Hull ≤ MaxHull-1

Failed event | Game note: This will repair some of your Hull. How much? Difficult to say. |
| An unfortunate turn of events
Rats sweep over your ship like tide! Day and night, their tiny tools click. Your crew step over them cautiously. Unfortunately, some complex rat-vendetta is at play here: warring rat-families decide to use your ship as a battleground. They're quite well-behaved about it, and the damage is minimal - but an unfortunate passing zailor gets a rat-bullet through the eye and drowns in the Thames. You protest, but the contract is clear - there is an exception for 'ocular perturbations.' | |||
| Rare failed event (25%) | |||
| Open warfare
The rats are hardly an hour into their work when the trouble begins. Someone's surly, speechless rat-steed eats someone else's packed lunch. Someone's hot-blooded friend eats the rat-steed. The rats exchange cross words, then blows, then shots. The ensuing battle sweeps over your ship, and disappears down the dock. At least they didn't have time to eat much. | |||
| Successful event | |||
| A benevolent infestation
Rats sweep over your ship like tide! Day and night, their tiny tools click. Your crew step over them cautiously. Eventually the rat-tide withdraws. How good a job have they done? | |||
| Rare successful event (25%) | |||
| Something like Christmas
You wait for the rats to arrive. And wait. And wait. A whole night passes. That morning, you stamp down the gangplank in a state of some irritation... to find the ship in eerily perfect condition. Only one crate of supplies is missing. The rat-foreman seems as confused as you. He looks at his feet and sketches a sign with his finger, a looping conundrum of a symbol. He mutters something under his rat-breath. "Fungus"? | |||
| Visit the Admiralty fuel stores
If you've done good work, the Admiralty will issue you with a book of little chitties. |
Favours: Admiralty's Favour ≥ 4
 Hearts challenge (84 for 100%)
|
Failed event | Game note: This will exchange 1 point of Admiralty's Favour for 2-3 Fuel. |
| Success, eventually
The good: free fuel. The bad: a half-hour argument with the quartermaster, who insists that your chitties have not been stamped by the Office of Incongruous Requests. Eventually, she grudgingly permits you to load your fuel-cart.  +2 x Fuel
-1 x Favours: Admiralty's Favour
| |||
| Successful event | |||
| Success!
The quartermaster is not usually friendly, but you have enough zailors' jokes and harbour gossip to set her laughing nostalgically. She is remarkably liberal about the measurement of fuel. +3 x Fuel
-1 x Favours: Admiralty's Favour
| |||

The Magician will supervise the work himself... at night. |
 The Satisfied Magician ≥ 1
 The Serpentine ≤ 0

Your ship is in acceptable shape, thank you! |
London!
