Storylets unknown


Current storylets for this Opportunity Card are unknown

placeholder6.png

The Heron Tower: Events at a Lair in the Marshes

The marshes offer fungus, mud and seclusion. Few would dare cross them without a guide. Maps more than a few weeks old are unreliable, as mud-pits shift and fungus colonies roam.
Unlocked with 1 x Key to a Lair in the Marshes

That fungus-colony wasn't there half an hour ago. Are those… teeth? It's coming for you!

_ Dangerous Dangerous challenge

The Tower of Sparrows: Vice and Virtue in a Gambling Den

The gambling den is unlicensed, but regular bribes to the Constables mean it is usually unmolested. Smoke, quiet conversation and the endless movement of money. What could be finer?

The Windward Tower: the Matter of the Decommissioned Steamer

The steamer once braved the Unterzee, to the tomb-colonies and even as far as the Darker Continent. These days she is stuck on the shore, held fast by mud and black coral. Her engine is long gone.
Unlocked with 1 x Deeds to a Decommissioned Steamer

The Tower of Eyes: Behind Closed Doors at a Handsome Townhouse

One of the more decorous areas of the city…
Unlocked with 1 x Key to a Handsome Townhouse

Do a little promenading yourself

This is the sort of area where a person of distinction may see and be seen. Are we displaying the latest fashions? Are we elegantly accessorised?

_ Persuasive challenge
keygoldsmall.png [Unlocked with 1 x Key to a Handsome Townhouse]

Secure an invitation to a scandalous party

You are sure that there are intriguing things going on behind these oh-so-seemly façades. Perhaps a person of your… colourful reputation could secure an invitation.

_ Persuasive challenge
keygoldsmall.png [Unlocked with 1 x Key to a Handsome Townhouse]
sidebarscandalsmall.png [Unlocked with Scandal 1]
goldenapplesmall.png [Unlocked with Hedonist 3]

Scheme: Set up a Salon

This is a fashionable address.You could establish a salon: arrange visits from poets, thinkers, politicians, historians, diplomats, oneironauts, devils of note… all for the exaltation of taste and the expansion of mind. And for a little personal glory, perhaps.

Competition among those who would host salons is ferocious. You'll need to play upon a huge range of connections, and arrange rather better furniture. And a good cellar.

This will give you a Salon Affiliation, which makes you Respectable and Bizarre and with work will produce Making Waves. It will prevent you opening an Orphanage.

Unlocked with 1 x Key to a Handsome Townhouse, Person of Some Importance, Scandal 3, Connected: Hell 20, Person in Good Standing, 2 x Personal Recommendation, 2 x Cellar of Wine, 50 x Incendiary Gossip, 5000 x Penny, Connected: Revolutionaries 20, Connected: The Tomb-Colonies 3, Connected: the Duchess 3, Connected: the Masters of the Bazaar 1, Connected: The Church 3, 4 x Favours in High Places, Connected: Summersong 3, Connected: Benthic 3, Connected: Society 60, Connected: Bohemian 60, no more than 0 x A Salon, no more than 0 x An Orphange

Scheme: Set up an orphanage

The house is a generous size. You could turn over a few floors to a sanctuary for orphans, and a brace of nurses to care for them. You'll need to make the relevant legal arrangements, hire staff, and pay for internal remodelling. It'll be expensive.

This will give you an Orphanage Affiliation, which makes you Respectable and with work will produce Making Waves. It will prevent you opening a Salon.

The Tower of Sun and Moon: a Reservation at the Royal Bethlehem Hotel

The Royal Bethlehem Hotel. The most luxurious place to stay in London. The guests are surprisingly singular for such an expensive establishment.
[Unlocked with Watchful 70]

Investigate the guests

There are some very unusual people staying at the Royal Bethlehem Hotel. Perhaps there are secrets to be learned here.

Harvesting the hotel

It's a bold plan, but perhaps some of the more unusual guests here have loosely-tethered souls that might be harvested.

They say that it is impossible to make money at the Bazaar without a licence and some premises. They, of course, are generally wrong. But not in this case.

The Barrister Returns for Tea and Oneupmanship

'Of course, I had several henchmen, two minions and a cat's-paw all imported from the Surface at some considerable expense.' Hmph. You can beat that. The only question is whether you want a hanger-on or a lackey.
diamondsmall.png [Unlocked when A Person of Some Importance is: A Significant Individual]
[This is one of the invitation options]

Move to premises at the Bazaar

Let's see - a shop front and a handsome set of rooms above it, on a street where they sell brass lanterns, blood-apples and some sort of evil snail thing that cures gout. Allows 4 cards in your hand. The lease will cost 80,000 Whispered Secrets
This option may be retired.

Your just due

Persons of a certain standing don't actually need to buy premises at the Bazaar. The paperwork for being assigned space near the glistening black spires is unimaginable. Chalk-nosed bureaucrats have leapt in the river rather than face it. You can acquire Bazaar Permits via the Bazaar Sidestreets, or by using Nostalgia items in your inventory.
