Blind Bruiser is the intermediary between you and the Man of Business.

Description

Blind Bruiser may look like an ordinary pirate but look again. His connection to the Man of Business makes him a profitable, but dangerous, business connection. Double cross him and you will see his blade up close.

Interactions

When you approach the Blind Bruiser, your Suspicion increases. This does not include the sale of sunlight though.

Cargo that the Blind Bruiser is asking you to deliver is only being checked for by the The Revenue Men which only care about your cargo hold when File:SS Circumstances Something Awaits You.png Something Awaits You ≥ 1 and ≤ 30.

An Inspection by the Ministry of Public Decency which only come by when File:SS Circumstances Something Awaits You.png Something Awaits You ≥ 31 and ≤ 50, will walk past anything related to Blind Bruiser without batting an eye, which actually helps with suspicion unless of cause you are also cheating their side of the law.

To be able to safely deal with The Revenue Men either keep your eyes on File:SS Circumstances Something Awaits You.png Something Awaits You, and don't enter London when "the stars aren't aligned" in your favour, or keep your Veils high and your Suspicion low (more info on The Revenue Men page). You could also land in a nearby port (Hunter's Keep, Quaker's Haven, Light-Ship) to swap your favourite aft accessory for a Concealed Compartment or to waste your File:SS Circumstances Something Awaits You.png Something Awaits You (if that's possible) and get back to London with a different value (a value of 0 should theoretically work).

Alternatively you can spend Favours: Admiralty's Favour.

Or you can pay the tax or get caught, and then pay 1500 x Echo to the bruiser to compensate for your failure.

Alternatively you should be able to survive the failure with high iron.

Failing all that will be the death of you.

If you are not comfortable about your chances of surviving the consequences of your next touching reunion with the The Revenue Men, you may want to end your dealing with the bruiser before he decides to spring his next smuggling errand on you.

An offer for your sunlight
