Betrayal at House on the Hill Group 1

[JbeJ275]

Though the ghost attacks him Ox's mind holds out under the strain with the support of his new compatriots, however the force of the mental assault causes him to take one knowledge damage.
(Rolled a seven)

Seeing the elevator arrive he bellows that he intends in taking it and Zoe can get off if she wants to.

[Ronnoc]

Smoke is fine and I'll continue north.

[Kish]

Ox feels weakened physically by the ghost's attack, as well. (Take 1 Might damage, as well as the mental damage; already on his character sheet.)

Because Father Rhinehardt drew a card, he can't move further this turn. The Hero Turn begins now; Jenny, Ox, Zoe, and Zostra are up.

[Ramsus]

Zoe goes into the Gym, does some exercise, and then returns to the Mystic Elevator and waits for Ox to arrive. When she does she'll comment on how pretty the ring he has is.

[JbeJ275]

Ox leaps from the attic unhurt, with the ghost behind him, the girl in his arms and the dog running ahead of him he charges into the elevator. Slamming the button he ends up somewhere random on the ground floor.

[Kish]

Ox can choose where the elevator moves on the ground floor. Which room does it connect to?

[Celticbear]

Blasted contraption, maybe if I turn this knob here... GAHHH! says Zostra as she fails to open the vault door again.

[JbeJ275]

It connects to the dining room.

[Kish]

The elevator carries Ox and Zoe to the ground floor while Zostra tries to figure out the vault mechanism.

Jenny is still up.

[Ramsus]

((JbeJ275, can I have the ring?
@Kish: Is it possible to move past the Ghost/the Father without anything bad happening? Or do you get stopped when you move into a room with them or something?))

[Kish]

((Ox was just able to move out of the room with the ghost. It does take two movement points to move out of a room with an opponent, whether a monster or the Traitor, but movement is normally possible.

I'm not promising what I'm saying isn't overruled by something in the Traitor's QT, but it's accurate as far as you know.))

[JbeJ275]

Ox is all to happy to offload the ring, worried if that may be the problem's root cause.

(Ramasus yes you can have it)

[Felandria]

Left, please

[Kish]

Jenny goes through a door into the servant's quarters, where someone grabs her arm.

Spoiler: Omen: Madman

Show

A ragged madman insists on accompanying you, whispering deranged insights in your ear. Move your Might two places to the left and your Sanity one place to the right; these will be reversed if the Madman parts company with you. The Madman can’t be dropped, traded, or stolen.

[Ronnoc]

The ghost lets loose a cry of rage at Ox's flight that fades into wracking sobs of despair as his essence moves beyond her spectral sight. She speeds, wailing, along the perimeter of the house and materializes behind Jenny. Face twisting once more to fury as she extends her arms towards the girl.

Meanwhile Father Rhinehardt continues Northwards as he mutters to himself "I know I left it here."

[Kish]

Rhinehardt finds himself in a research laboratory.

Spoiler: Event: Whoops!

Show

You feel a body under your foot. Before you can leap away from it, you're knocked over. A giggling voice runs away from you. Lose one random item, except not, because you're the Traitor.

Rhinehardt's movement is finished, but Jenny needs to roll Sanity; if her result is less than 6 she takes a number of points of mental damage equal to the difference.

[Felandria]

Okay, what am I rolling, I've lost count of my stats.

[Ronnoc]

I believe your sanity is at a two, so 2d3-2.

[Kish]

((I rolled a 0 for Jenny; she takes 6 mental damage and dies.))

Zoe walks into the Dining Room and makes a Knowledge roll for the THING. (Got a 3.)

((I'm thinking Zostra should probably try and get away from the Ghost, she seems to hit real hard. But like, might as well try and open the Vault as you leave?

@Kish: I'm not sure if I should be saying what it's for since I don't know if the Traitor knows.
Also, not that it matters right now, but for the future I'm wondering if this takes my turn or it's just something I can do and continue moving?))

[Kish]

(Answers are posted in the Hero QT.)

Maybe if I turn this knob... of course not. Maybe I should do something different... Madame Zostra says to herself as she fails to open the vault once again.

[Kish]

Does Zostra end turn, or is she moving as well?

[JbeJ275]

After failing to find any clues to the grooms name Ox turns and sprints south with murder in his eyes. After hitting the basement landing he immediately turns North.

[Celticbear]

Zostra will go through the charred room and into the mystery room.

[Kish]

Ox finds himself in a furnace room. The temperature is witheringly hot; he would leave if he wasn't still recovering from sprinting there...and then even that thought is taken from him as he's nearly knocked over by something large with teeth.

Spoiler: Omen: The Bite

Show

Something bites Ox, rolling a 5 to attack. Roll Might to defend. After resolving that attack:

Spoiler: The Furnace Room

Show

If you end turn in this room, take 1 physical damage; let me know where Ox assigns it.

Madame Zostra hurries north into the master bedroom. She sees a crystal ball lying on the pillow of the bed.

Spoiler: Omen: Crystal Ball

Show

Hazy images appear in the glass. Once during each of your turns, only when the Haunt is active, you can attempt a Knowledge roll to peer into the crystal ball. On a roll of 4 or higher, you can search through the event or item deck and place the card of your choosing on top (shuffing the other cards afterward). On a roll of 1 to 3, you avert your eyes; move your Sanity counter one place to the right. On a roll of 0, you stare into Hell; move your Sanity counter two places to the right. You can use the Crystal Ball immediately, if you want to risk it.

Ox has a defense roll to make and damage to assign either way; Zostra has a decision to make about whether to use the crystal ball.

[JbeJ275]

Both exhausted and wounded, (If only a little) Ox takes one damage to either catagory.

[Kish]

I'm taking this as Zostra not using the Crystal Ball for now. The Monster Turn begins now.

[Ronnoc]

The ghost tosses the body to the ground and speeds through the house ending at the upper end of the coal chute.
Hearing Ox's arrival downstairs Rhinehardt mutters to himself, "Not yet, We're not ready." and continues northwards.

[Kish]

Rhinehardt comes to an underground lake.

Spoiler: Event: Creepy Crawlies

Show

A thousand bugs spill out on your skin, under your clothes and in your hair. Make a Sanity roll. On a 5 or higher, you blink and they’re gone; move your Sanity counter one place to the left. On a 1 through 4, move your Sanity counter one place to the right. On a roll of 0, move your Sanity counter two places to the right.

Since Rhinehardt is the Traitor, he can decide whether this happens; if it doesn't, his Sanity stays where it is to begin with.
