    Good point, thanks Cerberus. :)

    @Bedlam to finish up by combating the vampire.

    Fun fact: $1 in 1926 was worth $12.21 in 2010 dollars.

    This game seems so good. I want to play it, but I have zero knowledge of it at all. I can't wait til the kids are teenagers so we can play some of this craziness.

    When do I get to fire my gun blindly at things while slowly going insane again?

    Would you be interested in having a reserve spot, @sportzboytjw and a spot in the next game?

    And patience McGlen, after the Mythos Phase you can go ahead and be gangsta.

    I got a meeting I gotta go to so I cant resolve this right this minute.

    Probably going to have to use an item against it? 1d6 damage could wreck me. Looking for advice from the other players for when I get back plz.

    @Bedlam Well, remember that you have +1 Fight, and there is Heat Wave.. so currently I think there are two options you can choose:
    - Use Holy Water (+6 to combat checks) so you can roll 5 dice.
    - OR if you would like to save your Holy Water you can risk it by spending your clue tokens (because of your skill, by spending one clue token you may roll 2 dice instead of one).

    And just to let all of you know, I am considering of hosting a game of Arkham Horror as well after this. So I can take any extra reserves off of mi-go hunter's hands :winky:

    @NoizRnel or @mi-go hunter

    Does the -2 of the vampire mean I roll two less dice though? Or does it mean I need two success to pass the test?

    The -2 modifier means you roll two less dice on the Combat check. Remember that Heat Wave further increases the modifier to -3

    I work all day and can only get online through the library now since I dont have a laptap or ipad or anything cool and no internet at home (am trying to find a new place to stay to fix this)

    So as long as I am brining this up I should mention that I might not be able to get on this sunday or monday because of the american holiday. Hope thats not too much of a problem for everyone :S

    5d6 → [5,3,4,2,5] = (19)

    Yeah I wasnt really planning on slugging it out. Thinking Id be more of the run away type but I didnt get the option so I might focus my fight tomorrow.

    That random skill sure as hell came in handy though.

    I slide my Fight/Will to 4/3 and move to the black cave.
    I do my horror check against the cultist.
    My will is 3, so I roll 3 dice, yes?
    3d6 = 4, 5, 6 link here
    Since I passed that, I will of course be shooting him in and around the face. Fight = 4, plus 6 from my tommy gun, plus one from the cultist itself = 11 die
    11d6 → [5,6,3,1,3,5,1,5,3,2,1] = (35) link here

    So, it's dead and I get to go play with portals now?

    IIRC you don't even fight him, the portal sucks you in before you get a chance.

    Unfortubately, the modifier is -2 for the Horror check, so you have to redo it. With your current Will at 3, you only get to roll 1 die.

    No, I believe theRoadVirus is correct. You must confront (sneak past or kill) the monster(s) before entering a gate.

    Peoples, slow down!

    @Cayrus, the Curiositie Shoppe close by can offer shiny Unique Items. The General Store can offer Common Items. The Ye Olde Magick Shoppe offers spells.

    During the movement phase, you combat all beastly monsters. Then in the Arkham Encounters Phase, IF the location you are on has a gate you are sucked in. So TheRoadVirus still has to fight the Cultist.
