Using Intriguing Gossip

Edit your Intriguing Gossip

Perhaps it will make more sense if you write it down. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that.

Go to the Muffled Intriguer for advice

You know very little about the Muffled Intriguer. Only, oddly, that they have a particular distaste for cheese.

Lucky spoiler

What's her game?

A bench in Tyrant's Gardens. Newspaper and quick eyes. Traditional. '…less there than we'd hoped. The man we sent to seduce the Captivating Princess didn't return. Still not sure what happened. Found only an earring.'
You were fortunate!

Rare spoiler

Prowling above the streets

Unlucky spoiler

Spying on the cloth

A humid afternoon in Caligula's Coffee Shop. Sweat behind the face-covering scarf. '…the Bishop of Southwark's plans? The rumours may have been fabricated by devils. I found out which cavalry unit he served in, though.'
You were unlucky, better luck next time…

Result spoiler

You should do this for a living
