Now, your payment.” He opens a polished suitcase. You glimpse sheaves of official documents written in Presbyterate script, stamped with an ornate crest showing a horse, a bull, and a stag. The case clicks closed. He hands you a rosewood box.</p> <p>“The finger bones of a murderer, who killed five Puzzle-Kings in the age before Nidah rose. In addition, the flint knife he slew them with, and the intersecting device-fragments he took from each. Unfortunately, the sixth piece - the murderer's - is lost.”</p> <ul> [[File:SS declaimsmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:red;'>-7</span> x [[Low Barnet: Storyteller]]<p></p> [[File:SS guisemalesmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:green;'>+5</span> x [[Outlandish Artefact]]<p></p> [[File:SS eolithsmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:green;'>+1</span> x [[Ambiguous Eolith]]<p></p> [[File:SS skullsmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:green;'>+1</span> x [[Lamentable Relic]]<p></p> <span style='color:teal;'>Return to</span> [[File:SS lowbarnetsmall.png|23px]] [[Low Barnet]]<p></p> </ul> | |- | <span style="color: white">'''Trade a story for a map, and knowledge'''</span> “I've come into possession of an old zee-chart, scribbled with perfidies.

You study it beneath a lantern of reclaimed stained glass. The chart is thick with notes: names, addresses, passphrases, strings of numbers and symbols. Judging by the numbering in one corner, it is only one of several such charts.</p> <p>A detail in the compass rose catches your eye: an ornate initial ‘B’. And what's this in the margin?

Two brothers lived by the zee. When their mother passed, they divided up her pearls. But there were an odd number, and the brothers fought. One died, the other wept.
