Delicious Friends, I am in need of some clarification. I had, acquired, a unique painting ( http://echobazaar.wikidot.com/uncovering-secrets-framed-in-gold) and chose to take it to my recent acquaintance, the Repentant forger (card 2, option 3) and instead of receiving any sort of truly visible confirmation, I was told to, “Wait for the next opportunity.” (Not the reward listed on the wiki sadly; I was really looking forward to 700 proscribed materials!).
Is this next opportunity the next time that particular one appears or supposed to literally have been the next opportunity?
I can’t speak for the fate-locked portions, but I’ve sold my frame at least 20 different times. As long as you don’t have a frame, you have a chance of drawing the steal card.
And yes, the fate-locked options appear again after having run that storyline once. Don’t forget that selling reduces Scandal as well as gaining silk and Society.
