With Mother Hydra in effect, the monster surge produces an extra monster. It also produces a minimum of 5 monsters, since that is the number of investigators, which means that there should be 6 monsters drawn in all. That means one more for each of the three open Gates (though the ones in Arkham proper would end up going to the Outskirts if the Monster Limit is exceeded).

I think Silas should definitely head to Devil Reef and then Y'ha-Nthlei. Once he picks up those three Clues, he'll have everything he needs to finish his Personal Story. The monsters floating around Innsmouth could be a problem, but it may be too risky for Silas to face them in his weakened state.

Thanks. I felt there was something I'd missed.

Yes, Silas to Y'ha-Nthlei.

Hank has a lot of street cleaning to do.

If we catch you--and here and now being a supersticious Arkham in 1926--you'll be treated as a witch. And everyone knows their fate; *looks for matches*.

At the washstand he "flobs" a ball of mucus into the bowl--it tastes of sardines.

HAHA Tabs.. I'm a smoker.. I flob all the time. My flobs taste like raspberries.

I'd forgotten about the Estate Sale in the Uptown streets, but I don't have the money anyway. I only have $1 left, so while I could go to Innsmouth, I would not be able to return. I think I'll stay and fight the Byakhee this turn, but I can't spend forever just clearing the streets of monsters. I should seal a Gate of my own (once it opens) so we can win. Of course, Patrice (or anyone else returning to Arkham) may be able to do that herself instead, as she's got a whole bunch of Clue tokens coming soon.

[DSIGFUSS]

Hey guys...

Could someone please explain the rules around returning to gate locations in Arham after the gate has been explored.

so many questions...

1) What do I have to roll to seal a gate.
2) In which phase do I seal it.
3) If there is a monster there. Do I have to fight it? And when do I have to fight it?
4) Do I still get an encounter at the gate location?
5) Can I continue my move...


Please explain... I totally forget.

[Mr. Handy]

1) You must make a roll against either Fight or Lore, your choice. For Ursula, you should choose Fight. The number of dice is modified by the number on the Gate, though for Another Dimension this is +0. You only need one success.

2) Gates are closed/sealed in the Arkham Encounter phase.

3) You do not have to encounter any monsters on the turn that your return from Arkham (they don't see you yet). However, on the next turn's Movement phase, you will need to encounter them if you're still there, which normally you are. You don't necessarily have to fight them, as you do have the option to Evade.

4) No, closing/sealing the Gate is your encounter.

5) No, returning to Arkham is your movement for the turn. Which means you can max out Sneak in preparation for slipping away on the turn after you seal the Gate if that's your plan. Ursula also has Stealth, which may help her to escape.

Patrice has $5, Hank can have the cash if you want it....

[Mr. Handy]

Thanks, but she needs it more than I do. She has her own Personal Story to think about, not to mention the possibility of buying an Elder Sign.

There ought to be a Unique Item: Jimi's Guitar. The guitar can fire a sonic blast or be used as an axe.

No doubt and the the WA WA peddle peddle calms the heart of the most vile giant space worms..

Hank, no encounter.

Ursula, The Witch House: close and seal gate.

Roland, Celeano: "The shrunken old man smiles toothlessly and offers you a choice of two gifts--either a gilded book or small box."

Choose the book,Draw 3 spells, plus 1 additional Spell for each Clue token you spend. Keep 1 Spell of your choice.

Select the box,You open it, only to find nothing inside. Confused you look up and find that the man has gone. However, if you are [i]cursed[/i] you are [i]blessed[/i].

[Mr. Handy]

I hope you're not waiting for me again. I have no encounter this turn either.

PM sent.

No changes. Good call sending Patrice after that Clue. I'm going to Independence Square and the Abyss, and I'll get 2 Clues from the Warlock. Between me, Roland, and Silas, we can seal those last three Gates. We can ignore the Rumor, as it won't affect us until after the game is over, but if another Gate opens then Patrice gains 5 Clues and can deal with it.

Yes, we're almost there.... Silas is ready for the ultimate sacrifice (next Upkeep).

DSIGFUSS is on holiday. I'm unsure when he's back, but I'll wait a few days for him to post for Roland and Ursula.
