I understood that the former happened.

Plucking the rose made him scream in pain, i think... though that's worrying in its own way.

The choices of what to do with these folks' confessions are now open! So far, Sir Fred's kept every secret - I wasn't always sympathetic to the confessors, but a confidence is a confidence. And I took some pleasure in telling the devil to go... home. I'm not entirely sure I understand the final choice, though, and what it implies.

If you mean guarding people and things, it is just a repeatable storylet for you to grind Inklings.

Ahaaaaa. That makes sense; thank you!
[spoiler]Also, I'm more and more convinced that the Haunted Doctor killed March. And... if he was a devoutly Christian, temperance-campaigning coffee trader called John, with offices in the publishing district... that suggests John Cassell of the Working Man's Friend.[/spoiler]

DragonRidingSorceress kept every confession... so far.
I haven't decided what to do with the Haunted Doctor. I feel sorry for him, personally, but I do like getting in the way of the Liberation of Night.

DragonRidingSorceress is an Author of good standing. Mostly good standing. She's happy to accept any social action except Photographer and Loitering, but requests warnings before duping/poisoning/etc.
Seeker of Names is a... being with an obsession. They're willing to accept all invitations.
One who seeks to know all that is and may be. One who dances in the silence of the void. One whose fantasies make the reality come alive.

There are some interesting rare successes and failures in there. Apparently SOMEONE hasn't been keeping their gossipy lily sufficiently potted! (glares at light-fingered coffineers)

I kept the Nacreous Outcast's confession and find the conversation with the Constable quite hilarious. I can just imagine how my character "translated" the confession with a straight face.

I agree that a confidence is a confidence, so I will be betraying no one despite any short-term advantage.
Well, except for poison and dupes, but it's hardly a betrayal when it's asked for!

[spoiler] So if, say, someone wanted to hinder the Liberation of the Night as much as possible (TEAM MASTERS FOREVER), would it be best to betray the Doctor's confession, or stay quiet? [/spoiler]

What rewards do you estimate for betraying? has anyone betrayed any of these people yet?

My alt did some betrayal - I think they got double spirit, but that's about it. The items were near enough the same, or nothing rare enough to justify a betrayal . . . so if you want spirit, best to betray, no noticeable benefit for keeping confidence as of yet.
You mean they got 8 instead of 4? interesting... I'll keep the option in mind. thanks!

I think that, rather, betrayals get half the spirit but double the material rewards.

So only 5 echoes worth of goods? disappointing. I'd only betray the one i really dislike, then... hmm... should i even betray at all? RP means I'm conflicted, otherwise i wouldn't bother.

4 spirit, 2.50 echoes and a second chance vs 2 spirit, 5 echoes and being a terrible person.
Honestly I expected a bit more out of this
Notably, keeping the Bandaged Poissonier's confession gave me 5 Moves in the Great Game, I thought those were exclusive to the charitably mysterious bundle, but apparently not.

Ignacious, the Fluid Professor, he will accept most social invitations, including boxed cats and affluent photographers (but only betrayals), though he is absent-minded and might take more time than entirely necessary. He apologizes.

None of the charity items are exclusive. Charity items provided exclusive *early access* to the items that at the time were not widely available.

Betrayal gave better story snippets, though. I was super satisfied by the snippets (and hadn't realised the material difference in the Outcast's living conditions for those without it as a companion. ( nooooo))
Like, damn. DEVILS.
