Challenge information

A matter of luck: The odds are against you here (success chance: 40%)

Success

A relaxing stroll

For once, the University grounds are quiet. Your walk is blessedly undisturbed by explosions, students engaged in potentially-fatal 'japes', or stray cricket bats.

  • 22 Research with 7 Equipment Level and 3 Workers (at least 1 Expert or Expert Student)

Alternative Success

A day for good deeds

You stop briefly at your laboratory to announce the joyous news; the rest of the day is spent far away, being seen in much more respectable endeavours than Science.

Failure

Revivifying

Alternative Failure

An invitation to tea

A placid cup with the Prim Baroness at Beatrice's – good for the nerves, even better for the reputation. Your ongoing experiment will do without you for a day, surely.
