"They shtole our Axile artsh. They fought. They would be ush." It shakes with rage or laughter, and collapses before the altar. "Shtill, the change remainsh. The change remainsh!" It's the longest speech you've ever heard from it. It remains motionless in prayer while you search. An inscription on the altar reads SO ARE WEE SHAPEDE. The stonecraft is perfect, but the spelling seems eccentric. Two stone knives rest on its surface, along with a chunk of flint that might be a knife, a tool or simply a lump of rock. Three human skulls wait in a niche at the back. Two have warped and lengthened jaws: the third has slumped and run like a melted candle, although it feels as solid as any bone to the touch. What now? You can press on, but the going will get harder from here. Or you could turn back with your treasures. <p></p><ul>[[File:SS eolithsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Ambiguous Eolith]]<p></p> [[File:SS whispered_secretsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+3</span> x [[Secret]] [[File:SS guisemalesmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+2</span> x [[Outlandish Artefact]]<p></p> [[File:SS skullsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+3</span> x [[Lamentable Relic]]<p></p> [[File:SS godfall portsmall.png|23px]] [[Uncovering Mysteries: the Shattered Citadel]] = 1<p></p> Trigger [[File:SS newgatecellargaz.png|23px]] [[Exploring the Shattered Citadel]] event<p></p></ul> | |- | rowspan='2' | [[Salt Lions]] | rowspan='2' | <span style="color:white;">'''"Shalt-Flions"'''</span> You've brought the Nacreous Outcast here.

It pauses at the top, and then flips into the air - an arc as precise as a compass-line, down into the darkness of the zee. It's gone with barely a splash. You wait. There is no reason for alarm. It can probably breathe water. You wait longer. There is a certain degree of decorous alarm. Longer still, and the alarm manifests in the form of zailors clustering casually by the rail - only casually, because no one would admit any concern for the fate of a Rubbery Man. The Rubbery Man surfaces! It mounts the steps to the quay, with the ceremonious delight of a vicar mounting the steps to a pulpit. It holds a sphinxstone chess-piece aloft in its hand... "Principles," it wheezes. <ul>[[File:SS buoysmall.png|23px]] [[The Gods of the Zee: Salt's Attention]] = 0<p></p> [[File:SS principlesofcoral portsmall.png|23px]] [[Principles' End: Principality]] = 11<p></p></ul> | |- | [[The Pulse of the Principles]] | <span style="color:white;">'''Offer assistance with dissolution'''</span> In the flow of air through the cavern, you hear the voice of the Principles, langorously pleading. "I offer an assistant," it flutes. "And scintillack. You enjoy scintillack, aren't you?" | [[File:SS principlesofcoral portsmall.png|23px]] [[Principality]] = 6</ul><p></p> | <span style="color:white;">'''An assistant'''</span> A Rubbery Man rises from a cyst in the floor. An iridescent cicatrice crosses its face. Even in this flood of silvery light, it pulses like a fevered moon. It shuffles closer. "Shalt-Flions," it wheezes. Unprecedented! A Rubbery capable of human speech (in however debased and pitiful a mode!) "My emissary," the cave whispers. "Treat it gently." The whisper follows you back up the steps. "Take it to the Salt-Lions..." <ul>[[File:SS nacreousoutcastsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Nacreous Outcast]]<p></p> [[File:SS principlesofcoral portsmall.png|23px]] [[Principality]] = 10</ul><p></p> | |- | [[The Pulse of the Principles]] | <span style="color:white;">'''Win the match'''</span> The Principles will be reduced, as it desires, to a mindless hump of coral. The Outcast stands trembling behind the board, ready to enact the Principles' moves: its mind will be destroyed with its master's. | <p></p><ul>[[File:SS principlesofcoral portsmall.png|23px]] [[Principality]] = 25<p></p></ul> | Move and counter-move. The pieces click and hiss on the board. The victory is easy. The Emissary whimpers and topples his own Kin; he begins to melt like snow in a desert wind. Scintillack sloughs from the roof, gathers around you in great shining drifts. The voice of the Principles washes over you like the zee, urgently chanting secrets. For every one you hear, another two are lost to the grinding of the rock, or incomprehensible to a mind that has not laired centuries beneath the waves... but you learn, and learn. Your brain is bursting with knowledge. Now the voice of the Principles falters, is gone. It subsides into happy mindfulness with a last melodious sigh. The Outcast's face blinks at you from its puddle of goo, and then it too dissolves. The Wakeful Idol which sat on the chess-board now squats by your feet, eyes bright. The Principles had suggested that it would become more, when the Principles became less. It seems a little taller, somehow. <p></p><ul>[[File:SS nacreousoutcastsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-1</span> x [[Nacreous Outcast]]<p></p> [[File:SS chesspiece apocyansmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Apocyan Chess-Piece]]<p></p> [[File:SS island2small.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Memory of Distant Shores]]<p></p> [[File:SS idolfacesmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Vigilant Idol]]<p></p> [[File:SS gleamsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+4</span> x [[A Lump of Blue Scintillack]]<p></p> [[File:SS scintillacksmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+12</span> x [[Scintillack]]<p></p> [[File:SS whispered_secretsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+21</span> x [[Secret]]<p></p> [[File:SS principlesofcoral portsmall.png|23px]] [[Principality]] = 200<p></p></ul> | |- | [[The Pulse of the Principles]] | <span style="color:white;">'''Lose the match'''</span> You are enmeshed in an alien scheme. Perhaps you mistrust it. Perhaps you pity the Outcast. Whatever your motives, you will throw the match on purpose, leaving the Principles trapped in consciousness, defeating the purpose of this whole quest. | <p></p><ul>[[File:SS principlesofcoral portsmall.png|23px]] [[Principality]] = 25<p></p></ul> | <span style="color:white;">'''Infinite regret'''</span> You make a foolish move. Another. Hope dawns in the Outcast's moistly shining eyes. The Principles rumbles as it guesses your intent. The Outcast twitches with delight. It moves its Night. Your Kin is imperilled. "Now I regret," the Principles sighs. "Now at last I regret. I regret trusting you, stranger. And you, my Emissary, who was almost me -" The Emissary makes its final move. You topple your Kin. The cave around you is silent. The Outcast straightens, taller than you have ever seen him: it extends a slippery appendage to shake your hand. Together, you climb the steps back to Port Cecil. The Principles never speaks to you again. <ul>[[File:SS nacreousoutcastsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-1</span> x [[Nacreous Outcast]]<p></p> [[File:SS chesspiece apocyansmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Apocyan Chess-Piece]]<p></p> [[File:SS island2small.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Memory of Distant Shores]]<p></p> [[File:SS nacreousoutcastsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Nacreous Survivor]]<p></p> [[File:SS enigmasmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Searing Enigma]]<p></p> [[File:SS principlesofcoral portsmall.png|23px]] [[Principality]] = 100<p></p></ul> | |- | [[The Throne-Cyst]] | <span style='color:white'>'''"Give me back my Outcast."'''</span> "Its mind is gone," the King warns you.
