[Outpost III] BR Dinketry's Legendary Night at Bloodthorne Manor

[BR Dinketry]

Hello and welcome to my LEGENDARY table for Outpost III: Putting on the Ritz. We will be playing the soon-to-be recently-released stand-alone adventure, A Night at Bloodthorne Manor. Come on in and introduce yourself, player!

Also, let's chat openly about what you'll be using to make your deck - class decks, add-on decks (i.e. ultimate decks), and the newly-released adventurer's packs are all valid options.

What's in YOUR deck?

[Iceman]

Remind me what Legendary means (no access to a box right now)?

I signed up for the level 4 version of the Manor with my level 5 Balazar, but I have not gone thru the process of converting him.
So, it's tempting to start a new character and dive in on hard mode. But I have no idea who that would be.

[BR Dinketry]

Legendary means that we add 3 wildcards and bump up the DC of the banes and the vault banes’ level by 1.

Come on and join in!

[Iceman]

Cool!
I've always wanted to play one of the versions of Yoon. Or Erasmus. Or Ak. Argh!

And there's always the idea someone floated of a party of Maznars running around, busting everything up.

[BR Dinketry]

Hello everyone. I believe that we will be a table of 4 for this Legendary play-through of A Night at Bloodthorne Manor. I wanted to be sure that you all were sure what you were going to play, as we have approximately one week remaining until kick off (March 30).

Note in the Campaign Info tab I have put all the information that you would need in order to make use of the newly-released Adventurer's Packs. The link in my first post above also has that info, but I'd like to think that I formatted mine in a way easier to read.

Now that I'm done patting myself on the back, could all those who are playing please check in once more and let me know what you're planning on bringing to the table? Thanks!

[EmpTyger]

Hi, I'm playing a Tier 2 Core Seoni. Sorry for the late arrival- was hoping for a Tier 2 Normal, but Legendary Tier 1 seems the next best thing! I am still finalizing my rebuild. (Which is right now looking like Arcane + Support + Occult?) But I'll be ready to start when the event launches.

I'm in Central-US, but I'll post throughout the day, often by mobile.
For my own enjoyment, I typically like to include in-character flavor in my gameplay posts, but please don't feel pressure to do likewise, though- use as much or as little flavor as you like.

[BR Dinketry]

Hello everyone.

I've heard from EmpTyger, but I don't see that I've heard from Iceman since the beginning of the month.

Iceman, could you signal that you're still down for this game?

We did have a 4th person on the list, but sadly I don't see them now. Nevertheless, 3 people is fine for a game.

Here's the Discord group for this: https://discord.gg/krfknp. It lands you in my Adventure Card Shack of Goodtimes. You'll need to move from the landing spot (my Plundered Tombs season) to the Bloodthorne table. Notice as well that there is an out of game chat channel, too! For socialising!!

I look forward to welcoming you there. We will start the game in about 24hrs.

Cheers.

-Dink

[Iceman]

Yes, sorry, completely forgot that I was going to finalize my deck for this over the weekend.
We have Seoni, Hayato (iirc), and me? I'm tempted to bring my tier 3 WotR Kyra, but she might be a bit strong (even tho she only uses Cleric deck), so maybe a fresh Core Kyra instead?

I know I mentioned others before, but the haunted mansion aspect has me leaning towards bringing some holiness. I mean, Ak is virtually unkillable, but he doesn't do much to keep his friends alive. :)

[BR Dinketry]

A fresh Kyra sounds good. Because we're a tier 1 table, a level 3 Kyra would not be legal, sadly. Are you going to use adventurer's packs or class decks, or both?

[Iceman]

Fresh Kyra it is.
I'll just run packs (recommendations?). Divine, Support, and either Smash or Tank, I think.

Put me last in initiative, but assume I'm with someone, giving them the d4 and magic against undead, until I can get up to speed (after work and dinner, I'm afraid).

[EmpTyger]

Okay, I think I've finalized my rebuild.

Seoni Core Tier 2:

Weapon 0 Sling

Spell 0 Sleep
Spell 0 Soothing Word
Spell 0 Infernal Healing
Spell 0 Fiery Glare
Spell 0 Detect Magic
Spell 1 Mirror Image

Item 0 Luckstone
Item 1 Gem of Mental Acuity

Ally 0 Acadamae Student
Ally 0 Cat
Ally 0 Troubadour
Ally 1 Leech

Blessing 0 Incantation
Blessing 0 Sands of the Hour
Blessing 1 The Paladin

No preference for turn order.

[BR Dinketry]

Could I get everyone to put a link to the deck handler in their title, please? I'll show you what I mean with Hayato here in a bit.

[Hayato - Dinketry]

Like this!

[Kyra - Iceman]

Testing the header links and all.

[BR Dinketry]

Scenario A success - Things to Do:

1.) Tell me what you want to do with your Hero Point.

2.) Roll for the boons that you might like. Please put them in order of preference. Roll 1d1000 for each boon and I'll sort out who gets what. If there's more than one of a boon, please only roll once for the type/level of boon. If there are different levels of the same boon available, roll separately for the ones that you want

Standard Bearer (Ally 1)

Dog (Ally 0)

Bound Imp (Ally 1)

Klar (Armor 0)

The Avalanche (Blessing 1)

Nethys's Duality (Blessing 1)

Sands of the Hour (Blessing 0)

Irori's Mastery (Blessing 1)

Antiplague (Item 0)

War Drum (Item 0)

Charm Person (Spell 1)

Sonic Blast (Spell 1)

Invisibility (Spell 1)

NOTE: I posted all of the adventurer's packs under spoilers in the Campaign Info header to this game. Check there if you need to reference what's in those packs.

3.) Prepare for HORROR in the next scenario!

[Hayato - Dinketry]

1.) Hayato will spend his Hero Point for a Power Feat: "On your first combat check of your turn, add 1d6 ([X] 1d10)."

2.) Upgrades:

Ally 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 582
Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 994

After everyone has received their first upgrade, I am going to tick off a 'Treasure Hunter' box on my boon to take a second upgrade. I'll take a second Blessing 1 or Ally 1 if they're available. Here are rolls below if someone else has the same idea....

2nd Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 222
2nd Ally 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 476

[Kyra - Iceman]

1) Use the Hero Point for a Spell card feat

2) Upgrade to Holy Light (spell 1)
Since there are three such spells, I don't see Seoni and I needing to roll off but hey... Spell 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 992

[EmpTyger]

No conflict with Seoni. I’ll take a Spell 1, and a Spell card feat along with it. I’ll take a look later tonight to figure out exactly which spell.

[Hayato - Dinketry]

Hayato takes an Ally 1 (Standard Bearer) to replace Porcupine.

Hayato also takes a Blessing 1 (The Wanderer) to replace Sands of the Hour.

[EmpTyger]

Let's try Locate Object. With that reward for an extra d4, I have a better shot at picking up some random boons.

[Kyra - Iceman]

Also, scenario / con boon roll:
Come on, 20: 1d20 ⇒ 17

[EmpTyger]

Bloodthorne Manor 1A reward: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Nope

[Hayato - Dinketry]

Boon Me!: 1d20 ⇒ 6

[BR Dinketry]

Thanks, all, for your patience. Busy weekend at work. Getting our new scenario up now.

[BR Dinketry]

I don't think that house rule can be enacted given that we have AT MINIMUM 3 wildcards per scenario based on the Legendary setting. There are only 18 wildcards to select from.

[BR Dinketry]

Scenario B Success: Things to Do

1.) Tell me what you want to do with your Hero Point.

2.) Roll for your upgrade choice.

Teamster (Ally 0)

Korvosan Dandy (Ally 1)

Cat (Ally 0)

The Juggler (Blessing 1)

Nethys's Duality (Blessing 1)

Mist Horn (Item 1)

Spyglass (Item 0)

Thieves' Tools (Item 0)

Sage's Journal (Item 0)

Flame Staff (Item 0)

Divine Insight (Spell 0)

Fiery Glare (Spell 0)

Enchant Weapon (Spell 0)

Snakebite Dagger (Weapon 1)

Returning Throwing Axe (Weapon 1)

3.) Prep for the next scenario

[Kyra - Iceman]

Spend Hero Point on +1 hand size

Upgrade weapon from 0 to 1 1d1000 ⇒ 728
or blessing from 0 to 1 1d1000 ⇒ 75

Boon Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 4

[EmpTyger]

For upgrades, I think I'm only interested in a Blessing 1 (The Peacock).
I'll replace back in the Acadamae Student I banished.
Hero Point will be for skill feat CHA+2.

Bloodthorne Manor 1B reward: 1d20 ⇒ 2
Nope

[Hayato - Dinketry]

1.) Hayato will spend his Hero Point on a Skill feat (STR +1).

2.) Upgrade choices:
Weapon 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 444 Drop Bolas for Earthbreaker
Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 577 Drop Orison for The Avalanche
Item 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 479

I'll check another box on my Treasure Hunter boon to take a second boon, whatever is left over.

Boon Me?: 1d20 ⇒ 5

[BR Dinketry]

A bit of bookkeeping here...

Results Scenario A:

Hayato: Power Feat; Upgrade #1 - Ally 1; Upgrade #2 - Blessing 1

Kyra: Card Feat (Spell); Upgrade - Spell 1

Results Scenario B:

Hayato: Skill Feat (STR); Upgrade #1 - Weapon 1; Upgrade #2 - Blessing 1
Seoni: Skill Feat (CHA); Upgrade - Blessing
Kyra: Power Feat; Upgrade - Weapon 1

Getting the next scenario set up...

[BR Dinketry]

Scenario C success - Things to Do:

1.) Tell me what you want to do with your Hero Point.

2.) Tell me if you want a blessing or a spell added to the upgrade list.

3.) Roll for your upgrades. Because there are two upgrades, please do give me a few options of what you want (in other words, more than 2 rolls). I'll do my best to see that everyone gets a first-choice and then we'll sort out second choices.

(Partial) Potential Upgrades List:

Crow (Ally 1)

Spider (Ally 0)

Armored Coat (Armor 0)

The Tangled Briar (Blessing 1)

The Sickness (Blessing 1)

Prayer (Blessing 0)

The Marriage (Blessing 1)

Iomedae's Justice (Blessing 1)

Dagger (Weapon 0)

4.) Roll for your convention boon chance.

5.) Prep y'self.

[Hayato - Dinketry]

1.) Hayato will spend his Hero Point on a Card feat and choose Ally.

2.) Hayato will add a spell to the upgrade list for his friends. That random spell is....Levitate (Spell 0). Sorry.

3.) Upgrades:
Ally 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 872
Weapon 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 835
Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 239

4.) The Boon Show?: 1d20 ⇒ 13

[EmpTyger]

I think I'm hoping for a Blessing 1 (The Theater, or maybe The Big Sky?) and a Spell 1 (Invisibility).
Since we have enough blessings to go around, I guess I'll add a spell, so that in case Kyra wants 2 Spell 1s there are enough?

Power Feat will be handsize 7.

Bloodthorne Manor 1C reward: 1d20 ⇒ 11
Nope

[BR Dinketry]

EmpTyger's random spell is - Mirror Image (Spell 1)!

And yes, with 3 Spell 1s and 4 Blessing 1s, there's enough of those for everyone to have what they want, unless someone wants to roll off with Hayato for the Ally 1.

[Kyra - Iceman]

1) +1 Wisdom
2) Blessing, please

3) First upgrade:
Weapon 1 1d1000 ⇒ 426
Blessing 1 1d1000 ⇒ 292

Second upgrade:
Blessing 1 1d1000 ⇒ 840
Spell 1 1d1000 ⇒ 890

4.) boon: 1d20 ⇒ 13

5.) Gonna be a bit. RPG tonight, then I'll figure out my exact card choices

[BR Dinketry]

[BR Dinketry]

Kyra adds a Harrower. Seoni adds a Horse. Both Ally 0s. *sad trombone*

Seoni, wanna give us some rolls?

[EmpTyger]

I'll defer to Kyra and forfeit the 2nd upgrade, since I'm a tier ahead. So just Spell 1 (Good Omen) for me.
