Name	Scrounging
Cost	4 points
Prerequisites	None
Key Words	General / Once per day
Description	Once per day, the character may find coins and minor valuables. After ten minutes’ suitable roleplay – poking around the backs of tents or miming picking pockets in crowded spaces – the player may go to the Game Organisation Desk to declare they have been scrounging and draw a ball from a bag, to determine how many items they receive. A result of a “black ball” triggers a dangerous consequence, including being caught by a mark or accosted by a public official. Note that items gained via Scrounging have a shorter expiry than those made by crafting or other routes, since they are not freshly made or gathered items.
Progression	None
