Interactions[ | ]
| Actions | Requirements | Effects | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Try the grilled troglodyte prawns
Huge and pale, and their eyes stare bleakly into yours. But they smell fresh. |
|
Not bad at all
Tangy and toothsome. Walk on, chewing cheerfully.  -5 x Hunger
 -2 x Terror
 +1 x Fragment
That's all for now
|
|
| “Do you have anything more... robust?”
The vendor winks, and produces a usefully anonymous skewer of meat. |
That particular hunger...
Now satisfied. Rich and red. -5 x Hunger

| Try something mysterious
What exactly is 'tyrant's treat'? The vendor is vague. It looks something like a charred stick dripping with bluish fluid. |

Failed event | |
| Hold your nose
You follow the vendor's advice, holding your nose as you swallow, but the smell - something like rotting fruit - still makes you gag. The ‘stick’ is leathery - the blue stuff is rubbery as drying mucus. You fail to keep it down, and disgrace your captaincy there on the street. +5 x Hunger
+5 x Terror
That's all for now

| Rare and delicious!
Tyrant-moth antennae! You know how to deal with these. You break it into fragments and swallow the dripping fragments each in a gulp, exhaling briskly to savour the vapours afterwards. It's a complex rather than a pleasant flavour, but its tonic effects are marvellous. +2 x Hearts (if ≤ 200)
+2 x Iron (if ≤ 200)
 +2 x Mirrors (if ≤ 200)
+30 x Fragment
That's all for now

| Try the shredded jillyfish
It's not to everyone's taste. |

| Force it down
Urgh. You'll regret it later. The jillyfish's venom numbs your tongue and roils your stomach. +1 x Terror
-2 x Hunger
That's all for now

| Jillyfish: the food of queens
Traces of its venom still remain - just enough to make your tongue tingle and alter your consciousness a touch. Your pulse accelerates, and odd thoughts sparkle in the forefront of your mind. -5 x Hunger
-2 x Terror
+10 x Fragment
That's all for now
