It’s too late! And anyway Dracula is miles away and has no decisions to make until it’s his turn.
Mina, having received an event card, does I believe have to reveal it…?
3rd edition rule.
It is:
ESCAPE ROUTE
Play at the start of combat before you choose a card.
You or another hunter are removed from the combat.
And armed with that Mina will Search and see what’s here.
Tee hee! (Again)
Mina, with an escape route in mind, searches the streets of Szeged, only to be surrounded by Szygany Bodyguards!
The hunter suffers 2 damage.
Then the hunter suffers 2 damage and becomes delayed unless they reveal a WEAPON card.
So, just a note on the rules, a hunter is not required to reveal a card for the purposes of avoiding consequences like this if they do not want to, even if it was already revealed due to being Weakened.
That said, does Mina reveal a WEAPON card?
Mina does not reveal a WEAPON card.
Sigh.

Mina takes a total of 4 damage and becomes delayed.
Dracula (@RossM) can move.
I’m feeling a bit bad now.
It’s probably time to fess up how close to Munich I am.
Dracula moves.
Dracula has gone to sea (and takes 2 damage)!
Dawn breaks.
If there are no event cards, we move on to Week 2, Thurs - Day
Play continues with Lord Godalming (@Whistle_Pig).
So, if he went west and is now at sea, he went to Milan or Venice after Munich, then maybe to Marseilles, Genoa or deeper down Italy.
Or, he stayed East.
Thoughts? I suggest Van Helsing try Milan or Venice, and maybe Godalming should follow him.
I’m off to Klausenberg to deal with that encounter.
Once I’m on my feet again, Mina could poke the backtrail a bit. I have an odd feeling about the Black Sea.
Bear in mind I found no trace of him in Munich.
I’ll head to Milan. I can’t conceive that he’s anywhere but the Tyrrenhiean or Adriatic. If Godlming could make Venice it might well help.
Hmm - hold fire Godalming. That move is strange - and maybe an unnecessary mistake by the Count as there’s only three reasons that Dracula normally goes to sea. Let me rethink the last few moves quickly just in case.
(Some minutes later)
Okay, I had a double check there that he didn’t escape through Prague as I thought I had missed that - but if he did then he couldn’t have made sea by now.
If at sea now, he’s in a southern or eastern sea, and finding that third (or second!) space on the trail will help tell us which.
If he stayed east, the key space is Sofia - or possibly Sarajevo. That would lead him to embark at Valona, Salonica, Athens or possibly Varna. Lord Godalming - do you want to check Sarejevo/Sofia?
If west, then he took sail at Marsellies, Genoa or Venice, reaching there via Milan or Zurich (or possibly Venice to Genoa). Van Helsing: take your pick!
I’ll go explore the den of iniquity at Klausenburg. Mina can have a bit of a kip, then we’ll see what we find for next turn.
Thoughts?

Look, I just fed all the information into the Dracula supercomputer and this seemed to be the best course of action.

All together now: “What shall we do with the drunken sailor?” …
While we sing along, it’s Godalming (@Whistle_Pig) to choose his day action.

Apologies for the delay. I’ll take the road to Sarajevo.

Dr Seward will head to Klausenburg for an encounter with the fiend’s minions. Well, at least in a little while after I’ve had some dinner.
