Round Eight began with agenda 1a gaining a seventh doom counter before Roland discarded the top 5 cards of the encounter deck and Wendy discarded the top 5 cards of the encounter deck (again drawing no Writhing Appendages, I'm guessing the few cards left in the deck are probably going to be a lot of them).

Wendy moved to the first Exhibit Hall - the Hall of the Dead (adding 4 clues), investigated (drawing 0 for 3 vs 3 and claiming the clue) and investigated (drawing +1 for 4 vs 3 and claiming a clue).

At the end of the round, each investigator gained a resource before Roland drew First Aid and Wendy drew Baseball Bat.

Round Five began with agenda 1a gaining a fourth doom counter before Roland drew Terror From Beyond (choosing Skill so Roland discarded Unexpected Courage and Vicious Attack) and Wendy drew Cursed Luck, adding it to her threat area.

Round Six began with a sixth doom counter being added agenda 1a, advancing the agenda (spawning the Hunting Horror, with Shadow-Spawned attached, at the Museum Halls and shuffled the encounter discard pile into the encounter deck) before Roland drew Pushed Into The Void (shuffling Magnifying Glass into his deck and discarding both Beat Cops and Hyperawareness) and Wendy drew Ephermeral Exhibits (drawing Elder Sign for 2 vs 3 so Wendy lost 1 action this turn).

In the investigation phase Roland moved to the Museum Halls, engaging the Hunting Horror, paid 1 from .45 Automatic to fight the Hunting Horror (drawing -2 for 3 vs 2 and doing 2 damage) and paid 1 from .45 Automatic to fight the Hunting Horror (drawing Elder Sign for 5 vs 2, doing 2 damage and killing the Hunting Horror). Wendy moved to the Museum Halls, paid 1 each from Roland and Wendy to play the next Exhibit card and moved to the next Exhibit card – Restricted Hall (adding 4 clues and advancing the act, placing the Hunting Horror (with Shadow-Spawned with 1 resource attached) into play engaged with Wendy and advancing to act 3a).

In the enemy phase, the Hunting Horror inflicted 1 damage and 1 horror to Wendy.

At the end of the round, both investigators gained a resource before Roland drew Bauta and Wendy drew .41 Derringer and discarded Baseball Bat.

In the investigation phase Roland investigated (drawing Tentacle and failing), investigated (drawing +1 for 4 vs 3 and claiming a clue) and investigated (drawing 0 for 3 vs 3 and claiming another clue). Wendy investigated (discarding Dr. Henry Armitage and Unexpected Courage and drawing Skull for 5 vs 3, claiming a clue and discarding Cursed Luck), investigated (drawing +1 for 4 vs 3 and claiming the final clue). This advanced the act and left me with the option of keeping or destroying the Necronomicon. After due consideration I decided that Roland would insist on not destroying the book. This forced me to consult Resolution 2, which stated:

• The investigators took custody of the Necronomicon.

• Each investigator gained 1 XP.

With each investigator currently on 2 XP I decided that, thematically it's a good time to spend 1 XP each and take a trip to New Orleans.

• The O'Bannion has a bone to pick with me.

• I rescued Dr. Francis Morgan.

• I gained 2 XP.

I opted to use 1 XP to take the permanent Adaptable, use 1 XP to replace a Leo De Luca with a Leo De Luca (1) and use Adaptable to replace both copies of Think On Your Feet with copies of Narrow Escape.

-The investigators failed to rescue the students.

In this scenario the lead investigator is Akachi Onyele, with 5 resources and a post-mulligan opening hand containing Clarity of Mind, Delve Too Deep, Rite Of Seeking, Shrivelling and Spirit Athame.

She was assisted by William Yorick, with 5 resources, the permanent Scrapper and a post-mulligan opening hand containing Bury Them Deep, First Aid, Machete and Vicious Blow x2.

The Path To Carcosa Scenario IV – The Unspeakable Oath (Solo with Roland Banks on Standard Difficulty)

This went badly on a scale I haven't seen playing this game. I ended up going insane through a mix of horror taken from enemies combined with a set of draws where I don't think I drew a token better than -2 all game. In the end I wound out going insane due to the effects of The Dirge Of Reason (due to drawing no cards with willpower buffs and managing to gain no clues I triggered The Dirge of Reason 3 times in six turns. Needless to say the campaign came to a screeching halt. Since I'm not suffering campaign burnout as far as Path To Carcosa goes I'll give this another go, probably playing two-handed.

Trying a new format for the scenario playthroughs.

I'm a little confused; you shuffled and drew The Dirge of Reason three times in six turns? That is some pretty terrible luck if that's what happened, and I'm sorry. Even so, how would a willpower buff have helped you? Or was the willpower in general, having nothing to do with your weakness?

Not to bother you; I was just skimming your entry and found that bit odd.

At that point in the proceedings everything else was going wrong and I probably was thinking that it would be better if I was marginally better at questing. That was probably the worst run-through of a scenario that I can remember.

JENNY BARNES RETURNS TO NIGHT OF THE ZEALOUT (SCENARIO II: RETURN TOTHE MIDNIGHT MASKS).

If you don't mind the question, in Return to the Midnight Masks, why did you resign so early? I didn't see any obvious reason for it, and hoped to understand better.

I've got bad experience of trying for more than two Cultists (every time I've gone for the third it's ended badly). I decided not to take the risk since I'm flying blind with these playthroughs.
