Success

A largely uneventful night

You do unpeel a number of shambling fungus-things from their slow progress up the east wall of the Observatory. You are paid in moon-pearls, of course.

Rare Success

A rare thing.

It's a calm night.[…] You spend the time listening to[…] the marsh, and watching glim twinkle on the cavern roof[…]. When your watch is over you feel settled, even... content? The city will beat it out of you soon enough[…] but it has made for a pleasant change.

Failure

Blind with coughing–

Around midnight a number of shambling fungus-things make an attempt on the east wall of the Observatory. You unpeel one, but it puffs out a cloud of spores that provoke a nasty allergic reaction. You retire to your lodgings for the night.
