Having zailed further across the Unterzee than any other*, only one worthy voyage was left to me: The River.



Not as exciting as the last mission: I just found an uncapped Wounds source in a place you can't die and clicked the same button many times. And it looks like Failbetter patched this, since today I was sent to the boatman long before reaching my goal of 77.



Continuing the worst tradition of all time, I missed the October Exceptional Story unlock to do this stupid failed stunt.



(The mantelpiece item is the ghost of a long-dead bug, just seemed appropriate to include at this moment when I am perhaps the weirdest profile in all fallen London.)



*Believe not the slanderous "evidence" from a thousand Admiralty vessels who claim I spent a year zailing in circles.

11/3/2017 Absurdly high wounds would be a nice place to hide an Easter Egg, but I'm assuming you didn't find anything?



Either way, congratulations on being so impressively dead

11/3/2017 I used the "examine the machine" option in the Trial and Error exceptional story.



Failbetter explains why I died: "The storylet you were playing wasn't Must urgency, just a normal storylet which happened to link back on itself. As such, doing basically anything other than playing a branch would cause you to fall out of the storylet and run into the Wounds Must autofire; I can't tell exactly how it happened, but using an item or hitting Perhaps Not are fairly likely causes."



I think someone invited me to a wedding and I poked around my inventory looking for a nonexistent invitation item.



But now that I sent them an email about it, the Wounds quality for that storylet has been capped.



I know falling on the sword of my own stupidity is kind of the point of these stunts to begin with, but the @$#@ ES unlock system makes it so much worse.

Depending on how precise your tastes are, there might be a new wedding you can go to a month from now.
