I'll take my dollar, move Speed/Sneak to 4/1 and go have an encounter at the curiosity shoppe while I supervise all of the more productive gate-closers.

I have 0 idea what to do. Should I get one more free heal, or is there a thing I should be doing useful out there? Thoughts?

I'd say go for the free heal or have an encounter at the hospital.

I'll do the free heal, then. My broadsword thirsts for unholy blood, and I can't do that if I don't have Stamina.

Ok, I've got 1 die to roll now that the new Environment is in effect. I roll a 4. So lets cast Sigil of Hermes Trismegistus again. Rolling 4 dice, I roll a 2,1,4,2. Exhaust Patrice and my Relationship card for an extra die. I roll a 4.

Bluh!

By the way, I don't think you ever adjusted my stamina down after the fight that nearly killed me.

No upkeep for me, but my Sanity should be at 2/7 I believe. (2 lost for find gate and and sigil 2 turns ago, 1 for sigil last turn)

Gonna stay here and hopefully the dice will fall where they need to be this turn.

Upkeep: Set Fight/Will to 1/5, Lore/Luck to 3/2

Movement: Northside Streets. I'm trapped and the hound will attack me if he moves anyway, so may as well strike first.
