Could he arrange a... diversion... to improve morale? His eyes are opaque. βYes,β he acknowledges. βBut I will require some very particular materials. Don't ask why.β | <ul>[[File:SS specimensmall.png|23px]] 1 x [[Live Specimen]]<p></p> [[File:SS guisemalesmall.png|23px]] 1 x [[Outlandish Artefact]]<p></p> [[File:SS parabolalinensmall.png|23px]] 2 x [[Bale of Parabola-Linen]]<p></p> [[File:SS barrelsmall.png|23px]] 5 x [[Firkin of Prisoner's Honey]]<p></p> [[File:SS skullsmall.png|23px]] 10 x [[Terror]]<p></p> [[File:SS genialmagiciansmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: The Magician|Learning About: The Magician]] β₯ 1</ul> |<span style="color:white;">'''An event on the afterdeck'''</span> <p>The crew gathers before a backdrop of parabola-linen marked with stars and eyes. Their mood is jocular, sceptical, but anticipatory. They could use a show.</p> <p></p> <p>The Magician appears. His eyes are mirrors. (Lenses, no doubt!) He has four arms, like an Indian god. (Surrogates, like his hook, surely.) He exhales blue fire! (Alcohol vapour, probably.) He raises his arms, and the air is filled with golden petals. (Up his sleeve!) Vines leap from the deck, twine his legs, creep up past his waist. (Did he release narcotic vapours?) The air is filled with viric light, and the Neath-roof above trembles, seems to open to a sky with an orange sun. Long grasses rise around you. (Er...)</p> <p></p> It's as if you wander in a meadow. Here and there your crew stand, chatting, laughing, eating fallen fruits. Rich juice runs down their chins. The sun is warm. Walls of jungle rise around you. Beneath your feet, the dark earth churns like the sea, and in the shadows of the undergrowth, serpents hiss like steam - but here, for a while, you are safe. Until you wake. <p></p> <p>You wake. You are in your bunk: the ship is quiet around you, bar the throbbing of the engines that the Magician tends. The watch-bell rings, and you hear crew rouse from their hammocks. You can still smell hot earth, dark fruit.</p> <ul>[[File:SS barrelsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-5</span> x [[Firkin of Prisoner's Honey]]<p></p> [[File:SS specimensmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-1</span> x [[Live Specimen]]<p></p> [[File:SS guisemalesmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-1</span> x [[Outlandish Artefact]]<p></p> [[File:SS skullsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">-25</span> x [[Terror]]<p></p> [[File:SS hunger2small.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">-5</span> x [[Hunger]]<p></p> [[File:SS parabolalinensmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Bale of Parabola-Linen]]<p></p> [[File:SS jigsawsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+20</span> x [[Fragment]]</ul><p></p> | A very expensive way to reduce a large chunk of [[Terror]] and some [[Hunger]].

He abandons himself entirely to the encounter, and, for a little while, the zee and its terrors are quite forgotten. You can never, however, quite forget the hook: but it lends a frisson all of its own. He urges you to ignore the watch-bell when it tolls. But you are the captain, after all.</p> <p>''Game note:'' <span style="color:teal;">Opportunities for other trysts will occur while you're at sea, substantially reducing Terror.
