Torn between helping Korundo and Athnul or helping Nok-Nok and Salim, Siwar decides to go where she can do the most good, to the Dowager Queen. Salim has already started some smooth talking, maybe I can seal the deal. Once there, Nok-Nok is looking a little greener than usual, so I give him some healing with a Restorative Touch. Then, to make things easier for all of us, I cast Divine Fortune. Naturally, that's when a Sea Scourge splooshes over the side and tries to eat me. Nok-Nok jumps in to fight the ooze, fortunately before any of its slim gets on me.
Well, then. Time for us to move on.

My allies are pretty meh. There are some nice spell 4s, but nothing I'm super amazed about. I have a decent Item 4. So my preference is: Item 4
I actually have a pretty nice Item 3, so I wouldn't mind that instead. For my power feat, I took the bolded section in this power: [X] You may recharge a card that has the Divine trait to examine the top card ([X] or top 2 cards) of a location deck at any occupied location ([ ] and during this examination, you may ignore any powers on the examined card.)
Getting my character sheet rebuilt. For my card feat, I've taken Blessing and added in a Blessing of the Spellbound. For my role, I've gone with Bone Diviner. The power feat I've picked is [X] You may recharge a card that has the Divine trait to examine the top card of a location deck at any occupied location. -crp
I'd like some opinions from you guys. I have the Add a Gun/Ammo boon and I'm considering adding it to Siwar. The boon lets you add a Weapon and an Item with the Ammunition trait to your class deck from the Gunslinger class deck (and upgrade it each tier). Now, most of the guns are nice because you can use them even if you aren't proficient with weapons, but Siwar doesn't have a card slot for a weapon. In order to do this, I'd be spending at least a Card Feat, and then if I'm doing that, I think I might spend a Power Feat on Weapon proficiency. Do you think that's worth it? I tend to keep Siwar out of fights, and you know how I play bards. Would this party benefit from Siwar carrying a Dragon Pistol in her pocket (and being happy to see you, of course)?
I move to the Sulfur Pits, where a well-made but discarded Alchemist Suit lies. I pick up it, examining it, and decide that it must have been discarded for a reason. I toss it back to the ground, and continue on, fingers wrapped around a Riding Horse totem. An undead Tekenu erupts from the ground, catching me surprise. With no weapons in hand, I grapple the creature and attempt to wrestle it into a boiling pit of sulfuric acid, whispering for the Blessing of Gorum as I do. After the creature dissolves, I take some time to rearrange my gear before proceeding.

Charlie, I enjoy having you in the game and don't mind waiting if you are busy. But if you don't say anything, we don't know if you are busy or just forgot, so I'm going to keep pinging you until you chime in, even if just to say "swamped right now, brb". Fair? :) That's quite fair. I just don't want to cause problems and bad feelings like we've had with previous players. -crp
What's the scenario reward of which you speak? I'm taking a Weapon for my card feat, grabbing Cold Iron Long Sword (1). Real talk: I know I haven't been on top of my turns as I should be. I do not want me to be the drag on the party, the one holding us back. I will try and be better, but there's a lot going on right now that's splitting my attention. If you would prefer I sit out, I will. -crp
Grazzle will also be taking Item 2 / Weapon 1: Ruby of Charisma (1) -> Gem of Mental Acuity (2)
. Wow, okay. I'll take Season of Tapestry’s Tides Reward #3 and save it for a rainy day. As for his power feat, I'm torn. All three options (Hand Size 7, +1 to heals, +2 to Attack spells) seem useful. -crp
In the reality where the alchemist doesn't want the Item 2, I'll take that. In every other reality, I'll put a bid in for the Weapon 1 or the Armor 2, depending on which one nobody else wants; I have good options for both. I'm resisting the urge to min-mix and I'm going to take Charisma +1 as my skill feat. . The boon eludes me. As for the trader, I'll join Damiel wherever he'd like to go. -crp
Having completed my trades with the cleric, I proceed up the path to the hill. Around the next bend, there are several areas of tall brush and rocky outcroppings that would make this an ideal spot for an Ambush. Just as I finish that thought, I hear rustling and realize that have, in fact, walked into an ambush. A Magma Spirit erupts out of the earth and charges at me, singing me with its heat and setting my banner aflame, rendering it useless. Enraged and embarrassed, I slash at the creature with my Naginata. As quickly as it rose, the spirit falls and melds back into the earth. Finding myself highly motivated, I discard my Riding Horse and channel the spirit of my faithful mount to push further up the hill. I hear a slow clapping come from just behind me as I head up, and turn to see the Raid Leader taunting me. I pray for strength and do an about face to meet this new foe. I hold fast in the face of his taunts, and sense the momentum of the fight move towards me. We stare at each other for a moment, and I lunge forward at him a fraction of a second before he draws his blade. I land a slicing blow along his side, but he remains standing. We whirl around to stare at one another again, my resolve holding while he bleeds onto the earth. Unable to restrain himself, he charges me and I wait for the perfect moment to strike. A cold wind rustles the leaves as we stand like statues, having both struck at each other. Silently, he falls to the ground, dead; I remain silent and still, savoring the moment. I take a moment to survey the area, scouting for any other signs there may be more to this location. I recall discussions about strategy and tactics with Tarlin over sake and ale, and try to clear my mind. I nod, certain the location is secure, then I reassemble my gear and descend down to meet my allies.
