A street-cart is selling Fourth City Rags

They're going cheap, and they may be of use to you. But there's probably a reason why they're going cheap.
Unlocks: 10 x Whispered Secret

Purchase Fourth City Rags

Careful. Who knows what nightmares they might bring?

Rewards spoiler

The moment you touch them, you hear voices…

The voices continue all the way home, and don't leave you even in your dreams. Eventually you ball up the rags and lock them in your wardrobe overnight. That quietens the voices. But the dreams will stay with you a good while.
Lose: 10 x Whispered Secret
Gain: 1 x Fourth City Rags

You're close to something interesting. You have scraps and fragments and tantalising hints. Perhaps it's time for a fresh eye.

A parliament of bats

Unlocks: 1 x Sulky Bat
Bats zip to and fro above. Their cries sound almost like speech.

Option 1: Release a bat into the cloud

If you have a Sulky Bat, this might be a good opportunity to cheer it up. But will it come back?
A matter of luck: it could go either way.

Lucky spoiler (new reward)

A leathery scatter

Your bat soars into the cloud above like the opposite of a dropped stone. You watch for a while as the bats wheel in the gas-light from below. Suddenly there's a disturbance. A bat-squabble! Your pet plummets back to your shoulder as suddenly as it came, clutching something in its claws. Two larger bats spot you and wheel reluctantly back to the flock. Your bat turns its head and glares morosely at you before surrendering its cargo.
Rewards:
You were fortunate!
You now have 3 x Certifiable Scrap

Unlucky spoiler (once was reward)

For a moment you think you've seen the last of your bat….

It disappears into the cloud of bats overhead, and doesn't return for a good hour. You're halfway across town by then, ordering roast chestnuts from a vendor, when it drops out of the sky and clings to your shoulder, folding its wings as sulkily as ever. But it seems to have picked up a tiny scroll of paper from somewhere! Did it fight a messenger bat? You read the scroll with interest.
Rewards:
You were unlucky. Better luck next time
Connected: The Great Game increase (8 change points)

Option 2: Are those surface bats?

You could allow your bat to follow them back to the Surface, and visit a friend up there. It's the last thing your friend would expect.

The person you invite recieves:

You have been invited to do the following…

player (player on Twitter) has sent a tiny, sulky bat to visit you. It's an ungracious beast, but it has a certain wrinkled charm, and it does keep your candles free of moths. Will you follow it back to Fallen London?

Failure spoiler

A noble effort

Your weasel acquits himself well. But he is brought low by two weasels of low cunning! You suspect one of being half-stoat! You exchange strong words with its handler. Knives are drawn! The Constables come to break the business up, none too soon, while you retire to lick your weasel's wounds. Ah, for your weasel to lick his wounds.
No rewards.

Persuasive increase

Rare Rewards spoiler

The ladies and gentlemen of the Parlour of Virtue are exceptionally charming, and you spend a delicious time in their company. There are distractions here to sate any appetite, and it is hard to say where reality ends and honey-dreams begin. You find yourself invigorated by the experience, although a little poorer. In fact you expected to pay more: you think some of the staff have taken a shine to you. You slumber peacefully in the embrace of the Parlour, and the attendants thoughtfully arrange for you to leave unseen through an exit normally reserved for the staff.

Cards with the civil service

The palace functionaries have taken a shine to you. There is a place for you at their monthly card table.
Requires 20 x Deep Amber

A Rubbery Man lopes purposefully in your wake, tentacles dangling like hanged men's fingers

It points one gloved hand at the pocket where you're keeping the Warm Amber, and burbles a mucus-filled question. Does it want it back?
Unlocks: 1 x Warm Amber

Give it the Amber

Although you find yourself curiously unwilling to part with it.

Reward spoiler

It snuffles in gratitude.

'It'? Why do you find yourself thinking, instead, that this one is 'she'? Regardless. It, or she, hands you a slimy fistful of more ordinary deep amber.
Lose: 1 x Warm Amber
Connected: Rubbery Men increase (1-8 points)

Filthy thing! That they are permitted to walk the streets of a Christian city! Well, Christian-ish.
(Dangerous challenge, straightforward at 45; Shadowy challenge, straightforward at 45)

Reward spoiler

The deed is done

You wipe your hands clean of clingingly ectoplasmic blood, and leave its body beneath a tarpaulin in the alley. It will not be missed. Or not by anyone of importance. And you have its little stash of Deep Amber.

Connected: Rubbery Men decrease ~20 points

Consent to a potentially depraved union

Partly due to your little… addition, you've become better at telling Rubbery Men apart. This one keeps seeking you out. It doesn't want your Warm Amber. It has other intentions…[Polite society does not approve of such things. In fact, it is revolted by the whole idea.]

Unlocked with 100 x Proscribed Material

Homage to the paper-man

To garner Mr Pages' favour, you'll have to part with a lot of books. It'll mean hiring a wagon. [This will gain you a little Connected: the Masters]
Unlocked with 10 000 x Proscribed Material, 50 x Jade Fragment

Reward spoiler

'How providentical!'

Mr Pages is delighted to see your trundling library of abominations approach the Bazaar. He whisks you off to his spire, where he entertains you in a high-ceilinged, green-lit room with japery, anecdotage and astonishing vocabularic contortions. Many of his anecdotes are the kind to freeze the blood and set your eyes staring. In any case, you have earned a favour.

The Honey-Addled Monkey

Your Malevolent Monkey is normally a reliable, and quite adorable, partner in crime…. But some fool left a spoon of prisoner's honey lying around, and now everything's changed.
Unlocks: 1 x Malevolent Monkey

Join him in a honey-dream

Find out more about his addiction. You might learn something of interest.
Unlocks: 10 x Drop of Prisoner's Honey

Rewards spoiler

A most fascinating perspective

Sharing a honey-dream with your monkey is a surprisingly pleasant experience. The place he goes to is wilder, greener, brighter than those you are used to visiting under the influence. The air is humid, and you are surrounded by lush foliage. Vivid birds cry out. Iridescent beetles the size of your hand fly past your head. Flowers bloom like splashes of flaming oil.

Gain: 5 x Appalling Secret
Lose: 10 x Drop of Prisoner's Honey
Gain: 1 x Memory of Light

Try to cure him with bribery

Maybe he'll sober up long enough to help you rob the Ambassador's Ball, if you offer him something shiny from the proceeds.
Unlocks: 50 x Deep Amber, Route: The Shuttered Palace 1

Rewards spoiler

A consummate performance

You attend the ball accompanied by a perfectly turned out, perfectly sober monkey. He insisted on being paid in advance, but it was worth it. He is wearing such a dear little dress, and a matching bonnet! You saunter round the party, holding his tiny hand. Ladies cannot help but stoop to greet your darling little girl, leaving purses and jewelled fans unattended.
 
Only the most well-bred of ladies manage to conceal their shock at seeing the hairy grin beneath the bonnet. But none of them is tactless enough to actually say anything. They hurry away in a fluster, which is just perfect for your purposes.
Shadowy increase
Lose: 50 x Deep Amber
Gain: 10 x Diamonds

Replace him with something - or someone - more ruthless

A honey-addicted monkey is a liability. If you pass the word out to certain underworld circles, you might make a swap - but be careful. He'll be gone for good, and while you may get someone better in exchange, it's not guaranteed.
Unlocks: 200 x Nevercold Brass Sliver, Connected: Criminals 30

Rewards spoiler (unknown)

????

Swap him for something - or someone - more reliable

Who wants a honey-crazed monkey on their hands? If you take him to the Bazaar, you can trade him in - but be careful. He'll be gone for good, and the Bazaar will choose who you get as a replacement.
Unlocks: Connected: Hell 10, 200 x Rostygold, Persuasive 50

Rewards spoiler

A more than fair exchange!

You take your monkey to the Bazaar, where he is discreetly drawn aside by a delightful young lady. Another greets you, and skilfully relieves you of the Bazaar's finder's fee. You are presented with a delicious drink. You wait for a while.
 
The lady returns. 'I am honoured,' she says. 'I have been given the Bazaar's blessing to become your new associate.' She is beautiful and charming, and will certainly prove to be a valuable asset. Hm. That monkey must have had some hidden value you were unaware of. Was letting him go a wise move?

Your Winsome Orphan is out of control

The young fellow is looking shifty. And your laudanum stocks are looking low. Put two and two together…. Yes, he's stealing from you. What are you going to do about it?
Unlocked with 1 x Winsome Orphan, 1 x F.F. Gebrandt's Superior Laudanum

Give him a chance to mend his ways

Leave some of your laudanum unattended. Give the lad a rousing speech about honesty, integrity and loyalty in place of his usual bedtime story.
Persuasive challenge
Unlocks: 3 x F.F. Gebrandt's Superior Laudanum

Rewards

A heartwarming outcome

You speak at length, extolling the virtues of honesty and forgiveness. You hint strongly that if the little chap has anything on his conscience, he would be far better off doing the right thing now, while you're feeling well-disposed towards him.

It works. The next morning, three unattended bottles of laudanum have mysteriously become seven.
Persuasive increase
Gain: 4 x F.F. Gebrandt's Superior Laudanum
Magnanimous increase (but no higher than 5)

Accuse him outright

Enough nonsense. The child must be to blame. Search his bedroom!
Watchful challenge

Rewards

Harsh, but necessary

You rummage through the wardrobe and peer under the bed. Eventually, you tread on a loose floorboard - aha. Pry it up, and there's the missing laudanum. You excoriate the boy for his dishonesty, but, well, he's shown a keen criminal mind, you have to admit. You settle for confiscating part of his day's takings from begging as punishment.
Watchful increase
Gain: 15 x Deep Amber
Gain: 3 x F.F. Gebrandt's Superior Laudanum
Ruthless increase (but no higher than 5)

Overly alluring?

Unlocks: 1 x Alluring Accomplice
Your delightful accomplice is possessed of many charms and graces, but these may be masking some dark secrets… She has been behaving oddly, of late.

Maybe she is stealing from you

Unlocks: Watchful 40
Keep a close eye on her. And on your valuables.

Rewards spoiler

Caught in the act

You knew it. A few days' keen observation has left you in no doubt that the delightful young lady has got light fingers. A shard of glim here, an Echo there, a brandied truffle or two from your personal supply… you have seen them all drop into her pockets.
It is easy enough to let her know you are watching her; and you find that your purse has grown mysteriously heavier overnight. The girl has a conscience. But ask yourself, is petty thievery really enough of an explanation, or have you been sidetracked?
Rewards:
Watchful increase
Gain: 50 x Glim

Perhaps she is spying on you

Unlocks: Watchful 50
Spy right back on her.

Rewards spoiler

A test of loyalty

It is surprisingly hard to spy effectively on your Alluring Accomplice. She has always been very discreet with her correspondence, and she is skilled at evading a tail. You follow her on innocent trips to hat-shops, parks and public lectures, and see nothing conclusive.
 
One evening, however, as you lurk nonchalantly behind a packing crate in Spite, near the lady's favourite scented-candle stall, you overhear a rather interesting exchange. A bent old crone hobbles up to your apprentice, and asks if she has reconsidered 'the offer for the letters'.
 
When you confront her, your accomplice's response is scathing. How could anyone think she would betray you? You, who have done so much for her! Her loyalty, she insists, is with you. Her words have the ring of truth; she is either astonishingly resourceful and conniving, or this scene is genuine and you have nothing to worry about. And all that time spent loitering in markets has allowed you to pick some choice pockets.
Rewards:
Watchful increase
Gain: 30 x Deep Amber
Gain: 30 x Jade Fragment

Maybe she has become virtuous

Unlocks: Connected: The Church 20
Recently, the young lady has been attending church rather a lot. If you are friendly enough with the clergy, you can find out if her apparent devotion is something to worry about.

Rewards spoiler

A healthy level of devotion

Excessive religious zeal on the young lady's part could prove problematic for some of your…shadier enterprises, so you need to investigate her motives. You are well-connected amongst the senior clergy, so it is simple to secure an invitation to the vicarage for tea.
 
You spend a very pleasant half-hour discussing the latest methods in fungus cultivation, before you introduce the most delicate of questions regarding your associate. 'Alas,' says the vicar. 'I do not wish to cast aspersions on the young lady, but I feel I would be neglecting my duty if I were not to warn you that I feel there may be something lacking…' His sentence continues for some time. The gist of it, that your accomplice has not become suddenly devout, is reassuring. In your turn, you listen sympathetically to the vicar's worries that someone is stealing from the collection plate. You make a note to ask for your share later.
Rewards:
Gain: 30 x Nevercold Brass Silver
Gain: 20 x Jade Fragment
Connected: The Church decrease

Perhaps she is in danger

Unlocks: Connected: Criminals 30, 30 x Jade Fragment
Could the lady be hiding some sort of trouble? If you have good enough criminal connections, it might be worth making some enquiries.

Rewards spoiler

A dastardly plot

The lady is as charming as ever, most of the time, but recently has been uncharacteristically snappish. You cash in some favours owed, and hear disturbing whispers. Blackmail is in the wind.
 
Once you know what the problem is, you are able to help. One or two well-placed threats, and suddenly your accomplice is smiling and sunny again. So are you. The blackmailers were frightened enough to return all their ill-gotten gains directly to you.

The Departed

Tiny black-garbed shapes crouch beside a grave-pit. Blue flames flutter in the Neathy breeze. You've happened across a mass rat-burial in a single human-sized grave.

Option 1: Watch

Rattus Faber bury their dead? You'd rather thought they just ate them. Is this some heterodox rat-cult?

Rewards

Tiny and solemn

Rat-mourners lay wreaths of lardy twine and pickled cabbage. Burlier rats inter one stiff-furred corpse after another, while white-collared rat-priests solemnly spit and trample on an image of St Gertrude de Nivelles. A minuscule double row of rat-choristers squeaks a requiem. Two leather-masked sentinels spot you and level tiny weapons. Time to move on.
Watchful increase
Melancholy increase

Option 2: Add your own dead to the pile

You have a dead rat in your pocket? A friend, or a trophy? Best not go into that.
unlocked with Rat on a String 1

Rewards

Approach with caution

Suspicious pallbearers watch your approach, but when you lay the stiff-whiskered body gently on the ground they nod grudgingly. You stand quietly while white-collared rat-priests solemnly spit and trample on an image of St Gertrude de Nivelles. A minuscule double row of rat-choristers squeaks a requiem. A blear-eyed ratwife pats your boot consolingly. "E was too good for this wicked world,' she assures you. "E's best off quiet in the earth. Bein' eaten by beetles."

Your pockets are full of verminous corpses. Now's the time to be rid of them!
unlocked with Rat on a String 48
Dangerous challenge, straightforward < 76

A lightning retreat

Rewards

Rat-clergy stare, appalled, as you methodically empty your bags and pockets. One glaze-eyed body after another thumps onto the cold earth. 'RATCATCHER!' the cry goes up. A squad of blunderbuss-armed L.B.s leaps from cover and discharges a salvo. You escape unharmed and in haste. Perhaps not the wisest course of action.
Dangerous increase
Sympathetic about Ratly Concerns decrease
Troubled by Vermin hasn't changed, because it's too low for this storylet…
Lose: 24 x Rat on a String

Option 4: Oho! Ripe rats!

The little villains are at their prayers, are they? They'll never see you coming! Sweep down like the Assyrian!
Dangerous challenge, straightforward < 76

Rewards

A flea-ridden haul

'The ratcatcher came down like the… cat… on the… fold… full of rats.' It's not the stuff of myth, exactly. But for the rats, it must seem like Judgement Day come early. You burst from cover, discharging weapons, trampling rat-priests, toppling tiny coffins. The rats flee! You are left with a substantial pile of furred trophies. And the gratitude of the Church, which dislikes heretics and vermin but heretical vermin most of all.

Etiquette for the Ruthless

You have a Ruthless Henchman. No one crosses him; no one would dare. As useful as this is, he could also do with being just a little more civilised.
Unlocked with 1 x Ruthless Henchman

Send him for dance lessons

He may claim to be unwilling, but he will enjoy learning to waltz once he begins.This choice is locked for now.
Requires Persuasive 60

Rewards spoiler

As light as air

Who would have thought that a few lessons with Madame la Fonteyne would make such a difference? Your gruff, burly henchman turns out to have a natural talent for the ballroom. He is dainty on his feet, and quickly masters the steps he's taught.

His enthusiasm for the dance lessons is an equally pleasant surprise. He does confide in you that they make it that much easier to sneak up on his enemies. Wonderful. Not only can he attend a ball, he can murder all the guests with discretion..

33 x Cryptic Clue gained

Attend to his education

Your henchman is unparalleled when it comes to matters of violence and treachery. But his level of erudition leaves much to be desired. Perhaps some improving lectures might help?
Requires Persuasive 70, 30 x Jade Fragment

Rewards spoiler

The life of the mind

You have selected a series of inexpensive talks at the Department of Cryptospelunking & Transportable Antiquities. These should have the right blend of the academic and the practical to keep your henchman interested.

It seems to be working. Associating with a more refined crowd has improved his table manners and his vocabulary, and his practical studies have enriched your personal collections. A very satisfactory result.

Train him in the more…subtle arts

If you are an accomplished enough thief yourself, he will be willing to learn from you.
Requires Master Thief 1, Persuasive 75

Rewards spoiler

An able assistant

As a Master Thief, you have a lot of experience and knowledge to share. Your henchman learns fast and well, and soon you feel confident sending him off on burglaries by himself. His strength particularly suits him to carrying heavy objects, so you send him to steal a strongbox from the cellar of a prominent devil.

He returns puffing and grunting, laden with more brass than you have seen in one place in a long time. The skilful commission of the robbery means suspicion falls on you, and the Constables turn up the next day. However you have carefully prepared an alibi; you were at the Singing Mandrake all night. Your behaviour was noticeable, shall we say, and you have many witnesses to your personal innocence. No one suspects your notoriously unsubtle henchman.

The oracle of the weasel-fights

Your raven sat on your shoulder as you passed a weasel-fighting pit, and called out the names of the next three winners. Is it becoming oracular? Does it study weasel form? Can you persuade it to do it again?

A direct approach

Make the raven understand that it will be bird-paste if it does not produce the names of further winners.

Rewards spoiler

Dazed and alarmed

The raven flaps about in alarm and for the most part is too panicked to say anything for a while. It picks more winners than losers at the next weasel-fight and you come out slightly ahead. You start to think that the bird just got lucky the first time.

Give the bird plenty of good offal and leave a copy of the Fighting Weasel Digest around where the raven can see it.

Use him to torment an enemy

Send the lad round to serenade someone you have a grudge against. At an unnecessarily early hour of the morning.
Requires Dangerous 30

Rewards

Ah. A fine effort.

You tell the boy to make sure to play Greensleeves. 'Thass me fav'rite one, that,' he says, with pride. You know it is. He makes a particularly fine job of murdering it in its sleep. Maybe it is a tiny bit mean to use the poor child's enthusiasm for his new hobby like this? On the other hand, your patience is wearing thin and the alternative is selling him to a gang of pirates.
Anyway, the plan worked nicely. Your enemy emptied a slops bucket over your urchin's head, but this barely dented his confidence; and lack of sleep meant your rival failed to take advantage of a certain business opportunity which instead fell into your lap. Handy young fellow, that urchin, although now even more malodorous than before.

Sartorial Squeamishness

Unlocks: 1 x Working Rat, 1 x Ratskin Suit
You, head-to-toe in ratskin, pass the Working Rat in the hall. He drops his toolbox and scampers off, leaving his best ratwork plier set scattered on the floor. Later, a tiny note on your pillow informs you that he will not work under these conditions.

Sigh and sell off the ratskin suit

It was getting a bit shiny at the elbows, anyway. You won't get back what you paid for it, but you might be able to do better than Bazaar resale prices.

Assure him none of the rats were his kin

You're almost certain the ratskins used to make this thing belonged to the more ordinary variety of rat. Stands to reason. Rattus Faber are harder to catch.
Persuasive Challenge

Rewards spoiler

Raised on a diet of Stilton

You describe a fictitious shop where all the tailors are conscientious and all the skins are from humanely farmed, ordinary rats. It gives him something to tell himself.

Persuasive Increase
A twist in your tale! You are now Sympathetic about Ratly Concerns.
Gain: 10 x Cryptic Clue
Gain: 1 x Confident Smile

The Henchman and the Accomplice

Your Ruthless Henchman and your Alluring Accomplice are inseparable, these days. Billing and cooing when they think no one's watching. It's very romantic. And rather inconvenient for you.
Unlocks: Ruthless Henchman x 1, Alluring Accomplice x 1

Make use of this new development

There is plenty of criminal potential here, if you know how to use it. Especially if you have a little start-up capital to invest.
Unlocks: Connected: Criminals 10, Shadowy 40
(Shadowy challenge)

Rewards spoiler

Success!

You arrange for the pair to pose as a gullible but rich young couple in a complicated confidence trick that an associate is carrying out. Their evidently real attachment is enough to persuade a rich mark that everything else they say is true as well. The poor, stupid fool.

Shadowy increase
Gain: 10 x Diamond

Give them your blessing

Ah, young love. Wonderful. Offer your congratulations. Celebrate.
Unlocks: Hedonist 5, Persuasive 40, Greyfields 1882 x 10

Rewards spoiler

A lovely party

Somehow, your suggestion of a little toast to their happiness turns into a rowdy, debauched evening. You wake up with a headache, a depleted wine cellar and only a hazy memory of events. Checking your pockets, it seems you gave your henchman a generous tip while you were under the influence, too. Are you growing soft?

Split them up using your Society connections

This is ridiculous. Use your familiarity with bright young things to contrive an end to this ill-conceived romance.
Unlocks: Connected: Society 10, Persuasive 40, Heartless 3, Subtle 3

Rewards spoiler

A tawdry victory

You have enough leverage in high society to engineer the desired outcome. You encourage a young lady to flirt a little with your henchman - she does not take much persuading, for he is rather dashing - and then ensure, by way of intercepted billets-doux, that rumours of this reach your pretty accomplice's delicate ears.

Some tears and a little broken china later, an equilibrium is restored to your coterie. Both your associates are now free to concentrate on doing your bidding - but will the rift between them cause problems later?
You succeeded in a Connected: Society challenge!

The Urchin and the Monkey

Trouble is brewing between your Grubby Urchin and your Malevolent Monkey. What exactly is behind the sulks and the furtive scuffles?
Unlocks: 1 x Malevolent Monkey & 1 x Grubby Urchin

Ask your Urchin what's going on.

Lying comes as naturally to the lad as breathing, but it will be interesting to see what explanation he comes up with.
Unlocks: Watchful 35

Rewards spoiler

A squabble over money

Your urchin wriggles and evades, but you'll have none of it. It turns out that he has been dressing your monkey up as a child - a girl child! - and taking him to Mrs Plenty's Carnival. They wander through the crowd, hand-in-hand, alternately begging and picking pockets. Apparently, they make an adorable couple and have been inordinately successful.

So why the arguments? He says that the pair are squabbling over the division of the proceeds, but they are united in their wish not to share any of them with you. This will not do. You confiscate a reasonable chunk of their takings and send them both off with a clip round the ear.
Watchful increase
Gain: 40 x Glim

Ask an impartial observer

Best not to confront them directly. Make some discreet enquiries around the neighbourhood instead.
Unlocks: with Watchful 35

Rewards spoiler

Interesting…

You ask a few of the locals if they have seen anything you should know about. Most fob you off with obvious lies, but you find a ginger cat willing to share a plausible story.

Apparently, both urchin and monkey have developed attachments to the same parlour-maid, and spend much of their time competing for her affections with little presents and offers to run errands. Both are, of course, far too shy to admit to this. The urchin blushes furiously and the monkey pulls a blanket over his head when you ask them about it. Anyway, it seems harmless enough - for now - to let the rivalry continue. Maybe you can even make use of it one day.
Watchful increase

Interrogate your Monkey

Just try not to get distracted by his adorable big brown eyes.
Unlocks: with Watchful 35

Rewards spoiler

You know his game.

The monkey tries to bamboozle you, looking up through long eyelashes, tilting his head winsomely. But you've seen it all before. Eventually, a combination of bribery and gentle threats gets him to admit that there is a reason behind all the squabbling. The urchin, he says, has been spying on you on behalf of a mysterious patron. A widow, apparently. Interesting. If this is true, of course. You give the monkey a piece of cindered mushroom… and you can swear you hear a chuckle as he swings off up to his nest in the eaves.

Watchful increase

Swap Incendiary Gossip

The right people will pay handsomely for this information.
Unlocks: Incendiary Gossip 1, A Person of Some Importance 1, A Member in Good Standing 1

In the back rooms of your club, it's hard to see who's talking to whom. This can be an advantage for everyone. [This will always cost you Gossip but often gain you something.]

The song of the Mandrake

Unlocks: 1 x Deshrieked Mandrake

Mysterious things, the Mandrakes of the Neath. These hardy little roots are less deadly than their mythical counterparts, but no less loud.

Option 1: Play with your pet Mandrake

A Deshrieked Mandrake makes a good companion, most of the time. But they need attention, as all pets do. Stuff your ears with silk first. Just in case.
A matter of luck: pretty good odds.
unlocked with 25 x silk scrap

Reward, Lucky

Happy little tuber

You dangle a shiny object for your mandrake to chase. It totters along, humming merrily. The things it sings when it's this cheerful still eat through your protective silk, but they are well worth catching.

The person you invite recieves:

Lizardly matters

The lizards of the Neath come in all shapes and sizes. Huge monsters lurk in the marshes, where only the foolhardy venture unarmed. But their smaller cousins make excellent pets.

Feed your Reprehensible Lizard a treat

Fussy reptiles, these, but they do like a blob of lamplighter beeswax. Sometimes.
A matter of luck: pretty good odds.

Fortunate

A gulp and it's gone

You offer your lizard a lump of beeswax. It swallows it whole with a flick of the tongue. A warm glow spreads across its scaly belly, fading slowly over the next few hours.

Nightmares increase

Invite a friend to hunt giant marsh-lizards with you

Surely you know someone on the Surface who would appreciate Fallen London's unique sporting opportunities…

An unkindness of ravens

Spiders and flies

Sorrow-spiders. Disgusting or lovable? Objects of worship, entertainment, or mere silk-producing machines? Opinion is divided.

Diversions for your pet

Your pet sorrow-spider is scuttling around, ignoring the insects trapped in its web. Perhaps it is bored. Perhaps you should find something for it to do.
Unlocked with Glim 25, 1 x Fairly Tame Sorrow-Spider
A matter of luck: pretty good odds.

Fortunate spoiler

How creative

When let loose on some oddments of glim, your spider produces something you could almost call artwork. It piles the blue shards up, wraps them in silk, and joins them together in strings. You exchange one such for a more precious piece of cloth in Spite market. And there's enough left over spider-silk to bind your wounds, if you have any.

Rewards:
You were fortunate!

You've lost 25 x Glim

Unlucky spoiler

How destructive

You give your spider some glim to play with, but it attacks the offering in a rage, chewing up the shards with a snarl. You collect a few scraps of silk, but they aren't enough to make up for the shame of its bad behaviour. Whatever will the chaps at the spider-fights think of your badly-behaved pet?

Success spoiler (Unknown)

Failure spoiler

A little outré

Your macaw certainly looks the part - he's so dashing and dapper. It's when he starts speaking to people that the illusion shatters. He didn't learn the finer points of decorum from the devils he's been living with.

What will you do with your Bandaged Raven?

She may be too delicate to travel back to the Tomb-colonies, but there's bound to be a use for this bird. She has the wisdom of a long life and a longer memory. Occasionally, she even recites poetry.

A Guarded Truce

The Starveling Cat hisses and yowls, but your Grubby Kitten spent her formative weeks among the urchins of the Regiment. She knows a thing or two about spitting and scratching. Eventually, the two settle into something resembling mutual respect, only occasionally disrupted by flying fur. It's almost as if they have agreed to forget their conflict for a reason. As if they are conspiring. With you, keeper of the larder, as the common enemy…
One day, guard down, you walk into the kitchen. Two pairs of slitted eyes look up at you. A long and shining moment passes, the silence broken only by the snick of unsheathed claws…
The painful interlude that follows is best left to the imagination. Suffice it to say that you have several fresh sets of livid scratches and a new vision of what horror truly means.'
