Have a short question.

As in 1C objektive it is needed to Spawn Keziah to start final battle but as I see it you dont have to reveal the Objektive card as the last Time card is flipped. It just states that you need to put a counter on it each time a investigator is in her room. But she isnt spawned yet. Thus my players cleared (With some cruelsome deaths) the board as much as they could before trying it on.

The question realy is do you allways reveal objektive after last timecard is flipped or do you have to wait until the clue states so?

On another note we did story 5 before this last night too, It lasted 3 turns until someone had to open the freezer. Did they learn anything from it. NO!!! They proceded to the other altar and got sucked out into oblivion there too. They never learn

I'd say that if they haven't found Keziah (and Clue 1C) by the time that last event comes around, they're pretty much screwed already. (Too late, The witch already sacrificed Nola while you were all rummaging through every drawer & closet.) Usually the fourth event will reveal the objective, while the last event simply ends the game. Short answer: read the cards.

In this case the 3 tokens on the event card are basically so you can go into "overtime" If the investigators are in the midst of the final battle with her as the last few seconds for the ritual run out. My last game went right down to the wire like this, as an insane Ashcan Pete barely pulled a win by plugging Keziah with the shotgun in the 1st "bonus" round as the decapited body of Sister Mary cooled at his feet and two Shoggoths and a Hound closed in from both sides. If your investigators are spending a bit too much time poking into every nook and cranny, I sometimes find it helpful to point out that time is running out on them, and they should consider legging it if the want to find the last Clue.

Yeah, the freezer ending sucks. I am never doing that one again. After all the time we spent setting up the biggest map in the game, everyone felt gypped when it just ended just like that.
