Fury of Dracula PBF - Game 1

Lord Godalming takes tickets

The fates shine upon the hunters, for no Dracula events are drawn in Dr. Seward’s nor Van Helsing’s supply actions.

Both, however, need to discard an item due to their hand limits.

Mina (@RogerBW), you may go when ready.

Van Helsing discards a DOGS card.

Dr Seward discards his Garlic Wreath. It was most offputting to his patients, even the sane ones.

You guys are so lucky!

I wonder what Mina will do?

Mina does indeed use her colocation ability to determine whether Dracula is presently in this region.

Germany or Italy - or possibly even France after tonight’s move.

Just to be clear, this means Dracula is not currently in: Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Klausenburg, Szeged, Zagreb, Belgrade, or Sarajevo.

Dracula (@RossM), please move when ready.

I have moved!

Dracula has moved! Using his fiendish powers, the now 3rd space on the trail is removed (Misdirect).

Just so everyone is clear, Misdirect allows Dracula to clear a hideout and take that location card back into his hand before he moves, so he can use that card again. However, he is not required to use the card he took back. Just don’t want there to be any misconceptions about how it works.

Dawn

Dr. Seward plays Newspaper Reports. When played at Dawn/Dusk, reveal the 5th or 6th location on the trail. Considering there is no 6th card, The 5th card is revealed to be Klausenburg!

Assuming there are no other event cards to play…

Week 2, Wed - Day

Play continues with Lord Godalming (@Whistle_Pig). Please take your day action when ready.

Discussion time, team!

So where can he get to by land in 3 or 4 roads from Klausenberg - but isnt’ in Mina’s region?

Don’t forget it’s up to that number, I may have doubled back.

I think the real answer is only going to be found by hopping on some trains.

Hang on guys: trying to plot this out - and think we can take out a few stops on his trail this turn.

Well, either His Lordship or the team of the Doctor and Mina need to get to Klaussenberg this turn.

I’d say that His Lordship should try to find where he went after Klaussenberg which must have been Galatz or Belgrade and let the two of them go to Klaussenberg.

I’ll turn West again and hope to pick up his trail.

Give me a minute … on the map making notes now.

Okay: I still think he’s headed west and may now be further than I feared. What we know for sure is that he hasnt been to Zagreb between Valona and Klausenberg (as I visited there between then), and that he hasnt been to Bucharest after Klausenberg, as I am there now.

However, we can test two possible spots on his trail, maybe three (and possibly, but unlikely four).

Klausenberg can possibly wait until next turn. My suggestions though are:

Godalming and Mina should spilt: one goes to Zagreb, one to Szeged - probably the volunteer with the best rail ticket or a useful event card goes to Szeged.

Dr Seward should go to Belgrade.

Van Helsing should go to Munich - although if the Count has gone west, wolf form might have allowed him to skip over it.

Depending on what we find by visiting/searching those locations, we can see who is best placed to tackle Klausenberg next turn, and if we need to head further west. Or indeed, if he has circled back around behind me and heading back towards Valona.

Alternative ideas?
