Success

Beauty won from murky waters

You manage to slip past the shallows-folk and set to panning in a quiet cove. [...] You retrieve some [glim][...] from the [...] water. [...] You pack up and head back, casting nervous glances back at the quiet shoreline.


Failure

Too late...

Arriving at the shallows, you [...] see that you are not the only one who can calculate Glim-fall. [...] As you return home, you [...] wonder why the sea skimmers are taking the trouble to smash up the black coral [...]. You shiver as you leave.
