Connection dependent cards give you some reward or event in exchange for or because of your level in the Connected score that you have with some group. There are several kinds of connection dependent cards.

  • Faction Cards These cards offer you an increase in a major Quality in exchange for lowering the value of your Connected score, a reward for being Closest To them, help in solving cases, and Tier 1 Professions.
  • Conflict Cards These cards offer you a choice between two opposed factions that you are connected to. Selecting one side or the other results in a major drop in your Connected with the betrayed faction, and a slight rise with the other.
  • Event Cards These cards not only provide a benefit to a major Quality but also some other rewards. (In other words, some of these allow you to cash in on your connection.) Some of these open up stories. (Further cards and events within a story are given on different pages in this wiki.)

Event Cards

These are events that result from increasing your Connected scores.

A rather decadent evening

A select occasion. But if you can get an invite, the wine and honey should be flowing freely

Engineer an invitation

You'll use up a substantial amount of your Connected: Bohemian quality.
Unlocked with Connected: Bohemian 10
(Persuasive challenge, Connected: Bohemian challenge, high-risk at 13)

A consideration for services rendered

Hell likes to recognise those who've done it service. Would you like to be recognised?

Attend the ceremony

You'll use up a substantial amount of your Connected: Hell quality. You will also be required to provide a single soul. No, it doesn't have to be yours, silly. Although if you're offering…
Unlocked with Connected: Hell 5, 1 x Soul
(Shadowy Challenge)

Stealth watch repair

A Near-Sighted Horologist is repairing an antique watch for a prominent citizen. The Brass Embassy wants you to replace the mainspring with another - indistinguishable by sight, just a little warmer to the touch. This calls for an accomplice.
Unlocked with Watchful 35, Connected: Hell 5

Let's make this sporting

The Talkative Rattus Faber is a liability; the spice of unpredictability in an otherwise routine housebreaking. He's bound to chatter about the watch, though. You might learn something.
Unlocked with 1 x Talkative Rattus Faber

A calculated risk

More experienced than most rats, but not too proud for this kind of work. If his old wounds don't trouble him that night, it should go without a hitch. If it goes badly and the devils hear you took an inappropriate companion, however, your reputation will suffer.
Unlocked with 1 x Disgraced Rattus Faber Bandit-Chief

It's beneath his dignity, but…

You've never known him to be particularly interested in watches, let alone ones made by human fingers. Still, the Bandit-Chief has a way of making things profitable.
Unlocked with 1 x Rattus Faber Bandit-Chief

You'll have to stand guard

The Working Rat can do the job, given time. You'll have to guard the corridors for him. Make sure the cats don't wake and the clocks don't chime.
Unlocked with 1 x Working Rat


Maybe she'll find it comforting

This is the sort of thing she was born to do. Of course, an all-white rat does show up better in the darkness. [Success here is not guaranteed.]
unlocked with Albino Rat x 1
(Shadowy Challenge straightforward < 99)

Requires 1 Fate

Fate-locked content must not be placed on the wiki, per the developers.

rubberyman.png

A limping figure in a top hat beckons (Standard)

A Rubbery Man! …
Unlocked with Connected: Rubbery Men 1

Accept a damp gift

He's proffering something that looks like…a human wrapped in muddy muslins? An internal organ from some tremendous insect? An egg sac? He seems reluctant, though. Accepting will cost some Connected: Rubbery Men

_ Watchful Watchful challenge  
rubberymansmall.png [Unlocked with Connected: Rubbery Men 5]

A fellow spirit recognised

The Rubbery Man points at two shards of oddly sculpted glim. He pats your shoulder and gurgles solicitously. Perhaps you should find somewhere private for whatever he has in mind.
shardsmall.png [Unlocked with 2 x Glim]
tentaclessmall.png [Unlocked when In Possession of a Peculiar Personal Enhancement is: A Fading Nub, A Roiling Mass, A Quivering Addition, An Alarming Adornment]

[In Possession of a Peculiar Personal Enhancement is a Fate-locked quality, therefore this action is as well, and cannot be placed on the wiki.]

bluestocking.png

A new piece in the Game

She's quick-witted. And she looks respectable, which is half the battle. She'll work for nothing if you can teach her something.
Unlocked with Shadowy 81, Connected: The Great Game 1

Set her an interesting challenge

Give her a day and see what she can find out about the Cheesemonger.

Have her help out with your current job

There is no teacher like experience. She can help you out with what you're planning this evening. [This will only help you if you are currently Seeking… or Investigating…]


tea.png

Tea with the Inspector

The tea is strong to a point just short of savagery, but the fire in the Inspector's office crackles merrily. Conversation turns to business.
Unlocked with Watchful 81, Connected: The Constables 1

Offer your help with their case

'It's always the same with your sort, isn't it? The Constables are baffled and you consulting detectives swoop in and save the day. Well, let's see what you make of this…'

Ask for help with your case

Oh, spit it out, would you? We're all friends here and I doubt that you could shock me…'
Unlocked with Investigating 1
(Watchful challenge)

An implausible penance
