Dexter Drake - Silver Twilight Lodge (Inner Sanctum)
One of the Lodge brothers has a valuable opportunity for you. Take the first Task card from the Common Item deck. However, thanks to your connections in the Lodge, place 1 Clue token on it to begin (you may skip the first location on the card).

Vincent Lee - The Unnamable
The gate looms...

Leo Anderson - Ma's Boarding House
Joey "the Rat" waves to you from the side of the house. "I've got some information you might be interested in. Only $4." You may pay $4 to gain 2 Clue tokens "Hey, info like this don't come cheap, ya know!"

Michael McGlen - Unvisited Isle
You come across a large pile of human bones under the boughs of one of the willows on the isle. Lose 1 Sanity, but find a scroll among the bones. Draw 1 Spell.

You gain: (Strangers Expansion Spell)

Other World
Joe Diamond - Plateau of Leng
The sucking mouths drain enough of your blood to leave you dizzy. Lose 1 Stamina.

Kate Winthrop - City of the Great Race (Strangers Expansion Encounter)
You look back the way you came and become confused, your entire journey here blanking from your mind. Keep this card. You do not collect a Gate Trophy from closing this gate. Return this card to the box once the gate is closed.

[19:45] <+ErikoKirishima> Ah.

[19:45] <Soppy-AlexIsMotherHarlot> Yowch
[19:45] <@Yakumo> Guess I sit around and try again next turn.

Lodge Members Watch the Night!
Headline

All monsters in the French Hill streets or locations are returned to the cup.

A gate to the Abyss opens at the Unvisited Isle, sucking in Michael McGlen and spawning a Cthonian and a Ghoul. A clue appears at the Science Building.

Circle monsters move on White and Square and Diamond monsters move on Black, which does nothing.

Avoided the Dark Young, got punched in the face by a Cultist but then tricked him and ran away.  Will try closing the gate again this turn.  Also making slight slider modifications.

[01:50] * @Yakumo sighs. Guess it's time to put my fate in the hands of Hatbot. :\
[01:50] <@Yakumo> Assuming anyone's around to see it anyway.
[01:51] <+RandomConsonant> sure why not
[01:51] <@Yakumo> Alright.  My sneak is effectively six, but I'm at -2 and -3 for the checks.
[01:52] <@Yakumo> I'll do the Dark Young first, that's the -2. 
[01:53] <@Yakumo> 4d6 to not get impaled by monster goat things?
[01:53] * Hatbot --> "Yakumo rolls 4d6 to not get impaled by monster goat things? and gets 14." [4d6=3, 5, 1, 5]
[01:53] <@Yakumo> So far so good.
[01:53] <+RandomConsonant> Well Dark Young goes and cries in a corner.
[01:53] <@Yakumo> Cultist is at -3.
[01:53] <@Yakumo> 3d6 to dodge madmen?
[01:53] * Hatbot --> "Yakumo rolls 3d6 to dodge madmen? and gets 8." [3d6=1, 4, 3]
[01:53] <@Yakumo> Not so lucky, but it only does one damage.
[01:54] <@Yakumo> 3d6 to pull the old point behind him and run away trick?
[01:54] * Hatbot --> "Yakumo rolls 3d6 to pull the old point behind him and run away trick? and gets 13." [3d6=6, 1, 6]
[01:54] <@Yakumo> Not a very smart cultist I see.
[01:54] <+RandomConsonant> Cultists seldom are.

This is quite a stubborn gate, it seems.

[21:24] <@Keima> So... CLOSE THE GATE, Yaks
[21:25] <@Yakumo> Suppose I should do my roll now, yeah.
[21:25] <@Yakumo> 5 lore, -2 mod on the gate.
[21:25] <@Yakumo> 3d6 closing for real this time
[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Yakumo rolls 3d6 closing for real this time and gets 8." [3d6=3, 1, 4]
[21:25] <@Yakumo> ...or not.
[21:25] <@Keima> Ouch
[21:25] <@Yakumo> Welp.  I've got no clues, so nothing I can do about that.

Scientists don't believe in Luck, so Kate fails the check.

[22:45] <Bardiche> So, Fight check or some sneaky kid makes off with my cigarette case.
[22:45] <Bardiche> Anyone here to witness this tremendous display of failure?
[22:47] <+RandomConsonant> sure
[22:48] <Bardiche> Fantastic.
[22:48] <Bardiche> So 2 fight, -1 modifier. Need a success or I lose my $1 Lucky Cigarette Case.
[22:48] <Bardiche> d6 to prevent thievery!
[22:48] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls d6 to prevent thievery! and gets 1."12 [d6=1]
[22:49] <Bardiche> Apparently, Mr Anderson is terrible at catching slimey kids.
[22:49] <Bardiche> Let's see if the cat does any better.
[22:49] <Bardiche> d6 to exhaust Cham as he turns into Police Officer Cham!
[22:49] * Hatbot --> "Bardiche rolls d6 to exhaust Cham as he turns into Police Officer Cham! and gets 6."12 [d6=6]
[22:49] <Bardiche> Cham purrs at the student, which frightens him into not stealing my cigarette case.


So according to Hatbot I have terrible luck, but Cham is beast.

Gossip Runs Wild!
Headline

If the Dunwich Horror is in play, increase the terror level by 2. Investigators can trade Clue tokens like other Items until the end of next turn. Leave this card in play until then to show this.

A gate attempts to open at Wizard's Hill, causing a MONSTER SURGE! A Mummy spawns at the Woods, a Mi-Go at The Unnamable, a Maniac at the Graveyard, a Shoggoth at the Unvisted Isle, and a Naga (Strangers expansion monster) and a Formless Spawn at Wizard's Hill. A clue appears at the Gardener's Place.

Circle monsters move on White and Square and Diamond monsters move on Black, sending the Shoggoth all the way to the Miskatonic University Streets, but the Mi-Go stays put due to Vincent. (Ignore the map. Mistake)
