Viorian Dekanti's encounter if you fail is incorrectly "summoned" (plus she duplicates herself)

User: atwarner #9699

Platform: PC (Windows 10)

Scenario: Assualt on the Pinnacle

Difficulty: Legendary

Wildcards: Close Quarters, Night Approaches

Characters: Ezren (Thassilonian Dungeon), Merisiel (Guard Tower), Sajan (Temple), Valeros (Throne Room), Lini (Mountain Peak), Seoni (Leng Device)

During the first turn, Ezren explored and acquired Scorching Ray. He explored again and encountered the henchman Viorian Dekanti. He used his Necklace of Fireballs, but got a 22 when he needed a 23. He recharged Mountaineer to reduce the damage to 0. He then encountered Viorian Dekanti again as per her power: "The first time Viorian Dekanti is undefeated this turn, a random character at this location encounters her."

 

I noticed the "Summon" banner (which seem to be getting doubled). The power doesn't summoner her, it just immediately forces a second regular encounter. Ezren played Scorching Ray and Clockwork Librarian and defeated her. But, it didn't let him close (because she was flagged as summoned). He should have been able to close since she shouldn't be a summoned henchman.

 

When resetting his hand, he drew Augury. So at the beginning of the next turn her played it. I noticed there were two copies of Viorian Dekanti on top of the location deck now. So, her summoned copy also decided to stay around.

Got the same thing once with Lini on normal. She failed the to make the roll and then got attacked again. She made the second check but the enemy was not defeated. Two of them in the location deck later

I must admit that I never ever failed this particular check But two Viorian Dekantis are funny. Based on the little bit of lore I read, she wields / wielded the Greed sword. Sadly, two Viorians does not mean two swords.

Yeah, 97% chance to make the check and then three of your dice roll 1s

 

You can get multiple copies of the sword by completing the scenario again.

I was just lore-joking But more Chellan, sword of Greed cards means replaying the whole game in a completely new party. That is why I have "only" two in separate parties

Three 1s are pain, especially when you have something like 3d12 - that is why I pile as many blessings as possible for Villains and Henchmen to get 99%+. Once I even failed to defeat Ripnugget (10) with 3d12+6. Shame on me!

Yep... it happens. Also sometimes you roll two 6 with two d6 and make so things you were sure to fail...

Isn`t life in dice games miraculous

 

But those summoned cards cause sometimes really bad headaches... when They act like real cards instead of summoned version.
