Upkeep: No adjustments? I'm happy for the moment.

Running to St. Mary's since I got myself nearly killed by evil Bouncers to take advantage of free health care.

Oh shoot, I forgot to make my move.

Upkeep:Then Mark's moving to the Library for an encounter.

I'll get Queen Possum's decision on which encounter she wants to keep and then I'll move on to the Arkham Encounters phase.

Upkeep, Speed/Sneak from 3/1 to 2/2

Shoot, forgot I wanted to cast Find Gate, so I lose 1 Sanity for casting, and roll 3 dice (4 Lore - 1 Cast Difficulty). Rolls are 3, 5, 5. So I come out at a gate. I guess I will come out at the Black Cave gate.

So I can't actually roll to close the gate unless I cast the Sigil of Hermes Trismegistus spell or burn clue tokens, since its -3 difficulty and the Lurker adds -1 to the check. However, I think Mogri is in a similar position. So, sraymonds, would either of the gates return the Gug or Formless Spawn to the cup?

I'm going to hold off on my turn until I see what Sarcasmorator and Mogri want do, as both of them have enough clues with dussssstin's to seal a gate. A gate needs to be closed this turn, but I think I'm in a better position to aid someone in closing their gate than closing one myself.

No monsters would go away this turn. On the next one, Akachi could close that gate and send the Gug packing.

Okay.

Wait, no. I get zero dice after figuring in the Lurker's penalty.

FINE

Fight check against gate 3(+0): 3, 2, 1, bullshit!

Clue: 2
Clue: 2
Clue: 4

The fuck, dice?

What do you guys think? Worth burning one of Patrice's clues to close the gate, or do I let it sit for another round?

CaptBlasto could still technically cast the spell to give someone a +1 to close a gate. If none of these gates are closed and another one opens up, Hastur is going to wake up.

Ok, casting Sigil of Hermes Trismegistus, 1 Sanity lost. Roll 3 dice (4 Lore -1 Difficulty). Rolls are 4,1,5. So it is cast. It gives a +2 to the check of anyone closing a gate. Who wants it?

I think it might be beneficial for Mogri to take it, and hopefully close the gate he is at, since you could reroll without the spell's aid next turn Sarcasmorator. If Mogri fails to close/seal, then I could burn my clue tokens to get 2 shots at closing the gate I'm at.

Rolled 3, 3. I can use clue tokens, but I'd rather hold off.

Just an FYI, but if a gate opens up on the next Mythos phase, the final battle with Hastur begins.

CaptBlasto and Mogri? You're our only hope.

This might also be one of those cases where we use Patrice's clues to help out.

Wait is that gate just chilling in the street?

Ursula, I think that's all yours. Patrice is a little too dainty for the gates.

Let's tick Ursula's Fight/Will over a couple notches so she can deal with any unexpected horror checks; Lore's going to be the gate closer this round.

That's if I don't pull another Environment Mythos card before you can explore the gate again and get back to Arkham.

Gonna sit tight where I am, to try and close this gate again. Tough luck on the move on the other gate though :/
