[AndrewRogue]

Gloria/Soppy: Brain band-aids. To heal zombie wounds.

Finn/Strago: The stars are right...

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

Ursula/Mage: "Testifying" Cooter Falwell latches onto you and rambles on about his spiritual beliefs. Make a Lore (-1) check. If you pass, then somewhere in Cooter's words you find a clue to the Mythos threat. Gain 1 Clue token, but lose 1 Sanity. If you fail, move to the street while you listen to Cooter ramble on about pure nonsense.

Tommy/RC: Best pay it back, or they shall be breaking your legs.

Amanda/Cid: You look up to see Abigail Foreman leaning over you with hands on hips and a frustrated look on her face. Make a Will (-1) check. If you pass, she helps you find the book you were looking for. Take the first Tome from the Unique Item deck. If you fail, you've made too much noise. She escorts you out of the Library. Move to the street.

Vincent/Tal: A well-dressed man is standing on the platform. He turns and greets you by name. Although he seems oddly familiar, you don't remember ever meeting him before. Then he steps off the platform into the path of a speeding train. Make a Speed (-1) check. If you pass, he vanishes as you leap right through him. On the ground, you find yourself clutching a scrap of paper. Gain 1 Spell. If you fail, he is obliterated before your eyes. Roll a die and lose that much Sanity.

Moving Fight/Will to 1/4 and grabbing the Ruby of R'lyeh and Cross from others. I slip through the opening made by Ursula and head into the Lodge, taking out a Ghost on the way and gibbing to a Nightgaunt to head directly into the gate and not collect $200.
