The GOO was Shub-Niggurath

Michael McGlen had lost his tommy gun... His fight attribute was 1

His Sneak / evade... was for varoius reasons was 0

He was jumped by a Mi Go...

He rolled 1 dice to fight it each turn... completley unable to generate the 2 damage he neaded to kill the beast.

The beast did 1 damage to him each turn he failed to kill it, reduced to 0 due to his special ability....

The two... presumabley slap each other around until the end of time, each unable to actually harm the other.

How would you resolve this conflict?

Call for help and have another investigator kill the monster..?

IIRC, that was ruled that in this case combat ends without effect. Next Upkeep you'll have a chance to use your Focus to boost chances in either Evade or Fight.

In Scenario 2 (against Ithaqua), the Great Ritual came out on like turn 2. This put Cultists at 5 toughness.

McGlen waltzed over to a gate to meet up with a Cultist. Having at least 5 dice for the combat, he automatically killed the Cultist and collected 5 clues, and entered the gate with the intent to seal.

McGlen was a good choice for Scenario 2 :-P
