Other World Encounters

Strago/Ursula Downs
------------
Pass a Luck(-1) check to find something useful among the incomprehensible artifacts.  If so, draw 1 Unique Item.

Gatewalker/Gloria Goldberg
------------
The buzzing creature asks if you would prefer to see your past or your future.

If you choose to view your past, the creature shows you a kaleidoscope of images from your life, many of which you had forgotten.  Roll a die and gain that many Clue tokens.

If you choose to look at your future, take this card.  At any time, instead of rolling for a skill check, you may discard this card to get 3 automatic successes on that skill check.

Smashy/Luke Robinson
------------
The hideous whistling fills your ears.  Pass a Will(-1) check or lose 2 Sanity.

The whistling may have tried to use the form of a Trout to gain the upper hand, but it was unsuccessful anyways.

[22:49:40] * Smashy pokes people
[22:51:05] * Yakumo slaps Smashy around with a large trout.
[22:51:42] <Smashy> 2d6 to block the +2 Trout of Hideous Whistling with PURE WILLPOWER
[22:51:45] * Hatbot --> "Smashy rolls 2d6 to block the +2 Trout of Hideous Whistling with PURE WILLPOWER and gets 9." [2d6=3, 6]

Strago's totally useless item is Nameless Cults.

Icy Conditions
Environment: Weather
Investigators receive 1 less movement point during the Movement Phase. Fast Monsters move like normal monsters.

A monster surge occurs at the Historical Society.  A Shoggoth appears at the Society.  A Deep One Hybrid appears at Y'ha-Nthlei and dives into an abyss.  The Deep Ones Rising track rises to four.  Four other monsters are exceeding the monster limits, the Outskirts limit is exceeded twice.  The terror level rises to 3 and the General Store closes down.

Moon monsters move on Black, Darrell gets a visit from a Zombie.  Plus monsters move, the High Priest of Dagon wanders into the French Hill Streets.

Gloria's draw from the Dust Deck:

Luke sleepprods Ursula through the gate, and then shortly after turns the gate into something much more familiar to him: The Dreamlands. Also Ra

[12:09:22] * Hatbot --> "Smashy rolls 3d6 and gets 11." [3d6=6, 3, 2]


----

If it isn't obvious, everyone in Arkham needs to stay put so the encounters don't open another gate.  That, or move to the streets to be sure.
