| For Want of Coins | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 - 9 | The novelty of the magpies is wearing off. They leave the bats hungry and menace vendors of Surface fruits. |
| 10 - 19 | Teams of rats splash in the filthy gutters as they run to seek out the missing coins. Why they seek them, they will not say. |
| 20 - 29 | London's beggars are in a state of some confusion. Well-dressed ladies and gentlemen keep offering them stacks of Echoes in exchange for their coppers. They're not complaining, mind. |
| 30 - 39 | Moralists and the Constabulary denounce recent outbreaks of violence in the street, as supposedly respectable individuals come to blows over coins left on the cobbles. |
| 40 - 49 | The urchins are out in force, turning up the cobbles and digging through the refuse to find any lost coins. The Knotted Sock seems happy to sell; the Regiment, to hoard. |
| 50 - 59 | It is whispered that the Captivating Princess herself has developed an interest in collecting coins. As a result, fashionable salons throughout the city now gather to show off their own collections. |
| 60 - 69 | The Ministry of Public Decency has, with frightening swiftness, repressed a treatise entitled: 'The Coin and the Celestial: A History of Stories'. All copies have almost certainly been pulped; likewise the author. |
| 70 - 79 | An influential poet has published a song-cycle about the plague of avarice which has struck the city. The songs are so vicious you can only assume she's attempting to dissuade the competition. |
| 80 - 89 | You can tell who the players are. Listen carefully next time you're travelling across London: do you hear the ladies and gentlemen jingle? |
| 90 - 99 | Public notices around the city warn the citizenry to take extra care: instances of pick-pocketing and mugging have increased tenfold. |
| 100 | Scandal hits the Church! The coins from their donation boxes have not been going to the poor. The Church offers up a scape-deacon; the public is sated, and the hunt continues. |
