General[edit]

The War of Assassins is one of the many carousels available to Persons of Some Importance, which rewards the victor with various goods otherwise created in the Bazaar Side-Streets. It relies on , and requires 2 levels (3 CP) of it to make the reward available. With 100% success rates, it takes 11 actions to acquire 1 CP of Tension from the War, and so it takes 34 actions to unlock and then acquire the reward. The reward to be chosen takes 1 action to change, and resets Fighting a War of Assassins (henceforth abbreviated as FaWoA), but does not change Tension; it is therefore a small efficiency hit to change but can be done after the rest of the carousel is complete. This carousel can also be freely mixed with the two carousels in Wilmot's End which also use Tension to track number of rounds completed; consult Dramatic Tension (Guide) for details.

Choosing an Opponent and Reward[edit]

These are all options on the Choose an enemy! storylet at Your Lodgings. The rewards are options on The Treasures of War.
