Tarlin smiles a genuine smile at Amaryllis' impromptu celebration. You fought valiantly, friend Aric! He notices the flicker of panic on the Red Raven's face and nods reassuringly. And your secret shall be forever safe with us.
random card on top, 1 barrier, 2 ally:1d2 ⇒ 2
Tarlin, clinging desperately to the chip rail (for all the good it will do in this maelstrom), comes face to face with the half-orc quartermaster, who is similarly trying not to be sucked into the void.
DC 5 Fort:1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10success
Cut-Throat Grok and Tarlin bond almost at once over trying to survive, the cleric grabbing the pirate's arm as she breaks loose and saving her from oblivion in the vortex. She nods her gratitude, then crawls back into the cabin below deck. Can't disagree with that approach, Tarlin notes. Discard Cut-Throat Grok (found) to explore again.
Just then Tarlin sees the hull starting to crack. Oh, by the Inheritor...here it comes...
Suddenly out of nowhere, Amarylli's pet fire snake emerges from his pack. When did the little gnome give me that...?
Use Fire Snake to use Divine skill in place of INT/Craft check. Recharge Blessing of Iomedae 3 for an extra die, then ask for one of Amaryllis' Blessing of the Gods for an additional d12.

Thanks to Amaryllis, knowing what's upcoming. No real chance to defeat the Port Peril Corsair check increased by 14 since I don't have any Swashbuckling trait. Thus, reveal, then discard, Greatclub +3.

Start of turn: bury Pearl of Wisdom.
As Tarlin stares into the maelstrom, he is thoroughly unsurprised to see the crossed mantis claws of Achaekek flash in front of him. It takes him a heartbeat to realize that it's a bit of a flag from a previously destroyed vessel about them. Iomedae works in mysterious ways, he thinks to himself, grasping the bit of cloth. Judgment has found the follower of the Mantis God.Auto-succeed on Divine 5 check to acquire Blessing of Achaekek. Discard Blessing of Sivanah to explore again.

Almost at once he picks out a scrap of parchement lodged in one of the pulleys, and quickly identifies it as a scroll, which he secures to clear the blockage. Auto-succeed at check to acquire Instant Armor. Recharge Blessing of Iomedae 2 to explore again.
The winds pick up suddenly, and Tarlin is buffeted about by the hurricane force. Cannot make the DC 13 WIS check without a blessing, and I don't thing it's worth spending right now. Very glad I displayed the Impossible Bottle though. Whew!

BoT Location power: Amaryllis moves to Helm .
With a tip of his helmet to the gnome, Tarlin takes his leave and heads to the Bow. Top card of Bow is card #3, Venomous Pike +2.
Tarlin sees a curious piece of metal that makes up the bow flagpole. Is that...? He asks for a hand from his temple accompanist. Discard Exalted for an additional 1d6.

Off-turn: Tarlin recharges Invincible Breastplate for damage.
The spikes only pierce a little flesh, so the cleric looks much worse off than he actually is. He is grateful for his armor, and grateful for Hayato's valor.
Location power: Tarlin will examine the top card at Helm: it is a Benevolent Buckler.
Tarlin looks over to the Helm and points out a shiny buckler to Lini. He then climbs the rope ladder to the Crow's Next to try and—

At the end of Amaryllis' turn: bry Charm Animal to draw a random Animal from the box. Draw Pteranodon (Ally 4).
Beginnning of Tarlin's turn: give Pteranodon to Amaryllis.
Tarlin delves further into the Shrine of Besmara. Such a contrast to The Inheritor, yet they aim for many of the same goals.
With some distaste, Tarlin discovers that not all in the Shrine to Besmara is well: this cloth has a red serpent's head on it, which he knows to be the symbol of the archduke Geyron, lord of heresies. Auto-succeed on Divine 5 check to acquire. He refuses to leave this just lying about for an unsuspecting person, so he disposes of it properly. Discard to explore again.
An ancient book, describing a massive meal for a dozen or more! How curious, the image here shows them all on the same side of the table. That just doesn't make sense... Cannot make DC 13 Divine check, banished.

Tarlin has no cards in hand for the BYA at Fort Hazard. Draugr Captain has a party on his head.
Move to Shrine to Besmara.
Tarlin, beaten and bloodied, makes his way to the Shrine to Besmara, hoping to find a bit of respite. Instead he finds a disagreeable mercenary. Was told I might find one of you lot here, he sneers. I'll be colllecting that bounty on your head!
Now is not the time to F!*% with me, the cleric thinks, raising his fists.

Tarlin sets sail for Shark Island. Ho, there, Hayato! The cleric is quickly informed that "Ahoy" is the proper vernacular, and Tarlin again wonders why he is on the high seas in the first place. :-)
He encounters an Enemy Ship!
1d14 ⇒ 9Wavecrest
Checks vs. ships increase by open locations, so DC 10+2 WIS check. Recharge Blessing of Iomedae 1 with power feat and request Amaryllis' Blessing of Pharasma (recharges due to matching top card of Blessings deck, then she recharges a random card in her discard pile for playing a blessing on Tarlin's combat check).
DC 10+2 WIS:1d8 + 3 + 1d8 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (3) + (4) = 12Whew, just made it!
Tarlin will opt to seize the Wavecrest, which he is sure to regret the next time he encounters something with the Task trait. LOL
Just as he boards the defeated pirate ship, a Hammerhead Shark emerges from the water, intent on a simple lunch!
Check increases by adventure deck number, so DC 9+6 Combat. Reveal, Spellsword +2. Recharge Blessing of Iomedae 2 for an extra d10 on the check.
Shark Island closed. Discard Invincible Breastplate to return Greatclub +1 to hand, then recharge Greatclub +1 to recharge 1d3 ⇒ 2Divine Blaze from discard. Reset hand and end turn.

Tarlin, well prepared, handles the Ambush with aplomb.
DC 8 Divine to recharge:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11success
Free explore for defeating Ambush.
Rising from the depths is a massive whale...except it is not quite alive. Ugh. The Inheritor hates undead.
BYA (sorry, Amaryllis): Combat dmg:1d4 ⇒ 3
Reveal, then discard, Divine Blaze. Request Amaryllis' Blessing of Pharasma (which is recharged) for two additional dice. Amaryllis then recharges a random card from her discard for playing a Blessing on Tarlin's Combat check.
AYA: structural damage:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 reduced by 2 for displayed Impossible Bottle, discard Greatclub +1 and Chainmail of Cold Resistance for other 2 points.
If Amaryllis cannot avoid the Combat damage, Tarlin will cast Major Cure on her before resetting hand and ending turn. If not, Tarlin will cast it on himself.
Tarlin sets sail into Scar Bay and almost at once is beset by another Captain, this one of the Pirate variety. Not wholly unexpected in the Shackles, of course.
BYA: recharge Pearl of Wisdom. Combat check increased by adventure deck number (6). Display Impossible Bottle. Reveal, then discard, Icy Hooked Hammer +1. Request Aric's Blessing of Abadar (recharges, and then Aric recharges a random card from his discard for playing a blessing on Tarlin's Combat check). 94% chance is quite solid.

Oh, yeah, Skill feat. Whoops. Let's go with CON +1.
FYI, all: I am going to be very spotty the rest of this week. We're closing on a house tomorrow (equal parts scared and thrilled to death), and have multiple appointments on the schedule as a result.
I am fine with anyone botting if they would like, or can recuse for this if that's prrferred.

Tarlin follows Hayato to Mancatcher Cove. Is this yours...? he asks, holding out a Greatclub +1. When the samurai shakes his head no, Tarlin tucks it away for later. Discard for heal power feat.

Tarlin bows with respect to Hayato as the samurai slices through the Jungle. Impressive, he thinks to himself. Most impressive.
Location increases DC to acquire Blessing of Abadar. Recharge Blessing of Iomedae for an extra die. DC 5+6 Divine:1d8 + 4 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (6) = 12success
The coin he has found half-buried in the earth bears some runes along its face...
Discard Exalted to explore again. Recharge Pearl of Wisdom to roll WIS die instead of the normal die on this check. Discard Find Traps card for two extra dice.
DC 10 WIS check (in place of INT):1d8 + 3 + 2d8 ⇒ (3) + 3 + (5, 6) = 17success
He quickly figures them out, however.
DC 8 Divine to recharge Find Traps:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5nope
Discard Blessing of Abadar (found), request Amaryllis' Blessing of the Gods and Aric's Blessing of Zon-Kuthon on close.
He meets a lovely half-elf bard, but is tongue-tied by her beauty and she pays him no mind at all. Auto-fail first check to acquire, so no point in going any further.
Discard Blessing of Sivanah to explore again.
His ears still pink from his encounter with Tessa Fairwind, he almost doesn't notice the Giant Sea Anemone that reaches out for lunch until it is too late!
Reveal, then discard, Spellsword +2. Recharge Blessing of Iomedae 3 with power feat ability. 90% chance is betting odds, right?

Recharge (instead of discard) Blessing of Iomedae 2 for 2 CHA dice, request Amaryllis' other BoP, which recharges a random card in her discard pile for playing a blessing on my CHA check.
Whether by accomplished seamanship or by blind luck, Tarlin manages to drive off the raiding vessel.
That could have gone a LOT worse. Sorry to take all your blessings, Amaryllis, but at least one got recharged. And no structural damage, which was my real fear!
Recharge Invincible Breastplate while resetting hand and end turn.
