When your Shadowy is 61-70

51-60

Unfinished Business in Spite.

Perhaps the old place still has a thing or two that's worth the taking.

This storylet unlocks with Shadowy at 70 but individual options all require that one be A Person of Some Importance. This storylet allows one to accumulate specific items necessary for the acquisition of the more expensive items obtained in the Bazaar Sidestreets.

Keep your hands quick Pilfer a few rats from the market stalls. Hardly worth your time, of course, but the prudent thief stays farthest from the gallows. Unlocked with A Person of Some Importance 1 (Shadowy challenge; straightforward at 105) Reward spoiler Making it look easy You move through the crowd when the market is at its busiest, and much later when the costermongers yawn and rub their bristly chins. Your fingers are fast and you soon fill your burlap sack with little furry morsels. Shadowy increase Gain: 100 x Rat on a String

The fellow in the corner You wouldn't bring your intended to this pub for a romantic evening. Actually, you wouldn't bring anyone, unless they were both vicious and armed. But there's a chap in the corner who reckons he can sell you cheap granite figurines. Unlocked with Connected: Criminals 10, 10 x Rostygold, A Person of Some Importance 1 (Shadowy challenge; straightforward at 105) Reward spoiler What a bargain! This fellow doesn't know what he has, packed into his grubby overcoat. Or perhaps their previous owner and the Constables are closing in and he needs to move them tonight. Either way, you've found a bargain. Shadowy increase Gain: 11 x Relic of the Third City Lose: 10 x Rostygold Reward spoiler (Rare) 'What do you make of this?' This is something apart, nothing like the dusty figurines and worn idols. You're sure he doesn't know what he's got here. You're not that sure yourself. You get a scream for a song. Shadowy increase Gain: 1 x Aeolian Scream

Encourage the honest folk of Spite to give you 'gifts' The folks around here will keep you sweet, if they know what's good for them. Unlocked with Ruthless 1, A Person of Some Importance 1 This storylet will cost you 5 actions! Reward spoiler One at a time, now The honest working folk of Spite queue up to buy another week of untroubled life. Despite the reputation of the place, there are many here that are honest, if downtrodden and desperate. The silk-weavers bring you enough scraps and off-cuts to be worth your time. Gain: 450 x Silk Scrap Ruthless increase but no higher than 6

Eavesdropping Spite is a good place to hide yourself. What business is being discussed behind market stalls and under the Flit-ropes? Unlocked with A Person of Some Importance 1 (Shadowy challenge; straightforward at 105) Reward spoiler A new sort of secret The crowd that hides the whisperers can also hide you. Secrets are everywhere, but they grow ever stranger. Once it was all about the Great Game and who was stealing what. It seems that every secret these days is a new illusion for Mahogany Hall, some nonsense about the Correspondence or an upward estimation of the number of soulless in London. These are complex times. Shadowy increase Gain: 50 x Cryptic Clue

Rob a glim shipment Rubbery Men move glim around Spite. Sometimes, carts full of the stuff. Unlocked with A Person of Some Importance 1 (Shadowy challenge; straightforward at 105) Reward spoiler Pant pant Your breath is coming hard now.

Shadowy increase Gain: 100 x Glim (This is not the best action for Glim. More can be scored at Mahogany Hall, by educating Lyme, the Clay Man. Teaching Lyme tests Persuasion, while stealing the Glim here tests Shadowy.)

Unlocked with Connected: Hell 10, A Person of Some Importance 1 (Shadowy challenge; straightforward at 105) Reward spoiler The wages of sin 'Yes, yes, your account at the Embassy will be credited with these fine souls. Now, run along and gather up some more.' 'He he he.' Shadowy increase Gain: 50 x Soul

Ambush a few couriers for old times' sake Does that bring back memories of simpler, poorer times? Perhaps.
