Highlights
* Silas got devoured by Ghatanothoa! He picked up 3 clues when going to Devil Reef.
* Luke never made it out of the Dreamlands...
* Rob went to bed at 8 or 9 doom tokens. It was a long and rough game for him, full of bad luck.
* Lola, Charlie, and Wilson made it to the end. They fought hard. They would not have lasted one more AO attack.
* Unfortunately, we didn't exactly read the AO's card carefully: "Each investigator's attack against G deals one less success than normal." We probably should have lost.
