Freidrich Sturmer and Howard Milton are at the Location containing the ‘Reynaud’s Residence’ Plot

card. They each shufﬂe and ﬂip a card from their Personality deck. Sturmer Flips ‘Musician’. So, his AP

Total is 3 (1 for the Wild on his Character card, 1 for the Courage on his Character card and 1 for the

Courage on ‘Musician’). Milton Flips ‘Voodoo Practitioner’, adding nothing to the 2 AP he brings from

his Character sheet (the Personality card he reveals does not match any icons on the Plot card).

The players confer and decide that Sturmer will roll his 3 dice ﬁrst. Sturmer gets a single success.

Milton must decide if he wants to risk rolling only 2 dice, hoping for a success to bring them out of the

lowest tier or if he wants to use an Item, use a Virtue token, or draw cards from the Investigation deck (or

some combination of the three) to raise his AP Total in order to get more dice before he rolls!

Since the tiered results are as follows on the card

1: or less All present are Unhinged

2: in the clear

3: Gain a Random Item

Storytelling

Plot cards contain snippets of story on their reverse sides, corresponding to the different

investigation outcomes. It is highly recommended that, for thematically-minded players, one

player takes on the role of Storyteller and reads these bits of ﬂavor aloud as they occur.

Effects of Plot Card Investigations

Though Plot cards can hurt you if you fare

poorly, they are also your primary way to gain

resources to help you on your quest.

Gaining Resources

Whenever you gain resources, they must be

distributed as evenly as possible among the

Characters present at the Location responsible

for the gain.

When gaining Items, you have a choice. You may draw one of the 3 Items

available from the Supply. Alternatively, you may draw the top Item from

the Item deck. If you do take one from the supply, immediately replace the

Item gained with the top card from the Item deck. If you choose the top

card of the deck, immediately discard all 3 Items in the Supply and replace

them with cards from the top of the Item deck.

Example: Two Characters are present at a Plot card and

roll enough successes to earn 3 Items. One Character

will get 2 items while the other will receive 1. It’s not

legal to give all 3 Items to one of the Characters. If

there were 4 Characters present for the same event, 3

Characters would each receive 1 Item and 1 Character

would have to go without any.

Whenever you gain a random Item, you simply draw from the top of the

Item deck. This does NOT reset the Supply.

Gaining Virtue Tokens

When you gain a virtue token, simply take it from the pile of tokens and

place it on your Character sheet. The number of Virtue tokens is ﬁnite, and

you can never have more than a total of 12 Virtue tokens among you.

Gaining Conﬁdence

When you gain Conﬁdence, take the gained number of Conﬁdence cards

from the Conﬁdence pile and put them on top of the Investigation deck.

Impeccable Investigation

For a Plot card investigation, it may happen that

you roll more than you need to hit the

maximum tier. This represents an impeccable

investigation, bolstering the team’s faith that

you might actually live through the night. For

each additional rolled in this way, gain 1

Confidence card.

Walking Away from an Investigation

Note that investigating a Location is optional.

Sometimes you don’t want to, either, because

you realize you are in too deep, or because

you realize your companions have planned to

investigate the Location at a later hour. In that

case, you may choose to walk away. Simply let

the card be. At a Dread card, you may walk

away at any time, even after you have used Items,

sacrificed Virtue tokens, or flipped cards from the

Investigation deck. If you decide to stop after

pursuing these courses of action, you do not get

any of the spent resources back. At a Plot card,

as soon as any player has flipped their Personality

card, the present investigators are committed and

cannot walk away.

Triggering the Endgame

The last Plot card of a Story’s 2nd Chapter

(the 1st Chapter in the case of ‘The Letter’)

says: Begin Endgame. This is an automatic

outcome of the investigation as long as at least

1 investigator goes to the Location. Be careful.

As soon as you complete this investigation,

the Chapter immediately ends and you must

perform the steps described in the End of a

Chapter below. In other words, any Actions

planned later are wasted, so be sure to coordinate

this final investigation with your teammates.

Also note that, even though only 1 Character is

required to trigger the endgame, your team gains

2 Confidence for each player who helps. So, it is

often valuable to send more than 1 Character to

this final location.

End of an Action

When all investigations for the Action are

complete, the Investigation Leader calls out the

next Action.

Repeat this process until all 12 Actions have been

executed or until you trigger the Endgame. In

either case, move on to the End of Chapter Step.
