So I finished the 3 scenarios in Perils of the Coast solo and now want to start the next adventure.
How do I deck build when I start Burnt Offerings Adventure Deck (B/O AD)?
1) Specifically, do I shuffle in the B/O AD cards with the Base Set cards to build the new scenario location?
2) And do I shuffle the new B/O cards into the Base Set cards to build my character deck as well?
3) Or are the location and character decks made exclusively of the new B/O cards?
4) It would seem the new B/O boons and banes would be overly diluted with the Base Set cards, making the new stuff much less likely to encounter if it were mixed into the Base Set cards...
Sorry if it's obvious, I didn't see these questions addressed in the rules.
Thanks!

Number 1. They will get into your deck as you acquire them during scenarios, but initially you just mix them into what is ashtray in the box and then build locations and play the scenario with your characters as they were when you completed perils.
I'm so sorry, i dont understand the response.
So do i mix & shuffle them into the new B/O scenario locations and my existing character decks?
Same with the monsters and barriers? I pull random cards from the mix of base set cards and new B/O cards?
No need to be sorry.
Don't add them to your character decks. You don't adjust your decks when you start a new adventure. Your character decks when you start the first scenario of burnt offerings will be exactly the same as they were when you finished black fang's dungeon.
Do mix them into the various slots in the box. So shuffle the deck 1 monsters in with b (and c if you have the characters add in deck) monsters in the box. Shuffle the deck 1 barriers in with the b barriers in the box. Do the same for the weapons, spells, armors, items, allies, and blessings.
Then, when you build locations for the burnt offerings scenarios you will have a mix of b, c and 1 cards in the locations. As you play the scenarios, you will acquire new cards. And of them will be from deck 1, but some will still be from b.
Okay, now I understand.Thanks! :)
One more question:
At what point and how do the additional card quantities in second column from the left (with check boxes) on the character sheet get used?
There are 3rd & 4th columns as well...
Whenever you get a Card Feat as a reward, you check off one of those boxes. Once you do that, you can then add another card of that type to your deck as you're rebuilding your deck at the end of the scenario. As you get more Card Feats, you can check off the later columns as well, or you can check off other card types -- it depends on what you feel your deck needs more of.
Your box can hold all the cards. The adventure path card tells you how cards are removed. It begins when you start deck 3.
