This deck was built to be played in conjunction with Soldiers of the Church: Father Mateo.

Zoey's deck is very much prioritizing theme over efficiency. There are no firearms at all in this deck but she is none the less the dedicated fighter in this pairing. Shoutout to Heyenzzz, whose deck Zoey Samaras: The Stabbing Chef was the inspiration for this one.

Mulligan for either a weapon or an ally. Zoey will primarily be fighting, with Evidence! and Scene of the Crime being the only real methods she has for finding clues.

Upgrades

• Charisma (3xp)
• Beat Cop -> Beat Cop x2 (4xp)
• Heroic Rescue -> Stand Together x2 (6xp)
• Vicious Blow -> Vicious Blow x2 (4xp)
• First Aid -> First Aid (3xp)
• "I'll see you in hell!" -> Monster Slayer x2 (10xp)

Charisma allows you to get both your allies out at the same time, while Stand Together boosts your money making capabilities. The upgraded Emergency Cache and Keen Eye are also options worth considering instead of Monster Slayer.

Campaign Notes: Dunwich

Note: Played through with the deck Soldiers of the Church: Father Mateo. Zoey's random basic weakness was Hypochondria. No major spoilers are present below. Encounter card spoilers are linked to rather than explicitly named.

Notes on Scenario 1a: Extracurricular Activity

Resolution 3 was reached. 7xp was earned. We ended up going through almost the entirety of the encounter deck, which resulted in us killing all but one encounter monster that offered experience. One experience was earned from fully investigated the location that gave experience for doing so. Two additional experience came from Father Mateo playing two copies of Delve Too Deep.

Zoey killed pretty much every monster than spawned with Machete and Kukri. Leo De Luca made an early appearance and allowed for additional actions to be spent moving and keeping up with Father Mateo as he investigated. Two enemies were ignored completely after spawning back to back in a location and it was decided to just declare that location condemned.

• With the 7xp earned, Charisma was purchased and both copies of Beat Cop were upgraded to Beat Cop.

Notes on Scenario 1b: The House Always Wins

Resolution 3 was reached. 2xp was earned. Incredibly tight finish with the investigators being one turn away from the agenda completing. Both investigators were one hit away from losing via physical trauma. Both Beat Cop and Leo De Luca were in play together at one point but both ended up getting killed by the end thanks to the numerous enemies that kept popping up. Zoey narrowly evaded an enemy on her last turn in order to successfully complete the scenario. Cheating occurred but we realized early on there was no other way we could have finished.

• With 2xp earned, upgraded one copy of Vicious Blow to Vicious Blow.

Notes on Scenario 2: The Miskatonic Museum

Mateo was defeated by damage, Zoey resigned. 4xp earned. Mateo had some incredibly bad luck which significantly slowed down investigating, and Zoey was not able to help on that front. Zoey was able to keep up with the enemies throughout. In the end there were four clues left at a location with a shroud value one above Zoey's intellect when Mateo died. Zoey killed the Serpents of Yig Mateo left and made a dash for the exit.

• 4xp earned. Bought Keen Eye. One experience left over.
