Eric Colt's Ally card is availible.

Kate Winthrop - Train Station
Bill Washington moves the last of the baggage from his cart onto a truck and offers you a ride as he opens the driver's door. If you accept, move to any location or street area in Arkham. If you move to a location, immediately have an encounter there.

Vincent will go slightly nutty listening to craaaaaaaazy stories and invite Eric Colt along.  Also Soppy cleared a trade that I had suggested to Tal before the phase change but we hadn't finalized, so he's also getting my Research Materials. 

In case Soppy doesn't mention it in here, he said he's only allowing it this first turn, from now on if trades aren't specifically noted as being completed before he updates they didn't happen.  Notes saying 'so-and-so can take this' don't count, you have to specifically say it's been given.

[Hunter Sopko]

Tal:

A weathered man comes up to you as you approach the Gardners' house. Introducing himself as Ammi Pierce, he tells you that it might be wise to steer clear of the house right now, and asks if you might have anything that might help the family's strange affliction. If you discard 1 Unique Item, Ammi joins you in gratitude. Take his Ally card if it's available. If it is not, remove 1 Dunwich Horror token from the board.
