There are three of these cards and four of us who want them. I did take the Ally 2 last time we only had one, so if I have to go without I don't mind too much. I assume there will be more opportunities for each.
I'll take Spell for my bonus card feat.
Actually now that I think about it, if I don't take the spell 2 then I can pick up Charm Animal instead, which would be pretty nice and help us get more ally upgrades in the future as well. I already rolled but I might just pass on deck upgrades.
Flip Blessing of Hshurha, then explore the Chapel.

If any die rolled in your check to defeat is a 2, count it as a 1. If undefeated, after you act, the Devilfish deals 1 Poison damage to you.
I'll display Aspect of the Hawk and attack with Survival. It's a spell with the Divine trait so I'll also draw a card: Snow Leopard.
Combat 10:1d8 + 5 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (2) + 2 = 13 The 2 becomes a 1, but it's still enough to defeat.

A vicious plant rises up from the ground and tries to strangle her. Zova briefly drops out of hawk form and instead goes to stab the vines with her spear, asking a nearby gecko to add a small burst of flame to assist. Reveal spear to attack with Survival, and gecko to add 1d4.
The plant is incinerated and Zova keeps digging further into the chapel.

Unfortunately, the big cat brings it back in her mouth and the slobber has soaked through the parchment. The magic has become useless. Zova lands and takes a few moments to preen her feathers.
To end my turn I'll recharge Aspect of the Hawk, and reveal Cloud Puff to draw up to 8.

It's the last card, so the curse is displayed by the scenario. To make sure I can get the closing check, I'll discard my blessing and recharge Fox as well for the extra d4.
Wisdom 7:2d8 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (8, 5) + 1 + (2) = 16
Location is closed, so I'll recharge both blessings from my discard.
Zova knows she is uniquely positioned to purify the environment here. She focuses intently and performs a brief ritual to lift the curse. After a few minutes pass she is confident that she has succeeded and stands with a lightened heart, ready to press on.

Even if I defeat this barrier it's just going to shuffle back in anyway, so I'm going to display Aspect of the Frog, and then recharge Arboreal Armor to evade the encounter. Too bad it's not an obstacle or a trap, or I could have put it on the bottom of the deck.
Zova admires Celeste's shiny new pearl for a few moments, but then feels a sinking sensation that something horrible is about to happen. Before the whatever-it-is has a chance to take effect, Zova shifts into the form of a frog and leaps away, guiding her teammates deeper onto the island. They should get what they came here for quickly and leave.
To end my turn I'll recharge Aspect of the Frog and then reveal Angelstep to draw up to 8 cards.

But before she even has a chance to look around, another haunt manifests around her.

Zova somehow talks the spirit down, but just as she's doing so she gets a familiar sinking feeling of being watched. She quickly shifts her form to a tiny mouse and dashes away into a darkened corner where the nasty pirate won't find her.
The location is closed, so I discard my Arboreal Armor. Koren also needs to discard something. Last I'll use Angelstep to heal myself.

Suddenly a spectral form rises from behind a pile of crates. A pirate from beyond the grave wishes to defend his treasure. Zova dodges away from the haunt's outstretched arm, though she feels an unnatural heaviness.
Display the haunt next to my character, and I'll recharge Snow Leopard to add Survival to the check to close.
I'll collect the cards stashed at the location: Pepperbox, Liquid Ice, and Benevolent Buckler. Then summon Knuckles Grype.

Another pirate leaps out of a corner, a very living one this time. In the process of stashing the new weapon, Zova lifts it and peppers the pirate with several consecutive shots. It's enough.
To end my turn I'll discard the Benevolent Buckler, then draw up to 7.

To Defeat:

Knowledge 7
The difficulty to defeat this barrier is increased by the adventure deck number of the current scenario, if any.
Each character may attempt at a check to defeat this barrier. Each character may recharge any number of allies; for each ally recharged, add 1d4 to that character's check. Each character that succeeds may add a random item from the box to her hand. If any character succeeds at the check, the barrier is defeated; otherwise, it's undefeated.
After all the practice they've had recently, Zova has no trouble steering the Feathered Devil around dangerous waters.

To Defeat:
Combat 10
The difficulty of the check to defeat is increased by the adventure deck number of the current scenario, if any.
Armed to the teeth, a mercenary has survived both wars and reckless adventurers.
I'll use Strength to attack, and recharge Raven to add my Survival skill + 1. Also reveal Fire Gecko to add 1d4 and Fire.
Unfortunately she's so focused on navigation that she doesn't notice the more mundane dangers of a hired knife in her back until it's too late. By the time she whirls around, he's already gone.
Boo! I discard the Fire Gecko, Aspect of the Mouse, and Blessing of Kelizandri. Then discard Blessing of the Ancients to examine and explore and hopefully make something of this turn.
Next card:1d10 ⇒ 8
Emerald of Dexterity:
Item B
Traits:

To Acquire:
Dexterity 7
Recharge this card to roll your Dexterity die instead of the normal die on a non-combat check.
Dexterity 7:1d8 ⇒ 3
She bends over and picks up a bauble that the man must have dropped, but it doesn't look actually valuable, so Zova tosses it aside.
I'd like to get a couple of those cards back so I'll bury Angelstep to heal.
Angelstep healing:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Everything in discard shuffles back in. Then I'll recharge my Fox to aid the recharge check.

Celeste's turn: draw a card (Blessing of the Green Faith)
My turn: flip Blessing of Pharasma. Move to the Raker Shoals and explore to encounter the villain.
Zova looks around at her teammates. They have steers clear of every shipwreak blocking their path. The time has come for a final reckoning with that undead pirate captain.
Whalebone Pilk:
Villain 2
Type: Monster
Traits:
Undead
Captain
Pirate
To Defeat:
Combat 17
THEN Strength
Divine 12
Whalebone Pilk in immune to the Mental and Poison traits.
Before you act, succeed at a Constitution or Fortitude 8 check or bury 1d4 cards from the top of your deck. Then summon and encounter the ship Deathknell.
If Whalebone Pilk is not the only card in a location deck, he is undefeated.
I will use Cloud Puff to avoid the BYA check and not summon the Deathknell.
I'll have Lem use the Silver Flute to help all checks this turn, and Koren play Judgement Light to add 1d8 for the combat check. I will display Aspect of the Hawk and then attack using Dexterity (1d8+1d6+2), discard my Compass to add another d6, and then recharge Snow Leopard to add my Survival skill (1d8+5). I also get a d4 for the adventure reward against an undead bane.
Lem can auto-succeed at the Divine check, and then the villain is the only card left in the location deck, so he is defeated. We win!
Zova lets out a raptor's scream as she shifts into a hawk and plunges at the pirate. They have met far too many undead pirates. Maybe if she can take this one out, they'll be done with them at last! Fueled by the support of her comrades, Zova uses her airborne advantage well and claims victory.
Under Blessing of Achaecheck: SOT structural damage; I will recharge Master-at-Arms to reduce it to zero. Explore the Raker Shoals.

After playing this card, if you do not have the Arcane skill, banish it; otherwise, you may succeed at an Arcane 4 check to recharge this card instead of discarding it.
Intelligence 4:1d6 ⇒ 6
Zova feels as though they are closing in on the leader of the pirates, and pulls out a set of unnaturally heavy armor. When she discovers a scroll of protective magic she holds onto it, rather than tossing it aside as she might normally have done.
Discard Blessing of the Ancients to examine the location and explore.

Strength 6:1d6 ⇒ 3
Her suspicions are confirmed when Zova notices a pirate-like weapon sitting unattended nearby. It is entirely too suspicious - probably cursed - so she leaves it alone.
Discard Thylacine to explore again.

If defeated, add 1 plunder card from the box to your hand; you may immediately attempt to close the location this henchman came from.
A ship was wrecked here; unsurprising given the dangerous nature of these waters. Zova expertly guides them past safely, but doing so points their bow directly at a large cliff that she didn't notice until just now. "Brace for impact!" she shouts to the crew.
Closing the location deals 4 structural damage. I will recharge Fire Gecko, and discard Chain Mail and Arcane Armor since they're pretty useless for me. Lem can discard one card according to Hangout chat.
I'll examine the top card of Shipwreck Graveyard: it's a Shipwreck.
Plunder to add to my hand:1d6 ⇒ 5Ally

Isn't that nice :)
Location is closed... except the Villain is here!
Zova is congratulating herself on a job well done, when she catches sight of the undead captain lurking nearby, just waiting to pounce on them. He was here after all! She escapes to safety.
I will discard my Wendifisa Spear to move back to Windward Isle and bring everyone with me. I draw my Compass, and Lem and Koren can each draw a card if they wish to. End my turn with a reset back to 7, and I'll reveal Cloud Puff to make it count as 8.

Before turn: recharge Blessing of the Green Faith for Yoon.
Under Blessing of Gorum
Zova cheerfully greets her allies as they arrive, first Yoon and then Lem and Koren. "Here, take this scroll," she says. "I'd hate to waste it."
Give Cure to Lem - or Koren, but it probably makes more sense in Lem's hand so it can be recharged or used as needed. Then I'll explore the Tower.

Discard this card to explore your location. Add the Swashbuckling trait to your combat checks during this exploration.
Examine the top card of the Shipwreck Graveyard: Pirate Hunting.
Now I attempt to close the location: recharge Snow Leopard to add my Survival skill.
She notices a stranded pirate clinging to a piece of driftwood, and diverts her path enough to lead him to safety. Then she quietly creeps away before any more pirates, friendly or not, notice that they're there.
End turn: draw up to 7. I'll examine the top two cards of the blessing deck: they're both Blessing of Sivanah so it doesn't matter.

Zova begins her search by sailing carefully into a fog-shrouded area. No wonder ships become wrecked in this place. Suddenly out of the mists an enormous aquatic creature lunges out. Zova swiftly shifts into an air-borne form to avoid its attack and strike out herself.
Display Aspect of the Hawk, then attack with Survival.
Recharge Blessing of the Ancients to examine... Magic Weapon, which triggers the location to shuffle. Then explore again.
Zova thinks she sees a scroll case bobbing along on the water, but then the fog shifts and it's gone. Perhaps it was an illusion.

I might be interested in the Totem Necklace loot, only because I don't have many items I care about anyway and sometimes it's nice to get thematically-appropriate cards from the box. But if anybody else wants it, go ahead.
Skill feat: I'm torn but I guess I'll boost Wisdom again.
Zova takes one last look around Lonely Island. Having cleared it of evil influences, it looks like it would make a good home for one of her creatures. She bids farewell to her reptile friend and sets him loose.

It is the Hour of Gozreh. Gozreh wills that I close this location. I'll do my best.

Zova strikes down the evil mer-creature as swiftly as the other beasts of the sea, and then shifts into the form of a frog so she can dive in between tree roots and sea-water and make sure everything has been taken care of in the swamp.

I'll display Aspect of the Mouse and then use it to add 1d6 to my non-combat Dexterity check (since I don't really need that card in my hand right now anyway).
Dexterity 6:1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + (3) = 11

Abruptly she comes face to face with a much larger cousin... and then another, and another. She pulls the trigger of the gun and fires blindly into the swarm.

The miscreant tries to make off with her fox friend, but Zova tosses dust in the man's eyes to confuse him and stabs with her spear. The fox nips at his heels in revenge.

Zova's eyes widen as a massive form rises out of the water. They come that big, do they?! She anxiously lifts her spear and prepares to heave it at the ogre.
This time I'll use the spear to attack with Strength, and recharge Raven to add my Survival skill.
The spear cleanly pierces his heart and the creature dies in one blow. Zova goes to retrieve her weapon, but notices a frothing in the water all around. The sharks are starting to gather, drawn by the blood in the water no doubt. She navigates to safety.
Recharge Compass to move back to Mangrove Swamp and examine the top card: Becalmed.
She looks to the sails, and gets a sinking feeling that the wind is gradually dying down. Will they be stuck here? She's struck by a sudden fear that she'll never see home again.

In general if someone is at my location then I will move with them, unless it's to a location with a nasty start-of-turn effect. I do think like Koren we're more likely to be spread out for this scenario.

Adding up the bonuses I have: discard my blessing, along with one from Yoon and one from Lem (Abadar would recharge). Also display Lem's flute and have him recharge another card for good measure.
A restless spirit suddenly appears off the port bow. It sends a wave of fear through the entire crew, but Zova sees the end goal in sight, and she steers the ship for all she's worth. Although pummeled by the haunt and by the remaining undead creatures, she finds the clear path at last. Has the rift been closed? She holds her breath in suspense...

I will use Dexterity to attack with Aspect of the Hawk, and then recharge Aspect of the Mouse to add my Survival skill as well.
Her dwarf caiman suddenly takes off running, and Zova quickly discovers why when its large cousin the crocodile comes bursting out of the water. Zova takes a few moments to admire its powerful form, before striking it down as well.
End of turn, recharge Aspect of the Hawk, and reset hand to 7.

Ugh, not this barrier again. I'll use Cloud Puff to avoid the BYA power; I will auto-succeed at the Survival 5 check to recharge after this encounter. First I'll recharge both of my allies and discard Blessing of Kelizandri as well.
Another silly goose has gotten itself tangled up. Zova directs the clever capuchin and the stalwart caiman to help as she climbs up and tries to undo the ropes so it can escape.
Together they manage to get it out. "And stay away from our ship next time!" she calls after it.
