Mavaro continues to plumb the depths of the Thassilonian Dungeon, and discovers the Pit of Malfeshnekor. It offers him a tantalizing choice, and with the Sihedron Medallion in hand, it seems almost worthwhile...

3 Random Items from the box please

Mavaro's brand new Helpful Haversack presents a Blessing of the Samurai, that he takes gratefully. In attempting to acquire both spells he discovered before, he will need the help. First is Detect Evil...

Wisdom 4: 1d8 ⇒ 7

With a well-recognized script, Mavaro easily acquires it, then uses a Blessing to proceed to Lightning Touch. He discards Possession to recall his Arcane skill, putting Mind Thrust on top.

Arcane 4: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Mavaro's half-remembered Arcane skill is insufficient to decipher the Lightning Touch. Forging ahead, he banishes Detect Evil to reveal a Warlord! He discards Banner to search his deck for his last Blessing of the Samurai and places it on top, recalling his Melee skill.

The Missing Eye is brought to bear upon the enemy...

Combat 10: 2d8 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (6, 8) + 3 - 2 = 15

Wiping his blade clean, Mavaro takes a moment to slow his breathing.

Of course, when I said Dilapidated Plaza in my last post, I meant Thassilonian Dungeon. Need more sleep.

Mavaro treads lightly into the Dilapidated Plaza, and comes across a Spyglass.

Perception 4: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Hefting it with his off-hand, it seems serviceable. He takes a look, extending it to its limit...

discard Spyglass to examine top two cards here.

Two rather unremarkable spells land upon his eye, Detect Evil and Lightning Touch. He expresses his disinterest by ending his turn.

Mavaro muses that perhaps this expedition was not a complete waste of time, as he fingers the embossed casing of this Sihedron Medallion. It intrigues him with possibilities, and suggests that Clinging Venom may be of more use in the future than Possession. Mavaro also feels as though the Medallion has also expanded his mind in a meaningful way (Intelligence +1).

Given the option, Mavaro heads for the Thassilonian Dungeon, as its plunder seems the most suited to his desires.

Mavaro curses for the lack of a club to beat the Ancient Skeleton down, and instead draws his old friend, The Missing Eye, to deal with this nuisance. (Recharging The Missing Eye to add 1d6 +1, Skeleton is +3 due to Slashing)

Combat 11: 1d8 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + (4, 4) + 2 = 14

As the animated bones fall, Mavaro is deeply disappointed in the lack of useful parts they provide.

Mavaro follows the path of carnage in the Red Raven's wake of justice to the Old Light, and proceeds to poke around, finding a scroll of Sleep. With Possession still on top of his deck, Mavaro improves his Intelligence with his Knowledge.

Intelligence 4: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Finding no immediate use for Sleep, Mavaro tosses it aside and looks amongst his tools for another clue...

After marveling at the sheer volume of pig's blood that the Raven's attack produced, Mavaro strides forward seeking a new discovery. His curiosity is rewarded, as he delicately removes a thin stoppered bottle from its nook amongst the straw and hay. Mavaro dismisses his Mind Thrust to search his deck for Possession, then places it on top of his deck to boost his Intelligence to equal his Knowledge skill.

Intelligence 6: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Having successfully added the Potion of Ruggedness to his arsenal as the obviously most interesting item here, Mavaro plops down cross-legged and becomes absorbed in the aged label, attempting to decipher its ancient text.

Aaaand scene.

Mavaro takes a gander at the uncovered Battered Chest, and determines that it definitely needs to be brute forced open (thinking about his Portable Ram on top to gain 1d8+1 on Strength).

Strength 8: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Obviously this doesn't have any bone cogs in it, otherwise Mavaro would have been more motivated to open it. (Banish barrier)

Without a way to explore again, Mavaro discards Flight Arrows and draws Portable Ram, revealing a Heavy Wooden Shield on top of his deck.

Mavaro will begin searching in the Farmhouse for ancient bone cogs... or was it cone bogs...
