Detained sucks though. Thinking about using a clue.
Edit: ...but I'd only have a 33% chance of success. Barf. Thoughts?
You're spending a clue to gain a clue though, so you have 1/3 chance of being even and 2/3 of losing the clue. Is a turn worth more than 2/3 of a clue?
@jdarksun is detained while poking around the Silver Twilight Lodge.
@Phyphor hangs out with a lizard man, testing Norman's sanity somewhat but being otherwise insightful (current sanity = 4)
@Daemonis assists the Syndicate, and makes an appeal to the council.
With only one clue, the appeal falls on deaf ears.
@Auralynx finds the strange white boat, and pays the toll. The rumor is solved, and the threat of immediate reality collapse is no longer present.
Then the Mythos Phase. Global warming rears its ugly head.
The omen advances to red, causing doom to advance by one due to the gate in Arkham.
The reckoning is uneventful, with only the raving conspiracy theorist friend of Auralynx possibly doing anything.
A gate spawns in Shanghai, accompanied by another Cultist.
And then the heat wave. Each investigator loses 3 health or becomes delayed. Your choice.
Current board:
Ancient One:
Doom: 13
Mythos Cards Remaining: 13
jdarksun:
Phyphor:
Daemonis:
Auralynx:
Auralynx to roll for the Conspiracy Theorist, and everyone to decide between heat-stroke or napping.
Either way, feel free to start taking your actions if you choose not to nap.
Tri-Optimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas. Just 1 extra work cycle twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one.
@jdarksun I think you get your second action now, as you've broken out of jail and discarded the restriction.

Oh, on a miss I can discard something from the market, right? Figured we needed some new cards there. Once we hear from Phyphor I'll pick a thing. It'll probably be the Witch Doctor since I can pull him back with my card power.
Everyone loses 3 health, and Phyphor heals. @jdarksun and @Daemonis are at 4 health, @Phyphor and @Auralynx at 3.
Attempting to bless himself, Norman gets a little confused and just can't remember what to say.
No repercussions for his lapse however.
Leo attempts to purchase things, but is a little short on funds right now after going sailing. The Witch Doctor is moved to the discard, and replaced with a Lantern. A pretty handy item in a pinch.
Encounters:
@jdarksun A second attempt at the clue I assume. It's that Dark Pact you've been looking for!
@Daemonis to check out a weird altar in the hills(?) of the Himalayas
As Trish knows no spells, this is a free-be. Gain the clue with no ill effects.
@Auralynx hanging out in Sydney has a dream of basically just hanging out in Australia.
Tri-Optimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas. Just 1 extra work cycle twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one.
@Phyphor and @Auralynx are frightened by a ghost and Australia respectively.
And then the Mythos phase.
Clues spawn in the Arctic and on the way to the Antarctic respectively (spaces 13 and 12).
A bunch of star gazers move into Panama, find them with Observation and then spend 2 clues to sic the cops on them and kick them out.
A pretty clean Mythos phase so far, although it has drawn it to my attention that the scripting might not have shuffled the Mythos decks after building them. I have recitifed that.
Action time! Also I accidentally quit TTS halfway through doing this update, so there might be some mistakes. If you see anything, let me know please.
Chrysis on

I'll update the market with jdarksuns purchase, but apart from the PI the second post is up to date.

@Auralynx travels to Shanghai, where it is then encounters time. I'll roll them up now, and Daemonis can choose the item and resolve the encounter in the same post. A little bit of extra info for the choice, but *shrug*.
@Daemonis to use art skills to enter a library. This is our first two part Encounter. If you pass the first part in the top third, you resolve the 2nd third. Otherwise the last third. I've annotated it this time.
@Auralynx beats a cultist up with his friends, and steals his lunch money at the cost of one sanity. In this case the Conjuration spell.
Then Leo dives through the gate to Lost Carcosa, where he practises his acting skills in a foreign language.

Gate encounter
@Phyphor rests, then blesses, which costs one sanity bringing him to 4/4. Discarding the spell takes him to 4/3 with the first token on the mystery.
@Daemonis chooses between .18 Derringer, Lantern, Private Care, and Police Assistance

@jdarksun to dob some nerds in to the cops.
