A Confrontation with a Rival
A player-created Guide is available for this content: Forgotten Quarter Expeditions (Guide) |
Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions. |
Game Instructions: Successfully confronting a Rival will usually remove them, and reduce Rivals' Progress enough to let you continue your Expedition. If you remove all your named Rivals, you'll only have to deal with the general rabble of second-raters, who are less of a threat.
