Success

A swift eye for value

You sort through the amulets with a decisive swiftness. You separate them into three piles on the table of a tavern within earshot of the gallows: amulets containing messages, fakes, and your fee.

• Watchful is increasing…

•  You've gained 21-60 x Relic of the Fourth City

Failure

Inexpensive intrigue

Fake... fake... fake... D__n, but these spies are cheap! And you'll never know why your contact chose a tavern next to the gallows to do business. All that gurgling and thrashing isn't doing your concentration any good.
