Can the special characters in Act 2 be added by killing them?

By ForAiur, in Arkham Horror: The Card Game

Normally enemies are killed in order to be added to the victory display. In act 2 they have special conditions. Can I still just beat them up if that is faster?

Yes, you can kill them if it's faster. Both killing them and a parley will add them to the victory display.

Another question, don't want to open too many threads:

If an Agenda says "enemies get + x", the agenda advances and the next agenda doesn't have that text on it, is that effect still active?

Checked the rules, it says advanced agendas are removed from play. It still feels very strange in scenario 3.

wich is good. I was very glad that "enemies get +1 attack +1 evade" went away!

I ended up doing that with the one you can parley with for clues. But I figured aquiring new clues would take to much time, so i just knifed him instead. ;)

Yeah, we billy-clubbed a lot of them upside the head too :P

Actually never even drew the .45 or Rolands pistol. The dynamite blast kept comming trough for us all the while! Sadly there was often no time to use it safely. From the 3d scenario:

Roland: "Ok, Wendy cover your ears! It's gonna get loud in here!"

Wendy: "Aw Roland, no! Not again!"

BOOM!!!*

Roland: "Heh. Get's them everytime."

*(that's 3 damage to both investigators and two goat spawn)

How many are people managing to get to the victory display? My best is 4 with Agnes solo, it only adds 1 progress to the next scenario.

4 with roland solo. The ones who got away were that doctor chick and the ghoul wannabe that hangs out in the graveyard.

5 in 2-player, the Masked Hunter got away. (Roland and Wendy).

Did you get all 5 before the hunter got into play, or did you go "yeah, not touching that one"?

He's a tough nut to crack. I think I used up a knife, a beat cop and (the old standy) dynamite blast to take him down.

With only 6 turns, how are you getting the other 5 revealed and defeated? That's 10 clues you need to collect, plus moving and fighting/evading/parlaying.

He was in play, and chasing us all around Arkham town :P we just decided we were having none of him

I just realized this after interrogating three of them the text box way with Roland. Heck, could have used the machete instead :rolleyes:

How that? He moves, then attacks you? So did you take the damage every turn?

You can evade him once and then move, and you can remain one location ahead of him in perpetuity, if you plan your route successfully.

Just gotta stay 2 steps ahead - he only moves one location, along the fastest route. Some turns I got Wendy to dance with him and lefy him exhausted instead ;)

That sounds kinda creepy :)
