Here’s this week’s thread for any quick questions about Fallen London you don’t want to start a whole separate thread for!
My opinion is that Attend a Church Service (70% chance success) is a scam.
You can get five or six consecutive failures, one lucky success, then another failure streak. The math is most definitely not mathing.
It seriously should be this vexing to lower a menace, unless you’re just intentionally nudging players to use items or social actions to achieve it.

Plus, you can’t use it to get below 2. The reductions are more significant than the increases, but I agree – it’s one of the more frustrating actions. Which does mean having to appeal to a friend, delicious or not, to become entirely scandal-free.

There are certainly better options once you’re A Person of Some Importance, especially when you’re above 5.
I think you can visit the Waswood before being APoSI, and so you could have A Hard-earned Knack for Repair or In Mr. Huffam’s Good Graces. That plus buying A Carnelian Sapphire Pendant, would allow aPoSI to take the expected average reduction from -1.1 to…
…-1.16? Huh. That’s not as much safety as I thought. The satisfaction of nothing happening despite getting the unlucky outcome feels bigger than those numbers.
So buy a bottle of Instant Ablution Absolution and don’t go to church? That’s terribly on-brand advice from me even though I promise I set out writing this expecting to end up suggesting the opposite. Also exile isn’t the worst thing in the world. Say hi to a bandaged lion who lives there! (Such a sweetie. Oh who’s a good lion. Yes yes you are.)

Has there been any compilation of answers to the Baited Riddles? I was looking over the riddles thsmselves on the wiki and realised just how little of Fallen London’s deep lore I have learned so far.
You just needed to scroll down to the comments.
