The trouble is, by the time you earn this loot spell, though, you are so powerful that casting it is a fairly ridiculous bonus, even against beefy villains. Against a standard monster, it was messy. Thanks to skill feats, mythic charges, and the Black Robes, Kyra’s Divine static bonus was already +12. After rolling max on d12 + d6, the Combat 14 archer had its difficulty reduced by 30. Needless to say, Kyra had no trouble then rolling her base strength to defeat it. 

(To be fair, it turned out the henchman was on the bottom of that location pile!)

Adventure 5 of Wrath of the Righteous is pretty merciless with it’s labyrinth-themed movement confusion and restrictions. Even after getting through the two major maze scenarios, minotaurs are still popping up as henchmen, and a bad roll against them can land you...well, in the Middle of Nowhere,  a useless location that is very hard to leave!

We have to make light of the monsters because this box is BRUTAL early on. Let’s hope we survive to finally hear the call of our mythic paths!

In their game, Lini vehemently argued in favor of the party all sticking together location by location, despite the Stone Head henchman damaging everyone at the location when fought. The party relented and stuck together at the first location...where Lini proceeded to encounter and acquire a Pteranadon, which only lets you explore again if you move first. So Lini flies away on her dinosaur to explore new and different frontiers, meanwhile, the next player explores, hits the Stone Head, and everyone left behind promptly gets clobbered. THANKS LINI.

In a party full of support characters, Damiel, with his ability to Dimensional Step into any fight and through any potion as a bomb to help out, has probably been the most aggressively helpful member of the party. As we have advanced to Adventure 6, though, we have all developed more powerful abilities to assist each other (especially Oloch!), and apparently Damiel does not appreciate being upstaged. Only an incel would be so jealous of being offered an overwhelming amount of helpful support. :’)

Since we mixed in the Ultimate Wilderness Add-On deck into the box, Damiel has been discovering the amazing powers of all the alchemical plants available. Meanwhile, Lini and Oloch have “other plans” for the “good weed” Damiel has discovered.

Oloch picked up a loot we earned a while back called the Buccaneer’s Breastplate, and it reduces Structural damage by 1. Since then, he’s been saving our ship left and right, which mechanically is awesome, but thematically is somewhat ponderous. Is he diving in front of the ship every time we get shot by a cannon? Do we tie him to a buoy so we can reel him back in after? In any case, it make for a hilarious mental (and now actual) image.
