I beg your pardon, but have you seen my soul?

Fallen London
1

A few evenings past, I found my stars rising, my toes warmed by the cheerful fire, and my station secure in one of the Brass Embassy’s guest suites. Well, dash it all if I didn’t accidentally barter my soul off to some confounded infernal wastrel! (accidentally hit the wrong option when the card came up).

Any assistance would be appreciated in this matters! I’ve poured over a few tomes and caught a few cats and have concluded any surprise packages might do the trick, amongst other options which I am currently exploring. Can anyone send me a few when they have a moment? I will return the favor as time progresses, as my resources allow.

A most gracious thank you for your time. I remain yours most respectfully,

W. Bard Esq.

While you are soulless and in the Brass Embassy suite, you might ponder getting an upgrade in Penstock’s Wicket to the 5-card Brass Embassy Sanctum.

well, i recently sold my soul for a really good prize, we can exchange surprise package until we both recover our soul

Surprise packages have but a one in 1008 chance of returning a missing soul. The first, easier persuasive challenge on the One’s Public card gives bundles of oddities of values up to 220 and the required value for a soul is 200 exactly. If you own a ship, choosing to extort a sinking ship gives bundles of up to 300 in exchange for suspicion.

Note that the fate-locked option on the Where’s my soul? card increases significantly in cost with each use.

Ah, well, that would be grand. However, I’m afraid my Taste of Lacre runs toward more plebian deficiencies due to my ignorance on how to handle the situation. I hope it will return next year, though! Thanks for your assistance.

Also, if still investigating the Murder at the University, Pick out some likely candidates is the best non-drawn card option at 1-204. If I didn’t need to get my Owl, I might have delayed my investigation even longer.

Still no soul after Gift exchanges, Performances with my Public and a few Black Flags, but the Relicer does help my sprifting ways at least. GL to all trying to recover this.

one-thousand sided die. Well, roughly 1008.

If you have average luck, and play &quotpick out some likely candidates&quot non-stop, you’d have your soul back in a mere 34 hours worth of actions. Getting it back with one’s public is roughly 220 card draws.

Not easy, but not looking for blemmigan pedant either through those methods, and you can supplement it with the long-odds of a surprise package. and hey, you might get the item that, statistcally, would require an ubergoat’s worth of surprise packages to find. (NOTE: this doesn’t mean a blemigan costs that much, surprise packages have other items, but 10080 echoes is in the same general price range, and that’s the average number you’d need.)

I’ve not yet encountered your soul, but should you find it again you simply must visit for a celebratory dinner!
I’ll make sure to set out my very best crockery and cutlery. :)
