Action Cost: 0
Description summary:
The remainder of the description changes with 
Bone Market Exhaustion. Additionally, at Exhaustion < 4, an extra phrase is added based on 
Skeleton in Progress.
| Exhaustion | Description |
|---|---|
| < 4 | She buys skeletons[…] and Possessed Goldfish.
She pays in Morelways and Royal Blue Feathers. Quantities of Royal Blue Feathers scale with your menace multiplied by itself. |
| ≥ 4 | She buys Possessed Goldfish and inventive feats of Monstrous Anatomy.
She pays in Preserved Surface Blooms and Royal Blue Feathers. At other times she would be able to pay well for skeletons with high Menace, but her funds are too depleted[…]. |
| Skeleton in Progress | Additional phrase after "buys skeletons" |
|---|---|
| 0 (Hypothetical Skeleton) | (which you would need to assemble) |
| 10 (Creature) | (though you would need to finish the one you're working on) |

Game Instructions: (see table below)
 Menace | Game Instructions |
|---|---|
| 0 | Since you don't currently have a skeleton with menace to offer, this buyer will not be as rewarding as they otherwise might be. |
| 1 | Your current skeleton has only one point of menace. This buyer will pay something for that, but you aren't getting the most out of their bonus effect. |
| 2 | Your current skeleton has two points of menace. More would make this buyer pay out more extensively. |
| 3 - 4 | Your current skeleton has enough menace to make this buyer interesting. |
| 5+ | Your current skeleton has a lot of menace. This buyer would love that. |
Note that the cost of hiring the busker will be lost even if you decide not to do business with the Teller of Terrors – so be sure you have something to sell her.

[…] a Landlocked Zailor consents to stand by your stall and describe how he encountered just such beasts as yours at zee, […]; how the captain drowned and the ship went down […]
