Arkham Horror: Great Old One? Eh, just shoot it.

[Aestrix]

... Okay. Right then.

TO THE MERCHANT DISTRICT. I AM GOING TO KILL SOME THINGS.

Turn 5: Upkeep
Carolyn Fern (Aestrix) remembers that she's supposed to be slightly saner than she is currently. (5/6 Sanity)

Turn 5: Movement
Carolyn Fern (Aestrix) travels {Northside, Merchant District} and challenges the Hound of Tindalos:
Horror: {1; FAIL}
Carolyn Fern (Aestrix) spends Bravery and a Clue (in #backstage): {1, 2; FAIL}

jalapeno_dude and Bethesda may still spend Focus.
Aestrix has requested the use of Mandy Thompson (Tamien)'s Research ability.

[Tamien]

It's yours; I'm not terribly likely to need it this round.

Rules note from a kibitzer: Technically, there is no discard pile for items, they go right back onto the bottom of the deck. This mostly doesn't matter unless you are using the Drifter from the Dunwich expansion, but it does mean that the sooner something is used the sooner you can, in theory, see it again.

"Ashcan" Pete is from core, actually.

I say 'discard pile' because that's how Vassal handles it currently, but yes, you are correct - the discards are never shuffled, just turned over.

[PlainDealingVillain]

Huh. Shows you how many times I played without Dunwich. Anyway, sorry for butting in, I will resume lurkwatching now.

[Aestrix]

Right then, research for the horror check reroll.

Turn 5: Movement
Carolyn Fern (Aestrix) vs Hound of Tindalos:
Horror: {6,3; PASS}
Bind Monster (3/6 Sanity): {6,4,6,2,6,4,2; PASS}
Carolyn Fern (Aestrix) collects the Hound of Tindalos as a trophy (2T) and challenges the Shoggoth:
Horror: {5,6; PASS} (2/6 Sanity from Nightmarish 1)
Combat: {3,1,1; FAIL} (1/4 Stamina)
Combat: {1,5,6; FAIL}

Aestrix must spend clues or fall unconscious.

Clues were not spent on the first Combat check since 2 clues are not enough to roll 3 successes. Bind Monster was used by prior request.

[Aestrix]

Spending a clue.

[Thatwasademo]

Turn 5: Movement
Carolyn Fern (Aestrix) spends a clue (1 remains) {6; PASS} and defeats the Shoggoth, collecting it as a trophy (3T).

Carolyn Fern (Aestrix): 2/6 Sanity, 1/4 Stamina, 2 Focus, $2, 1 Clue

Psychology (Innate): Upkeep: Dr. Fern may restore 1 Sanity to herself or another character in her location. She cannot raise a character's Sanity higher than that character's maximum Sanity.
Bravery (Skill, Exhausted): Any Phase: Exhaust to re-roll a Horror check.
