scenario reward will be drawing an Armor 5/6. If there are enough, I'll defer my choice to someone who would actually use a Weapon or Ally upgrade.

Darago climbs up to the Scorched Obelisk and challenges the Card 1:Enchanter to a magic duel. The enchanter slings her first volley, but the protective magics surrounding the area snuff it out before it even gets close to Darago. Darago returns fire, literally. Climb up to Scorched Obelisk, discarding Shield Cloak. Safety Bubble make the BYA and AYA irrelevant. For the Combat, play Ice and Fire to use Arcane+2d8+3.
Combat 16:1d10 + 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + (6, 2) + 9 = 18
The Enchanter yields and Darago convinces her to help him bolster the Safety Bubble to negate the electric surges Place Enchanter in my hand and Banish to add 1d4+1 to close check
Fortitude 9:1d8 + 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + (3) + 5 = 10Is Safety Bubble still here for the When Perm Closed effect? It goes away when the location is closed, which is at the same time that the When Perm Closed effect happens, so I get to choose which happens first, right?
Darago catches his breath before starting his ascent again.

Darago looks up at the giant sky-pillar and goes pale. Physical activity is definitely not his strong suit. He gazes into to future to try and find the timeline that involves the least amount of climbing. Play Scrying on Scorched Obelisk looking for barriers. Find Insanity Mist (Which Triggers), Brass Golem, and Striking Wing Scimitar. After the trigger, place Insanity Mist on the bottom
In his vision, Darago sees tiny nozzles pop out at the Scorched Obelisk which start spewing some sort of noxious gas all around Estra and Lini. He returns to the present to find the green mist already beginning to accumulate around their feet. Darago yells at his teammates to hold their breath before sending out a flaming serpent to burn off the gas before they're able to inhale too much of it. Play Fire Snake to use my Arcane on the Disable check. Reveal Headband of Epic Intelligence to add 2 and I may play another item. Reveal Mask of the Forgotten Pharaoh to add 2
Disable 11:1d10 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Satisfied that the mist is mostly disappated, Darago begins his ascent to the Scorched ObeliskDiscard Headband of Epic Intelligence to move
Random Card:1d5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2Welp. That's the 1 card I didn't want...
Random Fire Damage 1=Darago, 2=Estra, 3=Lini:1d3 ⇒ 2 Fire Damage:1d4 ⇒ 1Estra has a couple of ways to reduce the fire damage
When Darago arrives at the scorched obelisk, he's greeted by a Card 1:Brass Golem who promptly piledrives him through the floor. I'm rolling a d4 to get a 24. There's no way that's going to happen... Take tons of damage (really only 4, cuz that's what's left of my hand) and move down to the Volcanic Vents. Does someone want to avenge?]

Darago hears the roars and stomping of clawed feet of the final challenger approaching. He sends signal to Qualzar to create a distraction and split the enemy party while he begins channeling Mnesoset's power. Start of turn, Recharge Catching Cape to gain Mnesoset's Powers.
When the Card 1:Akvan passes through the flaming curtain Darago created around the hall, it finds the wizard moving strangely, as though he were unused to having a physical body. Darago turns to face the div and booms out, in a voice other than his own, a single word that carries the weight of a thousand stones: "LEAVE!"
For the BYA, Estra displays Hypercognition to add 1 die to my INT/WIS/CHA checks. Mindscape adds 1d4. I'll also use Skizza's Blessing of Milani to make sure this works
WIS 9:4d8 + 1d4 ⇒ (5, 7, 1, 1) + (3) = 17Qualzar summons and encounters Sepid. He evades
For the combat check, Discard Fire Snake to use Mnesoset's Power and use Arcane+2d8. Discard Qualzar's Blessing of Pharasma for +2 dice. Banish Hollow Serpent for +1d4+1. Recharge Helm of Electric Radiance to add 1d8. Reveal Headband for +2. Hypercognition and Mindscape still in effect.
Darago rejects the sorcerer's initial offer. "No, the big skele-snake is already realigned. It's on our side now. You have a band-aid or something though?"
