Diana Stanley (Mykkel) - Lore 4, Influence 2, Observation 3, Strength 3, Will 1. 7/7 Health, 5/5 Sanity. 0 Clues, 0 Focus, 0 Tickets.

^{Wither - Spell, Incantation: When resolving combat encounter, Pass Lore test, gain +3 Strength until end of encounter. Then flip this card. Back:??

Arcane Manuscripts - Asset, Tome: +1 Lore when resolving Spell effects.}

Diana headed up the ship that would take her to Buenos Aires with satisfaction. Her report to Sanford had been accepted last night, the Order wouldn't know she had left Panama for at least 24 hours. She should be able to slip into Buenos Aires and out before the Order agents there were notified that she had gone rogue. She wasn't sure why, but she knew disrupting the Order's plans required her to see the Christ of Buenos Aires statue.

Actions:
1. Move Move to Buenos Aires
2. Acquire Assets If I get at least 1 success, I'll get a bank loan, and take Conspiracy Theorist. If I generate zero successes, I'll pass on the loan.

Encounter: Mysterious Disapperances Encounter

Notes:
Edit because I am an idiot and misread Elder Sign, rerolling my 1 will die is not worth a debt condition.

bank loan is 2 auto successes for Influence test, and you get a debt condition.

Wow. that Curse was poorly timed.

Go kill the monsters in Antartica.

Diana was disoriented, she had gone to sleep in Buenos Aires, having surrendered her manuscripts to the bruiser that was holding Alexandro Jimenez's
debts. Alexandro had been correct on the alien experiments in the Senator Kane had shipped her an interesting trinket that was supposed to assist in matters of will.
But she had awoken on a beach, Alexandro curled up on her right. She wasn't sure where she was, but this was not Argentina.

I think Charlie should stay put, and acquire assets.

Next turn, should Diana head back to Buenos Aires, head towards Antartica, or head somewhere else?

Mykkel: Oct 8, 2012; we were somewhere around hesaim on the edge of the spinward marches when the drugs began to take hold.

Anyone have thoughts on which Task I should keep? I'm leaning towards Sacrifices to Make, because I don't see me getting 6 clues.

# ¿ Jun 9, 2016 13:21

Mykkel: Oct 8, 2012; we were somewhere around hesaim on the edge of the spinward marches when the drugs began to take hold.

Okay I'll discard Greater Good.

I don't think we can change Leader before our next actions, but I think Diana could move 1 space closer to Jacqueline on her turn, and when Finn moves to that space on his turn he could use his personal action to both investigators the next space necessary.

Stelas, am I reading that right?

# ¿ Jun 9, 2016 15:21

Mykkel: Oct 8, 2012; we were somewhere around hesaim on the edge of the spinward marches when the drugs began to take hold.

That sounds good to me. Assuming that Stelas agrees that fool of Sounds plan will work, my actions:

1. Trade with Finn, get Blunderbass holy cross, give Elder Sign.
2. Focus

Edited my action to include cross sign trade.

# ¿ Jun 10, 2016 12:28

Mykkel: Oct 8, 2012; we were somewhere around hesaim on the edge of the spinward marches when the drugs began to take hold.

I'll use a focus point where it would be most helpful. I'll save the clue though.

Mykkel: Oct 8, 2012; we were somewhere around hesaim on the edge of the spinward marches when the drugs began to take hold.

Unless someone has a better idea I'll move to Rome and rest. The oplan being to try and get to Daisy for some curse removal in the near future.

Rome encounter.

Stelas can you move token on sacrifices to make so the text is visible?
Sorry for lack of flavor text, work plus packing has wiped me out.

I don't see an entry for Diana for Reckoning??

If Diana uses personal action against the cultist in Rome, does it become an ally, or just go away?

Alternately, should I move this cultist to someone else's space so they can get the cultist?

Also, Can Daisy come to Diana, since there is a gate in Rome it might be better to have Daisy and Diana attempt to close the gate.

Any complaints if I moved to Arkham and tried to take the Cultist and Gate over there?

Well it would be awesome if Daisy and Diana ended up on the same space, with Daisy having an action to do Blessing of Isis on Diana. How about you come to Rome instead of Arkham?

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.

Nope! Only one flat bonus (+X) may be used against a given test, regardless of source.

Makes sense.

Mykkel: Oct 8, 2012; we were somewhere around hesaim on the edge of the spinward marches when the drugs began to take hold.

woops, right.

1. Prepare to Travel (ship ticket)
2. Assuming Focus still works I'll do it. If not, Acquire Assets I guess.

Encounter: Combat, Gate, Rome

Mykkel: Oct 8, 2012; we were somewhere around hesaim on the edge of the spinward marches when the drugs began to take hold.

Sure burn the focus and clue. I've been cursed and delayed. Rather not be detained.

# ¿ Jun 16, 2016 04:28

Mykkel: Oct 8, 2012; we were somewhere around hesaim on the edge of the spinward marches when the drugs began to take hold.

1. Move to London
2. Ship to Arkham

Encounter: Gate

My thoughts on Diana for next few turns, is getting to either Buenos Aires or Antartica, depending on what the group thinks is more important?

I am thinking that after my next focus action, I should flip my task, anyone have thoughts on that?

1 sanity and a dark pact sounds great.

Not sure what space I should go to? City of elder things to scoop the clue?
Pretty sure I can't deal with the monsters on Buenos Aires by myself.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Mykkel: Oct 8, 2012; we were somewhere around hesaim on the edge of the spinward marches when the drugs began to take hold.

Absent a better suggestion I'll go to city of elder things.

Can I move to Antarctica as one travel action?
If so I'll do that. With a research encounter.

Otherwise I'll rest. and do the location encounter. (As it seems stupid to got to Miskatonic to get beat up by something I can't hurt.
