At This Location: When you would encounter a non-story bane monster or barrier, you may instead summon and encounter the danger. If you do, and do not defeat it, shuffle the original bane into its location; if you defeat it, banish the original bane.
Explore 1: Encounter Quivering Cube. Combat 12 or Craft 9. Reveal the Melted Blade.

Explore 2: Rakshasa! Combat 16, vulnerable to piercing. BYA Dex or Acro 6.
BYA Acrobatics 6:1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Now for the fight. Use Melted Blade, which is piercing. I need to use Varian’s Blessing of the Gods so I retain 3 cards to close the location.
Combat 12:1d8 + 4 + 1d8 + 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 + (3) + (1, 1) + 4 = 20
Scratch one Rakshasa! Just not behind the ears, because they like that.
Now, to close the Glade, I recharge The Melted Blade, Deconstructor, and Locksmith. ☹ But I heal 2 cards, so that is cool.
Glade is closed.
Zadim will move to the Barracks.

Doctor Davaulus:
Story Bane 2
Type: Monster
Traits: Bard, Human
To Defeat: Wisdom or Perception 5
THEN Combat 9
If you have the Human trait, the difficulty to defeat is increased by 1d8.
If undefeated, advance the hour.
Difficulty Increase b/c Zadim is human:1d8 ⇒ 8 That was predictable.
Okay, I can’t make a Wisdom or Perception 13. But Koren is here and he isn’t human, so it’s a Wisdom or Perception 5 for him. He will use his Blessing of Cayden Cailean.
KorenBot Wisdom 5:2d10 ⇒ (10, 3) = 13 Nice!
Now Zadim will fight the Doctor, combat 17. I will reload my rapier and recharge my double-chicken saber for sneak attack and discard my Blessing of Horus. And Koren will discard a card to assist.
Combat 17:1d8 + 3 + 1d4 + 1d8 + 2 + 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + (4) + (7) + 2 + (8) + (6) + 1 = 34 Maybe a bit of overkill…but it’s nice to win convincingly.
Zadim will banish the Quartermaster to close Slaughterhouse.
Then he examines the top of each remaining location and banishes any revealed allies (ignoring any triggers). Top card of Blood Pool is Bloodscent (how fitting). Top card of Barracks is the Attic Whisperer.
Then Koren and Zadim both move to Barracks.
Then Zadim will recharge the Leech to heal Koren. Heal Koren:1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Recovery
EOT: Reset Hand
[/ooc]
“A minotaur! It’s not here by accident, there must be…Ah, the Doctor here should be able to help us.” Zadim is entranced by Doctor Davaulus’s explanation of how he has come here to combat the plague. Koren, suspicious of this coincidence, notices the doctor’s hand slip to his rapier, just in time! With a yell and a shove, he shakes Zadim out of his trance. In an instant, Zadim’s rapier and saber are out. There is a quick exchange of attacks, then Zadim knocks his opponent’s weapon to the floor.
The doctor protests, “You don’t under—“ but doesn’t finish, as Zadim’s rapier punctures his throat.
Nor do I wish to. Your words are all lies. By Sarenrae’s flame, I judge you. Now be silenced.”

Combat 10:1d8 + 3 + 1d8 + 1 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (3) + 1 + (8) + 2 = 18 That counts for both checks, but since the first d8 was a 1, it counts as a 3 and I have to discard the Saber. So Zadim is weaponless again. And now the free damage.
Free damage:1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
Unreal. Discard Bronzed Leather and draw a card—Blowgun. 6 cards left in the location, let’s see if I can close it. 6 cards left:1d8 ⇒ 5 Zadim has a blowgun and little else. After all that healing, I’m again approaching death. And there are no more henchman in the Graveyard, so someone has to get through 3 more monsters. I’ll see how things stand next turn, but I’m likely to go looking for adventure elsewhere. The Graveyard has been absolutely brutal to Zadim.

Explore 2: Encounter Unseen Sentinel. This dude is bad news. I can’t make the Perception check and using my Gem of Physical Prowess is too risky—if I fail, I’ll have to discard my weapon. So I’ll just discard the Gem for the Force damage. (More free damage, how fun.) And I’ll reload my rapier and look for some help against the Combat 14. Varian has Vencarlo and Koren has Mountain Man, both of which could be used after the check if I fail. Combat 14:1d8 + 3 + 1d8 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (4) + (3) = 14 Close, but that’s all I need. And whew.

To Defeat: Constitution Divine Fortitude Knowledge 6
If defeated by less than 4, suffer the scourge Plagued. If undefeated, each local character suffers the scourge Plagued.
Okay, Constitution it is. Gonna need some luck. And the harrow gives me +1d4.
Constitution 8:1d8 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + (3) = 8
Well, okay, so I'm Plagued. Again.
Plagued:
While Marked:
At the start of your turn, each other local character must succeed at a Constitution or Fortitude 5+# check or suffer this scourge.
At the end of your turn, succeed at a Constitution of Fortitude 3+# check or bury the top card of your deck; if you succeed by 5 or more, remove this scourge.
Since it's not my turn and when my turn starts, I'll probably infect other characters, I'm going to recharge Silver Balladeer to banish a Curse displayed next to my deck. The Gnome bard sings Zadim back to health. Somehow.
