The Quest we were onto had 2 main paths: - go East to Kamelot for help - go West and figure out what has happened to the first expeditio. - It also had a third possible solution, aka "stumble into the Grail". We chose to go to Kamelot, but on our way there we randomly found some breadcrumbs for the other main path (figure out what happened to the first expedition). Following those, we stumbled into the Grail. We still don't know, by the way, what happened to the first expedition - aside from the fact that most of them are now dead and they somehow got their hands on the Grail.

1B 2A 3A 4A Walking around with the grail and Excalibur's scabbard. Moving on up in the world fast. Guessing whatever was chasing Galahad will be after the grail holder soon enough. Nice that Ailei can still hold onto hope for her mentor.

1B: I still want to go to Kamelot, so let's not take the armor for ourselves. 2A (Maggot) and 2B (Ailei), with both going through Tangleroot or Hunter's Grove. (Ailei could go through First Farmhold to reveal 140, but Full Moon's 2 purple, take harder is dangerous). I don't remember how the guardian moves, but if it enters Hunter's Grove before our turn, I'd like to defeat it for the exp/food. We will take damage, but we're about to heal some back at Mirror Lake, and Maggot has decent armor to ward off blows. Be careful about Mirror Lake. The Whitening will go dark soon, so Maggot could end up trapped if we need to linger in the area. 3C I want everyone to have magic since it cannot be transferred. Start the Grail with Maggot since we probably need to show the Grail to the pale lady 4B deck advancements for more power now that encounter level 3 is a thing. (But I wouldn't mind that menhir swapping power)

By the way, I find interesting that Galahad had cut ties with the rest of the round table. I mean, Tainted Grail is right in the name of the game, but Galahad is the most virtuous (read: actually virtuous) of the bunch so him going AWOL says a lot. And now I wonder who the other members of the expedition were. Nimue as Ailei's mentor maybe? That Italian Guy posted:The Quest we were onto had 2 main paths: Finding the grail turns back the clock on chapter 3A, so I wonder what the other accesses to this variant are, since the text explicitly mentions having Seihai-kun*. Unless there are multiple tainted Grails around . Then again, the currently revealed quest is event 1 from chapter 3A right? The one that gets discarded if you don't actually have the Grail. False alarm, there's no metagaming evidence of multiple cups overflowing with evil around. I'd speculate that Grail-less 3A is triggered by schmoozing Morgaine in Kamelot, while the fate of the expedition leads to 3B. E: actually, 3B from Morgaine and Grail-less 3A from the expedition makes more sense, since you could stumble on the Grail in the latter case like we did. *no Angra Mainyu in there because this isn't Fate/Stay Night but some rear end in a top hat absolutely stuck some evil inside that cup.

1- B Let's try and do things as much as possible to support Kamelot here, as we've been doing. 2- B I think seeing the fruits of the dealing with the unrest in the township is probably worth spending the time. 3- A Maggot is our designated Magic-user, let's let him gather Magic for now. 4- A I think getting a skill each before getting deck advancements might be worthwhile.

# ? Nov 14, 2020 02:12 |

Both characters have a skill already. 4B - we've only done one deck advancement per deck for each character and should buy a couple more for the respective specialties at a minimum before we look at another skill...although if we get a big windfall of XP (like, 3-4+ at once) we might want to consider holding back and buying another stat/skill with it. I'd also note that as much as we will try to prioritize using Maggot for Combat and Ailei for Diplomacy, it is not safe to assume that we can pull that off every time - upgrading the other deck is a good idea as well. We'll just want to be more sparing about it.

Regarding relics, I think it was said that the limit is 1 relic equipped at a time. But can the active relic equipped be swapped out during a turn? Maggot has the scabbard (reduces damage by 1 in exchange for trauma) as well as the tainted grail (+1 magic at start of turn). It seems that both are useful at different times, so can he effectively make use of both relics?

NeoRonTheNeuron posted:Regarding relics, I think it was said that the limit is 1 relic equipped at a time. But can the active relic equipped be swapped out during a turn? You can only swap and equip items at the start of the day, so we have to pick one. But Excalibur's Scabbard works at the end of the Rest - before you decide which items to equip - and the Grail works at the start of the Day. So, IE: if on day 1 Ailei has the Grail and Maggot the Scabbard, Maggot can use the Scabbard at the end of Day, then swap the Grail with Ailei at the start of Day 2 and use it. But there is no way for the same character to move the items around again and be able to to so every day - at max every other day.

There is a skill that allows equipping two relics, but IIRC it's on an attribute that would be quite expensive for either of our characters to buy up to a skill on. And I don't know that we have quite enough relics to make that worthwhile yet, plus we have a Task to turn over the scabbard at some point, and our Quest may involve handing over the Tainted Grail. Still, something to keep in mind if we pick up more.

The OP decides what is a good item. Next Exploration: Maggot should Explore the First Farmhold first. Getting Maggot there should reveal the Black Morass location. Then Ailei moves there after shopping (by paying 1 rep) and maybe Maggot meets her there.

So yeah, the "Tainted" Grail is a fake. There is a true Grail, and now we need to find it. I think it should be fairly obvious who else we could find it for, though.

We're getting low on food again, and we got shunted to a different part of Chapter 3A. Things are getting weird. Maggot could've fought the purple guardian encounter, and IMO, would've been able to beat it at the cost of some damage. Probably worthwhile for the loot if it takes no extra energy to enter a fight. Maggot gets a free exploration of Titan's Steps, though I don't remember if there's anything left to find there. 1A Ailei goes to the market to seek items 2A. We don't have enough food, so I want us to farm green encounters at Tangleroot 3D. We could bravely go for the First Farmhold (and Black Morass), but we'll be very tight on food if we try to light the menhir right away.

4A - Oiled Tent. It's not quite as useful when we're split up as we've been doing lately, but between that and the Adventuring Kit we can defang a bunch of negative events. Consumables like the Incense aren't really worth spending money on, IMO, and the Advisor -could- be really good but only if we get lucky on the dial tosses, which I don't especially expect. Also, Maggot can already make Magic, and Ailei can ill afford to gain 2 Terror a pop to pay for it. 5B or C - there are some other permanent effect items that would be quite good to get. Hell, even just another Kit would be worth it.

Wait, since when are we working for Morgaine ?! 1) Those items are all really good ! I'm torn between the sword and the book. The book would be good on Ailei as a source of accumulating magic whenever she's away from a menhir and can't lose terror anyway. The sword would be incredibly good on Maggot if we can use 2 weapons, it'd still be pretty good as his new weapon while the clansword goes to Ailei. Let's believe in magic though, since it also helps with talkamancy. Voting book. Then all we'll need is a bell and candle. 2) A then B, party on Ailei, spending what's left of the petty cash. Don't toke the bogweed yet, it's still too damp. 3) A then C. Ailei should heal Maggot some. Then race back to Tangleroot because we'll almost be out of grub...again... (seriously, 1 food on the giant super hard to kill snail is a dick move. There's great eating on those, by my French word !) 4) Hmm, these 3 cards all seem pretty awful. I guess Powerful Blow is the least bad, but paying energy on our constantly energy starved guy isn't great. Kobal2 fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Nov 20, 2020 |

A couple of notes: - We can't use two weapons on the same character at the same time; - The Clansword doesn't work if you can't connect Aggression, so Ailei can't really use it; - Powerful Blow says "lose" instead of "pay" Energy ( the difference being that we can activate something that requires us to lose a resource that is already at 0, but we wouldn't be able to do the same if it requires us to pay instead).

1: Book. Possibly also Runic Sword, both for Ailei. Ailei hopefully won't be doing loads of combat though, and can't currently connect double Courage, so it's relatively limited use, whereas much of the time the Tome will be 1 Magic a day for Ailei. 4: these aren't super great but I think probably Powerful Blow is best, followed by Careful Planning. I don't like spending energy in combat but both are powerful effects, whereas Gather Strength is just kind of not doing very much for us except maybe fueling the Clansword.

E: metagaming a bit: 3A event 1 was the fake grail start; event 2 is probably the fake grail running out of juice and dissolving (and maybe skip to event 5); event 3 is the Mograine path, event 4 is the Lady path; special event A is probably needed to skip to event 5; event 5 I really don't want to find out. e2: Actual voting 1) Book - bless be the gacha. Until such time where we shall curse it instead. And yeah, it effectively gives Maggot's passive to Ailei once per day. Magic it up baby. 2) 3) D - let's see what's up north before the menhir goes lights out. 4) Careful Planning? - sucky cards, but planning feels great for long slugfest encounters.

Echoing what others said about our active quest. Are we seeing the right part? The Dark Morass Menhir is going to cost us 1 energy each, 4 food, and 2 wealth. We have 7 food and 6 wealth, so we have to be careful. 1 Moldy Tome We can't afford to buy too much, so I want the item that gives us mostly-free magic. If we do buy a 2nd item, the sword seems fine to give Ailei some better offensive options in combat. 2A Herbs are like food... right? (Do not attend the party 2B because we seem to have exhausted the potential benefits of attending.) 3A and 3C Maggot's already on the way through the First Farmhold, and the Dark Morass is adjacent. Ideally, he can do exploration in First Farmhold alone and join Ailei to light up the menhir in Dark Morass. Powerful Blow It sucks to use energy, but sometimes you just need big damage. EDIT: Ailei's final screenshot should technically be 6 rep and 2 terror after passing through the "shortcut" to Dark Morass. Your update text has this right; it's only the final image that's wrong.
