Wandering through the docks, you eventually find a well placed pile of crates to fish behind. You manage to stay out of sight and get in some good fishing time.
Man, you didn't hook anything. Must be the weather or something.
or
You found: items - see list below(And sometimes, if your fishing skill improves)
You've gotten better at fishing.
If you are etheric, had flipped an unearthly coin prior and with high test active, this message gets attached:
A massive serpent rises from the lake, your fishing hook latched to the corner of its mouth. It stares down at you as water cascades off its form.
You can faintly hear the sounds of dock hands screaming and running over the serpent's roar.
