I'll leave it out that I'm completely fine with people taking the Motorcycle/King In Yellow Tome from me. The Motorcycle, people just seem to need, while I think I'd made poor use of tomes anyway due to epic Lore and low Sanity issues.

If that's the case, and Smashy doesn't feel the need to be rescued from his watery fate right now, I'll take the Motorcycle this turn and, assuming I don't get disintegrated, Bless someone on my next turn.

Haha, I don't have the move to read it unless I grab the bike. Think it may be better to have Strags go bless people right now though. I do still have the clue tokens to seal even without it, afterall.

I hand my motorcycle to Harvey, slide my Fight/Will to 3/3, move to the Esoteric Order of Happy Happy and go nearly insane handling two Deep Manbabies (insert axl rose joke here). Success is achieved, however, and I'm jumpin' into le gate. Also, Kobot is pure evil.

[23:40] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> Okay, so 3 dice. -1 Horror Mod, 4 Will.
[23:40] * Nitori ties a ribbon on Kobot
[23:40] <Kobot> Try 3#1d6.
[23:40] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> roll 3#1d6
[23:40] <Kobot> Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee rolled 3#1d6 --> [ 1d6=2 ]{2}, [ 1d6=4 ]{4}, [ 1d6=4 ]{4}
[23:40] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> Dick. =|
[23:40] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> One Sanity down, I'd better survive the next one.
[23:40] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> Okay, combat tiems.
[23:41] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> 3 Fight, +2 from Hand Axe, +3 from Knife. +0 Combat mod from the Manbaby, so eight dice.
[23:41] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> I need one success.
[23:41] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> roll 8#1d6
[23:41] <Kobot> Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee rolled 8#1d6 --> [ 1d6=1 ]{1}, [ 1d6=2 ]{2}, [ 1d6=5 ]{5}, [ 1d6=3 ]{3}, [ 1d6=2 ]{2}, [ 1d6=4 ]{4}, [ 1d6=2 ]{2}, [ 1d6=2 ]{2}

[23:41] <RandomConsonant> <_<
[23:42] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> Man, Kobot is downright vitriolic.
[23:42] <Kobot> Ko.
[23:42] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> Okay, second Deep Manbaby.
[23:42] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> Time to go insane if Kobot's kindness is any indication.
[23:42] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> roll 3#1d6
[23:42] <Kobot> Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee rolled 3#1d6 --> [ 1d6=3 ]{3}, [ 1d6=2 ]{2}, [ 1d6=6 ]{6}
[23:42] <xorntoro-effthisplanet> >_>
[23:42] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> ... <_<
[23:42] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> Okay!
[23:42] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> I'm not crazy yet!
[23:42] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> Time for the second combat roll to plaster the Deep Manbaby One.
[23:43] <xorntoro-effthisplanet> Yes you are, you're just not dragged into the loony bin yet.
[23:43] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> roll 8#1d6
[23:43] <Kobot> Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee rolled 8#1d6 --> [ 1d6=3 ]{3}, [ 1d6=2 ]{2}, [ 1d6=6 ]{6}, [ 1d6=3 ]{3}, [ 1d6=4 ]{4}, [ 1d6=3 ]{3}, [ 1d6=4 ]{4}, [ 1d6=5 ]{5}

Arkham Encounters

Smashy/Luke Robinson
------------
You come across a deserted boat. Make a Luck (+0) check. If you succeed, you may travel to any aquatic location and have an encounter there. If you fail, the boat was abandoned for a reason. You sink beneath the waves to Y'ha-nthlei. Move there and immediately have an encounter.


Other World Encounters

Gatewalker/Gloria Goldberg
------------
Pass a Luck(-1) check or the book is a prison.  If you fail, roll a die.  On a failure, a monster appears from the book.  On a success, you are drawn into the book for a time.  Stay here next turn.

Random Consonant/Wendy Adams
------------
A horrible visage captures your gaze.  Pass a Will(+0) check to look away or lose 1 Stamina and stay here next turn.

Jo'ou Ranbu/Darrell Simmons
------------
A vast stirring rumbles through the plateau.  Pass a Sneak(+0) check or roll a die and lose that much Stamina.

Smashy passed his roll as you can see in Snow's post, and chose to go to the Unvisited Isle.  His new encounter:

A monster appears!  If you do not defeat it, you are Cursed.  It is Barnabas Marsh.

Right, forgot that when putting things together past midnight. <_<

An old professor from Earth teaches you a thing or two.  Pass a Luck(-1)[2] check to gain 1 Skill.

If you don't know that terminology the number in brackets is the number of successes you need to pass.

Picnickers Panic!
A careless picnicker unleashes 2 monsters on the Downtown streets.

A gate appears at the Unvisited Isle, sending Luke to the City of the Great Race and spawning a Warlock and a Proto-Shoggoth.
A Zombie and a Ghost appear in the Downtown Streets.
A clue appears at the Science Building.
Plus monsters move, the High Priest moves to the Merchant District Streets.

Ryan Dean had a visit from the Strangler last night.  Only three allies remain in the ally deck.

<Mari> His damage is boosted too, or is that still fail?
<Smashy> +2 toughness, endless, can't get the clues unless you ignore endless
<Smashy> Hence me being twenty different kinds of screwed against him
<Mari> Well, Warlock damage sucks, I can afford to whiff a couple times.

Gloria attempts to find a gate! She can't seem to manage it though. ;_;

> as I still have 6, so I can seal still
<Mari> I'd say sure.
<Mari> You're not going to get four more at this point, so anything above five should be used to speed things up if possible.
<Nitori> Actually you have KiY right
<Nitori> That's uh four more
> well, I have the KiY so actually I can get 4 more
<Mari> Huh.
<Nitori> Thankfully Smashy killed the exact monster out of like 80 he could have drawn
<Nitori> So you have a bit of time
> if anyone can afford to sit in an Other World for an extra round, it's me
<%Laggy> we're open minded individuals here
<+RandomKesaranPasaran> are we
<%Laggy> no not really.

<Tide|NukicommentatoroptionforF> Hatbot is a pacifist

Other World Encounters[/u]

Gatewalker/Gloria Goldberg
------------
Pass a Luck(-1) check to discover a cache of ancient papers containing valuable information about the Mythos.  Gain 1 Clue token for every success you rolled on your Luck check.

-or-

The huge book opens noiselessly at your approach.  If you choose, you may read it, in which case you must pass a Fight(-1)[2] check to defeat its guardian.  If you do, draw 3 Spells and keep 2 of them.  If you fail, lose 3 Stamina.

Random Consonant/Wendy Adams
------------
Backing up against the cliff, you must either face the horrible creature in front of you or leap into the choppy waters below.

If you face the monster, draw a monster from the cup.  If it has less than 3 Toughness, return it to the cup and draw again until you either draw a monster with at least 3 toughness or you have drawn 5 times, in which case you fight whatever monster you've drawn, regardless of its toughness.

If you jump, roll a die.  On a success, you return to Arkham.  On a failure, you are devoured.

Jo'ou Ranbu/Darrell Simmons
------------
Your peril clears your mind.  Pass a Will(+0) check to restore your Sanity to its maximum value.

Smashy/Luke Robinson
------------
You stare into the face of madness.  Roll 1 die for each point of Sanity you have.  Lose 1 Sanity for each die that does not roll a success.  If you do not go insane, gain 1 Clue token for each die that rolled a success.

El Cideon/Hank Samson
------------
The odd plant has you in its clutches.  Pass a Fight(-1) check to break free.  If you fail, lose 1 Stamina and 1 Sanity as it partially digests you.


Random wanted a monster, he gets a Dhole.
