Turn 4: Movement
Carolyn Fern (Aestrix) reads Cultes Des Goules {5, 1, 4; PASS}, discarding it, losing 2 Sanity (4/6), gaining 1 Clue (3) and drawing Bind Monster.

Carolyn Fern (Aestrix): 4/6 Sanity, 4/4 Stamina, 2 Focus, $2, 3 Clues

Code: Select all

Speed 0 1 2 [3] | Fight 1 [2] 3 4 | Lore 2 3 4 [5]
Sneak 3 2 1 [0] | Will  4 [3] 2 1 | Luck 5 4 3 [2]

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): Any Phase: Exhaust to re-roll a Horror check.
.18 Derringer (Physical Weapon, 1 Hand, $3 Common Item): +2 Combat check. .18 Derringer cannot be lost or stolen unless you choose to allow it.
Cavalry Saber (Physical Weapon, 1 Hand, $3 Common Item): +2 Combat check.
Heal (Magical Spell): Casting Modifier: +1, Sanity Cost: 1, Upkeep: You may cast and exhaust. You or another investigator in your area gains Stamina equal to the successes you rolled on your Spell check. This Stamina cannot be split between multiple investigators.
Elder Sign ($5 Unique Item): Any Phase: Whenever you could make a Fight or Lore check to close a gate, you may instead spend 1 Stamina and 1 Sanity and remove this card from the game. If you do, close and immediately seal that gate, and remove 1 doom token from the Ancient One's doom track.
Bind Monster (Magical Spell, 2 Hands): Casting Modifier: +4, Sanity Cost: 2, Any Phase: Cast and discard this spell to pass one Combat check. You must roll successes equal to the monster's toughness to cast this spell. This spell doesn't work on Ancient Ones.

It's been ages since this has updated and I have entirely lost track of what we're waiting on.

... Did I somehow leave out the prompt? I am completely baffled.

... Let me go wake up and check my notes.

Edit: It's movement phase for Gloria Goldberg (jalapeno_dude).

Tamien, your movment will also occur before the end of the phase.

...well, I was really hoping someone who knew the game better than I do would answer Aestrix's question about tactics...but I'm pretty sure I don't actually want to attempt to sneak/fight my way past five monsters right now, so I'll just move to Rivertown (the non-stupid way, Northside-Downtown-Easttown-Rivertown), which should allow me to get to any of the current gates next turn.

I was hoping *I* would answer Aestrix's question about tactics, but I can't seem to make my brain think about it all enough to write up anything. Here's what I get after I jog it a bit (maybe it's more helpful than nothing): I am kindof concerned about the number of monsters wandering our streets, but they're really unfortunately clumped up, so I'm not sure what to *do* about them. We should probably make an effort to pick off singlets so that they don't join the pack and overwhelm us. If any of us ever get sufficient firepower to take out the clump, that would be good, but it's not highest priority. As for who seals what - whoever among those of us with sealing abilities that can get to it quickest? I agree that we should try to seal the more commonly-opening gates, but I also think we should pretty much jump in the nearest ones and get them sealed as quickly as possible. What we *need*? Umm. Tommy guns, dynamite, elder signs, the patrol wagon, Blessed statuses would all be handy, though probably not *necessary*.

My plan for my movement, as stated earlier is: I'll go to the Black Cave to get those two clues, and while I'm there I'll read through my Ancient Tome and my Cabala of Saboth (if either fails, I'll accept it and not spend clues/research).

Turn 4: Movement
Gloria Goldberg (jalapeno_dude) moves {Northside, Downtown, Eastside, Rivertown}.
Mandy Thompson (Tamien) moves {Black Cave}, picking up 2 clues (7).

Turn 4: Arkham Encounters
Michael McGlen (Bethesda) may attempt to close his Gate.
Kate Winthrop (pistachi0n) may take out a Loan or have a normal bank encounter.
Carolyn Fern (Aestrix) may shop with her $2 or have a normal shoppe encounter.
Mandy Thompson (Tamien): In the darkness you happen upon the remains of a previous spelunker. Make a Luck (+0) check {5} and consult the chart below:
  • 0) The body begins to bloat and splits open, releasing the horror within. Lose 1 Sanity and a monster appears!
  • 1) The body has been ripped apart as if shredded by a powerful monster. Lose 1 Sanity.
  • 2+) Searching the body you find something interesting. Draw 1 Common Item.
Bethesda, pistachi0n, Aestrix, please make your decisions.
Tamien may spend clues.


Fiesta is happening. Please do not panic if I am unresponsive.

I'll deal with the Sanity loss; I don't want to spend Clues if I can help it.

Question, can I change my stat allocation now, or not?
