There isn't anything I can do until this gate is removed. I'll stay here.

I feel like I should jump through that gate at the Unnameable and slice some fools with my broadsword, but I can't make out what monsters are there? Also if that's a good idea.

Ah hahahahaha that Gug can kill me in one hit, maybe not. May have to Mists him.

Okay, so are we considering Hastur being summoned as "it's going to happen" at this point? If not, I think I best take a Bound Ally to help and roll from there. Otherwise I'll refuse that dark power and roll on kamakaze without.

I'll think about it and make some rolls later today (sorry if I'm holding things up).

I was thinking of helping TGH kill off the dudes, but if he's already killing them off, I'm open to suggestions. If no one has any Great Ideas, I'll head to St. Mary's for a pick-me-up.

Mogri can finish the job when I'm driven insane/bleeding by the dumpster.

Let's use up all of my resources on the Hound first.

Hound Time
Sanity check: 5 will - 2: 3 dice - Not insane!

Physical immunity means I need to bring out the good shit; let's cast Shriveling.
Lore check: 5 Lore - 1: 4 dice - Unfortunate.
Burn Clue #1: Ok, good.
Fight Check: 1 + 1 -1 + 6: 7 dice - Murderized (but just barely)

Well that was(n't) easy.

Zombie Time
Sanity Check: 5 will - 1: 4 dice - Not the worst thing I've seen today.
The spell's used up, but at least I have a whip this time.
Fight Check: 1 + 1 + 1 -1: 2 dice - Crap
Exhausting my whip to reroll one combat die - Crap
Burn Clue #2 - Bwahaha!

Hooray for boring roll links! At least I made it through. Victory dance!

SCREW IT LET'S DO THIS AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Upkeep: sraymonds can have my buff, though I dunno if he'll use it.
Speed/Sneak to 4/2.

Moving to the Unnameable, going to crack some skulls!

Formless Spawn, I will MURDER YOU WITH A BROADSWORD!

Horror Check: Who needs Sanity!

Combat! 3 + 6 for my sword + 1 for my skill + 1 for my rivalry -2 = 9 dice for 2 hits. SLAUGHTERED.

Now for the Gug.

SCREW IT I DON'T CARE!

I take a Stamina hit from Overwhelming!
Horror Check: Less sane by the second!

And I just realized I did this in the wrong order because I lost the rival badge for this one OH WELL 8 DICE FOR THREE HITS LETS DO THIS.
DONE AND DONE!

ONE SECRETARY STANDS VICTORIOUS! ONE SECRETARY HAS SLAUGHTERED ALL! ONE SECRETARY is going through a gate with 2 sanity and 2 stamina.
Yay.

Ugh. With 2 stamina that is a shitty encounter.

Luckily I pass the speed check. So that's a thing.

Ok, for closing the gate, I get one die. I roll a 4. Ok, time to try and cast Sigil of Hermes Trismegistus again. 4 Dice to roll. 4,3,3,2. Exhaust Patrice and mine relationship card for one more try, and its a....4

Ok, just gonna burn clue tokens on closing the gate until I get a success. First clue token is a 5! Why couldn't I have done that before? I don't think I have enough to seal now, I only have one left, and I don't think Dusssstin has 7. But a gate is closed and I have one Sanity left!

Ow, my sanity!

I've got family visiting this weekend, and then we're off to Disneyland Sunday through Wednesday, so you can wait for me next round or take my turn for me. Just do what I'd do.

Patrice actually has 11 Clue tokens. She gained 5 more when the 9th space of the Doom track was filled. One of y'all could go ahead and seal the location if you so chose to.

Yea, we should seal one of them. Which area has a higher chance to have a gate reappear at it?

I believe that the Graveyard and Black Cave are equally likely to have gates appear, so sealing either one should be good.

We should seal whichever one Queen Possum was on so we could save 1 Clue token.

Graveyard it is then.

Edit: Well actually, CaptBlasto has 1 clue token and QP has 0, so it's still a wash.

sraymonds, I only have 1 Sanity after casting Sigil of Hermes Tri-whatever last turn.

Also, with that Shoggoth being Nightmarish, I cannot take him on at all. The best I can do is try to sneak by him or stay put.
