Okay, so... I have two Night Whispers, and I need Storm Threnodys. Threnodies? Therenodyies?
Ahywho, What's the easiest way of grinding/getting the damn things? Do I want to collect a bunch of Shrieks or Prayers or Plaques? I heard there was a Rubbery hound Neathymon that gives them?
Speaking of the Rubbery hound, I have to actually see if I have any actual use of the University at this point. I've been reluctant to allow myself to get kicked out, as well, I do like the university. But Apparently to get to Flute Street I need to get kicked out of it, yes?

No SMEN actions please. Loitering is just trouble.
Feel free to send me other stuff tho! Thank you.

There's so much Greek in this game we might just as well switch to the appropriate alphabet: Θρηνωδίες.

The Duke of Waltham welcomes requests for assistance from those troubled by menaces, and His Grace's townhouse is always open to visitors who will not attempt to steal the silverware or extract support for yet another ill-advised scheme concerning photographers.
H. Cartwright, secretary.

Grind casing in the Flit, steal Journals of Infamy via thefts of a particular character.
Then convert 'em to Correspondence Plaques -> Aeolian Screams -> Storm Threnodies.

Stealing Journals of Infamy is most efficiently done, and probably most efficient overall, if you have a Gang of Hoodlums and an 100% success chance on the associated shadowy challenge for building casing.

Ach, I'm being such an accountant at this game, but..
Does anyone know if gaining ST through converting rubbery hound is better than other methods - EPA wise?
That includes traveling to *a certain place* through the short cut, doing the carousel (the late part of the carousel gives about 1.45 echos per action), getting the hound and readying it at the 4th coil.
I estimated 1.3 echoes per action, which I think is roughly equivalent to (maybe a tiny bit better than?) using thefts of a particular character.
[spoiler]I believe it takes 39 actions to go to Flute Street, run through the cycle, and return to London. You'll net ~ $15.50 and a Rubbery Hound.
Pulling out all the stops while breeding takes 22 actions.
You have ~75% chance for 5 threnodies, ~25% chance for 4 threnodies (average: $59.5)
So 61 actions for 75 echoes.[/spoiler]
The downside is that you miss out on opportunity cards in Flute Street, including the Urchins. The bright side is that you can feed the whispered hints you acquire at Flute Street into forgotten quarter expeditions, and net yourself some more storm threnodies that way.
Also, Flute Street is great.
