Swamped

There's a spot of something on the paper already. It reminds you of the unusual slime you found on Mortimer's shoe. But you only catch a glimpse, and asking about it would be risky. Why would you take an interest in it unless you already knew something?

So you just keep it in mind, sit down, and wait for the show to start. A few minutes later, someone in a very flashy outfit steps onto the stage.

"Welcome, Port Sarvakken!" they exclaim. "We've had a lovely time in your city, but sadly, we'll have to leave it at the crack of dawn. But rest assured, we won't be leaving you unsatisfied! Tonight's show will be extra-special. We've added a few extra scenes for tonight only, and in fact, one of them will be right at the start. And let me assure you, it's one you won't want to miss."

They walk up and down the length of the stage.

"Of course, we mean to surprise you with these scenes, and every one of them will take your breath away. But I think I can let you in on a little hint as to what one of them will be about, just to whet your appetites."
