Marigold Station

But that would make the Creditor love her less. It wants the multiple personality.

Also, that’s kind of hilarious. “Hey, I fixed your face. Now be a town.”

[quote=Aro Saren]At least there’s no development costs aside from statue.

Pity I already got a huge pile of scrip.

Can you restore Furnace’s face and then turn her into town?

Yes. You’ll also restore Cornelius’ face in the process, which might impact what will happen if he is appointed the head of the new city.

I wonder: there’s a quality Hinterland City: Refused. Does it mean that the Creditor might refuse the substitute completely?..

And still the best way would be to install Furnace as both the city and the leader.

Refused means you refuse to take part in the process.

I don’t think it’s said that specifically?

It’s used if you choose ‘Refuse entirely to perform the implantation’.

Minor addenda. Firstly, you need two items from this list. Secondly, there are Fate-locked options as well: having completed The Brass Grail counts as an item, as does having completed For All The Saints (although that is mutually exclusive with Null and Void). They might require specific endings from those stories, I’m not sure.

So… so far this seems to be the slowest station. Wait three weeks, maybe four, to see what happens once you get all the

Hell knick-knacks by entering it. Wait a week (doesn’t seem to reset after Time the Healer, probably is AN ACTUAL WEEK, to be called upon by the dauntless knight, wait weeks for developments on the tracklayer city, wait, wait, wait…

Seriously underwhelming for a final station.

Mine reset with Time the Healer today. The message was:

Memory fades; Hell’s touch on you diminishes. Another visit may be permitted.

Can confirm. Got two of the flowers now I think? All things considered Hell seems remarkably benign for the place that left the Hell-Scarred Gondolier well, Hell-Scarred. I’m not even picking up any wounds or nightmares from my visits like on my first visit!

You misunderstood.

Visits to Hell reset. The dauntless knight wait is what seems to be an entire week, because it didn’t.

We’ll see how these visits progress over time. The lock conditions imply something that a third flower will be a qualitative change. The passages of The Book of Trezigor are concerning.

Damn, I don’t like the way that worked. My first trek into Hell itself was just after TtH. I was told I could come back in a week, and that was it. Was something else supposed to happen? To call it anticlimactic is a bit of an understatement. So anticlimactic that I have to wonder if there was a glitch and I should put in a support ticket.

Well, it’s anticlimactic because it’s not the climax - it’s the first step of what looks to be a long, multi-step process.

Not least because &quotFurnace Ancona, in control of herself&quot has a lovely ring to it, in addition to the double-meaning :)

“The Devils said something about not wanting to interfere with ‘such a colossal vanity.’ They were very insistent that I take the opportunity to do one more sculpture.”

I’m assuming this is something different if you HAVEN’T built a statue to yourself at every station?

Wiki says it shows at 8 statues, including the one in London, but values of 6-7 are missing.
1-5 - “not wanting to break a pattern”.
0 - everyone’s guess.

I got that and I didn’t build a statue to myself at every station. I did build multiple statues to myself, but not all.

So, no news on the last watchful gains, Spices’ pregnancy or Stones’ meddling?

We did learn that Spices’ baby-mama(?) is the Creditor’s lawyer-devil.
