#sixth coil

[shazzbaa]

For the current Fallen London event, the tigers (theres a whole tiger country outside of london, don't worry about it) are running a GRAND COMPETITION WITH GLORY AND RICHES FOR THE VICTORS that some frenzied investigation has revealed may or may not aCTUALLY SECRETLY BE SOME SORT OF?? SACRIFICE???? UNCLEAR. Anyway there's an option to make a lil protest sign and futilely warn people that the games are not what they seem, which Samuel immediately (a) attempted and (b) failed, resulting in him getting hassled and beat up by tigers. I love this game.

Fallen London Travel Guide:

The Sixth Coil

It is, at its heart, both prison and labyrinth.

girl you better stay AWAY from twitch 🤺🤺

The kolomons, famous for their storied history of snipe hunting, and the famous invention of spark catching buckets, blinker fluid, and the breastplate stretcher

alright, possibly my second-to-last coilheart update, so strap in folks.

so! whats inside the sixth coil? a seventh coil!

hardy har har. but really, the sixth coil is a mirrored prison sustained by glasswork made to keep an extremely powerful entity at bay. said entity is a fusion of a fingerking (the coiler of hearts) and a tiger (the seventh banded prince), creating The Seventh Coil. such a fusion was so dangerous and forbidden that the tigers immediately sealed them within a prison of mirrors and glasswork, a place neither real nor unreal. the tiger keeper has apparently betrayed his kin, opening the coil early, perhaps to free the seventh coil within.

also, the tributes arent dead.

yeah, everyone who goes into the coil is still alive in some way (probably horrifying in a way we dont know about yet) and it's up to us to rescue them! after building up a machine to crack open the prison, we are now tasked with mapping the dang thing so we can actually do so. interestingly, you gain a bit of coilheart renown by donating material. i dont think theres a way to grind it tho, which leads me to believe it might just be there for people to get a last-ditch attempt at getting the distinction of waking fire.

[edit: i was immediately proven wrong. you get coilheart renown for completing a run of the sixth coil]

i, myself, have liquidated my 260,000 worth of renown in the form of 8 elemental secrets. 2,500 echoes earned indeed! we'll see if i regret it.

unique items! for those who poked their raked the mud on behalf of the gazette, we have mr huffam's personal blend, which i think was added because of how crazy the playerbase went over the last two clues of round five. also, those with 7 or more leads got to be in the good graces of mr huffam, our first insubstantial affiliation.

till the coil opens next, this has been your coil heart update.

Still stuck in that damned labyrinth.

Free of this knowledge by spending 20 actions failing 18% shadowy checks (but I refuse to drop my burdens they're mine)

having all 4 burdens in the sixth coil will have you realizing how many times in a row it's possible to fail an 80% check

[thedeafprophet]

a great summary of the event by huffman himself!

[the-clay-quarters]

adding to the "kolomans are spies" train: supporting them in the science tourney gives you a vital intelligence, given sneakily despite the other delegations being direct about it

She thinks I’m pretty?☺️👉👈
