A Carriage, A Conversation, A Light Caper (Last Constable)
| Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions. |
Description summary:
The description varies based on 
and 
.
| Approaching | First Paragraph |
|---|---|
| 0 | You set off, the Last Constable providing the occasional direction. ("East of here, past Tyrant's Gardens and keep north"). London is swathed in fog today. The Last Constable huddles in the seat next to you, furiously smoking a cigar. |
| 1 | The streets are quieter here. The towering verdance of Tyrant's Gardens looms out of the fog. The Last Constable fusses with something under her seat. It appears to be a bouquet. |
| 2 - 3 | London rattles by. The Last Constable takes the reins, her jaw set. Her knuckles whiten as a gas lamp nearby suddenly gives out. "Nearly there," she says. |
| 4 | The wrought iron gate of Lowgate Cemetery emerges from the fog. Its sepulchral holdings are shrouded in overgrown greenery. These days, Lowgate doesn't see much use. It's as much a memento for death as it is a place of burial. |
| Safety | Second Paragraph |
|---|---|
| 0 | Gaslights flicker in the fog. London passes by, unseen. |
| 1 | The sound of wheels is unmistakable. Another carriage is following you through the fog, slowly and inexorably. You are being stalked. Perhaps hunted. |
| 2 | A rattle behind you. The cab is gaining. |
| 3 | A loud bang. A wheel thrown? Or a gunshot? |
