Success

A shadowed gaze

Your captain won't look you in the eyes. "The Deconstruction," she whispers. "It took everything we had. It gave us this." She holds out a bundle of watchful mechanisms.

Alternative Success

A lively cargo

With obvious pride, your captain throws back the lid of a coffer. Beetles! It's full of beetles, glowing like elfin lamps, clicking like a nest of typewriters. She squints uncertainly. "Was that not what you were hoping for?" she enquires.


Failure

No luck

No-one is willing to risk the dangers and uncertainties of the zee: the changing fogs, the zee-terrors, the nameless gods, and above all, the enormous crabs.


Failure

A brave fool
