[QUOTE="Sanglorian, post: 5874696, member: 83822"] Orange gems, huh? Now where have we seen them before in connection to hot water ... Nice call back ;) Alright, I'm on holidays for the next two weeks so it might be a while till I can make another contribution. Here are the last two that I had stored up :) [B]THE CROSS (02.11)[/B] Sailing on the Ocean of Bitter Regrets takes its toll on a man. The sailors and pirates who slide into the Cross are a gloomy and superstitious breed, carefully storing their loot while asking why they bother: all bankers are thieves and all sailors die young. The Cross’ taverns fill each night, but drinkers are more likely to cry into their cups than start a bar fight. There are gaudy prostitutes, but the women who do the briskest trade are the Matrons, large and comfortable ladies who dole out hugs and head pats to any who will pay for them. Do not make the mistake of thinking that misery makes this city safe. Many sailors are paranoid, sure that others wish them ill. A maudlin pirate is a pirate nonetheless, who may call out for his lost Lisbet but will still relieve you of your gold. Upon reaching the shore, many sailors become fiercely keen on righting the wrongs of the past. And of course the Pirate Kings send out their press gangs with electrified mancatchers to collect crews for their cloud castles. The Skull, a floating city of moored ships, used to sit in the bay of the Cross. One day, the King of Salt and Brine was caught in one of its ropes and pulled the whole armada out to sea before freeing himself. Where it floats now, no one knows. [I]Hooks[/I] Where is the Skull now? Are the Matrons as motherly as they seem? On whom do the Pirate Kings prey? Why are the Pirate Kings gathering their forces and their cloud castles? [B]THE FALLSALT MINES (44.03)[/B] A great mess of winches, elevators, ladders and ropes allows hardened salt miners to lower themselves down the World’s Edge and winch up blocks of salt cut from the dry seabed. The mines have operated for over two hundred years, creating a mess of rooms, corridors and sharp drops which have not been torch-lit for decades. These rooms are used as shelter by beasts, dehydrated and disoriented by their passage across the seabed. Some never leave, sipping from the wells sunk by the miners and feeding on one another – and lost miners. The salt itself is sold widely across the Lands. The night cattlemen use it for cowlicks, having found that it leaves their cows less neurotic than that harvested from the Sea of Bitter Regrets. Even the aurochs of the Burning Lands have been seen licking a block stamped with the waterfall symbol of the miners. For the past three months, no salt has been sent from the mines. Both the cattlemen and the gnolls – each thinking themselves the major customer of the mines – have sent large teams to find out what has happened. The Temple Indivisible is also putting together a team, having found recent sacrifices heartbroken and poetic. [I]Hooks[/I] What’s happened to the miners? What’s deep in the salt mines? What effect does fallsalt have on cattle and men? Who owns and runs the mining operation? [/QUOTE]
