A brief one, of course. But if the Unfinished Man can encounter London, and London can encounter them before they leave Underclay, so much the better.

Success

Careful encounters

[…] you're able to misdirect a host of would-be Carnival-goers. They troupe through the dripping tunnels of the Underclay, laden with balloons, stuffed animals and unhealthy nibbles. They approach the Unfinished Clay Men with some trepidation.

Assisting an Unfinished ManDescription
Recalcitrant Clay ManThe Recalcitrant Clay Man greets the crowd with such a rousing display of indifference that they are convinced he is a great sage, steeped in wisdom, residing as he does in a cave and disdaining all the things of this world.
Studious Clay WomanThe Studious Clay Woman puts them at ease however, with a carefully prepared guided tour […] of dim tunnels that comprise the Underclay. Several of the crowd fall asleep […]. But one retired professor does offer the Clay Man his card at the tour's end.
Mutinous Clay ManThe Mutinous Clay Man has a great many cheerful questions […] Where do the wealthy live […]? And how is that wealth extracted? And how does it travel[…]? And where do the underclass organise?[…] The crowd is thrilled to discuss […] with such an attentive stranger.


Failure

NO

The crowd of Carnival-goers […] approach the Unfinished Man with some trepidation. One small child attempts to feed them Rubbery Lumps. An elderly matron asks unfortunate questions. A Clay Man in the audience recognises the condition of the Unfinished.

Assisting an Unfinished ManDescription
Recalcitrant Clay ManThe Recalcitrant Clay Man makes matters worse when he folds his arms and refuses to contradict his fellow. "I AM AS I AM. HE IS AS HE WAS MADE. A FOOL."
Studious Clay WomanWorse, the Studious Clay Woman has many questions of her own. They are not polite questions. The crowd leaves in state of mortification.
Mutinous Clay ManThe Mutinous Clay Man then ruins things entirely by lurching towards the crowd, arms aloft yelling that he will only be 'finished' when he has consumed a hundred quarts of heart's blood. The resulting stampede is regrettable.
