I have had NOTHING but failure after failure on all my Shadowy rolls today..... so my Suspicion is getting out of hand.... still trying to keep my Nightmares under control.... and I don't want to spam folks with requests....
So either I stop trying Shadowy for a while.... or just go ahead and get tagged....
So how bad is prison?

New Newgate has some fun little tidbits, and you can pick up an acquaintance with the Repentant Forger. It's worth visiting at least once - just don't make it a habit, as raising your criminal record too high will lead to increasingly severe punishments and reduce the efficacy of the absolution solution.

It should be noted that if you end up in New Newgate via failing to rob the Brass Embassy, you'll skip the court storylet and won't raise your criminal record. If you think you're going to get caught eventually anyway, might as well go out with a bang.

Yes, robbing a Casing event and failing here does send you directly to jail (with no trial and no criminal record/record increase.) Be advised that things like other Heists (including the Big Scores) if you fail big enough will send you to Trial, not directly to jail. Should you get to 8 on a failed screen, buy an absolution and/or use it immediately and do not continue the story; just use that immediately!
As noted, there are some cute stories here and it's the only place to get the Forger.
Besides your first time (which gives you a bonus reduction to your Suspicion,) this is highly recommended how to go to Jail if you can't lower it and you know you have to do the deed (rob the Embassy and fail safely if you will.) Then again, if you can't spend a couple of turns on other player social actions to lower Suspicion, there's a whole other difficulty (but it happens sometimes.)

I'm afraid that won't work as a method to get rid of your suspicion. you need a low suspicion of no more than 2 (and now Master Thief 2) to rob the Brass Embassy.

Also, failing to rob the Embassy will nuke your Connected: Hell to oblivion and reduce shadowy by 50 CP, just something to consider if you really want to avoid that trial.

Ignacious, the Fluid Professor, he will accept most social invitations, including boxed cats and affluent photographers (but only betrayals), though he is absent-minded and might take more time than entirely necessary. He apologizes.
