Take the deal, Improve Influence "Mr. Kane, you're going to miss your flight to Tokyo." "I'm going to Tokyo? What for?" "There's some conference that you are expected to attend. Something about fundraising and reelection?" Move to Tokyo with ticket. Acquire Assets.

Don't know why I called Charlie's improvement a 'deal'. Reflex, maybe. e: Also, because she resolved a Frozen Waste encounter, Agnes may immediately move to Lake Camp as a free action if she'd like. Stelas fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Jun 13, 2016 |

Ooh, sorry, slipped my mind. Daisy Walker (Krysmphoenix) - Lore 4, Influence 3, Observation 2, Strength 1, Will 3 - 5/5 Health, 4/7 Sanity - 1 Clue, 0 Focus, 0 Tickets.
Finally things were working as they should. The gods were smiling, and luck was in her favor. Perhaps just maybe they could stop this madness once and for all. A telegraph from Miskatonic University said a friend was in need of help in Rome. Perhaps they could share these blessings? Actions: Move: To Rome Blessing of Isis: 5 dice, targeting Diana Encounter: Gate if it's still open, otherwise Rome. Flesh Ward: 6 dice. Just use it as soon as possible, unless my Sanity is at 2 or lower.

Diana Stanley (Mykkel) Diana was still trying to understand how she had been cursed. She had been unable to free the Silver Twilight Initiate and had fled to Rome. Alejandro told her help was coming. So Diana would rest and refocus her energies in Rome. She could feel the gate in Rome, she just wasn't sure she could close it with the curse upon her. Actions: Rest Focus Encounter: Gate if it is still open, otherwise Rome. Notes: Thanks Kyrsmphoenix, Diana should be a lot less useful if the curse is lifted. Stela, can Wither be used in conjunction with Blunderbuss? If so, I would like to do so.

TURN 5 - ACTION PHASE CONT. Jacqueline retroactively Flesh Wards in response to Finn's injury. (Lore: 2 2 3 6) Flesh Ward, 1 success posted:It is unpleasant to watch the transformation, even when it succeeds. Lose 1 Sanity. Jacqueline gains a Funding, just in time for her Debt. Debt: Beyond Riches posted:The man wears a hat and a brown trenchcoat. "We do not want money," he hisses and grabs your throat. You feel as if part of your identity is being stolen from you. (Will: 3 5 5) Discard this card. Daisy becomes the Lead Investigator, if only to make Jacqueline's actions work. Daisy heads for Rome, and attempts to remove Diana's curse. (Lore: 1 2 2 4 6) Blessing of Isis, 2+ successes posted:The goddess smiles upon your cause. No additional effect. Charlie finds himself in Tokyo. Time to hit up Akihabara for those sweet figs. (Influence: 1 2 3 3 4 6 6 r5) Agnes rests up in the Frozen Wastes - however that works, exactly - and heads for the Lake Camp. Jacqueline heads for Shanghai and focuses up. Action Queue - Diana: 2 actions. (Can't rest - monster on the space.) - Charlie: Spend 3 successes. - Group: Confirm Lead Investigator (This affects who encounters the Cultist in Rome first.)  Daisy Walker (Krysmphoenix) - Lore 4, Influence 3, Observation 2, Strength 1, Will 3 - 5/5 Health, 5/7 Sanity - 1 Clue, 0 Focus, 0 Tickets. Finn Edwards (fool_of_sound) - Lore 2, Influence 3, Observation 3, Strength 2, Will 3 - 6/6 Health, 5/6 Sanity - 0 Clues, 0 Focus, 0 Tickets. Charlie Kane (Some Numbers) - Lore 2, Influence 4, Observation 3, Strength 2, Will 2 - 4/4 Health, 8/8 Sanity - 0 Clues, 0 Focus, 0 Tickets. Agnes Baker (Tricky) - Lore 4, Influence 3, Observation 2, Strength 2, Will 2 - 7/7 Health, 5/5 Sanity - 2 Clues, 0 Focus, 0 Tickets.

Jacqueline Fine (Tendales) - Lore 4, Influence 2, Observation 3, Strength 1, Will 3 - 4/4 Health, 5/8 Sanity - 0 Clues, 1 Focus, 0 Tickets. Mystery: As an encounter, an investigator on Lake Camp may attempt to free the minds of the dominated humans; a Cultist monster ambushes them! If the investigator passes the Lore test, he may discard 1 Ally asset and spend 1 Clue to place an Eldritch token on this card. At the end of the Mythos phase, if there are 6 Eldritch tokens on this card, solve this Mystery. Rumour: As an encounter, an investigator on space 2 may use an ancient portal created by a long-dead wizard of Mu; he resolves a Gate Encounter. If the effect allows him to 'close this Gate', solve this Rumour instead. When there are no Eldritch tokens on this card, advance Doom by 1 for each Gate on the board. On a Reckoning, remove 1 Eldritch token from this card.

While I obviously can't speak for the group, in the interest of hurrying things along, the Mystery is going to require 6 Clues over time to solve and Agnes only has 2 at present. A reasonably safe bet would be to give her the Intelligence Report to hedge your bets.

Fun fact: the last two games I ran of this in person I forgot about doom ticking down due to open gates. I'm a smart GM. You'll notice the map looks a little odd - I've fiddled around to properly add the no. of players, because this means I can now activate some of the auto buttons for doing stuff like gates and clue spawning.

TURN 5 - ENCOUNTER PHASE For the record, I'll always use rerolls if they're an every-time-you-roll-no-payment thing. So the Arcane Scholar or the Personal Assistant will always be counted. If there's a cost, though, I prefer warnings ahead of time but can run it afterwards. Combat Daisy encounters the Cultist!
Agnes activates Storm of Spirits, and spends a Health to boost it. (Technically, this can't be Flesh Warded - spend is not lose.) Combat Check (Lore+Alien Device-1+2: 8r1 vs 2): 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 5 r6. Agnes spends a Sanity to reroll the rest of the dice again: 1 1 5 5 5 6. No Health lost. The Rampaging Shoggoth is defeated! Encounters Daisy Walker City of the Great Race posted:Something is wrong with the strange alien body in which you find yourself. The other Yithians sadly claim you have a disease for which there is no cure. You struggle to recover before your body rots from within. (Strength-1: 5) Your recovery amazes the Yithians, who restore you to your own body. Close this Gate. After that, a Yithian-controlled doctor puts you through several traumatic tests. (Will: 1 4 6) If you pass, a hidden truth about humanity is revealed; gain 1 Clue. Generic City posted:The police report that people are being abducted by a monster dwelling in the sewer system. Wandering through the underground tunnels you are suddenly ambushed by a deep one! (Strength: 2 3) If you fail, lose 1 Health from the struggle. Tokyo posted:You are placed on trial for violating the Peace Protection Laws. (Influence: 3 3 3 4 4 5 6 r4) If you pass, you prove your innocence, and the government takes immediate action: discard all Monsters with 1 toughness from the game board. Alien Ritual posted:Agnes is assaulted by a Cultist! (Lore-1: 2 2 6) The Cultist is revealed to be a Research Student. Rome posted:A group of Blackshirts are interrogating an old priest, and you try to intervene. (Influence: 2 4) If you fail, you are shoved against the wall and arrested; gain a Detained condition. Research: City posted:You've become increasingly desperate in your fight against the Elder Things and are exploring darker measures. A member of the Silver Twilight Lodge offers you aid in combating the mind control of the elder things. You may gain a Dark Pact condition in order to improve Will and 1 other skill of your choice. Action Queue - Daisy: Move to Plateau of Leng? - Agnes: Choose Ally to sacrifice. - Jacqueline: Take the deal?

Krysmphoenix posted:wait, how come I can move to Plateau? Elder Thing special rules - after resolving a Gate encounter, you can blip over to the Plateau. (Due to the underlying code in the Vassal module I can't move the Elder Thing card to the main map, but it's in the second post. The Gate-hopping stuff is basically the only special rule they have.) e: I've just realized I should have offered Jacqueline the same thing a couple turns ago, but I think she was already headed for the Rumour at that point. I'll put it in the summary section. In general, my apologies while I work out the kinks. It's been a while since I ran this last and I'm a bit rusty and remembering all my workflows, and the internet thing hasn't helped. Should be good from now on.
