A Touch of Evil not seeing table time?

[zombie67]

We tend to play 50/50 between LNoE & AToE and thoroughly enjoy both games.

We played AToE tonight and lost due to the Shadowtrack reaching 0. We were playing against the Dryad, with Inspector Cooke and Karl, the soldier. We both needed to train our Cunning and Spirit to total above 8 to beat the Dryad's Sorceress ability (making anyone with a total less than 8 have to roll a natural 6 to hit) which took some time due to bad rolls. Then very early on we drew the Mystery card which makes the Shadowtrack move 1 step each Mystery phase (can't remember the card name) and it took us ages to get an event card which could cancel it.

At the end, we had 2 steps left on the Shadowtrack, and I playing as Cooke was all tooled up ready for the showdown and needed to get a 5 to move to my laircard (the Olde Woods) but rolled a 3 and then the bloody Mystery card I turned over moved the Shadowtrack 2 steps.....D'Oh!!!

Ah well....we had great fun trying!!!
