Give Jack $2 for saving me from the ghost, sneak-sneak-sneak out into the street, and end up at the Hospital since Amanda took the Historical Society clues.
Puts me at Move 2 (3) / Sneak 2 (3), Fight 1 (6), Will 4, Luck 3, Lore 3 with $5 and 4 clue tokens. I'll use the Hospital for my Encounter, so it's $3 now.
Hopefully, the gate at the Unvisited Isle is going to close, so those monsters would get pulled back through.
So, I'm not gonna lie. I don't have the slightest clue of what I should be doing. The only thing I'm thinking of is making my way to the magic shop to try and get some spells so I can use my brain to murder things. I'm open to other ideas, though.

You've got Harvey? You should be getting ahold of a murder-spell of some kind and doing what Jack's doing, but versus high-sanity-loss guys. Normally Harvey's a great gate-closing dude from the giant Lore but we've got Gloria, so you're our second choice.

Encounters:
Gloria gets healthy! Full Stamina.
Harvey's in the Streets. No encounter.
@mi-go hunter Jenny may choose to help an Anthropology professor and his students decipher an ancient stone tablet. If so, make a Lore(-2) check. If you succeed, you correctly interpret it, and draw one Spell. If you fail, you mispronounce a word, and are Cursed.
Will Jenny attempt to be a scholar?
@Kaneski Jack is bushwhacked by the Sheldon gang! Make a Luck(-1) check to avoid their trap. If you fail, lose 2 items of your choice and 2 stamina.
Can Jack avoid the ambush?
@Mr. Mojo Risin The Society members are birdwatching in the Woods. The janitor offers you a ride there. If you accept, move to the Woods and draw 2 cards, encountering one and discarding the other.
Will Amanda head to the Woods? (Note: She will have to Sneak past or Fight the Cthonian there if so)
Other World Encounters:
@Faraz The Stars are Right: The OW Encounter deck is shuffled.
Pass a Luck(-1) check or the book you were reading is a prison. If you fail, roll a die. On a failure, a monster appears from the book. On a success, you are drawn into the book for a time. Stay here next turn.
Can Carolyn avoid the literary trap?

Mythos:
A Gate appears at Hibbs Roadhouse! The Doom track is at 5/13. A clue is placed at Independence Square.
A Cultist and a Ghoul appear. Both Cultists on the board move to the Sky.
The Elder Thing claimed by Harvey Walters springs back to life at the River Docks. The monster limit is reached!
4/6 GATES ARE OPEN.
Board:
Player order: Gloria - Harvey - Jenny - Jack - Amanda - Carolyn
So I'll be exiting at the Unvisited Isle next turn. Not sure if anything can be done about those two monsters there.
Upkeep: Heal 1 sanity
Speed/Sneak: 2/1
Fight/Will: 3/2
Lore/Luck: 5/2
Move on.

Anyone else want the Witch House gate? If not, I'll bump my speed up and hustle over there.

No takers?
Gloria heads to the Witch House. Adjust Speed to 3(4) and Sneak to 1 (2), walk to the Witch House, and throw my Mists of Releh and Shrivelling (Didn't even remember I had that, or I'd have tried it on the Ghost) to Harvey on the way. I'll take Enchant Weapon if @Capfalcon is amenable? Either way, you can now use Lore for stealth, so crank that speed up, old man!
I'm at work so can't move yet but why do you guys think would be most beneficial for me to do. I'm having a tough time deciding!

Well there will be an increase in terror unless at least one more monster is killed, and if there's a surge, it'll go up by two. So if you think you can kill monsters, that might be helpful.

Encounters:
Monterey Jack gets healthy!
@Capfalcon Harvey Walters begins to peruse magical tomes for sale. He pays the last of his cash reserves, and gets to keep either a second Shrivelling or Bind Monster.
Amanda is in the streets. No encounter.
@mi-go hunter Jenny bumps into Abner Weems, the local drunk. She helps him find a place to sleep for the night, and he mumbles something over and over. Make a Luck(-1) check. If you pass, his mumbling is a magical chant. Draw 1 Spell. If you fail, nothing happens.
Can Jenny pull some magic out of thin air?
OW Encounters:
@Auralynx Gloria runs for the boat. Pass a Speed(-1) [2] check to reach it in time. If you do, you escape with vital information. Gain 5 clue tokens. If you fail, stay here next turn, hiding from your pursuer.
Can Gloria catch the boat?
@Faraz Carolyn comes across a wizened old creature who debates with her for some time. If you pass a Lore(-1) check, the creature is amused by your discussion and you are Blessed.
Can Carolyn appease the mystical Yoda?

Can do the same thing I did for Gloria - shut the gate down and stay put. I should make it there at the start of next turn to free you up.
Upkeep - heal 1 sanity from Healing Stone
Do not adjust Sliders
Attempt to move to St Mary's hospital, by sneaking past Chthonian.
Geth roll 3d6t5 for SneakySneaky
