Upkeep: Move Ursula's Fight/Will to 3/2 for the struggle to close the gate. Move Lore/Luck to 3/2 for help with what I'm doing next.
Movement: Cast Find Gate to take me back to Independence Square. 3(-1): 2, 2. Drat. I won't burn a clue this time; I'll just go through the encounter.

Upkeep: Jim was at 2/3 Fight/Will before. I'll knock him back to 1/4 and sneak my Lore/Luck to 2/4 in anticipation of a future gate close.

Luke gets my team spirit bonus because we're both in the asylum. So use that extra die for skill checks. Will take my turn proper when I'm not in a mall. Just wanted to remind of that.

Roland focuses extra hard on recalculating his stats. Speed/Sneak changes to 3/2, Fight/Will changes to 3/3. Roland then moves to Administration for an encounter.

Also Roland collects $1 and a clue token because of reasons.

The maps seem to have disappeared for me. Is this a me problem? Hm.

Also, I have like 0 idea of what to do that would be useful. I was planning on doing more murder, but now all the monsters are gone. So. Taking suggestions.

Are you still not seeing the map? It shows up for me in Firefox and IE.

As for what to do...I dunno, take out a bank loan?

PAX East is this weekend, and I think Queen Possum and Giant Head will be there. Let's see if we can finish up this phase, possibly another, before they head out to Bahston

You know what? There's only one thing to do when you don't know what to do in Arkham Horror: Stand around the Silver Twilight Lodge and try to get a membership for no reason.

After upkeeping to give Luke the extra die and adjusting her fight/will to 3/2, she'll do just that. Because WHY NOT.

Ok, so I think I am readily equipped to tackle some gate closing now. Move me to Independence Square.

Sarcasmorator/Mogri, let me know if you want me to cast the Gate closing aid spell for when you two pop out.

Also, I should have 1 clue token from getting Lost in Time and Space earlier.

Gave you that clue token and went ahead and added 1 since you're just about to enter an other world.

Hell, I only have $1, and I'm going to be in Boston anyway, so let's lie to some young'uns!

"Yes, James, you still own me, I mean the school $8 in fees. Yeah, tuition is $15,008 this year. I dunno, it's so weird."



Oh shit, i don't think he's buying it...

"Here you go, sir."

Oh, James. You are such an idiot.

I would love to accept, Carl! Let me just get out my wallet... uh, well, I guess I'm kind of broke from the psychiatric care, but, you know... hey, what are... what... hey...!

YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I'M A BROKE SECRETARY WITH A BROADSWORD!

*gets thrown out on her ass*

Ow.

Really? I can kill monsters but can't take a couple of Silver Twilight Bouncers? Boooo... anyway, I lose 3 stamina. Exactly what I wanted to happen.

Ursula rolls a 6 for her horror check, so that's a pass. If she kills it she gets a trophy, but either way she goes back to Arkham soon, so she'll take a swing with her trusty saber: 3(+2)(-2): 1, 3, 3. A total whiff. Ursula is deposited back in Arkham!

I was wondering how that was going to work.

Ok, I'll post up the new Mythos card and map tonight-ish. Feel free to post your next move, but I don't expect anything to pick up until next Monday.

So, I forgot that I gained +1 to all skill checks on that turn due to Minh's ability. Which means I would roll one die for the Sneak check. I roll a 5! So I'm not delayed.

I'm going to leave everything as is and use my dirty money to buy a skill. I'll also collect my free clue token (unless I miscounted).

Damn, I gave Queen Possum the wrong encounter. She's in the Dreamlands and I gave her a Graveyard encounter.

Ok, I drew a Dreamlands card and I'll give her the option of keeping the graveyard one or the Dreamlands one.
