Event 0085 Taverns.
Failed Difficult for companion.
Event 0103 Wager, purloin or subtlety, acquire a map. If you currently have a Penultimate Quest, it’s over and failed by geas. Money beats enlightenment for Aja's quests.

Event 0203, treasure quest point to Underworlds.

Event 0610, Explore Underworld.
Check Ignoble Desires.
Event 0627, Chasm
Success Tasking roll for swaggering, Speed & Guile.
Pending Doom, Event 0232.
Goto endgame of active quest.
Event 1849, Magical Discovery
A place of fabulous wealth and the riches of past ages.
Choice to goto Short-lived Contentment? Pass.
Zero quest event and clues.
Next event 1849 + D20. (Nine a poor roll as will be seen.)
Event 1858, Master of the Key.
The vault to the best treasure, the items of any significant value, is located but seems impassable, a block with a bizarre keyhole.
Check Ignoble Prudence.
Lose any Blessing and next time Fate Unknown, Event 1387 instead Death of Character, Event 1408.
Attempt Tasking roll, no pickpocket. Failed. Keymaster laughs; continue with Test Bravery, Event 1860.
Event 1860, Test Bravery. Fight for the treasure. Already have Ignoble Battle.
Your Blessing is Herculean physique, so that you ignore the Perilous Outcome of Treasure Laden. I remove that. Ignore until I level or hit Fate Unknown. (Which I treat as Death until I level.)
Fail Difficult roll no swaggering. No Bowman for auto success.
Next event 1860 + D8.
Event 1866, Hide Best Trinkets.
Your Blessing is serenity that allows you to ignore the Perilous Outcome of Haunted by the Arcane (Cursed). I will keep Herculean Strength (instead).
Make a map to the treasure I left behind. A happy wish but a stupid bet.
Check Ignoble Magic toward advancement. Just two away from level one and a skill.
Choice on whether to continue with Perilous Condition Lost (Muddled) or Treasure Laden. I ignore Treasure Laden so I pick that.
If I had Treasure Laden already I would be slain (goto Death of Character, Event 1408). But no Treasure Laden. Leave w/ this treasure quest finished.
Event 1282, Short-Lived Contentment.
Event 1287, Grow Bored.
Check Ignoble Magic (already have).
Success Ordinary roll to avoid Perilous Condition of Lost (Muddled).
Instead gain random magical ability, Hexes, fighting monster.
Event 0946, Fight Beast.
Expected to win. Check Ignoble Battle (repeat).
Have no companion to lose. Opt not to select Martyrdom.
Event 0959, Grappled.
Attempt Difficult roll. If you have Trait Energetic, reduce Degree of Difficulty to Ordinary. Upon success goto Convalesce, Event 0127, but with failure goto Death of Character, Event 1408. End Result Slain.
Event 1408, Death of Character.
Count first death on character sheet. Not playing Hard Core.
No companion as soak off; my roll.
Event 1409, Education. Change all your skills. Level zero, I have none.
Event 0127, Convalesce.
Do not have an active quest with a Penultimate Event, remove any Perilous Condition of your choice. I have none.
Success Ordinary roll for Companion Wench, my nursemaid.
Event 0144, Wellwisher
Event 1282, Short-Lived Contentment.
More later...
Yours,
