Lucky spoiler

An equitable rat-monster

'Bleedin' 'ell,' Pinnock sighs, 'I've no real idea what this lot is worth. She…' he indicates the unconscious Relicker, '…ain't 'arf a pain, but she knows her junk. Just a pity she keeps tryin' to run away. Tell yer wot, grab them lead plates on the back and we'll call it even.'
You were fortunate!

You now have 42 x Correspondence Plaque.

Unlucky spoiler

A pint a week?

Lucky spoiler

Something of a past

unlocked with 120 x Certifiable Scrap, Watchful 125

Reward spoiler(unknown)

Hand over a cartload of scraps for a Night-Whisper

The Shivering Relicker gazes down suspiciously from her seat on the cart. Dealing with her will be difficult today.
unlocked with 160 x Certifiable Scrap, Watchful 150

Success spoiler

Distressing merchandise

Despite the bounty of scraps, the Shivering Relicker is reluctant to give up her prize. 'Don't let it near the Co… the language of Xanadu. Keep it away from the Bazaar spires, and the ruins of previous cities. Altogether too dangerous to take it there. It will talk back. You understand? It will talk back.'
You've lost 160 x Certifiable Scrap

You were fortunate!
5 x Certifiable Scrap.

Unlucky spoiler

Troublesome woman

The Shivering Relicker is too distraught to look at your scraps. Something about endless gulfs of time and terrors deep beneath our feet.
Lost 4 x Certifiable Scrap

Ask the Shivering Relicker to recertify an armful of scraps

Who knows what you have lying around the coal-cellar?

Lucky spoiler

'Oh, I think I'll need to take my time with this one…'

Invite the Shivering Relicker in for a chat

Stoke up the fire and get a really steaming cup of cocoa ready. Pinnock will prowl outside.
unlocked with a Scholar of the Correspondence 1, Nightmares 3
A matter of luck: pretty good odds.

Lucky spoiler

A happy little chat

The Shivering Relicker benefits from warm cocoa and some time away from Pinnock and the cart. Although she doesn't want to talk business, she's quite erudite and occasionally funny. It's good to know that someone burned by the Neath's mysteries can be so easily recovered.
You were fortunate!
Nightmares decrease
