When the cryptic note comes from Watchmaker's Hill, you are ready. Now is your chance...

Game Instructions: Attacking or changing your Form will always spend your Sense of Urgency, if you have one. You can also find your way to this storylet through some Opportunity Cards.

Unlocked with or a redirect from:

• Fourth-tier lodgings cards:
  • The Western Tower: An opening in the Game of Knife-and-Candle!
  • The Tower of Sun and Moon: An opening in the Game of Knife-and-Candle! 2
  • The Lofty Tower: An opening in the Game of Knife-and-Candle! 3
• Opportunity cards for Persons of Some Importance:
  • A Polite Invitation: What's that written on the back?
  • The Soft-Hearted Widow: Meet her eyes and make the Sign
• An opportunity card for those with Criminal Connections:
  • An implausible penance: A Knife-and-Candle Opening
• Rare opportunity cards:
  • A little omen: Choose the knife-card
  • A dusty bookshop: Select that slim grey whale-leather volume.

Wiki note: Note that if you have this visible in the list of storylets due to having A Sense of Urgency, and you also have one of the cards below that gives you an opening, use the visible storylet first - using an opening from a card will remove this from the list of storylets so you lose it.
