This should have been put here a LONG TIME AGO.

These should be here as well:

There is no built-in way to return from Devil's Reef except for a couple encounters. Someone will have to rent a boat and move you back to Falcon Point if you want to return in a timely/reliable fashion. There are a couple spots on the Innsmouth board that are designed for teamwork.

 

Investigators immune to being arrested are still immune to being arrested in Innsmouth. I had my reasons for ignoring the 'immune to delay' stuff in the jail, but that's different from being arrested in the first place.

Avoiding being arrested in Innsmouth is an Evade check. Sorry for the typo there.

Finn has already taken out the loan. The extra money is represented in his stats and starting items, etc.

 

As for Lloigor, adjacent just means directly connected to that location/street space by a movement line. So, if a lloigor is in a location, it only hits the street it's next to (as well as its own location, of course). It won't always be a big deal, but sometimes it will be nasty. Of course, even if its ability isn't hitting a lot, it still makes a nasty stationary critter, since it will often be sitting on a gate.

Regaring "draw" on Personal Stories:

"Starting items never count towards personal stories unless they are of the type "have X items of a certain kind at once". And items must be drawn and kept before they count.

Originally discussed in old forum, these are answers made by email to Cotsfan76 (app.fantasyflightgames.com/ffgforums/posts/list/5981.page)
 
question: 1) When the Outskirts fill up and the Terror Track increases by 1, all monsters in the outskirts return to the monster cup. So when the terror track goes from 9 to 10 in this manner, all monsters return to the cup as well. However, if the terror track increases to 10 by some other means, there is no way for the Outskirts to be emptied. What happens to these monsters: do they remain in the Outskirts until the end of the game? Or are they returned to the cup like normal?



They should be returned to the cup once the terror level hits 10.

Wasn't this answered in one of the FAQs, that the outskirts build up as normal, but when they "empty", if the Terror Level is at 10, instead of incrementing the Terror Level, you add a Doom Token to the Doom Track?

No: if the Terror Level is at 10, there's no monster limit, so no way monsters can get into the outskirts. If anything else ("Family Found Butchered" mythos, for example) would cause the terror to rise to 11, that instead adds a doom token.

KW just posted on BGG, regarding Personal Stories that have a Pass and a Fail that can be happen at the same time.

"These are all timing issues, and timing issues always work out in the investigator's favor."

You can use the special ability if you want, or do anything else that you could normally do "instead of having an encounter" (such as using the Handyman's ability from Dunwich.)

 

-Kevin Wilson

Hmm. Could I extrapolate from this ruling that using special abilities in Kingsport also counts as having investigated a location?

question: 2) When one encounter card directs you to have an encounter at another location in Arkham, are you allowed to do the Special Ability at that location or must you draw a card and have a "real" encounter to fulfill the original card's direction?

No.  I'm not sure, but I think Kingsport rules say that you need to have an encounter.  I'll check tonight and if it isn't clear, I'll include it as an FAQ question.

Hmm..not sure why my answer wasn't posted.

Anyway, to investigate a location for rift purposes, you must have an encounter.

Does Cthulu's "Stirs in Slumber" ability remain in effect when he awakens?

Yes. All AO "stirs in slumber" abilities remain when the AO awakens. Additionally, during a "final combat" with Cthulhu caused by the right dual-colored OW card, the investigator's reduced sanity and stamina maximums are permanent (if s/he survives).
