I mentioned this in Hangout but am repeating it here. I'm bowing out of this game.
Something has to give and I'm afraid it is this game. On the plus side you should be able to find another player without much trouble. Good luck all.
Grazzle arrives at the Catacombs and makes a treaty with the local elementals. Immediately afterwords he is ambushed by a smuggler demanding to know the whereabouts of some wild looking female gnome. Having never met the woman and not interesting in having his personal space invaded Grazzle reacts.
Whoever the lady is, This smuggler will bother her no more.

The culprit is in Ghoul Square and Grazzle goes to confront him. Urgraz:
Villain 2 Type: Monster Traits: Dwarf Antipaladin To Defeat: Combat 16 The difficulty to defeat is increased by 1d6. Before you act, each character at your location discards the top card of her deck. Damage dealt by Urgraz is increased by 2. As with most fanatics, Urgraz refuses to come quietly.
Grazzle chars him with Immolate.
After a suprisingly close combat Urugaz is defeated and comes quietly.

He is feeling cused but Ezran has him covered.
Grazzle rests after his ordeal.
During his rest he heals his wounds.

Seoni's Blessing of Pharasma discarded to add 1 die.
Grazzle continues to focus on hunting for clues. Sepulcher of the Servant Card 1: Emperor Cobra:
Monster B Traits: Animal Poison Basic To Defeat: Stealth 6 OR Combat 8 When the Emperor Cobra would deal damage to you, it deals 1 Poison damage to you instead. If the check to defeat has the Cold or Fire trait, add 1d8. He is accosted by a big snake but a flameblade should make short work of it.
Sepulcher of the Servant Card 2: Death Hound:
Monster C Traits: Animal Curse Basic To Defeat: Combat 7 THEN Combat 7 After you act, succeed at a Constitution or Fortitude 8 check or discard 1 card. If the results of both checks to defeat are greater than 11, you may banish a scourge displayed next to your deck; if not, suffer the scourge Curse of Vulnerability. Dogs are tougher.
Hearing of Seoni's injuries Grazzle digs deep for healing.
Not looking too good himself he travels to Sepulcher of the Servant to look for clues. Sepulcher of the Servant Card 1: Blessing of Bastet:
Blessing B Traits: Divine Bastet Gambling To Acquire: Divine 6 OR Stealth Disable Craft 8 Recharge this card to allow a character at your location to reroll 1 die on his check, or bury it to reroll all the dice; that character takes the new result. Discard this card to examine the top card of your location. If it is a bane, encounter that bane and the bane may not be evaded; otherwise, you may encounter the card. After you play this card, if it matches the top card of the blessings discard pile, you may search your deck for a non-blessing card that has the Gambling trait and draw it. He finds a trinket devoted to Bastet. He moves on. Sepulcher of the Servant Card 2: Wall Scythes:
Barrier B Traits: Obstacle Trap Slashing Basic To Defeat: Dexterity Acrobatics 4 OR Disable 6 If undefeated, you are dealt 1d4 Combat damage; then recharge your hand. Put this card on top of its location deck. He runs afoul a nasty magic wall.
Grazzle spends some time seeing if this wall is connected to the cultists.

Grazzle takes a moment to heal Ezran a bit. He then feels a sense of Déjà vu as he yet again peeks through glass for clues. Glass Pavilion Card 2: Collapsing Scaffolding:
Barrier C Traits: Obstacle Bludgeoning Basic To Defeat: Dexterity Acrobatics Perception 4 THEN Dexterity Acrobatics Perception 7 If the result of the first check to defeat exceeds the result of the result of the second check to defeat, you are dealt 1d4 Combat damage, then recharge your hand and end your turn. Seeing a potential danger, Grazzle does the right thing and tries to make it safe for others.
While he is safe he feels his efforts may cause problems elsewhere.
Glass Pavilion Card 8: Blessing of Nethys:
Blessing B Traits: Divine Nethys To Acquire: Wisdom Perception 8 OR Divine 5 Discard this card to add 1 die to any check.

Grazzle heads to the Glass Pavilion to search for clues. He finds a gross curse instead. Glass Pavilion Card 1: Curse of Teeth and Fleas:
Barrier 2 Traits: Trigger Curse Magic To Defeat: Wisdom Survival Divine 10 When you examine this card, banish it. If undefeated, display this card next to your deck.

So Ezran will take spell B for his card upgrade, replace whatever he upgrades to as the Deathgrip loot, and trade Walking Stick with Blessing of the Elements at the Sunburst Market.
This is my 3rd scenario at tier 2 so no feat upgrade. Not taking any card upgrades.
Things have not been going well and Grazzle puts some extra effort into the healing this time.
It takes a lot out of him so he heals himself.
Sensing we will soon have answers he then travels to Sepulcher of the Servant and explores the area. One of the evil henchmen attacks. Sepulcher of the Servant Card 1: Beheaded:
Henchman 1 Type: Monster Traits: Undead To Defeat: Combat 12 OR Arcane Divine 10 The Beheaded is immune to the Mental and Poison traits. Before you act, roll 1d4.

Everyone else is fully healed. Glass Pavilion is closed.
Grazzle's allies seem to have handled the panicking crowd with aplomb so Grazzle holds off on any healing and moves to investigates the Glass Pavilion. Glass Pavilion Card 1: Acid Splash:
Spell B Traits: Magic Arcane Acid Attack To Acquire: Intelligence Arcane 4 For your combat or disable check, discard this card to use your Arcane skill + 1d6. After playing this card, if you do not have the Arcane skill, banish it; otherwise, succeed at an Arcane 6 check to recharge this card instead of discarding it. Maybe this scroll is a clue.
Maybe not. He leaves the odd note where it is.

Yes and up to you. You MAY tier up after 4 scenarios. You MUST tier up after 6. Since you are a few behind everyone else it can't hurt to tier up after your 4th scenario unless you plan to play a special with Ezran.
There was only one item 1. Reiko mentioned in chat that he really wanted it and that he rolled higher then you. There was talk of making sure you got a item 1 but I think that was under the mistaken belief that there were two of them. So if Reiko relinquishes the item 1 to you then it is yours. Otherwise I would pick one of the spell Bs. The rest is correct though I would wait to find out what the setup is before using the market. Edit: Apparently a Mummified Cat (Item 1) was acquired but unlisted so there were two item 1s.
I don't plan to buy HV decks but it sounds like we tier up and get upgrades regardless. So I'll abstain from the vote since it doesn't effect me either way.
Looks like there is just 1 item 1 and the rest of the boons are B.
Feat upgrade +1 hand size.
Right. I forgot about that.
You should now have access to Sunburst Market. Since this is the first scenario you have succeeded at you should gain a skill feat. Presumably +1 Int. Up to Hawkmoon on the upgrade. Does the chronicle say what the upgrade is? In theory you would start with it. As for upgrades you are all about the spells. You want mostly combat spells since you really don't want to be fighting with a weapon. But there are a few nice utility spells. Prime spell candidates. Spell 1
Spell B
Of course you might not always win spell rolloffs so other good choices. Apprentice makes a passable Ally B
Edit: Just remembered. We are jumping straight to tier 2 after this. So here are some sweet tier 2 options. Wizard deck
Ultimate Magic
This is Grazzle's second scenario at tier 2 so taking +1 hand size for my feat.
Who plans to take Remove Curse? I plan to dump my weapon but with a 5 player party I wouldn't mind adding a 3rd Cure to my deck. Though anyone can grab a cure and eventually pass it to me freeing me up to take an attack spell.
These desert locations can be dangerous. Grazzle takes on his allies' wounds.
Then heals himself.
Romor has it the contact is in a Warehouse so Grazzle travels there to investigate. But he is accosted by a hostile Hydra. Warehouse Card 6: Fire Hydra:
Monster B Traits: Aberration Fire Basic To Defeat: Combat 7 Before you act, each character at your location must succeed at a Dexterity or Acrobatics 8 check or be dealt 1d4-1 Fire damage. If the check to defeat does not have the Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire or Poison trait, the Fire Hydra is undefeated.
The Hydra's breath is unimpressive. Grazle shows him better fire.
The Hydra was defeated but it attracted attention.
Which can no doubt be handled by Grazzle's allies.

Before you act, the Enchanter deals 1 Force damage to you. After you act, the Enchanter deals 1 Fire damage to you. An Enchanter attacks! Getting the drop on Grazzle she knocks out the Cleric of Nethys that was tagging along.
Grazzle responds with a Flireblade.
The enchanter is clearly losing but she burns Grazzle's scroll of Holy Light out of spite. Grazzle spends some time cleaning up.

He then heads to the Precinct of Left Eyes to help Ezran search.

Grazzle did such good work during the siege that they assigned him to help with issues in the dessert. This place will not be good for his skin. Grazzle's first assignment is to find allies. He begins at the Dye Market. He spies a Camel:
Ally B Traits: Animal Mount Basic To Acquire: Wisdom Survival 7 Bury this card to evade a monster you encounter. At the end of your turn, discard this card to move. Discard this card to explore your location. During this exploration, add 1d6 to your Survival checks. Grazzle moves up to it and whispers. "What do you know about slavers?" Possibly the camel is an undercover druid. Grazzle tries to convince it to move to a more secluded spot so they can talk.
The camel follows but proves to just be a camel. After spending multiple resources Grazzle is convinced the contact isn't here.

With 3 pure casters in the party and Mavaro able to cast spells, Spells will be a highly sought after upgrade. The simplest method is of course just rolling off for them. It might not be the best choice for the party as a whole but no one has to feel like they were treated unfairly. Alternatively we can discuss what upgrades we are planning on making and maybe the party can just agree that a specific upgrade is the best choice. Since the only upgrade that does anything for me is upgrading one of my basic attack spells to a better attack spell I'm not too concerned with getting spells until we hit tier 3. At that point there are 3 spells I'm looking at. Major Cure Cure but then I heal 1 card. Since my healing ability cures on a 2 for 1 basis it is more efficient to use my ability then cure myself so this is just a better cure. For me anyway since the higher recharge DC doesn't matter. Restorative Touch Cure but it also removes up to 2 curses. Not a full replacement for Remove Curse since it can't remove laws but it is very good. A bit awkward since I will sometimes have to choose between healing myself or decursing someone else. Create Mindscape Display it next to a location and until that location is closed everyone there adds 1d4 to any mental trait roll. For the casters that is 1d4 extra dmg. +1d4 to recharge spells. +1d4 to acquire allies, blessings, and so on.

Unfortunately PBP adores MM and I wouldn't be surprised if the next special uses it too. But yes I was just concerned with her opening hand. I'm actually playing her irl but we are only getting in about 1 scenario a month at best. Too many characters I want to play. Not enough games.
