My two moves will be heading to space 7 and then on to San Francisco, en route to Tokyo to try and clear some monsters (and maybe getting a lucky Observation boost in SF on the way).
To clarify, how are you doing this? You can only Travel once per turn. Your special action would let you move one segment of rail and then take a different action that can be Travel if you haven’t already used it), but there are no rail connections to Buenos Aires, and using your special from space 7 would only get you to space 6…
I assume you’re Preparing for Travel (buying a ship ticket) and then Travelling with the use of the ship ticket, which would be legal. But you gotta specify. :)
Yes, that!
(I was thinking of my extra move for going on train tracks, but obviously you’re right…that wouldn’t work).
I go visit Derek at LIT (Lost in Time).
Ummm…did you want to do a trade action with me for the Blunderbuss before you move out of the space we’re both on? And shouldn’t @triggercut be doing his actions first?
Sorry, I’ll post my actions shortly. Still need to finish a few things at work.
@ironwulf Right, forgot about that trade. Still, I thought that a trade uses the trader’s action, not the tradee, and I’m pretty sure that my turn is after your turn, so we should still be OK.
OK, I kind of like Istanbul, and I’m not yet prepared to fight a monster that has a toughness higher than 1.
So…
First action: Let’s open up that Necronomicon and get some spells and go a little crazy.
Second action: And then let’s have a little rest and get a little sane.
Unless something happens to change the layout of Istanbul, I’ll be doing a standard encounter there, maybe even bump up influence.
Either party to the trade may use it as an action I thought. When we do the trade however, I’ll trade you both the Blunderbuss and a ship ticket so you can still do the same move action. My first action Rest somehow miraculously cleared my Despair condition, so the extra ticket I took as second action was in anticipation of trying to head over to Carolyn for help in that, and I can put that off for now.
Yep, either end of the trade can initiate.
Expect an Encounter Phase after I get back from work today. If there’s anything more to iron out about trading etc, now’s the time.
Lore test for the Necronomicon: Lore is 2, plus 1 from Markings. 3, 3, 3 Markings reroll 1 No spells, no Sanity loss.
Rest refreshes you + spawns Clue at San Francisco.
Sefina Rousseau
Buenos Aires Encounter (City)
Call the Storm (Spell) - Ritual: Action: Choose a Monster in your space and test Lore -1. If you pass, the chosen Monster loses 3 Health. Then flip this card.
@ironwulf, Agreement or Lore check? (You would be rolling 2 dice with the option for up to 3 rerolls, 1 effectively free due to the Memento.)
Carolyn Fern
Istanbul Encounter (City)
But you have no Resources.
Ashcan Pete
@charmtrap, Since there is now a Clue on this space, do you want to do a Research Encounter or a San Francisco Encounter?
Agnes Baker
Lost in Time and Space
Strength is 3, -1 from test. 2 die test, blessed. 5, 4
@Brooski, where do you want Agnes to be?
Lost in Time and Space discarded.
Put me in San Francisco.
I will do the Lore check please
Sefina Rousseau (continued)
Lore is 4 -2 for test. 2 die test. 5, 2
Relic Unique Asset gained.
Perplexing Idol (Unique Asset) - Item - Magical Relic. When you gain this card from the deck, gain 3 clues. Reckoning: The idol’s features seem to fluctuate as the stars move overhead. Flip this card.
I’m nervous about what might be on the flip side of this given that Pete has an idol that seems identical except it gives 2 fewer clues.
Ashcan Pete
Research Encounter (City)
Will is 3. Activating Practiced for +1 die and 1 reroll. 4 die test. 6, 5, 2, 1
@charmtrap, apply this Clue to the Mystery? (would put it at 3 of 4)
Agnes Baker (continued)
Agnes appears suddenly in San Francisco.

(Should be up to date as of this post, let me know if not.)
Asset Reserve:
[3] Silver Twilight Ritual (Asset) - Service: When you gain this card, immediately retreat Doom by 1. Then discard this card.
[3] Monster Hunter (Asset) - Ally: Gain +2 strength during Combat Encounters. Action: A Monster of your choice on your space loses 1 Health.
[3] Enchanted Jewelry (Asset) - Item - Magical Relic: If you would lose Sanity, you may spend 1 Focus to prevent the loss of up to 2 sanity.
[1] Bandages (Asset) - Item: You may discard this card to prevent an investigator on your space from losing up to 2 Health.
Okay that was a pretty damned good spell I just got in Buenos Aires. With a decent Lore I can actually deal with some 3 or lower toughness monsters without combat if for some reason I need to discard my Shroud.
Also, if I am reading Carolyn’s personal story correctly we only need 1 more clue to get acquired for her to complete it. I have 5 clues and Ashcan Pete has 2. Of course I might pay a high price for all those clues when my Perplexing Idol card flips…
