REWARD
For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 item in his deck with the loot Game of Afterlife and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 armor in her deck with the loot Akhentepi’s Armor. At the end of each scenario, return the cards to the game box.

ADVENTURE REWARD
Each player unlocks the ability to play Zadim from the Mummy’s Mask Base Set using the Inquisitor Class Deck.

Development:
After defeating the usij cultist a second—and hopefully final—time and swimming back to shore far away from the Aspis camp, you stop to catch your breath. It’s been a long day since you fought those gnolls, and your resources are spent. Thus, it’s quite unwelcome when you hear a woman clear her throat, and the alchemist Ridaiya Merai emerges from behind a rocky outcropping, along with numerous Aspis guards.

You can’t stop her from capturing you and confiscating the tablets, though you’re sure you remember them well enough to reproduce the map. Thinking fast, you claim to have been chasing the usij cultist who sabotaged Merai’s camp all the way from Sothis. You explain that the tablets weren’t from the Aspis’s dig site. She taps her lip, “In that case, Pathfinders, perhaps we can come to an arrangement…”

Sandstorm...

Skizza: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Precinct of the Left Eyes. No cards in location deck.

Estra: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Peasant Tombs. No cards in location deck.

Gronk: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Embalming Parlor. No cards in location deck.

Qualzar: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Peasant Tombs. No cards in location deck.

Lightning Storm needs to move.
Random Location: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Conveniently to the closed Crypt.

Estra also needs to do the BYA from the Fire Hydra.

Looks good. I'll roll for the rest. I would have done that right away if I'd noticed the Sandstorm.

Estra: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Skizza: 1d6 ⇒ 6

They both move to Precinct of the Left Eyes and see a Lightning Storm.

Qualzar said you are good to use his blessing, so Aghash defeated, location closed.

Qualzar rolled his scourge. I'll roll for Gronk and Skizza. Estra can roll for her own.

Gronk scourge: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Skizza Scourge: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

So Qualzar doesn't have to potentially waste any spoilered blessings looking for a non-basic one.

3-1E: TRAILS TO THE SKY
Now that you aren’t in a rush to catch up to the Taldan wizard, you realize this place is bigger on the inside than the outside warranted. You’re so excited about your new tablets that you can’t help but begin to decipher them as you walk back out of the ancient compound. Ever since fellow agents cleared dark elves out of a strange pyramid in the Darklands, the Society has been aware of pyramids that could soar through the sky. But if the information on these tablets is still accurate, you’re holding the map to a functional sky pyramid somewhere on the Scorpion Coast. Forget vague elemental lore, this discovery could easily make your career! Imagine becoming the venture-captain of the “Flying Sky Pyramid Lodge” and what sorts of advantages that could bring; if these tablets were halfway accurate, the thing even has a significant magical arsenal at its disposal.

Lost in thought, you reach the doors to leave the building, only for them to slam shut and glow with a baleful dark flame, a magic lock of some sort. “Curse you, Pathfinders!” a voice rasps, sounding like the wizard, but somehow wrong. You turn to see the woman’s shambling corpse behind you, as rag-shrouded creatures approach from all sides, their faces nothing more than an enormous eye ringed with fangs. These are aghash divs, the embodiment of the curse of the evil eye! You feel yourself falling under their curse as the wizard continues. “I admit, this body didn’t hold up as well as I would have hoped, but by the grace of Lord Ahriman, it serves me alive or dead. Perhaps yours will work better?” You realize then that she must be a spirit of an ancient member of the usij, a cult of div-worshipers the Society foiled in Rahadoum several years ago.

And with that, she attacks!

DURING THIS SCENARIO
At the start of the scenario, each character suffers a scourge.
At the end of your turn, you may examine the top card of your location deck.

VILLAIN:

HENCHMEN:

REWARD
For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 spell in her deck with the spell Elemental Treaty and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 item in his deck with the loot Tablet of Languages Lost. At the end of each scenario, return the cards to the game box.

This is your 4th completed scenario at this tier, so you gain a card feat.

Development:
The Taldan proved to be a talented wizard, employing a variety of ancient spells. Though you would have liked to take her captive, in the end you had no choice but to kill her.

With the distractions out of the way, you turn to the altar and examine it, touching a specific hieroglyph to open a compartment below. Inside are several stone tablets and the decayed remnants of ancient papyrus. You dutifully collect the decayed papyrus in case it can be magically restored, but the tablets draw your attention immediately. Your eyes go wide. You’re holding a map to a pyramid—and the tablets seem to indicate that it can fly.

Acquired
Cure (Spell B)
Azaz Arafe and Zazu (Ally 1)
Tomb Raider (Ally B)
Blessing of the Ancients (Blessing B)
Blessing of the Ancients (Blessing B)
Blessing of Thoth (Blessing 1)

Choose your deck upgrades. Then let's see in the discussion thread who wants to continue on.

We need to move the Elemental Treaty.
Random Other Location: 1d5 ⇒ 3

Elemental Treaty moves from Towering Obelisk too..: 1d5 ⇒ 5 Catacombs.

It was my fault, not yours.

My bad. The one in the location is correct. The one in the scenario details above was wrong. Skizza's turn is good. Processing the escape now.

Traders, starting locations, then starting hands please.

Random Location 1: 1d6 ⇒ 2 Mausoleum
Random Location 2: 1d5 ⇒ 5 Catacombs

3-1D: UNDER PRESSURE
As you follow the Taldan infiltrator deeper into the ruins of Shotep-Kara, you don’t allow yourself the luxury of examining the archaeological marvels around you. You must stay focused lest she try another trick to shake you off her tail. She enters a strange domed edifice of opaque glass, relatively intact compared to its neighbors. You open the door to follow her inside, shocked to find that the building’s entrance repels the water around it. Why would that…

In a flash, you remember Norden Balentiir’s briefing: Shotep- Kara had strange extradimensional portals, altered spaces, and connections to the Elemental Planes themselves. The inside of this building might not even be in the same dimension as the city around it! It might have been ensorcelled to prevent the elements from reaching the inside—inadvertently handy if the city were to, say, be swallowed by the ocean after a series of earthquakes and tsunamis. The inside of the building is full of Ancient Osirian hieroglyphics. Fortunately, you learned to read them during training, part of the reason the venture-captain chose you for this mission. The text dates this building to the early Age of the Black Sphinx, over 6,000 years ago, coinciding with the reign of the Four Pharaohs. Skimming the hieroglyphics as you glance around for the woman in the foppish hat, you note that this place was a repository for reports by scholars and archaeologists loyal to the Four Pharaohs. The walls honor the sacrifices of their fallen on behalf of the gods Nethys and Thoth. You follow the woman’s trail to a strange altar, though she is nowhere in sight.

“Impressive, following me here,” she calls out from somewhere nearby, in Ancient Osiriani of all languages, “but it ends here. Guardians, destroy the intruders!”

DURING THIS SCENARIO
Before building the location decks, display the spell Elemental Treaty at 2 different random locations. Ignore the sentence that begins “When this location is closed” on these 2 spells.

When a character starts her turn at a location that has an Elemental Treaty displayed, or when you close a location that has an Elemental Treaty displayed, display each Elemental Treaty at that location at a random other location.

Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire, and Poison damage dealt to you is increased by 1.

Henchmen

REWARD
For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 weapon in her deck with the weapon Scorpion Whip and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 armor in his deck with the loot Akhentepi’s Armor. At the end of each scenario, return the cards to the game box.

ADVENTURE REWARD
Each player unlocks the ability to play Crowe from the Wrath of the Righteous Character Add-On Deck using the Magus Class Deck.

Development:
Escape! Though you can hear more footsteps cracking through the underbrush, the enemies nearby have all been dispatched. You sprint across the sand and leap into Pegsworthy’s rowboat. Once safe aboard the Bonaventure, Siddique claps you on the backs and gives you his genuine thanks for saving his life. As per your agreement, he tells you all he knows about the traitor Pasha Muhlia al-Jakri, though what he says does anything but calm your nerves.

Al-Jakri has been busy making powerful friends since her escape from Absalom. According to Siddique, she has the ear of High Strategos Maxillar Pythareous, fueling his dreams of bringing glory to Taldor through conquest of its southern neighbor, Qadira. Not satisfied with instability in eastern Avistan, she’s been working with a Gebbite Blood Lord who provides her with thralls to do her bidding in Thuvia and Nex. Though Siddique confesses he does not know the ends to which these thralls are put, he believes that many are unwilling participants who would, should their mind control be disrupted, cease their actions and potentially help the Pathfinder Society.

This, it seems, is what hope feels like.

Here is what I have you acquiring:
Kopis (Weapon B)
Augury (Spell B)
Lightning Touch (Spell C)
Crocodile Skin Armor (Armor B)
Crocodile Skin Armor (Armor C)
Crocodile Skin Madu (Armor B)
Lottery Urn (Item 1)
Embalmer (Ally C)
Mahga Threefingers (Ally B)
Sebti the Crocodile (Ally 1)
Shock Lizard (Ally B)
Blessing of Nethys (Blessing B)
Blessing of the Ancients (Blessing B)
Blessing of Wadjet (Blessing B)

REWARD
For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 weapon in his deck with the loot Spear of the Watchful Guardian and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 armor in her deck with the loot Scarab Buckler. At the end of each scenario, return the cards to the game box.

Development:
After defeating the doru and dismantling the constructs, you see the Taldan with the foppish hat in the distance. Could she have used the div as a delaying tactic? Fortunately, whatever spell granted her such speed on land isn’t helping her swim, so you’re able to start slowly closing the distance to her.

As she reaches the far edge of the Aspis dig site, you feel a knot in the pit of your stomach. When Norden Balentiir told you not to head past the boundaries of the dig site, you somehow knew that you were going to wind up going past them anyway. But this seems crucial, so you sigh inwardly and press on.

Here is what I have you acquiring:
Sands of Time (Spell 1)
Crocodile Skin Helmet (Armor B)
Antitoxin (Item B)
Compass (Item C)
Crowbar (Item C)
Djinn Favor Amulet (Item 1)
Lottery Urn (Item 1)
Twitch Tonic (Item B)
Aunty (Ally C)
Dhabba (Ally B)
Dhabba (Ally C)
Blessing of the Ancients (Blessing B)
Blessing of the Elements (Blessing B)

There is no tier reward for the third scenario.

Random item is Lottery Urn (Item 1).

And that is a win.

Radovan is defeats Herran Halfwhip. Earthworks is the only open location, so he will be shuffled into there.

Yes this was game 5 for most of you, so no feat. Except Tup missed a game, so this was game 4 for him, so he gets his card feat.

REWARD
For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 weapon in her deck with the weapon Scorpion Whip and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 armor in his deck with the loot Akhentepi’s Armor. At the end of each scenario, return the cards to the game box.

Blowgun (Weapon B)
Hunga Munga (Weapon B)
Spelldagger (Weapon C)
Fireblade (Spell B)
Elemental Treaty (Spell C)
Armor of the Sands (Armor B)
Crocodile Skin Armor (Armor B)

Porcupine (Ally C)
Stone Weasel (Ally C)
Blessing of Bastet (Blessing B)
Blessing of the Elements (Blessing B)
Blessing of the Elements (Blessing B)
Blessing of Wadjet (Blessing C)

So, the location is closed, right? Which means that the random monster that gets shuffled into the deck for beating the DC by more than 7 is pointless, I believe. Reset hand and end turn.

Because he is evaded, the location doesn't close. He just gets shuffled back in at that point. But the monster being shuffled in only happens based on your first check to defeat. And you defeated an Emperor Cobra by less than 7 earlier in the turn, so no monster.

As mentioned in chat, Heran had slightly incorrect text. This is the correct text:

I just noticed Heran Halfwhip's powers are slightly incorrect. The power that makes you discard a card should NOT have a condition of failing a check. It just happens "when examined" and "before you act." Here is the correct text:

I don't think that has made a difference in anything you've done so far, but if it has let me know and we'll figure out what to do.

Technically everyone should choose their starting location, then everyone should draw their starting hand. A concession we are making to speed up games in play by post is to choose and draw at the same time. We just ask that no one makes a decision on starting location based on a previous character's hand draw. If you want, you can put your hand in a spoiler box.

Traders, locations, and let me know if you are using any replacement cards.

4-1E: SEAWARD!
The last rays of sunshine fade to blue dusk as you head down the slope toward the beach. The ship dubbed the Bonaventure is anchored in deep water, where crew members hoist black sails in preparation for a stealthy getaway under cover of night.

You see the contact that your Eagle Knight ally Aviera Sacero described rowing toward the shore in a small dinghy. Even at this distance, the thick scar across the bridge of his nose is unmistakable, and though you can’t see it from where you stand, you mentally picture the man’s famous wooden leg propping him up in the rowboat as his arms propel him toward the shore. You give a wave to Merrill Pegsworthy as he draws near. He gives a curt nod in acknowledgement, then his eyes widen as he shouts something. You can’t make out what he’s saying, but when he starts waving his arms and gesturing to the air behind you, his intent is clear enough.

Whirling around to face the slope, you see the slaver Heran Halfwhip’s cronies bursting forth with weapons drawn. You did not escape as undetected as you thought! Your prisoner Satyar Siddique moans as he considers the likelihood of returning to Halfwhip’s slave pens. Pushing concerns for Sacero and her followers to the back of your mind, you prepare for one last battle to escape this wretched island of slavery.

DURING THIS SCENARIO
Treat the villain Thuvian Alchemist as a henchman.
Before you attempt to temporarily or permanently close a location, discard a random card.

Villain

Henchmen

Looks like there won't be any conflicts. Finalize your upgrades. I'll start setting up the next scenario.

You defeated the Blasphemous Priest by 4 or more, so the location zaps you for 1d4 Electricity damage.

Here is what I have you acquiring. Let me know if I missed something:

Galvanic Chakram +1 (Weapon 1)
Khopesh (Weapon B)
Acute Senses (Spell B)
Clinging Venom (Spell B)
Cure (Spell C)
Holy Light (Spell B)
Unshakable Chill (Spell C)
Burglar's Buckler (Armor 1)
Crocodile Skin Shield (Armor B)
Crocodile Skin Lamellar (Armor B)
Djinn Favor Amulet (Item 1)
Embalming Fluid (Item 1)
Potion of Energy Resistance (Item B)
Wing of Horus (Item B)
Camel (Ally C)
Porcupine (Ally B)
Tomb Raider (Ally B)
Tomb Raider (Ally B)
Blessing of Abadar (Blessing B)
Blessing of Bastet (Blessing B)
Blessing of the Ancients (Blessing B)
Blessing of the Ancients (Blessing B)
Blessing of the Elements (Blessing C)

Random blessing is Blessing of Abadar.

If this was your 4th scenario, you get a card feat.

REWARD
For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 item in her deck with the item Compass and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 ally in his deck with the ally Camel. At the end of each scenario, return the cards to the game box.

Development:
Despite tangling with hostile creatures and equally hostile landforms, you’ve made it back to the streambed.

Your unlikely ally Siddique has had the worst of it, though. The ministrations of the slavers have rendered him unfit for the harsh environs. If you don’t reach safety soon, he’ll die without divulging the whereabouts of the traitor Pasha Muhlia al-Jakri.

There’s no more room for mistakes, so you backtrack to the most recent landmark and are careful to follow the course without further detours. The correct path eventually leaves you standing at the edge of the promised cove. You must find a ship to get passage from this benighted land, or all your efforts will be to no avail.

3-1C: UP FOR A SWIM?

As you chase the Taldan infiltrator in the foppish hat, it quickly becomes clear why she stole one of Merai’s water breathing potions: she’s headed for the dig site! That knowledge is a poor consolation for the fact that the Taldan managed to significantly outpace you, likely by using a spell to increase her speed.

As you swim into the shallows, you see in the distance the beginnings of the Aspis dig site and the ruins of Shotep-Kara. You begin to imagine what this place must have looked like at the height of Tumen, during the time of the Four Pharaohs of Ascension. The crumbling, waterlogged monuments, temples, and docks suggest a time when this place was a commercial and military powerhouse, the gateway to the wonders of Ancient Osirion.

However, you don’t have long to ponder before you hear a strange crashing sound. You look behind you to see a floating, horned beast head followed by the Aspis’s contingent of mining constructs! You take a moment to ponder the strange sight before you remember that the creature is a doru, the least of the divs. Divs arise from corrupted genies exiled to the depths of Abaddon, and their ancient hatred of mortalkind leads them to despoil all that which mortals create. But doru in particular are obsessive gatherers of secrets and able to become invisible whenever it suits them; it would have been a simple matter for the creature to learn the constructs’ secret commands. But that still doesn’t completely explain its actions. You don’t have more time to consider the implications—now is the time to fight!

DURING THIS SCENARIO
DURING THIS SCENARIO
If your combat check has the Bludgeoning, Fire, or Slashing trait, subtract 1 from each die you roll.
If you move in a step other than your move step, recharge a card.

Villain

Henchmen

You also each gain a power feat for completing your second scenario in this tier.

REWARD
For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 spell in her deck with the spell Remove Curse. At the end of each scenario, return the spell to the game box. Each character draws an item from the game box. Adventure Card Guild characters may choose a bonus deck upgrade.

Development:
There have been some close calls, but your reconnaissance has been productive so far. You have a map of the dig site, and you’ve learned that the Aspis are employing modified mining constructs to assist with heavy labor underwater. The damage they might cause in the process of excavating treasures could be irreparable.

As you are getting ready to leave Merai’s thankfully vacant tent, a Taldan woman in a foppish hat suddenly appears, grabbing one of the water breathing potions Merai was brewing. You and the new intruder stop and stare at each other, each realizing you can’t make a commotion or you’ll both be caught. She turns and runs, and you grab potions of your own and pursue.

These are the cards I have recorded as you acquiring, with the items from the reward already added, let me know if I'm missing something:

Explorer's Staff (Weapon C)
Acid Jet (Spell C)
Acid Jet (Spell C)
Augury (Spell B)
Fireblade (Spell B)
Speak with Dead (Spell 1)
Unshakable Chill (Spell B)
Viper Strike (Spell C)

Staff of Minor Healing (Item 1)
Twitch Tonic (Item B)
Falto (Ally C)
Shock Lizard (Ally B)
Blessing of Horus (Blessing B)
Blessing of Nethys (Blessing B)

You are correct about attempting the recharge check being optional.

The last rays of sunshine fade to blue dusk as you head down the slope toward the beach. The ship dubbed the Bonaventure is anchored in deep water, where crew members hoist black sails in preparation for a stealthy getaway under cover of night.

REWARD
For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 item in her deck with the item Compass and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 ally in his deck with the ally Camel. At the end of each scenario, return the cards to the game box.

Development:
Despite tangling with hostile creatures and equally hostile landforms, you’ve made it back to the streambed.

Your unlikely ally Siddique has had the worst of it, though. The ministrations of the slavers have rendered him unfit for the harsh environs. If you don’t reach safety soon, he’ll die without divulging the whereabouts of the traitor Pasha Muhlia al-Jakri.

There’s no more room for mistakes, so you backtrack to the most recent landmark and are careful to follow the course without further detours. The correct path eventually leaves you standing at the edge of the promised cove. You must find a ship to get passage from this benighted land, or all your efforts will be to no avail.

Skizza should have triggered the Third Law. He had Acid Flask, which he could banish. It is basic, so he can put it back in his character deck when rebuilding.

Tup could have chosen to encounter Tarworks Master instead of the Caryatid Column. Let's retcon that. (Put back your Doghide Armor and roll the check to acquire to see if you got it.)

And Adowyn needs someone to volunteer a blessing for her check to defeat the Sand Creeper.

Tup get Scroll of Thoth

Arueshalae gets Helpful Haversack.

Grazzle gets Potion of Healing.

Athnul gets Feather of Maat.

Hold up. We need to shuffle Tup into the Sulfur Pits.

I am going to go ahead and build the Alchemical Laboratory and post it. But, you can not move or explore there until you've closed the Dilapidated Plaza.

I think Adowyn gets Curse of Vulnerability from that Death Hound.

And I don't think Grazzle examined the Ubashki Swarm, you just explored. So no need for that Stealth check or for anyone else to encounter the swarm.

When you examine this card, succeed at a Stealth 6 check or each character at your location summons and encounters an Ubashki Swarm.

The Ubashki Swarm is immune to the Mental and Poison traits.
If the Ubashki Swarm is not defeated by at least 2 on both checks, succeed at a Constitution or Fortitude 7 check or bury 1 card.

But, you didn't defeat it by at least 2 on that first check, so you will need to do the Constitution or Fortitude 7 check.

Looks like we are ready to begin. Don't forget to discard the top or bottom card of your deck at the start of your turn if you are at an open location. And closing a location heals you. Here we go...

3 at Falsin Deek, so 4 cards on offer:

Let me know if you want to take anything. Continuing with the next turn from where the previous scenario ended means Skizza is up first.

Don't miss the fact that you can't temporarily close locations. So if you are spreading out just for the villain, there is no need.

Next scenario details are posted in advance. Work out your upgrades, traders and starting locations.
