Contagion Kills Life in Blasted Heath!

Headline

All monsters in the Blasted Heath streets or locations are returned to the cup.

A gate burst occurs at.... the Witch House! Which does nothing except cause a MONSTER SURGE! A Cultist appears at the Witch House, a Basilisk (Strangers Monster) appears at The Unnamable, and a Hummer at Independence Square. Due to the gate burst, the Wraith moves to the sky.

Moon monsters move on White, moving the Cultist to the French Hill Streets. Cross monsters move on Black, which does nothing.

Where are these damned lunatics coming from, anyways?

[19:24] <RandomConsonant> That's okay, Mr. Cultist. I wasn't planning on heading to the Silver Twilight Lodge at all this turn. Nope.
[19:25] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Heh
[19:25] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Also keeps you in the streets
[19:25] <RandomConsonant> Well.
[19:26] <RandomConsonant> Odds are good that the Fire Vampire will get poofed this turn and if worst comes to worst, I can probably dodge the wraith.
[19:31] <RandomConsonant> Honestly, I think I'll risk it. I don't think anyone else is going to be needing to use Leadership ths turn and if Moon doesn't move or Square doesn't move on white I should be good.
[19:31] <RandomConsonant> But first! Nultros check because I can actually make one this turn
[19:31] <RandomConsonant> roll 1d6 play it again Sam

[19:33] <RandomConsonant> 9 dice. This is gonna be messy.

<Captain_K> I pop out of the gate now right?

<Captain_K> Can I deal with him anyway, or is he not fightable this turn?
<@Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> You CAN if you want.
<Captain_K> Yeah, more monster trophies.  Roll it now?

Help Wanted!

Environment: Urban

The first investigator without a Retainer who ends his movement at the Newspaper gains a Retainer, then discards this card from play.

A gate burst occurs at.... Wizard's Hill! A gate to Yuggoth emerges. Due to the gate burst, the Wraith descends on Joe in the French Hill Streets. The gate also spawns a Hummer and a Byakhee. Clues appear at Darke's Carnival and Gardener's Place.
 
Diamond and Square monsters move on White, moving the Dimensional Shambler to the French Hill Streets, the Arkham Hummer to the Downtown Streets, and the Dunwich Hummer to the Backwoods Country Streets. Circle monsters move on Black, sending the Byakhee to the Sky.

Ignore the Fire Vampire. It was gate cleared last turn and I forgot to remove it from the map.

[Random Consonant]

[20:22] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> At the very least you can make your one die Nultros chec
[20:22] <RandomConsonant> right
[20:22] <RandomConsonant> roll 1d6
[20:22] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 1d6 and gets 6." [1d6=6]
[20:23] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Probably will have to be a turn you guys talk about

Anyways, bit of a spot here.  I can try sneaking past the Wraith but one die against the Shambler doesn't fill me with confidence even if I can beat it easily enough.  The alternative would be for Bard to pass Enchant Weapon to Cap to deal with the Wraith since he goes before me, but that requires zero margin of error on the Shambler horror check unless we *want* to see a horrible slapfight, since the Wraith pings sanity pass or fail, but Bard can prevent that, at least.

[Captain K.]

I'm willing to give it a go.  It'll also finish my personal story if I beat them.

Okay, since because of a technicality, Plan A is no good.  So we switch to Plan B and get some good results out of it.  Too bad I'm stuck here for the rest of the turn though.  Gogo not knowing about these things before suggesting them.

[12:22] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Yo
[12:22] <RandomConsonant> Yo
[12:27] <RandomConsonant> So. If I understand things correctly, Cap is gonna need two turns to do anything about the monsters there if he wants to grab Enchant Weapon from Bard.
[12:31] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> He just has to pass by, not stop there
[12:33] <RandomConsonant> Yeah, but Unnamable -> Hospital -> French Hill is 7 movement unless Bard doesn't need to be at the Hospital.
[12:33] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Right. Just saying
[12:33] <Yakumo> Go go Bardiche not reading what people are saying.
[12:34] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> To be fair, he's new to the game and even I had to confirm that movement thing.
[12:35] <RandomConsonant> If I knew about that little wrinkle I wouldn't have bothered suggesting the idea in the first place
[12:35] <RandomConsonant> Since uh 4 dice against three toughness is BAD PLAN
[12:35] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> And... he DID read it. It's just... yeah. Turn order matters here!
[12:35] <RandomConsonant> So yeah. Gonna have go back to plan B.
[12:36] <RandomConsonant> Which also sucks since I can't even risk evading the Shambler because failing evade against it *also* LiTaS's me.
[12:37] <RandomConsonant> Oh well. At least it's killable.
[12:37] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Failing a combat check LiTaS you
[12:37] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Not failing an evade check
[12:37] <RandomConsonant> I checked the wiki
[12:37] <RandomConsonant> Failing evade also = LiTaS
[12:37] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Huh. Odd. That's an incredibly specific wording
[12:38] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Woo for game creators changing their minds!
[12:38] <RandomConsonant> It makes *sense*, even if not listing it in the first place is severe derp
[12:38] <Yakumo> Wait, what movement wrinkle are you talking about?
[12:39] <RandomConsonant> Cap needs to move to Bard to be able to use his traded items in combat
[12:39] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Bard can't move to Cap before Cap goes into combat
[12:40] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Bard is 3rd player, Cap is 1st
[12:40] <Yakumo> Because Bard doesn't move until after? Mmm. Possible, but that kinda goes against the bit where people can trade items in the streets.
[12:40] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Big caveat here is combat occurs. If BARD was the one going into combat, they could pass it in the streets
[12:41] <RandomConsonant> And Bard going into combat doesn't help me this turn.
[12:42] <RandomConsonant> Now then, he could reach the Wraith and handle it, letting me not have to worry about it next turn
[12:42] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Well, figure it out ^ ^
[12:42] <Soppy-ElectricIceGrenadier> Off to the movies
[12:43] <RandomConsonant> Later
[12:43] <RandomConsonant> Anyways, going to switch to Plan B.
[12:44] <RandomConsonant> First order of buisness is to slide all ze way to Sneak, second order of buisness is to kill ze Shambler.
[12:44] <RandomConsonant> roll 1d6 to not cringe in horror
[12:44] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 1d6 to not cringe in horror and gets 4." [1d6=4]

[12:45] <RandomConsonant> Meh, whatever
[12:45] <RandomConsonant> 6 dice to murderize the Shambler.
[12:45] <RandomConsonant> roll 6d6 to at least achieve visceral satisfaction
[12:45] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 6d6 to at least achieve visceral satisfaction and gets 23." [6d6=2, 3, 2, 5, 5, 6]
[12:46] <RandomConsonant> deaded.
[12:46] <RandomConsonant> Now for the fun part
[12:46] <RandomConsonant> roll 4d6 nin nin nin~
[12:46] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 4d6 nin nin nin~ and gets 16." [4d6=4, 5, 5, 2]
[12:46] <RandomConsonant> whoosh~
[12:47] <Yakumo> Too bad you're stuck there now.
[12:47] <Yakumo> Oh well, at least it's a monster off the board and you aren't floating off somewhere.
[12:49] <RandomConsonant> Too bad about Plan A turning out to be so much worse than I had originally believed but at least there's positives.

Captain K, your skill is Library Use

If you have a Tome from the Unique Item deck, Abigail Foreman walks up to you. "I can't help but notice that book you're carrying. I have some discretionary funds for acquisitions at my disposal, and if you're agreeable, I'd like to purchase it for $10." If you agree, discard the Tome and gain $10. If you do not have a Tome from the Unique Item deck, nothing happens.
