There's a Mythos card (Museum Haunted, with the Curse Of The Dark Pharaoh expansion) which places 2 ghosts in Miskatonic University and states "Investigators who destrony one of these Ghosts before the end of the next turn may draw one Exhibit Item".

So if one Investigator destroys one Ghost then evades the other, he draws one Exhibit Item. Then if another Investigator comes along and destroys the other Ghost, he'd also get an Exhibit Item.

But what if one Investigator destroys both? How many Exhibit Items does he get?

This is a double post.

Edit: Now I see the Edit button.

Museum Haunted
"The ghosts of the pharoahs walk abroad! Collect up to 2 Ghosts, drawing them first from the monster cup, then from the Outskirts, then from those claimed as trophies. Place them in the Miskatonic U. streets. Investigators who destroy one of these Ghosts before the end of next turn may draw 1 Exhibit Item. Leave this card in play until then to indicate this."

If he destroys both, he'll get two Exhibit items. As long as the investigator is destroying Ghosts brought into the game by this Mythos card, he'll get an exhibit item.

i disagree, i think the wording suggests that killing both still only nets you 1 exhibit item.

I've always played that each Ghost killed drops an Exhibit Item. My reasoning is that the Mythos card says, "Investigators who destroy..." rather than "An investigator who destroys one..." If only one Ghost drops an Exhibit item, multiple investigators can't "destroy" it as battles are one-on-one.

In any case, the updated FAQ says that yes, each Ghost drops one.

I agree with that too (for once, I disagree with awp ? wow, man, you can never be sure)

What updated faq, tibs ? sorry for the dumb question, wheres the link ?

Sorry Hem, you must have still been away when this was all discussed. This is the updated FAQ that everyone's been railing for since Kingsport. It's not finished yet; I'm just referring to the preliminary version that I and a couple others got to look over. I guess I've just been taking for granted that people aready know about it.

Any idea of when this new FAQ will be finished? I saw Avi's thread about it, but that's nearly two months old already. Anyone dare to give a tentative release date for it? This year? Next year? This millennium? When the stars are right? I'd really like to play a game of Arkham Horror without having to rely on arbitrary house-rules, for once - I hope it will happen this aeon.

Well, you'll notice that the "Comprehensive FAQ project" stickied thread was started in June 2009. It took this long just to get back the first draft of the FAQ, so the 2nd draft will probably still take a while. This means that the final version, after N drafts, could be a ways off.

Yeah, I figured as much, yet held my hopes high.

Why oh why, in all things AH it seems, aeons are the smallest accurate measure of time...

"N Drafts"??? Is Nyarlathotep an editor? That doesn't bode well for us...
