Work the Case
When you have at least 3 solid clues and lay
out the facts as you see them, roll +INT. *On
a 10+, hold 3. *On a 7-9, hold 1. Spend hold on
the below within the next hour or so:
 You identify whoever is immediately
culpable.
 You know where your foe is hiding
 You know what is missing, and where to
find it.
 You deduce something of the crime or its
perpetrator – their mood, their resources,
their intent or their next move.
Make sure to tell everyone how these
deductions came to you.
Order and Method
When you enter into necessary roughness,
and purposefully take a moment to analyze
an opponent, hold 3. You may spend this hold
to add +1 to any single roll for your or your
allies, but you must describe the critical detail
you picked up on that you’re exploiting.
Choose one of these two to start with:
My Business is To Know
You have a superhuman knowledge of a fringe subject: mycology, soil composition, chemistry,
lineages or something else. Tell the GM what it is and note it here:
The Game is Afoot!
You’re rivaled in your tracking ability only by the bloodhounds. If you have an article of clothing, a

The Great Game
You’re in this for yourself, it’s all about the
chase for you, and if you weren’t a
detective, you’d probably be the greatest
criminal mastermind the world has ever
seen. When you Work The Case hold 1,
even on a 6. Marx XP when you sacrifice
personal comfort for the job.
Fame And Glory
Your name remembered forever – that’s
what it’s all about, your genius recognized
as it should be. When entering a new town,
you can probably be recognized and use
your renown as Leverage when Parleying
with authority. Mark XP when word of your
deeds spreads somewhere new.
Fill in at least one with the name of a companion, or
write your own.

Reveal the truth, the real truth, and vanish.
