Aya shifts her Speed/Sneak 1 to the left, then heads to the uptown streets where she will proceed to sacrifice 4 of her sanity investigating the rumor for the sake of news.  Posting the change now instead of on the encounter phase.

[Taishyr]

From what I can tell in chat, they're pretty much aware, and the general consensus is that they can't afford to pass it.

Then again, I'm not paying attention, so.

[Magetastic]

We decided that 3-4 Madnesses wasn't worth it.

[Shale]

Yeah, it's kind of damned if you do, damned if you don't. Gooooooooood luck with that Gate limit, though.

[Taishyr]

Oh, they're preparing to fight Yuyuko as soon as it goes off. >_>

[Shale]

Quick game!

Turn edited, Komachi joins Cirno in being completely insane.

Sliding Fight/Will to 2/4, first of all. Then moving to the Gardener's Place and letting loose on the monsters there.

Round 1: China vs Dark Young ...Fight!

* Hatbot --> "Gate-weekend rolls 3d6 for non-insanity and gets 10." [3d6=1, 5, 4]
* Hatbot --> "Gate-weekend rolls 10d6 for (tech assisted) EX Hadoken and gets 38." [10d6=6, 2, 2, 3, 6, 1, 6, 3, 6, 3]

Not flinching in the face of such an abomination, Hong Meling checked her trump card...yes, it still had fuel. Excellent. It might be cheating, but right now she didn't have time to study for the years it would take to learn such a technique. Crossover Sign: Flaming HADOKEN!!!!!

Round 2: Chine vs Zombie ...Fight!

* Hatbot --> "Gate-weekend rolls 2d6 for not fearing the reaper and gets 10." [2d6=6, 4]
* Hatbot --> "Gate-weekend rolls 5d6 for zmobie slashing action and gets 15." [5d6=6, 1, 3, 3, 2]

Zombies. That DR 5/Slashing could really mess up her game, being a punchy-kicky martial artist and all(and being out of flamethrower gas). Well, she was planning on avoiding it's use, since she didn't have a horse and all, but there's really no law against using a cavalry saber on foot, right? Hack and slash time!

And that's that. Took 1 San damage from the Nightmarish ability even after making the check, but sent both the DY and the Zmobie packing.

Arkham Encounters

Halbarad/Shinki
-----------------
You find a man painting a picture of one of the horrible gargoyles lining the walls of the Graveyard. Seeing you, he introduces himself as Richard Upton Pickman, a painter visiting from Boston. If you spend monster trophies that have a total of 5 toughness, Pickman takes a liking to you. Take his ally card. If it is not available, he teaches you a spell instead. Draw 1 spell.

Richard Upton Pickman IS available.

[Yakumo]

As her friends were carted off to the Asylum after the burst of energy Uptown, Aya swore she saw a short-haired girl near their unconcious bodies.  When she checked with the orderlies, however, she was very nearly taken along as they hadn't noticed anything amiss.  At the same time in the middle of the night, with nobody working the station to see it, a mysterious old train creaked its way through the Arkham depot.

Terror at the Train Station!

A rusty train arrives in Arkham, disgorging 2 monsters into the Northside streets.

A gate opens at the Witch House, spawning a Dark Young and a Mi-Go.  A clue appears at the Black Cave.

A Cultist and an Elder Thing creep out of the train and into the Northside Streets.

Moon monsters move on white, the Cultist moves Downtowngoes nowhere because he shows up after movement.

Deadline is Tuesday at 10 PM EST.  I'll put the replacement investigators in during Encounters.
