You leave Skully's and look out into the blackness for the starwhal - it doesn't take you long to find. Off a ways you can see it, its horn a beacon in the dark. It seems to be followed by a trail of stars, like some kind of cosmic shepherd.
It takes you a little longer than you expected to get close to the starwhal. In fact, this starwhal seems to be quite significantly larger than you realised.
You get up close to it and realise its size - this starwhal must be absolutely ancient to have grown this large!
You try to get its attention to talk to it.
