Good evening, fellow Fallen Londoners.
With the help of a rather avaunt guard ballet, I have reached the Tomb-Colonies with the intent of securing a Tomb-Lion to bring back with me. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to pick up the brute’s trail. Can anyone advise me on how to begin my hunt?
Obliged…

Hiding in the cards so well again? This thing should give a huge shadowy bonus, be patient.
You’ll need Dangerous 70, a Tincture of Vigour, and Making Progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers 16.
And after that just flip a lot of cards, don’t get kicked out of the tomb colonies for low scandal until you do. Card RNG can be fickle, sometimes I’ve gotten it immediately and sometimes I’ve come in at scandal 8, and still had to waste a bunch of time at scandal 0 flipping cards until I got it.
You can’t get kicked out in the sense of an auto-correct storylet like the Mirror Marshes or the Slow Boat on the river. You’ll have to spend 5 actions to leave.
Any tips on how to earn Scandal fast? Been trying to get into the Tomb-Colonies for a while now.
I’m not sure where you are, but either equip a Talkative Rattus to fail challenges or set up a quality based challenge that gives scandal on failure. I like Teaching a Louche Devil in Mahagony Hall
I’m pretty sure you can buy a hat that gives you scandal, too.
Both the Modish Bonnet and the Scarlet Stockings give +1 Scandal, and at least 1 Scandal remains after you take them off even if you do nothing else.
Convince someone to send you either scandal dupes (6 scandal reduction for them, 6 gain for you) or standard scandal reduction (4 reduction for them, 1 gain for you).
Only if you started out with zero Scandal. Otherwise the added Scandal goes away when you remove the item.
If you are a hedonist, you can also kiss cold blue lips of Counterfeit Head of John the Baptist.
(You might also want to be attending to the needs of a singular plant — so that it is heavy with fruit. This is how you could obtain the Head. It is probably not the best way to raise Scandal.)
Mind though that if you’re aiming for Scarlet Saint or have both Austere and Hedonist above 10 (crazier things have happened) you’ll have to halve one of your quirks to leave.
