I'll post more tonight, but that was a boatload of fun.

I'm sorry that we lost, but what a noble effort with so little to work with.

If only we'd kept the shrivelling spells.

Honestly, Ithaqua would be a lot more do-able if you could use clue tokens on the item-loss rolls.

Still, a good time for all. Especially Ithaqua. :)

shrivelling spells cost Sanity. You would have been fine if you had kept the Tommy Guns. Look how effective Jenny Barnes was with the Magnum.

Oh, I know, but they last the duration of combat, don't they? If so you'd just need 2 sanity at the start of combat.

Battle against the ancient one has an upkeep each round. Thus you would need to recast the spell every round.

It was a great game, even though the big, bad dude won by the hair of his chinny-chin-chin.

Thank you Remus for hosting the game. You did an excellent job. Thanks especially for all the help and advice you gave me along the way! I'm starting to feel a bit more familiar with the game. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks to my fellow investigators for a lot of fun and for the awesome teamwork.

Sign me up for the next foray into Arkham. :)

Who knew that being corrupt would work in our favor? :)
It's almost as if people are the problem.
