QM: since you rolled so well here,
>>5694450>Rolled 6and you felt a little cheated out of the 6 you rolled earlier,
>>5692401>>5692839with the "Nothing happens" hehe, I will be very generous and let you transfer that success on this if you want (it was a 1/6 chance, ie only on a rolled 6)
>Try and follow the horse groom who fled Enoch Lusk, retracing his steps into the Rookeries and slum district You recall the warning of your Coachman Enoch Lusk (at the very beginning of the game) that this is a lawless and dangerous area, where you may be set upon at any time by thieves, cutthroats and other criminal elements.
>What does the ascended rite: The Hollow Tree do?QM: you are not formally trained in magic, so you are never entirely sure until you try... but you suspect this upgrade essentially strengthens the original spell, Tree Of Thoughts. When cast in advance and accompanied by the sacrifice of ONE item which is permanently lost, The Hollow Tree will reveal EVERY random table or probability for a brief duration (eg, if cast before a battle, you will see the branching likelihood for EVERY action over the course of the entire battle). At the very least, it may provide useful information about what enemies may be capable of doing. Beware: picking the best probability (ie easiest, most likely to succeed) course of action is not necessarily the best outcome, sometimes you need to hazard a few perils... Remember also that this rite should be best cast BEFORE you encounter dangers and decisions, as it may be too late otherwise. It will last for the duration of an encounter (ie lost upon travel to a new location via the brougham carriage) Generally in my games and settings, every named spell is unique; it is cast once and lost. You have a feeling that this Hollow Tree spell may also have some other hidden effect...
otherwise, you may have to just leave the constables to the grim task of gathering the remains of the victim and following the Commissioner's orders, and leave this gruesome scene for
>Lady Temperance's Water Banquetor you can select some other location etc.

>>5693938 , or>write-in some other location of your own>can Thelemy Maskelyne accompany me?QM: I will let you do this if you surrender THREE items (as payment). Thelemy will shut his optical theatre stall for the time being and follow you around; Enoch Lusk will call him a ponce and endlessly grumble and complain, tee hee hee
