Innsmouth horror movement-falcon pointWWO

By spursman2150, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Just got innsmouth horror about a week ago and had a few questions on the falcon point aquatic movement dynamic.

1. Do you have to be on falcon's point at the start of your movement phase to use the location's ability or can you move from somewhere and then use the location's ability to move to another aquatic location. I read somewhere on the forum and the faq that you cannot use the patty wagon to get to devils reef in one turn. Using that logic I would suspect that the player would have to start at falcon's point and use this ability to get to devil's reef, river docks etc, otherwise a player with a patty wagon could just move to falcon point, pay 2 bucks and get to devils reef all in one turn. Is this true?

Hello, spursman2150!

The second variant is right - you can use this ability in the middle of your movement phase, but your movement ends then. So it's not obligatory to start your movement to use the special ability of Falcon Point.

And yes, you cannot use a Patrol wagon to go straight to Devil Reef from any location. It is stated in the FAQ, that using a Patrol wagon replaces your movement entirely. So you cannot teleport to Falcon Point and use its special ability in one turn either.

Good luck in your Arkham experience!
