The sealed gate's symbol is the triangle but unfortunately, none of our monsters share that symbol.

Going from what I saw on another let's play of this, I think you only take 1 damage and sanity (from the Dhole's Overwhelming *1* and Nightmarish *1*). Not 1 *hit* for its damage stats.

Nope. If I had failed the Evade check the Dhole would have done its full health damage against me immediately, then regular combat would have begun. Overwhelming and Nightmarish damage is applied after you defeat a monster.

Yeah, it's a spell.

Giant Head is only down 1 Sta, so he doesn't really need to roll.

Mythos -Southside Strangler Suspected


However, the press is mistaken, and the murders were caused by 2 monsters that are released into the Southside streets.

Zombie and a Gug appear in the Southside streets.

Environment still in effect.
  • Will checks in Arkham are made at a -1 penalty.
  • Sneak checks in Arkham are made at a +1 bonus.
  • Fliers do not move.

Clue appears at : Historical Society

Monster Movement:
  • Elder Thing moves to Rivertown Streets
  • Dimensional Shambler moves to Easttown Streets

Gate - Endless Gate to Yuggoth (-2) opens at the Woods
Zombie and Ghoul appear in the Woods

Patrice gains 1 Clue token

Reckoning: Add 1 doom token to the doom track for each investigator with 3 Dark Pacts. Mark only has 1 Dark Pact so no additional doom tokens.



Doom Track: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

Gates Open to Begin Final Battle: 3/6

Elder Signs Needed to Win: 2/6

Ursula is technically down 2 points of Sanity and 1 health, but since I'm having her use the Healing Stone during upkeep she should be running at 4/4.

I forgot about the Elder Sign SAN/STA cost. I updated the figures as if you had used the Healing Stone.

I think I'm actually at 5/7 Sanity, 1 loss from a spell cast, and another from an otherworld encounter.

On Upkeep, move Speed/Sneak to 1/3.

Roland could probably head to the Woods and kill the Zombie and Ghoul before being sucked in if you guys want.

Mark will go and kill the Zombie and Gug if no one objects. I think a monster killing party is the right way to go for this turn.

I'll bump Jim's Fight up two more spots in anticipation of the eventual gate closing.

Alright, pending something appearing on the map that I'm not thinking of, Roland will move Speed/Sneak to 3/2, Fight/Will to 4/2, and head to the Woods.

In retrospect it was pretty stupid of me to sign up to play this expansion.

There are two monsters in the Southside street area, so let Mark try to deal with them before you go traipsing off into the Woods.

Flaming dessert is the best possible way to die in a fire.

Map's updated!

Mark sacrifices 2 STA for 2 Power tokens. 2 STA left.
Mo and then moves into the Southside street to clear the way for Roland.

Mark vs

Quote:
Zombie
Awareness +1

Overwhelming 1
Horror check against zombie: Autofail and lose 1 SAN
Combat check: 6 Fight (-1) = 5 Dice
Results : Dead zombie!

Horror check against Gug: Autofail, sacrifice 2 power tokens in place of San
Combat check: Exhaust flamethrower for +7 + 6 Fight (-1) = 12 Dice
Results: Gug flambe

I'm very glad I was blessed because I would have lost the zombie fight. I'm down to 1 SAN and 1 STA so I'm heading to the hospital on my next turn. Gives Roland a head nod as he walks by.
