Ancient One
Quachil Uttaus
Investigators
Patrice Hathaway, the Violinist - Susan
Akachi Onyele, the Shaman - Susan (artistic and spiritual ladies!)
Luke Robinson, the Dreamer - Rob
Wendy Adams, the Urchin - Rob (losers. on purpose.)
Norman Withers, the Astronomer - Robbi
Kate Winthrop, the Scientist - Robbi (sciency theme! )
End of Game
We sealed 6 gates! (1 Elder Sign, otherwise, Patrice's clues)
9/12 doom tokens
House Rules/Game Setup
We chose Investigators based on their anticipated balancing of abilities and skills, and based on their "Personal Stories." We're using both the Personal Stories and the "Relationship" cards this time.
Robbi randomly selected the AO, guardian, herald, and institution.
Expansions in play
Curse of the Dark Pharaoh
Dunwich Horror
The King in Yellow
Kingsport Horror
The Black Goat of the Woods
Innsmouth Horror
Heralds, Guardians, and Institutions
The Dunwich Horror
Nodens
Bureau of Investigations
Highlights
* A couple of Other World encounters that give/could give lots of $.
* Norman was the first player 3 times in a row! (Due to the AO's Dust Deck.)
* Kate failed her personal story, which made her unable to seal gates with clues. However, she had an encounter that gave her a unique item: an Elder Sign!
* We ran out of clue tokens (=none more in the box) a couple of times, largely due to Akachi passing her personal story and getting all of the unstable locations loaded with clues. Also, an encounter or Mythos card caused all of the adjacent areas to a rift to be filled with 2 clues each!
* Rob and Suz have been watching a lot of "Arrested Development," to catch up and watch the new shows. Suz's character Patrice got Eric Colt as an Ally - "ERIC COLT!!" [get it? "STEVE HOLT!"]
* This AO would have been terrible to fight (attack = devouring the first player). It's a good thing we went for sealing the gates.
* This was the first time we used the new dice! (red & purple with gold pips)
