A long-lost love

Wandering the Forgotten Quarter late at night, long after most couples have left, you encounter a lonely tomb-colonist. He is looking for his long-lost lady love. Will you help?
Unlocks: Watchful 5

Help to console the gentleman

The bandaged man tells his sad story of love and loss in a halting whisper beneath the moonish light. All you can do is sympathise.

Rewards spoiler

You offer some comfort

The bandaged gentleman's story rings a distant bell - he perished, temporarily, after a scandalous duel. An acquaintance of yours told you once of a lady whose sweetheart died in just such a duel. Sadly, you are sure you remember something about the lady having a new beau now.

Rather than offer false hope, you explain the situation, as tactfully as you can. You tell him, sincerely, that you believe she's happy. It seems to help, and the gentleman passes you a little gift as you part.

Offer to help find the lady

On the Feast of the Exceptional Rose, how can you refuse him your help?

Rewards spoiler

Reunited!

It turns out that the bandaged gentleman was parted from his beloved on the occasion of his demise at a duel, and sent to the tomb-colonies before he could get word to her. He does not know if she is alive or dead, only that she is not there, so he has come far to search for her.

You have heard all about this duel, are able to point him in the direction of a certain landlady. To cut a long story short, you bring about a happy reunion. The delighted lady sends you a little something in return.

Connected: the Tomb-Colonies increase
Gain: 30 x Deep Amber
Magnanimous increase

A lovers' tryst

Let the Exceptional Rose work its magic on the one you admire. Invite them to a secret assignation this evening in the romantic Forgotten Quarter.
Unlocks: Admired 1, Persuasive 40

Choose an out-of-the-way spot

You do not wish to be disturbed, after all. (Straighforward @ Persuasive 51)

Rewards spoiler

A satisfying interlude

The note you smuggled to your darling was both romantic and precise. It is easy to get oneself turned around in the ruins of the Forgotten Quarter, where so many of the avenues are of similarly grand proportions. But you described a certain statue of a solemn, ancient king with perfect exactness.

The object of your affections arrives to find you already waiting in a secluded niche. Gently, you push the hood of their cloak back, and the moonish light falls silver upon their delicious face. That smile assures you that things will go well tonight.

Arrange to meet by the silver fountain

It is so easy to lose oneself in the silent streets of the Forgotten Quarter. The fountain is a memorable landmark, although it has a sinister reputation. (Low-risk @ Persuasive 51)

Rewards spoiler

A delicious encounter

You are so glad you chose the central square for your rendezvous. The moonish light brings the silver tree-shaped fountain to life, tonight; it's as if the fog has cleared just for the two of you. The crumbling old palace makes for a fantastically romantic setting, and the delight in your lover's face is plain to see.

Gain: 2 x Romantic Notion

Further your seduction with a romantic tryst

For whatever reason, you have set your sights on someone. Surely they will be charmed by a clandestine assignation amongst the ruins?
Unlocked with Fascinating… 1
(Persuasive challenge)

Rewards spoiler

Marvellously done

The Feast of the Exceptional Rose could not have arrived at a more opportune time. Your plans to seduce this gorgeous creature have been coming along well enough, but your suggestion of a romantic, late-night stroll has raised the stakes.

You have selected a paticularly picturesque ruin and brought wine and paper violets. Your charm and the chill beauty of the night are irresistible.
