Browsing the shelves, you come across a few items that look like they might be useful.  They are: Enchanted Knife, Flute of the Outer Gods, and Lamp of Alhazred.

A monster appears!  It is an Elder Thing.

<Cidward> SURPRISE MONSTER.
<Cidward> I may as well roll now.
<Cidward> Fight is at 4, I get +1 from the skill, and +4 from the shotgun. Need 2 successes. Let us hope Hatbot is amenable to providing me with a statistically average roll.
<Cidward> Oh, the shotgun's "6s count as two successes" thing--does that count for all rolls involved in the combat check, or just the four granted by the shotgun's bonus?
<RandomConsonant> All rolls
<Smashy> All of em
<Cidward> Whee.
<Cidward> Okay, here we go:
<Smashy> So yeah, You Win on a 6
<Cidward> roll 9d6 BOOMSTICK

[Yakumo]

There were still more strange rumors circulating around Arkham, but unlike the story of the Strangler, this one seemed to have no basis in fact.

The Stars are Right
Rumor - As there is already a rumor in play the text of this card is ignored.

A gate opens at the Science Building.  A Shoggoth and Proto-Shoggoth emerge.
No monsters move.

Professor Armitage was found dead, the most recent victim of the Southside Strangler.
Harvey's draw from the dust deck:

Deadline will be midnight EST on Thursday.

Hank Samson wastes no time, only shoggoths.

<Cidward> In that case, I am going to demonstrate the fine distinction between bravery and suicidal stupidity by attacking the shoggoth doubleteam.
<xorntoro-broked> Fearlessly.
<Cidward> 7 dice + shotgun + doubled clue dice if necessary, hopefully this suffices.
<Cidward> (Well, 7 for shoggoth, 8 for proto.)
* xorntoro-broked nods.
<Cidward> So yeah, proto first, sliding fight to max gives me 5 + 1 from skill, +2 from halved boomstick.
<Cidward> Here we go!

Arkham Encounters

Strago/Harvey Walters
------------
You find a man painting a picture on one of the horrible gargoyles lining the walls of the graveyard. Seeing you, he introduces himself as Richard Upton Pickman, a painter visiting from Boston. If you spend monster trophies that have a total of 5 toughness, Pickman takes a liking to you. Take his Ally card. If it is not available, he teaches you an incantation instead. Draw 1 Spell.

Gatewalker/Gloria Goldberg
------------
Pay a $3 fee to gain access to the private library. If you refuse, move to the street. If you pay, make a Luck (-1) check. If you pass, you learn an ancient spell from a dusty ledger. Draw 1 Spell. If you fail, you doze off and enter The Dreamlands. Have an encounter there, then immediately return here.

Jo'ou Ranbu/Darrell Simmons
------------
A Sheldon Gang member tries to rob you.  Make a Fight(-1) check.  If you fail, lose 1 item of your choice.  If you pass, you rob him instead.  Gain $3.

-or-

A gate and a monster appear!


Other World Encounters

El Cideon/Hank Samson

You drink impure water from the River Kra.  Pass a Luck(-1) check or lose 1 Stamina and stay here next turn due to illness.

I don't have enough trophies to gain Pickman's friendship. Sad.

[01:22] <Mari> Snow, my kitty has got in the bad habit of thinking that biting people is a proper way to display affection and I blame you for this.

Private Security Hired in Uptown!
All monsters in the Uptown streets or locations are returned to the cup.

A gate opens at the Woods, sending Darrell on a trip to the Abyss.  A Lloigor and a Mi-Go are spawned.
A clue falls into Gloria's lap at the Historical Society.
Circle monsters move, the Mi-Go at the Woods flies off before the card text takes effect.  The Lloigor is returned to the cup.

The Southside Strangler visited Ruby Standish last night.

Luke drops a little hints to the feds that THERE'S AN EVIL MONSTER HERE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and then tiptoes around the Dark Young.  Very slowly, since he only gets to the streets.

[20:00:15] <Smashy> ANYWAYS
[20:00:49] <Strago|Harvey> If you're going to fight them, I'll hop over to the Silver Twilight Lodge, I think.
[20:00:53] <Smashy> I kinda planned to sneak past that Dark Young, so let us try that
[20:01:10] <RandomConsonant> Right.
[20:01:41] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> So.
[20:01:51] <Smashy> Speed/Sneak to the left one so I have 3 Sneak, first off
[20:01:55] <Hello-StrawmanthedralWaddleDee> I'm just going to wander around in a WA3 aftergame dungeon this turn?
[20:01:58] <Strago|Harvey> Anyway, I say kill them. Why play it safe right now?
[20:01:59] <Cid_Samson> Huh, Abyss sounds nasty.
[20:02:11] <Cid_Samson> Too bad someone with an elder sign didn't get sucked in there.
[20:02:11] <Smashy> Meh
[20:02:14] * RandomConsonant shrugs, okay then
[20:02:30] <Smashy> Would rather not have to take an encounter at the Order of Dagon if possible
[20:02:59] <Smashy> ANYWAYS
[20:03:00] <Yakumo> Also if you were still planning to put a clue on the Feds track remember that's an upkeep action.
[20:03:11] <Smashy> ... Well then
[20:03:30] <Smashy> Yeah, I'll drop my clue to fill up Church Green's Fed track
[20:04:19] <Gate-viciouscycle> -_-
[20:04:20] <Smashy> Assuming it's possible to do from the order of dagon.  Otherwise... meh
[20:04:25] <Gate-viciouscycle> Two gates in my move range
[20:04:30] <Gate-viciouscycle> they both already have someone in them
[20:04:35] <Smashy> ANYWAYSSSSSSSSSSSS
[20:04:35] <Gate-viciouscycle> -_____-
[20:04:40] <RandomConsonant> I know.
[20:04:42] <RandomConsonant> It is sad.
[20:05:03] * Gate-viciouscycle has uber clues, an Elder Sign and a unique power that is prime for gate crashing. And yet.
[20:05:10] <Smashy> 3 Sneak + 1 skill - 2 awareness.  I fail I go straight to the hospital in a pile of gj
[20:05:55] <Cid_Samson> It's sad that we're doing really well? >.>
[20:06:04] <Smashy> 2d6 to not wake Daddy.  And by Daddy I mean horrible monster
[20:06:05] * Hatbot --> "Smashy rolls 2d6 to not wake Daddy. And by Daddy I mean horrible monster and gets 11." [2d6=5, 6]
[20:06:13] <Strago|Harvey> Damn. Smooth.
[20:06:19] <Gate-viciouscycle> nice
[20:06:24] <RandomConsonant> Heh.
[20:06:34] <Yakumo> It's sad that the game is basically rolling over and waiting for you to kill it. >_>
[20:06:54] <Smashy> And I move onto Church Green's streets so we can ignore him and the order of dagon for a while
