A Touch of Evil - PBF Game 1

What can I do?

Sorry, not in a rhythm with this yet

Well with your 8 Investigation you have options. It costs 3 Investigation to heal your one Wound, which might be handy as you are about to be attacked by the Hound. Also, 4 Investigation would allow you to look at another Town Elder’s Secrets. Of course you dont need to spend any or all of them as saving some is always handy.

Let’s do both of those things please.

The Magistrate

@gmwhite999 asked for a die roll:
Okay. Heinrich heals his wound, and then finds a glimpse into the Magistrate’s past, revealling …

  • Little Secrets: Witchcraft - In the dark of night,when the black candles burn, a hushedwhisper-chant is all that can be heard from this Town Elder’s chamber door. This is of no consequence to the investigation and has no game effect.

With that discovery, it is now the Mystery Phase again - and the Barghest Hound enters the Olde Woods to attack Heinrich!

First Combat Round:

  • Heinrich rolls 2d6: 1 + 3 = 4
  • Barghest Hound rolls 4d6: 5 + 1 + 1 + 5 = 12

After that first round, Heinrich takes 2 Wounds leaving him with 2 left, while the Hound is unscathed. Does anyone want to play a card - or does Heinrich want to escape or carry on fighting?

Can I play my heal 2 card now?

If you want to escape I can sprint over with my 4 attack 4 wounds character and try and finish them next turn.

@Captbnut Of course, unless following @RossM offer you wish to withdraw? Let me know.

Thanks @RossM

I’ll leg it

Okay you can escape to one adjacent empty space - where do you want to flee? The Crossroads, Road 5 (towards Town) or Road 6 (towards the Marsh)?

Towards town please

@gmwhite999 asked for a die roll:
Okay, Heinrich steps away from harm for now. Time for the Cooperative Mystery Phase Chart roll, which is … d6: 1

The nasty one!

  • Darkness Falls. The Shadow Track immediately moves 2 steps closer to Darkness. The Heroes can collectively take 5 Wounds divided between them as they see fit to prevent this.

Discussion time guys and girls - do you want to share those Wounds and if so how, or do you want to me to move the Shadow Track? Or, does Anne Marie want to play her I Think Not card to prevent the Shadow Track from changing?

I can take 2 wounds and instantly heal them. If I took 3 I’d only be slightly worse off.

Edited because I’m a moron!

Happy to take a wound.

I think I will save my Event for a more dire situation. I am willing to take a Wound.

Take a wound, discard an Investigation (my last, I think?) to prevent it.

So 2 wounds to Heinrich and 1 each to the rest of us. Mystery card cancelled!

Use my card to heal 2 wounds. Better do that before or I’d be dead

Now, Heinrich (@Captbnut), just to check: are you using your Healing Herbs too? Having two wounds already you would be KO’d if you take two more without doing something about it.
