Just.  As.  Planned.

As the Terror Level was below 5 prior to Tommy's devourment, his PS is PASSED.  Tal/Vincent gets five clues, one doom token is removed from the doom track, and the next terror increase is prevented.

<Cidward> Anyone around?
<DeadHero> maybe
<Cidward> Well, not a ton of ideas to do with my turn right now. I guess I'll just read Cultes des Goules and have an encounter somewhere.
<Cidward> I can't reach the Innsmouth monster swarm or have much chance of killing them, so.
<Cidward> Unless anyone else has suggestions. Anyway, that's alore check at -2. 4 - 2 = 2. Yay basic math.
* Hatbot (~Hatbot@cpe-24-28-0-36.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #rpgdlarkhamhorror

Amanda gambles with clues, quits while she's ahead. 1 stamina/1 clue spent on gaining 2 clues and a spell.

<Cidward> So hey.
<Cidward> It seems I'm likely to get sucked into a gate.
<Cidward> Since my luck is at 1.
<Cidward> I wouldn't care if if I had one more clue, since I could just seal it when I got out, but alas.
<Cidward> Is extra gate opening bad enough right now that I should burn my clues on preventing it instead?
<LucaTrulyworth> Probably.
<LucaTrulyworth> Hard to be sure since I don't think the first posts are updated...
<Cidward> they aren't.
<Cidward> It is unfortunate.
<Cidward> Well, I have four clues. Not terrible odds.
<Cidward> And I get two new ones on success.
<Cidward> So I guess I'll give it a shot.
<Cidward> roll 1d6 to hide from Gate and the punnery brigade
* Hatbot --> "Cidward rolls 1d6 to hide from Gate and the punnery brigade and gets 5."12 [1d6=5]
<Cidward> Cool.
<LucaTrulyworth> Net gain!
<Cidward> Yes.
<Cidward> Now I CAN seal a gate.
<Cidward> If I can reach one.

Vincent: You wander the frozen wastes. No encounter.

Hank: No encounter.

Ursula: The corpse you are examining isn't quite dead yet. It reaches you out and grabs you by the throat. Lose 1 Sanity. If you pass a Combat (-1) check, you defeat it and gain 1 Clue token. Otherwise, move to the street.

More failing of checks by 1.

<Cidward> So I have to make a sneak check. At -1. With sneak set to 1.
<torotorotoro> ... <_<
<Cidward> I figure I may as well drop 1 clue on this since I can get 2 if I make it.
<Cidward> roll 1d6 to listen on secret plans of creepy Ko cultists
* Hatbot --> "Cidward rolls 1d6 to listen on secret plans of creepy Ko cultists and gets 4."12 [1d6=4]
<Cidward> Boo.
<Cidward> Oh well.
<torotorotoro> <_<;

Does an environment card affect locations, like the hospital? Either way I fail, but clarification would be nice.
<%King_Meepdorah> roll 1d999 for "It was beauty...that killed the mage"?
* +Hatbot --> "King_Meepdorah rolls 1d999 for "It was beauty...that killed the mage"? and gets 999."12 [1d999=999]
