Preston Fairmont - Solo Return to The Unspeakable Oath

Spoiler Warning

Return to the Path of Carcosa solo (Standard difficulty):
Disclaimer: semi-blind run - several decisions within the game as well as in deck-building is done with prior knowledge of the Campaign in mind.
Though this is my first run on Return and with Preston Fairmont.

Upgrades:
Ornate Bow probably required to deal with the many, many enemies in the Unspeakable Oath.
Replaced 2x Meat Cleavers
Found that I've never used Trial by Fire much, hence dropped it for Quick Thinking

Return to The Unspeakable Oath:

Summary:
Should have remembered to go investigate the Garden and Yard instead of the Mess Hall and Kitchen, would have made my life easier when I played Elusive to teleport back.
Full werewolf transformation on turn 5 (Monstrous Transformation & Curse of the Rougarou) was both hilarious and scary at the same time.
Thought I was done for when The Sign of Hastur was drawn on turn 11, but luckily managed to survive it.
This deck would never have survived with taboo on.
