Success

"Have you heard who's coming?"

When word of your attendance gets around, invitations to the party become a valuable commodity. Suddenly, it's the talk of the drawing rooms and coffee-houses.

Success Instructions:
What to do at a party:

1. Your Time Remaining... quality tells you how long you have left at the party. When it reaches zero you will return to your lodgings.

2. Each party passes through a number of stages: arrival, mingling, finding a dance partner, the last dance, dining, winding down, and leaving.

3. Parties are a good way to increase your Talk of the Town quality. At the end of the evening there may be an opportunity to trade Talk of the Town for a Personal Recommendation or Favours in High Places, valuable qualities of use in crafting higher level items.

4. You can interact with specific guests via opportunity cards. Guests will present different possibilities as the evening progresses. Check back on them throughout the party.
