Yeah, sorry, that was my bad re: the Axe. Kane moves to Arkham, still riding the campaign funding. (Influence: 1 2 2 2 5 5) Chen uses her train ticket to head to Tunguska, and has the worst on-board meal ever. (Will: 1 5 6) She loses 1 Sanity, improves Strength twice and I'll resolve the combat when I have the monster bag with me. Scarborough grabs a train ticket and heads to the Pyramids. Culver hops over to space 5 and picks over Charlie's remnants. (Influence: 2 3 6) Action Queue - Kane: Spend 2 money. - Culver: Spend 1 money. - GM: Run Chen's ambush. - Stanley/Withers: 2 actions.

Debts can occasionally be bad, but they are generally worth it. I can easily keep the expedition spot clear of monsters with my special action, but I'm about as far from Tugunska as it is possible to get. I think my best bet for now is to keep farming spells. Although with the blessing I can potentially take on the Children. Buy ship ticket Acquire Assets

Culver grabs a Debt, the Arcane Scholar, and the Fresh Fruit. Reserve reveals:
Stanley picks up a ship ticket and wires in to the Silver Twilight Lodge. (Influence: 2 4) Withers grabs a ship ticket and moves to 8. Chen is ambushed by a Riot! (Influence: 1 4) Sadly, she cannot talk them all down. That milk's just too popular. (Effective stats: Strength 6, Will 4.) quote:No horror check. Action Queue - Kane: Confirm money spend. - Stanley: Spend 0 money, or choose a reserve card to discard if you wish.

Indigo Cephalopods posted:I'm still kinda just futzing around. If there's anything anyone thinks I should be doing feel free to let me know. Picking up clues is always useful somewhere along the way - they're rerolls, but they're also spent to resolve major effects on the board. As a general gameplan, Withers wants to load himself up with spells, Feed His Mind a ton, and leap into gates, which are usually Lore/Will.

Spells are always unflipped after you read the back, so yes, you always have it available. And yep, you can use it on yourself. I can take back your actions if you want to edit.

For Indigo Cephalopods Spells can be confusing if you haven't seen a full card. Here's an example I scanned:  When you have a spell or condition, this is all you're meant to see, the backside is hidden. It's fairly straightforward though, you roll dice equal to your lore rating. If Norman cast it now he'd roll 5 dice, so there's a good chance at least a few of those would come up 5 or 6. On the other hand if someone like Trish tried to use it they'd be rolling 1 die, and things might get ugly.  Whether you are successful or not, you flip the card and read the back. If Norman tries to cast this and two or more of his five rolls are successful, the spell goes nuclear and blows up everything on the space (good). On the other hand, Trish might have screwed up a few words here and there, and rolled a one. In that case her hands catch on fire and she suffers the consequences. Note: There are multiple copies of most spells in the spell pile, I think there's something ridiculous like four copies of Shriveling, and each and every one of them have unique backsides. Just because you've seen the back of someone else's spell card doesn't mean the others are at all similar, even though the front sides are identical.

Dark Pacts are simple conditions: every Reckoning, you roll a d6. If you roll a 1, something pretty brutal happens.

That's a reasonable suggestion. Lily, let me know if you want a ride to Shanghai. If so I'll stay here and farm again. If not I'll teleport to the Pyramids so we can hopefully kill the Children this turn.
