The cursed storage

event Storage (Dreadnought) · Events (all zones)

You cautiously approach a ghostly figure seated behind a table, seemingly engrossed in tallying the ship's supplies on a list, unaware of your presence. He seems to be the purser, the person who controls and distributes the equipment and supplies on the ship. The purser appears extremely bored, almost on the verge of falling asleep. While you could easily ignore him, speaking to him might provide valuable insights into what's happening here. After all encountering a friendly soul here was certainly unexpected. Will you ignore him?

🎲 Group 4+★ XP 12📦 Supplies ,

[Success] When the purser hears you asking for the latest rumors, his eyes widen with excitement. Eager to talk, he starts complaining about the lack of supplies, the crew's constant requests, the uncomfortable chair he's been stuck in for the last three hundred years, and how he lost the key to Halfman's treasure chamber. He mentions that the door is so thick it would take a well-placed cannon shot on the hinges to open it, but his eyesight is so poor he can't even see three sailors riding a whale. The purser keeps talking nonstop for a while, but you quietly slip away when he pauses. It seems he could go on for ages! You get: XP 12
