The town of Arkham is peaceful. Kids laugh and play, while the old folks laugh and look forward to a sunny day.
A warm breeze rustles the flowers sitting on four graves at Saint Mary's Church.
Our Friends
Kate... Darrell... Jenny... Dexter...

Hibb's Roadhouse has quite the crowd tonight. A party of some sort, you hear.
What for? Who knows. Four people are throwing it and the tab's on them, so what's to lose? Live life as best you can, they say, because you never know what's going to happen tomorrow.

There’s something in the air.
It’s hard to tell what it is, with how crazy things have been lately. The police claim it’s the Sheldon gang, but that really don’t seem right. Sure, they kill people. They’ve done it plenty of times. But they ain’t never done something like this before. They may be thugs, but they’ve never gone and burned someone up for the hell of it.
Even they’ve got some class.
It ain’t helping matters that them folks at the lodge have been out in town. Keeping everyone on edge. Then again, there ain’t been any troubles in French Hill neither. Maybe the freaks are on to something. Who the hell knows anymore.
LODGE MEMBERS WATCH THE NIGHT
A gate appears at the Unvisited Isle (bringing with it a Fire Vampire and a Byakhee). A clue appears at the Science Building (and thus is awarded to Alex). Circle monsters move on White, and Square and Diamond monsters move on Black. All monsters in the French Hill streets or locations are returned to the cup.
We are now in the Upkeep/Movement steps of Turn 1. The Encounters phase will begin when all players have completed their Upkeep/Movement or 48 hours (9pm PST on Friday) have passed (in which case Ashley or I shall take your turn <3).
Please bold your actions for the turn and your actions for the turn only.
Please announce where you will be starting your sliders.
Please remember that you cannot take an action that would require a player later in the turn to go before you.
If you wish to use a location's encounter power rather than drawing an encounter, please announce it at the end of you turn.
Feel free to discuss actions here or in #RPGDLArkhamHorror!

[00:25] <Ranmilia> I trot over, and hey, there is a Fire Vampire! Shock!
[00:25] <Strago|Dexter> Oooh!
[00:25] <Strago|Dexter> UNEXPECTED!
[00:25] <Ranmilia> I do not try to evade it.
[00:25] <Ranmilia> It has no horror check.
[00:26] <Excal> But... but... undead! Fire!
[00:26] <Ranmilia> So unless I'm forgetting something, I lead off with Enchant Weapon?
[00:26] <AndrewRogue> Go for it
[00:27] <Ranmilia> Hey, I'm a university scientist, I'm used to running into creepy flaming men.
[00:27] <Excal> OH Lord, We pray to thee, that thou might, in thy awesomeness, grant unto us a blessed shotgun of light, that we may smite the unholy abominations of life from thine sight.
[00:27] <Ranmilia> I have 5 Lore and Enchant Weapon has a 0 modifier, so rolling five dice.
[00:28] <Ranmilia> 5d6 to turn Shotgun into Plasma Rifle of Science?
[00:28] * Hatbot --> "Ranmilia rolls 5d6 to turn Shotgun into Plasma Rifle of Science? and gets 21." [5d6=6, 6, 3, 3, 3]
[00:28] <AndrewRogue> (Don't forget you lose a sanity to cast ^_^ )
[00:28] <Ranmilia> Success! I go slightly insane with excitement.
[00:28] <Excal> Eh, she'll heal it up anyways.
[00:28] <Ranmilia> The Fire Vampire flames.
[00:29] <Ranmilia> I pew pew lasers, using the shotgun for +4 to my base of Fight 4, so 8 dice.
[00:29] <Ranmilia> Fire Vampire has a -2 combat mod, reducing that to 6 dice, but I only need one success to kill it.
[00:29] * LadyDoor nods.
[00:30] * LadyDoor nods again.
[00:30] <Ranmilia> (Spelling some things out here for reference.)
[00:30] <Ranmilia> I am not allowed to flee combat with it. So here we go.
[00:30] <AndrewRogue> (Its appreciated)
[00:30] <Nitori> (It is~)
[00:30] * LadyDoor is just confirming.
[00:30] <AndrewRogue> (It's, rather. It'll help new players out)
[00:31] <Ranmilia> My shotgun would normally be ineffective, but since it is enchanted, it bypasses the vampire's Physical Immunity.
[00:31] <Strago|Dexter> Thanks, Al. Helpful to see indeed.
[00:31] <Ranmilia> If I fail this check, I will take 2 stamina damage.
[00:31] <Excal> There's a reason I wasn't considering going after this bugger.
[00:31] <Ranmilia> 6d6 to mimic Buffy?
[00:31] * Hatbot --> "Ranmilia rolls 6d6 to mimic Buffy? and gets 26." [6d6=6, 2, 5, 5, 5, 3]
[00:31] <AndrewRogue> (I like picturing Kate narrating this to...)
[00:31] <Ranmilia> Obliterated.
[00:31] <AndrewRogue> Mother fucker that is a dead vampire
[00:32] <AndrewRogue> Collect your monster trophy!
[00:32] <Ranmilia> I collect a godly one toughness monster trophy.
Future Plans and Info for people who aren't in the channel:
Our overall plan is to gear up and blow Hastur to shreds when he arises. His ability makes sealing gates a real pain - we definitely won't be able to win that way, and it's doubtful we'll ever bother to seal a gate using clue tokens at all. Winning by closing all gates is possible, but unlikely with this many players, since we'd have to close at least seven before clearing the board. Odds are the man in yellow will have woken up by then in any case. So our priorities are increasing everyone's resources and powers as much as possible, closing gates as they appear to stall for time (if four are open at once, Hastur instantly awakens) and keeping the Terror Level at zero at all costs, which means murderizing lots of monsters.
I got a pretty ridiculous starting equipment set, so I'm charging into yonder gate headfirst. All in the name of science, of course. People who have a lot of money ($8 or more, Shale for now) are looking at buying skills, people with less are looking at picking up clues for now, trying to get good encounters, so forth. The Byakhee in the sky needs to be lured down by people ending their movement in the streets - Excal and Nitori are planning to do just that, I believe, so we hope it'll come down promptly. Strago's going to hit the Woods.
Re-re-re-editing with even more, for the other PCs...
Soppy/Darrell has mad powers of choose your own encounter, as a character power and also a unique item. Should probably go hang out at places he can manipulate for a good encounter? The Unnameable suggests itself as being close and having a clue and chances for good loot, maybe even an ally.
QR/Carolyn has a lot of books, good Lore, and a motorcycle for traveling even after reading. No reason not to read the books, and will probably be best hanging with Monty Jack later on to keep him sane? Maybe even meet up with him this turn to get his book?
Djinn/Sister Mary doesn't really have much to do right now that stands out. Pick up a clue at a nearby location? It'd be funny to have the nun infiltrate the Silver Twilight Lodge, but IIRC they tend to ask money for that.

To get this treasure hunt started, we need an appropiate place to hunt for treasure...oh, there must be treasure in the inside of that flying thing. Well, we're going to have to kill it then! For treasure! Also, someone more sane should read this weird book. (I plan on giving it to Excal since he doesn't start with any clues, and his book only gives 1 clue. I'll give it to QR if she wants it, though~)
Move to Northside, trade The King in Yellow to Jenny Barnes (Excal)

Transcript of TACTICAL ESPIONAGE ACTION:
<Ranmilia> 1/3 chance.
<Ranmilia> Your call, could go either way. Since we aren't gonna be sealing gates with clues, use em on whatever rolls you consider important.
<Strago|Dexter> Fair enough. I like shotguns, and if I don't try I'm losing the stamina anyway.
<Strago|Dexter> roll d6 expending a Clue Token to use my POWERS OF ILLUSION effectively
* Hatbot --> "Strago|Dexter rolls d6 expending a Clue Token to use my POWERS OF ILLUSION effectively and gets 3."12 [d6=3]

<Gate-weekend> d6 for great justice
* Hatbot --> "Gate-weekend rolls d6 for great justice and gets 1."12 [d6=1]
<Gate-weekend> that's bad, right?
<AndrewRogue> And Carolyn is thrown out of the park.
<AndrewRogue> I'll make the post for you two so you don't have to do it?
<Gate-weekend> thanks

I take the Lore skill.

Since Djinn has not posted by deadline.
<AndrewRogue> roll 1d6

Sister Mary is too awesome and has God on her side.

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse! I heard that some ghost train been showin' up at the train station. They been findin' all sorts of folks dead up there, and I certainly don't want no part of that. I only hope all this stops soon, or I'm gonna have to move the family the hell outta here. Ain't safe for the kids with these shadows at night, and the creepy folks in French Hill and now goddamn ghost trains!
TERROR AT THE TRAIN STATION
A gate appears at The Witch House (bringing with it a Star Spawn and a Gug). A clue appears at the black cave. Moon monsters move on white, Cross monsters move on black. A rusty train arrives in Arkham, disgorging 2 monsters (a Hound of Tindalos and a Nightgaunt) into the Northside Streets.
You are now in the Upkeep/Movement steps of Turn 2. The Encounters phase will begin once all players have completed there action or deadline is reached at 10:40 PM PST on Tuesday. The wiki will be fully updated by Tuesday, so keep track of your information closely until then!
Please bold your actions for the turn and your actions for the turn only.
Please announce where/if you will be moving your sliders.
Please remember that you cannot take an action that would require a player later in the turn to go before you.
If you wish to use a location's encounter power rather than drawing an encounter, please announce it at the end of you turn.

Considering three courses of action:
1) Head to the Historical Society, pick up Clue Token and await an Encounter.
2) Head to the Black Cave, pick up two Clue Tokens and await an Encounter.
3) Try my luck with the Star Spawn, which I think I could take down (Marksman, Dynamite, Shrivelling, etc.), but probably only while taking significant damage given Dexter's unimpressive Will.
Any thoughts? I'll be around IRC tonight and hopefully will decide then.
-
Given the impossibility of making it to the Witch House alone, my best course of action seems to be to head for Northside, where I can use Red Sign to turn that Hound into something reasonably killable. How does that work vis-a-vis the fact that the Star Spawn would eat me alive?

--------------------------------------------------------
I think there's enough people going after Northside. I'm going to position myself to hep out with the critter down at French Hill. And get closer to shutting down the gate at the Witches House.
Move 2 spaces through normal movement. Use the Motorcycle to get the rest of the way to French Hill.
-
Gonna wait and see what Shale does first as he's ahead of me in turn order, and will definatly change if I'm blowing my spell, going physical, or, wonder of wonders, can actually wander around on my turn.
-
Given the impossibility of making it to the Witch House alone, my best course of action seems to be to head for Northside, where I can use Red Sign to turn that Hound into something reasonably killable. How does that work vis-a-vis the fact that the Star Spawn would eat me alive?
What do you mean, Shale? You have a clear run to Northside. Unless you're asking if you should use it on the Star Spawn instead. Hound is probably a better choice for you. That Gug is sitting there and you don't want to get caught alone between two monsters if it moves, even if you change one of them.
-
No, I'm a dumbass and got confused as to which monster was where. I was thinking the Starspawn was at Northside.
-
Since I'm pretty much last in the turn order, let me say that if Djinn/QR/whoever else feels like taking out the Star Spawn instead of me, I'm happy to murderize the Gug and jump in to the Witch House Gate.

Move to Northside, engage Hound of Tindalos
[00:25] <Shale> Okay, now the dicey part. If I fail this horror check I am extremely boned.
[00:25] <Shale> d6
[00:25] * Hatbot --> "Shale rolls d6 and gets 4." [d6=4]
[00:25] <Shale> Haet.
[00:25] <Shale> Clue token.
[00:25] <Shale> d6
[00:25] * Hatbot --> "Shale rolls d6 and gets 6." [d6=6]
[00:25] <Shale> Woot.
[00:26] <Shale> Okay, fun time. Red Sign of Shudde M'Ell. Casts at Lore-1, I have 4 Lore and the +Lore skill.
[00:26] <Shale> 4d6
[00:26] * Hatbot --> "Shale rolls 4d6 and gets 16." [4d6=2, 4, 6, 4]
[00:26] <Shale> Whew.
[00:26] <Shale> 4/5 stamina, Hound is at 1 toughness and no longer physically immune.
[00:27] <Shale> Er, 4/5 sanity.
[00:28] <Shale> Hound has a -1 combat check, I have 1 fight, +fight skill, and the knife.
[00:28] <Shale> 2d6
[00:28] * Hatbot --> "Shale rolls 2d6 and gets 5." [2d6=2, 3]
[00:28] <Strago|Dexter> Booo.
[00:29] <Shale> Fuck. Okay, 2 Stamina. Make or break time.
[00:29] <Shale> 2d6
[00:29] * Hatbot --> "Shale rolls 2d6 and gets 4." [2d6=1, 3]
[00:29] <Shale> ....and I'm dead.
Yeah, that didn't go well. I discard the knife and the tome, and go directly to the hospital. Do not pass Go, do not collect shreds of dignity.

<Excal> Anyone here to witness my impending doom?
<Excal> Eh, whatever, the record will be here.
<Excal> So, let's start by shifting Fight/Will over from 3/3 to 2/4.
<Excal> Now, to open against the Hound.
<Excal> 2d6
* Hatbot --> "Excal rolls 2d6 and gets 10."12 [2d6=4, 6]
<Excal> Make the San check.
<Excal> Now, to bust out Hold Monster.
<Excal> Difficulty of 3, Lore 4 with a modifier of +4.
<Excal> 8d6
* Hatbot --> "Excal rolls 8d6 and gets 25."12 [8d6=1, 4, 2, 1, 3, 4, 6, 4]
<Excal> of course...
<Excal> Well, that's 2 Stamina gone. If I just blew the spell, then I'm toast. If I didn't, then I'll attempt a recast.
<Excal> 8d6
* Hatbot --> "Excal rolls 8d6 and gets 22."12 [8d6=5, 3, 2, 2, 6, 2, 1, 1]
<Excal> Alright, another two Stamina. Assuming failed attempts don't cost San, I get one more shot.
<Excal> 8d6
* Hatbot --> "Excal rolls 8d6 and gets 26."12 [8d6=6, 5, 1, 5, 3, 1, 1, 4]
<Excal> So, making those two assumptions, I win. If the second one fails, then I just burnt my Sanity to 0, but killed the Hound in the Process.
<Excal> And... assuming I still have San (so am now at 4/6 and have discarded Hold Monster after it worked), and have 1/5 Stamina, and I still have to fight what's around, let's take a stab at the Nightgaunt.
<Excal> 3d6 San
* Hatbot --> "Excal rolls 3d6 San and gets 12."12 [3d6=3, 4, 5]
<Excal> Made. Now I have a Fight Check at -2, but my gear gives me +4 for a +6 which goes back down to +4.
<Excal> It has Toughness 1, so one success wins.
<Excal> 4d6
* Hatbot --> "Excal rolls 4d6 and gets 11."12 [4d6=2, 2, 6, 1]
<Excal> So, if all those assumptions hold, I just cleared North Street and my turn is over with me a bloody battered mess.
<Excal> Annnnnd, damn. At this point I double check my sheet and see that I have 4 Stam. So the second failure ended me.
<Shale> I hate that hound.
<Excal> roll 8*6
* Hatbot --> "Excal rolls 8*6 and gets 48."12
<Excal> Damn those were some really average rolls.
<Excal> so, I'll scrap... the books and head to the hospital.

<AndrewRogue> Sister Mary is successful!
Sister Mary gains a Star Spawn trophy and the path is cleared for all going after her.
-
... dag, that Hound of Tindalos is eating us alive. Maaaaaybe, since QR's turn doesn't actually come until a bit later in the order anyway, she wants to scrap that move to French Hill and go after the Hound instead? Since she has great Sanity, good Will, and a Magical Weapon that looks like it could probably really mess the Hound up?
She could even potentially use... both of her Tomes and have an extra skill/glut of clue tokens before the fight starts, and still get over there by way of her motorbike.
I don't mean to be a backseat driver; 'tis just a thought, since she's better equipped to handle that particular monster than I, whereas the Gug will crumble before my eldritch might.
-
Or... sorry, did Excal beat the Hound and then die to the Nightgaunt? If so, never mind me. It is early and I guess I fail reading comprehension.
-
Nope. Excal was killed by the Hound but didn't realize it until later because he thought he had more stamina than he actually did.
Plus he may have driven himself insane through spellcasting first. I'm not sure.
-
Hmm, Mary took out the Star Sign monster before my turn, so it looks like the Northside crew actually does need my help more. If none object, I will scrap my previous action and head to Northside. Won't even need to use my motorcycle. I'll have to do the rolls when I get home, though. Not IRC access from work (freakin firewallz).
-
Yeah, I was never given clarification on the spell, but the text looks like I still have it. Unfortunatly, both castings cost San, so that third casting would have burnt me out even if I still had the stamina, which I didn't.
So close.
-
Alright, then. If nobody minds (since I assume Monterey Jack will be mopping up over at Northside), I'll proceed with my most recently stated course of action.
Using my 2 Focus to adjust Fight/Will from 2/2 to 4/0. Moving to the Witch House and engaging the Gug in single combat. We tried our best... As a result, we were able to excavate it! Success. Transcript follows.
> Anyone around to witness my Gug-murderizing?
<emotoro-afk> I am, though I wouldn't know success from failure? >_>
> I... I think I will.
> Let's see. ^_^
<emotoro-afk> Kay~
> Okay, Horror Check.
> My Will is set to 0, I fail and take 2 Sanity damage.
> Am now casting Wither, which has a +0 Modifier and no sanity cost. My Lore is 5.
> 5d6
* Hatbot --> "Strago|Dexter rolls 5d6 and gets 11."12 [5d6=1, 3, 5, 1, 1]
> Whew, okay. Success.
> That'll give me +3 on the combat check.
> Now casting Shrivelling, -1 Mod and 1 sanity cost. Still have 5 Lore.
> 4d6
* Hatbot --> "Strago|Dexter rolls 4d6 and gets 15."12 [4d6=3, 4, 3, 5]
> Yes. I am suffused with eldritch powers beyond Tai's comprehension, and go a little crazier as a result.
> So, base Fight of 4, +3 from Wither, +6 from Shrivelling, -2 from the Gug's prowess.
> That'll be 11 dice, and I need 3 successes.
> Here we go.
> 11d6 to make like a glass cannon and vaporize the Gug
* Hatbot --> "Strago|Dexter rolls 11d6 to make like a glass cannon and vaporize the Gug and gets 38."12 [11d6=6, 2, 2, 4, 4, 1, 6, 5, 1, 2, 5]
> Booya.
> Didn't even need my Marksman re-roll.
> I collect a 3-Toughness Monster Trophy, I believe.
> OH
> And because the Gug has Overwhelming 1, I still take 1 Stamina damage.

OK. Back from the spawnling's play. And I have good and bad news ...
---------------------------------------------------------
[20:49] <QuietRain> Allrighty then. Let's see how badly I can mess this up ^_^
[20:49] <@AndrewRogue> Declare your actions so I can keep track of what's going, please ^_^
[20:53] <@QuietRain> Attempting to Evade the Hounds.
[20:53] <@AndrewRogue> Wait, wait.
[20:53] <@AndrewRogue> Your Sneak is 1 right now?
[20:53] <@QuietRain> I have 1 Sneak
[20:53] <@QuietRain> Yes
[20:53] <@AndrewRogue> Hound gives a -1 die penalty
[20:53] <@AndrewRogue> So you'd be rolling 0 dice.
[20:54] <@AndrewRogue> Which is a problem >_>
[20:54] <@QuietRain> Shoot.
[20:54] <@QuietRain> Well, looks like Fight's my only choice then
[20:54] <@AndrewRogue> You CAN spend a clue token to try and evade
[20:54] <@AndrewRogue> (Clue tokes give you +1 dice always, so, in theory, you can luck out with a 5 or 6)
[20:55] <@QuietRain> I think I'd rather save them for later.
[20:55] <@AndrewRogue> You... actually have a good shot against the Hound in combat
[20:55] <@AndrewRogue> You'll prolly take the sanity smack, but the Magic Lamp is great
[20:55] * @QuietRain nods
[20:56] <@AndrewRogue> All right. Horror Check
[20:56] <@AndrewRogue> Your Will and any mods -2
[20:56] <@AndrewRogue> (Blue number in the corner)
[20:56] <@AndrewRogue> (Is where that -2 is coming from)
[20:58] <@QuietRain> roll 1d6
[20:58] * +Hatbot --> "QuietRain rolls 1d6 and gets 6."12 [1d6=6]
[20:58] <@AndrewRogue> You withstand the horrific appearrence of the Hound as it tries to attack... through an ANGLE
[20:58] <@AndrewRogue> Now you may make a combat check
[20:59] <@QuietRain> roll 6d6
[20:59] * +Hatbot --> "QuietRain rolls 6d6 and gets 20."12 [6d6=2, 5, 3, 1, 4, 5]
[21:00] <@AndrewRogue> Two successes!
[21:00] <@QuietRain> whooooot
[21:00] <@AndrewRogue> The hound is slain by a lamp in the eye
[21:00] <@AndrewRogue> You claim him as a monster trophy
[21:00] <@AndrewRogue> However, there is still a NIGHTGAUNT
[21:01] <@AndrewRogue> So. The same process applies here.
[21:01] <@Ranmilia> ... QR just disposes of the Hound with no problem whatsoever. The same Hound that killed two players this turn. This game rocks.
[21:01] <@QuietRain> hehe
[21:01] <@AndrewRogue> Let's see if you can announce the entire Nightgaunt process yourself
[21:02] <@QuietRain> I'll give it a go, just whallop me if I miss or botch a step. ^_^
[21:03] <@QuietRain> Horror check, Will (3) - Monster (-1) = 2d6
[21:03] <@QuietRain> roll 2d6
[21:03] * +Hatbot --> "QuietRain rolls 2d6 and gets 2."12 [2d6=1, 1]
[21:03] <@QuietRain> oooohh the pain
[21:04] <@Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Luckily, sanity damage.
[21:04] <@Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> one even
[21:04] <@QuietRain> Sanity damage I can handle
[21:05] <@AndrewRogue> Indeed
[21:07] <@Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Should be 5d6
[21:07] <@QuietRain> Sweet, so 6 (2 fight + 5 lamp - 1 Gaunt)
[21:07] <@AndrewRogue> -2
[21:07] <@QuietRain> whoops
[21:07] <@QuietRain> roll 5d6
[21:07] * +Hatbot --> "QuietRain rolls 5d6 and gets 19."12 [5d6=4, 6, 4, 1, 4]
[21:08] <@AndrewRogue> That... is not so good for you.
[21:08] <@QuietRain> Nope *grin*
[21:08] <@Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> It's not a fail, but it's not a kill, right?
[21:08] <@AndrewRogue> You can expend a clue token here to get one more die, or you take the Bad Stuff (TM)
[21:08] <@Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Or is a no kill considered a fail?
[21:08] <@AndrewRogue> No kill = fail
[21:08] <@Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Ah
[21:08] <@QuietRain> I will expend a clue token and give it a whirl
[21:08] <@AndrewRogue> If the monster ain't dead, you failed
[21:09] <@QuietRain> roll 1d6
[21:09] * +Hatbot --> "QuietRain rolls 1d6 and gets 1."12 [1d6=1]
[21:09] <@QuietRain> Bad stuff ensues
[21:09] <@AndrewRogue> QR, QR, QR
[21:09] <@Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> TO THE GATE WITH YE
[21:10] <@Ranmilia> Through the closest gate, which I am about to close.
[21:10] <@AndrewRogue> As Alex says, you get pitched through the gate to the City of the Great Race
[21:10] <@Ranmilia> So you're going to be lost in time and space, barring a really lucky gate draw.
[21:11] <@Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Which is basically LOSE A TURN
[21:11] <@Ranmilia> More like lose three turns
[21:11] <@AndrewRogue> Its really worse in this case, yeah

<AndrewCrossEdge> (Will =/= Horror, unfortunately)

<Gatewalker> I am supposed to roll something for Jenna in here
<Gatewalker> what do I roll?
<Excal> Looking that up.
<Excal> The guys who are experts wandered off.
<Ranmilia> Ah
<Excal> Fight Check, at -1
<Ranmilia> Need to roll a Fight at -1
<Excal> Which... looks like a single d6
* Excal sets mode: +o Gatewalker
<Ranmilia> Current fight is 2...
<Ranmilia> So yeah, single d6.
<Gatewalker> d6 for great justice?
* Hatbot --> "Gatewalker rolls d6 for great justice? and gets 4."12 [d6=4]
<Gatewalker> is that a good thing?
<Ranmilia> Alas! Failure.
<Excal> So, that's -1 Stam, -1 San

You ever hear that ol' Hibb's is haunted?
Miskatonic Arctic Expedition Returns!
Any Elder Things previously claimed as monster trophies by players return to life and are placed in the river docks. A clue appears at Independence Square. A gate opens at Hibb's Roadhouse (Yuggoth). Two ghosts emerge from the gate. Moon moves on white (ghosts stay stationary) and Cross moves on black.
You all know the drill.

This move is illegal. Insufficient Speed to move from Arkham Asylum to Hibb's Roadhouse. Please adjust your turn accordingly.
Resolved (http://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=3465.msg63867#msg63867).
Additionally, the Game One (http://arkhamhorror.wikispaces.com/game_one) page should be up to date. I will work on updating individual inventory/status tomorrow evening (shortly after the Encounter update). Please let me know if there are any errors or if you have any suggestions. You can find something else to do with your criticisms.

He has a +2 Speed ally. (Yeah, I had to doublecheck too when I first saw it. >_>)

Ah, right. His new acquisition. Thank you!
In the future, please do be explicit about where your numbers are coming from. It helps me keep track and I do tend to overlook something when it's not made "naked man standing in the middle of the room painting himself red" obvious.

Sorry about that, LD. I'll be more clear next time.
Rolled combat for the Ghosts. Suffice to say, I ain't afraid of no ghosts. I claim 2 Toughness worth of monster trophies and await to be thrown into the gate!
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> So gonna be fighting those ghosts.
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> #1, Horror check

ARKHAM ENCOUNTERS

Sopko/Darell
Into the gate with thee!
Djinn/Mary
Bats! HUNDREDS OF THEM! Pass a Speed (-1) check to get out of the cave safely. If you fail, lose 1 Stamina.
Shale/Vincent
You find a student pounding on a strange device that he has hooked up to a massive machinery. He states that it is a dimensional beam machine. If you offer to help him, make a Lore (-2) check. If you pass, beams shoot out in all directions, disrupting the gates open througout the board. Roll a die for each open gate, one at a time. On a success the gate is closed. However, you may not take it as a tropy, but instead return it to the pile of gate markers. If you fail, the machinery overheats and explodes. Roll a die and lose that much Stamina, then move to St. Mary's Hospital.
Excal/Jenny
You encounter a friendly old professor from Miskatonic University. If you spend 1 gate trophy, he introduces himself as Professor Armitage and offers to join forces with you. Take his ally card if it is available, otherwise draw 1 unique item.
Nitori/Monterey
You must buy one of the following if able:

OTHER WORLD ENCOUNTERS
QR/Carolyn
You come across a slaughered creature. Pass a Luck (-1) check to claim a monster trophy from the cup and gain 2 clue tokens.
Soppy/Darrell
Pass a Fight (-2) check to lever back the lid of a stone chest. Inside, you find $8. If you fail, lose 1 Stamina.
Strago/Dexter
The cylindered head mocks your hopes. "You'll never return home!" it cackles. Pass a Will (-2) check or lose 2 Sanity.
You all know the drill.

I fail to open the chest and lose 1 Stamina. Not worth wasting Clue tokens on this.
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> So 3-2=1 die!

Witch Burning Anniversary
An ancient curse strikes Arkham, releasing 2 monsters (a Witch and a Ghoul) into the Rivertown streets. A clue appears at the Science Building (Vincent claims it). A gate to Another Dimension opens at the Unvisited Isle, spawning two monsters (a Dark Young and a Nightgaunt). Moon moves on white. Cross moves on black.

Right, so am I allowed to emerge from the Hibb's Roadhouse (Yuggoth) gate and close it there? It's closer to the Asylum, and I really need to restore my Sanity, so that seems like it makes sense. And then Soppy can close the Witch House one? Let me know if this doesn't make sense either strategically or in the rules.
For now I'm going to sleep. Will be around, at least briefly, in the mid-late A.M. EST tomorrow.

With Fight maximized and Voice of Ra active, I should be able to take those two, and don't really see any other use for my time except encounter-hunting. Thoughts?
Edit: Hngh. I've got one fewer Stamina than I thought, meaning I'd have to take the both of them with at most one failed combat roll. Not sure I trust Hatbot enough for that, and I really don't want to lose either of my shiny shiny spells.

Sister Mary:
Well, I seem to be cornered by goth-horror rejects, so I suppose I'll place my faith in the Lord above and make for the Rivertown Streets.
Speaking of the Lord above; Blessing upkeep:
[23:50] <Djinn1> Hey, I need to roll a 1d6 for Arkham so that God will love me.
[23:50] <TranceHime> Hey Djinn.
[23:51] <Djinn1> God is pretty generous, so long as I don't roll a 1, I should be Blessed.
[23:51] <Djinn1> witness plz?
[23:51] <Kotono> Who do you need to witness?
[23:51] <Djinn1> Just an Arkham person I suppose?
[23:52] <Djinn1> The Arkham channel lost its hatebot.
[23:53] <Djinn1> Well, it's like midnight and I have an early class tomorrow, so I'm just gonna assume you're all patiently waiting for me to roll.
[23:53] <Djinn1> 1d6
[23:53] * Hatbot --> "Djinn1 rolls 1d6 and gets 6." [1d6=6]
[23:53] <Djinn1> Praise be! Halelujah!
It also seems like a good idea to wait for Strago to handle his door before I try this, so I'd like to attempt that timing.

Sister Mary:
Well, I seem to be cornered by goth-horror rejects, so I suppose I'll place my faith in the Lord above and make for the Rivertown Streets.
Speaking of the Lord above; Blessing upkeep:
[23:50] <Djinn1> Hey, I need to roll a 1d6 for Arkham so that God will love me.
[23:50] <TranceHime> Hey Djinn.
[23:51] <Djinn1> God is pretty generous, so long as I don't roll a 1, I should be Blessed.
[23:51] <Djinn1> witness plz?
[23:51] <Kotono> Who do you need to witness?
[23:51] <Djinn1> Just an Arkham person I suppose?
[23:52] <Djinn1> The Arkham channel lost its hatebot.
[23:53] <Djinn1> Well, it's like midnight and I have an early class tomorrow, so I'm just gonna assume you're all patiently waiting for me to roll.
[23:53] <Djinn1> 1d6
[23:53] * Hatbot --> "Djinn1 rolls 1d6 and gets 6." [1d6=6]
[23:53] <Djinn1> Praise be! Halelujah!
It also seems like a good idea to wait for Strago to handle his door before I try this, so I'd like to attempt that timing.
I don't get a chance to close my gate until the next phase, though, so... if you want to do it this turn, go ahead.
-
I'm tentatively thinking about charging the Unvisited Isle gate (again!), but will wait for others and opinions on this.
-
Well, Shale, since you go before me, I have to wait to see what happens with you before I can take my turn. So, please decide before we both time out.

[00:53] <Shale-zzzzzz> Okay, so. Had I known I was going to be in combat, I would have cast Sign of Ra. May I do that?
[00:53] <AndrewRogue> You did do that.
[00:53] <Shale-zzzzzz> Did it work?
[00:53] <AndrewRogue> So yes you can try to cast.
[00:54] <Shale-zzzzzz> Oh. Okay.
[00:54] <Shale-zzzzzz> Sign of Ra casts at Lore -1. I have 3 Lore and the +Lore skill.
[00:54] <Shale-zzzzzz> 3d6
[00:54] * Hatbot --> "Shale-zzzzzz rolls 3d6 and gets 15." [3d6=6, 3, 6]
[00:54] <Shale-zzzzzz> Sweet.
[00:55] <Shale-zzzzzz> Okay, now what am I doing?
[00:55] * Shale-zzzzzz is now known as Shale
[00:55] <AndrewRogue> Whatever you want. Punching out Witch and Ghoul isn't a bad plan
[00:55] <Shale> Well, I've already blown the Sanity. Here goes nothing!
[00:56] <AndrewRogue> Bleh. I don't feel very well.
[00:57] <Shale> Witch first. She has no horror check, so I skip straight to the punching.
[00:57] <Shale> Oh, and since I never posted mys tats, I should specify here, fight+2, will-2.
[00:58] <Shale> Also, should go without saying, but I doctor myself before moving.
[00:58] <Shale> Vs. Witch. I have 3 fight, +fight skill, and +1 from Voice of Ra. She has -3 to combat checks. She has 1 toughness.
[00:58] <Shale> 2d6
[00:58] * Hatbot --> "Shale rolls 2d6 and gets 8." [2d6=3, 5]
[00:58] <Shale> She dies.
[00:59] <Strago|Dexter> Woot.
[00:59] <Shale> vs. Ghoul. Ghoul has a horror check of +0. I have 1 will.
[00:59] <Shale> d6
[00:59] * Hatbot --> "Shale rolls d6 and gets 4." [d6=4]
[01:00] <Shale> I fail. -1 sanity. Sanity at 3, Stamina at 4.
[01:00] <Shale> Oh, wait, Voice of Ra.
[01:00] <Shale> d6
[01:00] * Hatbot --> "Shale rolls d6 and gets 1." [d6=1]
[01:00] <Shale> That didn't help.
[01:01] <Shale> Ghoul has -1 to combat checks and 1 toughness. I have 5 effective fight.
[01:01] <Shale> 4d6
[01:01] * Hatbot --> "Shale rolls 4d6 and gets 16." [4d6=5, 2, 3, 6]
[01:01] <Shale> Dead Ghoul.
[01:01] <AndrewRogue> Grats
[01:01] <Shale> I do a doctorly victory dance and end my turn.

[23:38] <Ranmilia> Yeah. Shot taking.
[23:40] <Shale> Good luck!
[23:40] <Ranmilia> Move over and initiate combat against Dark Young. It is very frightening, I lose three sanity.
[23:40] <Ranmilia> Stamina 4/4, Sanity 3/6.
[23:41] <Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> C'mon Alex. Taking the shot involves kicking reason to the curb and rolling 3 20's on 4 rolls
[23:41] <Ranmilia> I will attempt to cast Enchant Weapon on my shotgun. 1 Sanity cost, Sanity 2/6.
[23:42] <Ranmilia> Lore 5, casting mod 0, five dice.
[23:42] <Ranmilia> 5d6
[23:42] * Hatbot --> "Ranmilia rolls 5d6 and gets 21." [5d6=4, 6, 1, 5, 5]
[23:42] <Ranmilia> Success, and wince at the good rolls being used up.
[23:43] <Ranmilia> But at least now I can bypass Dark Young's physical resistance. I will use Shotgun, it gives +4 to combat checks.
[23:43] <Ranmilia> And most importantly, any 6s will count double.
[23:44] <Ranmilia> The Dark Young has a combat mod of -1. I have 4 fight and the shotgun, so I will be rolling 7 dice. I need three successes. Failure results in my taking 3 stamina damage.
[23:44] <Ranmilia> Let's roll.
[23:44] <Ranmilia> 7d6
[23:44] * Hatbot --> "Ranmilia rolls 7d6 and gets 28." [7d6=1, 4, 5, 6, 1, 6, 5]
[23:45] <Shale> I think it exploded.
[23:45] <Ranmilia> Six successes. The Dark Young is forcefully put to naptime.
[23:46] <Ranmilia> I gain a three toughness monster trophy. The reinforcements symbol pops up and a Nightgaunt appears.
[23:46] <Ranmilia> I have zero will and soak another sanity hit, Sanity 1/6.
[23:47] <Ranmilia> The Nightgaunt has a -2 combat mod, 2 toughness, and sucks me through the gate immediately on failure, which isn't all that bad.
[23:47] <Shale> I see I'll have company at Arkham next turn.
[23:47] <Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Just murderize it
[23:47] <Ranmilia> I will use my shotgun, 4 fight +4 gun -2 for a total of 6 dice.
[23:48] <Ranmilia> 6d6
[23:48] * Hatbot --> "Ranmilia rolls 6d6 and gets 23." [6d6=5, 2, 4, 6, 1, 5]
[23:48] <Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Boom
[23:48] <Shale> -stick
[23:48] <Ranmilia> Four successes, Nightgaunt returns to the pages of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 5.
[23:48] <Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Yesssssssssssss
[23:48] <Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> They had a compliation of that. I almost got it
[23:49] <Ranmilia> I gain a 2 toughness monster trophy. The board is cleared of monsters. Nearly insane, I trip over a rock and am sucked through a gate into Another Dimension, perhaps soon to become lost in time and space should the otherworld encounter have a sanity hit.

"Testifying" Cooter Falwell latches onto you and rambles about his spiritual beliefs. Make a Lore (-1) check. If you pass, then somewhere in Cooter's words you find a clue to the Mythos threat. Gain 1 Clue Token, but lose 1 Sanity. If you fail, move to the street while you listen to Cooter ramble on about pure nonsense.

You stare into the face of madness. Roll 1 die for each point of Sanity you have. Lose 1 Sanity for each die that does not roll a success. If you do not go insane, gain 1 Clue token for each die that rolled a success.

The sky is spinning (~). Pass a Will (-2) check or pass out and stay here next turn.

<AndrewRogue> What's your Will, Sopko?
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> 2 base + 1 for Will skill, so 3

<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Eh. Better than the other one
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> roll 1d6

[00:24] <Ranmilia> In the same vein, I'll blow some clues to try and come back through the gate. Got 3 clues right now, let's see how it goes.

Emerging from Yuggoth in the environs of Hibb's Roadhouse, Dexter Drake uses what knowledge he has gleaned of these foul and eldritch things -- a not inconsiderable amount, given the fact that he's been driven nearly insane by it -- to close the yawning gate before him. Being a super sexy badass, he of course succeeds.

Doing people's rolls cause Andy told me to!
<AndrewTotallyInadequate> One of the people here capable of doing me a favor?

<AndrewTotallyInadequate> Do Gate and QR's rolls and post 'em for me?
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> K.
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> QR is at 5/6 Sanity
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> So I roll 5 die.
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Lose 1 Sanity for each failure, gain 1 clue for each success if you don't go insane
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> 5d6
* Hatbot --> "Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva rolls 5d6 and gets 17." [5d6=5, 4, 1, 2, 5]
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> So she's down to 2/6 Sanity and gains 2 clues
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Best as I can figure it, Djinn's current Lore is 3. So minus one is 2.
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> roll 2d6
* Hatbot --> "Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva rolls 2d6 and gets 5." [2d6=3, 2]
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Djinn gets booted out into the streets.
<Soppy-WhatsTheFlayva> Loses no Sanity, but gains no Clue

Oh God! Please say it isn't so...
Southside Strangler Suspected!
However, the press is mistaken, and the murders were caused by two monsters that are released into the Southside streets (a Dimensional Shambler and a Dark Young)! A clue appears at the Historical Society. A gate opens in the Woods (spawning a Chthonian and a Ghoul). Circle moves on white, Square and Diamond move on black.
(BOARD CORRECTION! The Dimensional Shambler moved, putting him in the Rivertown Streets. Have fun, Vincent.)

Unless anybody feels like bashing the Shambler's head in for me (can they, even? Seeing as it technically ran into me before anybody's turn, after all), I've got no choice but to fight it and end my turn in the streets. Also, if our friendly neighborhood psychologist would care to help with the fact that I am rapidly going insane and won't be able to reach Arkham until the next turn, I will be eternally grateful.

<Irius> Alright, let's take a look at the stats on this sucker.
<Irius> -2 Will, -2 Combat, so let's shuffle Will/Fight to 4/2.
<Irius> 2d6
* Taishyr has joined #RPGDLArkhamHorror
* Hatbot --> "Irius rolls 2d6 and gets 9."12 [2d6=5, 4]
<Irius> Done. Now lets do the combat.
<Irius> My fight gets cancelled, but I've got two weapons, and it lacks Phys immunity.
<Irius> 4d6
* Hatbot --> "Irius rolls 4d6 and gets 9."12 [4d6=2, 2, 1, 4]
<Irius> Well if that don't beat all. Let's spend the clue.
<Irius> That's just one extra die, yes?
<AndrewRogue> Yeah, unless you have a handy skill
<Irius> d6
* Hatbot --> "Irius rolls d6 and gets 1."12 [d6=1]
<AndrewRogue> Hatbot, why do you hate Excal?
<Hatbot> That's what it says right here, AndrewRogue.
<Irius> So, here's the question.
<Irius> It says that I lose 1 Stam, which puts me at 0
<Irius> It also says I get lost in time and space.
<Irius> Which takes precedence. Or do I get devoured?
<AndrewRogue> I... don't think he has a stamina damage
<Irius> One blood drop
<AndrewRogue> Blood drop is his toughness
<Nitori> That's toughness~
<AndrewRogue> Red circles under the number are his damage
<Nitori> Stamina damage is the hearts
<Irius> Ahhh. Never mind then.
<AndrewRogue> You are just LiTaS
So, uh, yeah. See you guys next week.

Unless anybody feels like bashing the Shambler's head in for me (can they, even? Seeing as it technically ran into me before anybody's turn, after all), I've got no choice but to fight it and end my turn in the streets. Also, if our friendly neighborhood psychologist would care to help with the fact that I am rapidly going insane and won't be able to reach Arkham until the next turn, I will be eternally grateful.
Friendly neighborhood psychologist seems to be Lost in Time and Space. I'd offer to amend my movement and have a go at the Shambler for you, but sadly there's no way I'd make that Horror check. Sorry, dude.
Consistently taking the full two days for each phase is booooo-urns.
-
I'm waiting on Djinn (or whoever ends up deciding for Mary) before I know whether or not I need to fight the Shambler. Anybody else waiting?

Mary, under the care of our friendly neighborhood mod, has slain the Dimensional Shambler, opening the Rivertown Streets to travel. I patch myself up to full stamina and run like the near-madman I am to Arkham Asylum, where I can't actually afford treatment but will become marginally saner by osmosis while sitting in the waiting room.

Bloody museum thinks just because it has got some new stuff that they can go and charge a guy a whole dollar to take a look? Ridiculous.
Egyptian Exhibit Visits Miskatonic U.
(Environment: Urban)
Any investigator who ends his movement in the Miskatonic U. streets may pass a Lore (-1) check to gain 1 Clue token by reading the strange heiroglyphics on the artifacts at the exhibit.
A gate opens at The Witch House (taking Darrell to Leng) and a Dark Young and Star Spawn emerge. A clue appears at the Black Cave. Cross moves on white (Star Spawn into the French Hill Streets) and Moon moves on Black.

Hrmm. Okay, stats are as follows. Not at all sure what to do this turn. I guess I need to set my Will higher and start actually trying to make some Horror checks if I'm going to tackle these nasties and not have to constantly retreat to Arkham, since my main combat power is from Sanity-sapping spells.

Okay, I kind of want to hit the Black Cave for a clue and hopefully-beneficial encounter. Is this a better or worse idea than knocking myself back down to one or two sanity in the process of taking out the Star Spawn?
-
Probably. You can grab the clue in the process, which will help if you want to tackle a monster next round. Methinks the Star Spawn will still be there.
-
Fair enough.
Moving Lore/Luck over to 4/1, moving to the Black Cave in order to Cluify myself and hopefully not be attacked by a dang swarm of bats.

ARKHAM ENCOUNTERS
Alex/Kate
Welcome to the LAW.
Djinn/Mary
You notice a glint of light in a crevice. If you reach in, make a Luck (-1) check. If you pass, draw 1 Unique item. If you fail, you feel a sharp pain as teeth clamp down on your hand. You manage to pull free, but lose 2 Stamina and 1 Sanity.
Shale/Vincent
One of the other customers in the bank recognizes you and offers you a lift. Move to any location or street area in Arkham. If you move to a location, immediately have an encounter there.
Nitori/Monterey
Flipping through the early edition, you are surprised to see that one of the classified ads begins with your name. Reading it, you realize it contains several coded clues to the nature of the threat that faces Arkham. Pass a Lore (-1) check to gain 3 Clue tokens.
Strago/Dexter
A monster appears!

Best I can figure this is where I should be at after using my upkeep skill for turn 6 on my own sanity, assuming you don't mind me retconning in an upkeep action that didn't get done. If anyone sees a problem please let me know. Also I may want to use focus as well, but haven't yet pending reading stuff. I'll edit this if I do that later, again assuming you don't mind.

<Nitori> Sounds good
<Nitori> For the record I have three clue tokens
<Nitori> First off, shifting Speed/Sneak to 1/3
<Nitori> No other changes
<Tewi> Well, guess I'll pop in with Mary then, and may as well do book reading rolls. I'll switch lore/luck to 5/2. Mary will get the Sanity boost this turn.
<Nitori> Dark Young evasion, -2 modifier, 3 Sneak + 2 evade for a total of 3 dice, 1 success needed
<Nitori> 3d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 3d6 and gets 11." [3d6=5, 4, 2]
<Nitori> I evade the universe and head to the Woods
<Nitori> First, I'll down the Cultist
<Nitori> No horror check
<Nitori> -2 modifier from Hastur, Bullwhip + Gun gives me +4 on top of 2 Fight, for 4 dice, one success needed~
<Nitori> 4d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 4d6 and gets 18." [4d6=4, 5, 5, 4]
<Nitori> Second, I will down Mr. VSM- I mean the ghoul
<Nitori> +0 horror check, 3 Will, 3 dice
<Nitori> 3d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 3d6 and gets 12." [3d6=3, 3, 6]
<Nitori> VSM is not scary
<Nitori> -1 combat check, +4 and 2 fight give me 6 for 5 dice, 1 success needed
<Nitori> 5d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 5d6 and gets 16." [5d6=5, 1, 2, 6, 2]
<Nitori> Mr. VSM is dead
<Nitori> I turn to Gug
<Nitori> -1 horror check, 3 Will, 2 dice
<Nitori> 2d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 2d6 and gets 6." [2d6=4, 2]
<Nitori> I will spend one clue token here
<Nitori> 1d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 1d6 and gets 2." [1d6=2]
<Strago|Dexter> D'oh.
<Nitori> Okay, screw it, 2 Sanity damage
<Nitori> I equip Holy Water and gun for +9 in total, three from gun, six from water, +2 from fight
<Nitori> -2 combat, so I have 9 dice and need 3 successes
<Nitori> 9d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 9d6 and gets 31." [9d6=4, 1, 1, 5, 3, 2, 5, 6, 4]
<Tewi> Cutting it close, aren't we? <_<
<Nitori> Mr. Gug is dead
<Nitori> I turn to Mr. Cthulhu, who is wearing a party hat
<Strago|Dexter> Heh.
<Ranmilia> Er, Holy Water is two handed...
<Nitori> Or that
<Strago|Dexter> ... yup. Good point.
<Nitori> I wrote 1H on my sheet because I am stupid and can't read
<Nitori> I'll just reroll that, minus the gun
<Nitori> 6 dice
<Nitori> 3 successes
<Nitori> 6d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 6d6 and gets 23." [6d6=1, 6, 1, 5, 4, 6]
<Strago|Dexter> ... wow. Nice.
<Tewi> ...I hate your luck.
<Strago|Dexter> As do I.
<Tewi> Well, I mean, it's good for us, but damn you anyway.
<Strago|Dexter> Heh.
<Nitori> As I was about to type, I will evade Mr. Cthulhu before I have to join his bachelor party
<Nitori> +1 awareness, 3 Sneak, +2 evade, six dice, 1 success needed
<Nitori> 6d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 6d6 and gets 22." [6d6=4, 3, 3, 5, 6, 1]
<Nitori> I successfully hide from whatever the hell he hired as strippers
<Tewi> I don't WANT to know what he hired as strippers. <_<
<Ranmilia> Huh. Well.
<Nitori> And that should end the turn
Also Overwhelming 1 from Mr. Gug

===========================================
Popping back into being at The Unnameable, handing Sister Mary my fancy magic lamp so she can go spread the words of her God to the heathen monsters more effectively, and offering to take that foul black magic Wither off her hands in return. Moving the lore/luck stats over and rolling for happy fun reading time. Also restoring a point of Sister Mary's sanity.
<Tewi> Well, I'm going to make my book rolls since I'm doing that regardless of what happens
<Tewi> Cabala of Saboth (Tome) - Movement: Exhaust & spend 2 movement points to make a Lore -2 check. Pass= draw 1 skill & discard. Fail= nothing.
<Tewi> Old Journal (Tom) - Movement: Exhaust & spend 1 movement points to make a Lore -1 check. Pass= gain 3 clue tokens & discard. Fail= nothing.
<Tewi> I'll start with the Cabala. Lore is 5, -2 gives me three dice, need one success for a skill.
<Tewi> 3d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Tewi rolls 3d6 and gets 11." [3d6=4, 6, 1]
<Tewi> I am more skillful.
<Strago|Dexter> Hooray.
<Tewi> Exhaust the motorcycle to restock my movement points, try for the journal. Only -1 this time, so four dice for three clues.
<Tewi> 4d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Tewi rolls 4d6 and gets 19." [4d6=4, 6, 6, 3]
<Strago|Dexter> Alex: do we actually get to have an Encounter this turn? I'm not sure we do.
<Tewi> I now have seven clue tokens, and am sitting around the Unnameable waiting for stuff to happen to me.

Run like a scared little girl to the General Store.

Strags: Decided to roll for Sister Mary, Andy, as long as you don't mind. Team game and we're pretty much acting by committe this whole turn anyway. And it's not like it went well for us, so you ought to approve. ;_; She joins Dexter and Kate in the hospital, folding origami. Discards her Cross and Voice of Ra, retaining her Elder Sign and the Magic Lamp. Here's the breakdown.
> So... Dexter reaches out telepathically from his hospital bed (where he is making orgigami frogs that jump when you press on them with Kate!) to control Sister Mary's actions.
> She moves to the French Hill Streets.
<Shale> Illusionist Extraordinaire indeed.
> (Should I bother spending her Clue Token to try and pass the Horror Check? With her Blessing she does have a 50/50 shot.)
<Shale> You can wait until after rolling the check.
<Shale> ...oh, right, minimum will.
> Ja.
> I don't get a check without the Clue.
<Shale> Wait, didn't you say you were using Voice of RA?
<Shale> That's Upkeep.
> ... ah, yes.
<Shale> Doesn't help here, but still.
> Okay, yes, good point. Voice of Ra, -1 mod and 1 San cost, she has 4 Lore so rolls 3 dice.
> 3d6 for Egypt Power
* Hatbot --> "Strago|Dexter rolls 3d6 for Egypt Power and gets 15."12 [3d6=6, 4, 5]
> ... well. Let's hope that hasn't used up all my luck. Success, obviously.
> I decide to forego an attempt at making the Horror check. Sister Mary takes 2 Sanity damage from the Star Spawn, is now at 1/7.
> Now, combat.
<Shale> 1/7?
> Mary's got 3 Fight, +1 Voice of Ra, +5 Lamp of Alhazred.
> Yeah, she started this round at 4.
<Shale> Her maxes are 7 Sanity, 3 Stamina.
> Correct.
<Shale> ...1 out of 7. Not 1 sanity, 7 stamina. Fuck, this week needs to be over before I try to think again.
<Tewi> Part of my upkeep was raising it to 5.
<Shale> It can only end in tears.
> Oh! Okay, 2 Sanity, then.
> Anyhow.
> Mary's got 3 Fight, +1 Voice of Ra, +5 Lamp of Alhazred.
> -3 is the Star Spawn's mod.
> 6 dice, I'm blessed and need 3 successes.
> 6d6 to be a Killer Battle Nun.
* Hatbot --> "Strago|Dexter rolls 6d6 to be a Killer Battle Nun. and gets 19."12 [6d6=6, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4]
> ... CLUE TOKEN
<Tewi> Why did we let Strago handle the dice again?
> d6
* Hatbot --> "Strago|Dexter rolls d6 and gets 1."12 [d6=1]
> ... fuck fuck fuck shit balls fuck.

Will checks in Arkham are made at a -1 Penalty. Sneak checks in Arkham are made at a +1 bonus. Fliers do not move.
A clue appears at the Unvisited Isle. A Gate appears at the Graveyard (spawning a Hound of Tindalos and Ghoul). Cross moves on white, Moon moves on black.
-
Unless anybody else feels like doing it, I'm gonna kill the Ghoul, sneak by the Hound, and close that gate.
-
I was told that the monsters ignore me until I close the gate (or at least until the turn after I come out of the gate), so I suppose I just sit tight and wait for the encounter phase to close the gate.
If I DO, I slide my Fight over to 5 for this round.
If that isn't the case, tell me so and I'll keep the Fight/Will where it is.

Spending $2 to restore my Stamina to full this turn. Sigh.

Shit like this makes me hate games.
<Yakumo> Alex, you here?
<Ranmilia> Yes
<Yakumo> Alright. Well, Shale hasn't moved yet, so I'll just put in my post that if he goes past me he can have my money. Going to try jumping into that new gate at the Graveyard.
<Yakumo> First, shifting to 0 move/3 sneak and using the motorcycle to get to the Graveyard at all.
<Yakumo> Then we're going to attack the Ghoul. Horror check first, at 3 will, 0 modifier.
<Yakumo> 3d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Yakumo rolls 3d6 and gets 12." [3d6=1, 5, 6]
<Yakumo> No problems there. Now, casting Wither. 5 lore, no modifier here either.
<Yakumo> 5d6

<Yakumo> So far so good.
<Yakumo> Now, the important one. Dodging the Hound. <_<
<Yakumo> 3 sneak, -1 modifier, two dice.
<Yakumo> 2d6

<Yakumo> Can't afford to fight it, so clue tokens.

<Yakumo> And I'll end up at the Asylum. FUCK YOU HATBOT.

Yakko: You seem to have forgotten to account for the Environment Modifier on... both sets of rolls? Since you got two successes for the ghoul, we'll let that go. Roll one more die to try and sneak past the Hound. If you succeed, you get your clues back.
-
I... apparently did. Well then.
<Tewi> Mrf. So apparently I can't read. Or my memory sucks. Or something. I blame making rolls at two in the morning since I realized we'd hit two days in the phase. <_<

<Tewi> Three stamina left, three dice. This isn't a skill check, either, can I even use clues on it?

All investigators in jail are released. No investigators may be arrested until the end of next turn. Leave this card in play until then to indicate this.
A clue appears in the woods (informing Monterey Jack of things to come). A gate appears at the unnamable (spawning a Cultist and a Byakhee). Hexagon moves on white, Dash, Triangle and Star move on Black.

Proposed course of action: Monterey Nitori heads to the Church and Blesses me this turn. Alex gives me the Paddy Wagon. Next turn I try my luck sneaking by the Hound and diving into R'yleh. Th... thoughts?
-
OR, I think this is a better idea: Alex gives the Paddy Wagon to Sister Mary, who uses it to jump into R'yleh this very turn, and once she emerges uses her fricking Elder Sign to seal that jazz and remove one of Hastur's DOOM tokens. She's blessed, would get 2 Dice to Evade the Hound of Tindalos (and get to re-roll the check if necessary due to her Stealth skill). I'd get 3 Dice but no re-roll, so even if Nitori blesses me Sister Mary's chances of making it to R'yleh are better. Also she's got a Clue Token, I think.
-
Move to South Church, because blessing SOMEONE is probably a good idea. But wait there are guys in the way~
<Nitori> Well then, let's see if I even make it there
<Nitori> Shift Speed/Sneak to 2/2, +1 Speed means I can still make it to the Church

[09:17] <Shale> Fuuuuuuuuck.
I really hope a gate to the Dreamlands opens up in the next couple of turns. Alternately, Nitori could bless me and that last 4 would retroactively be a success, but that seems like an inefficent use of a blessing.
-
Oh, and... not that I really mind, because I think I definitely wanted Find Gate anyway, but shouldn't my special ability as Dexter give me a third spell to choose from, there?
-
(http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/wiki/images/thumb/d/d2/EnchantWeapon.png/160px-EnchantWeapon.png)
Ahem. Sorry. That's your third option.
-
I mean, unless people really think we need another Enchant Weapon floating around for the Hastur fight, I'm cool sticking with Find Gate.
-
Yeah, Find Gate sounds like a plan to me.
General update from chat yesterday: Mary made her Lore roll. Nitori Blessed me, making my 2 successes into 3. If anything remotely similar to that situation comes up again I get the feeling Andrew Hastur will kill us all, so let's not.
Anyway, then I rolled a 4 and 3 on the Luck -1 check and got an Elder Sign (!!!!!) for my trouble.
I think all we're waiting on is Alex before an update?
-
Based on the stats Alex posted, it looks like he failed his check and lost 2 Stamina along with his Shotgun and Healing Stone. Or rather, had no way of even being able to roll his check (Luck -1 with Luck set at 1 = nope).
So... we can haz updaet pleez? If it could include updating the map on page 1, I would appreciate that as well.
Yay Elder Sign! Screw you, The Abyss!

Y'all're going to have to wait until late tonight for update, ~10pm PST at the earliest.

Hrm. This is sort of hard to get a handle on when I... think I know what peoples' current equipment is, but I'm not quite sure. I've a couple ideas, here, I suppose.
A) Nitorerey Jack could use some of his badass Sneakitude to evade the UTTERLY TERRIFYING tentacle rape that is the Southside Streets right now and make it to the Witch House gate, where it seems like he could Sneak/Fight the monsters easily enough. This would be made even more possible, perhaps, by Carolyn BAMFing in from being LiTaS and giving him the Motorcycle?
B) I can actually Focus my Speed up to 4 and make it to the Witch House this turn. I can take out a Cultist and a Warlock no problem, it seems to me, though the Dark Young worries me a bit. The only way I can be reasonably expected to beat it is with Shrivelling (and honestly Shrivelling + Wither, if Carolyn felt like BAMFING to me instead of Nitori and letting me have that), but that puts me down to 3 Sanity and I'm almost definitely not making that Horror check. ... oh, except for the fact that she can also heal my Sanity by a point! Yes! And... shit, even give me the Motorycle, which would allow me to leave my Sneak high as a last resort and/or increase my Will this turn instead. Plan B is looking pretty good to me.
Unless Nitori is better served by trying to Sneak past Tentacle-Rape-Ville in the Southside streets, maybe he just chills this turn and... I dunno, Blesses me, since I'm hopping into the Abyss?
Yeah, I'm definitely down for Plan B this turn if others are.
-
As for the rest... Kate, Carolyn, Jenny, and Darrell... seem like they're best served getting themselves healed up and/or buying shit/encounter-farming. Unless Jenny, say, wants to take a run at the Dhole (or the Hound of Tindalos, but I don't think she can move that far this turn) with Bind Monster, but I don't like the idea of the other two eating her and making her have to discard the Powder of Ibn Ghazi or whatever that badass thing is that we really want to save for Hastur.
-
Oh, I also just realized that I'm slightly an idiot: Shrivelling and Wither both are exhausted after a casting, so it's not like I can use them against all three Witch House monsters. Plus the dang Warlock's immune to magic in the first place. Perhaps Jenny also wants to go to the Magick Shoppe and give me her gun and axe as weapons against the more humany-type monsters there. She has money for potential spells, right? Or she could just have an Encounter of the random sort.
Sorry if this seems a bit like I'm just waving my arms around and shouting GIVE ME ALL YOUR STUFFS. Just trying to figure out a good way to get into this Gate this turn and take out at least the Cultist and the Warlock. It might be in our best interests for me to avoid the Dark Young completely, after all, since these Abyss gates will be closing anyway.

Bear in mind that I can choose to show up at the Witch House next turn, seal that instead of the Unnamable, and deal with the monsters - which might be a better idea anyway given how often gates open there. The Warlock might be a little dicey (can't drop my Will too low when I'm at one sanity), but the Cultist is fodder and I've got a blessing backing me up.
Edit: Wait, forgot the Dark Young. That might be an issue. Although there's still some merit to the idea of sealing the Witch House, I think, and you can just as easily go in there and then come out at the Unnamable. How unstable is The Unnamable, anyway? And if I keep writing "the Unnamable," will it stop looking like a word? The Unnamable.
-
Well as long as you Seal the Gate successfully (which, Elder Sign, so how could you not?), you won't have to even deal with the Dark Young, since it'll get tossed back into the cup. I'm happy to do it either way; I'm not sure whether you'd have an easier time of the Warlock than I would (assuming I can get Jenny's Axe and Derringer, because otherwise there's no way I'm killing it), but the simple fact that you coming out through Witch House would mean that nobody has to Fight or Evade the Dark Young does make your plan sound pretty swell.
I can get to The Unnameable without needing the Motorcycle in order to tweak my Speed/Sneak, either. Though I still wouldn't mind getting ahold of Wither and having my Sanity healed a bit. >_>
You feel confident enough about taking down the Warlock?
-
Oh, and yes, I'm all for Sealing the stupid Witch House. This is, what, the 3rd gate that's popped open there? 4th? Bollocks.
-
Re: the warlock, it's a -3 check and I've got +4 to Fight, Blessing, and can afford to miss quite a lot given its 1 damage against my 5 stamina (which will still be 5 after paying the cost to seal the gate, because I can heal myself). Heck, I could probably afford to set my Fight to 1 to give me a better chance at that horror check, and wait for two successes on two dice.
-
Alright, cool. I like your proposed plan, then.
-
Just posting my ramblings, and brief exchange with Shale, so that it feels less like I'm talking to myself. Anyway, now off to work.
> Kay. Jenny, Mary, and myself have $0. Kate has $1. Jack has $4. Vincent's in the Abyss but has $6. Darrell presumably healed to full at the hospital and has $4.
> Carolyn's got $3.
* Strago|Dexter shrugs.
<Shale> A tommy gun or head to the curiosity shoppe and hope for a magic weapon that we wouldn't need to enchant.
<Shale> Since sanity is at a premium against Hastur.
<Shale> With no scrub monsters to take down and no gates unjumped-into, encounter-hunting and shopping is the name of the game.
<Shale> Anyhow, I return to work. Later.
* Shale is now known as Shale-work
> Yeah, about to head that way myself.
> Maybe Nitori should try to run into people in the street, grab their cash and head for the Curiositie Shoppe.
> Which means that Yakkorolyn might do best to appear this Upkeep at South Church and give Nitori her cash and bike.
> Nitorijack could max out his Sneak (3+2) -- which presumably could get him past Southside's evilness -- with enough Speed to get to an Encounter at... Library? Science Building? Those look promising.
> And then hit up the Curiositie Shoppe next turn with his $7 wad of cash.
> Potentially even a bit more if Darrell or Kate also went to the Library/Science Building and also had encounters there this turn.
Can Investigators trade Trophies with each other? If so, Nitori could give Carolyn his monster trophies and she could Bless someone this turn, since without the bike she wouldn't have much chance of getting through Southside. It'd be touch-and-go even with the bike.
-
Duly noted on the Byakhee. Sorry about that.
Trophies can't be traded.
Also, if you have suggestions for Mary/Jenny (unless Excal shows back up) they're appreciated.
-
I sit in the hospital and wait to pay $2
-
Well, Mary's in R'yleh, so she doesn't have too many options. Jenny... I don't know, just go have an Encounter somewhere good? I don't really know where the good encounters are, honestly.
-
I guess I'll go to... Administration? For an encounter? Perhaps?
-
Alright, well, let's get this moving along.
Dexter adjusts his Speed/Sneak to 4/2 and makes a b-line for that gate at the Unnameable. I think people seemed fine with Jenny having an Encounter over at the Science Building, so let's have her do that.

Also I apparently changed the sanity number instead of the stamina number on my character info on the last post, fixing the numbers in this one to reflect I got knocked out, not driven insane, and upkeeping myself. Moving speed/sneak slider in preparation for moving later.

I won't be back in chat until tomorrow night, so if somebody wants to roll out that combat for me I won't object. No clue tokens and Red Sign has no effect on the Witch, so it's not like I have any mid-fight decisions to make.
-
So Sister Mary can't make her Will check, and ends up back in South Church. I don't think we'd agreed as a group on whether she should discard the Magic Lamp or the Elder Sign, though. Thoughts?
Aside from that, I rolled for Jenny's Luck check in IRC on Friday night and failed. But... forgot to copy it into the topic and now don't have the transcript. Does anyone else?

Do I get to keep that trophy, or does it vanish into the ether? Something tells me Other World combat has a special rule for that, but I can't remember for certain.
Also, that blessing is saving my ass all over this place. First it keeps me from getting LiTaS, then it gets me an Elder Sign, then it's the difference in combat. Yeesh.
-
Other World encounters = No Trophy
-
Oh well. I'll hit 5 toughness worth when I take down that Cultist anyway.
-
It was generally agreed she ought keep the Elder Sign. You guys aren't winning a slugfest with the Unspeakable at this point. Getting the close victory is more important.
-
Well now, that just don't look right, if you ask me...
The Stars Are Right
(Rumor)
Ongoing Effect: Roll a die at the end of every Mythos Phase while this card is in play (beginning the turn after it entered play). On a 1 or 2, place one doom token on the ancient one's doom track.
Pass: If a player discards an Ally while in the Downtown streets streets during the Arkham Encounter Phase, return this card to the box. Each player draws 2 Common Items.
Fail: If the Ancient One awakens, return this card to the box.
A Gate (Great Hall of Celano) opens at the Science Building (swallowing Jenny) and spews out two monsters (a Cultist and a Warlock). Dash, Triangle and Star move on White. Hexagon moves on Black. (No monsters move!).

So, we need to do something about that Mythos, post-haste. Sadly, it'll take me four turns to get Downtown (one turn to seal the gate, one turn to kick monster butt, one turn to move to Rivertown, and then I'll be in range of Downtown on the next turn). Can anybody else with an ally do better?
-
Looks like this one's all about Soppy. Time to be feeding Eric Colt to the Elder Gods.
-
Well, as rumors go, one that doesn't end up adding to the doom track and lets us trade one ally for 16 items isn't a bad deal.
-
Yeah, right? I see no reason not to sacrifice Eric Colt this turn.
Is anyone hopping in to R'lyeh? We've had pretty rotten luck in there so far, but... it seems like someone ought to do that jam. Maybe I could do it next turn after I close this Abyss gate. I don't suppose there would be anyway to hand off that Elder Sign to me before I went in? Hmmm.
-
Feel free to move sister mary wherever is convenient.
-
I'll go sit on the Woods or the Unvisited Isle, whichever is more likely to have a gate/less likely to kill me. Thoughts?
-
From what I recall when I was scouting locations, the Unvisited Isle isn't that lethal, and it has the possibility of a fullheal if you meet up with John Legrasse. The Woods has a higher possibility of moderate benefit, but it also has your old friends the Sheldon Gang.

Here are Sister Mary's stats. Since it was her Stamina that dropped to 0 from that R'yleh encounter, she starts this turn in the Hospital, yeah? Hmmm. Let's go have a random encounter at Ye Olde Magick Shoppe, see if we can pick up anything decent. I'd like for her to be able to hand off the Elder Sign to someone who could actually use it, but I'm not sure who can get over near her to trade for it. Nitori, maybe?

Let's give that Elder Sign to Nitori/Jack, then, and maybe have him sneak out of his little corner there?

Fair warning: I am going to Otakon tomorrow, and won't have full-time net access again until Sunday. Hopefully we'll see our haul from Eric Colt's noble sacrifice by then, so I can figure out how I want to set my stats for next turn's combat. If we get into another movement phase and I'm still not here, the group's best judgment can guide Vincent (but he'd really like to go to Arkham and get more sane).

My monitor went kaput on me today so until I have time to get a replacement I won't be able to roll in IRC. I can still get to the topic on my Wii though so if you guys want me to see something put it here.

You know, I just realized that Mary has the dang Patrol Wagon! And so she should probably have given that to Jack along with the Elder Sign, eh?
Any way we can turn back the clock on Nitori's movement this turn? :/

Due to that being my fault, we can retcon the truck being traded to Nitori. Deadline still stands at tomorrow night, so please decide where you want to go if you want to perform the trade.
-
Nitori: Arkham to heal up your Sanity and then R'yleh next turn, maybe? Unless you want to use the car to BAMF over to Soppy and he can jump into R'lyeh with your Elder Sign. He's well-healed and kind of a badass right now, I think? I dunno. Might also be better to have Soppy just going around fighting/Encounter-farming, to get the most use out of his unique ability.

I vetoed my action to go in the Graveyard gate and then I almost died and then I forgot my lucky carton of cigarettes so I travelled back in time to 1960 to go all hippie on my old self so I wouldn't almost die and it kinda worked

Merchant March on Crime!
All monsters in the Merchant Dist. streets or locations are returned to the cup. A gate opens at Independence Square, spewing out a Ghoul and an Elder Thing. A clue appears at the Unnamable (and goes to Dexter). Circle monsters move on White, Square and Diamond move on black.

=================================
So, the Hound decided to have a little snack. Tried fighting back but Hatbot wasn't having it. Discarding the map, used the research materials. Ended up keeping one clue since I needed two successes anyway.
<Yakumo> Oh fuck me.
<Yakumo> Well, fuck it. I may as well just crank the Fight/Will to 4 fight and try to get rid of this damn thing. <_<
<Yakumo> First I need to check the loan though. You still here? Or is someone else here?
<AndrewBlazingBlue> I'm here
* AndrewBlazingBlue is now known as AndrewRogue
<Yakumo> d6 for the loan, first.
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Yakumo rolls d6 for the loan, first. and gets 5." [d6=5]
<Yakumo> No payment for that.
<AndrewRogue> Yay
<Yakumo> Might as well roll combat, I've got better chances at that than sneaking by.
<Yakumo> Moving fight/will to 4/1, I'll autofail the horror check but I can take it.
<Yakumo> Lore check to cast Wither, Lore at 5, no penalty.
<Yakumo> 5d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Yakumo rolls 5d6 and gets 14." [5d6=2, 5, 5, 1, 1]
<Yakumo> +3 to combat, my fight at 4, -1 check, need two successes on six dice.
<Yakumo> 6d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Yakumo rolls 6d6 and gets 11." [6d6=2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2]
<Yakumo> Hatbot hates me. ;_;
<AndrewRogue> ...wow
<Yakumo> Man, it's not even worth using clues at this point. Fuck it, I'll go figure out what I need to lose and be worthless for the rest of the game.
<AndrewRogue> Don't have anything that'll help?
<Ranmilia> No Stamina?
<Yakumo> One stamina, I have research materials and four clues but I need two successes and I've barely got anything to lose anyway.
<Ranmilia> Ouch.
<Yakumo> Eh, fuck it. I'll try the material and clues just to get this off the board, there's no way I can be useful if I die here.
<Yakumo> d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Yakumo rolls d6 and gets 2." [d6=2]
<Yakumo> d6

Kate is paid and attempts to move out and sneak past the Elder Thing to get back to sitting on the unvisited isle. It does not go well. And yes this does have to happen ahead of Soppy in the turn order. Sigh.
Results
[04:48] <Ranmilia> I'd like to get to an unstable location, but if I have to fight the thing, okay.
[04:48] <Ranmilia> ... no, I can't fight the thing, actually, it'd pop me straight back to the asylum since I'd autofail the horror check.
[04:49] <Soppy-FEStive> Oh
[04:49] <Soppy-FEStive> So you sneaking by?
[04:49] <Ranmilia> Yeah. WHich might go poorly, we'll see.
[04:49] <Ranmilia> I get... hm
[04:50] <Ranmilia> One die of Sneak against it, since I need 3 move to get anywhere useful.
[04:50] <Ranmilia> No!
[04:50] <Ranmilia> Two dice, there is an evil fog.
[04:51] <Ranmilia> All right, let's see what kicks.
[04:51] <Ranmilia> 2d6
[04:51] * Hatbot --> "Ranmilia rolls 2d6 and gets 8." [2d6=4, 4]
[04:51] <Ranmilia> Sigh.
[04:51] <Ranmilia> One clue token! Here we go.
[04:51] <Ranmilia> 1d6
[04:51] * Hatbot --> "Ranmilia rolls 1d6 and gets 4." [1d6=4]
[04:51] <Soppy-FEStive> Can you move your Will to anything that won't autofail?
[04:52] <Ranmilia> No. It's -3, the environment gives another -1 to will checks, and will is my 0-3 stat.
[04:52] <Soppy-FEStive> Horror checks aren't will checks, according to Andy
[04:52] <Soppy-FEStive> I got hit with that in the first turn
[04:53] <Ranmilia> ... that's BS, horror types are the most common type of will check
[04:54] <Ranmilia> Main rulebook page 13.
[04:55] <Ranmilia> There are four types of special skill checks, evade, horror, combat and spell. If an investigator recieves a bonus to a skill, any special checks based on that skill also recieve this bonus.
[04:55] <Ranmilia> My will is 0 anyhow so it's moot in this case.
[04:56] <Soppy-FEStive> Mm.
[04:56] <Ranmilia> I am dealt 1 stamina damage for failing to sneak, go insane again, discard my lantern and retreat back to the Asylum.

I move my Fight/Will to 2/4. I try to sneak past the Elder Thing and fail. I fail the horror check, but kill the Elder Thing dead.
<Soppy-FEStive> Gonna fight the Elder Thing
<Soppy-FEStive> I'm sliding my Fight/Will over two to 2/4
<Soppy-FEStive> Will is 4, +1 for Will. -3 mod, so 2 die total.
<Soppy-FEStive> roll 2d6
* Hatbot --> "Soppy-FEStive rolls 2d6 and gets 5." [2d6=4, 1]
<Yakumo> I'm fairly sure once you fight it you can't move, still want to?
<Soppy-FEStive> You can't?
<Soppy-FEStive> I thought you could move after fighting?
<Yakumo> I'll double check the rules, but I don't think so.
<Yakumo> Yeah, page 8 if you want to pull up the rulebook from the wiki and check for yourself. Once an investigator begins combat with a monster for any reason, his movement is over.
<Soppy-FEStive> Ugh. Stupid
<Soppy-FEStive> Nix that idea
<Soppy-FEStive> I'll try to sneak by first.
<Soppy-FEStive> I'll keep the Fight/Will move
<Soppy-FEStive> So... 3 sneak, -2 mod.
<Soppy-FEStive> roll 1d6
<Yakumo> +1 for the Environment still in effect.
* Hatbot --> "Soppy-FEStive rolls 1d6 and gets 3." [1d6=3]
<Soppy-FEStive> roll 1d6
* Hatbot --> "Soppy-FEStive rolls 1d6 and gets 1." [1d6=1]
<Soppy-FEStive> Ugh
<Soppy-FEStive> Looks like I'm fighting it anyway
...
<Soppy-FEStive> I'll keep that roll from before, so 2 sanity damage
<Soppy-FEStive> Combat check against the Elder Thing
<Soppy-FEStive> I'm using my Shotgun
<Soppy-FEStive> 2 fight, plus 4. No mod.
<Soppy-FEStive> roll 6d6
* Hatbot --> "Soppy-FEStive rolls 6d6 and gets 30." [6d6=5, 6, 3, 5, 5, 6]
<Soppy-FEStive> Thats 7 successes
<Soppy-FEStive> Dead Elder Thing... and I don't move.

If I felt like going and buying an Ally from the Boarding House, how exactly does that work? Can I know at any time which Allies are available this game, and do I get to choose from among them? Or do I just hand in two Gate Trophies and get a random one spit out of the machine?
-
Given the wording of "pick" versus "draw," I'd assume it's your choice. Not sure though.
For my part, I don't have the IRC log handy, but I blew both of my clue tokens and still failed that roll, and why the hell would I lie about that? I'll nix Voice of Ra (not as useful against Hastur as Red Sign) and the Map of Arkham.
-
Player consensus seems to be that Sister Mary should politely decline the offer to go to the Black Cave of Getting Delayed Or Worse.
-
Since I'm considering heading to Ma's Boarding House to pick up an Ally, Andy, could you let us know which ones would be available at this point?
-
Sorry! Ahem.
The allies that are currently available should be:
Anna Kasalow
Duke
Professor Armitage
Richard Upton Pickman
Ryan Dean
Sir William Brinton
Thomas F. Malone
Thomas "Mountain" Murphey
-
Cool.
Are we not ready for an update?
-
I've got a good feeling about today...
All Quiet in Arkham
Each player may pass a Luck (-1) check to be Blessed. A clue appears at the Historical society (and is picked up by Mary). A gate opens at the Woods, spawning two monsters (Ghoul and High Priest). Hexagon moves on white, Dash, Triangle and Star move on black.

=================================
Got a blessing from the Mythos, cleared the Ghoul out of the Uptown Streets so someone else can get to the gate easier.
<Tewi> Hmm. Well, might as well get this over with, since I'm second in the turn order and the first is busy with a gate.
<Tewi> Luck-1 for me is a whopping one die.
<Tewi> d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Tewi rolls d6 and gets 4." [d6=4]
<Tewi> ...wait, forgot the luck skill, should've been two.
<Tewi> d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Tewi rolls d6 and gets 5." [d6=5]
<Tewi> Now, that check happened in Mythos, right? Do I have to upkeep the blessing right away?
<Nitori> Luck -1 for me is an awesome 1 die, yay~
<Nitori> 1d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 1d6 and gets 1." [1d6=1]
<AndrewRogue> No, Blessings are checked turn after
<Nitori> I think that's called "denied"
<Nitori> Is it round up or round down for discarding clues~?
<Soppy-FEStive> Current luck is 2
<Soppy-FEStive> So...
<Soppy-FEStive> roll 1d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Soppy-FEStive rolls 1d6 and gets 6." [1d6=6]
<Soppy-FEStive> Booya! Blessed!
<Tewi> Well, technically speaking the Mythos is the last phase of the turn before.
<AndrewRogue> You do not check the Blessing the turn after you get it
<AndrewRogue> Better phrased?
<Tewi> Alright.
<AndrewRogue> The same goes for Retainers
<AndrewRogue> You get their effect for one turn, guaranteed
<Tewi> Well, in that case I'll move up and clear the streets so someone else can get to the gate. Or at least try to. *eyes Hatbot*
<Soppy-FEStive> Anyone take care of that Ghoul?
<Tewi> I'll leave sliders where they are, environment is still -1 for Horror checks, right?
<Tewi> That's what I'm talking about, Soppy.
<Tewi> I'm first in the turn order that isn't working on a gate, and I'm right next to it.
<Soppy-FEStive> I might have it rough in the Gate though. 1 sanity left. Anyone got anything that cures sanity?
<Tewi> Anyway, with the environment and current will I'll just undo the sanity I give myself in Upkeep.
<Tewi> Lore check for wither, 5 skill, no penalty.
<Tewi> 5d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Tewi rolls 5d6 and gets 19." [5d6=5, 4, 3, 5, 2]
<Tewi> Alright, so that's 4 base fight +3 for the spell -1 for the Ghoul is six dice to clear the street.
<Tewi> 6d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Tewi rolls 6d6 and gets 29." [6d6=5, 2, 4, 6, 6, 6]
<Tewi> Oh! Before I forget, the loan.
<Tewi> d6

I'm actually before you in the turn order, Soppy, and in range of the Ghoul. Do you want I should kill it so you can hop in the Gate?
-
I feel like I should either do that or head toward the Boarding House and try to grab Richard Upton Pickman, who gives +1 Luck and makes my attacks ignore Physical Resistance. Seems like a pretty good idea.

Jenny adjusts her Lore in preparation for closing that there Gate. Mary, uh... seems like she wants to chill out and take another Encounter, I guess.

We rethought that later on. I'm at 1 Sanity and if something happened in the Gate I'd be devoured immediately when Hastur awakens, so do what you feel. I've taken care of the Ghoul, and next turn I'm hopping into the Asylum.
-
Moving to the Uptown Streets.
Is there any way to get some more of us Blessed before Hastur wakes up? I'd especially love to be (wish I'd had enough Luck to make it happen that last Mythos), since I'm picking up Upton Pickman and that will make me pretty good against Hastur.

By popular opinion in chat, Mary did head to the woods, where she tripped over a lockbox and found a severed foot. This drove her a little off the deep end, sending her to the Asylum.
Since it wasn't checked during the upkeep, Mary also, unfortunately, lost her blessing this time.
-
I knew we should have driven those crazy religious nuts out of town...
Lodge Members Held for Questioning
A Silver Lodge ritual lets 2 monsters loose in the French Hills steets (an Elder Thing and a Formless Spawn). A clue appears at Hibb's Roadhouse. A gate opens at the Black Cave, spawning two monsters (a Mi-Go and a Shoggoth). Circle moves on white, Square and Diamond move on black.

Shifting Lore/Luck to the left two spaces, paying a dollar in interest but keeping the blessing. Attacking the Dhole only to inevitably fail the horror check and end up in the asylum. I only have one clue and one spell so I lose nothing.
<Tewi> Even if I lose half I'll still have six bucks.
<Nitori> I think I want clarification
<Tewi> Which I could then spread to any poor people that happened to be there or anyone heading for a store.
<Tewi> Anyway, I'll roll for the loan and blessing then purposely fail the horror check unless someone changes my mind before I post. Loan first.

Is it also fair to say that Sister Mary chills in Arkham in hopes of getting a good Encounter, and adjusts her Lore/Luck as much as she can to the Luck end of the spectrum as possible?
-
No, Mary should take money from someone who is there and restore her sanity.
-
Didn't realize that was an option. Awesome.
-
I can give her $2.
-
I... also didn't realize that Jenny needs to fight the Hound of Tindalos, as well. Okay, I'll do that in a moment.
Other question: Shouldn't the Star Spawn have been removed from the map after R'yleh was sealed?
-
Yes. He's properly accounted for everywhere that is not the map.
-
Okay, as nobody seems to have voiced an opinion and I've more or less been de-facto-Jenny for several turns now, I'm going to say that she bollockses her Horror check, ends up in Arkham, and discards her Axe, Derringer, and Bind Monster.

Ma's Boarding House looks like suicide for you, Shale. I say you move to the Curiositie Shoppe and see if you can't purchase anything helpful for the final battle.

If you don't mind, Shale:

So Vincent takes $2 from Kate, hops on his motorcycle, and goes on a shopping trip to the Olde Curiositie Shoppe.

No complaints from me. I like this whole not-dead-or-borderline-insane thing I've got going on.

Alex is asleep and deadline is upon us, so we have chosen to move him to Theee Curiositeee Shoppee, as may well have been his final wish.

If folks are fully committed to the battle against Hastur, your best options are probably to try and gear up or do a little monster hunting to minimize the danger of a monster surge causing a huge terror track jump (which would be... very bad for you all).
Alternatively, you could try to have encounters at unstable locales to try and bait out the final gate during the encounters phase to get this show on the road.
-
I think the general consensus has been to go the "gear up" route, since the remaining monsters are all either extremely badass or flying around in the sky, and we'll be up against Hastur very very soon.
What's the plan for actually fighting him, by the way? All show up in IRC and roll it out in realtime?
-
I would generally perfer if we could get most/everyone in AIM for a few, yeah.
-
Provided Nitori delivers the paddy wagon as agreed, I take it to Ma's, smack the Hound of Tindalos around and take...let's say Duke as my trusty companion.

I kill the Formless Spawn then die to Hatbot so horribly~
<Nitori> I forgot, was I supposed to try to kill the Formless thing~?
<Ranmilia> If you can
<Nitori> 'Kay
<Nitori> I'll do that now
<Nitori> Shfiting Sp/Sn to 3/1 so I can make it there, first
<Nitori> I'll fight the Spawn first and take 2 San damage since I am cheap
<Nitori> Or should I clue this, I'm not sure~
<AndrewTheRogue> Might be a good idea to clue it? Hastur rape is imminent
<Nitori> I have two, I will try 1
<Ranmilia> Makes little difference, I'd save your clue
<Ranmilia> You can use it against a Hastur attack to save 2 sanity anyway
<Ranmilia> And you might be able to recover the san loss before he wakes up if he isn't doing so next turn
<Nitori> Oh well then I'll just keep it, I guess
<AndrewTheRogue> Right. His damage is 2 Sanity as well
<Nitori> Now the fun part, I have 5 fight + 4 from magic blade = 9
<Nitori> -2 check, 2 toughness, I get seven dice to hit 2 successes
<Nitori> 7d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 7d6 and gets 19." [7d6=5, 1, 3, 5, 3, 1, 1]
<Nitori> It's dead
<Nitori> Oh and there's a Dhole there
<Nitori> I don't want to fight it
<Nitori> 1 Sneak, -1 evade modifier and Pallid Mask give me 2 dice I think
<Nitori> 2d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 2d6 and gets 4." [2d6=1, 3]
<Nitori> This is where I clue token or try to I guess
<Nitori> 1d6
<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 1d6 and gets 3." [1d6=3]
<Nitori> Well banana
<Nitori> I have one left, do I lose it if I get murdered which is about to happen~?
<AndrewTheRogue> Uh.
<Ranmilia> Losses are rounded down so no but you would lose items
<AndrewTheRogue> One sec. tired and brain dead
<Nitori> All I have is the Pallid Mask/.38 Revolver/Enchanted Blade
<AndrewTheRogue> That works for the moment.
<Ranmilia> Mmmm you could just lose the mask then
<Nitori> That's what I was thinking
<Nitori> I'll toss that and go insane
<Ranmilia> Yeah, just take the death and ditch the mask
<Ranmilia> Failing the sneak check makes you take the stamina hit first, doesn't it?
<Ranmilia> Or is horror still first?
<AndrewTheRogue> Stamina hit, THEN you attempt the Horror
<Nitori> And by insane I mean battered and broken
<Nitori> I have 3 stamina so that kills me

I guess I take a free trip to the hospital and lose one sanity, since I don't get any dice for that check. I drop nothing due to rounding down.

Hey, I won't be able to get on IRC and do it probably until Sunday night, so anyone else can feel free to do my Encounter rolling for me. And take my next turn in some helpful way, if it comes to that.

A gate
Un

unnammable
It begins as a mere whisper on the wind. A gentle breeze that you suspect is nothing more than the act of an overagitated imagination on a dark night.
Hastur...
But soon, the sound rises in pitch and is joined by a chorus of barking dogs and squawking birds, their voices cracking and distorting as they join the sound of the wind.
Hastur...
Within moments you realize that it isn't just the wind and the birds and the beasts, but the voice of every citizen in Arkham is rising in a single crescendo, their voices pitching in a mad cry that chills the very core of your being, that twists your soul and sears your mind.
HASTUR!
The sky splits asunder, space and time tearing as the name is heard.
He has arrived.
The end is nigh.

Any objections to doing the battle with the GoO in IRC at around 8pm PST tomorrow?
If it is generally okay but you aren't sure you can be there, please post your stats and who you'd like to trust with your rolls.

I think I should be good to fight at 8 PST tonight. In the event that I end up being unavailable, here are my stats. I don't particularly care who controls me in that event, so... uh, Yakko can do it.
Do people want to give me some better weapons, since I ignore his physical resistance? I could do some damage with the Dep's Revolver and a .45, maybe.

With a shuddering sigh, the great figure fades from view. The sounds cease, a tranquil silence descending over the city. And then, almost like nothing had happened, the normal sounds of the night resume.
You've done it.

Woohoo! Well done, team. Sorry I, uh, inadvertently made two of you be dead. Aherm.
Thanks for running the game, Andy. Would definitely play again, especially with fewer players and an expansion or two. I really like the Innsmouth investigators hint hint.

Congratulations, everyone, for removing Hastur.
