{{Audience|EarlyMYN|Evergreen=yes}}
This is a guide to the menace locations where you end up when either of the main menaces ({{IL|Wounds}}, {{IL|Nightmares}}, {{IL|Scandal}} or {{IL|Suspicion}}) reaches 8. Upon reaching that, you will be transported to one of the following locations, once you're out of any current storylet you're doing.

Note that this guide is meant as a guide for navigating the locations and will not contain a comprehensive list of storylets unlocked through ambitions.
==a slow boat passing a dark beach on a silent river (Wounds)==
When you reach {{IL|Wounds|8}} you'll end up on {{IL|a slow boat passing a dark beach on a silent river}}. You will have several storylets available, and a special deck of cards.
There are three ways to leave the location:
*Once you reach {{IL|Wounds}} 0, you will be instantly ejected.
*Additionally, owners of {{IL|Firkin of Hesperidean Cider}} may [[SO SHALL HE NEVER DIE|drink it]] in order to leave the location.
*During {{FontHallowmas}} there is [[Remember a ruddy set of armour|a special card]] that allows you to escape with {{IL|Wounds}} 5. 
===Storylets for reducing {{IL|Wounds}}===
There are several storylets to play while on the river.
*{{IL|Offer the Boatman a sacrifice}} allows you to give up all of your {{IL|Lucky Weasel}}s or {{IL|Sulky Bat}}s for {{IL|Wounds|-2 CP}}. Unless you only have a single one of either, this option is bad.
*{{IL|Play chess with the Boatman}} allows you to take an increasingly difficult {{IL|Watchful}} challenge in order to lose wounds, as long as you have less than {{IL|Wounds}} 15. A success will lose you {{IL|Wounds|-2 or -3 CP}} and up until the final level a failure will gain you {{IL|Wounds|+2 CP}}. ''Wear [[Menace-affecting items#Wounds|wounds decreasing items]] to reduce the penalty of failure.'' Playing chess with the boatman will also improve your {{IL|The Boatman's Opponent}}, which has some use on the [[Chess (Guide)|Chessboard]]. This action is better than playing dice if your chance of success is >63%. Additionally successes will gain you {{IL|Approaching the Gates of the Garden}} up to 16.
**With {{IL|The Boatman's Opponent}} 40 this action changes and in addition to being a very tough check ({{IL|Watchful|300}}) you will gain {{IL|Appalling Secret}} on successes, but you will also gain {{IL|Nightmares}} on both successes and failures, meaning this will never be menace negative. With a success rate of 70% or higher, you will still lose wounds faster than if you are playing dice.
*With {{IL|The Boatman's Opponent}} 5, the option to play {{IL|Dice with the Boatman}} opens up. This is a 50% {{IL|Luck}} challenge, where successes will reduce {{IL|Wounds}} by -3 CP and failures you gain {{IL|Wounds|+2 CP}}. This yields on average -0.5CP {{IL|Wounds|Appearance=}} on average per action. ''Wear [[Menace-affecting items#Wounds|wounds decreasing items]] to reduce the penalty of failure.''
===Cards===
*[[:Category:Cards - a slow boat passing a dark beach on a silent river|The Listing of all cards.]]
Your opportunity deck while in this location will be filled with a wide swathe of red bordered cards that will reduce your {{IL|Wounds}} by 1-2 CP for no action cost, assuming you have already used all your actions playing dice or chess. If you are close to getting out, it may be worth spending actions on red bordered cards rather than gambling. Having a {{IL|Running Battle...}} or {{IL|Fascinating...}} will each add a beneficial -2 CP Red Card to the deck.

'''Notable Red Cards'''
*[[Remember the Regretful Soldier]] - Also gains +1 CP {{IL|Dangerous}}
*[[Remember the Repentant Forger]] - Also gains +1 CP {{IL|Persuasive}}
*[[Stare at the shore of the living world]], [[Trail your fingers in the water]], and [[You remember the tomb-colonists, and shudder]] - Also gain +5 CP {{IL|Approaching the Gates of the Garden}} up to level 16.
*[[Remember a certain hunger...]] - Beware this card, it gains you +3 CP {{IL|Wounds}}

===Other Points of interest===
*The {{IL|Renown: Constables}} 40 item is found on the boat: {{IL|The Place Where they Bury the Bodies}}. For more information on this, see [[Renown Items (Guide)]].
==Disgraced exile in the Tomb-Colonies (Scandal)==
When you reach {{IL|Scandal|8}} you'll end up a {{IL|Disgraced exile in the Tomb-Colonies}} and gain {{IL|Favours: Tomb-Colonies}} in the process. You will have several storylets available, and a special deck of cards. Once you reach {{IL|Scandal}} 0, you can choose to leave.

As a special note, the Tomb-Colonies are an excellent place to gain {{IL|Favours: Tomb-Colonies}}, though at the cost of having to spend many actions here to escape.

Many choices will be either {{IL|Austere}} or {{IL|Hedonist}}. Picking one will result in +3 CP (Up to Level 10) in that quality and unless noted, -3 CP in the other quality.

When you reach {{IL|Scandal}} 0, you can choose to leave via [[Home: at last]], transporting you back to your lodgings.

Leaving will cost 5 actions and you will gain {{IL|Zee-Ztory|1 x}} and {{IL|Memory of Distant Shores|1 x}}. Additionally if you have {{IL|Austere}} or {{IL|Hedonist}} above 10, you will have to halve the other quality. This option will affect the amount of {{IL|Making Waves}} you receive upon leaving.
* {{IL|Austere}} and {{IL|Hedonist}} < 10: {{IL|Making Waves|+5 CP}}
* {{IL|Austere}} ≥ 10: {{IL|Making Waves|+2 CP}}
* {{IL|Hedonist}} ≥ 10: {{IL|Making Waves|+10 CP}}, {{IL|Scrap of Incendiary Gossip|1 x}}, and {{IL|Scandal}} set to level 2.
During {{FontHallowmas}}, [[A repairer of reputations (Hallowmas)]] is available, allowing you to leave at {{IL|Scandal}} 5.
===Storylets for reducing {{IL|Scandal}}===
*{{IL|A letter to an old flame}} - allows you to trade favours and connections for a quick scandal reduction.
**{{IL|Favours: The Church|1 x}} for {{IL|Scandal|-6 CP}}
**{{IL|Favours: Society}} for 90% chance of {{IL|Scandal|-6 CP}}, otherwise gain {{IL|Scandal|+5 CP}} (Expected:  {{IL|Scandal|-4.9 CP}}) ''Wear [[Menace-affecting items#Scandal|scandal decreasing items]] to reduce the penalty of failure.''
**{{IL|Connected: The Duchess|-10 CP}} for {{IL|Scandal|-3 CP}}
**{{IL|Connected: The Masters of the Bazaar}} for {{IL|Scandal|-10 CP}}
**Tip: Prior to being exiled, in order to save connections you may [[Curry favour with the Duchess]] in {{IL|The Shuttered Palace}} in order to have {{IL|Connected: The Duchess}} for quick scandal reductions.
*{{IL|The price of forgiveness}} - trade resources for scandal reduction. Each of these options reduce {{IL|Scandal|-3 CP}}
**{{IL|Foxfire Candle Stub|200 x}} = 4.00 {{e}}
**{{IL|Proscribed Material|50 x}} = 4.00 {{e}}
**{{IL|Primordial Shriek|50 x}} = 2.00 {{e}} and also {{IL|Suspicion|+1 CP}}
**Spend {{FontFate}} to instantly clear your {{IL|Scandal}}
*{{IL|A letter to a trusted friend}}
**By failing a {{IL|Persuasive}} 50 you can lose 1 CP {{IL|Scandal}}. Unfortunately, successes increase your scandal, making this a bad choice for most characters.

===Stories of note===
*Gaining a {{IL|Tomb-Lion}}
**If you have {{IL|Making Progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers}} 16 and presently do not have a {{IL|Tomb-Lion}}, you can get one on the card [['I Met a Curious Creature.']] with [['...I made overtures...']] for {{IL|F.F. Gebrandt's Tincture of Vigour|1 x}}
*{{IL|Flowers for Peter}}
**If you are on a mission from Dapper Underworld Boss, which you receive in [[#A Favour for an Old Friend|Newgate Prison]], you can spend {{IL|Favours: Tomb-Colonies|1 x}} with [[Flowers for Peter (Card)]] to progress it.
*{{IL|Renown: Tomb-Colonies}} 40 item - See [[Renown Items (Guide)]]
*{{IL|Haunted by Stairs}}
**When you become {{IL|Haunted by Stairs}}, you will need to visit the Tomb-Colonies to clear this quality. Initially, you will need to play the card [[Burial of the Dead: Still Haunted by Stairs]] and then you will find new options on [[A letter to an old flame]], and [[A letter to a trusted friend]] and several opportunity cards for this. All of them decrease {{IL|Haunted by Stairs|-18 CP}}. The only notable one is [[An Unusual Remedy]], which also removes {{IL|Nightmares|-1 CP}}
**Once your {{IL|Haunted by Stairs}} is < 15, the storylet [[Burial of the Dead: the Choice of Kings]] will become available, where you can take the path of ice with the moths, gaining {{IL|Night-Whisper|1 x}}, or the path of fire, with the candles, gaining {{IL|Diary of the Dead|1 x}}. Both of these conclusions will clear your {{IL|Haunted by Stairs}}, gain you {{IL|Relic of the Third City|10 x}} and {{IL|Appalling Secret|1 x}}, while lowering your {{IL|Nightmares|-5 CP}} and clearing your {{IL|Scandal}}, ejecting you from the Tomb Colonies.
*Evolution
**Several storylets related to the [[Evolution (Guide)#Part 2 - The Mentor|Evolution Storyline]] take place in the tomb colonies.
==New Newgate Prison - again (Suspicion)==
When you reach {{IL|Suspicion|8}} you'll end up in {{IL|New Newgate Prison - again!}}. Reaching it in this way will raise {{IL|A Criminal Record:}}. You will have several storylets available, and a special deck of cards. Once you reach {{IL|Suspicion}} 0, you will be instantly ejected. Additionally there are other ways to escape prison, including a prison break.
===Storylets for reducing {{IL|Suspicion}}===
*{{IL|Bribery}} allows you to spend resources in order to reduce your suspicion. The fate option allows you to escape immediately. 
** {{IL|Bottle of Greyfields 1879|50 x}} for {{IL|Suspicion|-3 CP}} 0.50 {{E}}
** {{IL|Foxfire Candle Stub|50 x}} for {{IL|Suspicion|-3 CP}} 0.50 {{E}}
** {{IL|Skyglass Knife|1 x}} for {{IL|Suspicion|-7 CP}} and {{IL|Favours: Criminals|1 x}} 6.40{{E}}
*{{IL|Contact your lawyer}} allows you to spend actions to reduce {{IL|Suspicion}}, and at an even greater rate once you're {{IL|A Person of Some Importance -}} ''Wear [[Menace-affecting items#Suspicion|suspicion decreasing items]] to reduce the penalty of failure.''
**Non PoSI - [[Pen a letter]] - 50% chance of either: {{IL|Suspicion|-2 CP}} or {{IL|Suspicion|+1 CP}} (averages -0.5 {{IL|Suspicion|Appearance=}}/action).
**PoSI - [[Write instead to the Ambitious Barrister]] - 50% chance of either: {{IL|Suspicion|-4 CP}} or {{IL|Suspicion|+2 CP}} (averages -1{{IL|Suspicion|Appearance=}}/action).
*{{IL|Prison life}} allows you to spend actions to decrease suspicion.
**[[Observing New Newgate]] decrease {{IL|Suspicion|-1 CP}} and on a {{IL|Watchful}} 40 challenge, either gain {{IL|Cryptic Clue|20 x}}s or lose {{IL|Persuasive|-1 CP}}
**[[Keep your nose clean]] trades {{IL|Persuasive|-1 CP}} for {{IL|Suspicion|-2 CP}}
***If you can't reliably pass the watchful check, you're better off doing the second option for more suspicion reduction at the same cost. Bringing suspicion from 8 to 0 this way would cost 36 CP {{IL|Persuasive}}.

[[:Category:Cards - New Newgate Prison - again!|The Listing of all cards]]

'''Red Cards'''<BR />
Here there is only 1 red card to lower your menace. [[Voice from the oubliette]] will decrease {{IL|Suspicion|-1 CP}} and gain you {{IL|Appalling Secret|2 x}}

'''White Cards'''
[[The talkative gaoler]]'s nonfavor option and [[Starvation day]] are particularly bad cards, costing you stats with very little gain or suspicion loss. [[Avoid bad company]] on [[University of Crime]] also will lose you less suspicion than you would with any other choice.

Any cards not mentioned here will not decrease suspicion, and may in fact increase it.
====A Turncoat====
If you are willing to burn criminal favours and gain {{IL|A Turncoat}}, [[The talkative gaoler]] can get you out with [[A grass]], as long as you have at least as many favours as you have remaining suspicion. This will consume all your favours, regardless of how much suspicion remains.

===Leaving===
When you reach {{IL|Suspicion}} 0, [[The misty air of freedom!]] will autofire, transporting you back to your lodgings.

Alternatively:
*During {{FontHallowmas}}, [[A Pile of Stinking Rags]] is available, allowing you to leave at {{IL|Suspicion}} 5, if you can draw the card.
*You can plan [[The even more daring escape!]] to break free before that point.
====The even more daring escape!====
You need to obtain 3 items, and upon doing so you will have an autofire event to escape. Once the {{IL|Prison Shiv}} is acquired, it will not be consumed, though the other 2 items will be. Escaping this way even grants you {{IL|Shadowy|+5 CP}} and clears your {{IL|Suspicion}}.
* {{IL|Prison Shiv}} - can be obtained on [[The Troubled Undertaker]]
* {{IL|Rope of Knotted Rags}} - The red card [[The passing dirigible]] will provide you one, provided you already have a {{IL|Prison Shiv}}
* {{IL|Notes on the Dirigible Schedule}} can be obtained on the unusual (20% frequency) card [[The new cell]] with the option [[Decipher the graffiti]], costing 4 actions.
Generally, this is a good strategy if you have high suspicion (5/6+) and you manage to draw [[The new cell]]. Gambling that you will draw this card is probably not going to be fruitful in most cases, however.
===Other Actions of Note===
{{IL|Favours: Criminals}} can be gained through two ways. 
*[[Bribery]] for {{IL|Skyglass Knife|1 x}} each, and some suspicion loss
* You can [[Volunteer]] on the card [[Bilge duty]]. This make you lose {{IL|Suspicion|-2 CP}} as well, at the cost of {{IL|Dangerous|-10 CP}}, {{IL|Persuasive|-10 CP}}, {{IL|Shadowy|-10 CP}} and {{IL|Wounds|+2}} or half the stat loss and get a {{IL|Magnificent Diamond|1 x}} on a rare success.
{{IL|Acquaintance: the Repentant Forger}}
*If you have not already done so, you can gain an {{IL|Acquaintance: the Repentant Forger}} on [[The Repentant Forger 2]]. If you have played through {{IL|Uncovering Secrets Framed in Gold}}, you may pay fate to befriend him once more.
{{IL|Bat with Attitude}}/{{IL|Flowers for Peter}}
*[[A Favour for an Old Friend]] is the most reliable way to gain {{IL|Bat with Attitude}}. You begin this quest with {{IL|Favours: Criminals|1 x}} and then must travel to the exile in the Tomb Colonies, before finally returning here to turn it in on this card.
{{IL|Commissioned to Enact Love's Revenge}}
*You can help a Betrayed Lover with [[Promises of revenge]]. This will begin a storyline that you can finish in {{IL|The Flit}}.
* [[Tracking down the Faithless Rake]] has no reward, but giving up here will cost {{IL|Favours: Criminals|1 x}}
* [[Dealing with the Faithless Rake]]
** Murdering him gains {{IL|Stolen Correspondence|10 x}}
** Extorting him for money gains {{IL|Shard of Glim|80 x}}
** Leaving him alone gains {{IL|Favours: Constables|1 x}} and {{IL|Whispered Hint|25 x}}
*All in all, this storyline is a pretty bad deal mechanically, as even the best option is 3 actions for one favour.
Increasing {{IL|Shadowy}}
*[[University of Crime]] allows you to trade {{IL|Favours: Criminals|1 x}} for {{IL|Shadowy|+15 CP}}. This is slightly less than on the Criminals faction card.
{{IL|Renown: Criminals}} 40 item: 
*The renown item from the crimnals can be found in prison. See [[Renown Items (Guide)]] for more info on this.

==A state of some confusion (Nightmares)==
When you reach {{IL|Nightmares|8}} you'll end up on {{IL|A state of some confusion}}. You will have several storylets available, and a special deck of cards. Once you reach {{IL|Nightmares}} 0, you will be instantly ejected.
===Storylets for reducing {{IL|Nightmares}}===
*{{IL|Chat to the guests}} allows you to reduce your nightmares with a nightmares challenge. This is a challenge you want to fail, and should do so regularly. Even at a high nightmares, its around a 10% chance of success. This provides {{IL|Nightmares|-3 CP}}, with a small chance of 'success' losing you {{IL|Nightmares|-1 CP}} and {{IL|Watchful|-4 CP}}.
*{{IL|Drink from the fountain in the lobby}} has two options:
*[[Take a deep gulp]] is nearly the same as chat with guests is, though it risks {{IL|Persuasive}} instead.
*[[Immerse yourself in the fountain]] trades {{IL|Stormy-Eyed|-1 CP}} for {{IL|Nightmares|-3 CP}}. This is only marginally better at reducing nightmares than risking your stats and is much harder to get back, making this option generally inadvisable.
====A word with the manager====
By reaching {{IL|Tracking down the Manager}} 5, you can have [[A word with the manager]]. Each option will reduce this quality by 15 CP, likely clearing it.
*[[Complain to the manager]] - Reduces your {{IL|Nightmares|-10 CP}}
*[[Ask the manager to make it rain]] - costs {{IL|Stormy-Eyed|-1 CP}} and will either reduce your {{IL|Nightmares|-10 CP}} or {{IL|Nightmares|-5 CP}} on a 50% chance.
*[[Thank the manager]] - Increases {{IL|Nightmares|+3 CP}}
===Cards===
[[:Category:Cards - A state of some confusion|The Listing of all cards.]]

Your opportunity deck while in this location will be filled with a wide swathe of red bordered cards that will reduce your {{IL|Nightmares}} by 1-3 CP for no action cost, assuming you have already used all your actions drinking or chatting. Many of the white bordered cards are useful as well.

'''Red Cards'''<br />
All red cards are useful in the deck.

'''White Cards'''
*Fail on [[Search for your missing secret|searching for your missing secret]] on [[A lost secret]] provides for {{IL|Nightmares|-4 CP}}. With {{IL|Weasel of Woe}} equipped, this is the most efficient local card.
*[[Think on the city]] on [[The view from your room 1]], or [[Watch]] on [[The view from your room 3]] provide for {{IL|Nightmares|-3 CP}} and bonus as well. 
*[[Spurn her advances]] on [[A lamentable affair]] increases {{IL|Tracking down the Manager|+2 CP}}. That said, this is less efficient than just spending the actions on reducing nightmares unless you either need to see the manager for some reason, or You're just 2 CP away from reaching level 5.
*A certain choice in an ambition can grant you access to [[An Abrupt Door]] which will allow you to leave with {{IL|Nightmares}} 6.
All other white cards either increase nightmares, or trade dream qualities for a decrease in nightmares and are not worth taking.

During Hallowmas, [[A friendly visage]] is available, allowing you to leave at {{IL|Nightmares}} 5.

===Leaving===
When you reach {{IL|Nightmares}} 0, [[You are yourself again]] will autofire, transporting you back to your lodgings, losing you -5CP in all dreams, {{IL|Memory of Light|-4 x}} and gaining you {{IL|Watchful|+1-20 CP}}.

You can also [[Set fire to your mirror (11 FATE)]] on the card [[A plan occurs]] to go to the [[#The Mirror-Marches (Nightmares)|The Mirror-Marches.]]
===Other Noteworthy Actions===
*The {{IL|Renown: Revolutionaries}} 40 renown item can be found here. See [[Renown Items (Guide)]] for more information.
==The Mirror-Marches (Nightmares)==
When you reach {{IL|Nightmares|8}}, and you have either at least {{IL|Memory of Light|1 x}} or {{IL|Having Recurring Dreams: Is Someone There?}} 10 you'll end up in {{IL|The Mirror-Marches}}. You will have several storylets available, and a special deck of cards. Once you reach {{IL|Nightmares}} 0, you will be instantly ejected.
===Storylets for reducing {{IL|Nightmares}}===
The storylets and cards within the Mirror Marches are gated based on your current level of {{IL|Nightmares}} unlike in other menace locations.

{{IL|The mirror-frames}}: These various [[The mirror-frames|mirrors]] provide {{IL|Nightmares|-2 CP}} reduction at the cost of increasing some other menace. ''Wear [[Menace-affecting items|menace decreasing items]] in order to reduce the menace gain.''
*Wooden frame - {{IL|Nightmares}} < 3, No cost.
*Brass Frame - {{IL|Nightmares}} 3-5, {{IL|Scandal|+1 CP}}
*Silver Frame - {{IL|Nightmares}} 4-5, {{IL|Wounds|+1 CP}}
*Iron Frame - {{IL|Nightmares}} > 5, {{IL|Wounds|+2 CP}}
*Ivory Frame - When you are {{IL|Playing Cat and Mouse with an Evasive Target}} against [[A Deranged Medium]], you can increase {{IL|Cat: Getting Warmer|9 x}} and reduce your nightmares at the same time.
{{IL|The seductive forest}} is available as long as you have {{IL|Nightmares}} 5 and is a great way to reduce your {{IL|Nightmares}}.
*[[Follow the sound of water]] gives a 50% Chance of either {{IL|Nightmares|-5 CP}} or {{IL|Nightmares|+2 CP}} for an average of -1.5CP{{IL|Nightmares|Appearance=}}/Action. ''Wear [[Menace-affecting items#Nightmares|nightmares decreasing items]] to reduce the penalty of failure.''
*[[Follow the scent of roses]] decreases {{IL|Nightmares|-1 CP}}
As long as you have at least {{IL|Nightmares}} 3 you can explore [[The temple complex]]. This is not a great way of reducing nightmares, but it does allow you to easily increase your {{IL|Walking the Falling Cities}}, {{IL|Seeing through the Eyes of Icarus}} and {{IL|Touched by Fingerwork}}.
*[[Be enticed by the temples]] grants {{IL|Nightmares|-1 CP}}, {{IL|Walking the Falling Cities|+5 CP}} and {{IL|Seeing through the Eyes of Icarus|+5 CP}}
*[[Stay away from the ruins]] increases {{IL|Nightmares|+1 CP}} and {{IL|Touched by Fingerwork|+5 CP}}

'''Red Cards'''<br />
Notable Red Cards:
*[[A striped cat]], [[A spotted cat]], and [[A black cat]] all go away below {{IL|Nightmares|4}}, so make sure to use them before then.
*[[A forest fire]] trades {{IL|Wounds|-1 CP}} for {{IL|Nightmares|+1 CP}}

'''White Cards'''<br />
The following cards are better your standard storylet options for reducing Nightmares
*[[Read the markings, if you know how]] on [[A tree of scars]] requires {{IL|A Scholar of the Correspondence}} and provides for {{IL|Nightmares|-5 CP}}. 
*[[Listen to the thunder]] on [[A thunderstorm]] requires {{IL|Having Recurring Dreams: What the Thunder Said}} 10 and provides for {{IL|Nightmares|-4 CP}} and {{IL|Touched by Fingerwork|+5 CP}}. 
*Reducing {{IL|Nightmares|-2 CP}}
**[[Follow it]] on [[A bird-of-paradise]] also provides {{IL|Touched by Fingerwork|+5 CP}}
**[[Eat some cherries]] on [[Heavenly fruits]], also reduces {{IL|Unaccountably Peckish|-1 x}}
**[[Purple orchids]]
*[[A green vine]] has a 50% chance to give {{IL|Nightmares|-3 CP}}, {{IL|Cryptic Clue|10 x}} and {{IL|Touched by Fingerwork|+5 CP}}. Only worth it if you have {{IL|Nightmares}} 3
*[[I will sing with the forest!]] on [[A snatch of music]] only provides {{IL|Nightmares|-1 CP}}, but it also increases {{IL|Stormy-Eyed|+1 CP}}
All other white cards either increase nightmares, or are worse than your storylet actions and are not worth taking for nightmare reductions.

During Hallowmas, [[A face in the mirror]] is available, allowing you to leave at {{IL|Nightmares}} 5.


===Leaving===
When you reach {{IL|Nightmares}} 0, [[A familiar darkness]] will autofire, transporting you back to your lodgings. This will cost {{IL|Memory of Light|-1 x}} and {{IL|Having Recurring Dreams: Is Someone There?|-10 CP}}, and gains you {{IL|Wounds|+1 CP}}. 

You can also leave to [[#A state of some confusion (Nightmares)|A state of some confusion]] at any time if you wish. You just need to take a [[Step through the mirror]] on [[A familiar scene?]]
===Other Actions of note===
*[[I will sing with the forest!]] on [[A snatch of music]] provides {{IL|Nightmares|-1 CP}} and also increases {{IL|Stormy-Eyed|+1 CP}}
*[[Eat a plum]] on [[Heavenly fruits]] increases {{IL|Nightmares|+1 CP}} and gains {{IL|Unaccountably Peckish|1 x}}
*The {{IL|Renown: Bohemians}} 40 and {{IL|Renown: The Great Game}} 40 items can be found here. See [[Renown Items (Guide)]] for more information.
