Ancient Unown Tablet gives me shiny, shiny clues. No movement as a result.

[23:33] <+Yoshiken> Alright, so...
[23:33] <+Yoshiken> I guess I'm gonna have my speed at 3 and try using that Ancient Tablet?
[23:33] <+RandomConsonant> A plan, it sounds like.
[23:34] <+Yoshiken> So, 2 dice, and I want no 6s from this.
[23:34] <+MishaArsellecLune> Don't think there's a whole lot that needs done right now so might as well.
[23:34] <+Yoshiken> roll 2d6 for Unown Tablet fail
[23:35] * Hatbot --> "Yoshiken rolls 2d6 for Unown Tablet fail and gets 6." [2d6=3, 3]
[23:35] <+MishaArsellecLune> Well you got a total of 6.
[23:35] <+Yoshiken> Great success. 4 clue get.
[23:36] <Nitori> Actually since you're rolling two dice and gaining two on each success
[23:36] <Nitori> I think it'd make more sense if you got 2 clues + 1, then 2 clues + 1 again
[23:37] <+RandomConsonant> Perhaps, but since the clues are gained all at once, I think he'd gain 4 clues + 1, actually.
[23:37] <+Yoshiken> Oh, duh. Forgot about the unique.

5 Clue Tokens
Handcuffs (Exhaust before making a Combat check against a Cultist, Tcho-tcho, Ghoul, or Maniac to automatically pass that check and gain 1 Sanity.)
Bullwhip (One-Handed physical weapon; +1 to combat checks; may exhaust to reroll one die during combat checks.)
Map of Arkham (Exhaust to get +1 Movement)
Fight (+1 Fight, when you spend a clue, get an extra die on fight checks.)


----------

Tony will sell off his stuffed cultist head for $2 on the uptown streets, and focus shift his speed and luck one higher each.

He will then exhaust his map of Arkham and head on up to the Black Cave to grab the double clue, thus 'failing' his quest. What a nightmare.
