[21:50] <RandomConsonant> You pay the clues to seal it
[21:51] <Bardiche> Oh. So I just close it. Heh.
[21:51] <Bardiche> So 6 dice I gather.
[21:51] <Bardiche> Wait, 5.
[21:51] <Bardiche> My mistake.
[21:51] <Bardiche> Guess it's time to start failing this up.
[21:51] <Bardiche> 5d6 to succeed where RC does not
[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls 5d6 to succeed where RC does not and gets 15."12 [5d6=4, 3, 1, 6, 1]

Even in times of trouble, we can still find a way to turn a profit.

http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Estate_Sale

A gate opens at the Witch House, spawning two monsters. A Clue appears at the Black Cave (going to Bard/Wilson). Square and Diamond move on White, Circle on Black.
To see Ithaqua spells certain doom, for all those that see him will be taken by him...

========================================

I roast the goddamned Shoggoth out of its misery in a blaze of glory. The dice is kind to me in fight rolls.

[03:23] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> Okay. Setting Fight/Will to 2/3.
[03:23] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> (Both 4/1 and 2/3 are within reach of my Focus)
[03:23] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> Moving to Uptown Streets for the Shoggoth, I'll exhaust the Motorcycle just in case.
[03:24] <RandomConsonant> And now, to confront the Shoggoth, which is making noises that sound like the name of a kind of eldritch soup
[03:24] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> Okay, 3 Will, -1 mod, 2 dice for Horror check.
[03:24] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> roll 2d6
[03:24] * Hatbot --> "Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee rolls 2d6 and gets 6." [2d6=5, 1]
[03:24] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> Welp!
[03:24] <RandomConsonant> Wow.
[03:24] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> My first success in a horror roll ever.
[03:24] * RandomConsonant applauds
[03:24] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> I still take one sanity damage, though.
[03:24] <Puniyo> Better than four at least!
[03:25] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> Okay, exhausting the Flamethrower. 2+7 = 9, -1 mod, 8 dice.
[03:25] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> I need three successes.
[03:25] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> roll 8d6 for FWEEM

[03:25] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> ...
[03:25] <RandomConsonant> I believe those are three successes
[03:25] <Puniyo> FWEEM
[03:25] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> FWEEM achieved.
[03:25] <Hello-GnawthedralWaddleDee> And now I have the tools for three allies!

-------------

I evade both monsters at my location and get to the French Hills for (un)epic battle with a Whatley Wizard, where I go slightly crazy and prepare myself for the mental asylum. I then hang around to suffer Stamina damage at the icey winds. Also I get a Spell, whoo.

[00:29] <Bardiche> Alright then, Speed/Sneak to 2/4, Lore/Luck to 4/1.
[00:30] <Bardiche> Going to cast Mists of Releh against the Vampire to see if I can elude its view...
[00:30] <Bardiche> d6 to see if I am a badarse spellcaster
[00:30] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls d6 to see if I am a badarse spellcaster and gets 6."12 [d6=6]
[00:30] <RandomConsonant> Heh
[00:30] <Puniyo> That you are.
[00:30] <Bardiche> ... I am! I evade the Vampire first thing in the morning.
[00:30] <Bardiche> I stumble toward the Dark Young and see if I can brush past it unnoticed. -2, 4 Sneak, so 2 dice.
[00:30] <Bardiche> 2d6 to see if I am James Bond
[00:30] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls 2d6 to see if I am James Bond and gets 9."12 [2d6=6, 3]
[00:30] <RandomConsonant> Dun nuh de nuh!
[00:31] <Bardiche> I am a badarse spellcasting James Bond and move to the General Store for safety.

[23:07] <Bardiche> I've got 7 clues to use. >_>
[23:07] <Bardiche> Psychology gives +1 to each roll, so success on 4, 5, 6.
[23:07] <Bardiche> Clue Token 1 to pass that Horror Check and preserve some sanity.
[23:07] <Bardiche> d6 to resist the urge to go crazy
[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls d6 to resist the urge to go crazy and gets 3."12 [d6=3]
[23:07] <Bardiche> d6 for Clue Token the Second's powers to not go crazy
[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls d6 for Clue Token the Second's powers to not go crazy and gets 3."12 [d6=3]
[23:08] <Bardiche> ... >_> Maaan.
[23:08] <Bardiche> d6 for Clue Token the Third.
[23:08] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls d6 for Clue Token the Third. and gets 1."12 [d6=1]
[23:08] <Puniyo> -.-
[23:08] <Bardiche> Should I just take that Sanity damage then? >_>
[23:08] <RandomConsonant> That's some feeling right there.
[23:08] <Bardiche> 4 clues left.
[23:08] <RandomConsonant> Yeah just take the sanity hit
[23:08] <Puniyo> ...probably.

[23:10] <Bardiche> So, 4 Fight, +4 from Shotgun, -3 from Whateley Wizard.
[23:10] <Bardiche> Net total: 5 Dice, need 2 successes. 6s count as 2 successes.
[23:10] <Bardiche> 5d6 to see if I'll at least do not fail THAT fiercely
[23:10] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls 5d6 to see if I'll at least do not fail THAT fiercely and gets 12."12 [5d6=1, 6, 3, 1, 1]
[23:10] <RandomConsonant> Heh.
[23:10] <Bardiche> A 6. I blast the Wizard from up close and genuflect.

Apparently they got tired of the desert...

http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Egyption_Exhibit_Visits_Miskatonic_U.

A monster surge occurs, spawning a total of four monsters! A Clue appears at the Black Cave.

Unless someone can fetch me up a reading that contradicts it, I do believe Tal has to deal with monsters this turn.

Hmm.  Normally monsters don't bug you until you've had one turn to close the gate, but then normally you come out during movement and close the gate that same turn.  Rulebook specifically says that the monsters ignoring you only applies the turn you return to Arkham, which he technically did last turn, so I guess he's screwed.  And cursed.  Enjoy the hospital bed, whichever one you end up at. <_<

I try feebly to save Tal. While the Mummy eats it to Clue Token Shotgunning, the Wraith refuses to follow its example and sends me to St Mary's.

If possible I'd traded Mists of Releh to Tal before any combat began.

... ;_; Sorry Tal.



[21:00] <Bardiche> I move over to the Black Cave, buckle up my Shotgun and prepare to be epic.
[21:00] <RandomConsonant> Witch House
[21:01] <Bardiche> ... Witch House, right.
[21:01] <Bardiche> So I face the Zombie first.
[21:01] <Smashy> Mummy
[21:01] <Bardiche> No Horror Check because I fail, I suffer 1 san damage, 1 sanity left. Almost insane.
[21:02] <Bardiche> -2 combat mod, 4 base Fight, +4 from Shotgun, -2 from Physical Resistance.
[21:02] <Bardiche> 6 dice to score 3 successes. I'm... almost... going emo here.
[21:02] <RandomConsonant> 4 dice
[21:02] <Smashy> 4 dice
[21:02] <Bardiche> 4?
[21:02] <Smashy> Yes
[21:02] <Bardiche> Oh.
[21:02] <Bardiche> Right, forgot the base combat mod.
[21:02] <Smashy> Shotgun turns into +2, which gets poofed by the mod
[21:03] <Bardiche> ... 4 dice to score 3 successes. This does not make me feel better.
[21:03] <Smashy> but you still get double successes on 6!
[21:03] <RandomConsonant> Yay shotgun~
[21:03] <Bardiche> ... Can I trade Mists to Tal just in case already?
[21:03] <RandomConsonant> You're in combat.
[21:03] <Yakumo> Can't trade in combat.
[21:03] <Bardiche> Right.

[21:03] <Bardiche> Okay.
[21:03] <Bardiche> Then, preparing my shotgun and 4 fight...
[21:03] <Smashy> Can't trade before he engages?
[21:03] <Bardiche> 4d6 for epic Zombie-related struggling
[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls 4d6 for epic Zombie-related struggling and gets 13."12 [4d6=4, 2, 4, 3]
[21:04] <Smashy> ...
[21:04] <RandomConsonant> ;_;
[21:04] <Smashy> HATBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
[21:04] <RandomConsonant> Two stamina damage
[21:04] <Bardiche> 1 Stamina left, then.
[21:04] <Bardiche> ... Hasta la vista, mates.
[21:04] <Bardiche> 4d6 for my second try.
[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls 4d6 for my second try. and gets 10."12 [4d6=2, 2, 1, 5]
[21:04] <Smashy> <_<
[21:04] <RandomConsonant> Clues.
[21:04] <Smashy> 4 clues!
[21:04] <Bardiche> d6 for Clue TOken the first
[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls d6 for Clue TOken the first and gets 4."12 [d6=4]
[21:04] <Smashy> :|
[21:04] <Bardiche> d6 for clue the second
[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls d6 for clue the second and gets 5."12 [d6=5]
[21:04] <Smashy> 2!
[21:04] <RandomConsonant> 2 successes!
[21:04] <Bardiche> d6 for clue the third
[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls d6 for clue the third and gets 5."12 [d6=5]
[21:05] <Smashy> Yay
[21:05] <RandomConsonant> 3!
[21:05] <Bardiche> Whew.
[21:05] <Bardiche> I somehow pull through and collect 2 Toughness worth of ZOMBIE.
[21:05] <Smashy> Mummy
[21:05] <RandomConsonant> 3 toughness


[21:16] <RandomConsonant> We're mostly playing by committee anyways.
[21:17] <Bardiche> Just go ahead then?
[21:17] <RandomConsonant> I honestly don't think he'll mind.
[21:17] <Bardiche> Right.
[21:17] <Bardiche> So we turn to face the dreaded Wraith...
[21:17] <Bardiche> I would go insane, but the thought of Snow fills me with the power of FRIENDSHIP and I cling to my sanity.
[21:18] <Bardiche> I raise a hand to cast Wither, which has no mod or Sanity damage...
[21:18] <Bardiche> 4d6 to see if the spell fizzles or succeeds
[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls 4d6 to see if the spell fizzles or succeeds and gets 13."12 [4d6=1, 5, 4, 3]
[21:18] <RandomConsonant> Excellent.
[21:18] <RandomConsonant> You now have a chance.
[21:18] <Bardiche> The spell succeeds! The Wraith becomes less scary, and I obtain a +3 mod to my 4 Fight... which then goes to 5 Fight due to the Wraith's combat mod.
[21:19] <Bardiche> I need to score 3 successes to send it back to the hell it came from.
[21:19] <Bardiche> 5d6 to struggle with the Wraith
[21:19] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls 5d6 to struggle with the Wraith and gets 20."12 [5d6=4, 5, 4, 3, 4]
[21:19] <RandomConsonant> ...
[21:19] <Smashy> ...
[21:19] <RandomConsonant> And it's off to St. Mary's with you.
[21:19] <Bardiche> I manage to somehow fail. I am brutalised and suffer an Injury.
[21:19] <Bardiche> I head to St Mary immediately. I do not pass Go!, I do not collect $200.

Personal Story - Failed
Deal's Off - Discard all of Tony's monster trophies.  From now on, when Tony claims a monster trophy, he also gains 1 Clue token.

Moving Lore to 3, attempt to Mist the Wraith (fail), attempt to blow up the Wratih with Powder of Ibn-Ghazi (fail), attempt to sneak away (fail), get sent to the hospital, and also hate Hatbot forever.  Taking an injury.

[22:47] <Puniyo> So... moving Lore to 3, 3 dice on Mists.
[22:48] <Puniyo> 3d6
[22:48] * Hatbot --> "Puniyo rolls 3d6 and gets 5." [3d6=2, 1, 2]
[22:48] <Puniyo> oh come on
[22:48] <RandomConsonant> ...
[22:48] <Smashy> ...
[22:48] <RandomConsonant> Ouch.
[22:48] <Puniyo> Hm.
[22:48] <Puniyo> Try the clue or just try and blow it up?
[22:48] <Smashy> Yeah, clue here or clue on the fight
[22:49] <Puniyo> Bleh, I'll use it here I guess.
[22:49] <Puniyo> 1d6
[22:49] * Hatbot --> "Puniyo rolls 1d6 and gets 2." [1d6=2]
[22:49] <Puniyo> ...
[22:49] <Smashy> ...
[22:49] <Puniyo> SERIOUSLY
[22:49] <Smashy> Seriously
[22:49] <RandomConsonant> ...
[22:49] <Puniyo> Hm.
[22:50] <Puniyo> I guess I should just try to blow it up then?
[22:50] <Smashy> You... don't really have a choice
[22:50] <RandomConsonant> Don't think you have any other options
[22:51] <Puniyo> I could keep using clues and just go for a close.
[22:51] <Puniyo> Err, clues for evade, close gate.
[22:51] <Smashy> ... We do win if everything gets closed this turn, do we?
[22:51] <Puniyo> Yes.
[22:51] <Smashy> ... hmm
[22:52] <Smashy> Personally I'd say if you're going to use those 5 use them on the fight check?
[22:52] <Puniyo> It kind of banks on Random closing that gate and me still being able to close this one.
[22:52] <Puniyo> Hm, that could work too.
[22:52] <Yakumo> Do you have a sneak score at all?
[22:52] <Puniyo> No.
[22:52] <RandomConsonant> Tony's sneak stat blows
[22:52] <Yakumo> You can use the Mists and a normal sneak in the same round.
[22:52] <Puniyo> Literally 0.
[22:54] <Smashy> So yeah... unless I'm missing something, 3+9-2 to blow up a Wraith
[22:54] <Puniyo> Alright.
[22:54] <Smashy> (+1 from Bullwhip, +however many clues are needed)
[22:54] <Yakumo> Need three successes with all sixes. >_>
[22:54] <Puniyo> 10 dice then.
[22:55] <Puniyo> 10d6
[22:55] * Hatbot --> "Puniyo rolls 10d6 and gets 24." [10d6=2, 1, 3, 2, 2, 5, 3, 1, 2, 3]
[22:55] <Puniyo> ...
[22:55] <RandomConsonant> Fuck.
[22:55] <Smashy> .......................
[22:55] <RandomConsonant> You.
[22:55] <Puniyo> what the fuck
[22:55] <RandomConsonant> Hatbot.
[22:55] <Yakumo> Well, you can try sneaking again if you aren't dead yet?
[22:55] <RandomConsonant> With what?
[22:55] <Smashy> Still no sneak
[22:56] <Yakumo> It would have to be all clues but you can.
[22:56] <Puniyo> I have clues for sneaking.
[22:56] <Yakumo> You always get a die for a clue.
[22:56] <Smashy> ... Yeah
[22:56] <Puniyo> It's... a hell of a better idea than trying to use them to kill it.
[22:56] <RandomConsonant> Eh, true.
[22:56] <Smashy> That literally is your only chance
[22:56] <Puniyo> Alright, back to evade hax I guess.
[22:56] <Merlin> At least you being cursed was basically irrelevant~?
[22:57] <Puniyo> Not really, I could've Bullwhip'd and got another 5-6.
[22:57] <Puniyo> Which would put me in a much better position.
[22:57] <Puniyo> But anyway.
[22:57] <Puniyo> 1d6 to evade
[22:57] * Hatbot --> "Puniyo rolls 1d6 to evade and gets 4." [1d6=4]
[22:57] <Smashy> 1
[22:57] * Puniyo sighs.
[22:57] <Merlin> Well, better than rolling 10 5s
[22:57] <Puniyo> 1d6
[22:57] * Hatbot --> "Puniyo rolls 1d6 and gets 2." [1d6=2]
[22:57] <RandomConsonant> 2
[22:57] <Smashy> 2
[22:57] <Puniyo> 1d6
[22:57] * Hatbot --> "Puniyo rolls 1d6 and gets 4." [1d6=4]
[22:57] <Smashy> 3
[22:57] <RandomConsonant> 3
[22:57] <Puniyo> 1d6
[22:57] * Hatbot --> "Puniyo rolls 1d6 and gets 5." [1d6=5]
[22:57] <Smashy> 4 :|
[22:58] <Puniyo> die
[22:58] <Puniyo> 1d6
[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Puniyo rolls 1d6 and gets 4." [1d6=4]
[22:58] * Smashy dies
[22:58] <Puniyo> That's uh.
[22:58] <Puniyo> Seriously.
[22:58] <RandomConsonant> And it's off to St. Mary's
[22:58] <Puniyo> No 6 on... how many dice was that?
[22:58] <Yakumo> Zero sixes on that many dice. >_>
[22:58] <Yakumo> Hatbot is a whore.
[22:58] <Puniyo> 18
[22:58] <Puniyo> 18 fucking dice.
[22:58] <Smashy> 19 dice
[22:58] <Puniyo> And I got two 5's and no 6's.

=====================================

I move my Fight/Will slider twice to the right, try to read Dhol Chants, fail it up and move to Ma's Boarding House for buying meself a friend for ten monster trophies.

[01:27] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> Okay.
[01:28] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> So, this means all that I have left to do is hit Ma's Boarding House and Dhol Chants? I guess I'll live.

[01:30] <Smashy> LAVA
[01:31] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> Two dice for Dhol Chanting, since it's a -2 mod.
[01:31] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> That probably won't be awesome.
[01:31] <Smashy> NOTHING BEATS LAVA
[01:31] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> roll 2d6 for MAGIC FRIENDS
[01:31] * Hatbot --> "Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee rolls 2d6 for MAGIC FRIENDS and gets 3." [2d6=2, 1]
[01:31] <Smashy> EXCEPT TOMMY LEE JONES

[01:31] <Soppy-WillKNOCKYOUALLDOWN> Niiiice
[01:31] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> Yup. At least, I lose no sanity!
