From Curt: Carolyn Fern: 'The Psychologist' for Sarah's Balloon (5 Points)


I need to book a journey on Sarah's Balloon to O'Grady's Gulch so I present to you all another heroine of 'Mansions of Madness', Carolyn Fern: The Psychologist.



Carolyn is a fairly powerful support character in the game, having the ability to heal the sanity of both other characters and herself. It's a super handy skill, especially in setting where going bananas is a constant threat (if not an inevitability).  

The miniature of her is fairly good, only needing a little careful cleanup of mold lines in a few spots. Again, I stuck to the game card art, giving her a blue blouse and red hair. I thought a nice neutral grey would be good for her pencil skirt, with oxblood high boots for a splash of colour.


I think Sarah (and Tamsin!) will especially like Carolyn as she uses her wits to help her fellow investigators and is a hot redhead. :)

This should pip me 5 points and, after a glass of champagne with our lovely aeronaut,  allow me to set down on O'Grady's Gulch.

Cheers!





What a lovely redhead she is, Curt. Whilst she may be helpful for curing insanity in the mansions, I sadly fear that she has little hope of curing the insanity of us Challengers. 

Just in case anyone is wondering why this is only being scored as 5 points, you only get the 30 bonus points for your first balloon ride.

  4. Another creat figure Curt, I believe I’ve played her on occasion. Does she have the spells to repel the sandbagging were-badger?

    1. Thanks Peter. Unfortunately not, I think the only thing that can defeat that abomination is an thrice-blessed Elder Sign. :)

  5. Lady Sarah’s Balloon Service is pleased to have provided a safe and pleasant journey to O’Grady’s Gulch.
    As a reminder to all Balloon passengers; Lady Sarah has instituted a Frequent Flyer Programme. Every three flights with the Balloon Service is worth an additional 10 points.
    Also, as champagne is traditionally drunk after the completion of a flight, when a challenger posts their female figure and a glass of champagne, Prosecco, sparkling cider ( alcoholic or non -alcoholic) you will gain an extra 5points. Cheers!🥂

  6. Who doesn't appreciate a hot redhead?

    Your single figure work is always quite snazzy, and the clear bases are flawless.

  11. Very nice indeed, I'm a bog fan of the Cthulu boardgames too, but we never seem to get around to painting ours so really nice to see them done this well!
