Only one each - which is why there are only 8 copies in the game (1 for each player up to the maximum of 8 players)


There is some debate on whether you even need to make the horror check. But yes, one suffices and the rest are defeated after a successful combat check.


Without the Flute, yes, each monster has it's own horror check (unless otherwise noted on the monster).


Correct. You can take all 3 at the same time. Basically, it is giving you +3 stamina temporarily.


Correct. You can only use it once as it is discarded - so it won't carry over into multiple rounds.


Your choice. As long as you devote hands to it, you do not have to recast it (unless otherwise stated). But as soon as you "let go" then you can no longer use that spell. And since it is exhausted, the only way to cast it again is to have a 2n copy of it (or refresh it in upkeep at the start of the next turn).

The delay effect forces you to have two encounters in the other world. Since other world encounters occur after movement phase, you would not be delayed. You are delayed in cases like being sent into another world during the mythos phase. Since mythos is after outer world encounters and is he last phase, if you were not delayed, you would immediately move to the second location of he outer world after the upkeep phase.

Also, if I already teleported using deputy wagon, can I still use some other card (I think tome) which says that I can exhaust 2 movement points to do something else? Or is it that having done my teleport, have I exhausted my movements points irrespective of my speed slider.

Final question hopefully Does LiTaS automatically cause you lose half your cards or only if you become insane/unconscious in OW? Because some encounters may also cause one to be LiTaS

But if you are drawn through a gate in Arkham encounter phase, you are delayed and since it comes before OW phase, you are actually forced to draw 3 OW encounters. So, I was wondering if the same needs to be done here.

Oh and I forgot to ask one important thing-
Before the first round of final battle,am I allowed to completely reset my skills to whatever I want or is it still based on my Focus? Rule book seems to indicate former but is not explicit. For remaining rounds, I presume you can only adjust according to Focus, correct?

And with regards to point 12 in the following:
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/605472/a-newbie-faq-21-t...

After I finish my horror check,can I cast my spell and decide whether to flee or fight based on the failure/success on my casting? The original post doesn't seem to be explicit on this.

Thanks again all you guys. So let me get the thing about spells crystal clear- Once you successfully cast a spell, it stays cast (i.e. for multiple combat checks against one monster) as long as you devote required number of hands, even if it says exhaust. It only exhausts at the end of the multiple combat rounds and we have to fight another monster. Basically, the exhaust is only to prevent us from using it against multiple monsters at a location, correct?

Now,I don't remember if there are any spells which DON'T give combat checks until end of combat i.e are there any spells which are NOT in the following category -
Cast and exhaust to gain +X to Combat checks until the end of this combat.?

Once you have done a horror check, that is indicative that you have started the combat. So you have to go through one round of fighting. Evading/fleeing has to happen before you do the next round of combat.
