Okay, there’s now links to the Rulebooks and character sheets, + all the major reference placards in the first post. Which is now very image intensive.
So, we retconning to double-crit on @Thraeg’s explore and survival so he gets another gold and you all can just outright choose a Circumstance? If so, which one? The Soaring City was proposed. The Cave of Eajayib is also really good - you kinda suck at skills but I think you’re officially mildly Righteous so you would only be risking 2 energy drain a pop and if you don’t all die you get any one treasure they’ve made. Treasures are potentially crazy good. An example we just got in the live TTS game my friend and I started tonight: the Ring of Shadows, a magical artifact made by the level 7 boss, Magnus Grim, which gives +health to the wielder, makes all heroes deal Piercing (no defense) and Corrosive (no healing it the same turn, no raising the affected stat) damage to Spirits and Undead, provides a defense against Grim’s passive and his possession ability, and the first time you would gain a Power Up card or cards on a game turn, lets you draw another one and apply the effect to everyone. (!) (We escorted a Divine One caravan master who was possessed by a devil, and got stupendously lucky events so he was totally unscratched and like 6 vitals over starting by the end.)
Whichever one you encounter will be replaced by the Plague of Locusts once you’ve encountered it. If this sounds like a plan.
