No sense going off half-cocked. Get the facts straight before you make your move.

Game Instructions: This will spend On the Trail to grant you some Sudden Insights. These may be helpful in closing the case.

Success

Ahah!

Your materials are string, pins, and a very patient sketch artist. Your wallpaper is riddled with tiny holes, but finally, you can see the bigger picture.

Success Instructions: Sudden Insights offer you Second Chances on Watchful checks. You can use Second Chances to retry a failed check – but you must choose to spend them before attempting it. If you fail, you get another shot. You lose the Second Chance either way.

Second Chances are particularly useful for branches that you can only attempt once, or where failure would set you back to some degree. Depending on your Watchful level, it may be wise to spend one to close the case of the Tattooed Courier.

You can also spend Second Chances in Your Social Engagements to improve your skills.
