    Can I use that again? Or was there something about only being able to use an action once?

    Maybe I should just go into debt. :lol:

    You can only use a given action once on your turn, yeah.

  • Options
    MrBodyMrBody Registered User regular
    You can only go into debt during an Acquire Assets action. That was a special action from your ally so you can't take a debt after failing.

    You can perform a regular acquire assets action since you haven't done that yet.

    Either way I won't be around the board to to draw new assets for another hour or two.

    I want another shot at the clue here, so Acquire Asset.

    Anybody want to chime in on what I should grab? Arcane manuscript, or go into debt for something else? That axe looks great.

    I'd say go into debt and grab the manuscript and the axe. You can always trade it later. Between your burglar and your action, I don't think you'll be resting very much for the puzzle box. You'll probably meet up with someone with a spell to trade the manuscript with later.

    Balls. I think I'll discard Urban Guide unless there are any objections. I'll also have a Other World encounter.

    Just a reminder, if you have a debt then you can spend an action to pass an Influence test and get rid of it.

    Just as a reminder, we should keep track of discarded ally cards, as The Expedition Leader (jdark) can use his ability to grab them.

    Life getting a tad dull Brobifett? What you need is a puzzle box! It has prizes inside! Way better for you than some dusty old book! Also maybe you will open an alternate dimension and some guy with needles in his face will have sex with you...I think.

    I have 4 Lore BASE. I could have guaranteed a new spell every turn. And then when resolving spells I would have been rolling 6D6 to resolve it. Which is even better considering I already have a spell that lets me protect all of you

    That Tome was perfect for me and YOU STOLE IT!

    edit: And the Puzzle Box is pointless, I have the worst Observation and have no chance of opening it. >.<

    First, I will travel to London. Then cast Feed the Mind on myself, targeting Lore. I will Zap the Mi Go with Wither and then (if I win) take a London encounter.

    Geth roll 4d6

    No reroll with assistant, obviously!

    4d6 22 [4d6=5, 6, 5, 6]

    3+ Successes:

    You manipulate memories and potential knowledge with a practiced ease. The chosen investigator may improve 1 additional skill of his choice.

    (note: Feed the mind is a Lore -1 test. You only should have rolled 3 dice. The first 3 were successes so it doesn't matter this time)

    Does this happen whenever 3+ successes happen? Regardless of the test?

    Wouldn't it have been a better idea to stay in Rome and have a research encounter @Neaden?

    Just throwing the idea out there. I guess you or me could have one there next turn...
