Move to the portal room, use the ritual. Make it rain with clues. If anyone were to, say, use a trade action while in a space with me, happily give them whatever they want except for the medical textbook.

It's cumulative: every time you do the check and get a success, the text is 'the ritual is closer to completion'.

ROUND 15 - INVESTIGATOR PHASE Rita rituals up. quote:(Lore + Arcane Manuscript: quote:(Lore + Arcane Manuscript: quote:(Lore + Arcane Manuscript: quote:With a final shout, you have completed all the necessary actions and chants. You speak the eldritch words - and as you complete the counter ritual energy surges forth from the rift, tearing through the ritual circle. Before your eyes, the space around you seems to knit itself together, walls and surfaces rebuilding themselves in instants. Then it all fades, and an eerie quiet falls over the mansion. It is over. Investigators win! Preston reveals Selfish Motives: You do not win the game as normal. Instead, you win the game if the investigation is complete and you are not Wounded. Preston wins! Thanks to my players! As a test run, this went pretty smooth all told. Laid out in text, the intro scenario is definitely a bit bare bones, and the final check is kind of eh to do in text - it's a bit snappier when the turns go faster, and I thought the mansion was supposed to start disappearing much earlier - but despite all the transcribing it was a fun game to run.
