Heh... You're forgetting one other thing... Zoey starts with a cross, and Mary starts with a cross, and if that's not enough, William almost definitely has enough trophies to trade for a blessing. Will 6 really isn't so bad :')
It's not that bad, but Will 6 implies Fight 1, not the best thing to start a battle with monsters. Anyway, it can be fix. First of all, kill a couple of dudes to have her PS passed. Then go shopping for Duke. 5 Sanity, 7 stamina isn't that bad. Try to reach Scenario 5 with a Healing stone between someone's possessions and it's done. And then go shopping for - cannot remember his name - an Ally from CotDP, boosting your Combat (+2, if I remember correctly)

Regarding the Ds. No, I'd never noticed that. My only semi-plausible sounding explanation is that in English, all evil must start with a D to alliterate with the Devil.

The rest of this post is kindof a spoiler for how to play Zoey in that scenario, so, only read it if you want to win on your first try for sure :')
I think I also had her rush to get a combat boosting ally (making her even more effective and reliable). Also, Zoey's monster trophies are worth a lot (they still have their toughness outside of combat) so trading for an ally isn't that difficult for her.
Don't worry, it's not a spoiler. I perfectly understood this, as soon as I read that the monsters she has to fight have their toughness decreased by three only for combat purposes. A very clear message ::smiling::

She can handle it. Personally, I beat the scenario with almost no use of Visions, but it'd be even easier had I tried to use it. I think it's only very difficult if you try to play it like a normal game of Arkham (in which case you will be brutally massacred).
I had this strange feeling too. No way, I know you cannot really control the board, just trying to avoid things going bad too quickly. Anyway, it'd be interesting to try. Even if I still feel some of this games are just too hard, I really enjoy the way you're forced to think about different strategies. You understand better the game, and that's important. At least for me ::laughing::
Anyway, no chance this week to play again Scenario 2 (for tonight a
A game of thrones
evening is scheduled), so next w-end we're going to face Glaaki again (and hopefully we'll be a little more lucky. It's amazing that two weeks ago we played a game against Hastur + King in Yellow and Patrice - I mean,
Patrice
- had TWO press passes and in the last game, with very few clues and no Patrice, we drew carrots and cabbage. Oh, well...)
