"Friendly game of pool?" Make a Speed (+0) check and consult the chart below.

Successes:
    0) You lose $3.
    1-2) You notice that your opponent is cheating! If you confront him, he shoves $3 at you but scowls, telling you you'd better not come back here. You are Barred from Easttown.

Okay, so the zmobie is a little scary, but that's nothing a little research and application of physical force can't solve.

[20:25] <RandomConsonant> Okay then, time for epic battle with a ZMOBIE
[20:25] <Yakumo> It's keeping Random in there just fine.
[20:25] <Mage> That's just because we keep closing off his escape.
[20:26] <RandomConsonant> Will is currently at 3, zmobie has -1 Horror mod... wait what?
[20:26] <Yakumo> He has at least one more encounter to go before he leaves.
[20:26] <Yakumo> I don't know what Mage is talking about. >_>

[20:26] <RandomConsonant> Anyways.

[20:27] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 2d6 to not fear the undead. and gets 4." [2d6=3, 1]
[20:27] <RandomConsonant> Mmmm....
[20:27] <Taishyr> Research is, thankfully, still on the board if it's needed.
[20:27] <RandomConsonant> Unless Carth wants to research how to avoid bats.
[20:27] * Mage eyes Random. So this is the new target, perhaps?
[20:27] <Knight> What does Research do?
[20:27] <RandomConsonant> Lets you reroll a failed skill check.
[20:28] <Yakumo> Lets one person per turn reroll a check.
[20:28] <Mage> Only the fails. You keep the successes.
[20:28] <MishaArsellecLune> I thought it rerolled the whole thing.
[20:28] <Mage> Nope
[20:28] <MishaArsellecLune> Huh.
[20:28] <Knight> Well, RC can use it to fight with
[20:28] <Knight> I don't care about losing 1 stamina, having loads of it and all <_<
[20:29] <RandomConsonant> Righto.
[20:29] * LittleBlueBat takes off, flies into Rat some more~
[20:29] <RandomConsonant> 2d6 to learn to not fear the undead
[20:29] <Mage> Good thing is, I can decide at any point.
[20:29] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 2d6 to learn to not fear the undead and gets 6." [2d6=1, 5]
[20:29] <RandomConsonant> Excellent.
[20:29] <Knight> Dammit, I even have a bullwhip
[20:29] * Knight attacks the bats in a linear fashion
[20:29] <Taishyr> Go whips bulls, then.
[20:30] <Taishyr> Also, yay, not fearing zombies.
[20:30] <Mage> In Soviet Russia, bull whips you.
[20:30] <Knight> There are no bulls in arkham! Only bats and squids!
[20:30] <RandomConsonant> Now then, fight is at 3, equipping Cavalry Saber for undead cleaving, -1 due to the zmobie's prowess.
[20:30] <RandomConsonant> 4d6 to loathe the undead
[20:30] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 4d6 to loathe the undead and gets 14." [4d6=2, 3, 5, 4]

Unpleasant Surprise!
If the terror level is 8 or higher, or there is only one empty space left on the Ancient One's doom track, then the Ancient One immediately awakens.

A gate opens at the Esoteric Order of Dagon.  A Deep One and a Ghost emerge.
A clue falls into the gate at Devil Reef.
Plus monsters move, the Deep One moves to the Church Green Streets and the High Priest sacrifices himself to his god.
The Deep Ones Rising track and Terror Level both increase by one.  Anna Kaslow has left town due to the terror level increase.
