Turn 1 ends.  I used the last of  starting gold on rumors, only one was a success.

The upside to this playthrough being complete is that, knowing how it ends, I’m able to shift some things around to set up later payoffs. The Elder Signs play through was a seat of the pants kind of story that invoved last minute problem solving.

The whale barkeep came out pretty well, I’ll have to bring him back somehow.
