Upkeep: Bank Loan roll. Mark avoids loan officers.

Mark then moves into the Rivertown streets to kill a Shoggoth.

Mark vs

Quote:
Shoggoth: Physical Resistance, Nightmarish 1
Awareness -1

Code:
Combat Stats 
Horror 	          Toughness 	Combat
Rating 	Damage 	  	       Rating 	Damage
-1 	3 	     3           -1 	3
Horror check!

Will 2 -1 = 1 die. Success! Mark loses 1 Power due to Nightmarish 1.

Discarding Holy Water to add 6 dice to my combat pool.

Fight 4 +6 -1 -1 = 8 dice. Mark is glad that he didn't pour out the holy water and fill the flask with gin because he barely killed the Shoggoth.

I've cleared the way for Blasto and Possum to leave their current locations.

I'll move Speed/Sneak to 1/4. I suppose my movement consists of standing up and dusting myself off.

I always forget this, but do delayed characters still get an encounter?

Upkeep:Move my Speed/Sneak to 3/1.

I can't make it to the Asylum this turn, so I guess I will hide out in Velma's Diner for a turn.

Edit: Yea, they do. That way you have to have 2 encounters in Another World before returning. Else The Giant Head would only have 1.

I think so, otherwise my next turn I would be on the second part of Another Dimension and only having one encounter.

Edit: Or exactly what CaptBlasto already said.

You'll need some spending money for when we celebrate our awesome win over dark forces.

That's right. Also, I want at least one of my relationship powers to kick in at least once.

I'm so lonely ;_;

If you buy a Blessed, you discard the Cursed card but don't get a Blessed card.

And I just now realized that I should have been rolling to keep my Blessed card each upkeep. I'll just go ahead and discard it.

You know, I'll keep taking the successes.

Minh is rolling in cash now. Maybe she can just bribe Hastur to go away.

Five dice? First one's a success.

Now, what are the odds that a black musician in 1920s America has used college textbooks?

Let's shut down this gate, eh?

Check on Lore (3): 3, 5, 3. Success!

I have no Clue tokens. Does Patrice have enough for me to seal this thing?
