[quote=Optimatum]The bounty is paid.

Congrats! Don’t suppose you had to be anywhere in particular to get your bounty? I’ve been waiting for more than a day but I haven’t got my Curator Veils yet.

102

Hattington, the storylet for sparing your Vake should be in your Lodgings – if you haven’t received a message from the living story and the storylet isn’t there, please contact support. (I can confirm that your name was on the list for the living story to be delivered to you, but it shows as having triggered.)

103

Is anyone actually going to spare the Chess Veils or the 3rd City Veils? I’m waiting to make my choice until I have a better idea what the others give but I’m starting to suspect I’d have to wait months for the others to finally show.

104

If I ever get there I might spare the Third City Veils. I hate Veils too much to merely kill him, and the whole mess with Eaten is a large part of why.

105

Thanks for the heads up, I was out biking this morning but I just got my Vake-Steed and the preview for future FL content! I did indeed get it normally from Lodgings, it might be because I live in an odd timezone so the story fired a little while after I’d had breakfast and left the house.

This is exciting stuff.

107

Oh dear, 6 BDR. That’s something.

It’s on my mantelpiece now, going to try to put it here but not sure if it’ll work

Edit: Drat. Hyperlink image sharing isn’t working for some reason. Here goes:

&quotA Winged and Taloned Steed Formerly Mr Veils 1&quot
&quotTracked across Parabola and around the Order of Days, and leashed into obedience. When you ride it, its talons are your talons and you shriek with its murderous joy. (This can also be used to improve the defences of your Parabolan Base-Camp, if they are at 3.)&quot
&quotDreaded +3; Bizarre +3; Monstrous Anatomy +1; Dangerous +3&quot

How fancy! I’d be very grateful if you would send me screenshots of the option and result for further defending your base-camp. For the Wicked Book.

110

This ambition concluded as well? And you can get a 6 BDR transport item? :)
Opti’s image with the coins, what kind of item is that?

111

The Vake steed seems to be 4 BDR now, which is a tiny bit disappointing. I’m also curious about what kind of slot the coins take.

The &quotbounty&quot for killing the Vake in its entirety is considered an Affiliation.

Sparing Surface Veils also gives an Affiliation, but I don’t know what kind.h

113

To be fair 6 BDR was way above and beyond any other Ambition reward seen so far. And apparently unintended.

114

Does anyone know where “Expertise of the third city” quality comes from, in order to finish researching the jaguar blade?

115

Expertise is created by recruiting Lettice, the Mercy to your lab (via the staffing option) and choosing her card when it comes up. (research in London, not Parabola). You’ll need 5 Tomb-Colonies favors to recruit her, though.

As for me, I killed Surface Veils and I’m in the middle of a hunt right now against Curator Veils. I plan to capture and make 3rd city Veils my pet. Anyone interested in the stats?

116

I’m considering sparing all three Veils aspects just for the sake of seeing a different ending. Has anyone already done that? Or any info about sparing Surface Veils or Third City Veils?

117

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 &quotPlayer of Chess&quot 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). If you do not have a 5-Card Royal Bethlehem Lodging, you also have to spend an Impossible Theorem, which is made from 49 Searing Enigmas at least.

118

At the moment, we have reported cases of every ending except sparing Veils the Intriguer.

119

It would be wonderful if you’re willing to spare Intriguer Veils to give us the info.

120

Damn, thanks for all the info. It seems that I need a lot of materials before starting the hunts. I’ll consider sparing the Intriguer then.
