Re: The Path to Carcosa
Turn 5 Investigator Phase
A madman comes out of the infirmary and rushes Mark. Mark kicks him in the groin, unable to punch with his arms in a straitjacket, but the man doesn't even seem to feel it. He lunges for Mark and tries to bite his ear off, but Mark quickly headbutts him and lays him out cold. Shuddering, he hurries down the stairs.

Re: The Path to Carcosa
It seems reasonable that Withers can remove Harrigan's straitjacket.
Action 1 and 2: Discard
Action 3: Play choose Harrigan
There's one hell of a kerfuffle above, then Harrigan appears at the foot of the basement's steps still wearing the straitjacket.
"You're no Houdini," says a relieved Withers. "I thought I'd freed you from that thing. Here, allow me."
He takes time to carefully unbuckle the straitjacket. He catches sight of a wild glint in Harrigan's eyes, placing his thumbs on Harrigan's temple he looks steadily at him.
"It's alright, you're gonna be alright."

"Thank you," says Mark, exhaling with relief. "It's not so easy to get out of a straitjacket when a maniac's attacking you. Not so easy to fight him, either, but I managed. I wonder which of these cells they've got him in? We may have to resort to the time-honored method of 'Eeny-Meeny-Miney-Moe.'"

"Whichever one we choose it's bound to be nasty. With my potion I'm good for a fight; well, for a while at least."
"Tum-ti-tum." [Sounds of fuss and bustle]
"I knew it was you, sir, I mean, doctor," says Withers. "You're most welcome!"

The orderlies came down the stairs and picked up the discarded straitjacket, which they then forced onto Mark. "Better watch this one, Doc," said one of them to Norman. "He's a dangerous one. He just beat up another guy at the top of the stairs. Good thing you're putting him in confinement down here." With that, the orderlies tramped back upstairs.

Withers nods to the orderly "Much obliged, sir, can't be too careful" and, as they tramp back upstairs "Now get in that cell, you hoodlum!" He grins at Harrigan, unbuckling the straitjacket again.

Mark readies his shotgun and enters one of the cells.
This cell has a wild-eyed man chained to his bed. He struggles to free himself, growling and screaming. Mark quickly backs out of the cell. "Wrong one," he says.

He has a momentary flashback: him as a boy interviewing a passerby about a fire...

Mark hefts his shotgun. "Okay, now I'm ready to kill something," he says.

A clatter and crash sounds above; Withers peers upwards, a look of trepidation on his face "Another one, Mr. Harrigan?"

"Could be the same one," says Mark. "I didn't actually kill the guy, just knocked him out."

Re: The Path to Carcosa
Sure. I'll probably post tomorrow. What's inside the cells? If we don't find Daniel, it'll be a nasty one, for sure.

Note that means we don't need to spend a clue?
Also, a turn back I overspent actions, moving to the Basement Hall and forgetting the other Asylum Hall, so Withers has only one action left... Still to reveal Act 2b.

Re: The Path to Carcosa
er, if Withers comes out of the cell with Daniel, Harrigan can take charge of him in the Basement. Good idea?
Action 3: Move to Basement
"Come on, son" says Harrigan, walking Daniel Chesterfield out of his cell with his arm round his shoulder " 'Nigel' you say--hm, don't you worry, we'll get him."
"Release a dangerous patient"--that was the cell Harrigan went into.
Re: The Path to Carcosa

Seeing that they need to escape, Mark ducks back into the other cell and snaps the bound patient's bonds. He howls like a wolf and flees the cell, which should provide an excellent distraction.

Daniel's an Ally, so one per player, and something that may be a problem: Withers has Dr. Christopher.
