Description summary:
The description varies based on 
Something in the Water.
| Something in the Water | Description |
|---|---|
| 6 | The Custodial Chef's trade keeps him busy […] He spends it performing […] miracles of gastronomy and […] well-water, turning the […] fish into mouth-watering dishes. But when night falls, he […] trudges up the hill – towards Mutton Island's ancient stone well. |
| 7 | In the dark, [...] cast against the yawning blackness of the well, the Custodial Chef's movements are solemn, his priestly aspect transformed into something dark and sinister. He reaches for the knife at his hip, pulling a dark shape from his knapsack. |
| 8-9 | The Custodial Chef repeats the sequence – jagged thrusts with his knife, low chanting, gutting and emptying of aquatic viscera – again and again, drawing misshapen offerings from his knapsack to sacrifice to the empty void. |
| 10 | Your head buzzes with the angry weight of the motions of the Custodial Chef. They float in your mind, like an oil slick on water. For good or ill, you have the information you need to perform the treatment for F.F. Gebrandt. |
