was having a great game of arkham, three players with two Investigators each, innsmouth board, and my arch-nemesis Yog-Sothoth as the AO. Had three deaths in the first 6 turns from being LiTaS. We did manage to pull an excellent combo though. Three rounds into the game we had a gate spawn on the EOoD, a gate at the witch house spawn from encounter, and two monster surges from the EOoD. Luke had to come out of a gate and we didn't want anyone to be stranded to the loving embrace of Yogi. He comes out of the gate (-3 gate, no way he can close it) and drinks his starting item. The milk of shub niggurath (his milkshake brought all the boys to the yard). first time i have ever used that item but it came in handy. stack of like 16 monsters set up for our twinked out micheal mcglen. He had a gladius of carcosa and the item that gives +2 to horror checks. He goes in and takes them all (for louie of course) and we get down to the business of sealing gates. things for the most part went smoothly as we gathered our clue tokens and closed gates, there weren't many surprises to be had, we ended with a butt load of weapons, 6 seals on the board, and Micheal the hero of the town. But as I dropped a player back off at their place I realized something... I had forgotten the rule that if a gate bounces off an elder sign it adds one to the DoR track. We had atleast 6 gates bounce, if not more... I'm so ashamed.
