Ancient Ones from Dunwich

By alboy, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

1) Tsathoggua. lt says all Urban cards are discarded without their special effects taking place. When you draw a Mythos Urban card do all parts of the Mythos card take place except the text or is the card just discared.

2) Abhoth. It says lf all 3 Children of Abhoth are on the board, raise the terror level by 2 and add 1 doom token to the doom track. ls this a one time occurance or does it happen every time the third one is placed on the board.

1) Just the text is ignored. The gate location, monster movement, clue token placement still happen.

2) It can happen multiple times. Keep in mind it says that if all three are on the board when you have to place one that it triggers. So all three can be on the board without triggering the terror level and doom token increases. It triggers when you would have to add a fourth.

2) So just to make sure l have this right, if all 3 are on the board and one is returned to the Ancient One sheet because it was defeated & that one is later placed back on the board you would have to raise the terror level by 2 & add 1 to the doom track again.

No. The only time the terror level/doom increases is when you have to put a Child of Abhoth on the board and you cannot because there aren't any more Children of Abhoth available. As long as there are never more than 3 Children of Abhoth on the board at any given time, you're fine. It's when you have to add that fourth one (which doesn't exit) that the Terror/Doom goes up.

Thanks, l understand what your saying, l must of been having a funny 5 minutes.
