“Psychology,” Upkeep: Dr. Fern may restore 1 Sanity to herself or another character in her location. She cannot raise a character’s Sanity higher than that character’s maximum Sanity.
=================================

No payment necessary on the bank loan, no stat adjustments, going to go hang out at the Unvisited Isle and try to bait a gate I guess?

<Tewi> Anyone here?
<Nitori> ~
<Tewi> Need to roll for the bank loan.
<Tewi> d6
<Tewi> Oh wait, bot missing.  Sec.
<Ranmilia> Here
* You've invited Hatbot to #rpgdlarkhamhorror (atarians.dejatoons.net)
* Hatbot (~Hatbot@24.174.51.230) has joined #rpgdlarkhamhorror
<Tewi> It's not responding?
<Tewi> Ah, there.
<Tewi> Just slow.
<Tewi> I know the command, Alex.  But thanks anyway.

Enchanted Blade (1H, magic weapon, +4 to combat checks)
.38 Revolver (1H, +3 to combat checks)
1 gate trophy (Dreamlands)

I kill the Formless Spawn then die to Hatbot so horribly~

<Nitori> I forgot, was I supposed to try to kill the Formless thing~?
<Ranmilia> If you can
<Nitori> 'Kay
<Nitori> I'll do that now
<Nitori> Shfiting Sp/Sn to 3/1 so I can make it there, first
<Nitori> I'll fight the Spawn first and take 2 San damage since I am cheap
<Nitori> Or should I clue this, I'm not sure~
<AndrewTheRogue> Might be a good idea to clue it? Hastur rape is imminent
<Nitori> I have two, I will try 1
<Ranmilia> Makes little difference, I'd save your clue
<Ranmilia> You can use it against a Hastur attack to save 2 sanity anyway
<Ranmilia> And you might be able to recover the san loss before he wakes up if he isn't doing so next turn
<Nitori> Oh well then I'll just keep it, I guess
<AndrewTheRogue> Right. His damage is 2 Sanity as well
<Nitori> Now the fun part, I have 5 fight + 4 from magic blade = 9
<Nitori> -2 check, 2 toughness, I get seven dice to hit 2 successes
<Nitori> 7d6
<Hatbot>
ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 7d6 and gets 19." [7d6=5, 1, 3, 5, 3, 1, 1]
<Nitori> It's dead
<Nitori> Oh and there's a Dhole there
<Nitori> I don't want to fight it
<Nitori> 1 Sneak, -1 evade modifier and Pallid Mask give me 2 dice I think
<Nitori> 2d6
<Hatbot>
ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 2d6 and gets 4." [2d6=1, 3]
<Nitori> This is where I clue token or try to I guess
<Nitori> 1d6
<Hatbot>
ACTION --> "Nitori rolls 1d6 and gets 3." [1d6=3]
<Nitori> Well banana
<Nitori> I have one left, do I lose it if I get murdered which is about to happen~?
<AndrewTheRogue> Uh.
<Ranmilia> Losses are rounded down so no but you would lose items
<AndrewTheRogue> One sec. tired and brain dead
<Nitori> All I have is the Pallid Mask/.38 Revolver/Enchanted Blade
<AndrewTheRogue> That works for the moment.
<Ranmilia> Mmmm you could just lose the mask then
<Nitori> That's what I was thinking
<Nitori> I'll toss that and go insane
<Ranmilia> Yeah, just take the death and ditch the mask
<Ranmilia> Failing the sneak check makes you take the stamina hit first, doesn't it?
<Ranmilia> Or is horror still first?
<AndrewTheRogue> Stamina hit, THEN you attempt the Horror
<Nitori> And by insane I mean battered and broken
<Nitori> I have 3 stamina so that kills me

[Yakumo]

I guess I take a free trip to the hospital and lose one sanity, since I don't get any dice for that check.  I drop nothing due to rounding down.

[Strago]

Hey, I won't be able to get on IRC and do it probably until Sunday night, so anyone else can feel free to do my Encounter rolling for me. And take my next turn in some helpful way, if it comes to that.

A gate opens at the Unnam...

A gate opens at the...

A gate

Un
un
un
unnammable

It begins as a mere whisper on the wind. A gentle breeze that you suspect is nothing more than the act of an overagitated imagination on a dark night.

Hastur...

But soon, the sound rises in pitch and is joined by a chorus of barking dogs and squawking birds, their voices cracking and distorting as they join the sound of the wind.

Hastur...

Within moments you realize that it isn't just the wind and the birds and the beasts, but the voice of every citizen in Arkham is rising in a single crescendo, their voices pitching in a mad cry that chills the very core of your being, that twists your soul and sears your mind.

HASTUR!

The sky splits asunder, space and time tearing as the name is heard.

He has arrived.

The end is nigh.

[AndrewRogue]

Any objections to doing the battle with the GoO in IRC at around 8pm PST tomorrow?

If it is generally okay but you aren't sure you can be there, please post your stats and who you'd like to trust with your rolls.

[Hunter Sopko]

I'm good with it. Here's my last upkeep

<Soppy-Answerman> roll 1d6
* Hatbot --> "Soppy-Answerman rolls 1d6 and gets 1." [1d6=1]

I lose the blessing, unfortunately.

I think I should be good to fight at 8 PST tonight. In the event that I end up being unavailable, here are my stats. I don't particularly care who controls me in that event, so... uh, Yakko can do it.

Do people want to give me some better weapons, since I ignore his physical resistance? I could do some damage with the Dep's Revolver and a .45, maybe.

[AndrewRogue]

With a shuddering sigh, the great figure fades from view. The sounds cease, a tranquil silence descending over the city. And then, almost like nothing had happened, the normal sounds of the night resume.

You've done it.

THE RPGDL HAS DEFEATED HASTUR THE UNSPEAKABLE.

[Strago]

Woohoo! Well done, team. Sorry I, uh, inadvertently made two of you be dead. Aherm.

Thanks for running the game, Andy. Would definitely play again, especially with fewer players and an expansion or two. I really like the Innsmouth investigators hint hint.

[Bardiche]

Congratulations, everyone, for removing Hastur.
