I'm stuck somewhere after 'Tribute to Memory'. I have only one quest, which is related to either merchants or one of the giftable collections. I also had one other non giftable collection that is not on this list, Rumormonger.

Story wise, I got to page 159. A lot of things happened:

- there was a prophecy (that said find me more stuff so I can give you a better prophecy - I'm paraphrasing)

- went to give a broken jug to Ursula Byron (no, me neither), fortunately we couldn't because the lady was fretting about her missing niece (they said busy in the diary). Imagine the scene: here's a broken jug, isn't it pretty. I don't think we would get refreshments after a gift like that.

- the young missing hussy left clues to be found in the mountains by colonel Hammerstrike and he carried her back in her arms. Me (and everybody else) knew she was faking it to be alone with him, but for some reason they made me go with the colonel, so they couldn't be left alone. After the 'rescue', I had to find ingredients for another potion to prove she was faking it. If this sounds convoluted it's because it is convoluted. Don't like being a third wheel.

- in the meantime, while this Dark Prophecy is happening and things are burning, people disappearing etc, Mr. Karpels magic enchanted violin is cheering up townspeople. Funnily enough, page about the violin contains words like complex, complicated and confusing. Really? This is the part that was complex, complicated and confusing.

- Ben found that somebody belonging to organisation with bird masks (I'm certain I had this quest before but never mind) is hypnotising citizens to believe everything they say about me. Shocking!

- artist Salvador was attacked, the portraits he made were stolen but fortunately I managed to get them back (yey me)

Who knows how many pages to go.

And kudos for Vivi-notes for figuring out how to estimate when fixers appear 😘
