Choice Text and Results

Offer it the jar (evil)

You extend your hand with the captured faerie towards him. He reaches out and takes the jar gently from your hand, somehow ignoring the hundreds of intervening feet.

Without preamble, he opens the jar, throws back his head and swallows the trapped creature. A greenish glow spreads over him and he seems to almost smile.

Across the distance he locks eyes with you. In his eyes' depths you can see the endless oceans and the civilizations buried there. You feel as though one is even nearby.

What seems like hours later, you come to. The figure is long gone, although you can hear his strange song in the distance.

You've learned a new Skill: Ocean Eyes

(Lose trapped faerie)
(With unearthly coin equipped, gain Freezing Coin).

Offer it the poison (evil (1))

You extend your hand with the poisoned bait towards him. He reaches out and takes the jar gently from your hand, somehow ignoring the hundreds of intervening feet.

Without preamble, he opens the jar, throws back his head and swallows the bait. A greenish glow spreads over him and he seems to almost smile.

After several long moments, his body stiffens and he clutches tightly to the rock. A few moments later, his body has become another part of the stone.

(Lose jar of poison)
(Unlock getting Fae Eyes the next time you get the Dance in the Sewage noncombat encounter)
(With an unearthly coin equipped, gain Cool Coin)

Listen to its song

Barely visible in the moonlight, the strange fishlike creature cranes its head back and sings a song of loss and desire. When it finishes, you have no idea how long you've been there, but feel more aware of your surroundings.

You've gained 20 energy of Ocean Song.

Wander off
