Actions	Requirements	Effects	Notes
Witness the keening Listen...		Deeper still The death-song rises, rises... then falters, falters and dies away. And then it is taken up again, by voices to a distant starboard. Then, voices from astern, then from all around. Your hull shakes with harmony. When you come back to yourself, and to the feel of still metal under your hands, you do not know how long the silence was. +50 x Fragment
Butcher it for supplies What else are these great roaming oil-flasks for?	Below ≤ 0	Tryworks The surgeon goes to work on the great body as it floats alongside you. Layer upon layer of red flesh opens like an oily, lucrative blossom. You shall eat well and juicily, the mechanisms will run greased and quiet, and the stacked bones will fetch a fair price to buttress the bodices of Society folk. +0 x Supplies +2 x Stygian Ivory
		Rare event (10%)
		Four red walls It falls to the surgeon to butcher the great body. Layer upon layer of red flesh opens like an oily, lucrative blossom. And inside the whale's belly: an accretion of hair and rags and bones. Upon a leg-bone is etched: 'Imprisoned to wander. Digested by boredom. Nidah’s revenge. Batuk.' The message must have taken an age to carve, with no light but phosphorescence and no tools but teeth. +1 x Extraordinary Implication

Let the beast go Its wound is fatal. It will surely head to the Gant Pole.	Gant Pole: The Fading Haruspex ≥ 1 [The Haruspex clings to life a little longer] Gant Pole: Something Ends ≤ 0 Under the Unterzee ≥ 1	A behemoth goes to die The crew watches uncomfortably as the red wake spreads. Is this mercy, or cruelty? The murmured arguments continue long into the night. The looks they shoot you are all the harsher for their uncertainty. Gant Pole: Something Ends = 1 [Thalatte] +2 x Terror	Game note: This will send this beast to the Fading Haruspex/Old Zailors
