==The Bleak Industrialist's Estate== ''The estate takes up half a street. The mansion itself is a grandiose structure with Venetian windows, a cupola, columns in the Palladian style. But the garden is tangled with weeds. Muddy water pools glumly at the bottom of disused fountains. The Industrialist receives you in one of his drawing rooms, sitting with a rum-glass beside a fire. He has a sour cast to his mouth and eyes that blaze with indiscriminate loathing.'' <big>'''Trigger conditions'''</big> [[File:deathsdoorstep icon.png|23px]] [[The Long Passage]] β₯ 1 β€ 26, <br> <big>'''Interactions'''</big> {| class='ss-table' style='width:100%;' !style='width:15%;'| Actions !style='width:30%;'| Requirements !style='width:40%;'| Effects !style='width:15%;'| Notes |- | {{effect title|Ask why he sent for you}} <div>Before he answers, he knocks back the rum in a single gulp and calls for his butler to fetch another.</div> | <ul> * [[File:deathsdoorstep icon.png|23px]] [[The Long Passage]] = 1 <span style='color:#C03060;'>[</span><span style='color:white;'>Meet him at his estate in Port Prosper</span><span style='color:#C03060;'>]</span><p></p> </ul> | <span style='color:white'>'''A proposal '''</span> <div>"There is a distant kingdom where the dead can be found."
