Tread carefully. '''{{PAGENAME}}''' became available on the 13th November, 2014, through the new stories function. ==Port interactions== ===[[File:SS Interactions Port Cavendish.png|42px]] Port Cavendish=== <span style="color:white;">A scatter of yellow-lit honey-dens and brightly painted alehouses. To the south-east rises the stone tower of Cavendish Abbey, its ramparts hung with crimson-and-gold banners. There are zailors from all across the Neath hauling cargo, dicing and brawling good-naturedly on the docks.</span> <span style="color:white;">The air carries the sound of zee-shanties sung with more enthusiasm than skill, and the smell of roses edged with brimstone.</span> {| class="ss-table" style="width: 100%;" ! style="width:20%;" | Interaction ! style="width:30%;" | Unlocked by ! style="width:30%;" | Effects ! style="width:10%;" | Notes |- | {{action title|Compile a Port Report}} Though the Isle seems, at present, beyond the reach of the Admiralty's laws, that does not mean that the Admiralty lacks interest in their activities. | <ul> {{link icon|A Port Report: Isle of Cats}} β€ 0<br> </ul> | {{effect title|Roses and kings}} You spend half a day observing the docks and note an astonishing number and variety of ships. Was that a Khanate trimaran nestled beside a vessel from the Iron Republic? The dockhands complain loudly that they have never been busier. The Catties talk ceaselessly and carelessly about smuggling and piracy, but even the most hardened zailors lower their voices when they mention 'the King'. They go even quieter when they talk about the Rose Garden. You make careful notes; perhaps the Admiralty will understand what they mean, even if you don't. <ul>{{link qty|+1|A Port Report: Isle of Cats}}</ul> | |- | {{action title|A Piratical Welcome}} "Welcome to the Isle of Cats," the Wide-Eyed Dockmaster says brightly. "Would you like to bribe me not to write down your details in this nice official ledger?" | <ul> {{link icon|Isle of Cats: The Pirate-King's Notice}} β€ 0<br> {{link icon|A Key to the Cage-Gardens}} β€ 0<br> {{link icon|Echo}} β₯ 5<br> </ul> | You hand over the coins and she tips you a sharp smile before waving you to the nearest alehouse. The entire process is straightforwardly corrupt, and pleasingly efficient. <ul>{{link qty|+1|Menaces: Suspicion||*}} {{link qty|-5|Echo}} {{trigger event|The Rose and Tiger}}</ul> | |- | {{action title|The Honeyed Tongue}} It is both brothel and honey-den, run by someone the Catties refer to as the King's Claw. | <ul> {{link icon|Isle of Cats: The Pirate-King's Notice}} β₯ 1 {{status|You are, almost entirely, beneath his notice}}<br> {{link icon|A Key to the Cage-Gardens}} β€ 0<br> </ul> | {{trigger event|The Honeyed Tongue}} | |- | {{action title|Cavendish Abbey}} The crimson-clad Melliferous Sisters patrol its ramparts, and tend their hives of lamplighter bees. | <ul> {{link icon|Isle of Cats: The Pirate-King's Notice}} β₯ 1 {{status|You are, almost entirely, beneath his notice}}<br> {{link icon|A Key to the Cage-Gardens}} β€ 0<br> </ul> | {{trigger event|Cavendish Abbey}} | |- | {{action title|A Walk in the Rose Garden}} What use is a key, if you don't open things with it? | <ul> {{link icon|A Key to the Cage-Gardens}} = 1<br> {{link icon|Something Awaits You}} β₯ 1 {{status|The waves are flecked with light}}<br> </ul> | {{trigger event|The Garden of Roses and Cages}} | |- | {{action title|Buy a shipment of red honey}} You could sell it for a profit elsewhere. If you were inclined to take your chances with the Revenue Men. | <ul> {{link icon|A Key to the Cage-Gardens}} = 1<br> {{link icon|Echo}} β₯ 600<br> {{link icon|Something Awaits You}} β₯ 1 {{status|The waves are flecked with light}}<br> </ul> | The Melliferous Sister seems reluctant to sell the honey to you, until you show her your silver Key to the Cage Gardens. "You are an intimate of the Pirate-King!" she exclaims. "Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?" <ul>{{link icon|Something Awaits You}} = 0 {{status|That's all for now}} {{link qty|-600|Echo}} {{link qty|+1|A Firkin of Red Honey}} {{link qty|+1|Menaces: Suspicion||*}}</ul> | |- | {{action title|A Gift of Glass}} An emaciated man in lion-coloured robes clutches your sleeve. "Please," he says. "I'm damned. I can't touch the truth. Take this." He points to an unpromising-looking crate, sitting beside a bollard. | <ul> {{link icon|Memoirs: Beginner's Luck}} β€ 0<br> </ul> | {{effect title|Life and light}} "The Sun orders time, do you see? Down here we can only touch time with our fingers. The devils know that. In Irem - In Irem - " His eyes well with tears. Abruptly he turns and plunges into the crowd. You're left with the crate. <ul>{{link qty|+1|Mirrors}} {{link qty|+1|Empty Mirrorcatch Box}} {{link qty|+1|Memoirs: Beginner's Luck}}</ul> | |- | rowspan="4" | {{action title|Sell Sunlight}} Sunlight! that most dangerous of pleasures. Here in Port Cavendish, there's an appetite for dangerous pleasures. But will you be able to negotiate with the sippers of sunlight? | rowspan="4" | <ul> {{link icon|Sunlight-Filled Mirrorcatch Box}} β₯ 1<br> {{challenge|Veils|167}}<br> </ul> | {{style inner header}} | Failed event | rowspan="4" | |- | {{style inner cell}} | {{effect title|Smoke and mirrors}} In back-rooms and cellars, in tangles behind warehouses, you make careful arrangements. The deal is only to take place at second hand: your intermediary will meet theirs. Unfortunately, their intermediary palms off yours with an empty crate, not the original Mirrorcatch Box. You're five hundred Echoes richer, but you'll need another box if you're to do this run again. <ul>{{link qty|-1|Sunlight-Filled Mirrorcatch Box}} {{link qty|+500|Echo}}</ul> |- | {{style inner header}} | Successful event |- | {{effect title|A good price}} "Yes. Yes, I'll pay. Where is it? Quickly!" You wait outside while your customer basks in the sunlight. Once it starts to fade, you re-enter the room and retrieve your box. <ul>{{link qty|-1|Sunlight-Filled Mirrorcatch Box}} {{link qty|+400|Echo}} {{link qty|+1|Empty Mirrorcatch Box}}</ul> |- | rowspan="4" | {{action title|Help Maybe's Daughter search for her mother}} "She comes here, I know. She's always been fond of cats. Well, my father was something of a cat.

She chuckles happily. "I never noticed a thing! Fingers like spider-hatchlings." She rolls a coin between her fingers. "So I tracked him down and congratulated him. And bought him a drink. And one thing led to another. And now he's asleep upstairs at the Rose and Tiger, and I'm down here with his purse. Would you like some money? It's so much fun, money." (You begin to realise how drunk she must be.) "Anyway, no luck. But we'll find her. I can find <i>anyone</i>." She tries, and fails, to snap her fingers. <ul>{{link icon|Learning About: Maybe's Daughter}} = ([[Learning About: Maybe's Daughter]])*2 {{link icon|Maybe: The Isle of Cats}} = 0 {{link qty|+100|Echo}}</ul> |- | {{style inner header}} | Successful event |- | {{effect title|"She was here last week, but - "}} You follow the Daughter's stunned gaze. A woman in a lilac gown leans in the doorway of a honey-den. Her features bear an unmistakable resemblance to your officer's. "We should talk," she says to the Daughter, quite calmly. The Daughter assembles the rags of her composure with remarkable speed. "Excuse us," she says... <ul>{{link icon|Learning About: Maybe's Daughter}} = 1000 {{status|You've found her mother!}} {{trigger event|Maybe a Mother}}</ul> |- | {{action title|Put a blemmigan ashore}} What will they make of it? What will it make of them? | <ul> {{link icon|Docile Blemmigan}} β₯ 1<br> {{link icon|Propagation: The Isle of Cats}} β€ 0<br> </ul> | {{effect title|Gone in an instant}} The blemmigan disappears into the crowd, darting between legs in a violet flash. Pirates shriek, harlots curse. An hour later, you see it perched atop an alehouse roof, tentacles awave, slurringly extemporising an impudent villanelle. A small crowd of locals is cheering. <ul>{{link icon|Propagation: The Isle of Cats}} = 1 {{link qty|-1|Docile Blemmigan}} {{link qty|+1|Propagation: Blemmigans Abroad}}</ul> | |- | {{action title|A delivery for Mr Sacks}} The Pirate-King will have contacts with the Gracious Widow. | <ul> {{link icon|Sacks and Snow: In the Service of Mr Sacks}} = 40 {{status|You have been given your second delivery}}<br> </ul> | {{effect title|Caught in the middle}} King Leopold examines the small jeweled bird with care and a measure of delight. "I do not want to know how you came by this. Should anyone ask, you did not. We shall return it to the owner, yes. Such fine craftsmanship. A true one-of-a-kind creation." He cradles it for a moment, and snaps off the head. "Deliver this to the Widow," he orders, throwing it to his least fortunate smuggler. "We have unfavourable deals to renegotiate." <ul>{{link icon|Sacks and Snow: In the Service of Mr Sacks}} = 49 {{status|You have completed your second delivery}} {{link qty|+1|A Firkin of Red Honey}} {{Trigger event|In_the_Service_of_Mr_Sacks#The_Third_Delivery{{!}}The Third Delivery|Enables|SS sacksgaz.png}}</ul> | |- | {{action title|Have red honey made of the Sensitive Brother's Regret}} It will let you convey his secret to his sister in a form she may find palatable. | <ul> {{link icon|Aigul: Commissioned to Retrieve a Regret}} = 50 to 55<br> {{link icon|Isle of Cats: Isery's Patronage}} = 1 to 100<br> </ul> | {{effect title|An uncomfortable procedure}} You must lie on a bed in the semi-darkness, eyelids propped open and reflexes drug-dulled. Then the bees are admitted. Soon a scout has found you and is dancing out the address of your eyeballs. Now, concentrate! It would be unfortunate if you were to communicate the wrong memory through the bees! You must dwell on the Sensitive Brother's guilt about burning the papers, his lie to his superiors, his determination never to tell anyone. Meanwhile the feet of bees prickle across your eyes. But when it is over you have a stoppered glass of red liquid, prepared for delivery at Hunter's Keep. <ul>{{link icon|Aigul: Commissioned to Retrieve a Regret}} = 70 {{status|Delivered a regret by way of Prisoner's Honey}}</ul> | |- | {{action title|Save the smugglers from Wrack}} A small crowd of smugglers whisper beneath a garland of roses. "She said a taste of this fish could rouse a parson's passions! We'll make a killing in London!" The rest agree to chart a course over Wrack. | <ul> {{link icon|Wrack: A City with Ships to Save}} = 3 {{status|You're going to Port Cavendish}}<br> </ul> | They fall silent as you approach, and reach for their knives. You put your hands up. You've just come from those waters, you say, and there is something they ought to know. By the time you've finished speaking, the smugglers have not only away their knives, they've started reaching for their purses. "A good bit of luck that you caught us," one says. "If I ever find the muggins what near sent us to our deaths, I'm going to bash 'is ____ing teeth in." <ul>{{link icon|Wrack: A City with Ships to Save}} = 0 {{link qty|-2|Wrack: The State of the City}}, only if β₯ 10 {{status|A City that Struggles}} {{link qty|+25 + [1 to 10]|Echo}}</ul> | |- | {{action title|Ambition: Where can you taste red honey?}} The Salt-Scarred Navigator said he tasted memories of a failed expedition against an immortal city. Where is the one who gave it to him? | <ul> {{link icon|Ambition: Death Hath no more Dominion}} = 20 {{status|Pursue your ambition on the Isle of Cats}}<br> {{link icon|Isle of Cats: The Pirate-King's Notice}} β€ 4 {{status|Your antics intrigue}}<br> </ul> | {{effect title|Isery, Cat's Chiefest Claw}} The reports are all the same: Isery manages the Honeyed Tongue, a den of exceedingly select and debased pleasures. You'll have to win their favour if you're to taste the honey. | |- | rowspan="2" | {{action title|Ambition: Discuss the Well-Travelled Notary's memories}} Your quest has led you here. You need to know what the Notary knew - about Nidah, about the Presbyterate, about the secret of immortality. | <ul> {{link icon|Under the Unterzee}} β₯ 1 {{link icon|Ambition: Death Hath no more Dominion}} = 20 {{status|Pursue your ambition on the Isle of Cats}} {{link icon|A Key to the Cage-Gardens}} β€ 0 {{link icon|Isle of Cats: Isery's Patronage}} β₯ 1 {{status|You have accepted Isery's Patronage}} {{link icon|Isle of Cats: The Pirate-King's Notice}} β₯ 1 {{status|You are, almost entirely, beneath his notice}} </ul> | rowspan="2" | {{trigger event|A Deal with Isery}} | rowspan="2" | |- | <ul> {{link icon|Under the Unterzee}} β₯ 1 {{link icon|Ambition: Death Hath no more Dominion}} = 20 {{status|Pursue your ambition on the Isle of Cats}} {{link icon|A Key to the Cage-Gardens}} β₯ 1 </ul> |- | rowspan="2" | {{action title|Invite Isery to join the seven Against Nidah}} Given Lorenzo's misfortune, you find yourselves in need of a new Guide. | <ul> {{link icon|Under the Unterzee}} β₯ 1 {{link icon|Ambition: the Guide}} = 3 {{status|Isery, who dwells on the Isle of Cats, may replace Lorenzo}} {{link icon|Isle of Cats: Isery's Patronage}} β₯ 1 {{status|You have accepted Isery's Patronage}} {{link icon|A Key to the Cage-Gardens}} β€ 0< {{link icon|Isle of Cats: The Pirate-King's Notice}} β₯ 1 {{status|You are, almost entirely, beneath his notice}} </ul> | rowspan="2" | You broach the subject with delicacy.
