This was a great experience, everyone. Besides being the only AP I've played from start to finish (and the only PACS character I've played all the way through), this game has also been a great comfort to me during some personally very challenging times. When we began playing my father had already been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer but we were still hopeful that with treatment he might have some years to live; unfortunately he died a year ago, a month after we all began the covid lockdown. When we began playing I already sensed that my marriage was over but I had not actually begun the divorce; I filed the paperwork about a month after we started and then had to continue sharing a home with her for over a year before the process was finally complete and she had moved out, through it all caring for my young daughter and trying to shelter her from the worst of the drama. Whew, it has been rough, especially with covid thrown into the mix. There were many, many times when our game was a truly wonderful respite from the unpleasant tension. Thank you all. Though paizo has sadly given up on PACS, personally the game still has a lot of interest for me (as I mentioned, this is still only the first AP I've completed) so I hope to keep playing as long as there are other interested players and will be delighted to play again with any of this group. And especial thanks to dinketry for running the game so superbly and smoothly, and to both dinketry and yewstance for their patience answering my many questions. Re the chronicles question - whatever is the most convenient for you, dinketry. Be well, everyone.

Off turn: Lem forgoes 1 healing from Skizza's balmberry bush (in order to avoid the risk of shuffling in Seek Quarry). It is the hour of Cayden Cailean's Revelry
Lem hears the clarion call of Cayden's trumpets calling them to victory. Or perhaps he just stops for a bit of Caydenite sustenance before continuing into the fray. Either way, he is ready for what awaits... Lem start of turn power: discard Icy Prison to draw Seek Quarry from discards. Move to: Location #16: Library
Location Power: When a monster is undefeated, shuffle a new monster into the location. Lem thinks that further research is needed and he heads to the library but wait, what is this?!? The library has been ruined! What madness is this? What depraved villains would desecrate a library like this?!? Lem begins to look around him but he is so troubled by the anti-bibliophilia of their foes that he finds himself spirally into madness - perhaps Lem once considered a career as a librarian? Perhaps he was expecting to find his latest chart-topping hit in the music section? Or perhaps he simply has outstanding library fines that he has not yet paid. Regardless, the sight of the ruined library pushes him right over the edge! Send Seek Quarry to Recovery to examine top 5 cards of location: Manananggal, Guardian Zombie, Vortex of Madness trigger!... Vortex of Madness:
CotCT Barrier 4 Traits: Curse Trigger To Defeat: Intelligence Perception 11 OR Wisdom Divine 13 When examined, encounter this barrier. If undefeated, suffer the scourges Frightened and Wounded, then a random other local character summons and encounters this barrier. Divine 13, varril, steal soul: 1d12 + 6 + 4 + 1d4 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 4 + (4) = 24 Scenario Power: When a bane is defeated and would be banished, recharge it into its location instead: Vortex of Madness is recharged in the location just beneath Emperor Scorpion. Continuing examination of the location... Mysterious Relic (!), Planar Rift (!). A wealth of choices!!! Seek Quarry: set aside Mysterious Relic. Shuffle Manananggal, Guardian Zombie, and Planar Rift and recharge them in the location beneath the Emperor Scorpion and the Vortex of Madness. With his friend Varril's help, Lem recovers his sanity and... there amidst the wreckage and ruins, what is this?!? Lem picks up the ancient and mysterious fragment. It appears that it may be the veritable lute pick of Shelyn herself! Or maybe not. In any case, it's clearly destined for a crate in the Grand Lodge's warehouse and Lem has no intention of surrendering it to anyone! Free exploration
Mysterious Relic:
Story Bane Type: Barrier Traits: Task Veteran To Defeat: Intelligence Knowledge 4+# OR Perception 6+# If undefeated, each local character moves to a random location and suffers the scourge Dazed. Ask Varian to recharge Safe Haven
Ruin: To close - Summon and defeat the danger.
Before Lem can leave with his prize, however, he'll have to contend with his arch-nemesis, Togomor, the bloatmage, tone deaf critic for the Absalom Gazette, who has been panning Lem's operas since Lem was only knee-high. Which he still is. But still. The Danger is TOGOMOR:
STORY BANE TYPE: MONSTER Traits: HUMAN, BLOATMAGE TO DEFEAT: COMBAT 20 OR ARCANE 10 POWERS
Before Lem has a chance to recite his latest limericks for Togomor, the noxious critic sends his minion to slip poison into Lem's beer! "I cry foul," cries the bard - "somethings are sacred!" BA is Diabolical Imp:
STORY BANE TYPE: MONSTER Traits: OUTSIDER, DEVIL TO DEFEAT: Combat 10 OR Arcane/Divine 7 POWERS Immune to Fire and Poison. Before acting, succeed at a Wisdom or Perception 4 check or this monster is undefeated. If undefeated, suffer the scourge Poisoned.
Harrow of Crowns: The difficulty of checks against summoned banes is increased by 4. I don't particularly care if I fail the BA check since the only consequence of the Imp being undefeated would be that Lem gets poisoned, which won't matter if we win the game this turn. On the other hand, if the scenario rule about swapping your location card when you don't defeat a bane applies here, then I would definitely not want to fail the BA. In that case I would ask Varril to recharge Phoenix Tail. However, I don't think the location card getting swapped mid-close attempt makes sense or is what is intended, so I'll continue on the assumption that failing to defeat the Imp would not change the current close attempt by virtue of the location card being changed. I'll also post a spoiler for the result with Phoenix Tail if the BR interprets it otherwise. BA Wis 4+4=8, steal soul: 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + (4) = 7 If BR says that the scenario rule about the location card changing if a bane is undefeated applies in such a way that it would disrupt or alter the current close attempt:
Ask Varril to recharge Phoenix Tail
Phoenix Tail addition to the above result: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Result: if Phoenix Tail was not used, Lem is now poisoned and the scenario rule about the location card getting swapped out when you fail to defeat a bane is invoked, but this does not affect the current close attempt which is already in-progress; the location power is also triggered (I think), causing a new monster to be shuffled into the location. If Phoenix Tail was used then Lem is not poisoned and the location card is not swapped. Harrow of Crowns: The difficulty of checks against summoned banes is increased by 4.
Lem hurriedly teaches the imp to never ever NEVER poison someone's beer, and then turns back to deal with his foe. But Togomor has not been idle! Bolts of lightning are flying everywhere, threatening to electrocute Lem and his friends. "No, no, I tell you! This is an opera, not a rave! How many times do we have to go over this?" Back to the Togomor's BA...then each character must succeed at a Dexterity or Acrobatics 13 check or bury a random card and suffer 1d4 Electricity damage.
Skizza, Varian, Varril, and Brielle all need to make a Dex/Acrobatics 17 check or bury a random card and suffer 1d4 electricity dmg. I'll need one of Varian's spells for the check vs Togomor so Varian please save one for me - thx. Despite Lem's entreaties, the bloatmage seems convinced that a rave is what is needed and the spirals of electricity are everywhere, in hideous neon. Lem knows he had better act fast to put an end to the party before it gets out of hand! Lem's attempt to defeat Togomor!: Harrow of Crowns: The difficulty of checks against summoned banes is increased by 4. Ask Varian to recharge one of his spells (either level 5 or 6) Arcane 10+4=14 (19), steal soul: 1d12 + 6 + 1d4 + 1d4 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (1) + (2) + 1 + 5 = 16 +1 more if Varian recharged a level 6 spell hour power: discard Toff to reroll d12 Arcane 14 (19): 15 + 1d12 ⇒ 15 + (9) = 24 Togomor is defeated. Ruin is closed! WE WIN!!!

Varian searches the location and draws Icy Prison (spell 5), unless the group feels that Ring of Energy Resistance would have been a better choice. Lem gazes directly into the heart of the Planar Rift. Whatever this thing is, it must like a nice tune. Right?
Cell Close power: bury an ally The Rift seems unmoved by Lem's flute playing so he tries tossing his friend the Wayfarer in and that does the trick. It was just hungry! Bury Wayfarer to close Cell!

During Lem's turn, Lem recharged a card for Lem-aid for Skizza. Realistically, this would definitely have been Venster Arabasti (and, conveniently, that makes hand reconstruction not too difficult). This means that when I had to reset my hand after the encounter with Sayona I would have drawn one additional card: Blessing of Abadar 2. This also means that I would not have been able to draw The Tyrant from the hourglass discard pile, which has no real effect on the board, but means that I remove The Tyrant from my hand and my deck. Finally, the recharged Venster would have been shuffled back into my deck when I healed myself on Brielle's turn; since Venster was one of the cards that was healed then, a different card would have been healed: randomly it is... Dominate. If Brielle also wants Lem-aid for her Fort/Con check Lem would have recharged The Dance. That recharged card would have later been shuffled into the deck when I healed on Brielle's turn, so the only practical impact now would be to add another card to my hand to replace The Dance from when I reset my hand. Hope that is all correct! " Lem wrote:

Starting location: Lem prefers to be with Varril. If I'm reading the scenario power correctly, when Varril attempts to move to Manor he'll actually be moved to a random location in the demiplane? If that's correct, perhaps he just wants to start at the Manor and take the penalty from Harrow of Keys?

Since Lem is alone at Pits (and I'm assuming we are going to try to stay separated due to the risk of Plague), I will not play Divine Fortune. However, if someone comes to Pits then Lem will play Divine Fortune as needed. Also, before Lem's next turn, he'll play Holy Feast to heal himself 3. I'm not processing this yet in case anyone wants to come to Pits to be part of that healing. Update, per discussion in Discord: Lem will plan to play Holy Feast after Varril's move step, giving anyone who needs it the chance to move to Pits before that for 3 cards healing. Of course it can also be played sooner if need be (e.g. if Varian can't wait until after his turn) and then redrawn to play on Lem's next turn. Lem wrote:

Lem upgrades:
Loot: same as before *except*
* Lem will take Staff of Greater Necromancy (swapping out Holy Water for it).
Looking for: tbd Lem Z. Deck Handler
Also, note that Lem only wants a Blessing 1 for one of his upgrades and I think we had a Blessing 1 in our regular pool. So that might make another of the Blessing 6 cards available for others.
Looking for: tbd Lem Z. Deck Handler
Despite the wealth of Blessing 6s available, Lem still just wants a Blessing 3 and a Blessing 1 (as a bonus upgrade) for his card upgrades. Nothing useful to spend a Blessing 6 (or 5 or 4) on.
Looking for: tbd Lem Z. Deck Handler
Lem draws Random Blessing 1 for the upgrade pile: Blessing of Abadar (Blessing 1).
Looking for: tbd Lem Z. Deck Handler
Ok, but grab it from where? The random cards in the last update?
Looking for: tbd Lem Z. Deck Handler
1. Draw a blessing to add to the upgrade pool (@Dinketry, do you want to do this for us or should we do it ourselves?). 2. Spend Hero Point on Skill Feat (#7) to increase Dex by +1 (Dex is now D8+2). Lem now has 3 xp at Tier 6 and a balance of 2 hero points remaining. 3. Upgrades (including a bonus upgrade) - Lem is interested in a Blessing 3 upgrade AND a Blessing 1 upgrade and not really anything else. (If no Blessing 3 is available then he is interested in two Blessing 1 upgrades, replacing Healing Light below with something else). Blessing 3: 1d1000 ⇒ 410 Replace Prayer with the Healing Light.
4. Loot: Lem would like to continue using the same loot as before (Soothing Word from Dragon's Demand, Darb Tuttle, and - possibly - Urgathoa's Gluttony). If he receives two Blessing upgrades then he will no longer want to take Urgathoa's Gluttony, so that would be available if anyone else wants it. In addition, Lem is very interested in taking the Staff of Greater Necromancy. If he gets it, he'll swap out Holy Water for it. In case anyone else also wants it:
