1Rays slant around you [...] leading you deeper into the Delight.

Here are the crew's quarters [...] where they guard the Second Sacristan's cabin. More music filters through the door, thunderous and sublime as the great organ at St Fiacre's Cathedral.

You're on the Delight's waist deck.
2What birds aren't gathered here to sing sweetly? [...] as you step into the ship's hold [...] Winged creatures, bats, even insects (the droning dragonfly, the buzzing bee), are assembled, collected in silver cages [...] You're in the Delight's hold.

Descent

Description summary:

On the Deck of the DelightDescriptionQuality Change
1Narrow stairs. Tight, dark, and cramped. [...]

Here are the crew's quarters. Too many people, too close together, packed like eels into a tin, and you're just another. Squeeze through. Wriggle. The Second Sacristan's cabin is ahead [...]

You're on the Delight's waist deck.
2You smell the hold before you enter it. An eye-blistering stench [...]. Not to mention the sweltering heat, and the squawks and the shrieks [...]

Liquid from the oozing wood has pooled deep in the ship [...]. Feathers float everywhere.

You're in the Delight's hold.
