| Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions. |
The building has been built since the Fall. […] The woodwork has been intentionally scuffed to make it look a few centuries older.
[…]
A Clay Man […] keeps the door. He admits Rubbery Men without question, but challenges the human visitors.Description summary:
The second paragraph varies depending on your railway's charter.
 Charter | Second Paragraph |
|---|---|
| 1 (Wealth) | There are a couple of well-dressed ladies ahead of you on the stairs, and you overhear a low-voiced disagreement about whether it is polite to wear gloves when shaking hands with a Rubbery person. |
| 2 (Charity) | Two or three urchins are sitting on the stairs, but they move aside when you approach. |
| 3 (Scientific Knowledge) | A couple of scholars from Benthic are ahead of you on the stairs – not wearing their academic robes at the moment, but the tweed and spectacles are hard to mistake. |
| 4 (Worker Ownership) | Ahead of you on the stairs are a couple of members of the Tracklayers' Union. Slightly surprising to see them here, perhaps, but they have a variety of interests, after all. |
| 5 (Expansion of the Church) | Two deacons are ahead of you on the stairs, one rather self-consciously holding a stack of pamphlets labelled Witnessing to the Rubbery Man. […] After a desperate and ineffectual glance round for a bin, he balls them up and crams them into his pocket […] |
| 10 (Infernal Alliance) | A couple of Devils are indolently ascending the stairs. You are offered a glimpse of leopard-spotted spats. |
