Diana Stanley

Gate: The Past posted:

Through the slits in the door, you see yourself as a small child, sitting up in bed. "Who's there?" asks a frightened voice. You try to calmly persuade your younger self that you're a friend. (Influence-1: 4) The child calms down, but eyes you suspiciously. "Listen carefully to what I say," you tell yourself. "It might save your life...". You may become Delayed to gain 2 Clues. Whether you do or not, close this Gate.

:cthulhu: That was one of the trap Gates: Influence-1 and Strength, and if you fail both you take six damage.

TURN 12 - MYTHOS PHASE

A Mythos card is drawn. 6 Mythos cards remain. (2 green, 3 yellow, 1 blue)

Mythos posted:

Driven to Madness - Yellow (Omen, Reckoning, Gate)

There was a time you took comfort in the company of others, but no longer. You have sacrificed so much for them. Are the desperate masses even worth saving? Can the human race ever hope to earn its redemption?

Each investigator may discard any number of Ally assets, then loses 1 Sanity for each Ally asset he has. Each investigator that loses Sanity in this manner gains a Madness condition.
The Omen moves on to Blue. Doom does not advance.
There is a Reckoning.

Reckoning posted:

The Serpent People are dormant. (Serpent People: 3)
Diana's Debt matures, but it isn't relevant.
Jacqueline's Debt matures, but it isn't relevant, because we're just here for...
Diana's Dark Pact...




... does not fire. (Dark Pact: 2)
Two Gates spawn, but no-one cares, and everyone releases their Allies to avoid any damage.

The fourth Mystery is solved: the investigators win!

Thanks to all my players for a very smooth game - EH in a month ain't bad, especially when I'm rusty on it and especially when it's the longest Elder One out there. So far, I'm batting 16/18 games completed, which ain't bad. Up next is... I'm not really sure. I've got Chaos in the Old World just lying around. Maybe I'll try for another game of Clash of Cultures:Civs. Alternatively I'm very slightly flirting with the idea of doing Pandemic Legacy, but ... that would be one hell of an undertaking.

Thanks for running this. I can't believe we pulled off a win after that explosion of bad luck midgame. Don't take Dark Pacts for +1 stat!!
