[18:01] <RandomConsonant> Sure

MODE NOTE: STAR VAMPIRE IS IN THE RIVERTOWN STREETS.

Even the priests started to help out for real. Who'd have thought they had it in them?

Church Group Reclaims Southside
All monsters in the Southside streets or locations are returned to the cup.

A gate opens at the Black Cave, spawning two monsters. A clue appears at Hibb's Roadhouse. Circle moves on White, Dash, Triangle and Star move on Black.

The Chthonian activates, dealing 1 stamina damage to all investigators in Arkham.

<AndrewRogue> roll 1d6
* Hatbot --> "AndrewRogue rolls 1d6 and gets 5."12 [1d6=5]
<AndrewRogue> Yay!

ARKHAM ENCOUNTERS
Tal/Tony
The shopkeeper notices one of the items you're carrying and his face lights up. "Say, I've been looking for one of those. You wouldn't mind parting with it, would ya? I can pay well." You may sell one of your common items for twice its listed price.

Snow/Leo
Brain band-aids!

Bard/Wilson
Prohibition failed to influence the proprietor of Hibb's. You drink heavily while quizzing the locals about the strange goings-on in Arkham. Make a Will (-1) check. If you pass, you hold you liquor and learn something. Gain 2 clue tokens. If you fail, you pass out. Move to the street and either have 1 item (your choice) or all of your money stolen.

Smashy/Daisy
The gate looms...

OTHER WORLD ENCOUNTERS
RC/Kate - R'lyeh
You hear distant chants. You feel you may learn more if you stop to listen. If you wish, you may gain 1 spell, but you will be delayed.

Yoshi/Joe - Dreamlands
The shantak claws at you as it swoops past overhead. Pass a Speed (-2) check or lose 2 stamina as its claws rake your chest.

I avenge my fallen librarian comrade by making barbecue out of the Star Vamp. Burn, traitor. The sanity hit wasn't nice, though~


[14:10] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> So, let's do this.
[14:10] <Puniyo> Good odds on succeeding but we saw what happened to Smashy.  >.>
[14:11] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> I'm at 3 Speed/2 Sneak, I can make it to the spawn without any sliding.
[14:11] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> So, walking to the goddamned vampire, and casting Shrivelling for good luck to start.
[14:11] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> 4 Lore, -1 mod, 3 dice.
[14:11] <Smashy> ... Not the flamethrower? <_<
[14:11] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> ... right, I can't do both!
[14:12] <Smashy> IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU MIGHT FIND MY ARM USE THAT FOR A THIRD HAND
[14:12] <Smashy> (And then return it to St. Mary's Hospital asap plx)
[14:13] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> So, no, Flamethrower instead, +7 dice off the bat. The vamp's mod is -3. 4+7-3 = 8. I take three sanity damage, and by god I hope these clue tokens will be enough (also, I ignore the physical resistance, yay allies).
[14:13] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> I need three successes, 3 Toughness monster.

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

I charge my motorcycle and get to the Black Cave! My unexhausted Motorcycle is given to Jo'ou for safekeeping and use. I then buckle up to kill the Shambler. I go slightly insane at seeing that thing, then I collect my monster trophy and wait to get sucked into that gate.

[19:52] <Bardiche> Right.
[19:52] <Bardiche> So! 4+4 Combat check, -2 for Shambler, 1 success needed.
[19:53] <Bardiche> d6 to blast the Shambler
[19:53] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls d6 to blast the Shambler and gets 3."12 [d6=3]
[19:53] <Bardiche> >_>
[19:53] <Smashy> gj
[19:53] <Bardiche> 5d6 to blast him proper, stupid me~
[19:53] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls 5d6 to blast him proper, stupid me~ and gets 17."12 [5d6=1, 3, 3, 4, 6]
[19:53] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> Well, Hatbot was slightly merciful.
[19:53] <Bardiche> ... Two successes! The shambler eventually dies despite my rolling failures.
[19:53] <Smashy> Blasted into blastypieces
[19:53] <Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> *1 success
[19:53] <Bardiche> I collect 1 Toughness of Monster Trophies?
