Victory!

After thirty-two scenarios, Valeros and Seoni were ready for their greatest challenge yet: Karzoug the Claimer! As you can see from the card below, the master villain of the Rise of the Runelords campaign is no pushover.

The heroes ended up fighting Karzoug twice during the final scenario, and in both encounters Seoni had to use up every card in her hand to make that ridiculous target of 40 on her combat checks. (Val, with less firepower, was responsible for hitting the 30.) The second encounter in particular was a bit dicey, as it all came down to the final d12 roll of Seoni's check, where I needed a 6 or higher for the win. I ended up rolling a 9, so the heroes of Sandpoint defeated the Runelord of Greed and saved Varisia.

Now, the greater challenge will be playing through the sixth Runelords adventure deck with my second pair of heroes, Kyra the cleric and Sajan the monk; they're solid characters, but they're not quite as buff as Val and Seoni. Good luck, guys! You're going to need it!
