When Investigating, you bring 1 Action Point
for each Ability Icon on your Character Sheet
that matches an icon on the Dread card (this is
referred to as your Action Point Total. ) If the
sum of all players’ Action Point Totals meets
or exceeds the Dread card’s Difficulty, the
investigation is successful. Remove the Dread
card from the Location and put it on top of the
Investigation Deck. This represents picking up a
clue or simply being bolstered from taking down
a powerful foe.
If, however, the sum of the Action Point
Totals among the Characters investigating the
Location is lower than the card’s Difficulty, the
investigation has failed. Leave the Dread card at
the Location.
Note that, since all Characters have a icon,
everybody brings at least 1 Action Point to an
Investigation.
Dread cards
The Dread cards represent potential trouble and/or clues spread across the city of London. They begin a Chapter face down.
Name
Dread Value - The number of points by which the Dread Track will
go up if the card is revealed but not successfully investigated.
Tier - Dread cards belong to one of two Tiers. Tier I cards are used in a
Story’s 1st Chapter, while Tier II cards are used in the 2nd Chapter.
Ability Icons - For each of these Ability Icons you bring to the
investigation, you earn one Action Point against the card’s Difficulty.
Story - This is provided as inspiration. Feel free to come up with
your own stories.
Investigation Difficulty - To successfully investigate a Dread card,
you must first turn it face up, then provide Action Points equal to or
greater than the card’s Difficulty. If successfully investigated, a Dread
Card goes on top of the Investigation Deck.

Jacqueline Degas and Jack Murphy investigate the Dread card ‘A Tough
Bargain’ together. The card has a Difficulty of 4. Comparing the Ability icons
on her Character Sheet with the icons on the Dread card, Jacqueline counts 3
Action points (1 for , 1 for and 1 for ). Murphy, on the other
hand, brings only 2 Action Points (1 for and 1 for ). Adding their
Action Points together, the two investigators provide 5 Action Points, which is
enough to beat the card’s Difficulty. They put the Tough Bargain card on top
of the Investigation deck.

Gaining Additional Action Points
If you are short the required number of Action
Points required to successfully investigate a
Dread card, there are three ways of gaining extra
Action Points:
Each of these methods always only counts for
the Action where you use them and never carries
over to future Actions.
Drawing from the Investigation Deck
If you find yourself at an investigation and
happen to be one or more Action Points
short, you may try your luck drawing from the
Investigation deck. Shuffle the entire deck.
Then, draw from the top. You may draw as
many cards as you want, adding ALL applicable
icons drawn to your Character for the duration
of the investigation. When the investigation is
concluded, permanently discard all cards drawn
in this way. If you intend to use this method
at a particular location, mark it with the Red
Investigation token – This corresponds to the
card backs of the Investigation deck.
