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 mentioning of a wicker basket full of rotten fruit, no wicker baskets can be found on the Lustrous Lass.
