Idol of Sycorius (Season of the Runelords)


Pathfinder Adventure Card Society


First of all, am I missing something? I find no FAQ related to the Seasons rules, nor even many posts. We've run across questions we're surprised nobody else has had. For example, from 2-2D, The Idol of Sycorius:

The scenario instructions read . . .

Season of the Runelords Adventure 2 wrote:

Using the deck list from the Throne Room, make a number of  Throne Room locations equal to the number of characters + 2.  When building locations, set aside the henchmen, monsters, and  barriers, then shuffle them into a robber deck. When you close a location, do not flip the Throne Room card over. For your exploration, draw and encounter the top card of the  robber deck as if it came from your location deck; henchmen  defeated during this scenario do not allow you to attempt to close  the location they came from. If this card is undefeated or evaded,  shuffle it back into the robber deck. When you are dealt damage, if the damage is not reduced to 0,  banish the top card of your location deck and each unoccupied  location deck; when a location deck has no cards, you may close  that location automatically. To win the scenario, defeat all of the cards in the robber deck  while at least 1 location is open.

This sounds like we just go through the robber deck, never encountering the boons. If only your first exploration is meant to be the robber deck, nothing says that. How do you encounter any cards in your location decks? Why even have them?

Defeat all the cards in the robber deck while at least one location is open? No problem! Just don't close any locations. Nothing makes you close a location deck.

What are we missing here???

See this post. It's a known issue, but it has not yet been resolved.

There are no FAQs for the Card Guild seasons because, as all-digital products, we can simply update the product itself. But first, we need to ensure that we have the correct solution, which is where we are with this one.

And all of the discussion about them is in the PFSACG forum, which is where I'm moving this thread.


Thank you for the help and for bringing the Guild forum to my attention! This may be why I've been surprised by the lack of posts relating to the Seasons - I was looking in the wrong place!

So, basically, the answer to my first question is, "Yes, I was definitely missing something!"
