The Dream Well

Crew: Any casterCan repeat

In the Still Room crewmate has gone very still, the way a sleeper does just before they speak. Down in the well there is a fox, red as a coal, watching them. It is not afraid of anything. Its ears go flat at every roll of thunder.

Let crewmate follow it.
crewmate wakes smiling. "A fox," they say. "It knows where the shot is going before it goes." They flinch, a little, when the hull creaks in the wind.

The Dream Well

Crew: Any casterCan repeat

The Still Room lamp has burnt down and crewmate has not noticed. Down in the well an owl turns its head all the way round and looks back at them, and past them, and further.

Let crewmate follow it.
"An owl," crewmate says, blinking at the daylight. "It could see to the edge of the chart." From then on they are always the first to call out a sail.

The Dream Well

Crew: Any casterCan repeat

crewmate is breathing fast in the Still Room, though they have not moved in an hour. Down in the well a hare is running. Nothing is chasing it. It does not stop.

Let crewmate follow it.
crewmate is on their feet before they are properly awake. "A hare," they say, already halfway up the ladder. They move quicker after that, and they do not stay long anywhere that is going badly.

Something big is moving in the well under crewmate. A bear, broad as a door, shoulders through the dark toward them. There is silver dust caked on its muzzle.

Let crewmate follow it.
"A bear," crewmate says, and stretches until their joints crack. They seem larger somehow, and harder to knock down. Now and then they look toward the back fences at port, and do not say why.

In the well a stag stands at the edge of its herd, counting them in as they pass. When one does not come, it waits a very long time.

Let crewmate follow it.
"A stag," crewmate says, and looks round the Galley as if seeing the crew for the first time. They are quick to make friends after that. You wonder what it will cost them to lose one.

The Still Room is so quiet you can hear the ley current in the planks. Down in the well a heron stands in gray water, one leg drawn up. It does not hurry for anything.

Let crewmate follow it.
"A heron," crewmate says, very slowly, and takes a long while getting up. Their mana comes back like a tide when they sit quiet. It is harder to hurry them anywhere.
