This event uses a simplified variation of the ship and plunder rules from Skull & Shackles. Ignore any references to commanding or seizing ships.
Even though a ship is neither a bane nor a boon, encountering a ship is much like encountering a bane. First apply any effects that happen when you encounter a ship. Then, if you don’t evade it, you must attempt a check to defeat it. If you succeed at all of the checks required to defeat a ship, stash a plunder card (see below). If you fail a check to defeat a ship, it deals an amount of Structural damage equal to the difference between the difficulty to defeat the ship and your check result. Characters may play cards or use powers that reduce Structural damage (effects that reduce damage to characters do not reduce Structural damage), then characters must collectively discard from the tops of their decks a total number of cards equal to the remaining Structural damage.
When you are instructed to stash or add a plunder card, roll 1d6 on the table below and draw a card of the corresponding type from the game box.

At the start of this adventure, choose whether you wish to count the adventure for purposes of tier advancement. If you choose not to count this adventure as tier advancement, you do not gain feats as provided in the Guide, but you do gain scenario rewards and deck upgrades as normal.
This adventure does not use traders.
Do not read any scenario’s villains or henchmen before playing it.
If you are dead at the end of a scenario, you may play another character for the next scenario.
If you fail a scenario, immediately replay it.
When playing this adventure in Tier 2, the scourge die is 1d6; in Tier 5, the scourge die is 1d8+1.
Any character may bury a card that has the Healing trait, an ally, or a blessing to give a displayed or buried Reinforcements support card to another Pathfinder Adventure Card Guild table that does not have one displayed or buried.
NEW RULE: REINFORCEMENTS:
This event introduces a new type of support card: reinforcements. The Overseer GM will randomly choose one-third of the Adventure Card Guild tables (rounded up) and give them the support card Reinforcements. When a table gets this card, display it next to the scenario. While displayed, the card’s powers are in effect for characters at that table.
NEW RULE: FAVORS:
This event introduces a new type of support card: favors. Certain scenarios place favors into the blessings deck. When that card is discarded from the blessings deck, do what it says. Afterward, if it would be removed from the blessings deck discard pile, banish it instead.
ANNOUNCED CONDITIONS:
During the adventure, the Overseer GM will announce numerous conditions that affect all characters. If a character is encountering a card at that time, the condition occurs after the encounter. If a character is attempting a check outside of an encounter, the condition occurs after the check.
RULES: SHIPS AND PLUNDER:
This event uses a simplified variation of the ship and plunder rules from Skull & Shackles. Ignore any references to commanding or seizing ships.
Even though a ship is neither a bane nor a boon, encountering a ship is much like encountering a bane. First apply any effects that happen when you encounter a ship. Then, if you don’t evade it, you must attempt a check to defeat it. If you succeed at all of the checks required to defeat a ship, stash a plunder card (see below). If you fail a check to defeat a ship, it deals an amount of Structural damage equal to the difference between the difficulty to defeat the ship and your check result. Characters may play cards or use powers that reduce Structural damage (effects that reduce damage to characters do not reduce Structural damage), then characters must collectively discard from the tops of their decks a total number of cards equal to the remaining Structural damage.
When you are instructed to stash or add a plunder card, roll 1d6 on the table below and draw a card of the corresponding type from the game box.

Before you act, bury a random card from your discard pile.
At the start of this adventure, choose whether you wish to count the adventure for purposes of tier advancement. If you choose not to count this adventure as tier advancement, you do not gain feats as provided in the Guide, but you do gain scenario rewards and deck upgrades as normal.
This adventure does not use traders.
Do not read any scenario’s villains or henchmen before playing it.
If you are dead at the end of a scenario, you may play another character for the next scenario.
If you fail a scenario, immediately replay it.
When playing this adventure in Tier 2, the scourge die is 1d6; in Tier 5, the scourge die is 1d8+1.
Any character may bury a card that has the Healing trait, an ally, or a blessing to give a displayed or buried Reinforcements support card to another Pathfinder Adventure Card Guild table that does
not have one displayed or buried.
During This Scenario:
Before setting out locations, choose the Dark Archive or the Grand Lodge. When possible, choose one that the table has not yet completed.
Dark Archive: Add the locations Great Library of Tephu and Guardian Vault, and use the villain Velriana Unborn. If the Great Library of Tephu or the Guardian Vault is open, the difficulty of checks to defeat monsters is increased by the scenario’s adventure deck number. When playing this adventure in Tier 5, the difficulty of checks against Velriana Unborn is increased by 6.
Grand Lodge: Add the locations Ghoul Square and Sea Fort, and use the villain Devoted General. At the start of your turn, roll 1d4; if the result is less than the number of characters, you are dealt 2 Ranged Combat damage. When playing this adventure in Tier 2, the difficulty of checks against the Devoted General and Kor-Ahn Tuk are decreased by 6.
9-00B Reward:
For the rest of the Adventure, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 item in her deck with the loot item Game of Afterlife and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 spell in his deck with the spell Remove Curse. At the end of the scenario, return the cards to the game box.
Dark Archive Faction Condition Effective!:
For the rest of the adventure, when you encounter a non-villain bane that has the Undead trait, you may recharge a card to evade your encounter or to ignore its power that happens before you act.
This table DOES NOT HAVE a Reinforcements card.
Reinforcements:
On your check, after the roll, you may bury this card to add 1d8. You may bury this card; each character shuffles a random card from his discard pile into his deck. You may bury this card to shuffle 1d4+1 random cards from your discard pile into your deck. At the end of the scenario, give this card to another Pathfinder Adventure Card Guild table that does not have one displayed or buried.
