Hello Delicious friends!
"The Aunt and the Embassy" keeps appearing in my deck. There's a "Drink to Forget" option, which I've done enough times now for my liver to make a polite request for me to cease and desist.
There's an option to rescue the troublesome aunt, which requires 15 Fate to pursue. I've only got 11 Fate left. It's sorely tempting to obtain more Fate and mount a rescue, but I have to be careful with my surface currency.
I'm seeking opinions from anyone who has rescued their aunt. Is it fun? Is it worth 15 Fate? Is it worth procuring more Fate specifically for?
It suddenly occurs to me that as you're not in my head, you might not know what I mean by fun. I mean, lots of choices and things happening and stuff to read, as opposed to "you rescue the daft cow and gain +1 magnanimous" or so.

Of the three ending cards, one pays out 90 pence, another in a menace drop (2cp scandal & suspcion, some MW & Church increase), and the Masters option pays out in the chance for action refreshes.

Rescuing your aunt requires a fair amount of skulduggery and soul trading. You also get to attend a rather tipsy ball at the Brass Embassy. If you like any of these things you might find the story fun. Also, having a rescued Aunt might open up new stories in the future, if the Seven Day Reign is a sign of things to come.

Just to clear this up, is rescuing your aunt from devils all you need to finish the aunt story, get the ending(and action regen)?
No, you've just unlocked the second half of the Aunt storyline, the finish of which can give you action refreshes (side with the Masters for your refreshes).

Send her to Mr Wines. It has a low chance of refreshing your actions and is a net gain. All of the other options are just bad.

Agreed. It's about 30%, with a failure giving some wounds, which averages to 3 actions per usage (or gaining two).

I think all the endings give the Carnelian option.
Which does? 
It's basically a better version of the Blue Bazaar.

For I was hungry, and you gave me rats. I was thirsty, and you gave me rats. I was naked, and you gave me rats. The rodents were gathered together, the cats slept in the Sun’s blindness, and the rats rose like the Moon, in the light at the edge of the cheese.

Gives 15 of one or the other token. I seem to get that one more often than Blue Bazaar, for some reason.

No. You only need to make the one payment. Unless you regret the card you get at the end of it, in which case you can pay fate to choose something different.

I enjoyed it. But I go ahead and spend about a netflix subscription each month on fate. So your mileage may vary. The whole process of helping her once she's rescued was intriguing to me though materially only one of the options seems to be felt to be valuable on the forums.

Maintaining a controlling interest in my soul requires a pretty constant negotiation between the various shareholder interests. Thankfully the Fingerkings 23% control makes a pretty good foil to unite the other factions enough to get to 51%.

It's not incredibly interesting storywise, but there's some decent snippets and a couple reasonably profitable cards based on ending.
