[…]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. |
