Ill Wind Grips Arkham!
The first player must pass a Luck(-1) check or be Cursed.(Harvey would have been the first player at this time so ignore this)

A gate attempts to open on top of the one at the Graveyard, causing a monster surge.  An Uprising token is added to the Deep Ones Rising track.
A Dhole appears at the Graveyard.  A Ghost appears at the Unvisited Isle.  A Star Spawn appears at the Esoteric Order of Dagon.
Two Elder Things and a Proto-Shoggoth also appear but go to the outskirts, exceeding the limit and causing the Terror Level to rise.
A Clue is whisked into the Unvisited Isle gate.
Slash monsters move on black, the Gug moves to the Southside Streets.


Duke runs away from town with his tail between his legs due to the terror level increase.  John Legrasse had an unfortunate meeting with the Southside Strangler.  ONLY ONE ALLY REMAINS.
Quachil Uttaus visits Harvey, and his remains scatter on the wind.


Ursula Downs has arrived in Arkham.

Ursula's starting equipment: $1, 4 Clue Tokens, Food, .38 Revolver, Holy Water, Powder of Ibn-Ghazi, and Will.  Choose your starting position in your movement phase post, Ursula chooses where she starts.

Unless a Witch or a High Priest somehow started counting as two separate trophies you haven't passed anything yet, buster.

Glancing behind you, you see that the beasts are still chasing you.  Pass a Speed(-1) check or be Lost in Time and Space.

Horror at Groundbreaking!
An ancient stone is disturbed by the construction, releasing 2 monsters into the Miskatonic U. streets.

A gate opens at the Historical Society, releasing an Elder Thing and a Warlock.
The two monsters released by the Mythos go straight to the Outskirts.
A clue appears at the Silver Twilight Lodge.
Moon monsters move on white, the Zombie downtown shambles to easttown instead.

Richard Upton Pickman has left this mortal coil.  No allies remain, the rumor will be failed on the next Mythos phase if you don't pass it before then.

Wendy shifts Speed/Sneak to 2/6 pops out at the Historical Society, somehow having acquired $10 from a PS success while Lost in Time and Space.  She avoids both monsters guarding the gate to Yuggoth and prays that she doesn't run into an encounter with a stamina hit.

[22:33] <RandomConsonant> So... unless someone really fervently objects, I'm going to try my luck with Yuggoth
[22:33] * Smashy falls over. Oh fug it. At least you can pump Sneak to the max
[22:33] <RandomConsonant> Shifting Speed/Sneak to 2/6 so I can sneak by the monsters guarding the gate.
[22:34] <RandomConsonant> Well, it's not like we have much in the way of options.
[22:34] <RandomConsonant> The alternative takes too damn long.
[22:34] <RandomConsonant> Anyways, evading the Star Spawn, -2 Awareness so four dice.
[22:35] <RandomConsonant> roll 4d6 nin nin nin~
[22:35] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 4d6 nin nin nin~ and gets 19." [4d6=6, 6, 6, 1]
[22:35] <RandomConsonant> Star Spawn evaded, wincing at good rolls being used up.
[22:35] <RandomConsonant> Evading Warlock, same deal.
[22:35] <RandomConsonant> roll 4d6 whoosh~
[22:35] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 4d6 whoosh~ and gets 14." [4d6=6, 1, 6, 1]
[22:35] <Soppy-MeepleIsAWA1PlotBoss> Radscorpions
[22:36] <RandomConsonant> All ones and sixes, I see.
[22:36] <Hikari> 666, such a waste.
[22:36] * Smashy shrugs. That works. I'll hop out of R'lyeh and seal that, then

<RandomConsonant> <_<
<RandomConsonant> WHERE WAS THAT ROLL WHEN I TRIED TO SNEAK PAST THAT THING
<Smashy> You sneaked past that thing much better than someone with a max Sneak of 6 did
> Hatbot just stole my blessing. Not fucking me on the sneak is fair payment for that, I think.
<RandomConsonant> <_<

Luke goes all homo-genius on the R'lyeh gate.  And then seals it.

[00:22:29] <Smashy> I think I have the only roll?  Strago has no dice for that roll and I don't think we want to spend those clues when they're enough to seal
[00:22:53] <Smashy> BUT ANYWAYS
[00:23:21] <Smashy> I'm going to mix it up and use my Lore, since to be honest it doesn't matter
[00:23:53] <Smashy> 4 Lore, +1 Ra, -3 R'lyeh
[00:23:58] <Smashy> 2d6 for MINDGAMES
[00:24:00] * Hatbot --> "Smashy rolls 2d6 for MINDGAMES and gets 6." [2d6=5, 1]
[00:24:04] <Cid_Samson> Ew, R'lyeh.
