I feel like I'm getting nowhere fast. I'll stay where I am and try to buy something this time. Maybe I can help clean the streets or something.

Speed/Sneak to 5/1

Minh decides books are more her speed, and heads to the library for a little research (and to get away from the monsters for the moment) but first, a little more reading from her Ancient Tome. This time, as she flips through the tome, she finally feels like she unlocks its secrets! She'll grab herself a spell, and return the book to the library, as she has no more need of it.

Jim would've liked himself a little spelunking, let's be honest. But he'll settle for a tour of the bayou.

Just a gate. The Flying Polyp flew up to the sky.

Akachi gains the Enchant Weapon spell.

Mogri - So where is Jim Culver going?

I've always had good luck with the Newspaper for cash. The Train Station advertises stuff but it seems like 70% of the time the encounter is "Train full of monsters!"

Sorry, that was a vote for Unvisited Isle, Arkham's #1 unvisited tourist location.

Luke Robinson moves to the second space in the Dreamlands.

Mark Harrington jumps out of the Dreamlands and lands at the Historic Society and he's going to attempt to close the gate. Wish him luck!

Fight of 6, +1 for Dreamslands, -1 for the Lurker = 6 Dice.

Success!

I've got 2 Clue tokens, so should I borrow 6 of Patrice's clue tokens to seal the gate?

Done!

Mark has 0 Clue tokens left and Patrice has 3.

This gateway to the Dreamlands has been shut and the Historical Society is now sealed.

The Gug is sent back to wherever it came from.

Encounters get posted tomorrow.

No Upkeep for me, but I think you already assumed that

Those library people are SO LOUD, GODDAMN.

Anyway, I automatically fail, so no clue tokens for Minh.

I updated the encounters with the shopping stuff (which Roland can't afford) and the spells Ursula learned.

Hey guys, I wanna get an informal poll here. Being cursed sucks and all, but is it worth burning a clue token for a chance at not getting cursed?

My experience is that the patrol wagon breaks down with absolute certainty at the first opportunity, but cursed is forever.

Burned, and a 6 rolled. Whew!

"Something seems off here, but I can't tell what," Jim muses to himself. "Good thing I'm the Luckiest man alive."

Move to Train Station

Hopefully that's not the dumbest move.

I don't think you can make it there with what your speed score is at.

Edit: sorry, I don't think I've been paying enough attention to everyone's stats. Did you change them at some point?

Do we have people in both gates? I'll just go try to close one to close it if need be, though I can't seal it.
