If the Proposal “Level Up!” has not passed, remove the might requirements from the Club and SpikeStick Item descriptions.

Add a new section to the Dynastic rules titled “Levels” with the following text:

Each Adventurer has a Level tracked in the GNDT, which is an integer defaulting to 1. Each Adventurer also has Experience, Magic, and Might, each numbers tracked in the GNDT defaulting to 0.
An Adventurer’s Exp Goal is ten times their level. At any time, if an Adventurer’s Experience is equal to or greater than their Exp Goal, they may subtract their Exp Goal from their Experience to increase their Level by 1.

Hey all!  Glad to see Cuddlebeam isn’t here.  I would like to play again.

In “Monsters”, amend the paragraph beginning “In the Bestiary” to read:

In the Bestiary, there is a list of monster types. Each monster type has a name, a description, a hit point value which is a positive integer, a frequency, which is an integer between 1 and 10, an ecology, which is a list of Wilds, and a list of spoils, which is a list of items paired with a drop rate, which is an integer between 1 and 10. Names are tracked as headings, descriptions are tracked as italics after the name, and the rest of the attributes are tracked as bullet points.

The Bestiary also contains a list of monsters in each wilds.

Amend the “List of Monster Types” section so that each monster’s section is formatted as such, using ASCII quotes instead of curly quotes:

===Bat===

‘’‘One of the most common creatures in the wilds. Since they are nocturnal, they prefer to sleep through the days, making them easy targets.’‘’

* Hit Points: 2
* Frequency: 9
* Ecology: All
* Spoils: Bat Wing (4), Bat Wing (4)

Give the following monsters the following descriptions:

• Goblin:

  While they are not the most impressive prey, goblins are short and stupid, making them fairly easy to kill. If you can harvest their guts, you’re sure to get paid handsomely.

• Wild Boar:

  While some doubt the wisdom of calling this thing a “monster”, it will charge at you and that, to a hunter, is enough reason to fight.

• Shrieking Cockroach:

  For such a small creature, these annoying insects can really screech. This is both annoying for any living thing around it and useful if one is able to harvest it and attack others with it.

• Man-Eating Worm:

  Some of the toughest monsters in the wild. Defeating one of these will most definitely earn an adventurer fame. Just be careful about the poision.

• Squid Thingy:

  Just what… is this thing? Before it was encountered, no one knew these existed. And by all accounts, it shouldn’t. Caution is advised in dealing with these monsters.

If the Electric Mouse is in the list, set its description to:

The size of a housecat, these rodents are extremely excitable. They pulse with electricity every time they find something new. That includes Adventurers, in many cases. If you capture one, it becomes incredibly loyal.

Create a new rule called “Action Points” that reads:

Each Adventurer has a non-negative number of Action Points (AP), tracked in the GNDT as “AP”, defaulting to 4.

Remove the second paragraph of “Locations” and replace “1 TP” in that rule with “2 AP”.

Amend “Hunting” by removing the text “they have not done so since the most recent Respawn, and” and by adding the following bullet point

*Decrease the Hunting Adventurer’s AP by 2

at the end of the list.

Change the bullet point that reads “*Set each Adventurer’s TP to 1.” to:

*Set each Adventurer’s AP to 4.

Change the following attribute of the Flying Boots:

An Adventurer in possession of these boots has their TP set to 2 on a Respawn.

to:

An Adventurer in possession of these boots can travel for 1 AP.

For each adventurer, if they have hunted since the most recent respawn, decrease their AP by 2. For each adventurer, for each time they have traveled since the most recent respawn, decrease their AP by 2.

A worm and a bat appear in the caves.

A boar appears in the canyon.

A cockroach appears in the ruins.

The monsters ambush the party, some lose 3 health.

Add a new Monster to the Bestiary’s List of Monster Types with the following attributes:
Name: Electric Mouse
Hit Points: 7
Frequency: 4
Ecology: Overgrown Forest, Eldritch Ruin, Shadow Mountain
Spoils: Pikachu (6), Lightning (5), Detective Hat (9)
Add the following to the Marketplace’s List of Items:

=== Pikachu ===
When several of these monsters gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.
*An Adventurer in possession of this item has their Support set to 2 during Respawning.
*If an Adventurer loses possession of this item, decrease their Support by 2, if possible.
=== Lightning ===
An electric bolt, literally in a bottle. 
*Attack Power: 4
*Destroy after use
=== Detective Hat ===
A relic of a past dynasty, or a forced reference? That’s one case in need of solving.

Add the following to the Marketplace’s List of Trades:

*1 Lightning Bolt → 30 coins
*1 Detective Hat → 42 coins

If a quorum of EVC’s contain the phrase “Nerf that mouse!”, change both instance of “2” to “1” in the description of the Pikachu item.

Add a new rule titled “Eldritch Victory,” which states:

If an Adventurer has a number of Cryptic Clues in their inventory equal to Quorum, that Adventurer wins the game.

If quorum of Adventurers have a Squid Thingy Larva in their inventory, everybody loses the game.

In the marketplace change:
==Cryptic Clue== to ===Cryptic Clue===
And
==Squid Thingy Larva== to ===Squid Thingy Larva===

In the rule “Items” change:

Each item has the attributes described in the Marketplace.

To:

Each item has a Name, a Description, and zero or more modifiers. Names are tracked as headings, descriptions in italics after the name, and modifiers as a list of bullet points after the description. A modifier may add an attribute to it’s item by listing an attribute name and then a number, which is the value of that attribute. Rules that do not add an attribute are considered rules text that apply only to that item.

Add after “Each player has an inventory, tracked in the GNDT, which is list of items”:

A trade has a cost, which is a list of items, and a good, which is a list of items. A trade is normally written as its cost first and then its good, separated by an arrow symbol.

Add the following to the List of Trades on the Marketplace page:

*1 Monster Guts + 1 Meat → Hearty Meal
*40 coins → Hearty Meal

Also on the Marketplace page, add the following to the List of Items:

=== Hearty Meal ===
Grub, chow, eats, vittles, food.
*An Adventurer may destroy this item to increase their TP by 2.

If at any time a Proposal eliminates Travel Points (TP) and establishes Action Points (AP), change the description of Hearty Meal to increase AP by 4 (instead of increasing TP by 2).

In the “Hunting” section of the rules, add the following under “Remove the Target from the list of monsters in the Wilds it is in.”:

***Optionally choose up to one Tool in the Hunting Adventurer’s inventory to use.

Replace “For each item in the Target’s spoils list, generate a random number between 1 and 10. If this number is higher than that element’s drop rate, add the item to the Hunting Adventurer’s inventory.” with:

For each item in the Target’s spoils list, generate a random number between 1 and 10 and add the chosen tool’s scavenging power, if applicable. If the result is higher than that element’s drop rate, add the item to the Hunting Adventurer’s inventory.

Add the following to the end of the “Items” section:

Items with a “Scavenging Power” are considered tools.

In the Marketplace page, add the following to the description of Carving Knife:

*Scavenging Power: 1

Add to the bestiary a monster with the name “Squid Thingy”, a hit point value of 9, a frequency of 2, an ecology of Eldrich ruins, and a spoils of “Cryptic Clue (7), Monster Guts (5), Monster Guts (5), Squid Thingy Larva (5)”

add the following items to the market place:

==Cryptic Clue==
Strange glowing runes giving fragmentary prophecies

==Squid Thingy Larva==
The juvinile stage of a squid thingy, newly lodged in its human host
*A Squid Thingy Larva” may not be given to another adventurer

Create a new rule called “Action Points” that reads:

Each Adventurer has a non-negative number of Action Points (TP), tracked in the GNDT as “AP”, defaulting to 4.

Remove the second paragraph of “Locations” and replace “1 TP” in that rule with “2 AP”.

Amend “Hunting” by removing the text “they have not done so since the most recent Respawn, and” and by adding the following bullet point

*Decrease the Hunting Adventurer’s AP by 2

at the end of the list.

*Set each Adventurer’s AP to 3.

Change the following attribute of the Flying Boots:

An Adventurer in possession of these boots has their TP set to 2 on a Respawn.

to:

An Adventurer in possession of these boots can travel for 1 AP.

For each adventurer, if they have hunted since the most recent respawn, decrease their AP by 2. For each adventurer, for each time they have traveled since the most recent respawn, decrease their AP by 2.

The party is now well split-up. It seems each member has chosen their own path. Two adventurers sleep in town, Allo being tired from a successful hunt. Goblins and Boars lay dead in the wilds, where the rest of the party sleeps alone.

As the adventurers sleep, tiny but loud cockroaches, hitherto unseen in the wilds, surface in the cave and in the shadow of the mountain. A wild boar gets lost and wanders into the cave, and a goblin arrives from inside the ruin.

When the party wakes up, they once again feel renewed.

Add a new Monster to the List of Monster Types with the following statistics:

Name: Man-eating Worm
Hit Points: 10
Frequency: 3
Spoils: Purple Ichor (8), Poisonous Stinger (5)
Ecology: Dank Cave, Shadow Mountain

If the Proposal “And Where to Find Them” does not pass, do not add the “Ecology” statistic.

Add the following items to the Marketplace:

===Purple Ichor===
Extremely useful for potion making, the blood of the purple Man-eating Worm is extremely valuable.

===Poisonous Stinger===
The Man-eating Worm’s main weapon; it is extremely dangerous. Handy for assassins.
*Attack Power: 2
*If they have not Hunted since the last Respawn, an Adventurer may destroy their Poisonous Stinger to remove a Monster from the same Wilds as the Adventurer.

Add the following to the List of Trades in the Marketplace:

*1 Purple Ichor -> 35 coins

If a quorum of EVC’s contain the phrase: “I like uniformity,” change all text in the Marketplace that is in quotations to italics (i.e. “What a wonderful day” -> What a wonderful day)

Create a rule named “Health”:

Each Adventurer has a Health, tracked in the GNDT, defaulting to 10.

an Adventurer whose Health is zero looses all items in their inventory and may not Hunt.

Add to the list of actions performed with Respawning:

*set the health of each adventurer in town to default.
*decrease the health of each adventurer in the wild by the number of monsters in that wild

change

Each monster type has a name, a hit point value which is a positive integer, a frequency, which is an integer between 1 and 10, and

to:

Each monster type has a name, a hit point value which is a positive integer, a frequency, which is an integer between 1 and 10, an ecology, which is a list of Wilds, and

Add to the rule “Monsters”

An ecology consisting of a list of every wild may be written as the string “All”.

in the rule “Spawning” change:

Create a monster of that type and add it to the list of monsters in a randomly chosen wilds

to

Create a monster of that type and add it to the list of monsters in wilds randomly chosen from that monster’s ecology.

In the Bestiary:
add a column to the list of monster types with the header “Ecology”
Set the ecology of Goblins and Bats to “All”
set the ecology of Wild Boars to “Overgrown Forest, Labyrinthine Canyon, Shadow Mountain”
set the ecology of Shrieking Cockroachs to “Dank Cave, Labyrinthine Canyon, Eldritch Ruin”

On the Marketplace page, create a new top level section called “List of Trades”, and move all bullet points that are underneath a bullet labelled “Trades:” to a list in that section, removing duplicates.

Add to the Marketplace:

===Flying Boots===
“A pair of magical winged boots.”

* An Adventurer in possession of these boots has their TP set to 2 on a Respawn.
* Trades:
** 2 bat wing + 50 coins → 1 Flying Boots

Under the “Coins” and “Monster Bones” items’ list of trades, add the following:

2 bat wing + 50 coins → 1 Flying Boots

I propose the following rule be added to “Hunting”:

Each hunter has health tracked in GNDT, defaulting to 7 health. A hunter may choose to challenge the monster instead of the normal hunting method. When challenging a monster, the hunter and the monster take turns attacking each other (but only actually execute their attack when their speed says so). The hunter chooses from the following attacks: Strike (speed 2, attack 5 damage), Push (speed 5, attack 2 damage), and Guard (speed 1, attack 4 damage, protect from 1 damage from each attack until you retaliate). The monster has a random speed value from 1 to 6, and attack from 1 to 3 (this value is boosted by 1 if speed is 1) damaging the hunter’s life). If their speeds are equal, the hunter attacks first. If their speeds differ by more than 3, the faster character attacks again (this cannot occur more than twice). If a hunter loses during a challenge, they respawn and cannot hunt for at least 4 hours.

The advantages of challenging a monster is greater reaps. Instead of rolling a die from 0 to 10, a hunter rolls 5 to 10, should they successfully kill the monster.

Add a new Monster to the List of Monster Types with the following stats:
Name—Shrieking Cockroach
Hit Points—3
Frequency—9
Spoils—Shriek (4), Shriek (4), Shriek (4)

Add to the marketplace:

===Shriek===
“An enchanted shriek that can be captured in a jar. It grows louder and more chilling with each surface it echoes off.”

* Attack Power: 3
* Destroy after use
* Can only be used by an Adventurer in Dank Cave or Labyrinthine Canyon

I would like to be unidled.

Amend “Items” by adding the following paragraph:

* Generate a random number between 1 and 10 in the GNDT, specifying the Target and the weapon, if applicable, in the associated GNDT comment. This is the Strength.
* Increase the Strength by the weapon’s attack power, if applicable.
* Increase the Strength by the Hunting Adventurer’s support.
* If the Target is a Monster:
** If the Strength is greater than or equal to the Target’s hit points:
*** Remove the Target from the list of monsters in the Wilds it is in.
*** For each item in the Target’s type’s spoils list, generate a random number between 1 and 10. If this number is higher than that element’s drop rate, add the item to the Hunting Adventurer’s inventory.
** Set the Hunting Adventurer’s Support to 0.
* If the Target is another Adventurer:

**1 Small Tusk + 10 coins → 1 Carving Knife

Replace all instances of “1 Small Tusk + 15 coins → 1 Carving Knife” in the marketplace with “1 Small Tusk + 10 coins → 1 Carving Knife”

When Adventurer pokes jumps out of a bush to attack a goblin, the entire camp flees. Some to the caves, some to the canyon, some to the mountain, and some to the ruins. In the frenzy, Adventurer Zaphod swings wildly, knocking a bat out of the sky. Most of the party goes back to town, but some run in pursuit of the goblins. The party later hears rumors that Adventurer Allo had some success with a bat.

As the party sleeps, a boar finds itself in the forest and one of the goblins from the camp found a friend in the shade of the mountain.

When the party wakes up, they feel revitalized.

Add the following under the “Items” section of the Ruleset:

At any time, an Adventurer may Give any number of items by deleting them from their inventory and adding those same items to another Adventurer’s inventory.

If The Trading Post has not been enacted, this proposal has no effect.

Replace the text of “Locations” with the following:

Each Adventurer has a location tracked in the GNDT, which is either “Town” (the default) or “The Wilds”.

Adventurers can post a Travel Plan (TP) at any point by creating a blog comment on the most recent Respawn post describing a valid Location they wish to travel to.

An Adventurer can act on a TP that they have posted by changing their Location to the Location specified in that TP. They can only do so if:

* it is their most recent TP before the most recent Respawn, and
* they have not acted on a TP since the most recent Respawn.

Dynastic actions contingent on Location cannot be taken by an Adventurer if they can act on a TP.

Just over the hill, a goblin camp is spotted. Five goblins huddle around a fire, and four bats are roost in the trees surrounding the fire.

Create a new rule called “Locations” with the text:

Each Adventurer has a location tracked in the GNDT, which is either “Town” (the default) or “The Wilds”. Adventurers can change their location at any time.

Create a new rule called “Items” with the text:

The [[Marketplace]] page is ordained for Item Tracking.

In the Marketplace, there is a list of item types. Each item has the attributes described in the Marketplace.

Each player has an inventory, tracked in the GNDT, which is list of items. If trades of items are specified in the Marketplace, players can destroy the set of items on the first side of the trade to gain the set of items on the other side if and only if they are located in the Town.

Replace the final bullet point in the list in “Hunting” with the following:

*If the generated number is greater than or equal to the Target’s hit points:
**Remove the Target from the list of monsters in the wilds.
**For each item in the Target’s type’s spoils list, generate a random number between 1 and 10. If this number is higher than that element’s drop rate, add the item to your inventory.

In “Monsters”, replace:

a frequency, which is an integer between 1 and 10

with

a frequency, which is an integer between 1 and 10, and a list of spoils, which is a list of items paired with a drop rate, which is an integer between 1 and 10.

* Choosing one Monster in the Wilds; this is the Target.
* Generate a random number between 1 and 10 in the GNDT, specifying the Target in the associated GNDT comment.
* If the generated number is greater than or equal to the Target’s hit points, remove the Target from the list of monsters in the wilds.

This dynasty seems to have an interesting idea with adventurer and monsters, I’m hoping to introduce some cool non-RNG battle mechanics which could be cool

To the rule “Spelling”, add:-

* The terms “Adventurer” and “Player” are synonyms.

Replace “player” with “Adventurer” throughout the dynastic ruleset.

Luther&Locke idles out after a week’s inactivity. Quorum remains 4.

Create a new rule called “Monsters” with the text:

The [[Bestiary]] page is ordained for monster tracking.

In the Bestiary, there is a list of monster types. Each monster type has a name, a hit point value which is a positive integer, a frequency, which is an integer between 1 and 10. The Bestiary also contains a list of monsters in the wilds.

Create a new rule called “Spawning” with the text:

The following atomic action is called Spawning:

* Randomly choose a monster type from the list with the probability for each being that type’s frequency over the sum of all types’ frequencies.
* Create a monster of that type and add it to the list of monsters in the wilds.
* The Dungeon Master can only perform this action as described elsewhere in the ruleset.

If they have not done so in 70 hours, the Dungeon Master should perform the following action, called Respawning:

* Establish the ideal monster population (IMP) as the number of active players plus two.
* If there are a number of monsters in the wilds is equal to or greater than the IMP, create a blog post to this effect and skip the rest of the steps.
* Otherwise, spawn monsters until the number of monsters in the wilds is equal to the IMP and create a blog post describing all monsters created in this step.

Create a new rule called “Hunting” with the text:

If they have not done so since the most recent Respawn, and they are located in the Wilds, Adventurers can Hunt for a Target by performing the following atomic action:

* Generate a random number between 1 and 10.
* If the generated number is greater than or equal to the Target’s hit points, remove the Target from the list of monsters in the wilds.

Create a new page on the wiki called “Bestiary” with the text:

== Monsters in the Wilds ==

*

== List of Monster Types ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Name !! Hit Points !! Frequency
|-
| Bat || 2 || 9

A party of adventurers arrives in a town at the edge of civilization. What lies beyond is an endless wilderness. Very little is known about it other than that it is very large and very dangerous. Many claim it’s full of ferocious monsters.

Most people would stay as far away from such a place as possible. But not our intrepid friends. Each member of the party has their own motivation for braving the Wilds. But who will return to tell of their exploits is yet to be decided.

Repeal all Dynastic Rules. Replace “Detective” with “Adventurer” and “Chief” with “Dungeon Master”.

Now that victory has been locked down, here’s a thread for post-game discussion.

Joshua knew it would be a fool’s errand to attempt an escape from a Chamberlain house crawling with cops and detectives, so instead he just stood there as he waited to be handcuffed and hauled away, relatives gawking in disbelief.

Joshua would later confess to the crime:

“Yes, I killed him. Can you blame me? He only married his first wife for love. The rest he married for money, or in my mother’s case, political influence. My mother was decades younger than him, but after Anne and I were born, he divorced my mother. I was six years old. I hardly remember her, and poor Anne only knows what I told her.

“I had to do it. Not because of something he did to me—in fact, I had a nice, luxurious life in Chamberlain house—but because of what he did to all of his wives and his children, and because of what he would do if he was still alive.

“It was easy to slip the poison into his glass of red wine as I visited. The old fool likes his wine red and old, so I didn’t have to worry about him seeing or smelling it. It took an hour or two, but he eventually died in the Billiard Room.

“Anyway, it had to be done. Lock me up if you want. I stand by my decision.”

Meanwhile, the guests congratulated the detective Trigon on his discovery. Each time someone did so, he would politely thank them, but deflect the blame. “Half the work was done by my sidekick, pokes. I was just double-checking.”

This is an accusation.

Joshua was the killer. He did it with poison in the Billiard Room for the purpose of revenge.

The butler, Cartlesham, serves the house’s guests with strong coffee as the investigations continue into the night.

Update: Seven clues were found. It becomes Public Knowledge over coffee that Isabel is not the murderer.

If the Chief has not voted for or deferential on this proposal, the rest of it has no effect.

In “If the Chief has not done so in the past 46 hours”, replace 46 with 22.

In “A Sluggish detective may only change their Location once in any 54-hour period”, replace 54 with 36.

Unattended candles begin to gutter and smoke in the dining room.

Update: Five clues are found. It becomes Public Knowledge that Fire was not the method of the murder.

As a bullet point under “Move all Restless Detectives to random Locations.” add:

If this Search is the eleventh through the fourteenth Search, move all Detectives whose Location is one of the Murderer Possibilities to a random Location that is not one of the Murderer Possibilities.

Add to the list of traits:

* Sluggish (Negative) A Sluggish detective may only change their Location once in any 54-hour period.

and:

* Intimidating (Positive) Affects Discovery.

Add to the list of bullet points under “Establish the Target’s gullibility as:”

* 0 if the target is an Intimidating Detective whose Location is any of the Possibilities of the Murder’s Murderer.

The grandfather clock gives a single, echoing chime.

Update: Eight clues are found. Public Knowledge is that Robert is not the Murderer.

In “Accusations”, replace “which is a blog post that names one Possibility for each of the four Qualities of the Murder” with:-

which is a blog post that names one Possibility for each of the four Qualities of the Murder, and which does not name the same four Possibilities as an earlier Accusation

An owl hoots.

Update: Five clues are found. It becomes Public Knowledge that Politics is not the motive of the murder.

Create a new rule, “Accusations”:

The number of allowed Accusations is 1.

If a Detective has done so fewer times in this dynasty than the number of allowed Accusations, they may publish an Accusation, which is a blog post that names one Possibility for each of the four Qualities of the Murder. Within 48 hours, the Chief shall comment on the Accusation stating whether all four Qualities in the Accusation are correct. If a Detective has submitted an Accusation and all four Qualities have been confirmed to be correct:
* If they do not have the Sidekick trait, they have achieved victory.
* If they do have the Sidekick trait, they may then specify in a comment on the Accusation that another Detective should achieve victory; the first Detective named in this way has then achieved victory.

If no player can publish an Accusation, the Chief can amend this rule to increment the number of allowed Accusations by 1.

When a player joins or deidles, for the purposes of this rule, they are considered to have published a number of Accusations equal to the number of allowed Accusations.

Hello! I just got here. I’m excited to join the game!

Create a new rule, “Accusations”:

The number of allowed Accusations is 1.

If a Detective has done so fewer times in this dynasty than the number of allowed Accusations, they may publish an Accusation, which is a blog post that names one Possibility for each of the four Qualities of the Murder. Within 48 hours, the Chief shall comment on the Accusation stating whether all four Qualities in the Accusation are correct. If a Detective has submitted an Accusation and all four Qualities have been confirmed to be correct, they have achieved victory (unless they have the Sidekick trait, in which case they may specify in a comment on the Accusation that another Detective should achieve victory; the first Detective named in this way has then achieved victory.)

If no player can publish an Accusation, the Chief can amend this rule to increment the number of allowed Accusations by 1.

When a player joins or deidles, for the purposes of this rule, they are considered to have published a number of Accusations equal to the number of allowed Accusations, minus 1.

Replace the subrule “Revolving Door” with:

Each Detective may optionally have their own Warp Phrase, encouraged to be added to this Rule by Proposal. If the most recent change of Location for a Detective (“the Warper”) was made with a GNDT comment that included their Warp Phrase (with matching capitalization and punctuation), then any Detective (or the Chief) may move the Warper back to their previous Location.

Warp Phrases are:
* Allo: “......”
* derrick: “Yes, yes, its relevant.”
* pokes: “I don’t remember every single clue the next day.”
* Trigon: “What’s that? Of course I was searching for clues in there!”
* Zaphod: “Sure I’m a high school detective, so what?”

Add a subrule to “Locations” called “Revolving Door”:-

If the most recent change of Location for the Detective named Trigon was made with a GNDT comment that included the phrase “What’s that? Of course I was searching for clues in there!”, then any Detective (or the Chief) may move the Detective named Trigon back to the previous Location of the Detective named Trigon.

The Detective named Trigon may repeal this rule at any time.

The hallway grandfather clock whirrs and chimes the half hour, and the searches continue…

Update: Four clues were found. It becomes Public Knowledge that Jealousy was not the Motive of Morgan Chamberlain’s murder.

Change the bulleted list in “Searching” to:-

* Post a blog entry announcing that a Search is in progress.
* Move all Restless Detectives to random Locations.
* For each Detective, Investigate with them as the Target.
* Any Genius Detective who is Roaming and who has not already had an Insight this dynasty has an Insight: upon doing so, they find four Clues.
* Select a random Disproof Possibility. Establish this as the Public Knowledge.
* If any Clumsy Detectives were informed that Clues were Disproofs during this Search, then the Possibilities of those Clues are established as the Accidental Noises for this Search.
* Edit the first blog entry to announce that a Search has occurred, how many Clues were found during it, the Accidental Noises for this Search (if any) and the Public Knowledge.

Change the bulleted list in “Searching” to read:

*Post a blog entry announcing that a Search is in progress.
*Move all Restless Detectives to random Locations.
*For each Detective, Investigate with them as the Target.
*Any Genius Detective who is Roaming and who has not already had an Insight this dynasty has an Insight: upon doing so, they find four Clues.
*Edit the first blog entry to announce that a Search has occurred, and how many Clues were found during it.

Night deepens and a thick fog begins to fill the lawns and gardens of the mansion. Five clues are found.
