Delicious, Feasting friends! We have just released a new story in Fallen London: the Blemmigan Affair, available for 30 Nex.
A fungal fad sweeps London. Morel-strings garland the lamp-posts. Blemmigans roam the streets. Who is behind this mushroomy mania, and does it hide a darker intent? The Blemmigan Affair is a mischievous story featuring blemmigans, a perilous expedition into Bugsby's Marshes, and inappropriately racy fungal-themed poetry!
The story is intended for newcomers to Fallen London, but experienced players can enjoy it too. It is the work of Richard Cobbett, who - in addition to his extensive and insightful games critique - wrote Saviours Rocks and the Empire of Hands in Sunless Sea.
The Blemmigan Affair is themed to fit with the Feast of the Rose, but will continue to be available from the Fate page after the Feast is over. You can begin the story using the gold "An Escaped Blemmigan" storylet, available throughout London.

One ending gives a unique item, one gives a point of a rare and sought-after quality, one is more financially rewarding. Each ending also unlocks a unique new branch on a Connected card, the results of which scale with a stat. So there's quite a mix, there!

Oh, and oddly few puns. They were there, once, but Failbetter shot them with a special fungal-pun destroying laser. (It was their morel imperative. As was removing a line about someone sampling a moist clitocybe nuda. Shockingly racy mushroom poetry indeed!)

So here begins the campaign for the return of fungus-puns and Latin innuendo.
And, perhaps more importantly, what is this 'new hat'?

Do the other endings not have such an item? That's a shame! Still, a great story - I feel a little more blemmigany for having played it.

Most of the options don't give a unique reward, but one foes give you a friendly new hat (great stats for a new starter). You can see the hat on my profile.

I too am curious of the outcomes if you choose to aid someone other than the Poet. Would anyone mind sending a PM if you decided against poetry?

The forum search seems to be run by the Ministry of Public Decency, and thereby obscures anything you might find useful. Instead, using Google to search just this site with serve you better. For example:

You can also use quotes or other advanced search protocols to further narrow your results, like:

It did clarify what I was doing in sunless sea with Blemmigans.
I didn't profit that much from it, but it was fun.

That was great but I am not stumped as to what final choice to make. I am definitely not going to go with the Auditor option. But between the other two I can't make my mind up...
