Just a heads up, you actually do need a Ray-Drenched Cinder later on, though you do get a couple of alternate options to acquire one.
Also there is a LOT more to the Nadir thing than just the expedition, holy crap. I won’t spoil anything but it’s pretty damn awesome.
How did you deal with your rivals, in the end? I have 63 supplies, so hopefully I’ll be able to get started in a couple of hours…
In other news, my Watchful is now uncapped again.
I used up most of my supplies raising Archaeologist. I think I’ll get 100 before trying The Cave of the Nadir - sounds like I might need them to ward off rivals. No way I can get the Ray-Drenched Cinder as I only have the one Skull.
I have Archaeologist 5, 100 Supplies, and two Eyeless Skulls… and I haven’t seen sign of the trigger card all day. I am champing at so many bits over here!

Prime-numbered pages from your favourite works of speculative fiction are probably also acceptable. The card will then appear with seemly haste.

Just drew it, so… evidently, even suggesting sacrifices counts as an appropriate sacrifice!
I’m beginning to wonder if there’s some arbitrary requirement I haven’t met, or if the RNG is just having a laugh at my expense.
Maybe it’s time to break out the rats again.
I just got a card that continues the Missionary and Firebrand story which comes to the Forgotten Quarter and needs Arch 5 and one eyeless skull to continue. I put the post I made in “New Content Released?”
Dear heavens, man, the postal system can’t bear it. Couriers are pursued by hungry urchins! Boxed cats are arriving in a frankly unmentionable state! My new hat was delivered bearing a family of seven tiny but respectable rats, featuring a well-appointed parlour, an upstairs shower-bath, and a squirrel lodger who worked as a bank clerk and collected porcelain horses!

My preparations are complete, my side chosen. I have no Eyeless Skulls or Whispered Secrets, and very little Rostygold or Jade. My Nightmares are perilously high. All in all, I feel very fine.

Thanks! I think. I have no idea what that does, but I’m excited about it! I’m sure it will soon become evident.

My thanks. A question: if I were to click on the zero-action option to arrange a meeting with contacts, to look at the options but without necessarily choosing any, would I thereby lose the Favourable Circumstances?
Oh indeed, quite lovely…unfortunately the card fell down the sewer, while I was changing into my coat…smiles. Back to waiting.[li]

[color=#009900]No indeed - I just put that there as a shield while I was transitioning from the old Nex-cost branches.[/color]
Thank you Alexis - with this and the helpful hand on Twitter I will soon be exploring the Cave of the Nadir.
I didn’t realize there was a piece I was missing, and so Alexis’ kind gift was for naught. Do make sure you have your firebrand at 10 before you try to use favorable circumstances
Not often you get to see a screen like this, these days!
