It’s so dark! Without Torches Ursula has two less cards in her opening hand, but that problem is mitigated by double Studious. We’ve managed to navigate the entire campaign so far without trauma and Ursula’s deck is decently upgraded, so we should be able to succeed in spite of Alejandro and his cultists. However, if it comes to it, Ursula will find it more difficult to surrender to the Yithians, because Pnakotus is going to be hidden among more numerous locations and the exploration deck itself is going to be constantly refilled with encounters. We’ll see. Still, I get the feeling that the further into the campaign the less impactful the Return variant becomes. It’s not a bad thing, because the final two scenarios needed the fewest improvements.

Ursula’s already at the Pocket! Excellent. No allies so far, so it’s entirely possible our wayfarer is going to finish the scenario alone. Could it be the friends she made along the way were lost in the dark? So far we can confirm the fate of Dr. Maleson, as both his copies discarded to Merging Timelines alongside Pathfinder. Hmmm… perhaps confirm is too optimistic. But we can at least speculate that Maleson had in fact never joined our adventure and is still working on his time machine back in Arkham. Yup, his “something big” is definitely a time machine.

That Elder Sign in round #5 is decisive! Notice that combined with Shortcut it provides Ursula with two additional turns free of Temporal Devourer and Alejandro Vela. I want to squeeze as much value as I can out of those turns and because of that I took the attacks and the weakness directly on Ursula’s chin. Once again she’s at her last point of sanity. Thankfully, the exploration deck cooperates to hitherto unseen extent. We’ve had five successful explorations with not one encounter card. So, at the moment Ursula doesn’t need to explore anymore. She’s two clues and one mending away from the finish line.
