Interactions[ | ]

Actions Requirements Effects Notes
Send the tomb-colonists to visit Storm's Temple

The Chelonites worship the god called Storm with frightful, bloody rites. Those are the only rites Storm pays attention to. It should keep them distracted.

Distant thunder

"What a charming place that was! If you like skin, and shouting. Actually, I like both those things, so thank you terribly much."

Rare event (35%)
Possibly a fracas

"Come now, Captain, I don't understand what the fuss was about. It most certainly wasn't a brawl. It was barely even a scuffle. Look, let me show you what I did to him. Yes? You see? Well, no, he won't be getting up any time soon, but it's not fatal, is it? My, those priests are cross. I do think priests get crosser than sensible people."

Let them go hunting with Chelonites

The tomb-colonists are grinning and bobbing up and down like a gang of small children. It'd be very dangerous. That's probably why they're so happy.

Disappointment

"Oh, yes, we killed a couple of angler-crabs. (Here's a claw-tip for you.) But no one was hurt, not so's you'd notice. We hardly even lost any limbs. I've seen rougher rugger matches."

Rare event (25%)
Delight!

"You should have been there, Captain! Well, perhaps it's best you weren't. There was a lot of blood, and there was a cataclysmic quantity of slime. And, oh, some deaths. Quite a lot of deaths. I suppose that's zee-monsters for you. Oho! Here's a little something for you. Grace found it embedded in my back."

A Bandage-Colony Reveal'd!

Your bandage-colony has drawn undue attention!

Shouts of rage

Polythreme is known to the Chelonate, it seems. Their Sniffers and Sounders have identified the bandage-colony as a 'hearts-licker spy'. The colony is torn to pieces by a very determined mob. A tomb-colonist who gets in their way suffers the same fate. The others remain prudently below decks.
