Ladybones Road Update

We've just updated the Ladybones Road content available at Watchful 23-35. This includes:
- A new structure: explore the changing options on the Life on Ladybones Road card (this includes a mix of old and some new content aimed at level-appropriate players). Challenges and rewards have been revised in-line with our recent spate of early content revamps.
- Explore the Clay Quarters: you can now explore the warrens of the Clay Men hidden under Ladybones Road! A light buffet of new content aimed primarily at characters with Watchful of about 25, although there are a couple of options for Persons of Some Importance. You may even run into some familiar characters...
- We've revised the story of the Disappearing Heiress: as one of Fallen London's most iconic stories, we've left the text largely untouched, but reworked the structure so it uses the Pursue a Case system. If you are already a Finder of Heiresses, this content will not be available. If you were partway through the content your progress has been largely preserved - a new card in Ladybones Road will help you find it.
- An update to the Pursue a Case card: we've revised rewards, costs and difficulties. Some existing options have been made more frequent and some new options have been added. It's also easier to tell when you've unlocked a new development in a case.
If you, our beloved forum denizens, would like to take a look and send us bug reports if you run into any bugs or typos, it would be much appreciated! I'm happy to answer questions, too, if anyone has them.

The Disappearing Heiress story made up almost all the original content for this tier. Once we moved it to a separate Case we needed a load of new content to plug the gap. While reviewing the original content the Clay Quarters jumped out at me as a great idea, but I don't think we'd even mentioned them anywhere else! Expanding them felt like a good fit.
We've also developed more Clay characters since this content was originally written: the Pirate Poet, Soap, Jasper and Frank. This was an opportunity to introduce some of them to early players.

So excited that you forgot to refer to yourself as "we!"

Without revealing too much: on the Frank and Jasper and Soap fate-locked storylet, there's a typo in the very last sentence. "The moon-pearls clatter happily its pocket." I'm assuming that was meant to be "clatter happily out of its"?
Otherwise, this content is marvelous. There hasn't been a lack of Clay Man content, but it's the sort of subject that remains interesting no matter how much we hear about it //hyperbole.
