The Blue Carbuncle

Back to the first volume!

The London County Council population was indeed over four million at this point; the modern population in the old boundaries is a bit is around 3.6 million, due to people moving out to the suburbs, especially after the Second World War. There was around a million people in the surrounding area that is now Greater London.

Goose was the norm for working class people at Christmas, as turkey was more expensive. Scrooge buying a turkey for the Cratchits at the end of A Christmas Carol was a very generous move for the time.

B Division covered the Westminster area.

Assizes were periodic court sessions held for the trying of serious crimes, which were replaced by Crown Courts in 1972. Judges went to each of them on a circuit - the US practice is the origin of the Circuits in their court system.

The London assize sessions would have been at the Central Criminal Court, aka the Old Bailey, which also served by this point as a court for big crimes that could not tried locally. I believe these would have been in near-permanent session.

Goodge Street is now best known for its Tube station, opened in 1907, designed by Leslie Green and was home to a deep air-raid shelter in the war.

Amoy is now called Xiamen, but the river is fictitous.

A vitriol-throwing is what we now call an acid attack. Sadly, that sort of thing is not a new evil.

Of the evening papers mentioned, they eventually merged or shut down. Only the combined Standard and Evening News, now the Evening Standard survives as a now free paper.

A Scotch bonnet was another name for a tam o' shanter. The red-hot chili pepper is named after it.

Goose clubs were common at the time - a pub landlord would also profit as the depositees might buy a pint or two at the same time. Christmas savings clubs still exist today for buying hampers, although the most famous one, Farepark, collapsed in 2006.

This is basically a domesticated goose chase!

The Museum is probably the British Museum. Nice place to visit.

Covent Garden still has a market - it is a pedestrianised area also home to the London Transport Museum.

"The Pink 'Un" refers to The Sporting Times, a weekly newspaper that ran from 1865 to 1932 and was printed on salmon pink paper. Its biggest contribution to history was originating the concept of the Ashes via a mock obituary for English cricket in 1882 when the team lost to Australia for the first time.

The King of Prussia was also the Emperor of Germany, who may have been the potentate

Pentonville is a still-active Category B men's prison in Barnsbury. The "modern" 1842 design inspired many prisons like it - if you've seen a classic British prison, the style is instantly recognisable. It would later be used for executions, with 119 men still buried there in unmarked graves. Oscar Wilde would be jailed there for a time. The prison today considered run-down, overcrowded and has a vermin problem.

Kilburn is quite a way from Brixton Road. Did Ryder walk or get a bus?

The Witches of Pendle Forest

The substance of the examinations of the so called witches and others, may be given as follows: Old Demdike persuaded her daughter, Elizabeth Device, to sell herself to the devil, which she did, and in turn initiated her daughter, Alison Device, in these infernal arts.

Amongst the rest of the voluntary confessions made by the witches, that of Dame Demdike is preserved.

She confessed that, about twenty years ago, as she was coming home from begging, she was met near Gouldshey, in the Forest of Pendle, by a spirit of devil in the shape of a boy, the one half of his coat black and the other brown, who told her to stop and said that if she would give him her soul, she would have anything she wished for.

She asked his name, and was told 'Tib'. She consented, from the hope of gain, to give him her soul.

For several years she had no occasion to make any application to her evil spirit; but one Sunday morning, having a little child upon her knee, and she being in a slumber, the spirit appeared to he in the likeness of a brown dog., and forced himself upon her knee, and begun to suck blood under her left arm, on which she exclaimed, 'Jesus! Save me!' and the brown dog vanished, leaving her almost stark mad for eight weeks.

On another occasion she was led, being blind, to the house of Richard Baldwin, to obtain payment for the services her daughter had performed at his mill, when Baldwin fell into a passion, and bid them to get off his ground, calling them 'whores and witches' and saying he would burn the one and hang the other.

On this, Tib appeared, and they concerted matters to revenge themselves on Baldwin; how, is not stated.

From Lancashire Folklore, 1882 John Harland and T.T. Wilkinson.

The Witches of Pendle Forest

The wild and desolate parts of the parish of Whalley furnished a fitting scene for witch assemblies, and it was alleged that such meetings were held at Malkin Tower, in Pendle Forest, within that parish.

The Justices of the peace in this part of the country, Roger Nowell and Nicholas Bannister, having learned that Malkin Tower, the residence of Old Demdike and her daughter, was the resort of the witches, ventured to arrest their head and another of her followers, and to commit them to Lancaster Castle.

When the old witch had been sent to Lancaster, a grand convocation of seventeen witches and three wizards was held at Malkin Tower on Good Friday, at which it was determined to kill Mr. M'Covell, the governor of the castle, and blow up the building, to enable the witches to make their escape.

The other two objects of this convocation were to christen the familiar of Alison Device, one of the witches in the castle, and also to bewitch and murder Mr. Lister, a gentleman of Westby-in-Craven, Yorkshire.

The business being ended, the witches, in quitting the meeting, walked out of the barn, named Malkin Tower, in their proper shapes, but on reaching the door, each mounted his or her spirit, which was in the form of a young horse, and quickly vanished.

Before the assizes, Old Demdike, worn out by age and trouble, died in prison. The others were brought to trial.

From Lancashire Folklore, 1882 John Harland and T.T. Wilkinson.

The Witchcraft of Chattox

The first person arraigned before Sir Edward Bromley, who presided in the criminal court, was Ann Whittle, alias 'Chattox'.

Her abode was in the Forest of Pendle, amongst the company of other witches, where the woollen trade was carried on, she having been in her younger days a wool-carder.

She was indicted for having exercised various wicked and devilish arts called witchcrafts, enchantments, charms and sorceries, upon one Robert Nutter, of Greenhead, in the Forest of Pendle, and with having, by force thereof, feloniously killed him.

To establish this charge her own examination was read, from which it appeared that fourteen or fifteen years ago, a thing like 'a Christian man' had importuned her to sell her soul to the devil, and that she had done so, giving to her Familiar the name of 'Fancy'.

On account of an insult offered to her daughter, Anne Redferne, by Robert Nutter, they two conspired to place a bad wish upon Nutter, of which he died.

It was further deposed against her that John Device had agreed to give Old Chattox a dole of meal yearly if she would not hurt him, and that when he ceased to make this annual tribute, he took to his bed and died.

She was further charged with having bewitched the drink of John Moore, and also with having, without using the churn, produced a quantity of butter from a dish of skimmed milk!

In the face of this evidence, and no longer anxious about her own life, she acknowledged her guilt, but humbly prayed the judges to be merciful to her daughter, Anne Redferne; but her prayer was in vain.

Trust Meme

I missed out on this when it was going around so, old meme here we go

Selection: “As you wish!”

Description: Renowned warrior in two realms, Elletha brings a unique set of skills to the party. Boasting in high healing skills and unusual amounts of damage, she’ll keep you alive while also taking down tough bosses with ease.

Weapons: Antiquated Aymur and The King’s Cane

AI Behaviour: She focuses mainly on healing and playing her favourite game of “how low can you go”. Will prioritise spamming holy and glare on packs of mobs over paying attention to the tank’s health until she is forced to use benediction or has generated a lily. In the case of boss encounters, she will start her rotation and focus mainly on dps until either the tank or party need healing. 

While using “Presence of Mind” she will refuse to heal anyone regardless of how much damage they have taken until the buff expires, then she will deal with the aftermath. Only ever uses “Assize” for damage and mainly uses her lilies to heal. If party members are consistently low, she will enter “Panic Mode”, where she’ll focus on healing AoEs and applying all her buffs such as “Plenary Indulgence” and “Temperance” until the party is back at an acceptable level of health.

While keeping party members alive is her priority, if the Limit Break is at 3 bars she will attempt to save herself to get in a good position to cast “Pulse of Life”. Will use her own personal Limit Break if the boss is low enough and no dps role has attempted to use it.  Her personal LB looks similar to “Afflatus Misery”, the target explodes into red lilies that whither and fall off once the damage has been done. Appears as if the flowers grew from inside the target.

Combat Lines:  “I’ve got your back.” - Start of a fight “Are you alright?” - Healing Variation “Don’t worry!” - Healing Variation “Be more careful!” - Healing a DPS “That looked like it hurt...” - Healing after a tankbuster “You’re not done yet!” - Revive Variation “We still need you!” - Revive Variation “Come on!” - Reviving the same ally twice “Next time I’ll leave you there!” - Reviving the same ally thrice “I’ll get to you soon!” - Ally takes damage while PoM is active “Oh... merde.” - Ally dies while PoM is active

Limit Break: “I can’t do this alone!” - Pulse of Life “I’ve been holding onto this one for a while!” - Special LB

KO’d: “Oops...” “I need... to protect...” “I’m sorry I failed....” “My... dps....” - Killed in PoM (rare line)

Revived: “Apologies about that one...” “I should be the one looking after you, not the other way around...” “Oh that thing’s gonna get it now!” - Revived 3+ times in one fight

Victory: “Everyone alright?” “C’est un jeu d’enfant!” - (equivalent to “child’s play” or “piece of cake”) “I need a drink after that...” - If she died 3+ times during duty

Bonus: Elletha will have banter mostly with Alphinaud, Alisaie, Thancred or the Crystal Exarch. Banter is mostly friendly with some teasing in there, as opposed to her banter with Thancred, which is more full of insults and poking fun at each other.

Follows the tank around and refuses to go in front of them, will rescue other party members back if they attempt to pull before the tank does.

Tagging anyone who wants to, tag me so I can see!

Selection: “The forest answers.”

Weapons: Cane, alchemy

AI Behavior: Norhi stands back a bit and aoe heals frequently. She gets turned around super easily and accidentally runs into bad aoes, while trying to run from other bad aoes. She��ll also pop medica 2, prior to big damages, to have a second regen running on the tank. She’s pretty quick on the Esuna, often popping that before healing. She also likes to save assize for add phases. But she’ll get too excited to use Afflatus Misery on the boss, that she’ll do that before healing sometimes. And she forgets that Holy is a thing.

Battle Lines:

“Here’s a thorn for your trouble!” - Starting Attack Line “Is this sparkly enough for you?” - Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 “And a big red flower for you!” - Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 “Oh that looks infected. Hold still.” - Assisting an ally

Limit Break:

• “Stay close!.” - Using Limit Break 1 • “We might need a bit of help!” - Using Limit Break 2 • “Elementals hear me and breathe wind into our lungs once again!” - Using Limit Break 3

KO’d:

• “Oh.... ow....” - Variation 1 • “Papa, is that you?” - Variation 2

Revived:

• “Ooooh ow. Thank you.” - Variation 1 • “You are a literal life saver.” - Variation 2

Alright, now that the spoiler embargo has been lifted, time to post some of my thoughts. Cut for length and spoilers!

It’s been an emotional rollercoaster. There’s been a lot of punches to my feels, with Kasumi becoming a Sin Eater at level 79 absolutely breaking her as well, but there’s also been a lot of sweet, wholesome, and even funny content.

I absolutely love the writing and usage of NPCs in Shadowbringers. In past installments they felt more like questgivers because their activity was in the background, but in this one I don’t think Kasumi has ever acted alone after picking up the twins at level 70. It’s been great, really made the Scions feel like a team- and it peaked in the resolution of the final battle, from which I’m STILL reeling.

The Scions going right back to Chaotic Stupid as soon as the credits start rolling, tho. Please never change, everyone.

I was fully prepared to hate Ryne, but she’s actually one of my favourites in this. I expected to have to bail her out every time we split up when it was just the two of us, but she handled herself every time. The only thing I’ve had to save her from was Thancred’s scorn! Definitely an improvement over the old Minfilia; Kasumi now has a little sister, I do not make the rules.

Speaking of Thancred, HE SCARED THE BEJESUS OUT OF ME. I know some people are gonna be angry that his death scene was a fakeout, but I for one can only attest to the relief that followed the double-take at seeing him sitting up at the quest marker. It would have been a phenomenal death, but I’m glad they kept him around for a while longer. He was great in general- seeing him open up about and process some of the things that have been going on since ARR -hell, since well before ARR- has been wonderful.

Emet-Selch was an amazing villain. He had a point. I could see where he was coming from. He and his are literally trying to do the same thing we are- except that in order for one group to succeed, the other has to die. Personally, I feel that the Ascians have had their time, and now it is ours. But I understand him wanting to bring back everything he once had.

This makes going back to Zenos Yae Blandface and his creepy obsession with Baby Girl even more of a slap in the face, though.

Trusts were surprisingly fun! In the light of the Scions constantly being with you, it felt wrong to me to queue normally for my first run of every MSQ dungeon, and thus I did them all with Trusts. Thancred, Alisaie, and Ryne quickly became my go-to team, and they taught me basically all mechanics in the MSQ dungeons. The AI is impressively competent, if not the most effective because Thancred only pulls one group and the DPS isn’t optimised, and just being able to do these dungeons with my Scion colleagues has been great.

LILIES. OH MY GOD. LILIES. Instant-cast, high-potency, no MP, GCD heals that get replenished every 30 seconds and can be stockpiled up to three uses. And then Afflatus Misery. It is SO satisfying to cast that on a group of mobs and see a good chunk of HP disappear.

Temperance on cooldown. I have no idea if it’s as much of a lifesaver as I think it is, but the wings sprouting from Baby Girl’s back alone make me want to use it as often as possible.

10k MP is not as bad as I thought it would be. Throughout the game I’ve been forced to use my entire kit consistently -apart from Fluid Aura and Surecast- and with copious use of Assize, Lucid Dreaming, and Thin Air, it’s actually manageable. The only problem is that it’s nowhere NEAR enough to save a run that’s gone entirely to shit, which is a little painful because it always felt good to do that.

I have hit every single freaking levelwall in this expac. Damn you, writers, for keeping me so at the edge of my seat I didn’t even think to do my roulettes for EXP.

Dancer is super fun and might become my main DPS class on Kasumi.

Music’s been hit or miss. There’s definitely tracks I don’t care for, like Titania’s theme, but the tracks that were good were very good. If anyone has the vocal version of the Shadowbringers main theme, please link it to me.

Who would have thought that not just Aqua’s, but canon Thancred of all people would embrace the life of a single dad?

I’ve forgotten a LOT of things here, but the takeaway is: SHB is my favourite expansion so far. It’s been a trip, and while difficult to reconcile with my multiWoL headcanon, I look forward to writing in the timeframe with the things the story has prompted.
