The Constabulary of the Evenlode
Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions. |
The police quarters fill only a wing […] Rooms have been set aside for cells, interrogation, police dormitories and offices. Left unused – and unusable – are the mossy corridors that head down into the water […]
It is cold; it settles into the bones. […]Description summary:
The second and third paragraphs vary based on Seeing Banditry in the Upper River, and a fourth paragraph will be added at a certain point of the
Novice Policeman storyline.
![]() | Second Paragraph |
---|---|
0 | Camp stoves have been set up in the halls for heat. |
1 - 2 | Camp stoves have been set up in the halls for heat. In the cells, the few prisoners huddle together for warmth. |
3 - 5 | Camp stoves have been set up in the halls for heat. In the cells, the prisoners jostle and squabble. But the temperature saps the fight from them. |
6 - 7 | Camp stoves have been set up in the halls for heat. The cells are packed. The meagre upside for the prisoners – this drives away the chill. In one sense only, they're the most comfortable here. |
![]() | Third Paragraph |
---|---|
0 - 3 | A fire has been got running in the main entrance area. Next to it, a smokey, alcohol fuelled card game has drawn a number of spectators. |
4 - 5 | A fire has been got running in the main entrance area. Next to it, a smokey, alcohol fuelled card game rolls onward. There are few onlookers – most are required to help quell the criminal elements of the Upper River. |
6 | A probationary officer hands out extra scarfs to the stream of officers rushing for the exit. The Constabulary of the Evenlode is on high alert; even the off duty officers have been summoned to work. |
7 | There is only a skeleton staff – enough to patrol the courts and to keep an eye on those already under arrest, but that's it. All available officers have been sent to deal with the criminal elements plaguing the Upper River. |

---|---|
3 | An officer is waving vigorously at you. He clearly wants you to come over. |
