OOC:

Nice! I probably won't have time to build my deck until the weekend.

Sefina has a really interesting ability.

That's fine.

I'm looking forward to building Wendy's deck, unlike last game where I simply took "off the shelf" a deck from arkhamdb.

Prologue
Dr. Henry Armitage pours himself a glass of pinot and sits down at his desk, gesturing for you to sit across from him. "I apologize for the short notice," he begins. His face is pale, his forehead sweat and wrinkled with worry.

Armitage - the head librarian of Miskatonic University, and a former mentor of yours - privately contacted you in the hopes of gaining your assistance. Eager to help, you made your way to his home in Southside. Upon entering, you were surprised to find his home in disarray. Books and notes litter his desk, and an empty bottle of wine has tipped over onto the ground by the fireplace. You'd always known Armitage to be neat and well-organized.

The elderly man takes a moment to collect his thoughts. "I am looking for two of my colleagues - Dr. Francis Morgan, professor of archaeology, and Warren Rice, professor of languages. Warren was supposed to meet up with me over supper earlier today to discuss several important findings, but he has since gone missing. At first I thought nothing of it, but I have a nagging feeling something else is going on. A very...familiar feeling." You've never seen Armitage quite this worried before. His hands tremble as he reaches for the glass on his desk, and he sips from it nervously. "I tried to find Francis, hoping he knew where Warren was, but he too is out of touch. Francis has been spending a lot of time in some gambling den, or so I am told.

"I sent for you because I am worried Warren might be in trouble. I would appreciate it greatly if you could find him for me. You may also wish to ask Francis for help, if you can reach him."

The investigators must decide (choose one):

Professor Warren Rice was last seen working late at night in the humanities department of Miskatonic University. Let's search for him there.
Proceed with "Scenario 1-A: Extracurricular Activity" if you wish to find Professor Warren Rice first.
Dr. Francis Morgan was last seen gambling at the Clover Club, an upscale speakeasy and gambling joint located downtown. Let's go talk to him.
Proceed with "Scenario 1-B: The House Always Wins" if you wish to find Dr. Francis Morgan first.

Edit

Deck built at arkhamdb--I'd thoroughly recommend doing this. https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/98111 There's a card draw simulator, so I wouldn't need to physically build the decks.

"A gambling den!" says Sefina Rousseau, excitement already building in her. "That sounds like it would be right up my alley. We should try to locate Dr. Morgan first, and perhaps then he can help us find Professor Rice. What do you say, Wendy?" She looks at the girl fondly. She has always wanted a little sister, and Wendy is the closest thing to it. While she feels protective of her, she knows that Wendy is surprisingly capable of taking care of herself.

Posted: **Sat Dec 30, 2017 12:13 pm**

Wendy Adams slipped her hand into Sefina's and clasped it tightly.

"You know, miss," she said, "I'm used to being on my own. But it would be nice--nice to have someone else to look after me; perhaps you would?

"Dr. Morgan? Yes, let's find the gentleman."

OOC:

I took the liberty of putting your deck on arkhamdb. https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/98979

Posted: **Sun Dec 31, 2017 3:01 am**

"Of course I would look after you, ma chere," says Sefina with a smile, squeezing Wendy's hand. "Please, call me Sefina."

Posted: **Sun Dec 31, 2017 6:45 pm**

That's only 3 Event cards

. Which 2 cards from Sefina's hand do you wish to discard?

Posted: **Sun Dec 31, 2017 7:49 pm**

Posted: **Mon Jan 01, 2018 1:25 pm**

Oooh! I like my cards.

Dr. Armitage suggested you track down his associate Dr. Francis Morgan. He's not sure whether Dr. Morgan is in trouble, but he's not particularly happy with his colleague's present choice of company. He's in the Clover Club, a notorious gambling joint somewhere downtown. Finding the club's exact location isn't easy - you have to grease a few palms just to learn which of the Downtown restaurants operates as the club's front. That restaurant is La Bella Luna, a somewhat upscale Italian eatery by the theatre. You change into your Sunday best and make your way there.

In front of La Bella Luna stands a man in a pinstripe suit who sizes you up as you approach. "Enjoy yourselves," he says with a snake-like grin as he holds open the restaurant's front door.

OOC: Sefina as Lead Investigator?

Posted: **Mon Jan 01, 2018 6:27 pm**

Posted: **Tue Jan 02, 2018 12:57 pm**

I stumbled upon a great photo of Dr. Henry Armitage.

2 clues

La Bella Luna [Sefina, Wendy] -> Clover Club Lounge [Pit Boss]

Clover Club Lounge -> La Bella Luna -> Bar -> Cardroom

Bar -> Clover Club Lounge -> Cardroom

Cardroom -> Bar -> Clover Club Lounge

"That man with the snake-like grin," whispered Wendy to Sefina, "maybe he thinks that I'm your daughter?" She let go of Sefina's hand and surveyed her critically. "You're too slim and young," she stated; "my big sister, for sure!" They stepped inside La Bella Luna. Its disguise of gingham covered tables, spaghetti bowls and clichéd music could not mask an air of unrestrained mayhem, underlined by the distant thrum of a double bass.

OOC: I'll Play Dario El Amin, maybe Investigate, maybe Move... Go ahead and post, if you wish.

Posted: **Wed Jan 03, 2018 2:17 am**

Turn 1 Investigator Phase

"Thank you, Wendy," replies Sefina. She wears a green, fringed sleeveless dress with a slit that goes most of the way up her thigh. "You are right, of course. I am far too young to be your mother. I must be your big sister."

She looks around the restaurant, where a well-dressed man sits at a table, finishing a bowl of spaghetti. He smiles at Sefina, standing up and approaching her. "Evenin', doll," he drawls in a Southern accent. "My name's Leo De Luca." He takes her hand and kisses it.

"Good evening, sir. I'm Sefina Rousseau, and this is my little sister, Wendy. We're looking for Dr. Francis Morgan. Do you know him?"

"Yeah, he's a regular here. I can help you find him. He's probably in the back. The password is 'swordfish.'"

"Thank you. You are here alone?"

"I was just waiting for a beautiful woman to show up." Leo takes her arm. "And now two of them have."

Posted: **Wed Jan 03, 2018 11:28 am**

Wendy giggled at the gentleman's silly words, he was obviously buttering her up to impress Sefina; nevertheless she tucked an errant strand of hair behind her ear.

Investigator Phase 1

Action 1: Spend 4 resources and Play Dario El-Amin.

Action 2: Move to Clover Club Lounge.

Action 3: Exhaust Dario El-Amin and gain 2 resources.

She touched the envelope inside the pocket of her cardigan. She had a penpal, an Egyptian named Dario El-Amin, who sent her photographs of pyramids and camels; also stamps, which she sold to collectors--the stamps were a valuable resource for her, providing tea, bread, and jam.

At the back of La Bella Luna she confidently said "swordfish" to a doorman. He seemed a little bemused but swung open the green baize door for her, "Madam," he said. She entered a luxurious lounge, comfortable leather couches, etc. A sharp suited man with a livid scar upon his cheek walked across to Wendy.

"No minors allowed in the club," he said gruffly.

"I'm a surprise for a gentleman," she answered, unsure of what she really meant by it but scar face seemed amused and grinned most sinisterly.

OOC: When I posted yesterday I checked the Pit Boss's card for "Enemy" but only saw "Criminal. Elite."

Anyhow let's do as you say and swap Wendy's 2nd and 3rd actions. Yeah, if needs be I'll discard Dario El-Amin and gain 2 clues from the lounge.

Posted: **Fri Jan 05, 2018 7:41 pm**

Turn 1 Mythos Phase

As Sefina makes her way across the restaurant, she slips on the wet floor and falls down. Leo is there to help her back to her feet. "Thank you," she says.

Turn 2 Investigator Phase

Sefina takes a flashlight out of her purse and explores the restaurant area. She soon finds a ledger showing that Dr. Francis Morgan was admitted much earlier today - and he has not left. Certain that she's on the right track, she heads to the back, arm in arm with Leo. "Swordfish," he says to the bouncer, who lets them pass into the lounge.

Sefina notices Wendy sitting in a corner, crying into her arms which are folded on her knees. "Wendy, are you all right?" she asks. "What's wrong?"

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2018 12:50 pm**

"It just hit me--again--that I have no one," mumbled Wendy on the verge of tears. "Except you of course."

Investigation Phase 2

Action 1: Move to Clover Club Bar.

Action 2: Activate Dario El-Amin. Exhaust and gain 2 resources.

Action 3: Activate Clover Club Bar. Spend 2 resources: Gain 2 clues and draw 2 cards. Wendy has "had a drink."

Her chin rested upon the counter of the bar, but try as she might she couldn't clamber up one of the stools.

"Here, allow me, little miss," he said in a kind, friendly voice. Hands fitted into her armpits and lifted her up and sat her down upon the stool.

"Thank you, sir!" she said.

"No trouble at all," he replied, settling himself down beside her. "Can I buy you a lemonade?"

Wendy thought: "What a nice gentleman!" and smiled in answer.

Posted: **Sun Jan 07, 2018 12:50 pm**

Clover Club Pit Boss moves to Bar.

Sefina draws

OOC: The Pit Boss moves back to the Lounge but is still Aloof and doesn't attack?

Wendy draws

Wendy fumbled the glass of lemonade. It tipped over upon the bar's counter and rolled backwards and forwards in a puddle of drink. She rested her head upon one hand. "I don't feel so great," she moaned.

"Good," muttered the man to himself.

Posted: **Tue Jan 09, 2018 1:17 am**

Posted: **Tue Jan 09, 2018 4:38 pm**

OOC: Okay. I need Wendy to take an easy test so that she can shake off her double Cursed Luck.

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2018 4:23 am**

Turn 3 Investigator Phase

"Wendy's got the bar covered," says Sefina. "Let's check out the cardroom." She and Leo stroll through the other door into a room filled with card tables and gamblers. "Now this is my kind of place!" She and Leo sit down at a couple of empty seats at one of the tables. She takes a wad of cash out of her handbag and buys a stack of chips. As she plays, she keeps her ears open for any useful information. For a while, she doesn't hear anything, and her pile of chips steadily dwindles. If you're looking around the table, she thinks, and you don't know who the mark is, it's you. Realizing that the game is rigged, she counters by cheating back, concealing an ace in her dress (not up her sleeve, for she doesn't have any). In a later hand, she manages to get the other three aces, secretly adding her fourth and replacing a junk card with it. She goes all in and manages to win the hand, getting back half of the chips she has lost. As she does, she hears whispered rumors about Dr. Morgan.

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2018 5:14 pm**

OOC: Good idea about the Flashlight.

Action 1: Spend 2 resources and Play Flashlight.

Action 2: Activate Flashlight and Investigate the Bar.

Shroud 3 -2[Flashlight] vs. 3[Intellect]-1 -1[Cursed Luck x2], Chaos token [dice]0[/dice] (skull -2)

Um, um--reaction (Wendy's ability), discard Flashlight and cancel Chaos token. Chaos token [dice]1[/dice] (skull -2)

OOC: Couldn't keep Lucky!

Fast Play Lucky!, success and discard both Cursed Luck cards.

He led the woozy girl towards a side room. Wendy was disorientated and frankly didn't appreciate the man's intent or realise the desperate situation she faced.

"Oi! mate," intervened a red-faced sailor, "where are you off to with the young lady?" The man blustered, and the sailor took a swing at his jaw. Wendy, oblivious to the fight but now coming to her senses, wandered away through the bar.

Posted: **Thu Jan 11, 2018 11:26 am**

OOC: I'm cancelling Wendy's reaction re-draw and taking back Flashlight from my discards. I got muddled between the 1s 0s and -2s and have since realised that I had a 1 in 15 chance (+1) to keep Lucky!--not odds which I'd take voluntarily.

Enemy Phase 3

Clover Pit Boss moves to Bar.

Upkeep Phase 3

Sefina draws

and gains 1 resource.

Wendy draws

Wendy pulled at the furry ear of the bear hidden inside her cardigan. "Mr. Pawterson," she whispered, "I love you!"

OOC: Yeah, I just read "Treachery" in the rules reference and it says after any effects place the card in the discard pile, so Wendy has 2 actions.

The act advances immediately we have 8 clues... Good luck against those rats!

Posted: **Sat Jan 13, 2018 5:06 pm**

Turn 4 Investigator Phase

Sefina shrieks as a swarm of ugly rats scurries out of the walls and underfoot. She and Leo stomp them into bloody pulps, and then they return their attention to the card game. Sefina has to go all in again, and though she gets a terrible hand, she is able to cheat and turn it into a full house. It would have been less ominous if that hand hadn't been aces over eights, however.

Posted: **Sat Jan 13, 2018 8:12 pm**

Turn 4 Investigator Phase

Sefina takes her winnings and goes over to the door to the bar, where she beckons to Wendy to join her. Then she cashes in her chips. Leo slips her a derringer, which she conceals in her palm. "You'll need that," he whispers. "There's gonna be trouble soon."

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:30 pm**

OOC: Yes! let's get him. The turn after at Darkened Hall Wendy could play Bait and Switch to move O'Bannion's Thug?

"All clear?" asked Wendy after she joined Sefina. Her breath inhaled sharply when she glimpsed the derringer. "Is that for..." she glanced back at the bar, "He's coming!"

Action 1: Move to Clover Club Cardroom.

Action 2: Action 2: Activate Dario El-Amin. Exhaust and gain 2 resources.

Posted: **Wed Jan 17, 2018 4:58 am**

Turn 5 Investigator Phase

The Pit Boss follows Wendy in from the bar and grabs her from behind. "Gotcha, you little urchin!" he snarls.

Sefina sneaks up behind him. "Hey, pick on someone your own size!" she yells. The man drops Wendy and spins around, just in time to get a powerful punch in the kidney. He still doesn't go down, so Sefina fires her derringer, hitting him between the eyes. He collapses, unmoving. "Come on, we can't stick around here." She hurries into the darkened hallway. As she does, she bumps right into another goon, who seizes her.

"You're a pretty one," he says with a leer. "You won't be any more by the time I'm through with you."

"Help!" cries Sefina, struggling in vain to break free.

Posted: **Wed Jan 17, 2018 2:42 pm**

Action 1: Move to Darkened Hallway.

Action 2: Engage O'Bannion's Thug.

Action 3: Play Bait and Switch.

Wendy's ability: Discard Flashlight [dice]1[/dice] +0; success, Lucky! taken in hand from the discards, O'Bannion's Thug moved to Cardroom.

"Hey! you, ugly," insisted Wendy, thumping on the thug's back, "pick on someone you're own size."

He swivelled and swung a meaty fist into the air above Wendy's head. "Huh?" he puffed.

"He went thataway," said Wendy innocently, pointing emphatically back to the Cardroom.

"I'll git d' basterd!" he grunted, and the neanderthal loped off, swearing and puffing.

Wendy smiled and shrugged at Sefina: "What an idiot!"

"Thank you so much," says Sefina, giving Wendy a hug as the door locks, trapping the thug outside.

A swarm of rats scuttled out from a black crack in the Darkened Hall's wainscot and circled Wendy's feet, one grey monster leaped at her leg. "Uh ahhhh," she yelped.

OOC: Hmmm. Wendy to fight the rats, using Lucky! if needed?

Posted: **Sat Jan 20, 2018 5:48 pm**

Turn 6 Investigator Phase

A flood of rats rushes them from down the darkened hallway, heading right for Wendy. Sefina blasts one of them with her derringer, turning it into a smear of red. The rest of the vermin flee. "Let's spread out and search for Dr. Morgan," she says. "We haven't got much time." She and Leo explore one of the doors off of the hallway.

Posted: **Sat Jan 20, 2018 7:49 pm**

After the loud gunshot Wendy screwed up her eyes and covered her ears. "Is it dead?" she asked eventually.

Turn 6 Investigator Phase

"Very dead," says Sefina, ducking through the door. "This is the VIP lounge, all right, but it's deserted, and there are signs of a struggle. What could have happened to Dr. Morgan?" She shines her flashlight around, but the batteries flicker and die before she manages to find anything. However, even in the dark, her keen eyes pick out the details...was that blood on the broken glass?

Wendy climbed a steep, narrow staircase to a back alley behind La Bella Luna. The inviting odour of meatballs and bolognese sauce nagged at her tummy as she searched through the trash cans. Two clues were easily found. "Wait till I show Sefina," she thought, "she will be pleased. We're almost done here, I just know it!"

"It's you again!" cried the thug. "Come 'ere you little runt."

Wendy skipped and dodged around the brute. He almost grabbed her, and Wendy was terrified that he'd snap her arms, but luckily she slipped away and escaped into the VIP Area where Sefina waited.

"I lost the thug in the hall, he shan't follow me in here," said Wendy. "I hope I did the right thing?"

Action 3: Resign.

Wendy danced away from the rats. She found sanctuary upon an armchair, pausing her chaotic flight and agreeing with Sefina as she quickly outlined her plan. Wendy drew forth the teddy bear from her cardigan pocket and moved its paw in farewell. "Mr. Pawterson wishes you Godspeed and knows that he will see you again."

She leaped down off the armchair, yelping when one of the beasts nipped at her ankle, and raced out the door.

"And again!" roared the thug in the Darkened Hall. "This time I'll break you for sure!"

"Big nose! Spotty face!" incited Wendy, trying to draw him away from her new friend. And it worked, too. The thug chased after her, managing to swipe her extremely hard across her back with a cosh--a billiard ball inside his sock. She was propelled through the door and into the Back Alley where she ran for her life, praying that Sefina would play Hopscotch with her and Mr. Pawterson soon.

Turn 8 Investigator Phase

"Wendy, run!" calls Sefina as one of the unconscious mobsters wakes up and clamps an arm down on her wrist.

"Not so fast, toots!" says the mobster, rising and seizing her. He licks his lips, leering at her. "I ain't even got to know you yet."

"Dr. Morgan, help!"

Dr. Morgan finally comes to his senses, springing to his feet. "Unhand the young lady this instant!" he demands.

"Stay out of it, egghead!" The gangster glares at him. "I- hey, you took all my money!"

While he is distracted, Sefina slips out of his grasp and grabs Dr. Morgan by the hand. She sees that Leo has already left, which was smart of him. "Let's get out of here!" she says, bolting with him into the hallway and slamming the door behind them. They hurry out the still open back door that Wendy had used, where the other goon and the rats are still looking around for her. Sefina and Dr. Morgan slip off into the night to find her.

Posted: **Sun Jan 28, 2018 1:27 pm**

Resolution 2: “What in the world...?” Dr. Morgan finally breaks out of his daze as you make your way to safety. You ask him what he remembers, and he sputters and shakes his head. “It’s all a haze,” he explains, visibly exhausted. “I was having the run of my life! Perhaps I had one too many shots. But, those creatures—I haven’t seen anything like that since...” He trails off, and you can tell that his mind is racing.

You're dead right about Flare. Scrap that, Wendy'll have

I've made a mistake, I drew the Basic Weakness "Indebted" for Sefina. It is a Permanent card so should have been in play last game. What to do? Put it into play from now or choose again?

Posted: **Wed Jan 31, 2018 4:49 am**

I've done a bit of digging and I do think that you are supposed to know what your Basic Weakness is, and in the case of Indebted it should be in play from the start. Until now I had added the card, unseen, to my decks, but thematically this doesn't make sense: An Investigator should know his weakness--Sefina's could be buying too many shoes...

Going back to your point about Leo and resources, it's no matter because we won the game comfortably. It would have taken Conglomeration of Spheres 2 turns to reach the hallway, which is a spare 8 actions...

Orne Library -> Miskatonic Quad -> Humanities Building

The Orne Library is well known for its collection of rare occult books and grimoires. It’s possible Professor Rice came here to research in private.

Miskatonic Quad [Sefina, Wendy] -> Orne Library -> Science Building -> Humanities Building -> Student Union -> Administration Building

The Miskatonic University campus is beautiful, in a dreary sense. Surrounded by fences and gates of wrought iron, you can’t help but feel as much a prisoner here as a guest.

Science Building -> Miskatonic Quad -> ?

The science building is one of the larger buildings in the university, its three doors dominating the eastern side of the campus. Although most of the halls are dark, you can see a lit window in the basement.

Humanities Building -> Miskatonic Quad -> Orne Library

The humanities building contains the departments of History, Philosophy, and Languages, to name a few. Professor Rice was last seen here, teaching one of his Latin classes.

Student Union -> Miskatonic Quad -> ?

The Student Union contains a cafeteria and a lounge in which students can gather.

Administration Building -> Miskatonic Quad -> ?

One of the oldest buildings on campus, the administration building can be found shrouded in shadow near the eastern end of the campus. It is almost entirely covered in ivy.

Wendy's cold fingers found their way into Sefina's hand; Sefina could feel them trembling.

"Not very nice here is it?" whispered Wendy. The tree's bare winter branches whistled when a sharp wind flew across the quad, and it ruffled her already unkempt hair. "Where shall we start looking for Professor Rice?" Moments before, a lanky, bleary-eyed student had replied that he'd seen several hours before the Professor in the Humanities Building.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2018 5:49 am**

Sefina gives Wendy's hand a reassuring squeeze. "I'm sure it will be lovelier in the spring," she says. "I will start in the Humanities Building and then check the library. I think we can find him more quickly if we cover more ground and split up. Perhaps you can look around in the other buildings."

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2018 12:50 pm**

"Oh yes! the spring: daffodils, cherry blossom..." said Wendy, looking into the far distance as she spoke. "Right," she said with determination, "if you find him I'll join you, but if not I'll try elsewhere. Mmmm, maybe the Student Union--they may serve puddings," and she licked her lips.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2018 5:51 pm**

Turn 1 Investigator Phase

A familiar-looking man strolls up. "Evening, ladies," he says, tipping his hat.

"Leo!" says Sefina. "It's good to see you again. What are you doing here?"

"I heard you were collecting professors, so I thought I'd help out."

"We'll, we're looking for Professor Warren Rice. He was last seen in the Humanities Building."

Leo takes her arm and flips a nickel over to Wendy. "Here, kid, buy yourself a treat." Then he escorts Sefina to the Humanities Building.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2018 7:31 pm**

"Gee, thanks, mister," beamed Wendy. She skipped off to the Students Union.

"Did you give her the nickel just so you could be alone with me?" asks Sefina.

"Can you blame me?" asks Leo as they enter the Humanities Building. "Sure is dark in here."

"Fortunately, I came prepared." Sefina takes a flashlight out of her handbag.

Wendy's hopes of a sticky pudding were dashed when she entered the Student Union. Various young adults lounged around smoking: dinner had long since ended--the serving hatches were closed and the clatter of washing-up could be heard. She wandered about looking for the Professor, thoroughly searching and asking the students questions. She even tried the doorknob to the Dormitories but found it to be locked.

"Seen Professor Rice?" Wendy said to a lazy-looking individual. She added: "I'm his niece, you know."

The student sized up the ragamuffin and drawled: "Really?"

She ran her hand round a half eaten bowl of apple crumble and then licked custard off her finger. "Really," she answered, explaining nonchalantly, "Fancy dress party."

God! he was rude; Wendy wished that she could pop slugs into his pocket. But she did learn of a few useful clues.

Sefina shrieks as a dark fluttering form zooms out of the darkness and buzzes past her as she flails her arms. "Ugh!" she cries. "Filthy creatures! Rats with wings! Let's get out of here." She and Leo head to the nearby library.

Darkness blanketed the Quad, furnishing the Science Building with an uninviting aspect, however a lone window shone in the corner of the basement so it didn't seem quite as gloomy. Wendy climbed its steps and entered through the door which had a grand pillar on each side.

She skidded upon viscous ooze, "Uh?" she exclaimed. It trailed down to the basement. She flicked the switch of her flashlight and with its beam followed the ooze's shine, it glistened and was iridescent in a curiously pretty way. Down the steps to the basement, the door to the Alchemy Labs was, again, locked. She knew it was the laboratory because of the pungent stench, and the unmistakeable hiss of a burner.

Wendy searched and searched, the beam of her flashlight probing underneath chairs, behind desks, etc; she found a broken test tube containing the remnants of a yolk--"Ugh!"--which she was very careful not to touch, and a torn playing card, the nine of diamonds...? She skipped back to the Quad, eager to tell Sefina about her finds but unsure of what they meant.

When Sefina calms down, Leo escorts her back to the Humanities Building, avoiding the flapping creature that has followed her here. When they arrive, however, the door turns out to have been locked. The building must have closed for the night.

"Allow me," says Sefina, pulling a pin from her hair and inserting it into the lock. It pops open just as easily as if she had used the key. She leads the way inside, shining her flashlight around, and comes across something interesting in Professor Rice's office...

Wendy pulled an ivy leaf from the creepers smothering the Administration Building. She dribbled saliva upon her palm and together, with the leaf, rolled an unholy spit ball, which she intended to place upon some unfortunate's chair; the naughty child chuckled at the dismay it would cause.

The hour was late and all was quiet and shadowy. She did discover a clue but was unsure of its usefulness, however during her wanderings, upstairs, she found the Faculty Offices. Its frosted glass door allowed her to glimpse a figure darting in front of a moon lit window, at least she thought that she saw someone...

"Get outta here! you little varmint," said the janitor, scowling. The grumpy old man had pushed his mop under a desk and been startled when a yelp from some resisting lump had cried out.

"Please, sir!" said Wendy upon hands and knees, poking her pretty, but slightly grimy, face round a chair, "I'm searching for clues--it's most important work," she smiled, revealing a missing tooth, and held up a blood stained kerchief.

"Jazz" Mulligan softened: "Well thank you, miss--for helping. Sorry if I was a bit gruff; I was taken aback, surprised, y'understand. Look, I've still gotta finish my round, but tag along, there's a can of peaches in syrup somewhere back in the maintenance office, it's yours if you wanna carry on?--cleaning, that is.

Did you get to play many games at the convention?

OOC: Oooh! what do you think we should do?

Posted: **Thu Mar 01, 2018 5:04 am**

OOC,Yes, I did play a bunch of games. I played Terraforming Mars on Thursday night. I won, but it was a close one. On Friday, I played in an Apocalypse World hack set in Middle-Earth called The Perfect Meal, where we were hobbits trying to gather ingredients. Then I played in The Siren's Curse, a Hollow Earth Expedition scenario. That night, I played in a Cthulhu Live scenario called Devil's Due set in 1890s London, where we were all members or prospective members of a secret society/cult. I was the elderly Man-at-Arms, whose job it was to protect the Order until my retirement that evening. All officers of the Order are chosen by lot. I killed a prospective member based on Batman when he tried to kill the Keeper of Secrets after being given a dagger and ordered to kill his servant (based on Alfred). My replacement was a doctor in a mental institution who should have been an inmate; she was based on the Joker. In the end, the replacement Keeper was killed by his own father (the former Treasurer) because he did not want to give his son to the Order (the entity in the Keeper of Secrets switches bodies when the position is transferred). The next replacement Keeper and her Chinese servant then disintegrated the Keeper with powerful magic while the ex-Treasurer tried to disrupt the ritual. I killed him, but she got away. On Saturday, I played a lot of Call of Cthulhu. I played in As the Leaf Withers on the Vine, set in 1867 Texas, where we were Secret Service agents. Then I played in Blackwater Creek, a 1920s scenario where we were gangsters. I came through both just fine. That night I played in another Cthulhu Live scenario, The Farewell Tour, set in a goth nightclub in 1996. There were a bunch of players who were playing Vampire: the Masquerade LARPers, which I actually played in the mid-1990s at college. In this scenario, I was the event coordinator who happened to be a real vampire. Then at midnight I played Dead Panic, where I was one of four (out of six) survivors. I was instrumental in getting the radio parts and calling the van, and I was the first to reach it (it appeared right where I was, luckily). On Sunday, I played in a Cthulhu Invictus scenario, The Vetting of Marius Asina, where I played a Judean bodyguard. We accomplished our mission, and all of us survived except for the centurion, who didn't know when to run away. Then I played Star Trek Panic. The Enterprise was crippled and dead in space just out of range of the Starbase, but we somehow managed to win. We certainly can't fight the Experiment. Without Shrivelling and Arcane Studies, I won't be able to do enough damage. The choice is between finding Professor Rice and evacuating the students. You're right next to the Faculty Offices, but you could reach the Dormitories instead next turn. It's up to you what you want to do, but we might want to see what happens in the Mythos Phase, especially since the agenda advances, before making a decision. If we have time, I'd like to save the students. Does controlling "[b]Jazz[/b]" mean we can both ignore the text, or can only the one actually controlling him do it? If the latter, I won't be much help, but I guess I could use my first Action to draw a card and see if it's helpful.

Posted: **Thu Mar 01, 2018 1:17 pm**

OOC: I've got Terraforming Mars, but sadly I have not played it yet. One thing, the player board for cubes is just a sheet of card, I was disappointed that there weren't some "slots" for cubes, y'know, like in Scythe. You did a lot of live role-play. I'm unsure if that would be up my street now. Did I say before that I did some D&D larping?--must have been in the late '80s!

Yes, The Experiment is out of our league--Sefina and Wendy wouldn't choose to fight it anyway. The "shadow" which Wendy saw in the Faculty Offices must be Professor Rice... But the humane thing to do is to warn the students, so let's plan to do that.

I think that "Jazz" is a pseudo-ally of Wendy. If Wendy is with Sefina we can ignore text on unrevealed locations.

Wendy ran at the creature whilst dodging round tables and chairs, it seemed confused by the onrushing child, its globular head bobbing to and fro; this allowed "Jazz" a chance to unlock the Faculty Offices. They both tumbled inside, desperate to escape. Wendy got quickly to her feet and started calling for Professor Rice, but her voice echoed fruitlessly through the hall.

"He's not here," she said. "We'll have to go back!"

"Screw this for a game of soldiers!" exclaimed "Jazz." "I ain't going first--sex and age be damned."

She touched his shirt cuff. The little girl returned to the Humanities Building and the creature.

She grabs Leo by the arm and races across the quad into the Administration Building, where she finds the cone-shaped monstrosity menacing Wendy. While it is distracted, she stabs it in the back. Or is it the back? The being is perfectly symmetrical, so it's hard to tell. Nevertheless, the attack causes serious damage.

Wendy peeped over a mattress she was searching underneath and said: "Mr. "Jazz," you've sure done a grand job with the dorms--cleaning and tidying, I mean."

"Why thank you, miss," he said. Then he asked: "Just what is it exactly that we are searching for?"

"Exactly?" Well, that would make things too easy..." She held aloft a crumpled tissue which she had discovered, and she looked questioningly at "Jazz."

Wendy threw a pillow up into the rafters of the dorm aimed at the horrendously annoying whippoorwill. The birds seemed to infest the university and dogged their every move. The pillow struck, and the bird fell to the floor. Wendy rushed to the spot, only to be confronted by a broken winged creature, circling round and round--it was quite pathetic really. The little girl began to cry.

"Jazz" came over to her, his mop at the ready to deal with any nastiness.

"Bastard thing," he said succinctly, and he stepped upon the whippoorwill.

Sefina goes from room to room. It takes a long time, but eventually she finds everyone and leads them out in an organized fashion. The male students are only too eager to follow her.

Posted: **Sun Mar 18, 2018 12:15 pm**

OOC: Well done!

Resolution 2: You pull each of the dormitory’s fire alarms and usher the students out of the building’s north exit, hoping to make your way off campus. Many of the students are confused and exhausted, but you believe any attempt to explain the situation will do more harm than good. Minutes later, a terrible screech echoes across the campus, piercing and shrill. You tell the students to wait and head back to the dormitories to investigate. Oddly, you find no trace of the strange creature—a prospect that worries you more than it relieves you. You hurry to the faculty offices to find Professor Rice, but there is no sign of him anywhere.

Æ In your Campaign Log, record that Professor Warren Rice was kidnapped.
Æ In your Campaign Log, record that the students were rescued.
Æ Each investigator earns experience equal to the Victory X value of each card in the victory display.

OOC: That's 1 measly victory point!

Æ If this is the first scenario of the campaign, proceed to Scenario I–B: The House Always Wins. Otherwise, proceed to Interlude I: Armitage’s Fate.

Interlude I: Armitage’s Fate
Check Campaign Log. If the investigators were unconscious for several hours: Read Armitage’s Fate 1.
Otherwise, skip to Armitage’s Fate 2.

Armitage’s Fate 2: When you arrive at Dr. Armitage’s home in Southside, you find him sitting at his desk, pale-faced and sweating with worry. He is grateful to you for searching for his colleagues, but he doesn’t look relieved. With a long pause, he straightens his glasses and explains:
“I’m afraid I must apologize. There’s something I didn’t mention to you earlier.” Dr. Armitage then spins a tale you would scarcely believe had it not been for your harrowing experiences earlier that night...

Æ In your Campaign Log, record that the investigators rescued Dr. Henry Armitage. Any one investigator may choose to add Dr. Henry Armitage to his or her deck. This card does not count toward that investigator’s deck size.

Æ The story continues in Scenario II: The Miskatonic Museum.

OOC: Who will add Armitage to their deck? Wendy would find the extra resources useful...

The Miskatonic Museum

Several months ago, Armitage and his colleagues stopped a rampaging horror from tearing through Dunwich, a backwater town several hours north and west of Arkham. At first you imagine this beast as a rabid bear, or worse, but the professor’s description of the creature paints a different picture.

It all began when a man named Wilbur Whateley entered the Orne Library looking for Olaus Wormius’s Latin translation of a book called the Necronomicon. Wilbur already possessed a beaten-up English translation by Dr. John Dee, but it was insufficient for his purposes. Armitage turned the man away, fearing what use the strange man had for the book. Whateley returned in secret, hoping to steal the book, but was attacked by a hound guarding the university. Armitage, Rice, and Morgan later discovered Whateley’s body. A description of the foul corpse—semi-anthropomorphic and covered in fur, with a leathery hide and greenish-grey tentacles—causes you to question whether or not Whateley was truly human.

Check Campaign Log. If Dr. Henry Armitage was kidnapped: Proceed to Part 1.If the investigators rescued Dr. Henry Ermitage: Skip to Part 2.

Part 2: “My colleagues and I were quick to put the ordeal behind us,” Armitage says with a sigh. “But it seems that things haven’t fully resolved themselves. I’ll tell you the rest later, but for now, it is imperative that we get our hands on that copy of the Necronomicon. If my instincts are correct, the assailants you’ve encountered will be searching for it. After all that transpired, I didn’t feel safe keeping it at the library, so I brought it to my good friend, Harold Walsted. He is the current curator of the Miskatonic Museum. I thought it would be safe in the museum’s Restricted Hall, but now I’m not so sure. You must retrieve it at all costs! I fear terribly what they could do with the rites contained in its pages...”

Posted: **Sun Mar 25, 2018 9:50 pm**

"We'll find the book, Professor Armitage," says Sefina. "We're good at finding things, aren't we, Wendy?"

"I don't 'spose the town lending library will have a copy of this Nerdomonica book?" asked Wendy doubtfully. "Hey! there's someone inside," and she pointed at a security guard, sat behind a desk, nodding, "Half asleep?" over a flask and a newspaper.

"Let's go inside and start looking around," says Sefina, peering through the now open door. "I'll go with Adam Lynch to the security office. Wendy, why don't you check the administrative office?" She slips her arm through Adam's and walks through the darkened halls to the security office door.

Adam stops short when he sees that the door is ajar. "That wasn't like that before..." he says. He sniffs the air. "That metallic smell...it's blood! Stay behind me, Miss." He leads the way inside.

"Okay, will do," replied Wendy.

She studied the portraits hung outside the Administration Office's door, "What a miserable looking lot!" she thought, and made a mental note, then and there, never to visit a museum again. On entering the office she was struck by how organised everything was, the files, books, and forms. She noticed a jacket draped over a chair back and realised that they may not be alone. Hastily she began the search for clues, but when rooting through her pockets realised that she didn't have enough kit to do the job.

Wendy searched the row of files; she pulled out several, making an untidy clutter upon the thin carpet, and down fluttered a leaflet. She snatched it up.

"Visit the village of Dunwich, MA," she read, "and experience traditional American culture!"

In a drawer she found a silver key, which she thought very pretty, and with a guilty glance around slipped it into her cardigan pocket.

The great bear's glass eyes followed her around the Nature Exhibit, it was very unnerving for Wendy; each time she shot a glance at its sad, moth-eaten face the bear stared straight back. She imagined a gunshot echoing through woods and the animal crying out in anguish--"What is it with this place?" she thought. Confused, and disturbed by the notion that there was some mystery here which she couldn't understand, Wendy returned to the halls.

Once the chill is gone, Sefina releases Adam and steps back.

"Wow," he says. "That was...wow..."

"Oui," says Sefina, smiling at him. "It was wow for me too." Adam blushes. "Oh, you are shy. It is all right, I do not bite."

"I...um...I have a girlfriend."

"Well, she is very lucky. Let us continue the search." Just as the flashlight's batteries give out, she finds a catalog detailing the museum's different exhibits. "I think I know where to look for the book. Allons-y." She leads Adam back to the entrance, where she finds Wendy. "I think I know where to look next. Are you all right? You look frightened."

Posted: **Tue Apr 17, 2018 10:49 am**

"Animals!" Wendy rasped with a dry throat. "Why kill those creatures at all?" She was very upset---"I thought they were crying out to me"---and finished with a half-apologetic mumble, "I dunno..."

The sarcophagi seemed tatty and dusty, like boxes of rubbish, only she knew they were ancient and what they contained; she couldn't make up her mind as to what she felt about them. She swung her leg to and fro, scuffing along the polished concrete floor, and kicked a strip of cloth, which she sent scooting along. She went over to it and picked up a fragment of bandage with curious pictures painted onto it. Slowly it dawned upon her what it was that she held and where it had come from.

Wendy was determined to thoroughly search the exhibit. Despite a fear of the sarcophagi and their inhabitants, especially since her discovery of the bandage, she again looked around the wooden boxes, even checking the wall behind each one, which involved resting her chin against a sarcophagus as she stretched her arm out and felt with her hand. Almost inevitably she pushed against it, and like a row of dominoes the sarcophagi clattered against each other---the din was tremendous and the dust which filled the hall was like a snow storm. Covered with a layer of dust, looking like she worked in a flour mill, she made her way hurriedly to the exit, stepping across the fallen boxes.
