DSIGFUSS, is there a personal experience connected with your story?

"Guess he's sleeping."

Mr. Handy, you got the tone of your story just right--it could be a continuation of Hank's "The Story So Far".

Bring the chosen one

trixie, you will ensure Urula saves "the chosen one", won't you?

[Mr. Handy]

Thanks! I've got a pretty good feel for my character. I'd never seen him before though, as I draw characters randomly whenever I play and he'd never come up.

DSIGFUSS, if Roland goes to the Science Building from the Curiositie Shoppe he'll have to pass through the Merchant District; a Dhole is there (and Silas). (Silas will Evade the monster.)

[DSIGFUSS]

OK!

Well does that mean that Silas is heading for the Science building to grab the two clue tokens?

Roland could exhaust his Mists of Reylah. How exactly would that work out. For spells you use which attribute with a -1 modifier for the Dhole's awareness.

what attribute is for casting spells again? Could you tell me exactly how Mists of Reylah work?

[Mr. Handy]

You'd need to make a Spell check, which is a type of Lore check. The Casting modifier for Mists of Releh is equal to the Dhole's Awareness modifier (in this case, -1). This means your chances of successfully casting it are kind of...not good (though I believe Malone gives you +1, which helps a good deal). You could raise your Lore to as much as 4 during your upkeep, however, which gives you a much better chance. You cast it when you attempt to Evade the monster. If you succeed at the Spell check, you are considered to have passed the Evade check. There is 0 Sanity cost. If you fail, then you'd have to make a normal Evade check using your Sneak skill.

[DSIGFUSS]

Sweet thanks Handy. Don'ty think I casted a single spell in the last game. Changes made to my upkeep and I'm ready to evade the hell out of the giant wormy thing.

Well does that mean that Silas is heading for the Science building to grab the two clue tokens?

Silas will enter the gate at the Unvisited Isle. He only has 2 Clue tokens but I figured he can spend Patrice's Clues when he seals the gate.

As for Patrice, I thought Independence Square.

[DSIGFUSS]

Hey Trixie...

the best place to look for allies is the siver twilight lodge right guys? Plus theres a clue token there ripe for the pickings.

Any other suggestions for Ursala's movement?

[Tabs]

There are lots of options for Ursula. I favour maxing her Speed skill (amend her Upkeep post) and then reading one of the three books she is carrying during the Movement Phase. Ursula's items: http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu12 ... Ditems.jpg
The Silver Twilight Lodge is an option to move to, although Carl Sanford may threaten Ursula to join the "order" at a price.

[Tabs]

I'll be unable to draw an Arkham Encounter by the time my turn rolls around, as I'll be leaving in about 18 hours. I'll have very limited Internet access for the 11 days after that. If you have to go ahead without me, I intend to spend 5 Clues to pass my personal story in the Upkeep phase of Turn 3. After that, I'll probably go to Innsmouth and start scooping up the Clues there.

No problem--we'll wait for your return; however, Roland, Ursula, Silas and Patrice still need to post their Turn 2 Movement.

[Tabs]

Turn 2 Movement: Roland Banks & Malone: "Well done Detective!"

[DSIGFUSS]

Thank you very much captain keeper!!

[trixie]

Sorry for the harsh delay everyone.

[trixie]

Wow Tabs, great writing. Love the last line re Joseph living on. Very cool.

All that aside though....that sweaty hairy man peeing....well....its a visual burned in now. Thanks

As Elvis would have said, "Thank you very much."

and a long moustache

For me, the moustache clinches Mister Montgomery's evil intent.

[DSIGFUSS]

She tentatively glances downward: she is kneeling in moist malodorous lumps.

Haha Tabs.. I love the word Malodorous...

And... I am a crazed monkey. It's amazing I can even post... But you know what they say about a million monkeys on typewriters.. they'll eventually write something of worth.

[Tabs]

Haha Tabs.. I love the word Malodorous...

Yes... but not a word one can use in general conversation down the pub/bar.


Here are the Arkham Encounters for Ronald and Ursula. Remember the Player Order: Hank is up next.

Science Building
You find a student pounding on a strange device that he has hooked up to massive machinery. He states that it is a dimensional beam machine. If you offer to help him, make a Lore (-2) check.

Lore (-2) check?,If you pass, beams shoot out in all directions, disrupting the gates open throughout the board. Roll a die for each open gate one at a time. On a success the gate is closed. However, you may not take it as a trophy, but return it to the pile of gate markers. If you fail, the machinery overheats and explodes. Roll a die and lose that much Stamina, then move to St Mary's Hospital.

Silver Twilight Lodge
Brushing up against a strange object in the hall, you feel stretched and thin, like your skin is too tight. Pass a Luck (-1) check or you are Cursed.

[DSIGFUSS]

ok... So are you posting for Hank aor are we waiting for Handy to get back.

reminder: Player Order

Hank Samson
Roland Banks
Ursula Downs
Silas Marsh
Patrice Hathaway

I'm so gonna help this crazy frat kid figure out his doomsday device.

[Tabs]

We'll wait for Mr. Handy. I think he's going to be back from his hols soon.
