A relatively minor failure, but:
Ah, well. Next week, perhaps.
Spent all my Nex on expedition, thinking I can get more cheap Nex with Rubles.
And than the VAT change happened and Rubles-Nex doubled in price. Gah!
Gloria’s been stuck in the Tomb-Colonies all night looking for a Tomb-Lion. Still haven’t found one.
Edit: Yay, it’s turned up!

Went zailing with Dramatic Tension 2.
Another zailing one - forgetting to have enough MW to protect my Notability, oversleeping so I didn’t get back to London before Time came calling and then having masquing turned into enough MW to protect me for two weeks … after I lost a level.
Literally just happened- been hunting the Skin of the Bazaar card to get SFiG 60 for a while. Drew it the other day, been saving it in my hand until the RNG gives me enough opp cards to get SotC to 10
Today, accepted a Polite Invitation without thinking, clearing my hand. Whoops.

Consumed the Gaoler’s Honey. Visited a unique area. Used a couple of actions there and left. Found out less than a minute later that A: That area had several unique Cards available, some of which even give Fate and B: There’s no way to go back there. Ever.
Nevermind the fate, really. It’s the fact that I’ll never, ever get to see those cards that really burns. Even if I start up an alt at some point, I’ll be pursuing a different Ambition, so I won’t get anywhere near the red honey…
Went on 5 or 6 or 8 trips to Gallery of Serpent. All Eyeless Skulls, which really blows when you are tip-toeing around the Liberation of Night.
Nevermind, finally hit the Elements.

Does it count if it’s a hardware failure? My computer decided to die on me. D: On a brighter side, at least now I should be able to play Sunless Sea. I didn’t think my 7 year old desktop would be able to handle it. [li]

Oh, how I envy you. If only I could turn back time and never pick those d___d cards. If only I listened to the tiny voice that begged me to stop and resisted the urge to gorge on Fate until I got forcibly kicked out of the Chambers. Of all the choices I’ve made in Neath, this is one thing I regret the most.
(You’ll understand once you get to the garden and learn the true price of red honey)
I’ve been trying to get that damn plant in my lodgings out of my opportunity deck and accidentally sold it for the SECOND time.
oh. ouch.
I’ve gone to the nadir, missed all the good cards, came out with an epa of ~1.5- and promptly went mad from too many nightmares. that was yesterday. I should have stayed in there longer, and just accepted the stat debuffs. oh well…
In a haze of sleep deprived confusion I mistook the sell your plant icon for the cider dream icon and had an unfortunate misclick.
My poor Singular Plant, Little Saint Lily, who was but a few cp off of level 19 and who has been my constant companion and loyal friend since my very first days here in the neath is now gone and passed away. This was a terrible loss of a dear friend at a time when I have given up so much already and have little resources left to rebuild my singular plant. RIP Lily, you will be missed ):

Accepted a Polite Invitation on the spur of the moment. Had both A Dusty Bookshop and A Little Omen in my hand :(
Eyeless Skulls x 2 from the Fate-locked expedition >:T
Failed a 97% chance check twice in a row.
I discovered that when your Watchful base is over 200 (thanks to Notability), if you lose some Watchful because of a failure on a test, your Watchful base decrease and… you cannot rebuild it except with Notability. I went from 206 to 205. Outch ! >_< Have to grind Notability to 6 again if I want to get my level back. Life in the Neath is hard !

That sound like a bug. A main quality (such as Watchful) shouldn’t decrease because you’ve failed a challenge.
What was the action which caused this?
I remember a failed attempt of mine to rob the Brass Embassy, with 90% casing… alas, I succeeded later - after escaping Newgate prison again - with 40%. I’m still angry about failing with 90% and losing all my connections to Hell though.
