Dialogue

Event start

If Catch and collect the flying fish (80) succeeded:

Churning Rapids: Great catch today, Harb. Hope your knife's ready to scale.

Unstilled Harbor: Mm. Not a crap catch. Pretty good, even for you. What'd you do, bribe 'em?

Churning Rapids: Oh, you know my spear paw. Quick as a journeykin's leap. Hah, was all sorts of silly-silly, you see...

Unstilled Harbor: Got the wayfinder's help, did you? You wanna help me? Prep needs to start...well, now.

Churning Rapids: (grumbles)

If Catch and collect the flying fish (80) failed:

Churning Rapids: How do, Harb.

Unstilled Harbor: How do.

Unstilled Harbor: Look on your face tells me all I need to know about your catch.

Churning Rapids: Tried to recruit the wayfinder for help, but you just can't expect perfection first time.

Unstilled Harbor: Don't blame the wayfinder for your slack. Give 'em here; I'll make do with whatever you caught. Wayfinder, wanna help me, too?

Unstilled Harbor: Skin, gut, salt, and dry. In that order. Fish're going sour real fast these days, so let's get to work.

Taking a raw fish

Unstilled Harbor: Rot is settin' in fast. Gotta skin them first.

After skinning fish

Unstilled Harbor: Next, scoop out the guts and bones. All we want is the flesh.

After deboning fish

Unstilled Harbor: To make 'em last as long as possible, they'll need a good salt bath.

After salting fish

Unstilled Harbor: Then you hang 'em up to dry.

After drying fish (one of the following)

Unstilled Harbor: The more we prep, the less we waste.

Unstilled Harbor: I've seen worse. That knife work'll get easier each go.

When 3 minutes are left on the timer

Unstilled Harbor: (sniffs) Oh, that smells something awful. Better hurry up—rot's taking this batch already.

Event success

Unstilled Harbor: Takin' a closer look... Good knife work. Salt could be a little better dispersed. But it ain't bad, Wayfinder.

Unstilled Harbor: I'd serve any of these to the Claw. Don't hesitate to help again.

Event failure

Unstilled Harbor: Rot got 'em. Sour luck; it was a decent catch, too. Just don't blame yourself.

Unstilled Harbor: Whatever rot is making its way through the delta is turning their flesh to bad apple skin. Can't help that, can we?
