The Labyrinth Of Tigers

Welcome to the Third Coil

Remember: the tigers roam free in the Labyrinth.

This is where the tigers keep their human guests…exhibits…is there a difference? From here, you could return to Coil 2 or work here and earn the right to go on to Coil 4.

Leaving the third coil

You are in the third coil of the Labyrinth. Where do you want to go next?

Return to the second coil

You should be able to find your way out easily enough.

Head to the fourth coil

The fourth coil is more of an armed camp than a zoological garden. Will the vergers let you past?

A look around the third coil

Unlocks: making progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers 9, in the Labyrinth of Tigers, Navigating Coil 3
So, the third coil of the labyrinth. The place where they keep men and women.

Take a stroll around

An unsettling place, to be sure. But is it any worse than New Newgate?

Avoid becoming an exhibit yourself

Unlocks: making progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers 10, in the Labyrinth of Tigers, Navigating Coil 3
Some of the keepers down here are a bit short-sighted. And tigers are too vain to consider spectacles. There's one that's been looking at you suspiciously, and it's become clear he thinks you're an escapee.

Convince him you work here

Have a conversation with him. Truth is on your side, after all. What could possibly go wrong?
(Persuasive challenge, straightforward at 105)

Fight back

Take the initiative. Arm yourself, just in case.
(Dangerous challenge, straightforward at 106)

Calming the inmates

Unlocks: making progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers 10, in the Labyrinth of Tigers, Navigating Coil 3
The human exhibits in this coil of the Labyrinth tend to become distressed at certain times of the day. It falls to you to soothe their nerves.

Sing a lullaby

It's mostly in the evenings that the wailing starts. If you can anticipate this and sing them to sleep, everyone can have a quiet night.

The third coil

Unlocks: making progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers 10 (But below 13), in the Labyrinth of Tigers, Navigating Coil 3
The third coil is where the Labyrinth of Tigers keeps its human… what's the word? Prisoners? Guests? Exhibits? Tigers idle in numbers here. [Progress here by raising The Hunt is On! to 8]

Recapturing an escapee

Escapes from the third coil are frequent. Well, escape attempts, anyway. Making it to the entrance uneaten is another matter.
(Dangerous challenge, straightforward at 107)

Help someone escape

He says that he's been here for months, ever since he was kidnapped by Mr Inch. A humble stage magician who tried to make a tiger disappear. He misses his family. Can you help?
(Dangerous challenge, straightforward at 109)

Capture a new exhibit

She's not a magician or a cat-chaser. She's probably therefore a union supporter or someone who looked twice at a tiger. She's making a mistake visiting the labyrinth, in any case.
(Dangerous challenge, straightforward at 111)

Deal with mirror-smugglers

(Dangerous challenge, straightforward at 113)
No mirrors are permitted in the third coil. Not even glass, or a decently polished hip flask. Constant vigilance is required.



Each of the opportunities at The Hunt Is On 8 increase your progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers and so can only been seen once. Choose wisely. After finishing the third 'A night for escapes' and getting 'making progress 13', 'The third coil' option disappears ending progress in the third coil.

For God's sake, help me!

Unlocks: making progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers 10, in the Labyrinth of Tigers, Navigating Coil 3, The Hunt is On! 8
This hollow-cheeked unfortunate has been on display for some months. His eyes are sunken and dark-rimmed. He claims to know secret things.

Help him escape

Do you crave his secrets? Or does his story move you?

Leave him to rot

There are dangerous people locked up here. he may be one of them.

The cat-chaser

Unlocks: making progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers 11, in the Labyrinth of Tigers, Navigating Coil 3, The Hunt is On! 8
This cat-chaser has given up hope. His cage sits in a forgotten corner of the third coil. He doesn't even ask to be set free.

Leave him where he is

You could mention him to the Duchess when next you meet. A subtle reference might make her smile.

Set him free

However many cats he caught, he didn't deserve this.

A night for escapes

Unlocks: making progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers 12, in the Labyrinth of Tigers, Navigating Coil 3, The Hunt is On! 8
Quiet in here tonight. The tigers are holding an ibex salon at the Tiger Keeper's office. The keepers are mostly watching the second coil fights. There's nobody around. If you wanted to set someone free, now's the time.

Set a revolutionary free

It's odd to see a revolutionary brother here, rather than in New Newgate.

Set a nun free

She seems unperturbed by her confinement. Still, assisting in the escape of nuns is probably a moral duty of some sort.

Set a rubbery man free

Tentacles wave wearily behind the bars. He (she? it?) doesn't look happy, but then again they seldom do.


Gold Bordered Card


This card can be played anywhere.

Thump!

What is someone doing, sending you lead postcards?

Thump!

That's a heavy thump on your doormat. Is someone sending you lead postcards?
unlocked with making progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers 13, Dangerous 110

The fist and crook

The extra weight is the seal on the envelope. It's a huge, terribly old-fashioned thing. The imprint in the wax is of an iron gauntlet holding a shepherd's crook. That's the seal of the Bishop of Southwark.
