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.

The end of the world? Madness and monsters? Flights of fancy for those less shackled to reality than Charlie Kane, politician extraordinaire. Charlie had a reelection campaign to run, he didn't have time to chase after Elder Gods. Beyond rubber stamping budget requests, of course.

1. Acquire Assets

I'll need my results before I decide on my second Action.

Speaking of, does anyone need a third Action?

If Charlie Kane doesn't have anything better to do with his actions, I'd recommend he start heading to Tokyo. Without any heavy hitters, we might need the monster killing encounters.

Sure, I can do that.

Mykkel, do you want to take a Debt? I'm willing to take the Debt myself and buy the Conspiracy Theorist for you.

That'll put me up into the 8 dice range for spells and combat, which should let me be pretty flexible in helping out around the board.

You're welcome to it, but I'm not planning on buying anything this next turn.

I'm planning on taking a trip to Tokyo and discharging my Debt.

I rubber stamp a budget request and the next thing I know I'm getting beat up by loan sharks. This job is going to get me killed.

"Mr. Kane, we have another budget request from that unlisted number."

"Approve it, but get the funds from a more savory source this time. And call my doctor, I need my leg patched up."


Rest, attempt to get rid of Leg Injury.
Acquire Assets, use Personal Assistant on a fail.

Charlie kept getting reports about monsters appearing all over the world, from Egypt to Antarctica, but there remained little Charlie could do from San Francisco.

Charlie Kane couldn't make heads or tails of the requests that kept coming across his desk. A ticket for a scholar of magic to fly to Antarctica? Not Charlie's business, but the loan sharks might be.

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.

Reasonable and the Silver Twilight Ritual will reduce Doom whenever.

Buy Intelligence Report for Agnes.

Alternately, maybe I should fly to the Outpost, move to Lake Camp and try to help Agnes with the Mystery?

I would (ironically) need to get a Clue from Agnes for that.
