@triggercut, London Encounter, Research Encounter, Mystery Encounter? (The last one would still be a waste.)
@ironwulf, Other World Encounter or Shanghai Encounter (or fight the Lloigor, which would probably be suicidal)?

[malkav11]

@charmtrap you are Lead Investigator.

[malkav11]

PS: I would recommend Ashcan Rest, because in addition to restoring lost Health and Sanity it will I am pretty sure complete Carolyn’s Personal Story.

[charmtrap]

1. Move to Rome
2. Use action to move to space 14
3. Extra action to Rest.

Going for that clue.

[malkav11]

You would need to rest while still in the same space as Carolyn for it to count.

[charmtrap]

Well, I’d love to help, but I kind of think we need to get a move on, and I can get to that other gate next turn this way.

[malkav11]

@brooski you are next up.

[malkav11]

Still waiting on you, @Brooski

[Brooski]

Sorry, will have a turn in a bit.

[Brooski]

1. Take train ticket
2. Travel to Pyramids

[ironwulf]

1. Move to Himalayas
2. Rest

Roll for my 2 conditions:
Paranoia 2 http://orokos.com/roll/630488
Amnesia 1 http://orokos.com/roll/630489

For encounter phase I’ll do Other World

[triggercut]

1. Acquire train ticket, and then discard it to flip corruption condition.

2. If that does not consume both actions, I’ll move to Rome. I can’t fight a goat spawn by myself.
