A game of survival, trade and exploration in the universe of Fallen London
Getting shafted by nightmares.

I've tried to search for this issue, but every result has advice on how to control terror; I'm trying to find out how to reduce Menaces; Nightmare's Strength.
It's at 18 now. I've failed so many hearts checks for nightmares that it's got that bad, and i'm down to a 10% chance to pass it. Any time I get the event for nightmares results in 100 terror, and a potential game over. I have 46 hours on this captain, the Dreadnaught, Memento Mori and the Fulgent Impeller, and i'm going to lose it all because I rolled badly 16 times in a row.
I'm not entering London at over 50 terror, i'm resting in London every time, but when the nightmare is this strong a restful night quality is useless.
Heeeeeelp me

Are you wounded? (even if you are, ignore that. You can heal wounds with a Hesperidean Apple and at zee.) The Chapel of Lights has a rather unwise option for well-diving that should be helpful.

Thanks. I ended up with a pretty crippled captain, but I survived, just.

Get home and rest! You should be alright after that.
For future reference, keep an eye on your terror and find more ways to reduce it in order to avoid getting more than a 3 or 4. The well option is always there, but fortluna is correct that it's more of a last resort than something you should do with every captain.

About that, does anybody know what happens if you get 7 Weeping Scars? I was hoping it would trigger something but I have the opposite problem, I can't accumulate enough Nightmare's Strength to try it out.

Happy to accept most social actions; will help with menace reduction if it's reciprocated.

You can only ever have one Weeping Scar.

edited by fortluna on 5/6/2015 The well at the chapel has negative consequences? Apart from the weeping scar and the wound?
