Turn 17, under the Grand Lodge's Favor
Ruined Temple Card #1: Toxic Geyser. Yikes.
Peasant Tombs Card #2: Blast Glyph. TRIGGER - Autofail Intelligence
Cold Damage:1d6 ⇒ 5 - Bury my Fortified Breastplate to reduce damage to 0. Recharge my Reflective Buckler instead.
Zarlova can recharge a random discarded ally, if she has one. (I don't).
Hand Zarlova my extra Ring of Stony Flesh, for damage avoidance if nothing else.
I don't want to take care of either barrier, so I'm just going to wait here to support Z as needed, and plan to be ready to fight the villain next turn if Z gets a contract by then.
With my armor and ring, I've got 3d10+4+3d6 to get a 33 on a Fortitude check, and each blessing adds another d10. So 40%/70%/90% with 0/1/2 blessing dice.
Discard an extra set of armor and a weapon to draw 4 and hope for some support cards/blessings.
Which I completely failed to draw. Boo.

Free Exploration - Card #1: Vanth
BYA - Random Scourge:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 - Curse of Blindness. No immediate effect, so I'll ignore it for now and let cure it later.

Off-turn
Ezren healed me of my curses and discard
Then Ezren got me zapped:
Electricity Damage:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Poison Damage:1d4 ⇒ 4 - And with no armour around yet, my hand is discarded.
Villain - Remove cards:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 - Assuming that I can't just bury my two weapons from discard (converting the bury to a discard each time with my class power), I'll discard 2 from top of deck.
Attempt to close the Hall of Crocodile Kings Check to Defeat - Craft 15:1d10 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 - Nope. I take 2 Acid damage to my already empty hand.

Minor changes to my turn, because Adamantine doesn't help against scenario text.
Queen difficulty increase:1d12 ⇒ 8 - Means that instead of winning by 5, I'm losing by 3. Which means Xandhul jumps in
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 - And now I'm winning by 2 again, so I still win and take a scourge.
1d10 ⇒ 3 - Curse of Vulnerability, which i was going to get in a few minutes anyway so no further retcon required.
Free Exploration - Card #1: Enchanter
BYA - 1 Force Damage; No armour yet, discard Vision.
Reveal Trident for combat. Reveal Belt of Physical Might.
Check to Defeat - Combat 8:1d10 + 6 + 2 + 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 + (8) + 3 = 26 - Defeated
AYA - 1 Fire Damage; No armour yet, discard Nightwalker Isra
Discard Unwrapped Harmony to examine the top three cards
Card #1: Queen Neferuset - Adventure text, recharge Grappler's Mask and encounter.
Discard Trident for combat (because she's going to steal it anyway). Reveal Belt of Physical Might
Check to Defeat - Combat 27:1d10 + 6 + 2 + 1d8 + 3 + 1d8 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 + (5) + 3 + (7) = 32 - Defeated. No attempt to close text, sadly.
AYA - Bury Weapon. But my gametext lets me discard it instead.
Card #2: Mummy Lord - Adventure text, recharge Belt of Physical Might and encounter
My hand is entirely empty.
BYA - Summon Ecorche and encounter
Strangle it with my bare hands?
Scenario Rules - Difficulty increase:1d12 ⇒ 10 Check to Defeat - Combat 30:1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 - Xandhul jumps in to help!
Check to Defeat - Combat 30:10 + 1d8 + 1 ⇒ 10 + (5) + 1 = 16 - I mean, we knew that because there was no way that 1d8+1=20. But he still had to try. ;-) Defeated. I suffer curses. Vulnerability and Withering. And one more for failing to beat an Undead by enough.
Scourge Table:1d10 ⇒ 4 - Curse of the Mummy
Now, back to the main event. Radovan and Zarlova discard blessings to help.
Scenario Rules - Difficulty increase:1d12 ⇒ 5 Check to Defeat - Combat 28:3d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 1, 8) + 6 = 23 - Xandhul jumps in to help!
Check to Defeat - Combat 28:23 + 1d8 + 1 ⇒ 23 + (5) + 1 = 29 - Defeated! But not by 6, so scourge.
Scourge Table:1d10 ⇒ 4 - Curse of Daybane
Card #3: Symbol of Fortune. Put it back on top, because it's the only card left.
Then explore - Card #3: Symbol of Fortune
Check to Acquire - Wisdom 14:1d4 ⇒ 4 - Failed, banished
Draw 6 to reset my hand.

Location - Electricity Damage:1d4 ⇒ 2 - Reveal Reflecting Buckler to reduce damage by 2.
Discard Blessing of the Lord in Iron to explore - Card #2: Sensuret
Reveal Pillaging Mace for combat (extra die for exploring with the Blessing)
Check to Defeat - Combat 25:2d10 + 6 + 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7, 8) + 6 + (3) + 1 = 25 - Defeated
Defeated a monster with the Pillaging Mace, examine Card #3: Blessing of Anubis. Acquired.
Attempt to Close - Fortitude 9:1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 - Closed (reveal Reflecting Buckler to reduce Electricity Damage by 2)
Defeated Undead by less than 6 - Scourge:1d10 ⇒ 2 - Curse of Poisoning #2
Crap, just saw Ezren's comments about how I messed up my last turn.
Location Recharge:1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 - 1 card recharged from discard
1d5 ⇒ 4 - Blessing of the Father of Creation
Scourge:1d10 ⇒ 10 - Curse of the Mummy; okay, all damage that I've suffered since then has been reduced, so no retcon needed.
Draw 0 cards to reset my hand, and then poison away two of them

Update to above, apparently Maat was never available, so I'd have asked for Z's BotLoG before rolling. Which adds two more dice
BYA - Fortitude 13:7 + 4 + 2d10 ⇒ 7 + 4 + (2, 4) = 17 - Success
Also, since nobody can temp close and nobody has anything to help, I'll just proceed with the encounter.
Recharge Grappler's Mask for the first check.
Check to Defeat - Divine 6:1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 - Success
Discard Greatclub +3 for combat (recharging Breakaway Spear instead of the discard).
Check to Defeat - Combat 29/35:1d10 + 6 + 1d10 + 3 + 1d10 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (4) + 3 + (7) = 21 - Failed, Shirt Reroll the first d10
Check to Defeat - Combat 29/35:1d10 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 4 + 3 + 7 = 25 - Failed, Xandhul jumps in to help (and I take no damage because I'm at the Arena)
Check to Defeat - Combat 29/35:25 + 1d8 + 1 ⇒ 25 + (6) + 1 = 32 - Success! But not by enough, so I still suffer a scourge
Scourge Die:1d10 ⇒ 2 - Curse of Poisoning
Villain escapes, Arena is closed.

Curse of Poisoning:1d6 ⇒ 2 - Ring of Stony Grasp

Acid Damage:1d4 ⇒ 2 - And apparently this mistmail I grabbed doesn't actually have a "bury to negate all damage" option like I assumed it did. So... crap. Discard Mistmail and Blessing of the Father of Creation as damage.
Discard Unwrapped Harmony to examine the top three cards and then explore
Card #2: Sophronia - Undead, recharge Acute Senses and encounter. Auto-fail check to acquire. Top blessing is displayed, increasing Villain's combat difficulty.
Card #3: Devourer Assassin - Undead, but a villain so doesn't trigger the scenario text.
Card #4: Kalnaka - Undead, recharge Belt of Physical Might and encounter.

Check to Defeat - Combat 22:1d10 + 6 + 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 6 + (4) + 3 = 22 - Defeated!
Now, Devourer Assassin is put back (because he's the only card remaining), and I have no choice but to explore and encounter him
Explore - Card #3: Devourer Assassin
BYA - Fortitude 13:1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 - Ask Hayato for Blessing of Maat to pass
Everybody else needs to make Fortitude checks to see if they can help (or will lose allies), and then temp close their locations. I'll hold until all that is done. Then I need to pass both tests, and have nothing in hand except a Grappler's Mask and a Greatclub +3. And probably no help coming from anybody else, except Xandhul. So yeah, this'll be fun... ;-)

Turn 7, under the Favour of the Grand Lodge.
I'll examine the top card of each location, but it won't help. I'll decline to examine the top card of the Siege deck instead, because I know what that is and don't want to hit it. I don't have any Allies to recharge.

I forgot to make the roll here until after I finished the turn, and if I edit it in now it'll upset all the rest of my rolls. But at the start of my turn I autopass my Constitution check (1d10+3 >= 4).
Steeling herself against the oncoming swarm, Vika is ready and willing to destroy some monsters...
Free Exploration - Card #2: Elder Ifreeti
Reveal Greatclub +3 for combat. Topdeck Ring of Stony Flesh for +1d6
Check to Defeat - Combat 19:1d10 + 6 + 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 6 + (2) + 3 + (3) = 24 - Defeated
Draw a random Weapon (Axe of the Imperative)
As an elemental approaches her she leaps into action, slamming into it with her club. Once she has subdued it, she pulls out a Spyglass to examine the battlefield and get an eye on what's still approaching.
Discard Magic Spyglass to examine the top three cards
Card #3: Shaitan Ghul - Scenario trigger

Card #4: Vanth
Card #5: Sun Falcon.
Place Sun Falcon back on top, then Vanth.
She spies another elemental, this one a spectre of its former self, wrenched back from the dead. And he spots her as well, lurching towards her before she can even put down the spyglass, he knocks it out of her hands to a rough landing on the stone below. "You better not have broken that!" she hollers, taking a step back and swinging her club once more.
Discard Blessing of the Drunken Hero to explore - Card #5: Sun Falcon.
Reveal Greatclub +3 for combat.
Check to Defeat - Combat 11:1d10 + 6 + 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (8) + 3 = 23 - Autopass. Falcon is shuffled into the Blessings Deck.
Once the undead janni is dealt with, Vika heads off after the Sun Falcon that she'd spotted. She's heard that they can bring good luck, and it sounds like her and her friends could use a bit of that right now. She quickly manages to kill it and pluck a lucky feather, but the breeze blows it away. Hopefully, one of her friends will spot that soon, and the blessing that it brings.
End my turn, and draw 5 to reset my hand. Alllll the weapons.

Take it on barehanded, with help from the Cannonade (and Xandhul)

Retcon to the above:
Since I apparently can't do both the closing and the mace action, I'll choose to skip the closing to use the mace instead. So ignore everything after I acquire the Chakram. My hand remains the same, except the four cards go back from recharge into discard, and the location isn't closed so I'll roll through it the slow way. Only one barrier there at least, and lots of monsters, so it should be fun. ;-)
Hearing news from the Grand Lodge indicating that the Brass Golem is somewhere nearby, Vika pulls out her magic spyglass to pinpoint it's exact location.
Without fire protection right now, I'm a bit nervous about fighting him right away. So lets at least check first to see if there's something else here worth fighting/acquiring first. Discard Magic Spyglass to examine top three. Card #1: Brass Golem. Card #2: Plasma Ooze. Card #3: Chakram of Ruin. I can't really acquire the Chakram, and I'm definitely not trying to fight anything that says "immune to bludgeoning", but if I put the Chakram back 2nd (under the Golem) then my Pillaging Mace can at least do it's thing for me. ;-)
Spotting it, she hefts her mace and charges towards it.
Free Exploration - Card #1: Brass Golem.
BYA - Fire Damage:1d4 ⇒ 3 - Discard Greatclub +3, Dwarven Earthbreaker +1, Unwrapped Harmony for fire damage.
Discard Pillaging Mace for combat (recharge Greatclub +3 instead of discarding it). Ezren casts Disable Mechanism for +2d8.
Check to Defeat - Combat 24:1d10 + 6 + 1d8 + 1 + 1d4 + 2d8 ⇒ (8) + 6 + (6) + 1 + (3) + (5, 6) = 35 AYA - Fire Damage:1d4 ⇒ 1 - Discard Blessing of the Lord in Iron for fire damage.
Pillaging Mace examines the top card, Chakram of Ruin, and draw it into hand!
Although it burns her several times, it's not too much worse than the heats of the forge that she's used to, so she powers through and closes in enough to smash through it with her mace. As it shatters it rains hot metal down on her, which leaves little marks as it burns her skin. She digs through the ruins of the creature, finding one of the gears in it that would make a good throwing weapon for somebody, and hanging it from her belt.
Attempt to close, draw a random monster - Elemental Arachnid. Because of course it is. :-p
BYA - Discard Chakram of Ruin to ignore BYA power (recharge Dwarven Earthbreaker +1 instead of discarding it).
Reveal Pillaging Mace for comat.
Check to Defeat - Combat 17:1d10 + 6 + 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (2) + 1 = 15 - I would lose a combat and take much damage, so Xandhul jumps in to help
Check to defeat - Combat 17:15 + 1d8 + 1 ⇒ 15 + (7) + 1 = 23 - Defeated! And because we're in the Eternal Arena, I take no damage.
Location is closed.
Eternal Arena - Recharge:1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 - Recharge all three cards from discard.
As she turns to leave the arena, suddenly a vicious looking spider enters and hisses a challenge at her. As it rears back to spray her with its array of elemental powers, she hurls the gear towards it, leaving it momentarily stunned as she closes the distance and smashes into it again with her mace. Standing up from her charge, she sees it starting to loom over her... when suddenly her new friend, the rogue Xandhul leaps onto its back, plunging his dagger in and felling the creature once and for all. Thanking him for the assist, she stands up, brushes herself off, and prepares to leave the arena.
Draw 4 cards to reset my hand, and I'm done.

Further along, she finds somebody's old club. Never one to let a blunt object go to waste, she picks it up and straps it to her pack.

Scorched Ruins is closed, everybody can use the +1 die on weapon acquires for the rest of the game.
Sulfur Pits card #1 acquired, card #10 banished, the rest of the location shuffled.
Villain is not in the Sulfur Pits. I think that means he's in the 5-Pointed Sun? We've seen Henchmen everywhere else now, haven't we?
Free Exploration - Card #2: Giant Mummified Crocodile
Disard Pillaging Mace to fight, discard Blessing of the Father of Creation for an extra die.
Check to Defeat - Combat 21:2d10 + 6 + 1d8 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (4, 7) + 6 + (1) + 1 + (1) = 20
Ouch. I'll ask Zarlova to discard Blessing of Maat for +3, to succeed the check.
Discard Unwrapped Harmony to examine the top three cards, rearrange them, and explore. I'll put the weapon on top, and the henchmen second, then the barrier that nobody wants to encounter third.
Explore - Card #4: Striking Wing Scimitar
