Arkham Horror Third Edition Playthrough | Optimal Play

[Music] hello and welcome to optimal play we're here on the spookiest moment of the year the middle of the afternoon on the Saturday before Halloween to get into the new iteration of the classic cooperative horror game Arkham Horror joining me on this investigation today are Rebecca Shane and Lindsay and we are going to dig in to the as a Thoth the approach of as a Thoth scenario as we were working together to stop as a Thoth the ancient evil from awakening and devouring all of Arkham and probably the rest of the world probably probably it's a safe bet we are each going to be playing one of the investigators of Arkham or the same ones you may know and love from other games Shane Yamato tell us about yours boy I'd love to I am Norman withers the astronomer the story so far Norman weathers was a scientist a rational man devoted to the reason exploration of the universe so when data showed that the universe was ending he calmly and reasonably examined the situation and checked his results there was no mistake six stars had simply vanished and something impossible was moving in the void although the scientific community dismissed his research as the ramblings of a crackpot Norman continued his studies approaching the problem with the same rationality he always had used so what if his studies were now a forgotten ancient lore and even magic he was still a rational man my primary role is a seeker an intrepid sleuth and a secondary role is a mystic which is adept at warding against evil and I will start with $1 a fine gate spell which will be useful for moving around the board and I'm choosing the precious memento item remove 2 horror from this card after I gain a clue and it basically acts as a store for horror damage Lindsay all right I am Dexter Drake so magic illusions have been a hobby for Dexter Drake from childhood and into the Great War as a boy he dreamed a real sorcery but vanishing coins in other stage magic was the closest he ever came until the old street magician had unleashed his curse since then Dexter has learned the truth real magic existed and it was more terrible than he could ever imagine but what was he to do except to learn as much about it as he possibly could find the trick the man behind the curtain the secret that made it all make sense except the curtain is reality and the great Drake is less and less certain that his secret is worth knowing obviously Drake is a mistake and I start with the myths of relay which allows me to test lore instead of observation if I'm motivating a monster and $2.00 and then I chose astral travel which allows me to test lore and move the number of successes that I have + 2 + 2 a couple districts Brandon the other important thing that dexter has is my focus limit is based on the number of spells that i have so i start off with to focus limit and that can increase through the game right Rebecca who are you I am Calvin rapes I'm the haunted the hardest thing Calvin has ever done was to walk away from G Wow who had been there making all the times before easy but he had no choice the vision Joe Wow burning to dust the world blasted by light the darkness within him Calvin couldn't let it take his beloved from him so he removed himself from the equation he struck a bargain he let the cult of the masked God think that they could control him and waited for the moment to strike back against the ancient evil that threatened the world it was a hard time but knowing that Zhu L was safe made it easier it wasn't that Calvin wasn't afraid he was but he knew what had to be done and that he was the one man who could do it primary role his guardian and I'm also a rogue that's dark yeah well I'm he's haunted no news I start off with a spirit dagger which enhances my attack and warding and I also have the Intel time where I can store up to two strengths and - or or and I have three dollars very nice that leaves me I'll be playing as Jenny Barnes although a great lever of wealth and comfort Jenny always had a curious and adventurous streak while she adored the fashion in society of Paris and Venice she was equally at home sport shooting in rural Scotland or trolling the jazz clubs of New Orleans she even funded an archeological dig of her own just for the fun of being the first one into the old tomb so when she learned that her sister Isabelle was missing Jenny came to Arkham to handle the matter herself I know right perhaps a life of wealth and power had made her overconfident or perhaps the rogues who taken her sister had made their last mistake so I am out for both to find my sister and get revenge on whoever took her which makes me a rogue generally I get a lot of money via my action spend it on cool things hopefully the ones I start with are Jenny's twin 45s which help me attack as you would think that guns would and can boost a die and I have a talent called my search for Izzi which lets me suffer damage and horror to re-roll in a number of dice I don't know how many times I can afford to do that in a game but we'll find out good to have either way yeah and then a a crucial test I'm sure will come in handy so Arkham Horror third edition plays out over a series of rounds will be taking actions each round enemies will move we will have encounters and finally there will be mythos effects we're playing a scenario which unlike the previous games is not just an ancient one who is slightly changing the rules of the game the scenario has a branching story that unfolds depending on how we do or decisions that we make and we don't even know how to win I even have only played this once before and did not live it so none of us know how to even I do not know how to win the scenario we will hopefully all find out together I'm so uh would you uh Lindsay would you start out with just the flavor text on approach mm uh of course at the center of infinity slumbers as a thaw lulled to sleep and the ceaseless piping of a cursed flutes yet some mortals would seek to draw the infinite power and calamity of the blind idiot God to them thereby doom all of humanity that means under this one we start at the train station mm-hmm we're all there and she read the reckoning let's say that for the first reckoning okay some humans are not very smart why would you want to would you want to summon the blind idiot god yeah you think there are way better because you can try to sell it I like the blind idiot God it feels very apt right now yeah all right yeah I think we can all agree with you there okay özil thoughts scenario does instruct us to start with two codex cards in play that set some of the baseline rules and goals the first one is called anomalies people walk with their heads down shoulders hunched with each new oddity it becomes harder to pretend that nothing is wrong with the vanishings strange lights the sightings of inhuman creatures they are not something that can be ignored at least not for long this sets the rules for how doom in anomalies are going to work when a space on the board has three doom in it we're putting these doom tokens directly on to the spaces on the board in in this game when a space has three doom or a neighborhood has five doom it's going to open an anomaly in that neighborhood and then any more doom that would get placed in that neighborhood goes on to this scenario cheat instead we have anomaly encounters while we're in a neighborhood with an anomaly instead of normal in neighborhood encounters and then finally when a neighborhood has zero do minute that's what ends the anomaly and we'll remove the nomally token from the board so that's what that card lays out then we have deja vu the day dawns the color of hammered led with a stillness and chill that settles over the gabled roofs of our command lingers as you go through your morning routine you cannot shake the feeling of having done this before the same breakfast the same headlines in the newspaper warning of disappearances and odd goings-on and a note in your handwriting reading the Dame insulting approaches meet at the train station it tells us when there are three or more clues on the scenario sheet add card for to the Codex we don't know what card for does but since we get there by successfully accumulating clues it's probably a good thing for us and then it says when there's three or more doom on the scenario she flip this card which same we don't know what it will do but if it involves doom piling up it's probably bad and that brings us to our turns everyone's gonna get two actions from a list we all have a little reference card that you'll probably see us looking at a lot because we're all new to this game we get to take two actions each in any order we like and they can't be the same action tortoise any thoughts well my guys got lore so there's a lot of doom that's out there to be taken so I might move over towards the unvisited Isle and try to get the lore there and the doom there and maybe pick up the clue since I can move there and do that that would be my two turns right when you're in a neighborhood with a clue in it you have a chance of getting close your encounters right oh yeah so that's okay with everybody else love it yes so movement I can move up to two for one action and then my other action is gonna be Ward where I test my Lord remove of doom equal to the test results so I only need one yeah this time edition you are I'm a good wine and that's okay my turn flip your token two marks that your turn is done ah what are you guys thinking I've got a lot going on over there I'm going I think to stay and listen one has a problem with it I will boost mile or by using the focus and then we'll try to ward this existing doom away if everyone's on board with that love it go for it excellent which bringing into for war is one a whole lot of force all right well that's a good thing there's a lot of other people near space you can play for token over since you taking your turn right right okay I am pretty lousy at warding that uses Laura and I have one so I'll leave that to you magicians and astronomers I was gonna say scientists that I was like why scientists casting spells the whole thing I mean that's what Shane does in his free time anyway it's true the founders love to cast spells I just realized what you're playing Norman yep Shane is an astronomer in real life in real life okay I'm one of our better fighters so why don't I go ahead and try to take out this cultists that started on the board there's a robed figure I'm going to move the move action lets you move two spaces and you can spend up to two more dollars to move up to two spaces further I'll spend one since I started with five rich which like it so much easier when you're rich ain't that the truth so I'll engage this robed figure since it's now in my space I attack it as my second action by testing strengths my twin 45s give me an additional three so I'm really six dice and I just need to do one damage to the rope figure to kill it not even close oh my god has this ability that says I can add one to a dive result so even if it there was a four I could bump it up to a five which should be a success but these are all three so uh you could use your service Lizzie you could suffer one day internet or two reroll any number of dice there's that worth it though it's so early for that you know what sure oh maybe I'll make my way over to like the diner where I can heal and stuff in the future oh yeah so yeah if you would um throw one damage in one horror we can just go ahead and put it on my search for Izzi card since I can hold two in two thanks full Audrey roll all right well one success you got a falconer got a fork I can bump it to a five by using my lens 45s that that was pretty bad that better not be on me to start a trend now you're getting it all out now you're gonna do fine yeah that's that's how my words again I'm giving you a hard time saying that when I was saying it was gonna be a trend all right the room figure is off the board let's never speak of it again well there's another Warren Zevon right there is but it's not my problem my turns done okay so I'm gonna move over here to try and get this guy all right to whatever is ur Arkham advertiser Rebecca do you want to stay on that and try to just deal with this that way you can have a focus instead of moving mm-hmm well whatever what are you gonna do on your next turn what my next turn I can get I can move probably on my next move I'm gonna use my fine gate spell which allows me to move to a space of my choice with water morning and then I'll stay here and then soak and then I'll think this one that one the next yeah okay then I go for my move I'm gonna stay where I am and I'm going to focus to increase my lure and then I'm going to try and ward and I have three from my skill plus the one lures plus two from my spirit dagger card oh yeah you know what I think it went great yeah it always happens this game you've got a handful of this sweets okay that's it that's everyone's turn the next thing that happens is the monster phase we do have one monster on the board the other roped figure and we follow its movement instructions yeah so it moves towards the unstable space which we look at the top card of the event discard pile at a train station no no the discard pile right here okay yeah oh that so that unstable one is the one that has the doom on it correct okay so towards the trace so great best route to the translation it could go one of two ways but let's keep it away from Dexter since I hear you're not have a good fighter I am NOT a good fighter okay so it'll swing up for the La Bella Luna does it I don't think that that is the closest way though cuz this way it's one two three four and this is one two three four five you're absolutely right so I think I have to deal with it oh so you have found a robed figure fun outer space it because I've entered your space during the monster phrase it does attack you right now it's just going to do one damage if there's no damage there you could be where co5 help could be better and I can help out and take on help that's her abilities you can take your damage from you yeah which would be great thank you probably won't come in handy yes okay that was the only monster so now we move on to the encounter phase with a little different in this one from previous iterations of this franchises that we can take our encounters in any order we'd like I don't find that it matters all that often it does sometimes yeah why don't we just start with Shane we'll see how much how successful you can be getting some of these clues it is a clue one where are you guys at the train station yes I got your message says a stranger and came as soon as I could you gained one Ally you chat with your new friend to learn more test influenced I'm gonna get my ally first because it may influence my and I hope it is because I have one influence the ally deck is that blue decks in the top card of that car Zora Larson Ally secretary action an investigator or ally in your space recovers one sanity you are an investigator in your space Oh deep ok I want put some reminder text on there yeah so I can knock out insanity so that's that's nice it's pretty idiot-proof oh okay oh yeah one day oh my one guy that's not gonna do it no but nothing happens to you so gonna be worried could be worse so got an ally you did not get the clue though correct okay so we're gonna shuffle that clue encounter back in the top three cards the deck so there may be another opportunity okay Rebecca you're at the train station also not a not a clue encounter this time you pinks in front of the ticketing window the exhausted looking ticketing agent tells you something about bad weather and a derailment on the Boston Arkham line you may become delayed to keep waiting for your acquaintances train to arrive delayed means that you are opting so you're choosing become delayed you would get only one action next round if you want to wait for your acquaintances train to arrive I am NOT patient so I will not wait I mean but your next round oh because I am you have to move and that's true okay fair enough um nothing bad happens if you don't stick around which i think is always a win in this game nothing bad anytime nothing bad happens yeah you're pretty okay give me Independence Square please all right Jenny yes independence where a flea market has sprung up filling the square with happy voices and colorful wares you browse the stalls and something of a daze hoping to take your mind off the terrible things you have seen you may buy any number of common items from the display mm-hmm and you're rich I am I am rich I mean I've got four bucks yes there's several common items here the Lucky cigarette case is too rich for my blood so is the shotgun I actually only have one option the 41 derringer umm you already have a yeah it's frankly redundant with the guns I already have so know as much as I'd love to throw some money around I don't think I'm gonna take anything here and neither of us you have a way weapon but we don't but I have a hard time imagining us it would be worth trading with you at some point and having us cuz I don't think we're really gonna fight very often well I might fight more if we had a weapon I mean that could all the weapon does though is it lets you add one it melts you bump before to a five on an attack role it's not a it's not an extra die not a particular it's no extra dice it's not a particularly good so I think I'll pass I'll save my money there are we better stuff later all right you guys sit back up or I'll protective clothing so Lindsey you actually don't get an encounter because you have the robe figure engage with you you can't just where are you yeah you got definitely can't explore the visited I'll with round figure stalking you well bummer you got a deal with that alright so it's just fighting right it attacks you know so in this game you don't fight during the encounter phase that's an action so I just don't get to do anything just nothing happens for you about this wow that's a huge bug okay what you're talking over the mark that you had your turn okay last days I'm gonna reach across and grab this bag where instead of having a myth up scarred like some of the previous games have that we would draw and resolve all all four of us are one of the time were going to draw two tokens out of this bag and see what they do right off the bat we get a reckoning so there are a bunch of these highlighted reckoning effects on some of our cards and they're all going to trigger so let's start with anything that anyone has I know you have one record I have removed one damage and one horror from this card but I don't have any on there so good what a question does it matter the order that we do it in like it doesn't that's why it doesn't it's completely our choice in this game so what does as possible so here's my question it says for each coldest monster place one doom in its space if it's in a street space place the doom in the adjacent neighborhood spaces then since I am now engaged does it count as being on a space it does let's go in your space so we will put a do not go okay my next token is a clue so we will spawn one clue we're gonna take the top card of that event deck what neighbors down we can spawn one clue downtown and we're going to take that card and shuffle it into the top three cards of the downtown deck so it will become an opportunity to get a clue sometime soon shame Europe nobody you only have one dollar money nope oh boy oh but the best thing you can draw you like but I mean since we all draw it like somebody somebody is gonna get something bad yeah you found something bad cool I did it this is a deep burst icon we're going to take the top card of the event deck top card top card and whatever is Rivertown is gonna get a doom in all three of its space hey all right and then you're going to take it's just a two card discard pile you're gonna shuffle those and put them on the bottom of that event deck this could be worse this means there's two dooms at black cave so I think I'm gonna send my astronomer there get ahead of yourself Shane you're gonna wait look on the bright side at this point stormy all right I got the news oh yeah read us a headline break in had a Historical Society criminals wore robes masks several artifacts stolen gang of occult minded thugs could be anywhere by mini Cline a staff writer in our Kumasi chooses headline I suffered two damage and two unless I place one doom on my space hmm I think I should you gonna choose the doom you could it'll add a second one then yeah the bowl next time yeah flea I like it good good night it's doom is I only roll once right that is right okay oh that's bad that is Spana do is to take the bottom card of the deck North Side north side is going to get a doom with that in the train station of the train station okay wait I was gonna be in my space which would have been bed it would have been so similar to pandemic the same locations come up over and over again because we just put them on the bottom that makes a monster appear so we're gonna take the bottom card of this monster deck since the double-sided cards we found a swift be aa key which is a skeletal winged creature that you probably don't want to meet it spawns where the most doom is we have a couple options we can either put it you sure you don't what are you got a lot going on right now okay I'll go see what I can do about this so we'll put it at the black cave you can go handle it yeah I was gonna go there to deal with that doom but ya don't know before we strategize too much one more token you got big city burglars busting gang a thieves robbed rich gave two selves accomplices believed to be an Arkham nothing like that here says cops by a Wong Associated Press Boston Massachusetts for each item you have you suffer one damage unless you discard that item how many items do you have these two so it's actually only gonna be cards that say one item so just one I'll take it yeah don't discard that that was yeah no I don't want to and your you have the option of putting that on your until the end of time which would then eventually go away I will do that cool cool okay we're back to the top of the round with our actions again now that we've all drawn to tokens if I could make a suggestion if Jenny could go kill the Scout the Swift iake then I could teleport there and try to deal with this doom but I can't deal with a doom as long as that Monster is there I think that's a pretty good idea I'm fine with that nice I'll go first again I'm going to have to spend a dollar to move one further one two three - the black cave where are the B Aki waits for me how bad is that we never really ain't checked yeah it's pretty bad um three hit points and it has a minus two evading it negative modifier on Franco made it so I I'm gonna go ahead and attack it rolling my six dice thanks to my twin 45 one success and you've got a four that you can number I keep doing yeah I can only do it once hmm um I want to just take this out so I'm gonna use my power to take a damage in a horror if you can hand them to me please and reroll the rest of these actually I'll keep before no I'm gonna I'm gonna roll a five the ones that did not succeed I'm sorry it's my search for easy card once per round while resolving a test you may suffer one damage in one horror career or any number of this and no you can put them on Jenny anymore on my stories he would destroy anything there we go two more successes Swift be Aki is gone alright so it has an icon on it that says I get a remnants excellent I get I keep a wing for later okay see ya hungry and it this one also says reward after you defeat this monster as a part of an attack action you may disengage all monsters and move up to three spaces so I get a free movement somewhere else so I think I'll take take advantage of it because I don't have any reason to be at the black cave you said you wanted to go to Velma's diner anyway yeah eventually but I think I might head back up to downtown where I can try to get that clue makes sense yeah so I'm gonna actually just move back to where I started with this excellent well thank you Jenny anytime Norman as a question when you engage that monster that monster went over to your character sheet well if you had not killed the monster and I had ventured over to this spot with the monster then switched to me or could I have still done my ward action and not dealt with the monster you could have gone and not dealt with the monster okay it would still be my problem you could if you wanted to use an attack action you could take it from me and then attack it all as part of that one action but yeah I probably you would have just come in and let me get eaten alive while you just cast some little spells happy to do that alright once you go that light to go so I will use my find gate ritual and that allows me to test lore of which I have four thanks to my focus and if I pass I can move to a space of my choice with two or more do one arm excuse me one or more tomb and I'm gonna go to the black cave I'd like to try to hear it both these doom because if I do get rid of both of them who I have to actually pass yeah why don't you go ahead in the road okay whatever all right it'll be good if I am able to move and they believe it pass success all right and now I will don't forget they in Bihar yeah in this game spells deal horror to correct I will take my two horror and thankfully I have seven or capacity can these not take horror to you scan she can't yeah that's true my precious memento alright big money to one one success okay nothing you can do about that better than nothing alright well I get rid of one so that's good and gets a little bit prevents us from making a little progress prevents us from making a little progress prevents the doom from getting to five which would be bad because they start putting doom on it has a long yeah that's true so I have to fight this thing right that's one of my required action uh so all that you can do while you have a monster is fight evade or focus you could evade but evading and fighting are kind of equivalent yeah by me so I'm gonna just gotta fight it all right you got this one successful do it yeah I got a success literally one success rogue figures a goner okay so now I am going to try to ward oh and I got two successes so I get rid of both of those nice to do out of the aisle and when you get at least two doom in a word you take around it alright that was a good turn for me that's a lot better than chains turn yeah that was okay Rebecca girl so I'm going to stay where I am and try to ward off I've got time six award and I succeed twice which doesn't really matter mine is the one you could get money how much what's your focus limit um - I could focus on nothing else I'm not I'm not sure what I want to focus on at this point yeah that's why I'm not sure where my weaknesses are it's always fine to get a focus because you can also spend it for a reroll so you know if you're not sure where you can focus strength right okay a monster face doesn't even have any monsters no monsters we're so strong peaceful light okay encounter phase who wants to go first I'll go first all right Rebecca would you read where I'm in the unvisited I know your flashlight picks out faded carvings on one of the tall standing stones lore all right people I have one yes if you pass you sense residual arcane energy from some foul ritual you gain one remnant what a remnant cheese for they are used for two things encounter scan to let you spend them for effects or sell them for money or that kind of thing and actually this is relevant to you guys as the illusionists sticks thank you when you cast spells the normally a deal you you can spend remnants instead of taking over give me a Independence Square well okay there's no clue you follow the sounds of music and children laughing to the bandstand but no one is there test we'll all right all ones I fail all right if you fail you find a only a small rusted toy cornet of the type you play with as a child you suffer one for the workplace I don't know what happened with that coordinate as when you were a child but good know dredging up some harsh memories therapy time my aura is adding up fast I got to stop using my search for a Z for a while I think yeah okay um Shane where are you you're in the black cave servers the rocks around the passageway like a toothy MA you steal yourself to enter tests we'll all right there you go couple successes if you pass you discover wax and chalk markings that suggest a ritual was held here to find something that was left behind you gain one curio item all right so your choice of these ones in the display which is four of them and one of them is worth or is this one where you can flip the top yeah so if he doesn't want any of those four he could just choose what to choose to get whatever random card comes up first from the deck all right my lucky cigarette case would allow me to add one to the result of one die when resolving a test and you guys think I agree sounds classic five yeah no one else is ever gonna get that you're almost always safe just looking at like what's the most expensive probably that's the best nice paint killers are out there they're cheap problem with this country I'm at the train station you are there's a clue here I got your message this is a stranger and came as soon as I could you gained one Ally go ahead and draw the top blue card okay you chat with their new friends to learn more test her influence that's right we did this one with you I got your well Jenica capra Ally mystic bounty hunter that's quite a treat bounty hunter I like it I've got three influence there you go you recognize the handwriting on their note as your own dated in the future you gained one clue from your neighborhood yay all right that's a that's our first clue right all right job team so we don't have that progress towards our three clue goal yet until she manages to use a research action to place it from her possession onto the scenario so it's a multi-step process that's everyone's encounters I think so all right it's mixed I know isn't it yep okay a monster would take a look at that for me abyssal servant-monster night got spawn at Street nearest to pray and he is a hunter moved toward an engage investigator with most clue sexy Rebekah baby sisters on the street that rate it's not actually on your space so right in the street nearest her so this would be one of these two yeah why don't you put it here where I can just keep I be in the finder yeah okay it is kind of funny that a rich white lady is our strong suit my turn it's nice that to goodness I mean I do know what he thought begins rich white lady I have six fighting skills but I don't have any fun like added yet my roles I could definitely use some more bonuses some of these we're getting some tough monsters I've got six dice it's like I don't want to keep using my rerolls because they hurt me every time yeah if you focus any goo my second token is to spawn a clue the top card of that event deck is what neighborhood whoever town all right sweet and I'll shuffle that in while Shane draws two tokens I love to you on a town flip it over and look at which specific location black cave oh okay more mana due north Norman I will and another view yeah he's town Hibbs Roadhouse okay way over in the outskirts okay and if I remember correctly I'm gonna have two blanks oh no Johnny yeah man well they all go back in now they all go back in the back you got a fresh bag headline here you go starstruck scientists dumped MU Observatory findings baffling stars not where they should be astrologers have the answer is it a global issue by me me client staff writer Arkham Massachusetts for each spell you have you suffer one horror unless you discard that spell oh I have no spells good draw yeah that glad they didn't go to one of our mystics and one more token still right yep nope a blank slate you alright okay okay that was all the mythos so actions I'm thinking I'll go first again and grab the abyssal servants it's a great idea so this one's rough it has four hit points it does two horror if we don't kill it to the president's engaged with and it has a minus one to strength I kind of thing we need to work together on this oh okay how does that work if it's only engaging oh do you start so like I can move in first it will engage me I can attack it and then on her turn she could move in and as part of the attack action you can engage a monster from someone else my word for you is you're already at you only have five or so correct and I have three sanity left so it's only it's just um so in the monster face it will damage whoever it's engaged with so if I go first then she takes it off of me if we're both fail Rebecca will take the order right it in fact what it does one damage to or that's exactly what you can put on your until the end of time then I'll hope for a reckoning I mean we're doing the first time anyone's ever said it does good things for me okay so yes I will move in and gauge the abyssal servant and I'm going to attack it I get I use my guns but I get minus one from its modifier so five dice two successes so two damage to it all right he's a couple these hard tokens pardon my reach and that's my whole turn I moved in attacks would you like to go no you want me to go next so I will move over and engage it from you so it becomes your problem she said it takes away one of my strengths it's good thing you focused yeah so I got three or four from the my card and then plus two but I'll only take one right from my spear attackers oh no nothing that's a bummer so you can spend those focuses for rerolls but since you wouldn't need to to finish it off late seems like a waste operator up so I won't have to take wait until the monster face ok let's go ahead and you can flip your token your turns done and these two still have turns okay why don't you go first because then if you don't get those two doom I'll come in and I'll try to get those to you okay I'm gonna let's see start out and you said we only have one boost for a given one focus per unit rate yes for each skill can just have one focus all right so I'm gonna try to ward nothing oh wow nothing okay that hurts okay what's that Lidia that leaves me too I'll just I guess I'll stay and I'll focus to boost observation cool if you find yourself with a clue someday I'll help you research all right I'm gonna move what isn't it hang out with Shane you would and then I am also going to try to take care of these two just do it better I did three matter do I get anything for my extra one you know nothing for the extra success but you get a remnant for taking up to do all right all my own is I'm almost like an octopus yes sir testing some spells over there I know like an octopus if you're buying furtive an octopus I'm closer than you are all right flip your token and that's all of our actions so now it's a monster phase that is when the abyssal servant is going to do one damage and to horror to you okay well I was gonna put them on my until the end of time card does it not great it has special text on it saying it doesn't work okay it can't be discarded by any means yeah yes oh yeah it all worked out in the end the night-gaunts is just slashing her [Music] shrug it off in counter phase so Rebecca you don't get an encounter unfortunately because you have a monster on you so you can go ahead and flip your token Shane would you like to read me mine I am at a street so I'm on a scenic Street so bring me the scenic road encounter all right something has been carved into the bark of a tree test or all right rolling one die here about if you pass you recognize the proud tech-noir declaration of youthful love some twenty years gone by in the scars of the tree bark you are an ally recovers to sanity yes that is perfect to work I like that he gave you the monster and I like to damages but still that was a nice walk in the park okay the black cave it's a clue you follow the sound of footsteps into the cavern and then hear footsteps behind you tests will pass if you pass you duck into the shadow and watch yourself pass by you gain one clue from your neighborhood yes sweets but whether you pass or not there's something written here on the wall you may become delayed to gain one spell delayed means you are only going to have one action next action phase but you'll get a spell I like spells got a lot more met expelled okay it is purple deck hello fine Kate damn it I already have a fine gate I'll on your turn if you wanted to you could take this from me as I tell you to actually let's see I might get one now - okay Lindsey your turn ari I'm in the black cave okay black cave you trace your fingers along the pictographs on the cave wall lore okay mate for pass three I'm serving at rolling dice save some for next time um if you pass fragments of a secret history blossom like a garden in your brain you gain one spell all right green garden I love my rain garden almost as good as a beer garden Jamie to read it oh yeah blinding choose one monster on any space and test lore using that month stirs evade modifier if you pass exhaust the monster it disengages oh wow on any space yeah cool what does that mean that it disengages so then it's just back on the board uh yes yeah sweet alright mythos okay Lindsey you need to start focusing I know I'm gonna improve my lure next time I think I was just gonna say I want to draw some blinks and there it is and a monster appears we're getting all all tough ones another night gone to the eyeless watcher it spawns the unstable space which is the marked space on that top card of the black cave okay great good great how does that work if there's two of us there Oh any fighters there it is going to engage its prey which is the person with the lowest influence that would be me all right now I mean you've got an icon fine luckily I have or observation so I'm gonna try to invade this guy I think it's sweet but first mythos diverse all right spawn of doom downtown on Independence Square all right yeah and the monster yuck Jane it was gonna come no matter what the Tim bellows alpha spawns where the most doom is which is independent square yeah so this one actually has no speed whenever it moves it moves directly to its prey and that is the person with the highest observation who is that right now also shamed Oh does it move right now or is it now in months no in the monster face but we should be aware that that's gonna happen will happen and it will due to damage into horror well that would be so good for me yeah it has oh I did gain a clue yeah all right like something burned you oh the Alpha has elite one which means it gets an extra health per investigator much but it has two and that an elite one makes it six oh yeah one monster at a time we'll see what we can do let's just get through enough draw better than he did okay Blanc how's that perfect I get that reckoning o reckoning okay oh there's no coldest right there are zero cultists no one's enemy is a cold test cool so you just get to play all right umm I get to remove one damage in one horror from until the end of time nice excellent spotted little clue looks like it's in the merchant district district an Adu river town on the graveyard okay way over here all right that was a little rough so just reading a little bit more closely at the nightgown that is coming after me it says he is a watcher this monster does not restrict your actions or encounters it moves with you oh you know I have to cite it yes it just as one damage to my there just does what one horror right yeah I may just move around for a little bit and hopefully trying to run into you I don't yeah if you move towards us one of us could probably help with it my worry is that then you're gonna have two monsters oh yeah if you go she goes down so I can strand Kelvin with the night-gaunts and I can run over and engage the alpha you know it's going to hurt me but at least I healed up my sanity last turn so that would be fine and then you could swing over maybe here where the clues are to try to gain more clues and that's kind of close to where we can eventually make our way down to you I if I do this if I get it clear if I get both of these that I'm able to take one or two spend my clue on as a thought to research a clue but yeah that's right so it seems like that might be worthwhile although okay I can move over and try to get those two clues you're gonna move if you're gonna move would you like to take this fine gate spell first yeah that's how you trade so then I'll trade and then move yeah you want the money one sure all right oh I was gonna focus but oh well okay um then I will move and try to ward all right come on Shane you got Norman hey one success and I do in my lucky cigarette case once per round you may add one to the result of one die when resolving attest so this becomes a five nice it's two successes shouldn't I get rid of both of these and I get all right this is and I can take one horror which I will in order to research one clue BAM here you go finally a successful round for normal do you want to put that on your own window uh yes good call I will put that on in town all right Norman finally pulled his weight okay that leaves us we are knee-deep in monsters you want me to go first yeah we can see how that goes yeah that sounds good okay one two three three that battle for now we kill this guy all right so because it has that icon in the corner you get a remnant I don't take a remnant and that's it okay sweets and then where should I go should I try in yes you might as well go somewhere where you have a chance of getting a clue okay I'll take this steamin yeah yeah or do you want to try to research your clue you already have one what's your research patient observation observation I've got three researching works like wards where you roll once and you get to research a clue per success so actually if she waits until she has two Clues she's locked she's likely to yeah all right that leaves me to take care of the $10 alpha huh yep Oh should I have gone no it's it's fine I got this it just has six hit points - two - strength the end observation well that's us with a twist - the creature vanishes into a single point with a crack it appears again right behind you yeah all right my second action will be to attack it so it's minus 2 means that after my guns I have 4 nice so it's not gonna die here 1 success and my twin 45s can bump a success or bump before to a success so that's - yeah I'll take it that is the last of our actions yeah ok so enemy phase happens I have an enemy it's gonna do two damage and two horror if you could hand me those please yes all right there one order to me to my precious memento next round you want me to take one action I can take something off of you oh yeah that would be great I can take any amount of health or sanity from another investigator or ally no matter to spoil a space that sounds awesome you could also go over there and try that oh ok you took your more I should my work then it is the encounter face let's start with shame shame shame shot going on there's no clues nothing no just alright this is a graveyard miss chillin I hope a tests will not strength well you can't get the rats trying to uncover what a horrid swarm is so interested in test strength why failed when I had a lot of dice so maybe also see if I have do you guys nope I don't if you fail the rats bite and not your legs you suffer one damage Wow [Music] good chance of you finding a clue Lindsey and virgin district right now let's go you lose your way among the trees and try to remember how you got there will good even me guys or not and you don't have any focuses for every role or anything bummer what happens um it doesn't say anything if you fail okay so just be worse okay this is you bad oh there's gotta be a recycle then yes since it was a clue alright and while you shuffle those let me find your Arkham advertiser encounter mini Cline is another clue it's not the clue mini client a spirited reporter leans closer conspiratorial II got a isit for me come on friend let it slip you may spend one clue or one remnant to tell her about your findings she asks you many clarifying questions and makes sure you're willing to bring her more you gain three dollars okay money yeah you are wealthy gonna find something to spend this on six whole dollars I mean in this Danny and that's pretty good okay and no one counter for me since I've got the Alpha on me okay those days Miha space we're due for interest a clue spawns in Northside okay over there shuffling it into the top if you could and I got a headline asylum overflowing oh no new patients describe sense of dread hallucinations doctors releasing some nonviolent patients early you suffer one horror for each doom in your space oh wow okay I take two words yeah that runs me down to one remaining sanity you better kill this thing then yeah and hopefully you can help yeah take some of those off my hands all right on the graveyard no that's convenient that's where Norman's hanging out there's the gate burst okay top card of the deck first is east towne oh we're gonna have an anomaly in East town okay so the gate verse means a doom goes on each location and then because we now have five doom in East town there's an anomaly so any future doom in East town is going to spill over onto the approach of a lot which is not ideal yeah yeah oh we still have a full right like two more people they go really do it could happen right now Ron blanks fresh new bag links are in there I'll do mine that's good I can clear that out and there are still no cultists 4 has enough to Von Doom that's good the Iowas watcher is not a cultist ok and a headline enjoy good luck it's curtains for arkham longest-running art completos closes final play the king and yellow boffo mysterious goings on a theater by Rex Murphy a staff writer in Arkham Massachusetts I suffer 3 unless I place 2 doom on my space that's a good idea for where I am I'm good at doom so I can just take care of them yeah I'm ok with that ok concur I also have a lot I can deal with the horror and then I can't then maybe I can move nothing funny there's two clues on you kind what you kind of want to stay there on this two clues you do have to find gate yes true I'm gonna go to this one anyway I want to spend my dollar and go there ok ok ok let's go home with those spawn alright downtown and monster we actually did not draw a doom that time which is amazing that's good that is amazing with less amazing is that we got a ravenous predator why are these all terrible seriously there are plenty of light little cultists in there these are not them it spawns at the unstable space we don't have one because we just shuffle the discard pile on the gate versus so it's the starting space which is the train station and it's going to in the in the monster face that's going to move direct all the way to and engage the person with the lowest willpower that's me three hit points another one and 103 you're a lot stronger than I am it's not as bad a monster as someone once we faced it does one damage in one horror and every hit points so okay not the end the world not great well again that's how these games work as long at the end of the world it's yeah that's literally the whole goal is not the end of the world putting out fires alright action phase well I just go and yeah work on my monster okay I'm going to attack it it's just four dice because of the minus bonfire let's hope for success oh okay well for my second action I will attempt to evade it it's at a minus two so I'm gonna be ruling the minimum of one die for my observation we'll see what happens and I failed okay that was that was it for me uh Rebecca do you want to go and heal him oh yeah exchange damage she doesn't have to go anywhere her powers are from anyway Oh anywhere so I would at least take some of this salmon I was gonna say give me two of each I can put them on this card sounds good to me thank you unless you want me to take anymore actually yeah if you want to think cuz I can take anyway um I let me give you one more I can fix up on this one too I think great Oh true yeah you want to put one on Jenica yeah sounds good thank you I feel much more thing you're welcome and then I guess I shouldn't try to ward off this similar yeah sounds good okay I got you oh the monsters gonna get you monster face I got strength I can do mine I think what I'm gonna do is in focus and increase my lure finally sounds good I'm sorry wet floor huh and then I need five and I'm gonna try to get rid of both of those one just one but I'm gonna use my magical gift and reroll don't want to reroll all of them or do I just want to reel one of them it's one or all yeah once per round I can only roll one or I can roll all that's interesting when you have one success out of five dice it's not an easy decision I don't know the answer to that I would say just roll one Rebecca what's your vote Brandon I think I didn't really make it so one that's okay told you you should every roll of one of them huh great one that's okay one day one but there still means probably no anomaly okay I'm gonna move and less than my dollar to move to both of these involves spending money so oh it doesn't matter I'm gonna encounter the anomaly and you are one two three alright alright then I will use other than I will try Ward using my for lure and yeah alright someone's gotta succeed at something around here 6y1 success and I can reroll right if I guess if you spend a focus yeah I'll read all spend my observation focused sir to do that okay all right okay it's progress everyone's done it right then okay monster face so my I wound up ten deloused endless alpha is going to do another two and two to me thank you and I get hit for one oh yes the eyeless watcher does one horror - James aura and the ravenous predator is going to move all the way to the person with the lowest willpower which is and it will engage you and do it's one damage one horror to you okay alright monsters are out of control do is out of control and clues I'm not doing great it's going so good we got a lot of people on clue spaces so but you guys can't encounter no with monsters we're not gonna have encounter so all right Shane you want to go first yeah so I'm gonna get a yes you were going to read him an encounter based on the one dumont space I'm just on his face yes okay you dream on library orbiting some distant world on the highest shelf is the book of your life test lore alright take a good read you cannot resist reading how your story ends you suffer one horror all right racking them up okay Lindsay what's yours I'm on the same space I've been basically this visited I flew you lose your way among the trees and try to remember how you got here test your will well all of them would have been bad unless it's a horror influence trip wait to do about that I can oh no I already did what once per round damn it um you could spend a focus for re-roll yeah and what that clue yes what happens if you pass retracing your steps causes you to flow backward and you get something you thought you had lost long ago you gain one curio item and one clue from your neighborhood nice alright here are the curios that are available so I get plus two observation as part of a research action what was that - research what was that the occult Scripture okay Rebecca Rebecca and I don't have encounters because we both have monsters on us so want mom straight to the mythos do we have three clues among us now we do we do so at least if we can research those we can move forward all right I got a blank and a blank aha second which means that there's no more likes right yeah it's still a clue I think it would have been better to get planks on yours than a place that already has four monsters gone all right it is a high priest it is a cultist it spawns where the most doom is so it's either with me or in the diner um and it's a lurker meaning it's not going to move at all every round it says place one doom in this space so we don't want to put it over they don't Liz okay we're just gonna put an anomaly there which leads me um that's two in a row uh I would rather start a new anomaly then put doom where one already is I think can we get the clues if there's something No so but I'm not getting them as long as I'm fighting anyway I don't know having two anomaly seems even worse because then there's two locations where you can't do anything that's how I feel and I wish it limited to one hmm okay yeah all right you guys are calling for me not to fight the high priest gladly all right are you doing it their spawn a you the graveyard everything's going wrong get my headline Road common approaches comet never before and detected by science will pass within 1 million miles of Earth absolutely no dangers as mu professor by Rex Murphy staff writer ARCA Massachusetts add this card to the Codex and discard all other rumor headlines when there's three doom on this card resolve a gate burst mythos effect then discard this card and on a reckoning any investigator may spend one clue to discard this card so actually that's not bad one clue to get rid of it right it's a step backwards on how close but probably worth it Cleo said that goes in East town nope can't go any stay it can still go in his town it's just not possible frosting yeah because we're not a graveyard again so that's another oh that's that's an anomaly in River town oh three doom in one space okay team link other words one left in the bag huh last count all right okay so action phase I'll go first and hopefully finish off the alpha finally over here yes okay I'm sick of that thing yes you're telling me alright or dice you know what I can focus first I think I will I want to focus strength you got five days it's gonna make the difference I'm telling you to three successes all right it didn't make a difference all I needed was two but it's dead all right yeah I get a remnants you earned it I sure did all right so here's my question for the table mm-hmm I can either stay where I am and try to get that clue or I can transport over here and try to deal with this anomaly I guess it's are we being defensive or should we be offensive my thinking is that if Rebecca can kill her monster she's so likely to get a clue that seems a little unlikely because I have five roles to get the real damage and I don't have anything to trade in that's true so how does it work with the anomaly as any additional doom goes here as opposed to filling it up yes so it's pretty bad um I think clearing the anomalies takes precedence especially because we have two people already you with stacks of clues okay all right I'm gonna use my find a gate ritual and test lure turn back down to four move over here and then I'm gonna test Laura again to try to ward don't forget from your spell to either take horror or spend remnants oh yes I can Els better on that okay Oh to to run then see remnants actually I'll take the horror I can take seven horror I don't know why I'm avoiding it so much two more okay yeah you're good that's not bad sweet not at all then if I get you I get around there right yeah you do you heard halfway to be an octopus no I I'm only two away from being a squid it's great to have six tentacles that's a big ones right and they have to like super long things I thought they'd have yeah I thought they just have a lot soon no they've like six tentacles in like two super long tentacles this is a really important yeah we've been thinking of jellyfish I don't know what rain is your turn all right um so I can word this or I could go an attack my monster or I could go here but then I like to do is if they'd that right because I couldn't try to ward that away yes and if you do move in a Nevada then it will not place doom but if a place is doom and I'll go here yes because of the anomaly mmm what do you guys think I think I like the idea of moving and trying to evade it yeah cuz it's gonna Oh so here's the one thing oh you'll be engaged with two monsters because you're is watcher and you'll evade with you'll apply the worse the modifier so it's gonna be - - to your observation and always they only evade one of them you have being 1 1 / success but I might not the only lonely one you'll be rolling one high oh then all right then I will try to ward this way and maybe attack the monster I like that alright so I you could always leave the doom and focus strengthen that attack your water I'm gonna do that with history merit will attack this monster I may be able to do it it's possible not impossible well wasn't possible no successes that's your turn alright who's left okay i won start off by fighting my mobster all right these monsters and he has so five dice things arriving this pressure need to get three I got two two's not bad he's not too bad and you could reroll if you wanted to if you want to you can spend the focus to re-roll oh yeah get rid of your lure considering its there would be the difference between killing it not yeah okay what rule one lap yeah ah so close okay and then you can focus think you have you know focus again then give my lower back because there's not really anything else to do you can evade it if they did if you succeeded evading it it won't damage you and you'll get a regular encounters turn okay then I will try to evade with two Abaddon oh great okay so it's going to get returned to the board it's not engage with you also when you succeed at evading you get another action oh no it's okay sure oh maybe we get this loose great someone's got it is that everyone thanks oh okay enemy phase monster phase excuse me the high priest is going to place a doom in her space which is going to go straight on to the scenario that's our first doom who else has a monster chest Rebecca oh the eyeless watcher is going to do one horror that's right to Norman and Kelvin oh yeah right so all that it does is it readies which means it's going to engage you again but it's not going to hurt you okay or do anything else okay encounters I get the first one I've had in a while because I was fighting that boss for so long would you read me Independence Square I would love to independence square up or down which family has parked their truck by the square and they're selling old furniture and knickknacks out the back of the truck most of what they have for sale is foreign and worthless but if you objects look worthwhile you may buy one common item from the display for Half Price rounded up yeah oh for Half Price I will buy the shotgun that's money and that shop at a better rate than my fellow only you would have had that when you were your monster seriously okay that gives me plus five for my attacks and sixes count as two successes so I am a killing machine now good we need it I just better not count or anything scary cuz my sanity is it - okay um who's going to encounter we do Rebecca's cuz she's got all those clues there is a clue on the line in this encounter boom you're at the Arkham advertiser yes you find a newspaper in the archives that is dated in 1937 and shows a car crashed through the front of shoppers general store you gain one clue for your neighborhood hooray yay those are the ones we needed seriously right you may spend one remnant to give many some evidence for a story she's writing never ends good I'm glad the clue wasn't the contingent of it really gave them any one of our remnants right okay Shane and Lindsay who's up presents are going to counterclockwise okay sure oh I think that's clock no all right there's what does it do 1 years doesn't Rebecca I usually read to Lindsay you're loved oh I do that was close I don't rightly miss them from this pile oh I have one doing it already graveyard oh it doesn't matter one duel on our space you come upon a Parisian mosaic that depicts a man with strange weapons fighting among broken buildings test your lore oh good yeah this is amazing ok if you pass you identify obscurely identify obscurely with the struggle you remove one doom from your space cool that's not bad alright yeah down to one in the and I'm blanking on the name of this river town down to one do it river town she ain't having her own ears one one you find yourself reliving some of the darkest moments at the American you've suffered two horror all right let me with two horror but abruptly you find yourself alongside General Washington knock him out of the path of a bullet just in time you remove two doom from your space and gain one remnant okay so I can only have one doom but I will take a remnant there was no no test test org or a decision no okay not on any of them actually I wasn't really my lucky cigarette case no you did like you tested Oh on it on the card oh that's interesting it was on the huh okay is that everyone's encounter mythos Oh last two in the bag they are a gay bursts top card of the deck Oh top card north side oh no no anomaly there that's fine just flooded with doom don't forget that discard pile gets shuffled okay thank you and then doom sponsor right after you shuffle the bottom card is going to spawn doom the graveyard where I am where I just cleared a so that's gonna put doom on the agenda i Ross know right but that was our Kimura card game talk it's gonna put doom on this scenario because of the anomaly all right change brush bag all right I got this hoorah it is doomed hoorah weirder Giunta strange to think on the unvisited aisle okay the graveyard oh okay let's pause right there that's three doom on the scenario which and deja vu here says when there's three or more do on the scenario she flipped this car strange things are happening all over Arkham people from the distant past walk down the streets wondering at the unusual buildings events happen out of order the dates on editions of the Arkham advertiser seem to be Cho that random robed figures dart in and out of the shadows and to your dismay you think that you're being followed reveal cards from the bottom of the monster deck until you reveal a cultist monster spawn it at the street space nearest the leader which is me and put the rest on top of the deck in a random order the very first time God was a robed figure so we spawn at this Street right next to me then add card 5 to the Codex and return this card to the archive card 5 says time unstuck through all the auto currencies a sense of rising dread fills the air the people the ones from the proper time scurry from door to door unwilling to be out under the gunmetal sky window shades are drawn and businesses closed early as fluid as time is you seem to be running out of it it still has the same objective when there are three or more clues on the scenario sheet we will add a card to the Codex when there is 7 or more doom on the scenario she add cards 8 and 9 to the codex ooh so now well we're getting close to 3 pretty much the second verse same as the first we just don't want do and four more will get us there all right I think I'm up yes right hahaha good time for a gate bursts top one top one okay so that's the merchant district which oh yeah okay anomaly opens the merchant district yes we haven't always in three out of five neighborhoods right doing great doing good yeah and then a newspaper headline which I'm thinking uh police do your jobs opinion Arkham more dangerous now than ever top cops reform force or step aside by Doyle Jeffries editor-in-chief Arkham Massachusetts for each clue in your neighborhood you suffer one damage or one horror but there are none cool Oh random yeah great we've actually dodged a couple of those bullets that much is good a lot of bullets then where does the clue spawn or district oh great do it to be fair that's true of almost all of the city hey I'm about to clear this out please do and do Mamadou translation ok Northside has four out of five doom it's gonna have an anomaly there too soon okay action phase how are we getting out of this okay so mine is pretty clear I'm just gonna go here and try to deal with that in the general store yeah I guessed all right okay no more anomaly in River time right that's my whole turn you got some money for the general store on counter oh we do that's true I might come in handy get again yeah okay I think for mine I'm gonna try to finish off the monster yeah wait if I do then I get to remove a doom Oh perfect that would be great yeah Jenica hot brother and I think you got a good chance at that rate you mean one asking one more can I succeed yeah well you're getting rolled like that last time right never one you need it okay you do get a remnant for defeating the ravenous predator remnant and I get to remove this doom okay what actually looked and I think I'm gonna try to send I'm gonna try to research that's a great idea whoa I have three observation but is there something about I have to I guess you just you get to put one clue on the scenario per success prettier so if you love to see two successes here and again that is zero that's less than ideal yeah okay um Shane and I have turns left I'm thinking I don't know I don't really want to fight this and doom is a major problem so I'm tempted to use my spell to get over here and try to take out some of that do Oh gonna I have one lure so if you leave no one's warning that letter yeah but I can always come back I mean it's pretty much can that you're taking also you're taking a lot of horror from your bounced around to attend to of these two realms - remnants so I could use those I think it's about trying to get this one and then I can move over there next time I think it's kind of crazy to leave like we've got several people who are just they move away from going over their next round but I'm just a move away from going over there yeah plus two horror plus two horror or Tim remnants well your yes but the people who can go over there next round aren't in the middle of the other okay the other sensitive area already yeah I think that you should go here and try to go to the police station and try to get rid of all right I'll go there yeah one all right I guess I will work all right or one success all like oh yeah okay is that everybody yeah wait did you go I'm so used to having a monster and just going first because I know exactly what I'm going to do yeah I have a turn I would love to stick around and get clues but the cultists need me so I'm just gonna move into the street engaging the road figure and blast him in the face of the shotgun plus five to my attack makes it eat dice and all I needed one success I got 160 oh no they're real and they're sixes so they're the shotgun doubles them for successes the robed figure is not recognizable as once being a human shotguns um that's my turn ok enemy phase you've got an enemy I do I take one so all right and the high priest spawns a doom in its space which is here goes on the scenario we're at four out of seven wasn't great said all the monsters okay who would like to encounter firsts anomaly with zero do you see yourself in the past about to make a terrible mistake test will that's for that's good add one more - yeah with my lucky cigarette case making it a success speaking in a success that's possessed if you pass you get great your teeth and let it happen so it's not to create a paradox you remove one doom from any space in your neighborhood all right almost that helps otherwise alright good good job there yep um Rebecca you artists at the Arkham advertiser yeah Oh clue is on the line here you see tomorrow's paper or roll off the presents it's the same as yesterday's and today's you may spend one remnant to shake everyone out of the repetition do it for them have a remnant the

reckoning okay you happy with that the rumor and play triggers we can either spend a clue to discard it or we can place a doom onto it wait what do you want to do when I hear is Rebecca yeah probably cuz I'm at three yeah that sounds good yeah okay great rogue comment no longer approaching miss to the earth and the approaching as with off it spawns of doom anywhere where there's a cultist and the high priest is a cultists oh well yeah where every spawn to doom there oh well one in the enemy phase and one of them is alright that's five out of seven yeah okay so you blank like I think's aren't that great considering it just means the next person isn't gonna get it blank yeah but it is three just like bys monster okay the monster is a hooded stalker it spawns where the most doom is so it looks like it's all on you Dexter great yeah it's not tough with your yeah but you're taking the derringer might pay off you only have to do one damage to it okay so here you go another monster and the occult Ritchie list spawns at the street nearest the leader which I'm in a street so it's gonna just come on on you okay oh it's elusive which means it actually doesn't automatically engage you like most to do it sits out in the street magician vanishes rabbit self oh wait self oh I think both rabbit myself soul manhunt for the Magnificent mana Fred under way seven white doves also missing foul play suspected by Amelia Baxter you press Boston Massachusetts you disengage all monsters and move to the unstable space unstable space is the Curiosity Shop okay which is right next to where she is the oh you move one space the monsters are not exhausted that they engage another and sponger in their space okay one more token another headline no I don't know what it is okay we're at North Side well I'm just never gonna leave the north side why would you that start researching successfully at some point action phase I know what I should do for mine one is should I do my observation and try to get my clue on there and then ward it's my plan so I can't go you Rebecca are you going to taking on a research action because if so we can wait and see whether she gets to successes is true yeah I can try why don't you understand that's the only person to lose yeah okay three I think you went three Clues I just find one to get rid of that oh that's right and I got my I got one success do you want to send it to reroll oh yeah I was gonna every whirl I'll spend my strength okay oh that's nice both clues on to the scenario so do we do deal with it now so yes when there are three or more clues on the scenario sheet we add card for good thing right we'll see it sounds good profane ritual considering everything is positively delightful we've seen sounds just by parts of the mystery become clear the note from yourself the sense of deja vu they're all because time is becoming unstuck effects may not be following cause properly right now but you're certain that this phenomenon is the result of an arcane ritual performed by the Colts you've been tracking in the city you'll have to find the site of the ritual as well as the epicentre of the temporal disturbance if you're to have any hope of setting things to right armed with your new knowledge you set out again into the city and try to ignore it when flowers fold up into buds and raindrops fly upward to the sky take five markers so we have these objective tokens we're gonna take five of them it says three white one blue one red actually happen to have them in the handful I grabbed randomize them place one facedown in each of the following locations the Arkham advertiser the black cave Independence Square unvisited aisle and the Velma's diner you know I hadn't noticed this before but I think they appeared in the five spots where doom begins at the service yeah I was gonna say yeah huh nice touch then flip this car you're not certain what the Colts rituals intended effect was but it is clearly linked to the odd flow of time around Rico you'll have to discover the ritual site to learn more as an action you can reveal a marker at your location and resolve the effect below based on its color when you reveal a white marker you find nothing of interest discard the marker when you reveal the blue marker we will add card six to the codex when you reveal the red marker if the barrier is destroyed AB card 7 to the Codex facedown otherwise add that card to the Codex face-up if both the blue and the red markers have been revealed remove all the other markers from the board and return this card to the barriers removed when we did the blue one we don't know we have no context for that it just says if the barrier is destroyed it does not explain what what it's what's communicating there I'm sure we'll know what if it happens you have one actually left yes so I guess I'll try and go after the doom there's not really much else to do sure so good at worthy one one great that's all you wanted okay so I think I will move in and take care of this High Priest this Ritualist doesn't bother me as much because it's I could we can spawn to do on either side of it meaning we can put it where there's not an anomaly okay I'll move to the diner where the high priest is hanging out she has to hit points and I test -1 against it but I've got a shotgun so that minus one takes me down to seven dice no no it's not enough I rolled a five you can use your focus I'm trying to reroll one I think I'd better yes I'll spend my strength focus reroll one die I really want to finish off this priest yes got it okay blew away the high priests that's oh and the reward actually says after you feed this monster as part of an attack action you gain one spell so if you can have that I don't have I'm have the sanity to deal with casting spells but I drew it with her as part of an attack action you may test lower minus one add your test result to the test result of that attack action um unlikely that I will use this but cool and I'm done don't you have one more turn I moved in attack ah that's right okay so I'm engaged which means I oh I it's a watcher so you can do whatever you want to do whatever right so maybe I will use my ally to recover one sanity and then I'm gonna attack this eyeless watcher or you can move and try to get rid of this doom we can finally get rid of that so I'm torn because also we're both gonna have anomaly encounters and those might just remove no that's true I think the odds are getting I do I'm pretty good with both of us yeah you're right so I think I lean towards genes okay okay I approve this nice sanity pork pork three strengths all three yeah you got this oh my gosh if you bump that four to a 5.3 6s why do you live Adam questions you do that three rounds ago wouldn't have likes your straight so this guy's dead and I have my remnants pregnant very nice hey what do remnants do again because I have a ton of them isn't for your spell's so you've got your spell's yeah I know but I don't end up meeting in them Oh binding could be useful to prevent them from doing damage yeah it's it's there are two uses it spells or the primary one and then some locations the encounters tend for you to get to spend remnants like you've seen several and Arkham advertiser they're always trying to buy tentacles from people all right so I've got my hooded stalker I have two strengths and I got one so this guy's dead okay nice job all right do you guys think I should get rid of the doom or flip and doom otherwise it's pretty doom it's probably going to cause something really dangerous when you're no that's a very good point one one success do I want to re-roll with what with my magical gift once per round I can resolving a lore test I can reroll one or all of my die I think go for it I'm gonna I'm gonna do all of them there you won success again alright and results hey everything's okay enemy phase the occult ritual estai think is the only one and it spawns a doom adjacent its location let's put it where the anomaly is not that sounds great so at the Bella Luna and encounters I'm thinking I start with the Vella's einer or with the anomaly encounter and then if I clear the doom you'll get a regular encounter which means you could get the clue that's true make sense yes what are we good alright so one doom a vortex of images from the past and what you assume is the future swirls before you you attempt to fix the present in place test lore alright that's cool one day I believe in you I'm glad someone does your efforts cause the storm to fade run with one doom from your space okay yes anomaly is cleared whoo okay we've record a little bit from yeah from everything anything at the bottom oh yeah well just put this at the bottom of the stick okay he is that the police-station clue alright this woman says she's from the future what so either test influence to calm her or spend one remanent to prove she's right I will spend there I'm in it since my influence is one so she is from the future and you can prove it those if you pass or spend the remnant she brings warnings from her time and gives you the key to your success you gain one common item and one clue from your neighborhood all right let that clue when I gain a clue I can remove two horror from this car and you've got some common items to choose from well Lindsay what's your encounter - anomaly with dueling definitely take the 45 then I gain +3 strength as part of the attack action that makes you a net ok fighter ok all you need to be a fighter is America ok a foreign looking man with an Egyptian pendant and a glass machine lectures a crowd - 2 will oh that's my testicle most absolute minimum I know that one yeah nope nope if you fail you are caught up in an in the awful spell of the man's words you become cursed well Shane let me help you with that curse means you only know success is only on sixes but it goes away as soon as you pass any test ok see just got to get lucky and Rebecca you are just hanging out at the Curiosity Shop ok oh there's a clue option though but she didn't get it terracotta busts from Babylon whispers Oliver Thomas the owner incense from Nineveh carved taupe stones creatures from the waters of Malta tell me what you're looking for and I'll take a look in the back you may buy any number of curio items from the display and you have a lot of money to spend so much money I hear you though that rich now yeah there are three curios to choose from you're a dollar short of affording them all oh ok ok I'll get these to the elders sign on amulet and rabbit's foot the elders we find amulet seems really good since that lets you put horror on it and since you can take other yeah that's pretty awesome that is a great combo with Kelvin yeah nice job okay so that six I got to pay yes and that's everyone's ex left is everyone's account all right pour again all right we're starting game yeah I think we have a brand new bag - I pulled a monster a cult Ritualist who responds at the street nearest the leader it's gonna pile on with this one that's a bummer a little bit and a clue spawns downtown looks like an town there are three clues downtown now we don't actually so it's always likely that Clues will help us in the future but we don't actually have an objective that revolts get includes right now time to start exploring the potential old ritual sites reckoning so all of our reckoning cards trigger anyone no okay I'm clearing out right which means if anyone wants me to relieve them of something in them yeah near future oh no she was just turning to read the next reckoning for each caldas monster please one doom on its space within a street space place it in adjacent so I think we should do one and one right probably just two on Norman so you can hopefully clear them out in one word action yeah that's fine I could actually take one horror to spend this clue if I'm successful with it Oh to research the clue yeah to research the clue that frees me up then to explore okay that site so a clue in the emergent district you let useless a third clue there in the anomaly a monster spawns the monster will be a hooded stalker which spawns where the most doom is cool it's gonna be Norman or Dexter or we can put it over there yes man oh there are lots of options yeah yeah would you like are we good plenty hey Charlie I could try and take it on okay wanna put it at the train station so you can go help with that oh the day burst okay the bag without the top card no should be the top break each time oh great the anomaly is back open in East town we just put a total of five doom there across like three minutes it's not your fault you literally just cleared it mm-hmm all right good job everyone our actions again okay I swing yeah that's what I was leaning towards how do you flipping in fight oh oh that's too many actions and then practically slipping then ward I don't know let me see what happens here ooh it's the red icon which says when you reveal the red marker if the barrier is destroyed add card seven of the Codex facedown otherwise add it face up the barrier has not been destroyed as far as the game told us be good so card seven is called a strange barrier ah a swirling storm flickers in the sky twisting first one way and then the other as time reverses course over and over again this must be the epicenter of the temporal disturbances as you approach the air grows thicker and thicker until it is hard and unyielding as glass an unseen force forbids you from the epicenter of the disturbance and none of your usual counter magics or tricks erode at one iota you'll have to find some other way past the space with the red marker is the epicenter for the time being a magical barrier prevents you from entering the area each investigator at the epicenter must move one space away now that would give me a free move to these cultists there their elusive so they don't automatically engage me but yeah that's cool that means you can't fight in this round it does that worked out well investigators cannot move to the epicenter until the barrier is this true when the barrier is destroyed flip this card does it say how to destroy the berries still doesn't mean that means that we literally can't get rid of what's called the anomaly we literally can't get rid of not true when I encounter the anomaly I might be able to pull this away I might as like knock all three of these out also the blue one is gonna knock down the barrier that seems like what that leaves right where where else can be hiding unless it's like unless getting seven doom knocks down the barrier but that seems unlikely yeah okay I have one action left and I'll just engage in fight an occult risk ritualists shotgunning it for eight I'm not focused anymore only eight dice only yeah takes one to kill it yeah six damage save those for later Brandon that's how it works I'll ban some of them on my character I think there was some buckshot in that shotgun yeah I didn't its Bryton hit the other one I didn't mention it was a sawed-off okay that's my turn I think I'm in a ward actually yes I think I'm just gonna ward unless anyone else has any other ideas I think has a great idea for you totally we're gonna be all rest and then wore it in that way I can do it rest is not a thing it's sorry it's an action an investigator or a lay in your space recovers once Andy so possibly sanity anything else that I do you think I should do no I would ward first do what do the things that are random first I guess I don't know all right I don't know first I don't know how it would change your decision but it's a good habit to be in I find nothing there's some forts there I can I can upgrade one and I could reroll okay I will turn this to a five for a success and I'm gonna spend my strength to get it to a reroll okay roll the one so you have your lure to what I'm not gonna do that well that's gonna be bad yeah I have one more action you can give to the fun it's done' he loss sanity yeah I'm gonna heal a sanity because I don't know what you always have you could also move to where there's less No yeah okay who else still needs act I can clip yeah what do we get wait okay I'm warning go one two okay oh and they're both sixes so this is good yeah that's your curse good roll that went great was that you did you clear that cross on your very first yet yes I did nice really good at the same so good okay can use Rebecca so should I move here and fight the monster or move here and reveal it's a tough call what's the monster do um he just has one hit point and he's just going to move toward the the investigator with the lowest strength which is probably so it would probably might move an attack Dexter but it's a pretty dinky monster so yeah so I'll move here for one all right oh wait wait okay well so the booze gotta be in one of those two spots okay all right enemy phase there are two enemies no one's engaged with any right okay the hooded soccer moves towards the investigator with the lowest strength that's me Dexter or or yeah that's true if it only goes one space we can go towards Shane instead oh I guess so yeah okay let's have it moved towards the Merman you guys are tied yeah one two all right and the occult ritual spawns a doom adjacent to itself I yes it's gotta go to La Bella Luna again remember this no because that doesn't yeah it's just uh four-fifths the way to an anomaly in downtown alright cool cool encounters let's go I'll go in me with an anomaly to to him in his location your vision blurs buildings fall cities quake and burn you clutch your head and refocus test will if you pass it all vanishes like evaporating do you remove one doom from your space okay yours yes yes I think said that it could be worse well I am hanging out in the residential street again if you tell me with that sure thank you passed anak as low on the street and she whirls and crepes are on you she hisses you're the one I've seen in my visions let me teach you Tess lore I'm ready to learn no I'm not I roll the one you dismiss her ravings as chicanery or dementia okay what do you have Rebecca you're at the Arkham advertiser the people of Arkham need to know they're in danger Minnie Klein tells you but Doyle won't run the story without proof you may spend one remnant to make sure her article is published Minnie we already gave you everything okay I'm gonna need them okay you have zero on myspace zero on your space alef-bet Jamal the Crone walks you through the first lesson test your lure for please haha I'm gonna rear all all of them oh you haven't used it yet this round I don't think so cool pass yes okay if you pass you grasp the underlying power of language to define reality you remove one doom from any space in your neighborhood I'll remember this one from the RiverDogs okay sweet that's everyone right back to the bag this bag is killing me it's killing all of us I got a headline wild animal attacks spike cats dogs livestock attacked two missing persons blamed on animals wolves bears wild cats likely culprits police say choose one non epic monster in any space you've suffered damage equal to that monsters remaining health and then you defeat it ha you got that one or that one yeah I'm leaning towards the hooded stalker because it's two spaces away um but if you deal with that one then you can just move and check this next turn oh okay yeah I'm gonna just get rid of the incorporates you Lestat MySpace it has one health so I will take one damage and it's dead alright not so bad at all the wild animals attacks turned out to be a ritual in so long and doom spawns where graveyard at least we cleared that out one of the better spots that's fun graveyard oh well now I'm a little less happy again great you'd say graveyard East town Velma's diner oh it goes on the scenario sheet that's six girls all the doom yeah we're almost a fresh bag of it oh yeah that's true headline mmm every time you go Miskatonic Museum mystery items stolen from rare exhibit police stumped crazed curator calls crazed curator calls curios cursed by a long associated perhaps an arc of mass that's great task twill and resolve the effect based on your test results hmm I become cursed I was impressed I feel very familiar oh yeah I was I had to be cursed anyway gonna blank okay is that the last thing in the bag yeah for you okay please no with a doom monster instead okay okay a keening hound appears where the most doom is oh man Oh two three four it's going to move directly to and engage the person with the most remnants on the next turn I better put it where I'm going and shotgun it this turn yeah so someone someone else come over and can i bypass this one without engaging entering no okay I can also try to get there with my spell Oh true okay so we got a few options you have one more to them yeah although I would rather do that I guess oh yeah oh not a good time for a gate versed where does it happen North Side which oh no North Side that's fine there's no like no doom spills over but it does open anomaly we're back to more than half the city having time moving backwards and sideways and stuff um I'm not we're not making that part I might go here and check this islands you want to go first yeah cuz then that frees up everybody else if it's the blue one yeah yeah of course alright it's being guarded by the hound okay that was your turn okay um I'll just move in engage the keening hound and shotgun it eight dice strength - one right seven nice six of count double let's get four it's a six four one two five four three nothing I can do to get that one more though so it's gonna be three damage yeah brutal okay that's my turn you have an attack I do but I feel like my I'm better off not fighting that thing so yeah my options are either clear the doom or flip that and move the story forward you know what I'm gonna use search phrase e to reroll this yeah so I am going to suffer one damage one horror I'm just gonna go ahead and put on the search for a Z destroying that card okay and reroll all the dice that weren't successes I want to finish this thing off otherwise it's gonna just going to be two on one to me there we go there's another six blown up do you get another action after you beat a monster I do not I do get a remnant for killing a big monster I've got a lot of those okay that's my turn now so I'll leave it up to the group do we want to close that astral plane or whatever it's called anomaly anomaly or do we want to finish move the story forward and flip ah move the story forward are you you're casting a spell to get there yes but I can use my to remanent to cast a spell that's true so many I am a magician it just seems like big I wish you had a dollar you can just move that money to when I'm broke so I lean towards closing the anomaly we don't want to increase the odds that we get I guess part of me is like it's gonna happen doom on the agenda there's a three knobblies what anomaly is not going to make a break but finishing this could move us closer to finishing it game that's true that's what I'm leaning towards Rebecca yeah let's let's look that maybe I can see what the blue alright test lor okay so I'm gonna go here spend those remnants here's my cure reminisce all right over that believe you found the blue so when let's see when you reveal the blue marker ad card six to the Codex it says ritual sites the ground is marked with twisted and overlapping circles of wax and shock I don't know how I've been here and I missed that skulls you're the blind idiot God it was skulls wet red corpses and fetishes adorn stone slabs the walls and the ground all around clearly this was the site of some mystic ritual and judging from the prodigious quantities of blood involved its aim was not benevolent to robed figures draw curves knives in advance toward you you reclassify the location from past to active ritual site the place with a blue marker is the ritual site reveal cards from the bottom of the monster deck until you reveal to koltes monsters spawn them at the ritual site and put the rest on top of the deck in any order robed figure robed figure all right - Road figures are at the ritual sites it says here action you may remove five clues from the scenario to stop the ritual if you do remove the marker and flip this card perform this action only at the ritual site five clicks so we need two more on the scenario sheet and then we can remove them to stop the ritual well we have two more Shanna's why did I have one okay so there are these two rogue figures I'm thinking do they not go on the site they do on the site but so they engage us so we can like choose who they here they go to um I will take them both I can afford the damage and that frees you up to maybe get a clue and then you'll have to okay all right so I've got two Road figures flanking me Wednesdays turn is done it leaves Rebecca and Jane oh no that leaves Rebecca I was thinking of moving here and trying to tackle those do I think that's a great idea yeah probably so okay oh here you go okay yeah and you get a remnant all right my robed figures are each gonna hit me for one that puts it okay that's cool I'm good I'm just at one remaining health and two remaining sanity oh yeah I'm doing so good and the hooded stalker is moving towards the investigator with the lowest strength inside of me or we can move it here to go closer yeah let's send it towards Harmon one two okay and encounters um I don't have one because I have roped figures surrounding me who wants to do their encounter I'll do mine I'm on a black cave River time in the black cave the blackness around you is watching and listening either test will to steal your mind and stare down the darkness or spend one remnant to appease it if you pass or spend the remnant the darkness flows into your mind gain one spell schirling spell ritual test 4-1 one monster in your space when Jason's base suffers damage equal to your test result you can perform this action while engaged with monster oh that's pretty cool Wow so I could use have to kill it yeah yeah okay downtown for Lindsay is it clearing out a clue okay Independence Square today is the arkham Art Fair you may buy any number of curio items from the display one artist is painting a futuristic cityscape test your observation so you had no money I have known no reason no reason to shop yeah I forgot about that yeah okay okay that was a clue in town right so we shuffle all right and Rebecca you're at an anomaly with one do you find a ritual circle no doubt left by cultists that you could use to reverse the local disturbance but only if you have the necessary ritual components you may spend one remnant to remove one doom from your space and one doom from another space in your neighborhood house I will spend that remnant sounds solid get rid of Isis that's our encounters hm-hmm mythos alright so we're really hoping not to get any doom in three of the district's yeah okay you mean that three districts where we congregate doom I'm pulling my weight I drew a blank I mean we couldn't take it in the Great Bear I can't yeah it would open anomaly but I wouldn't put you on the agenda a clue spawns where a merchant district ok she's done yeah Cleo under the anomaly inversion district yeah headline and live something good I only have two laughs told ya unscheduled pray it shuts ah mr. rebel is right fanciful costumes so much father lot blend some music unrelated salsa say hi hey Jessa stop right on automatic headline you suffer one more for each monster in your neighborhood yeah honey no okay good token uh that was one yeah oh did I did you spawn the clue yes and Oh worker town baby yard okay it opens an anomaly in our town but we have not reached 70s literally there's only one slate where there's not at all and one more doom there would open an anomaly blank okay damn Oh God each town film is diner so that go okay it goes onto the agenda there seven okay when there's seven or more doom on the scenario sheet add cards eight and nine to the Codex and return this one a terrible crashing sound calls your attention toward the sky a massive rift floats over Arkham a menacing aura permeates the atmosphere and a visible bubble of distortion envelopes the city and one doom token and one gate bursts token to the mythos bag great great great yeah they are set aside over there do many gamers throw those in reveal all facedown markers there weren't in you and remove all markers but the red one so I think our chance to spend the five clues to disrupt the ritual as though is just because we just removed the blue from the board if there are no markers place one red marker face-up in the starting space return cards four six and seven to the Codex so there's no more ritual there's no more barrier thing in the past then flip this card this card is called as a thought awakens swamps a gateway to the center of chaos looms over our comb the Damon Sultan of being of supreme power threatens to consume not only Arkham but the entire world as thought cannot be defeated by human hands but perhaps there is another way the space with the red marker is the epicenter as an action you may move to the future perform this action only at the epicenter when there are five clues on this card the as Thoth awakens card flip card 9 and reveal read to the lost in time effect when there are 13 or more doom on the scenario sheet flip card 9 and read the blind chaos effect so we can't move the three that are there onto there we need five totally new clues well so we haven't talked about how we get Clues through yet there's still one more card to reality the future only skeletons remain of the buildings of Arkham the blasted landscape is all is left of your future this card is a space call to the future so I'm gonna set this right here next to the red space if doom would be placed on this space place it on the scenario instead as an action you prepare for a massive ritual and closing the entire city in a circle inscribed with the crooked star of the elder sign test Laura - - if you pass move one clue from the scenario sheet to card eight so we need to do that five times perform this action only if you are in the future and then while you're in the future instead of resolving an encounter you fear this future is what we awaits the earth you call home you suffer to horror and there is no returning from the future you can move there from Velma's diner but you cannot go back so once you're there your entire job is to try to move clues from the scenario sheet and testing while testing Laura - - okay so I'm probably the best person for that well yes well I can add one and go up to five well I also we roll on things I mean yes let's let's send you guys probably both through because we need to do it five times and you can't repeat an action twice so it's maximum once per turn I kind of think we just have to sprint to do that yeah we can like try to keep doom off of here just so we don't get 5 out of 5 anomalies but other than that it's kind of our only hope right ok thanks L feel like we we have clues to bring us up to 5 I think what makes to try to research the clues and then go here and try to do it do you want to go Rebecca okay well I'm thinking I can either try to close close this water close that one that one puts me closer to clues that I can potentially Oh or I can try to enter this cluster I think we have a lot more doom coming towards this one based on like cuz the cart would keep redrawing the same cards so I think it would be great to close the green in all the way I agree with that okay it's just I don't know yeah I need to spend a dollar you got plenty of those still which is fine I'm getting down there Lorna and then I need to ward which is are you also with your good I got cute all you do is one okay anomaly closed that's actually a really good and that's your turn I'm going to cast my spell to test lore so I can get over here and then I'm gonna try to research my clue what do you guys think yeah either research your clue or ward so that maybe with that any anomaly and I research the clue for if that's gonna be your goal okay alright first I'm gonna try to get out here you're using your fine Kate yeah okay remnant dinner well oh yeah remnant and one okay in there and I'm gonna try to research okay which is test observation right yeah say success okay for clues on there alright moving over is that everyone I think so yeah who all right team this is doable okay for my turn I have two room figures so I'm going to maybe I'll try to evade them then we were talking about getting you some money if I paid them both I can it's a long talk because that two dice but I'll give it a try first one success okay I have made one of them and I get another action sliced a lot too but the other action has to be to fight so shotgun it that made sense because you can't fighting doesn't like let you spend your successes on all the monsters so I could not have fought the boat okay blown apart and I have one action left so no I can't get you money I guess I can stay where I am and go next time if you want to have the first turn of your next time be give me money to trade you can also research this clip yeah I'm going to I'm gonna research my clue and then add 1/2 mile or the wording is not a bad idea either but okay I'll take three bucks please image any action and that leaves you in T okay I'd like to increase my own I'm gonna focus and increase my lure and then I guess I'll board while I'm here okay you don't put it in there no because I can do that when I'm here yeah and if we're gonna be there for a while so five yeah buy some time on this anomaly sick so I get rid of my curse sweet success two successes gets rid of all the since you were cursed to the five isn't the success okay.what excess but then I'm gonna don't worry roll now you're unlikely to see a lower test as your encounter didn't help okay and that's everyone so enemies the robe figure is just going to ready because I have aided it and it'll engage me the hooded stalker moves towards the enemy with the lowest strength towards mine that's a bummer yeah it's kind of a little bit in our way hmm I can use my spell and jump over it if I need to yeah surely on the next round I could go take a whack at it encounter phase we skipped me since I have a rogue figure you want to read me independence where I can read you independence square Lindsay oh it's a clue today in the arkham art fair you may buy any number of curio items and on the display one artist is painting a futuristic cityscape new is your observation yep I think we failed it I think I failed it so second time's a charm oh I failed it again nothing happens we shuffle it back in but the three clues are just gonna hang out there forever great we're going Shane your encounter is the anomaly with one doom you find yourself thinking of choices you've made your successes and regrets tests will create five if you pass you recall a mistake that you made in the past and race to correct it as time bends you remove one doom from any space in your neighborhood so nevermind or a different one probably one that's more out of the way I get this one yeah and Rebecca you're just hanging out the tic-tock Club no anomaly there's a clue here the smell of something hot and covered in gravy comes in from the kitchen you may spend $1 for you are an ally to recover three health Oh something about the clocks off tester observation observation three all ones I feel like if you get all ones that you'd count for something you don't get the clue oh boy and wait once the round you may read roll one die while resolving a test oh yeah give it a roll yay oh sweet now I got to find that card again it's cool umm the clocks aren't just set at different times they're moving at different speeds you gain one clue for your neighborhood I'll take it [Applause] okay here goes nothing I do graveyard okay on to the scenario that's eight and a headline this is our second to last one and also we're low on I think if we use all of them are we done we start every time we draw the headline icon we put a doom straight on to the scenario so it's kind of it's a soft timer but it's a timer Hurst's treasure brings money comma problems no money mo problem but it's not money problems the comma is very clear about that the money is this money is the root of all evil treasure once belongs to pirate Marsh family of Innsmouth claims treasure is theirs test will power and resolve the effect based on your test results 3-1 success you gain the three dollars and become cursed you rich curse thank you alright okay yeah there's a lot of headlines like this where it's like you test you either get bad thing good thing or both yeah that was what my last one yeah okay go ahead alright so we have v right v doom left hey reckoning alright any reckoning effects on our cards before you move on to asses off no occultist who's on you okay well so there's a cultist on me which spawns a doom and the hooded stalker who's gonna open an anomaly god damnit yep downtown times moving sideways okay alright and that was your first token that was nice he's very dramatic build up to a blank monster we've got us an abyssal servants spotting at the street nearest its prey who is the investigator with the most clues that's me I have one spawns on the street by all of you to spawn by her sure okay clue a clue we were side by side Rivertown rather great I don't even know what suicides are real-life city a few miles away you're the last to enjoy doom we're Curiosity Shop sorry oh wait no that was on the scenario that's number 9 out of 13 Oh No gate bursts alright what's the top card of that deck tonight north side which already has one yeah so that's three more doom straight on to the scenario so we literally only have one more day left I have 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 yes 12 out of 13 I don't think there's any way we can do this no we can try it does look impossible but let's play it out it's back to our actions I'm gonna start by evading my road figure to see whether I can do other things I fail yep sure fail so I gotta fight it like that's all that's left for me okay so shotgun it for a million yes oh you got millenia fixing those around I was cursed too but yes the sixes did the trick okay that's my turn all right I'm gonna move to the future all right and then I will prepare some of the tests 4-2 preparing for a massive ritual yeah and neither you can spend your focus for every role yeah let's do that and I can don't use my lucky cigarette so I can move one two all right one out of five of those chairs so close who's up um I can't hear ya I'm like a try and take a smell it's the only way to me actionability no just the dollar uh move three spaces yeah either warning or researching your clue it seems like the way to go yeah I would research your clues that I don't have to ok well the only thing with researching is I don't have a lot of observation yeah okay well five there's enough clues they just have to be moved to the ritual in the future okay and that was my but you can't go this route you should move over there so the monsters not gonna chase you anymore yeah you can do pretty much whatever you want or just want to try and close this yeah you can't to get all the way there yeah not bad if we happen if we manage to have another round that is good okay Lindsay hey I'm gonna try to teleport okay how many and I do so I'm gonna jump over this guy did you spend scares me to reminisce and I'm moving and that's all I can do yes you made it to the future there's no going back maybe not because you know just get it for two or if you stay in the present you can trim the ward mmm try to get this off and then maybe on this encounter you get this one off that's true yes maybe it's not time to move yet I'm gonna do that okay no I got plenty oh wow yes you did it all right okay that's everything it's the monsters so no one has anything engaged right a Bissel servants it moves towards and engages the investigator with the most clues so it's gonna move towards Dexter one two back and the hooded soccer moves towards the lowest strength yes Helen gives you and hit you for one well the bigger thing is that I can't do anything else next time you can evade it yes then I invade it and then I move no you can evade it and that gives you an extra actions yeah if they move and then okay or I can move over and kill it okay in Karras I'm in an anomaly with to do the traveler who looks just like you and claims have come back in time to prevent you from making a terrible mistake test will - - which terrible mistake I make so many will - - very - - oh man I'm really one died and failing all right it's not a - horror uh that haha kills you that kills me which adds one doom to the scenario when a person is the view 13 doom on the scenario sheet we flipped card 9 - hmm chaos the Damon Sultan emerges from the great rift over our command all air is sucked from the atmosphere in an instance earthquakes and volcanic eruptions tear at the Earth's crust tear the Earth's crust apart moments all remaining life on Earth lasts no more than a few fleeting moments of pain or rather they would feel pain had their minds not already been shattered like this like we lost sin how you survived long enough to watch everything else die investigators will lose the game that's a bummer we didn't know well all right welcome to our cavora 3rd edition it's hard yeah I won't see you practice l just was the same way and I think we're all better at elders you have to yes similar to in elder Torrey not to strike the right balance between trying to win and trying to not lose yeah Burton finding clues versus removing doom and I haven't looked at the cards I've never won this scenario what kinda well I've played one other time I don't look at the card my suspicion is if we had pulled off the spending five clues at the rituals at one we would one so we weren't close we're close next time next I mean next time on video we'll probably play a different scenario yes next time we play we'll get our revenge so happy Halloween everyone yeah Halloween game which is good it was yeah all these are gonna be us are great for Halloween I'm sure I'll play more between now and then since it's four days away see you guys tomorrow all right thank you all for the game thank you for having us my pleasure no one's ever said thank you back probably someone has yeah what this just seems the most important to me I am the most genuine other people were probably saying it but didn't mean it so I mean it I'd have sensed it I know on that lovely her health Halloween notes be optimal [Music] you
