No I haven’t played that one! I never even bought it yet.
It is not a bug. I hadn’t walked through the Candied Door yet! I was able to find at least six of them before going through the door, and Mr Lures was not to be found until after I had.

Have you checked your Exceptional Library, just to see if it’s there? Maybe you’ve found something like a rare easter egg…

So the elephant is a home comfort that increases Bizarre and Nightmares. Because of course.

It’s brilliant that from now on, wherever I go in Fallen London, there will be an elephant in the room but no one will ever mention it.
In fact, there’ll probably be several elephants in every room because everyone will have one.

My Fallen London playtest happened this evening, and every time a player moved to a new scene I observed “You are unable to see any elephants here.”

Do we have a trick to get to Kings’ Song 7 reliably yet, or is it still random? I’d really like to get Melodies before I solve the case for good
OMG, the ending of the hunt for the Masters!

I must’ve royally messed up somewhere; none of the hidden Masters, besides from the few I’ve managed to catch, show up in their respective supposed locations and the Candied Door storylet is gone. Evaporated. Doesn’t show up anywhere in London.
According to the wiki there’s a quality called ‘An Inversion of Local Authority’ which I’ve somehow managed to raise to 77, at that point it apparently locks you out from finding Masters and turning them in.
Bollocks and arse!
Get Melodies? What do you mean?
The Melody option in the Book of All Hours: Ephemoptera requires you to have King’s Song 7. I got it through luck though so now I just have to wait for it to be that hour again.

Need help locating Mr Lures and Mr Generals.
Mr Lures: I went to the Fate page, it’s not listed on my list of 2025 stories.
Mr Generals: I see no ‘sidebar ad’ other than the one on the right featuring the Mandrake game, located below the ‘Travel’ button.
If it’s thoroughly impossible to resolve, I would like to have the access code links for these two.
Mister Dinners turned into Mr Eaten before my eyes and I nearly shoved my laptop off the desk!

I got that one when I did it with just 5 rats. But I tried with your number and got the “No Evidence of Elephants 1,234 None to be found.” Stories text but I still have the one about Mary FWIW.
For Mr. Lures, I don’t think there was a code, you had to specifically click on things, so I’m not sure what you can do other than contact Failbetter. Or maybe try logging in with another browser/device?
For Mr. Generals, the sidebar ad just gives guidance what to do next, which is: TWENTY-ONE GUN SALUTE. You should be able to do that part. Spoiler on what that means, if you want it: use the storylet where you fire off a bunch of blunderbusses, with the right number in your inventory
Arrgh how do I get the bloody elephant? I’m locked out of the Song now. I don’t have Marked by kindness anymore either.
– wait I need THAT MANY rats? Jesus. This is what happens when I give up coffee on medical orders.
– this is a cruel gameplay moment for those of us who have dyscalculia
– AHA
– my husband just asked me wtf I was doing. "Not hunting an elephant!’ I said triumphantly. “Oh wait. This is that Bazaar game thing isn’t it …” (I played it back when it was Echo Bazaar)
FBG can use me as an indicator for the People Who Take So Long To Get It, You Applaud When They Finally Do group of players. lol

I went through that door, Mr Lures still can’t be found on the Fate page.
I have done three so far: Mr Nobody, Mr Swears and Mr Thunders.
Perhaps you need to find a minimum of six others first before Mr Lures appears? Can anyone verify this? The wiki is vague about this.
This is incredibly frustrating, that there is a chance I might have locked myself out without knowing.
You definitely don’t need to find others first, I believe Mr. Lures was my 2nd or 3rd. It doesn’t sound like you’ve done anything to lock yourself out, seems like it might be a glitch.

You just need to start the Candied Door storylet first.
Then you go to the Fate page > Purchase Stories.
I’ve entered the Candied door, sat down to a nice meal with Mr Dinners, who then told me to go on a treasure hunt to find his companions. Which I am doing now.
So technically, I have already ‘started’ the storylet, no? Or do I need to go in there again, perhaps do something else?
