This deck started as the "A Skilled Detective" deck from Ian_MB. https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/180/a-skilled-detective-1.0
I used the following upgrade path to make sure the third scenario was "winnable".
Use 6 of 7 xp gained in The Gathering to upgrade your 2x Magnifying Glass and 2x Beat Cop.
Use all 9 xp after Midnight Masks to add in 2x Shotgun in place of the 2x .45 Automatic and a second Dynamite Blast in place of the First Aid. I still think it's viable to leave out the second Dynamite Blast until the third scenario as it's a pretty bad second draw in the first two.
I was able to reach the R2 resolution of the Devourer Below by using a Dynamite Blast, Dodge, Shotgun, and Beat Cop to deal 10 damage over two turns and avoid an attack from the boss. Although the attack would not have killed me it just gave me a little more breathing room in case something went wrong.
