Success

Moments in darkness

False-star light on the water, in the moment before your dive shatters the surface [...] You rise from the water with your harpoon hooked neatly through the Seal's neck-plates as it follows meekly in your wake. [...]

• You have moved to a new area: Your Cabin
•  You now have 1 x Plated Seal
•  In the Company of Monsters is increasing… (+1 CP)
•  You've gained 1 x A Hunter of Zee-Beasts
• Zailing... has been reset! A new leg on your journey, or an arrival at port? (Removes all Zailing...)
• Your 'Zailing to Destination:' Quality has gone!
• Your 'Zailing Route' Quality has gone! (hidden)
• Your 'Distance to Zail' Quality has gone! (hidden)
• 'In Pursuit of a Zee-Beast' has been reset: a conclusion, or a new beginning?

Failure

Not yet

The glinting of false-star light on the darkness – no, the timing is wrong. The pursuit continues.
