It began with a murder. It would not have been that odd in this town, if it weren't for the method. The victim? He'd turned to dust. Just disintegrated right out of his clothes. Rumors started going around about withcraft before we could stop them. We weren't sure if we wanted to. Something was going on. All we could hope was that God would have mercy on our souls.

Now One Can Help You Now
Environment (Mystic)
Gate Opens: The Unnamable
Clue Appears: The Woods

Gates cannot be sealed, although they can still be closed.

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT: No One Can Help You Now

Finn gets slowed down a little attempting to read the Cabala of Saboth. Doesn't get anything out of it, this time. Pity. So he heads to Administration to buy some larnin'. Eight dollars for a new Skill, please. Oh, also I defaulted on my Bank Loan and can never get another one. But I'm Finn, so I don't actually lose all my possessions. Fun.

It wasn't much, but there was definitely a certain tension in the air.

Gathering Storm!
Headline
Gate Opens: Devil Reef
Clue Appears: The Esoteric Order of Dagon
Monster Movement: Moon White, Cross Black

The situation in Innsmouth continues to worsen. Add one token to the Deep One's Rising track.

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT: No One Can Help You Now
CURRENT RUMOR: None

Do you draw a card from the Dust Deck, Sopko? Or do you spend the clues?

Tommy Muldoon

Special Abilities:

Hero - Mythos Phase: Before a mythos card is drawn, Tommy may make one or more monsters adjacent to his location move to his location, regardless of their normal movement.

On The Force - Any Phase: Tommy can never be arrested.  In addition, it only costs him 1 gate trophy or 5 toughness worth of monster trophies to become Deputy of Arkham.

Stats:

Sanity: 5/6
Stamina: 3/4

Speed: 1 2 3 [4] [+1]
Sneak: 3 2 1 [zero]

Fight: 2 3 4 [5]
Will: 4 3 2 [1]

Lore: zero 1 [2] 3
Luck: 6 5 [4] 3

Focus: 1

Inventory:
$2 (may be traded to Finn/Strago)
0 Clue Tokens
Rifle (2H Weapon, +5 Physical Combat, $6)
Speed Skill (+1 Speed, Clue Tokens spent on Speed checks yield an extra die)
1 Monster Trophy (Byakhee, total toughness: 1)

Personal Story:
Pass: Become devoured (obviously not yet fufilled)
Fail: Terror Level reaches 5 (0/5)

Tommy walks up to The Unnamable and busts up some otherworldly ne'er-do-wells, offering his $2 to Strago/Finn should he pass him by in the streets.  He succeeds in taking a bite out of crime, but is left with naught but his trusty rifle as he plunges into the Plateau of Leng.

[21:27] * RandomConsonant looks at the current turn of events
[21:27] <RandomConsonant> Well this is mildly unpleasant
[21:27] <PamelaIbis> Quite.
[21:29] <PamelaIbis> You're going into the gate at The Unnamable?
[21:29] <RandomConsonant> Most likely
[21:30] <PamelaIbis> Hm, okay.
[21:32] <RandomConsonant>Gonna toss Finn my $2 on the way if he wants to get to Innsmouth, though someone else is probably going to have to handle the gate at Devil's Reef
[21:32] <RandomConsonant> Because hey, not like I need money where I'm goin'.
[21:33] <RandomConsonant> At any rate, time to lay down THE LAW
[21:34] <Soppy-ClearGenderRoles> Leave a clue on the board for me next turn, I'll be able to pass my PS
[21:34] <RandomConsonant> Well.
[21:34] <Soppy-ClearGenderRoles> Well, one I can reach.
[21:34] <RandomConsonant> If I die, you get five clues is what I'm thinking.
[21:34] <RandomConsonant> Though we'll burn that bridge if we come to it.
[21:34] <Soppy-ClearGenderRoles> I'm already at 4. I just need 1 more
[21:35] <RandomConsonant> Anyways, first, the Byakhee.
[21:35] <RandomConsonant> Can't pass Horror, -1 San for me.
[21:35] <RandomConsonant> 10 dice against its one toughness
[21:36] <RandomConsonant> roll 10d6 to enforce flying regulations
[21:36] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 10d6 to enforce flying regulations and gets 37." [10d6=1, 2, 5, 6, 6, 1, 5, 3, 4, 4]
[21:36] <RandomConsonant> Byakhee is downed, on to the Servitor.
[21:36] <PamelaIbis> Who is best fit to take on that gate?
[21:36] <PamelaIbis> Splatted.
[21:36] <RandomConsonant> Again, can't pass Horror, discarding Obsidian Statue to prevent the sanity damage.
[21:37] <RandomConsonant> Its prowess gives me 8 dice against its three toughness, and I have two clues
[21:37] <RandomConsonant> roll 8d6 to enforce immigration laws
[21:37] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 8d6 to enforce immigration laws and gets 25." [8d6=2, 4, 5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 6]
[21:37] <RandomConsonant> roll 1d6 for clue the first
[21:37] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 1d6 for clue the first and gets 1." [1d6=1]
[21:37] <RandomConsonant> roll 1d6 for clue the second
[21:37] <Hatbot> 0x01ACTION --> "RandomConsonant rolls 1d6 for clue the second and gets 5." [1d6=5]
[21:37] <RandomConsonant> Barely, but I live.
[21:37] <RandomConsonant> Into the gate I go~
[21:38] <PamelaIbis> Yay~

Finn will go ahead and use his special ability to move in to the Miskatonic U. Streets during the Mythos phase. He will pass Tommy Muldoon in the streets on his way to the Train Station, where he will pay the requisite $1 for a business-class seat to Innsmouth. He will use his remaining movement to mosey over to the Esoteric Order of Dagon and pick up the two Clues someone left lying around.
