I fail the check and am driven insane.

[01:39] <RandomConsonant>> Anyways, can I get a witness for an impending Luck check before my internet inevitably fails once more?
[01:39] <Meu>    No.
[01:39] <RandomConsonant> Jerk.
[01:39] <RandomConsonant> Anyways, Luck's at 3, so two dice for this
[01:40] <Meu>    Been hanging out with Zelos too much I guess.
[01:40] <RandomConsonant> roll 2d6 for The Footlocker From The Black Lagoon
[01:40] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 2d6 for The Footlocker From The Black Lagoon and gets 4." [2d6=2, 2]
[01:40] <RandomConsonant> well fuck you too, Hatbot.

Amanda gambles with her brain and comes out on top somehow.

<Mari> Hm.
<Mari> <Soppy-EatAtJohtos> I think it was this one:
<Mari> <Soppy-EatAtJohtos> You find an old book. If you read it, make a Lore (+0) check and consult the chart below:
<Mari> <Soppy-EatAtJohtos> Successes:
<Mari> <Soppy-EatAtJohtos> 0) Evil forces assault you. Lose 1 Sanity and 1 Stamina.
<Mari> <Soppy-EatAtJohtos> 1) You find the diary of a lost soul who died in the caves long ago. Lose 1 Sanity and gain 1 Clue token as you read his horrible tale.
<Mari> <Soppy-EatAtJohtos> 2+) The book is a spellbook. Take the first Tome from the Unique Item deck.
<RandomConsonant> I think that's right
<Mari> Assuming that's accurate, may as well roll for it now. I won't be around for the next couple days anywho.
<Mari> Lore has been at 4 for ages, I know. So, 4 dice
<Mari> .
<Taishyr> nitwess.
<Mari> roll 4d6 book
* Hatbot --> "Mari rolls 4d6 book and gets 15."12 [4d6=2, 2, 6, 5]
<RandomConsonant> Booc
<Mari> Indeed.

The High Priest in Arkham should be a Cultist. Dunno what the hell went wrong there.

Tommy Muldoon

Special Abilities:

Hero - Mythos Phase: Before a mythos card is drawn, Tommy may make one or more monsters adjacent to his location move to his location, regardless of their normal movement.

On The Force - Any Phase: Tommy can never be arrested.  In addition, it only costs him 1 gate trophy or 5 toughness worth of monster trophies to become Deputy of Arkham.

Stats:

Sanity: 1/6
Stamina: 2/4

Speed: 1 2 3 [4] [+1]
Sneak: 3 2 1 [zero]

Fight: 2 3 [4] 5
Will: 4 3 [2] 1

Lore: zero 1 2 [3]
Luck: 6 5 4 [3]

Focus: 1

Inventory:
$5 (spending $2 on encounters, trading $3 to Cid/Amanda)
0 Clue Tokens
Rifle (2H Weapon, +5 Physical Combat, $6) (trading to Cid/Amanda)
Speed Skill (+1 Speed, Clue Tokens spent on Speed checks yield an extra die)
Bank Loan (Roll a die each turn on upkeep, on a 1-3, pay $1 or discard all items and become unable to get another Bank Loan for the duration of the game.  Pay $10 to pay off the loan and discard this card.)
4 Monster Trophies (Byakhee, Zombie, Elder Thing x2, total toughness: 6)

Personal Story:
Pass: Become devoured (obviously not yet fufilled)
Fail: Terror Level reaches 5 (3/5)

Failed bank loan roll *again*, trading $3 and the rifle to Cidmanda once he gets to the asylum, and paying $2 for electroshock because I'd like to do *something* before I inevitably bite the dust because goddamn.

Family Found Butchered!

The terror track rises to 4 due to this. Tom "Mountain" Murphy has packed up and left town!

A gate to the Dreamlands opens at the Graveyard, sucking in Vincent and spawning a Cultist and a Ghost! Moon monsters move on White, sending the Vampire to the Factory District Streets. Cross monsters move on black, sending that mass at The Universal Order of Dagon to the Church Green Streets.

A clue appears at The Unnamable

I have no clue tokens, so I guess I will be taking a Dust Deck to the face.

Personal Story:
Fail - Ursula is was Cursed.

!Actions!
Ran off to get my ass handed to me by a High Priest. Dropping Heal and the .38 (because Flesh Ward is so much better) and licking my idiotic wounds in the Hospital, I s'pose.

<Mageroni> That... makes me consider where my sliders will be, then.
<LucaTrulyworth> Just start over I guess.
<Mageroni> Yup.
<Mageroni> I'll keep Fight at 2, Will at 3, because he may be a dick, but there's still a Deep One to fight.
<Mageroni> And a High Priest.
<Mageroni> Alright, 2 san damage from Elder Thing
<Mageroni> 2 Fight, +3 from gun, +4 from Blade, no mod
<Mageroni> 9d6 YOU. ARE. A. DICK.
* Hatbot --> "Mageroni rolls 9d6 YOU. ARE. A. DICK. and gets 36."12 [9d6=5, 3, 3, 6, 4, 4, 2, 4, 5]
<HaplessHero> wait
<HaplessHero> you have 0 sneak
<Mageroni> Yes, and?
<HaplessHero> and martial law is in effect
<HaplessHero> this is a bad plan
<Mageroni> What happens when I'm caught?
<HaplessHero> You get arrested
<HaplessHero> In Innsmouth
<Mageroni> And then? Can I sneak out?
<HaplessHero> Where you have to roll Sneak checks to draw cards for a chance to escape unscathed
<HaplessHero> Or die.
<Mageroni> ... I can do that.
<Mageroni> Apparently I have stealth. Despite having terrible sneak.
<LucaTrulyworth> Getting arrested in Innsmouth is bad.
<HaplessHero> Jail Break: Each investigator in the Jail Cell during the Arkham Encounter Phase makes a Sneak(-1) check and draws one encounter card, plus one additional card for every success rolled, encountering one card of his choice and discarding the others.
<Mageroni> And I can discard encounters with a clue token, because I am Ursula. >_>
<Mageroni> Moving on.
<Mageroni> High Priest: 3 Will +1 mod
<Mageroni> 4d6 to not be scared of Guy With Bag On His Head

<Mageroni> 3d6 to Shoot Some Dude
* Hatbot --> "Mageroni rolls 3d6 to Shoot Some Dude and gets 10."12 [3d6=5, 1, 4]

<Mageroni> 3 Lore, -2 mod from Flesh Ward

<Mageroni> 3d6 DO IT RIGHT< DAMNIT
* Hatbot --> "Mageroni rolls 3d6 DO IT RIGHT< DAMNIT and gets 12."12 [3d6=6, 3, 3]
<Mageroni> Ok, 1 health.
<Mageroni> Can I do this? Let's find out!
<Mageroni> 3d6 to keep my streak of not dying!
* Hatbot --> "Mageroni rolls 3d6 to keep my streak of not dying! and gets 7."12 [3d6=1, 3, 3]
<HaplessHero> Fail.
<Mageroni> It's... not worth the clue tokens, is it?
<Mageroni> screw it, I'm going down to 1, may as well test the waters.
