I'm the only one right now who has the Clues to use Appeal to the Council, but I can't go shopping in Istanbul while the Doppleganger is there. I can try to take care of it next turn using my Artifact to inflict three damage. If that works, I can pick up another Focus with my second Action and then finish it off in a Combat Encounter. If I fail on the Lore roll, it's probably best for me to Travel to Rome instead. Either way, that means I can't Rest next turn.

Turn 12 plan.

Akachi to gain a Ship Ticket and Travel to Buenos Aires; location encounter. Next turn she can move to Easter Island.

@Mr. Handy, I think Tony should try T'tke Halot on the Doppleganger, he is Blessed so has a good chance of success. The Doppleganger may advance Doom and protects the Gate (green comet), which needs closing because the Omen will advance to the green comet space at the end of this turn.

[DSIGFUSS]

OK.. well that didn't go that badly then. I need a hunger condition as well I believe.

The Shaman looks sweet. The move through gates power is pretty cool too.

[DSIGFUSS]

So for next turn. I was thinking of heading over to Arkham to deal with the madness over there.

Diana could cast a banishment and then use my ship ticket. Get rid of one of the monsters at the Arkham gate and then travel towards Arkham. Next turn do the same thing and then close that sum bitch.

Or maybe there is something else that needs doing?

[Mr. Handy]

Yeah, I'll stay in Istanbul and try to take down the Doppleganger. I may want to flip Purifying the World after that, as we might not have enough time for me to hunt the Goat Spawn. If I beat the Doppleganger, I'll try to close the Gate.

@DSIGFUSS, Akachi is a good investigator. We are running out of time; Doom is 5 and potentially our game could be over at the end of this turn--advance Omen to green comet (3 Doom and Monsters may advance Doom as well if there is a Reckoning effect). So we need to get to Easter Island and succeed at 2 Closing the Portal Encounters. So Diana, for all of our sakes (no pressure), must Travel to Easter Island. Travel to Buenos Aires and use a Ship Ticket to Easter Island, and that still leaves her with 1 action.

Akachi can get there next turn. She'll be Lead Investigator for this turn.

Tabs,
Can you update the board. I need to know where everything is. Thanks

[Tabs]

Done. Phew! there's an awful lot going on.

I reckon we have 2 turns left before the game ends. If, if, Diana and Akachi can succeed at those Sealing the Portal Encounters, we can win.

@Quatermass, what can Norman do to retreat Doom? I think he should stick around Shanghai or Tokyo in case a Gate opens?

[Quatermass]

Norman can try for Appeal to the Council as I can spend a Sanity in place of a Clue.

Also, Will the Mystic Ruins move after a Sealing the Portal Encounter? I don't know if its like a regular Mystic Ruins encounter.

[Tabs]

Dammit, you're right about the Mystic Ruins moving--returning to the Great Wall would be good news! Norman should try for Appeal to the Council.

[Mr. Handy]

I'm not so sure that the Mystic Ruins move when you have one of those Sealing the Portal special encounters, but I've never seen them before.

Also, I hope the Doom advance from Marie being devoured was already processed and taken into account, or it will drop to 4.

[Tabs]

Yes, you're right. My mind is punch-drunk from trying to remember too much! The Final Mystery requires 2 Sealing the Portal Encounters on the Mystic Ruins space, so the space will stay at Easter Island. Also, I definitely did not advance Doom when Marie was devoured, Doom is now at 4. And I'm pretty sure I didn't do it when Charlie was devoured--I'll go back and check.

[Tabs]

Charlie Kane is devoured. Doom advances by 1 (13 down to 12), discard everything of his, and choose a new investigator at the end of the Mythos Phase.

A quote from the Strange Remnants thread. Doom is 4.

[Quatermass]

I was going to rest but I am going to move to Space 20 so I can reach the Mystic Ruins next turn just in case.

[Tabs]

Excellent work! Doom is back to 5. I'll draw a new card for the Reserve tomorrow.

Hey Guys. Won't it take longer than 1 turn for Diana to get to Easter Island. Seems like I would have to take a couple turns to travel to space 3 from the Amazon.

Move to Buenos Aires, spend ship ticket to travel to space 3

6 dice to use T'tka Halot--success on a 4, 5 or 6, but all rolls 3 or less, that's like 6 coin flips the wrong side up. As Captain Darling, in Blackadder series 4 (WW1), about to go "over the top" and face certain death, wrote in his diary, "Bugger."

1 Health token

Tony has a slim chance in combat, 5 dice for 4 successes on a 4, 5 or 6. . . .

My bad... I thought Space 3 was elsewhere!! lol Good old Geography fail.

[Quatermass]

I will take a city encounter.
