Echoes of the Past

Stick to the Plan: On the Hunt, Elusive, Emergency Cache

Opening Hand: Machete, Evidence!, Beat Cop, Guard Dog, Leo De Luca

#1

• PLAY Guard Dog
  • Without Charisma the first ally played will eventually be displaced by Mr. Peabody. Let's say Leo called it a night and won't be joining his namesake.
• PLAY Machete
• INVESTIGATE Entry Hall (-1, discover 1 clue)
• MOVE to Historical Society (Historical Museum)
• Upkeep: draw Calling in Favors, gain 1 resource.

#2

• Mythos: Acolyte (spawns at the unrevealed ground floor Historical Society, reveal Record Office)
• INVESTIGATE (-3)
• INVESTIGATE (-4)
• INVESTIGATE (-2)
  • Come to think of it, it does make sense. Hard-ass explorer doing an archivist job has to take time.
• Upkeep: draw Vicious Blow, gain 1 resource.

#3

• Mythos: 1 doom, Acolyte (spawns at Entry Hall)
• MOVE to Entry Hall
• MOVE to Historical Museum (Acolyte attacks, 1 damage on Guard Dog, defeat Acolyte)
• INVESTIGATE (+1, discover 1 clue at Historical Museum)
• advance Race for Answers to Mistakes of the Past (place 1 clue on Historical Museum)

  • Nice draw!

• PLAY Flashlight
• Flashlight (2 supplies left, , discover 1 clue at Historical Museum)
• MOVE to Entry Hall
• Upkeep: draw Emergency Cache, gain 1 resource.

#5

• Mythos: Whispers in Your Head (Doubt)
• MOVE to Record Office

• advance Mistakes of the Past to The Oath (discard Guard Dog, place 1 clue on Historical Museum & Record Office)
  • There's no passageway revealed and finding it will take several actions. Since Leo wants to win via defeating the boss he doesn't need to fully investigate the Hidden Library. Instead he might be able to use On the Hunt to have some Seeker of Carcosa do the job for him.
• MOVE to Entry Hall
• Upkeep: draw Leo De Luca, gain 1 resource.

Leo's boardstate: 8 health, 6 sanity, 3 resources, 0 clues.

In play: Mr. Peabody, Machete, Flashlight (1 supply)

  • Too early, Mr. Cultist.
• MOVE to Quiet Halls
• MOVE to Historical Museum
• PLAY Emergency Cache

#7

• Mythos: 1 doom, Descent into Madness surges into Whispers in Your Head (Dismay), 1 doom on Seeker of Carcosa
• ENGAGE Seeker of Carcosa
• Machete ()
• Machete (-4)
  • C'mon! Even after the first the situation was recoverable. In fact, if not for Whispers, it would've been the perfect time to use Vicious Blows.

• Upkeep: draw Inspiring Presence, discard Evidence! & Leo De Luca, gain 1 resource.

• Enemy: Possessed Oathspeaker gets 1 doom, hunts and attacks (1 damage, 1 horror, 1 damage & 1 horror on Beat Cop)
• Upkeep: draw Doomed (1 horror), gain 1 resource.
  • Dammit! In some ways it's more than apt, since the next round will be Leo's last. This scenario. Note that running out of time and reaching R4 doesn't involve investigators being defeated, so if it comes to that Leo won't be outright killed.

#9

• Mythos: 2 doom, Hunting Shadow (2 damage)
• Keen Eye (+2 )
• Machete (0, 2 damage to Possessed Oathspeaker)
• Machete (0, 2 damage to Possessed Oathspeaker)
• Beat Cop (defeat Possessed Oathspeaker)
• R3
  • Eh. OK. Leo won, but achieved nothing else. Still, we likely won't hear Leo himself complaining. The job was done and that was that.
