I play way too much Eldritch Horror so of course I want in on another game! Jacqueline Fine the psychic, or Silas Marsh the surprisingly useful go fast on the water man.

Jacqueline Fine 1: Take a boat ticket in arkham 2: Acquire Assets Can't really plan ahead too well on this. As standing orders, I'll use my passive ability any time the opportunity arises. I'll try to be on the ball with Flesh Ward, too, but any time it's obvious to use (or if anyone just asks for it to be used on them) I'll go ahead and use it. Encounter will be an Arkham encounter. 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.

I should have the kerosene, too. More to cycle out the cards than out of any need. I'm sure that someone will need lighting on fire eventually.

If there's no other considerations for who's lead investigator, I'd like to go as early in the turn order as possible so that I have a chance to use my passive or flesh ward on investigators downstream of me.

I can't be the lead investigator while LiTaS, but if lead gets put on Diana Stanley then at least I'll go second, so I'll come back in time to use my powers on the later encounters.

Stelas posted:I wasn't certain if you wanted to pop a Clue on that one, since it's a pretty big effect. It's tempting, but 2/3 of the time I'm just throwing away a clue for no gain. I might need that clue to survive these monsters, if the rescue plan doesn't come through.

Actually, I've thought about it a bit, and the three-in-one whammy of that LiTaS event is probably bad enough to justify taking a long shot chance. Spawning an extra gate suuuuucks. If it's not too late, Jacqueline uses a clue to reroll.

Jacqueline: If anyone takes more than 2 damage, I'll flesh ward. Also, I'll flesh ward for 1 damage if anyone asks for it. I'll use the kerosene if I have to fight the 5 toughness dickweed, otherwise I'll save it and take my lumps.

It's kind of a tough choice for this game. Getting the ally for killing the cultist is super good, and kind of crucial for some of the possible mysteries, but just stomping an entire pile of monsters for a single action is great, too. e: Now that the ghoul is gone, the dhole can't kill me outright. I'll stick to my standing order, use flesh ward if anyone takes 2 damage and trust in the kerosene to keep me alive. My plan on future turns will be to limp up north and help with the clues for the mystery. Tendales fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Jun 10, 2016 |

Jacqueline: Hmmm.. If can finish the dhole on my turn, that saves finn from the beating, and gives us two attempts at closing the gate. I'll spend my clue on the fight check. If the clue doesn't work, I'll save the flesh ward for finn.

At least one of us should stay on the pyramids, finish off the dhole, and close the gate before it makes doom. As a frail weakling personally hated by the cosmos itself, I call not it. No wait, I just realized I got the Monster Hunter. NO DIE ROLL REQUIRED. Jacqueline: 1) Monster Hunter does 1 damage to the dhole, KILLING THE FUCKER WITH NO CHANCE OF FAILURE 2) Rest. I should be good to handle the gate, my stats skew that direction. But, uh, you guys have seen my die rolls. If you think I need a backup I won't argue. fool_of_sound posted:I guess we're going to have to do something about the drat shoggoth and outpost gate. What actions are we allowed to take while monsters are on our space? The only actions that monsters prevent are resting and acquire assets, any other action is fair game.

Jacqueline has missed FAR too many actions already this game, and doesn't really need the extra lore. Do not become delayed. e: Haha, a clue spawned on my space? This game is doing everything it can to waste my actions. If the stick doesn't work, it goes for the carrot. Still, no.

Jacqueline: Take the funding, but don't use it on the debt. I'll just let the debt go off as normal. If no one else got hurt, I'll Flesh Ward Finn's boo boo. If Finn takes the dark pact, I'll peek at it. Assuming I don't get dumped into time and space or anything 1) Move to rome (unless Finn gives me a ride there) 2) Focus 2b) If Finn did give me a ride, take a boat ticket. ALTERNATE PLAN If Finn takes me to Istanbul, then: 1) Travel to Shanghai via train ticket 2) Focus This would let me get to that rumor next turn to start working on it. Mykkel posted:If Diana uses personal action against the cultist in Rome, does it become an ally, or just go away? Nope, discarding is not the same as defeating.

Daaang, two skill ups? It's probably a bad idea, but I'll take it. Jacqueline gains a dark pact, improves will and strength. Too bad I can't peek at my own cards! e: If we get a reckoning this mythos, I want to flip the funding before testing the dark pact.

Yeah, there's no special interaction between LiTaS and Detained, it works just like you describe. Delayed+LiTaS, though, I don't remember offhand how those work together, since delayed is a weird not-a-condition thing. Pretty sure that being delayed still wears off on the action phase while you're lost. Also, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit what do we even do right now. There's not a whole hell of a lot I CAN do right now. I can't kill the vampire to close the tokyo gate, can't take a travel ticket to get anywhere really useful. I probably have to go to SF and, I dunno, shop or something. I don't see any way for Daisy to banish the vampire, can she?

Oh, hey, I miscounted. I thought Istanbul-Tokyo was 4 spaces. Jacqueline So: if Daisy is willing+able to banish the vampire, I go hop in the tokyo gate before it makes doom and shop in Tokyo. If Daisy would rather do something else, or fails the banishment, I'd rather move to SF and shop. Either way, shopping will be 0: debt + lantern + amulet, 1: just the lantern, 2+: lantern + amulet (I'll tweak this if the reserve changes)

Jacqueline: Spend the health. e: and don't teleport to the plateau. Repeat LiTaS cards aren't actually a problem, since the entire condition deck is supposed to reshuffle every time a condition card is discarded, so there's actually nothing stopping a discarded card from being immediately drawn again. e: I think next turn I'm going to head down to Sydney and start working on that doppelganger. The monsters aren't likely to kill me, but it'll take me more than one turn to work through them, so I wouldn't mind a little help to get through them faster.

OK, barring weirdness in the mythos phase I'll send Diana some clues next turn and hang out in tokyo a little longer before heading south. Meanwhile: Jacqueline: If there's a reckoning this mythos phase, use the funding to clear the debt rather than flipping either of them.

Jacqueline: If Mark successfully quarantines, 1)take a boat ticket and 2) head to australia for cleanup duty and hopefully the gate. If Mark doesn't quarantine this turn, 1) Acquire assets (try for quarantine, spend focus and take debt if needed but no clues) and 2) Move to Tokyo to maybe get some remote murder done You mystery solvers have all the clues you need for the turn, right?
