Text
When the Fist Manip said he wanted me to check out a Lustrous Lass, I didn't realize that was a ship's name and almost said something regrettable. But when he said the vessel was under quarantine after drifting in to harbour with a dead crew, I realised Ilmater had a task for me.
The crew were dead indeed, of poison or pestilence, but what killed them? I found a wicker basket of rotting fruit of a kind I didn't recognise - could that be it? There's an aura of wickedness here that belies mere death by food poisoning. I must search more thoroughly, but all of a sudden I'm feeling tired. Very tired.
Notes
Despite the book mentioning a wicker basket full of rotten fruit, and wicker baskets full of rotten fruit being found far and wide across Baldur's Gate, there are no wicker baskets upon the Lustrous Lass.
