From: Assemble a Skeleton

Consider it an artistic statement.

Game Instructions: If unsuccessful, this may leave you with Wounds. Your own skull will modestly decrease the value of the skeleton, and will not offer any Amalgamy, Antiquity, or (alas) Menace. If this was ever a good idea, it's not a great one now.

Unlocked with Skeleton: Skulls Needed, Device for the Duplication of Bones, 1 x Your Own Severed Head, 1000 x Bone Fragments

Success

Memento mori for a death that has yet to occur

Sadly, it's unlikely anyone will recognise your face with the skin off. People can be so unobservant.

Failure

Is there such a thing as a sympathy migraine?
