4) Cards for encounters.
I always have my tommy gun, right?
4) Buy items?

Nope.

In these troubled times Jenkins would be the only one looking out for him. And how better to do that than to stock up on some goods, after seeing what the General Store had to offer he was thinking off visiting Hibb at his roadhouse.

Arkham might be in fatal peril but that doesn't mean Bob has to look like a slop. That cloak looks both useful and mighty sexy. Not finding anything worth his money anymore he decided it was too late to drop by Hibbs place so he set out for the Curiosity Shop he heard so much about. He had a feeling he could but his money to good use there.

Change lore/luck to 3-1
Making his way through the streets Jenkins was careful to not bump into any unpleasant surprises he wanted to get to the Curiosity shop as fast as possible moderately sure he'd have money to buy something if it turned out to be useful to him. Thanks to his new Cloak he melted into the shadows.

Stats remain unchanged.
Shaking her hand, the psychiatrist did her best to comfort her mind and found that she was able to shake away her fears at having been bitten. Whatever had done it was too small to truly cause her problems, otherwise it would have attacked in full force. ((Restore sanity by 1 point))
Move me to The Woods after that.
