Using Foxfire Candle Stubs

Burn your Candles

Will you stay up all night? Of course, in the Neath, the night goes on forever.

Stay up all night talking science with F.F. Gebrandt

A packet of candles and a bottle of gin, and she'll talk the legs off a spider-council.
[This will always get you Abominable Salts. There may be other effects.]
Unlocked with 100 x Foxfire Candle Stub
A matter of luck: pretty good odds.

Lucky spoiler

A brighter future, through science

'…have you ever considered chemistry as a profession? It's the future, you understand. In a decade's time, we'll have cured gout, spiders and baldness, or I'm a Dutchman. But to business. Who, exactly, do you intend to poison?'

Lose: 100 x Foxfire Candle Stub
Gain: 10 x Abominable Salts
Gain: 20 x Whispered Secret

Unlucky spoiler

Just nod and smile

'…which one of these is gin? Not that one… that's poison. You hold on to these while I work it out.'

Lose: 100 x Foxfire Candle Stub
Gain: 10 x Abominable Salts

Make a substantial donation to F.F. Gebrandt's church

It's a fairly unorthodox place. More a talking shop for scientists and radicals. But they still like candles.
[This will always gain you many Abominable Salts.]
Unlocked with 1000 x Foxfire Candle Stub

Result spoiler

After a fairly perfunctory service

It's more like a university common room than a vicarage. But Mrs Gebrandt is pleased at your generosity. Would you like to assist with a small experiment?
