I think I still have to pay costs, as it says on my sheet.
What would be the point of the loan card if I didn't have to?
Let's see, the effect says:
Upkeep: Roll a die. On a 1-3, pay $1 OR discard all of your items along with this card. You cannot get another Bank Loan this game.
So you can choose not to pay $1 and discard all your items. BUT you can't lose any items or money so you can discard the Bank Loan without suffering any loss. The only reason you have one to begin with is so that you won't abuse your ability by getting free money from the bank by taking a loan.
Again no upkeep. Can I hop out onto the Innsmouth board before Finn seals the gate?
Also, does the second gate to Yuggoth disappear when Finn seals the first one, or can I attempt to seal the one here in this weird fish-smelling shanty town I've landed in?
Gates are all independent, so Finn sealing one gate to wherever you are has no effect on the other gate. He also doesn't seal it until the Encounters phase, so you move before he seals. Given Finn popped out in Innsmouth, you're probably better off popping out at the Unvisited Isle and trying to close that one. Got to keep the number of open gates down and all.
Tri-Optimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas. Just 1 extra work cycle twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one.
Just sit on it and try again next turn. As long as you don't move away you won't get sucked back through.

ARKHAM ENCOUNTERS:
Finn Edwards in Marsh Refinery: @stever777 uses the power of the Elder Sign to seal the gate! He collects the Yuggoth gate trophy, the Byakhee in the Sky is returned to the monster cup, and the doom track is now at 4/11. 5 more elder signs are needed to win.
"Ashcan" Pete in Unvisited Isle:
Unfortunately he must attempt to seal the gate next turn...
Norman Withers in the Woods:
You come across a cringing dog. Pass a Speed (-2) check to catch and calm him. If you have Food, you can discard that to automatically pass the check instead of rolling. You see by his collar that he is named Duke. Take his Ally card. If it isn't available, gain $3 as a reward for returning him to his owner, instead.
Can @Psycholarry1 earn a nice reward? (Duke is already under the possession of Pete)
Zoey Samaras in the Unnamable:
A gleam of metal draws your attention to the fireplace, which suddenly ignites! You may attempt a Speed (-3) check to pull an item from the fire before it is destroyed. If you pass, draw 1 Unique Item. If you attempt it and fail, lose 1 Stamina.
Will @Chrysis reach her hand into the fire?
OW ENCOUNTERS:
Daisy Walker in Another Dimension Area 1:
You come across a slaughtered creature. Pass a Luck (-1) check to claim a monster trophy from the cup (even if it is Endless) and gain 2 Clue tokens.
What can @Daemonis glean from the body?
Tommy Muldoon in Plateau of Leng Area 1:
The villagers leap around a bonfire on the hoary plain. Pass a Sneak (-1) check or you are captured and subjected to terrible rites. Lose 3 Sanity and 3 Stamina, then stay here next turn. @Faraz must avoid the cruelest torture.
Tri-Optimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas. Just 1 extra work cycle twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one.
Upkeep: Shift Speed/Sneak to 3/2.
Movement: Stand up and swear.
Bring it on Dreamlands, I've got magical chalk dust now.

ARKHAM ENCOUNTERS:
Finn Edwards at the Esoteric Order of Dagon:
The Head of the Order, Robert Marsh, has caught you snooping around! Make a Will (-1) check. If you pass, you endure the encounter unharmed. If not, you are Cursed. @stever777 must resist his foul presence.
"Ashcan" Pete in the Unvisited Isle: @Tayrun successfully closes the gate and claims it as a trophy! The gate limit is now at 4/6.
OW ENCOUNTERS:
Tommy Muldoon in Plateau of Leng Area 1:
A vast stirring rumbles through the plateau. Pass a Sneak (+0) check or roll a die and lose that much Stamina.
Is this the final blow for @Faraz?
Zoey Samaras in Dreamlands Area 1:
Make a Luck (-1) check. If you pass, then, waving goodbye, the happy villagers bestow a gift upon you. Draw 1 Common Item. @Chrysis's journey is pleasant so far...
Daisy Walker in Another Dimension Area 2:
Carefully, you avoid the gaze of a gigantic eye watching an alter. You may try to pass a Sneak (-1) check to steal a scroll from the dais. Draw 1 Spell. If you fail, you are racked by pain and lose 3 Sanity. @Daemonis may try to test her luck.
Apparently being a serial killer puts people off. No loot for Zoey. Oh well, that would have been nice.

I'll dump it then.
The Black Hole of Cygnus X-1
Movement: I'll keep ambling about, and investigate the Woods
Move to the Black Cave and engage the ghoul:
Horror Check: Success
Combat Check: Success
I'll then jump into the gate.
I have 5 clues so I'll try sealing that one.
Also, does the second gate to Yuggoth disappear when Finn seals the first one, or can I attempt to seal the one here in this weird fish-smelling shanty town I've landed in?
Movement: Move to the Unnameable. Grab the clue token.
I need to find a weapon, or just accumulate tokens and go gate diving.

Yeah, from this post, I figured you were going to the UI.

Okay, attempting to close Yuggoth gate at the Unvisited Isle.
> Fight check: Fight (4) + Yuggoth (-2) = 2 dice. Whoo.
2 dice: Fail.
Spend Research Materials.
1 die: Fail.
Spend 1 clue token.
1 die: Fail.
Welp. Down to five clue tokens now.
Before I spend one and hence become unable to seal this gate, does anyone want to chime in with a reroll ability or anything?

Nothing can go wrong if you're stuck in another world for 2 turns with 1 stamina, right?
The sickening sense of dread seized the town.
A gate to the Dreamlands opens in the Unnamable! @Chrysis is drawn into the gate and delayed!
A Star Spawn and a Deep One appear and move to Merchant District Streets!

Well, at least it's closed now.
Now to head to the Asylum to recover from this extraplanar jaunt.
