City events

Know when a city visit has turned into an event, what to check before you choose, and how to get back on your way.

At a stop or along the street

Some events appear at a city destination. Others interrupt a trip between stops inside a city and may be marked On the city streets. Read the scene before choosing. If a conversation opens a service, check its price and effect on the service screen.

Check the cost and the risk

Read the choice and any cost shown. If you reach a trade preview, compare what you give up with what you receive before you confirm. Some choices leave the result uncertain. If the game offers Enter combat or Enter encounter, get ready for a fight. Defeat ends your run.

Practice a city lesson

If a city event result offers Practice this lesson, open it before you choose Return to city. The lesson runs separately from your journey. You can try the example without spending your journey resources or changing your Health or deck.

Use Pause example to stop the practice clock, Restart example to start over, or Close practice to return to the event result.

For a live fight, see Combat.

Pick up your route

Use Leave it be when the event offers it and you want to pass. After a street event, if the game returns you to the interrupted route, select your destination again to carry on or choose Go back to return to where you started.
