The Wayward Will: Interrogate the L.B.s
| Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions. |
The motley band of miniature cracksrats glare, and mutter, and finger tiny weapons, but it's all bluster. They're easily cowed, and eminently bribeable.
[…]Description summary:
The remainder of the description varies based on 
Taking Notes... progress.
| Taking Notes... | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | "What questions? We ain't done nuffin'! […] you ain't the law, anyhow," one of the L.B.s pipes up, proving that 'intelligent' is not the same as 'smart'.
The rest silently shuffle backwards. You focus on the Self-Appointed Spokesrat, who looks nervous. |
| 1 | Your Self-Appointed Spokesrat smiles ingratiatingly up at you. At least, that's probably what they're doing. It's difficult to tell, with rats.
"Okay, boss," […] "Ask away. We ain't got nuffin' to hide no more. Honest." One of the other L.B.s sniggers. |
| 2 | The Spokesrat nibbles ruminatively[…], the memory of Uncle Gussie's death proving to be not very distressing after all. They fix a speculative […] eye on you. "Any chance of a thimble o' gin? Just to take the edge off, like."
Time to ask another question. |
| 3 | The rat burglars have answered all your questions, and yet you barely know any more than when this interrogation started. Hang on, is their co-operation a ploy? Was that a smug look […], quickly hidden? […]
"Got any other questions, boss?" |
| 4 | The last morsel of cheese vanishes, and the L.B.'s co-operation goes with it. You could likely find a cat or a peckish urchin to threaten them with, […] but you've probably got what you need. There's no sense in unnecessarily prolonging this little chat. |
