Jirelle at "Islands of the Damned". Discarded 5 cards from her draw pile... yikes...

Total scenarios played in S&S to date: (includes dead characters, retired characters (Lini and Lem) and Ezren and Feiya who have not yet completed the game) = 112 (approx 224 hours of game time. WOW. Based on the total cost of the game $135 this is about $.60 per hour.... an excellent investment in RPG time and money...)

Time frame from beginning Adventure Path to completion: 16 months. Average times played each week = 1.75

We just finished our Skull & Shackles campaign. Six players, Hawkmoon and I being two of them. Included the Rogue class deck in the box, because Olenjack was my character (and he needed poison cards) - and a few of the Iconic Heroes promo cards, too. This one took a long time (we had a huge hiatus between the next-to-last and last scenarios)...so it feels good to finally put this one to bed.

[ToddGrim76]

Finally finished Skull & Shackles. From Jan 28th, 2025 which was the halfway part until today, June 8th, 2025. Mostly 1 game a weekend, sometimes needed to skip a weekend for other things.
The party of sea-faring dwarves have made it through the perilous adventure. It got a lot easier once the dwarves received role cards.
Amli was the leader of this motley crew, with Zvarbel and Meliski usually traveling around together. However in the end, Zvarbel was crowned the new Hurricane King (or Queen for this matter). Meliski married Lady Agasta Smythee (hence her in his deck) and I assume he went back home to retire with her. And Angban has laid a claim to fame as being the only individual to injure the mighty Hirgenzosk without it attacking the ship and was clutch for a lot of the games with his role card sniffing out monsters and villains quickly. I would think that Amli, seeing her friend take the throne, would wish her luck and moved on to further adventures. Angban may have stayed on with Zvarbel, knowing she would need allies to help her keep the crown.
Game was played solo with 4 characters. Below is the end result after all rewards. Campaign was played with respective decks included and listed with Parentheses.
No Character deaths, though a couple were close calls.
