So I have an investigator who moves into a space that contains three creatures. I want to attack them and here is where I get confused. So I attack the first one but only do one of the two damage needed to kill him. What happens? Do I then keep attacking until he kills me or I kill him? If I do kill him do I move onto the next creature?

On the same note say I want to move through a space that has three creatures. I understand I can evade them but then if I fail I take damage. Is it damage from all three of them or one at a time or what?

Thanks for the help

You deal with one monster at the time, in the order of your own choosing. So, pick the first monster, decide whether you wish to evade or fight. Once you have successfully evaded or slain the monster, pick the next and so on.

If you lose a round against a monster, it deals the same damage as usual. The other monsters do not interfere in any way, they are completely separated from this fight.

Likewise, if you fail to evade a monster, you fail only with that monster. After resolving what happens with that monster, you try to evade the next. If you have already evaded two monsters and fail with the third, you only need to consider the consequences with the third monster; the other two have already been successfully evaded and require no more attention this turn. Next turn, however, you will have to evade them again, provided you are still in the same space as they are.

If you lose a fight against a monster and are knocked unconscious, you are immediately whisked away to the hospital and therefore prevented from encountering the remaining monsters.

Fascinating. We had a "this is no spam" thread, which usually it's spam.

Yes! Fearlessly, I delved into the thread in spite of the probable deluge of really-quite-poor-offers! But lo! There was no Korean, so I thought "sure why not!".

FYI, I do everything in this bombastic manner. It can be tiring at times but adds a whole new dimension to brushing my teeth.

I sense I'm beginning to not make any... sense... I should probably find a pillow now.

OK, so what happens if you are fighting a monster and you don't do enough wounds to kill it? Do you keep fighting it out immediatly until either you are KO or he is dead?

Oh I have been lurking for a very long long time. Just had this come up over the weekend and needed an answer.

If you don't deal enough damage to the monster you're fighting with, you suffer the combat damage from the monster; if this does not knock you unconscious, then you start a new round of combat. First you choose whether to try evading or keep on fighting; if you choose the latter, then you resolve another round of combat as before. You do not keep tally of damage dealt to monsters (this is not Eldritch; sometimes people get confused by this)

Yep.

1. If you've got a pile of monsters, pick one.

2. Each round of combat, decide whether you want to evade or fight.

2a. If you evade, make an Evade check. If you succeed, you're done with that monster this turn. If you fail, 2b. the monster does its combat damage to you and you begin a new round.

3. If you fight, make a horror check if you haven't already made one against this monster.

4. Make a combat check. If you get a number of successes on the check equal to or greater than the monster's toughness (number of blood drops) you defeat the monster and move on to the next. Otherwise, you take the monster's combat damage, and then begin a new round. Damage you do is NOT cumulative, so you need to get the required number of successes all in one check to defeat it.

5. If you defeat or evade the monster, you choose another monster on your space and repeat steps 2-5.

So, once you encounter a monster, you continue performing rounds of combat against it until you evade it, you defeat it in combat, or it defeats you.
