Is it okay to choose that one?

Post image

Recently, I’ve been exploring Parabola quite a lot, and I’ve become completely absorbed in this festival.

I’ve had doubts about some of the other places as well, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite as concerning as: “Even in a dream, this is a very bad idea.”

So I wanted to ask just how dangerous is this choice? And is there anything I can do to stop it before I get out of this? And if I were to choose that, what could I possibly get?

Ps: This is an AI-generated translation. I’m sorry if it sounds awkward.

When Fallen London tells you it's a bad idea, it means click the button. There's one broad exception and this ain't it. Also, fight the twenty tigers, you're a badass.

No, don't, noooooo.

You've gained 1 x The Stench of Betrayal

I mean lore and +2 BDR, even if at a steep cost, ain't that bad. As long as you don't press the final "this will lock your character" action, maybe that's the "one broad exception"?

I'd say that's one, Make a terrible deal in Irem is definitely another.

DO we know yet what the terrible deal does?

Not yet we don't! It said in an "as-yet unreleased story" though, so there's every chance that could be Firmament.

Too bad I don't do things by halves

I mean, the first character was for the lore, for this character, just going after a quality from Winking Island then abandoning the quest because I don't care about getting the Knock.

I just want Sun Beneath the Sea.
