Quote[]

"I took an oath to enforce the law. That's what I'm doing."

Bio[]

Most members of the Muldoon family are part of the Boston police force in some way or another. Not long ago, the youngest brother Tommy got his badge. Armed with an eye for detail, fierce courage, and his trusty rifle Becky, young Muldoon is dedicated to law enforcement. Now he finds himself in Anchorage at the request of his cousin, the local sheriff. Something has been killing people, and off the record, his cousin says it's a wendigo. Tommy's not sure he believes any of that, but catching killers is in his blood.

Defeated Encounters[]

Loss of Health

IN CASE OF CRIPPLING INJURY OR DEATH 
Tommy's equipment is in his hotel, but no one has seen him for days. Gain all of his possessions. You try to pick up the threads of his investigation (Observation). If you pass, you find Tommy tied up in a warehouse, beaten to within an inch of his life, and you get him back to his family in Boston to care for him; retreat Doom Doom by 1. If you fail, Muldoon never turns up. Whether you pass or not, discard his Investigator token.

Loss of Sanity

IN CASE OF INSANITY OR OTHER PSYCHOSIS 
Tommy tells you he's fine, but his tremors tell you a different story. He offers you his investigation notes. Discard all of his possessions and retreat Doom Doom by 1. You try to convince him that he has to give up the investigation (Influence). If you pass, he accepts the truth and turns his beloved Becky over to you; gain 1 Carbine Rifle Asset. If you fail, he won't stop investigating, and his body is found a few days later. Whether you pass or not, discard his Investigator token.

Team Role[]

Tommy functions very much like a well-rounded semi-support combat class. Having an initial +1 to Willpower, Tommy's extra stat point gives him a stat advantage over most other investigators at the start of the game. His investigator action allows him to draw monsters away from gates or other spaces using an action, which gives him the ability to pull those monsters away from other investigators if he wasn't able to reach that space with his normal movement, or alternatively, his passive allows other investigators ignore them completely if they share a space with him.

His well-rounded stats allow him to fend for himself in most situations. He is able to furnish his inventory with weapons to supplement Becky, and pad his stats further, so he isn't shoehorned into a combat role. This allows him to easily complete research encounters, rumors, and expeditions.

Origin[]

Tommy Muldoon made his first appearance in 2009 in Innsmouth Horror, the 6th expansion for Arkham Horror: Second Edition.
