Bag a Legend, Part 1

Hannah Flynn Administrator Posts: 491 3/3/2020	Monster-hunters of the Neath brag about the beasts they've bagged, but not the Vake. Bag a Legend Part 1 will arrive today, and you'll get early access via a code I'll post here. I hope you enjoy it! -- Wields the news canon, aboard the hype train.

Even if someone succeeded, that’s practically the definition of Somebody Else’s Problem. edited by The Elfin Cannibal on 3/20/2020 [Edited for clarity, since the original was written in the middle of the night when I was half-asleep.] We can argue that the schemes and plans of the Bazaar and the Masters are extremely short-sighted and petty (which they are) and that this is a definite oversight on their part, but after thousands of years of Vake shenanigans, they probably thought that no human could claim the bounty. Even if Veils is somehow "defeated" by a hunter, Masters are known for being notoriously difficult to permanently kill (like Veils, Cups, Mirrors, and Eaten have proven), so they expect at least some part of Veils to continue existing. If even a fraction of Veils exists, they can easily concoct an absurd excuse to deny giving you the bounty since you did not kill the Vake in its entirety. However, they are downright terrified if you do manage to 100% destroy the Vake, not only because they have to pay a massive bounty, but because of the dangerous determinator that you have proven to be. The Bazaar and the Masters expect you to act like them, to manipulate and control an enemy (like Veils) rather than outright destroy it just for a bounty that cannot reasonably be paid. It means you will go to any lengths to get what you want, someone that cannot be reasoned with or bought out. It shows you are absolutely ruthless in killing every single aspect of Veils instead of taking the easy way out and sparing even one of them for your own gain. More than the possibility of being driven to bankruptcy, the Bazaar and the Masters are rightfully scared that giving you a trillion Neathly dollars would mean that you are coming for them next. As such, my guess is that the Bazaar's version of an "IOU" is to prevent you from getting too mad and uncontrollable with wealth to be a problem, while also enmeshing you in Bazaar politics to continue serving its own interests (to make the most of your bounty, you have to stay near the Bazaar and protect it from outside threats so that it can live long enough to pay you back). In a way, the Bazaar is grooming you to eventually fill the void caused by Veils's absence (Wines gives the warning for a reason). Lastly, they probably hope you die and stay dead or they quickly cycle through the necessary remaining cities long before the full debt is paid. Once the contract for 7 cities is completed and/or you die for real, they are no longer obligated to pay and can avoid paying the full amount. The Bazaar and the Masters often play the long game, sort of like how casinos still profit despite giving the occasional jackpot, and you are reasonably unlikely to live long enough for all of the bounty to come to you. So in the end, according to the Bazaar and the Masters, this is merely a temporary setback. And this is not taking to account that Mr Wines pressures you to kill a friend in the future, a way of reminding you that they still have power over you. And if they are as smart as I think they are, they will want you to kill April, a credible threat that cannot be coerced in any way to work with them. TLDR: The "Bounty" means that the Bazaar is in your debt, but you must continue serving its interests to make the most out of it. That way, the Bazaar still theoretically comes out on top in the end. edited by The Curious Watcher on 3/20/2020 -- The Thirteenth Master of the Bazaar: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Thirteenth%20Master%20of%20the%20Bazaar The Silent Vake Hunter: GONE NORTH The Ravenous Wanderer: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Ravenous%20Wanderer The Melancholic End-Bringer: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Melancholic%20End-Bringer The Lethal Nightmare: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Lethal%20Nightmare

I fear I made the wrong choice for my Monter-Hunter, letting Third City Veils live under a tree. I'm not sure what he did, but I'm not sure that's a harsh enough punishment for it. Do you think there any possibility to get a "rollback" on the choice? I think that's a very strong punishment for Veils. He always prided himself on his strength, his viciousness, and his power. He's not living under a tree in that ending, the tree is becoming part of him. He has to live in a world that is not real, constantly reminded that he is yours. He lost. He is powerless. He can rage all he wants but he can never escape, never change.

Veils was the one who demanded such a bounty, and he was meant to be the main backer, though he, indeed, had no intentions of actually paying a single penny, since the whole thing was a bait for tasty hunters. But the resulting "IOU" is not a mean to control you as a human pawn - surprisingly, the contract was written in Correspondence and included Bazaar itself, and thus is binding on the same level as a city buying ones (that is to say, very). During the audit for your reward it was considered to declare the Bazaar bankrupt and liquidate (heh) the current city to pay off the debt, although they actually manage to find enough loose assets to pool with Veils' property to make just enough. Though liquidation is what the Bazaar and some Masters would prefer, since the reckoning is close and they want to speed up. Pawn part comes from the different angle: previously there was only one dead Master, but now each Ambtion will supposedly kill one, and Bazaar would need replacements. Although you're not under obligation to become one, you are supposed be duped to think it's a privilege instead of slavery, lulled by all the goods already provided, were it not for Mr. Wines and your knowledge from other stories providing some caution. -- https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/Andre%20Alexin Will accept only something interesting.

The Curious Watcher Posts: 263 3/11/2020	I've reached the current boundary and can give a few details about a few things for new players will need for the Base Camp so you don't have to go back and forth from the Parabolan Base Camp to London like I did: 5 Aeolian Screams Both a regular Parabolan Linen Suit & Dress from the Bazaar, some honey, and Strong-backed Labour. Monster-Hunters can ignore spending Strong-backed Labour. 11 Rookery Passwords, 11 Pulsating Amber, or help from Fate-locked Countess of Thorns or an Anchoress. A Parabolan Panther, a Bengal Tigress or a Dream-Hound from the Fate-locked Animal Husbandry A certain step will require 5 Urchin favours to progress if you have started and completed the fate-locked Mysteries of the Foreign Office, or a Bazaar Tear, a Cellar of Wine, and Connected: Masters if you haven't and are not willing to spend fate. If you still have a Half-Wild Mandrake, there's a bit of flavour text after you deliver the payload.

Also the last person to add several pages to this specific ambition before the bomb stuff. Since that ambition’s major updates, I’ve lost the laptop that I’ve worked on, and I’ve also lost a lot of time to work on the wiki. That, combined with the amount of updates to the Ambition (and I acknowledge there are a lot of updates to this specific ambition), has given me less time to update, and working on mobile instead of on a laptop specifically on the wiki is slower for me than with a laptop. (There are no plans right now for me to acquire a laptop, if you’re wondering.) I have been trying to edit what I have that’s not up on the wiki yet, but I have recorded everything I’ve done in the ambition so far, and I’m happy to PM details about the ambition (I have a lot, but I didn’t record everything, like the text that changes some qualities at the lab and past the lab that appears in the “Myself” tab) to anyone editing the wiki. edited by ladyskullface on 3/10/2020

You can't spare all three of them; you can only spare the last one you hunt ASSUMING you did not insist on killing of the Vakes when a storylet asks for you to consider sparing one of them. Surface Veils requires a Favour in High Places, 60 Copper Cipher Rings, and a Stalemate from the Moonlit Chessboard. Given the difficulty of obtaining a Stalemate, this is likely the more difficult option, since Stalemates require both sides have the same score and enough luck with the "Player of Chess" skill check. I don't remember too much about Third City Veils, but hunting it requires the Jaguar Blade, which must be forged in the Laboratory with 5 Ravenglass Knives, a significant amount of Third City Relics, and the help of Lettice the Mercy (5 Tomb Colonist Favours for those who do not have her as a Feast of the Exceptional Rose Companion).

The Curious Watcher Posts: 263 3/19/2020	If you do the Mithridacy option to refuse to spare the Vakes, it locks you out from any option to spare the Vake in the future. Failure increases your Mithridacy and lets you try again. I suggest that anyone picking this option think deeply before picking this option, even if there is no promise binding you to kill the Vake. The Moonlit Chessboard has options that specifically state that they will increase Player of Chess on success, and any successful "Player of Chess" skill check increases the quality as well. If you fail by a large margin (your enemy has 7 points or more), you can pick an option that increases your "Player of Chess" cap by 1 level. For example, you can increase the maximum level possible for Player of Chess from 5 to 6, and so on. Winning a match also increases the skill. You can raise Mithridacy at the Waswood by trying to create a Narrative: even upon failure, it increases the skill. As for "mates", I assume you are referring to the chess rewards. You should be able to have different kinds of mates, but for the purposes of this Ambition, you only need any "Victory" mate to kill Surface Veils or a "Stalemate" to make him your friend. -- The Thirteenth Master of the Bazaar: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Thirteenth%20Master%20of%20the%20Bazaar The Silent Vake Hunter: GONE NORTH The Ravenous Wanderer: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Ravenous%20Wanderer The Melancholic End-Bringer: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Melancholic%20End-Bringer The Lethal Nightmare: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Lethal%20Nightmare

The Curious Watcher Posts: 263 3/21/2020	We have most of the endings, so let me use my real-life Mithridacy skills to convince people to pick "X" option: 1. Killing all three incarnations of Veils lets you publicly brag to everyone that you took down a Master / Vake, a feat that many people tried and failed to accomplish over thousands of years. You kill a Master, you humiliate the other Masters who now have to deal with the inevitable power vacuum, and even the Bazaar is in your debt. For devout anarchists and Liberation supporters, this is probably the most appealing option. 2. For Curator Veils: First, the Vake almost succeeds in hunting you. Then you hunt the Vake, to greater success. Now you ride the Vake like a mere steed. Need I say any more? Curator Veils is a monstrous brute, but one that is the simplest to bring under your control and the only one that can fulfill a person's lifelong dream to fly unhindered over the Neath. As a bonus, it (probably) won't betray you for the LOLs or play unfathomable 4D mind games with you as long as it's fed, so you can rest easier at night if that is a concern. 3. For Third City Veils: This version of Veil, despite creating some of the worst monstrosities in Neathly history that the Masters are still dealing with to this very day, continues to have a massive god-complex and expects to be treated as one. Unlike Curator Veils or Surface Veils, it has no intention to even pretend that it will help you in any capacity or admitting defeat (and only a complete idiot would even consider letting it roam free), so the only option left is to respond with karmic retribution. Third City Veils may be a god, but what is a god to a God-Eater? At the same time, there is nothing more humiliating to a god than being rendered helpless and bound for all eternity. Seekers may appreciate these options the most. 4. For Surface Veils [my guess]: If you sincerely want to be "friends" with Veils and are not simply using it as an excuse to get around Wines's promise, this is likely the option for you. You probably did Veils and the rest of the Masters a favor by purging it of its most volatile aspects, and Veils will finally start acting like a "proper" Master of trade and stratagems for once. Nobody can truly win the Great Game, but by sparing Surface Veils, one would be securing a mutually-beneficial alliance that will let you influence both the Surface and the Neath through its vast network of intelligence and spies. A Master has willingly acknowledged you as its equal, and the Great Game continues in your advantage. Very appealing for players of the Great Game, Master shills, and opponents against the Liberation. -- The Thirteenth Master of the Bazaar: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Thirteenth%20Master%20of%20the%20Bazaar The Silent Vake Hunter: GONE NORTH The Ravenous Wanderer: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Ravenous%20Wanderer The Melancholic End-Bringer: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Melancholic%20End-Bringer The Lethal Nightmare: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Lethal%20Nightmare

For the Long Road branch of destinies, it mentions pretty much every current Master by name except Mirrors and Fires (Apples and Hearts are described separately). I guess according to that ending, Fires wasn't able to protect the Fifth City and went down with it. Regardless, the Road destiny explicitly describes the Masters as "too few".

Next week there will be bone investigation in your lab, which will also produce these. Airags are also rewarded on rare success in Waswood. -- https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/Andre%20Alexin Will accept only something interesting.

With 125 of those, you can buy a Sabre-toothed Skull from the Enthusiast of the Ancient World in the Bone Market. Thanks for the answer! I suppose that means that the once every 4 week reward really is random, will be nice to see what i get the next time. -- https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/Severinus

The Curious Watcher Posts: 263 4/16/2020	For anyone wondering, I have an echo of the monthly Ambition reward here pertaining to claiming the bounty. It looks like my pet theory about the Bazaar possibly attempting to use the bounty as a way to manipulate the Vake-Slayer is accurate. I got some Nightmare reduction and Hinterland Scrip in return, and I don't remember the rest unfortunately. -- The Thirteenth Master of the Bazaar: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Thirteenth%20Master%20of%20the%20Bazaar The Silent Vake Hunter: GONE NORTH The Ravenous Wanderer: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Ravenous%20Wanderer The Melancholic End-Bringer: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Melancholic%20End-Bringer The Lethal Nightmare: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/The%20Lethal%20Nightmare

Hattington Posts: 210 4/17/2020	And I have the monthly Ambition reward below for sparing Curator Veils. The reward is a bump in Making Waves, 4 Hard Earned Lessons, 1 Night-Whisper...and the thrill of being the terror that flaps in the night. https://www.fallenlondon.com/Profile/Hattington -- The Dawnburnt Vake-Rider: https://www.fallenlondon.com/Profile/Hattington

I've spent literal YEARS getting enough Stormy-Eyed to get back in that dragon's noggin and after literally finishing the Ambition I'm still not there yet! You need to go to Mutton Island to increase Stormy-Eyed after unlocking the quality. -- ESs items and quality requirements sheet.

Deathjack999 Posts: 140 4 days ago	I'm going with killing at the Vake-chunks. Killing Curator was the Easiest bit, for the next steps I need 4450 Echoes (Enough for the Derringer, five pairs of VS Boots and 60 Copper Cipher Rings) Whoever decided that dealing with the Intriguer needed 60 Great Game Renown Converters should probably be reprimanded strongly with vigorous finger waggling. edited by Deathjack999 on 5/19/2020 -- Send me anything social, My FL account has the same username as this one.

On the topic of text update, my checking on the Fidgeting Writer bore fruits today, and now we know Fires would send you gratitude for dealing with the Writer instead of Veils. Echo: https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/Larasati/18252314 Curiously - I'm not sure if this is intentional or not - the Manager seems to think that Veils himself is still responsible for the particular wing in Royal Beth, as shown in the echo after that. edited by silurica on 4/23/2020 -- Meika Osborne, the Reckless Researcher Leonard West, the Scarlet Informant Chizuru Nishiooji, the Rueful Ex-Diplomat

Deathjack999 Posts: 140 27 days ago	Okay, one Airag closer to completing the Ambition. Two to go, then I can make 1 Tears. the Lab Refresh has actually been pretty useful, if I get an Opportunity I use it, if I get a Dream of Roses I Walk the Walls with that. Edit: Now I only need one more, and I got the Dream of Roses in the same Draw, so that's good. Edit 2: and that's 7 for 7, now all I need is the Tears.

Optimatum Posts: 3666 4/22/2020	Hattington wrote: It's come to my attention that there's an option for preparing a weapon of vengeance and killing Third City Veils if you did Seeking Mr. Eaten nearly all the way to the end but turned back at the last moment, i.e. when you acquired the Seven-Fold Knock which is apparently what you use to make your weapon of vengeance instead of all the fancy-schmancy book learnin'. Does anyone here have the options for making that weapon/killing Third City Veils echoed, by any chance? You may be conflating two different options. Beginning the research normally requires an Impossible Theorem or a Wink from the Manager, but the Knock can be used instead. Then there is an optional, more expensive option to complete the blade that requires Seeking or the Knock. That gives a different version of the weapon with different killing text. -- Optimatum, a ruthless and merciful gentleman.
