Location: Jerald's House
Date: Saturday, 23rd May 2009
Duration: 6+ hours till 6+am
Investigators: Carolyn Fern, Darrell Simmons and Gloria Goldberg
Outcome: Sufficient Gates sealed --> Cthulhu slumbered on with 9 Doom counters, 6 Elder Signs on board and Terror Track at Level 8

Casualty: 0
Memorable: Overnight gaming. Everyone has entered into the Arkham Asylum, St. Mary's Hospital or both at least once. Towards the end, Jerald who opted to play safe at South Church, had not expect the following Arkham Encounter: "Upon entering the church, you are attacked by Father Michael with a giant cross, who for some reason believes you to be in league with the devil. Make a Speed (-1) check. If you pass, you escape. If you fail, lose 2 Stamina. In either case, move to the street". Of course, he failed, reducing him down to 1 Stamina.

P.S. Father Michael had been driven mad in The King in Yellow expansion, turning him into a Blight: "Blessings are discarded during the Upkeep phase on a roll of 1-5".

P.S.S. It is a common misconception that Leprosy causes fingers and toes to drop off - it doesn't!
