Turn 8
╚═━┈┈━═╝Mid Autumn Year 1 TURNTURNTURNThe Lead Catfish and the Audacious Crustaceous return to port safe and sound, though sailors seem nervous about the strange mists seen last time the route was travelled.
While the market remains flooded with sand, one particularly irate and eccentric artist has been camping at the port for days waiting on the ships return. Devoid of shoes he demands only the freshest goods for his masterpiece:
One particularly choice load of sand (determined randomly from sand sold this turn, to be declared on the next turn) shall be sold for 0.7 sovereigns. A further 1d3 sand will be sold for 0.6 sovereigns, and 1d6 sold for 0.5 sovereigns.
