You can't get a train ticket unless there is a train route there. Also you might want to try clearing your debt

Hmm, I missed the train ticket restriction. I may as well try clearing debt then. Cast Plumb the Void. Move Lily to Shanghai Test influence to clear debt

Kane picks up a Debt, gaining 2 Clues. Culver loses a Health, closing the Gate. Chen tosses out two Clues, but the future refuses to change! (Encounter post is updated.) Withers casts Flesh Ward on Culver. (Lore: 1 5 5 5 5 5 6) Flesh Ward... uh... 6 successes posted:The magic wards you from physical harm, rendering you nearly immortal.

TURN 3 - MYTHOS PHASEMythos posted:From Bad To Worse (Yellow: Omen, Reckoning, Gates) The Omen advances to Red. 1 Doom is gained from open Gates. Doom advances to 7. There is a Reckoning.

TURN 4 - ACTION PHASE Status - Turn 4 posted:Doom: 7 Action Queue - Culver: Gain a Dark Pact and spend a Clue for the Mythos card (it's a Deal), or advance Doom by 1. - Everyone except Chen: 2 actions. - Chen is Lost in Space and Time!  I'm actually a little mad that that status effect is back. I mean, I guess it's actually better than being Delayed in a way, because you can't get hit by the Mythos card, but it still brings back bad memories of not being able to do anything for a half hour or more.

Take the Pact It's probably going to be a bad idea in the end, but avoiding advancing the doom track is probably better. Actions Use Investigator Ability Cast Shriveling Hopefully, I can drop the debt and get myself ready to move to Buenos Aires next turn to help out, however I can.

Ok, I have the two best rituals in the game (IMO), so no reason to stay in Beunos Aires. Cast Blessing of Isis, targeting Norman I see two places I could go: 1. Go to the Himalayas and kill the cultist so doom doesn't advance on a reckoning, then do the expedition. 2. Go to the Pyramids and help Trish kill the Children faster. This also puts me in place to bless her next turn. EDIT: duh, just realized a gate opened on me. I probably should stay and try to kill the hound. Is there someone else I could teleport somewhere useful? Arrion fucked around with this message at 23:46 on May 18, 2014 |

I just had an idea. Teleport Culver to the Pyramids, then he can cast Shriveling on the Children If we do that I'd like to request Lead Investigator for this round so I get first shot at the Children

Sure Cast Plumb the Void. Attempt to move Culver to the Pyramids. I'd suggest using your special action to regain a sanity before casting, just in case.

Indigo Cephalopods posted:Am I able to grab a ship ticket while the Hound is in Buenos Aires? Yeah. I've never quite figured out why, but getting tickets is a-okay even when unholy creatures are rampaging through the port. I guess everyone's just eager to leave. I'll start getting stuff run in the morning.
