@stsword, I’ll tweak the game before release so you can pursue either strategy – try to keep Theurgy as your secret ace in the hole, or use it publicly to terrify your enemies and hearten your allies. Thanks, terrific feedback.
And while I’m at it, a public thanks to Adam Morse for his suggestion (well over a year ago now) that the game would be more fun if a high INT player could use Theurgy. Originally I was going to save that for INT 3 (i.e. next game). It would have been quite a different game.
Re: Alaine Leybridge, you have a “working relationship” with her regardless – even if you’ve not approached her about smuggling, she’s still your best fence. To get Bleys into your band, you need to sell out someone who’s of genuine use. (Ismene’s use will be more apparent next game).
