Success

Collected

It all bleeds out of you, ache and bruise and injury. The Moth-Eaten Mortician collects it […] "We will use this to tint the cocoon," he explains, […] "Should the moth turn towards the hunt, its wings will already know of life, and blood, and beating hearts."

Description summary:
The second paragraph of the description varies with Autolepidopterist.

Autolepidopterist	Description
1	He lets you take a shroud of fine grave-silk, rescued from an incoming guild-barge. He behaves as though this is an act of supreme generosity, but it does not nearly cover his fee.
2	He lets you take another length of silk, this time black and smooth. Again, he acts like he is being supremely generous. He pockets your stuivers with a single gesture.
3-9	The same dance as always – he offers you a conciliatory bolt of fine guild-spun silk. If it is meant to be an apology for the cost of this business, it is inadequate.
?+	The same dance as always – he offers you a conciliatory bolt of fine guild-spun silk. If it is meant to be an apology for the cost of this business, it is as inadequate as ever.

Failure

Inopportune timing
