{{IL|Dramatic Tension}} is a quality used in several carousels in London, once you are {{IL|A Person of Some Importance}}

==The Carousels==
*[[Fighting a War of Assassins (Guide)|Fighting a War of Assassins]]
*[[Searching out a Missing Woman (Guide)|Searching out a Missing Woman]]
*[[Doing Business in Wilmot's End (Guide)|Doing Business in Wilmot's End]]

The carousels are further explained in their separate guides. As Dramatic Tension is transferable from one carousel to the other, you may usually choose whichever is more fun or uses your favoured stats. For the rewards from the Missing Woman and Wilmot's End, you have to do an extra cycle after having the required Dramatic Tension, and the War of Assassins require an additional action to set up.

1CP of Dramatic Tension can also be gained in {{IL|The Cave of the Nadir}} through an option on the card [[Woods in winter]]. This needs to be spent in one of the main carousels, as the Nadir has no option for cashing out. Reward options remove Dramatic Tension rather than reducing CP, so you can't store up large amounts for future use.

It should be noted that {{IL|Doing Business in Wilmot's End}} has [[Take a dip into that briefcase|an option]] that also provides {{IL|Compromising Document}}s roughly 10% the time. There are also some cards which give additional progress occasionally. This is NOT taken into account in the table below.
