Highlights
* Susan was the first player on the first turn. She encountered a Leng Spider, used all of her skills and cards, and couldn't beat it (needed 2 successes, had many dice, used Patrice's clues, ultimately did not succeed). Got injured. An auspicious beginning...
* Rob, to Robbi: "Injuries are fun! Just ask Susan..."
Susan: "What? I can't hear you." (Hearing Loss Injury)
* Silas Marsh, monster curbstomper extraordinaire, made a very lovely fingerpainting while recovering at the Asylum. It inspires children to this day.
* Ursula learned from being lost inAtlantic City of the Great Race and found Find Gate!
* Wendy Adams hung out in the Woods a lot and finally achieved their goal of becoming a bona fide gang member
* Committing an act of benevolent terrorism, Wendy Adams' bomb spectacularly failed to explode. At all. Due to the other investigators totally stealing the glory
* Wendy placed her time bomb, called a cultist to get killed by it, and gave Ursula the Elder Sign on her way into The Underworld (Ursula was on her way out). They had a touching interaction, discussing female badassery, and Wendy stole a bunch of Ursula's shit (derringer and kerosene).
* 4 hour game
