Seoni will go to Ghoul Market. Haven’t finalized loot yet- still thinking about whether Golden Serpent Armband, but that won’t affect traders, and rest should be same as last scenario. Interested in Varanthe the Paralyzer but would defer to Raz.
(Glad we took that hiatus. My December was unexpectedly chaotic. Things haven’t fully settled down yet, so I may be a little slower than usual, but I should be able to keep up.)

Seoni’s first choice is Ally 6 (Clockwork Owl, or maybe Autumn Witch). Might conceivably be able to take a Spell 5, but still thinking that over. (Maybe Eagle Aerie for Dimension Leap? Or maybe Blizzard for Wall of Fire, although I like the anti-Undead bonus with Wall of Fire. Any opinions?)
Feat will be INT skill.

Varanthe: Will defer to Raz. Would be nice for Construct evasion, but Raz is even better Construct evasion :)
Mortevia: Interested, but willing to defer if someone else wants. It’s nice for Seoni because I don’t have to worry about losing a combat option to a random recharge.
Xandhul: Nice, but no strong feelings. Only if no one else wants.

Seoni’s first choice is Ally 6 (Clockwork Owl), but could also take Item 6 (Ring of Energy Resistance). I probably could also take Spell 6 (Dominate), although less enthusiastic given how many Mental-immune enemies there are (and siege scenarios for that matter).

Power feat will be to max my sorcery attack. No interest in the new loot, but I’ll probably adjust what I’m taking given the siege.

Trader will be Ghoul Market again.

Re location powers: Defensive Stance says to “encounter the top card of the siege deck as if it were the top card of your location deck”. So they would become Undead.

For Ghoul Market, Seoni’s 1st choice is Gravewatcher Chain Mail, 2nd choice is Rhino Hide Armor.

Can we get spoilers for the locations/henchmen? We need to decide who gets who. Seoni’s preferences are:
1) Mortevia: Wouldn’t mind additional damage prevention, and I don’t have to worry about losing a combat option to a random recharge. (Interest, but willing to defer if someone else wants.)
2) Varanthe: Emergency combat bonus is nice, but I’ll probably be avoiding Ruined Temple because half my deck is Divine. (Weak interest, if no one else feels strongly.)
3) Xandhul: I’ll be staying away from Eternal Arena and the Brass Golem there. (No interest, only if no one else wants.)

We may need to be very strategic this scenario.
We can’t start at 5-Pointed Sun, and can’t move at all until we close a location. So maybe we begin by ganging up on a location to try to close it quickly?

However, because we can’t move from open locations, whoever goes to babysit 5-Pointed Sun is stuck there the entire game. (Seems a great scenario for Harsk or Lirianne.)

I think even without seeing henchmen/locations, Five-Pointed Sun is enough for Seoni to go to Ghoul Market.

Seoni’s first choice is Ally 6 (Clockwork Owl). Could also take Item 6 (Ring of Energy Resistance) or Blessing 6 (of the All-Seeing Eye).

Feat will probably be an ally, but might switch depending on what upgrade I get.

No interest in loot.

Seoni will go to Ghoul Market.

Seoni's first choice for upgrade is Blessing 5 (of the Lady of Graves). But if someone else wants it, I probably can find some other Boon 5 for trading purposes.

Still thinking about the loot allies. Will again bump my sorcery attack with the Power Feat.

I think there's an unclaimed Item 5 (Samisen of Oracular Vision) I'll take for my upgrade.

Seoni will go armor shopping at to Ghoul Market.

Any thoughts about strategy for the upcoming scenario? Five-Pointed Sun will need babysitting. (Slightly tempted to metagame and instead take Spell 5 Eagle Aerie for my upgrade.)

No priority upgrade for Seoni. I'll choose from whatever's leftover. Probably an Item 5 for trading purposes, maybe a Spell 5.

Passing on loot- think I'd rather have Golden Serpent Armband than Pharaoh's Key unless something very scenario specific.

Seoni does want the Ally 5 (Sand Elemental), thanks!
Trader will be Falsin Deek. And assuming no one else wants it, I'd like to take Symbol of Pain loot this scenario.

Any thoughts on strategy? I was thinking, does it make sense to prioritize emptying out 1 location first (Altar of Riddles maybe?) to use to store our win condition cards. Then we can spread out and hunt the Elusive Knowledges.
Although, something seems off with the setup instructions. It seems like there should be a stack of 2 loot + 5 Elusive Knowledges, but there are only 6 locations. Are we missing a location?

(In the future, how much trouble would it be to get details for the locations/story banes along with the scenario intro? I like to use that when deciding my traders and loots. But if it's a hassle, don't worry about it, I can use my physical cards for reference.)

Seoni is looking for Ally 5 (Sand Elemental or Pyromaniac Mage) or Blessing 5 (of the Lady of Graves). Slight preference for ally all things being equal.

Feat will be skill to bump INT.

Seoni might have occasional interest in the loot Vision, but only depending on the scenario. I'll defer to Ezren/whoever else wants.

Hmhmhmhm Deciding between Ghoul Market and Falsin Deek. Seoni will go to whichever of those 2 is more popular. (And all things being equal, I guess I'll do armor at Ghoul Market due to the forced movements.)

Thanks for the adventure! I'm glad I got to finish it out with Valendron. And it was fun playing before Amli- really allowed me to lean into the weapon side of things.

For the final upgrade, could I have that Ally 6 (Clockwork Owl)?

(And Happy New Year!)

Seoni's first choice is Blessing 5 (either of Achaekek or of the Lady of Graves; any opinions?), but if there aren't enough blessings to go around, I could also take an Ally 5 (Sand Elemental).

As hilarious at it would be to draw 4 or 8 cards off of an Elemental Arachnid, I think I'll use my Power Feat to bump my sorcery attack.

Also no upgrade for Valendron. (Only really looking for an Ally 6, or maybe a Blessing 6.)
For loot, taking the Quickened Ray this scenario, no Farglass.
Since we can't use hourglass powers, presumably we should just take whichever ship has the best damage prevention?

Seoni will go to Falsin Deek.

Does Zova have a Blessing 6 she’s interested in? If so, I’ll take the Ally 6. If not, I can take the Blessing 6 so Zova has the Ally 6 to take.

Valendron doesn't need any more item or armor upgrades.
I could use either Ally 6 (Clockwork Owl) or Blessing 6 (of Nethys).

For next scenario, Valendron is interested in Alise Grogblud, and maybe also Farglass.

Confirming Item card feat, taking back Spellbook (or Game of Afterlife, depending on the scenario).

Seoni is mainly interested in Spell 5 (Life Leech).
Still thinking about item vs blessing card feat, currently leaning towards item.
No interest in loot.

Valendron's first choice is Ally 6 (Clockwork Owl), but I'll defer to everyone else. Would also be happy with an Item 6 (Ring of Energy Resistance).
(Rethinking whether or not I want Spell 6 Sign of Wrath. It is party-unfriendly, but maybe in place of Wall of Fire or Swipe? Hm.)

Valendron is very interested in the Crossbow loot.
Power feat will be to autorecover Attack spells.

This next scenario seems challenging. The forced starting location is potentially brutal.

Chronicle sheets are posted to google drive, sorry for the delay. Let me know if anything is wrong.

Valendron doesn't need any more Spell 6s, so I'll vote Weapon hoping for Weapon 6 (Force Sling +3). But it's a low priority upgrade, so I can defer if there aren't enough to go around.

Skill feat will be to max out CHA. For loot next scenario, I'll be swapping Lady Agasta in for Alise Grogblud.

My vote is ally for plunder, same reasoning as with Letter of Marque. For our ship, maybe Abrogail's Fury?

Valendron's top choice for upgrade is Spell 6 (Dominate). I could take a Weapon 6 (Force Sling +3) if I had to.

Mild interest in the loot ally Alise, especially for scenarios with lots of barriers. Such as the next one, even if unfortunately she won't work on the Skirmish henchmen. And someone should be taking Besmara's Tricorne this scenario. Valendron will if no one else wants it, but I'll defer to Amli/Zova since they use CON/WIS more. (Also wondering if Rickety Hake might be worth it, hm.)

Feat will be another ally.

The adventure path is over. Congratulations!

Valendron will past on both upgrades.

Still thinking about the reward. The only card I might want is Blizzard, but I'm not sure if the unfriendliness is worth it. The other option is probably just keeping Black Spot (and/or maybe swapping out for Quickened Ray if no one else is taking it). But IIRC there are a lot more multiple combat than non-combat checks in S&S 6. Hmhmhm.

Seoni will go to Falsin Deek.
And I think I'll take Golden Serpent Armband instead of Game of Afterlife this scenario. (Don't want to be burying items unnecessarily this scenario, and scourge removal shouldn't be as much a problem with this many checks to acquire to overkill.)

Valendron is only interested in a Spell 5 (Life Leech), but I'm probably okay to defer to Ezren. What spell is he thinking about?

Power feat is to bump my sorcery.
No interest in loot armor.

For our extra ship next scenario, maybe Truewind? After we corner the first villain, the hourglass will reset to 5 turns, so if we know that's about to happen, we may have extra time to milk any extra blessings for healing.

There's also an acquired Blessing 3 of Isis that Seoni got from Concordance's Favor.

Seoni is only interested in an Item 4 (Wand of Treasure Finding) for upgrades.
No interest in the loot. Although I might be interested in Reiko's Golden Serpent Armband for siege scenarios.

Still thinking about upgrades. Valendron's top choice is definitely Spell 5 (Life Leech), but might be willing to take an Item 5 (for Item 4 Wand of Treasure Finding).

Hero point will be for a DEX skill feat.

This scenario looks a little tricky, with the non-closing barrier henchmen, since I'm assuming no one is running any curse removal. And I'm personally not thrilled about the villain requiring CON/Fortitude. So Valendron is probably going to be sticking very close to Amli or Zova.
Any thoughts on ship choice? I'm wondering if Wormwood might be nice here. Although the -2 Structural damage from Kraken would still be useful too, although risky if it gets wrecked.

Looks like there's a Blessing 5 for Valendron no matter what Amli wants.
My vote would be for spell again for starting plunder.

For upgrades, Valendron could take Blessing 5 (of Achaekek) or Spell 5 (Life Leech).
Feat will be a weapon card feat.

Won't be taking Besmara's Tricorne next scenario, in case anyone wants it instead.

Valendron will pass on upgrades.
Weak interest in the loot Blessing, but I'll defer if anyone else is interested.

No strong feelings for our ship. For starting plunder, Valendron's choice would be spell. Might also take Besmara's Tricorne this scenario if no one else wants it, for all the enemy ships.

Valendron would take a Blessing 3 (of Sivanah or maybe Gozreh) if it goes unclaimed. But I’m okay deferring to Amli or Zova.

Power feat will be +2 on my sorcerer attack.

And, perhaps Kraken for our ship this scenario? +1d12 in case of emergency, should the WIS 10 henchman check is failed.

I'll take the unclaimed Spell 4 (Wall of Fire). So everyone gets their first upgrade choice.
As tempting as a WIS feat is (especially for the upcoming scenario), I think I'll take DEX+2.
For loot, unless anyone else wants, I'll switch to Besmara's Tricorne and Lady Agasta for the next scenario.

Rewards are up! Decide on feats, discuss upgrades, think about loot. Next scenario should be up tonight.

NostalgiaCon has ended, so no more d20s. I am assuming that everyone wants to keep going, but please let me know if otherwise.

The weird reward wording is a fix for the Vailea loot.

Valendron doesn't really have any high priority Boon 4 upgrades, so I'll choose from whatever's left over. Maybe Item 4 (for Item 3 Headband of Alluring Charisma) if it's available?

Card Feat will probably be another blessing, but I'll confirm after finalizing upgrade.

Next scenario's intro is up. Draw starting hands when you're ready. (No choice for starting location.)

Rewards are up! Decide on feats, discuss upgrades, think about loot, and roll your d20.
Next scenario should be up tonight.

7-2A reward: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Nope

Adventure Reward will be Spell 3 (Swipe). For upgrades, I could take Ally 3 (Cat) if no one else wants.
Still thinking about whether to bump hand size or sorcerer attack with my power feat.

Rewards are up! Discuss upgrades and roll your d20.
I should have the next scenario (and adventure!) up tomorrow.

7-1D reward: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Jackpot!

Ah, I wonder if it was intended for players who haven't completed earlier scenarios. They receive loot that they wouldn't otherwise have access to, to counterbalance the additional difficulty?

Assuming I’m getting a blessing update, I think I’ll take a blessing card feat as well.
I’m having an unusually difficult time comprehending the scenario rule. :/

Valendron could use any of Ally 3 (Cat), Blessing 3 (of Gozreh), or Spell 3 (Swipe).
As tempting as a WIS skill feat is for S&S, that skill seems to be well-covered by other party members, so I think I'll increase CHA.
Need to think about the card feat.

And so ends the adventure path. Congratulations!

Rewards are up, next scenario intro should be up later tonight. Sorry for the delay.

7-1C reward: 1d20 ⇒ 18
Nope

Seoni's first choice is Steel Ibis Lamellar (because of the Craft recharge), second choice is Khamsin Coat.

Hi there
We have scheduled a multicity event in Russia and Belarus to occur this Sunday, Dec 17th to play new special Assault on Absalom. We plan to have 15 tables here in Moscow plus video connection to St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Krasnodar and Minsk who will be joining online.
We have lots of people planning to visit this event.

The problem is that NONE of the GMs have received the scenario so far. The request for support has been submitted long enough (month ago) for this to be proceeded. The special scenario is not available for purchase yet on paizo.com so GMs have no access to it at all.

So the question is - is it ever planned to provide the GMs with this scenario? Or is it expected that GMs who all have their work and personal life will be able to prepare in 1-2 days for the event? Please bear in mind that we are not native English speakers and we do require additional time to prepare.
