Here's one for all of you to noodle-through...as there's no correct answer, per the rules/forum. Both of these incidents ocurred during the last game against Yig .

1. Lola Hayes (First Player) has an Other World encounter which results in her being Lost in Time And Space. At the end of the Turn, the Mythos card revealed Traveller Lost in Fog! Headline The first player must immediately move to the Strange High House in the Mist. What to do?

Here's what I did, and I'm curious to hear your interpretations...

Lola Hayes placed in Lost in Time and Space as a result of the encounter and added a doom token to Yig's Doom Track . At the end of the turn, per the Mythos card, placed Lola Hayes at the Strange High House in the Mist... delayed .

2. The Mythos card revealed Murder in the Museum which adds 2 doom tokens but no gates. Here's the part that's interesting...this card's monster-movement pattern added the last Rift Marker , thus opening a gate. According to the rules, the Rift Marker appears at the gate location identified on the Mythos card. Unfortunately, this Mythos card lacksd a gate location. What to do?

Here's what I did, and I'm curious to hear your interpretations...

During the next Mythos phase, placed the Rift Marker on the gate location identified on the Mythos card, ignoring any movement as this is the round in which the Rift Marker entered the board.

Again, there's no right or wrong answer for many of these questions requiring an interpretation (as we'll never see the FAQ), but I'm interested in the opinons of my fellow Arkhamites.

It's hard to believe, but it looks like there actually is an official answer to #2

#1 I would have handled the same way you did; the order in which everything resolves is straightforward enough, so the big question seems to be whether the delayed status, having presumably kicked in as soon as she became LiTaS, subsequently disappears when she moves, but I don't see any reason to think that it would.

Yep, for me it's the same. Some greater forces can make people returning earlier from LiTaS (there is even a Mythos card doing exanctly this, IIRC) but shouldn't change the delayed status of the character. Not too bad, I think; sometimes encounters at the Strange High House in the Mist are rather good :-)

Subochre/Julia,

Thank you both for your responses. As to #1, I'm not a fan of flipping over a Mythos card for one aspect of the card (save Rumors ). If that sticky thread is all that's out there, I'll stick ( no pun intended) with my interpretation for now.

Should be "as to #2..." Much too early...and not enough coffee.

As for that sticky thread, those are official answers from Kevin Wilson, the creator of the game. I wouldn't brush them so lightly aside. But, of course, you can always house rule it.

Professor,

if you don't like flipping a new Mythos card to spawn the rift (and I'm with you with this, I *hate* flipping Mythos and resolving them), what about referring to the discard pile, taking the first card in the pile showing a gate? Otherwise you can use the marvellous Tibs variant, spawning rifts in Kingsport (and then closing them is horribly nasty)

Julia,

That might be the plan. Otherwise, I'll stick to my interpretation. The "flipping" of cards for only one aspect seems wrong on some level.
