Last night our friend couldn't make it over to play her character in our Wrath game, so we decided to play one adventure (I needed my fix) and play Arueshalae for her. No big deal, right?
Well later in the game, Arue came across an Ivory Templar (Combat 20). She has a +6 ranged bonus and a Heavy Crossbow to fight with. d8 + d10 +6 and not much help from her comrades.
Fortunately, she had Temptation of the Big Die (card in pic) available. She was pretty healthy, so I thought I'd go for it!
I rolled a 19 and 17 on the d20s! She ended up beating the check but had to bury 17 cards from her hand/discard/deck!
The stack of face down cards there is Arue's BURIED cards. Yeesh!
After burying those cards, she had 6(!) cards left (her hand size). She had to banish a weapon to close the location, but the location closing power gave her a corrupted blessing upon close.
Fortunately, the game was pretty close to done, so she stood pat on her next turn and ended up fine, but I ALMOST had to make a really embarrassing phone call!
Ouch! I swear that that temptation and Monkey's Paw will be the death of Balazar, but he insists on using them (and coming out ahead... so far).
I'll make a wish that can't backfire. I wish for a turkey sandwich, on rye bread, with lettuce and mustard, and I don't want any zombie turkeys, I don't want to turn into a turkey myself, and I don't want any other weird surprises. You got it?
Not bad. Nice, hot mustard. Good bread. The turkey's a little dry. The turkey's a little dry! Oh, foe, the cursed teeth! What demon from the depths of hell created thee!
