I'll adjust Speed/Sneak to 1/4 and Lore/Luck to 2/3.

Roland should also be down one stamina because of the last encounter.

I'm not sure what I can do that's useful, being sort of out of range of most open gates, so Ursula will just head on over to the Library to see if she can find anything interesting.

A Luck (-1) check gives me three dice to roll two successes on. Result: 5, 4, 3.

Drat. I'll burn 1 clue in hopes of getting something better: 6.

All right! What do I win?

It's not that Patrice has bad luck, she just doesn't have much good luck.

Patrice autofails the check and throws the papers in the garbage.

Roland has a Luck of 3 (3 - 1 + 1 (skill)).

Roland also does not have a clue.

Someone refresh my memory. Jim Culver lost in time and space this round and delayed and next turn he'll be undelayed and get to move back into Arkham? Or will he have one more round being lost?

Mythos - Blood Magic (Enviroment)


Investigators who end their movement in Rivertown streets may choose to delve into dark mysteries using their life force. They roll dice equal to their current Stamina, and for every failed die, they lose 1 Stamina. If this reduces them to 0 Stamina, they are devoured and the player must start a new character. Otherwise, they gain 3 Clue tokens.

Clue appears at : The Unnamable

Monster Movement:
  • White - Square, Diamond - None
  • Black - Circle
    • Dhole moves into the Miskatonic U Streets
    • Mi-Go and the Flying Polyp leaves the skies and enter the Rivertown Streets

Gate - Moving Gate leading to Another Dimension (+0) opens at Independence Square
  • A Dimensional Shambler and a High Priest appear

Patrice gains 1 Clue Token.

Reckoning- Give the Devil his Due: Each investigator with a Dark Pact must discard 1 Gate trophy or 5 toughness worth of monster trophies or 5 Clue tokens, if able. If he cannot, he must discard all his monster trophies and Clues.
  • Marks discards Gug, Maniac, and Zombie



Doom Track: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

Gates Open to Begin Final Battle: 4/6

Elder Signs Needed to Win: 3/6

Arkham Monster Limit: 8/11

Terror Level: 1

I'll heal up that last Stamina point, and move my Fight/Will one over toward Will. And let's up my Lore score by 1 while we're at it. So:

Sanity: 5/5
Stamina: 5/5
Speed/Sneak: 3/2
Fight/Will: 2/3
Lore/Luck: 2/3

I'm thinking I might head to Rivertown to give Minh Thi a hand.

I thought you were calling the monster a dick hole. Turns out it's really called Dhole.

Yeah, Patrice sees the Dhole are Scooby-Doo runs to The Witch House

I can port back to Mintyfan's location. Or to Hibbs and then foot it the rest of the way.

You know what? Let's just go for it. Kamikaze Minh, baby.

Upkeep: Fight/Will to 2/3.

Mi-Go Fight: Horror Check. Two Dice. Everything on the line.
Great. Thanks.

I don't need this Cigarette case anyway. Let's try that again.
Noticing the reflection of the Mi-Go in her Lucky Cigarette Case as it sneaks up on her, Minh finds the time to steel herself for facing down the unknown, though she drops the case in the process of nervously readying her weapon.

That's better! Thank you, cancersticks!

Now for murder. 3 Fight + 2 for the Derringer is 5 dice for one success. Doable.
One Success, but that's all Minh needs to kill that Mi-Go. Unique Item me, please! An Enchanted Knife to go with my gun would be appreciated. (I can dream, right?)

Okay, now I'm going to cast Mists of Releh to dodge this Flying Polyp and call it a day.
Done and done.

Whew.

I think it's funny that the game says Minh is Korean when the name is clearly Vietnamese, if anything.

I guess I'll reappear at Hibb's. Gotta get my booze on.

Hmm, I am not too sure what I should do this turn. I could stay at the Curositty SHop and attempt to gain another spell for Sarcasmorator and myself; we should be able to hit a Shriveling soon. I could also just slow heal my Sanity at the Hospital so that I can constantly cast the spell that helps for gate closings for everyone. If anyone wants to suggest a move, I am all ears.
