Branden, may I ask what’s the Quality connected with your pet, and what phrase describes it?

@Branden Linton

[quote=Dave ][quote=streetfelineblue][quote=Dave ]Taciturn Mynah is +1 Respectable, and does not yet appear to have is own icon (same as the dazed raven adviser- unless mynah birds are also white in the neath.) It also comes with the Fingerwork quality.

What faction gives you the Taciturn Mynah, if I may? I’m compiling a little guide out of personal curiosity.[/quote]

The Docks. A fine gent was kind enough to loose him at dice just before mentioning he wasn’t worth anything.[/quote]

What were you gambling for if I might ask?[/quote]

I was there for an unrelated clandestine meeting; the gambling was just flavor text from the outing.

[runehofseth]

The Quality connected with Branden(and mine atleast)'s pet are[color=rgb(255, 255, 255)] the same as the tomb colonists[/color]

That’s to say, [color=rgb(255, 255, 255)]the Gate of Garden?[/color] Thanks very much!

Has anyone gotten the turtle from the concept art recently revealed (http://community.failbettergames.com/topic190-sneak-peek-shh-dont-tell.aspx)?

I do! She’s a tortoise. An anarcho-tortoise. I’ll put her on my mantle.

[jonbrehaut]

I’m a little sad that alot of my pets dont give any adjustments, Surely an Ocular Toadbeast is a little bizarre or am I out of touch with society these days and they have become passe? (I have been away exploring awhile)

and just WHERE are everyone getting all these wonderful new pets from? I’ve not seen any cards or locations offering them? Do I need to retread some of the old stories?

Agreed, though I suspect, as the system is yet larval, we shall see further Respect/Dread/Bizarre modifiers as we go. The Toadbeast is bizarre indeed, and (as the best Shadowy pet currently available) should be popular.

The new pets are available through storylines beginning as opportunity cards in the four starter areas!

Interesting! May I ask what quality did it bring?

[Diptych]

She is, interestingly, a Respectable tortoise. Perhaps it’s her wise old soul showing through.

[streetfelineblue]

@Sir Frederick Tanah-Chook

No, I meant… There are four Story qualities that are given together with the pet (with my [color=rgb(255, 255, 255)]Hungover Terrier[/color] came [color=rgb(255, 255, 255)]Fingerwork[/color], for example), and I’m recording them as well.

Oh, I do beg your pardon! 'twas The Eyes of Icarus.

[streetfelineblue]

Thanks very much! Only one Connection to go ^^

Fascinating - thank you very much for compiling those! So, for some reason, the Orient and the Rubbery Men have no stake in menagerie. And may I incidentally add that “Racing slug of fine pedigree” should take the award as Phrase of the Week.

Edit: It’s rather curious that there’s no Orient option… as that would make a total of twelve, allowing for four each of the three stat boosts, and three each of the four qualities. As it is, we’re something Bizarre and Lapsarian short of perfect balance.

[streetfelineblue]

Orient, Rubbery men, Duchess and Masters of the Bazaar, though the last two don’t surprise me (although, the Duchess gifting a cat to somebody who rendered her a service wouldn’t be TOO farfetched). I don’t know if there’s a plan to implement afterwards, or, more probably, they just didn’t feel the need for perfect symmetry.

Right now I’m more dying to know what these new qualities do… SPOILER[color=rgb(255, 255, 255)]The Gates of the Garden[/color]*SPOILER seems VERY interesting _

[ruphoschartenhauer]

@Sir Frederick Tanah-Chook

The new pets are available through storylines beginning as opportunity cards in the four starter areas!

Ah, that explains it! I’ve spent most of my time since the update re-educating a certain lady at Mahogany Hall and was beginning to wonder why I never saw any of these new opportunity cards…
What I’d like to know in advance is: can you get ALL of these pets, or do you have to decide on one? Or one for each of the three new qualities?

Judging by what @EchoBazaar says on Twitter, you can have only a pet at a time: to have another you should abandon the first, though for the life of me I don’t know HOW. In fact, I got the card a second time and it read "You can’t play this card if your [color=rgb(255, 255, 255)]Hungover Terrier[/color] is higher than 0 "

I wonder, do the opportunity cards for the new pets ALSO only appear in the starting four areas?
