4 vs. 2 chaos token tentacles ; FAIL take 2 horror
Withers grabs hold of a rusty radiator because the wall opposite seems to be closing in, and then the radiator itself pushes him forwards, inch by inch, he's going to be squashed for sure! He cries out, cradling his head as he collapses; one second, two pass by, and he doesn't feel the expected cracking of his bones. He peers confusedly, from where he's sprawled upon the dirty floor tiles, down the hall but all seems as it should? He picks himself up and self-consciously brushes his knees.

Suddenly, one of the patients in the yard rushes at Mark, screaming "Get out of my head!" He wraps his hands around Mark's neck and starts to throttle him, until Mark knocks him back with a well-placed punch.

Withers enters the Mess Hall and begins investigating; he uses up his remaining fingerprint powder, but successfully discovers somethings of interest beneath a plate of half-eaten bolognaise. He decides to do extra searching and this time discovers a curious pearl-backed cockroach.
So that's 7 clues now!

Re: The Path to Carcosa
Okay
Intimidate away... Ah, to advance the act does't require an action, so 5 vs. 4 chaos token -1 ; success!
Withers affects a limp. "War wound playing up again" he gasps to the nurse "Philippines '99. I don't suppose Dr. Mintz has medical training, does he?"
"Oh! let me take a look" says the battle-axe.
"Dr. Mintz?" he pursues.
The nurse reluctantly hands over the key to the basement. "Maybe it'd be best to see the Doctor."

The madman rushes at Mark again, shrugging off the injury. He has to shoot him in the chest, but still the man does not fall. Finally, he clubs the guy over the head with his pistol and drops him. Then he beats a hasty retreat.

Nurse Adkins hands a weighty tome to Withers. "Give this to Dr. Mintz when you see him" and, after a perceptible pause, she adds "please."

Mark prepares to head for the basement now that they have the keys.

Discard Fingerprint Kit
The wood case containing his Fingerprint Kit becomes spongy, like it's rotten with decay, he drops it in disgust and then scuffs it under a table.

Re: The Path to Carcosa

A pair of burly orderlies burst out of the yard in pursuit of Mark and wrap their arms around him. "That's far enough, mister!" says one of them. "You can't go around assaulting your fellow patients!"
"But he attacked me!" insists Mark. "And I'm not a patient, I'm a visitor!"
"Nice try," says the other orderly. "We've had more than one patient try to escape that way."
Mark struggles, but they soon have him wrapped up in a straitjacket, after which they return to the yard. At least they hadn't found his gun, as he had put it away,

Yeah, maybe those card draws weren't too bad after all, just wasted our time. Right, Withers will head for the basement.

Withers meets up with Harrigan, but before he greets him with a halloo! he notes a strange constriction about his torso and utters "Huh?" it's a straitjacket. He busies himself unbuckling its straps.
"What the hell happened to you?
"I've got the keys to the basement. I'm going there now, catch up with me when you can."
Action 2: Move to
Patient Confinement 1 2 3 4
Action 3: Investigate Basement Hall. 5 vs. 4 chaos token skull (-1) ; success! Gain 1 clue

Looked at the map just now and realised that Withers should’ve moved to Asylum Halls (east), so I’ll put off his 3rd action above.

Mark hobbles after Norman, but the straitjacket is slowing him down.

Withers wrinkles his nose, the noisome odour of old urine drifts from a collection of kidney dishes, but amongst them he notices a glass bottle containing something a little unusual...

A cackle echoes in the hall. Withers, in the basement, cranes his neck round and peers into the dark behind him, afraid that there's only one way back and dreading what might be loose above.

Re: The Path to Carcosa
‘Cos of a Treachery card in my hand Withers can’t fight Lunatics, he can heal 2 horror though, so Harrigan first? Also those cells will contain monsters, I reckon, and that will need some firepower, so Withers should wait for Harrigan to join him.
