Remedies for Madness and Moments of Sweet Relief

Gamble your excess Health by smoking Winter Grease

It is not hard to acquire a gob of the tarry, sticky black. They are sold all along the harbourside, with the desiccated forms of their regular users ever shambling towards the dealers. You follow the **** souls towards one such shady individual and pay the modest monetary price.

You have lost 2 Taler

You now have {@69 Talers} Taler

The price you pay with your health is higher. As soon as you light the green-glass pipe, oily smoke penetrates the deepest recesses of your lungs and steals your rattling breath away. White lights appear before your eyes and your weak knees cannot support another step. You fall to the mattress as the flimsy pipe shatters on the floor.

Dreamless oblivion welcomes you.

You spent some time ****, how long exactly you cannot tell

{if The Passage of Time > 95} Your Time in Barenhaven is running out {elseif The Passage of Time > 80} Your Time in Barenhaven is coming to a close {elseif The Passage of Time > 60} You have some Time left in Barenhaven {elseif The Passage of Time > 50} Your Time in Barenhaven is half-way over {elseif The Passage of Time > 30} You have quite some Time left to spend in Barenhaven {elseif The Passage of Time > 15} You have a lot of Time left to spend in Barenhaven {elseif The Passage of Time > 5} Your Time in Barehaven has just begun {else} You are now spending Time in Barenhaven {endif}

A wheezing cough shakes you awake. Your lungs are sticky with burning goo and you, the room spinning around an unfixed point, hack up dark phlegm. Cold sweat runs from your brow and clings to your shivering form.

You have lost Health

Your Health is now 4 – Unharmed

Your body does hurt, but your mind has cleared. You remember nothing of last night and less about the horrors of the Sea.

You have gained Sanity.

Your Sanity is now: {if Sanity = 2} 2 – Nightmares {elseif Sanity = 3} 3 – Bad Dreams {elseif Sanity = 4} 4 – Dreamless Sleep {elseif Sanity = 5} 5 – Pleasant Dreams (This boon will not last) {else} X – You are not playing {endif}

It is a painful peace, but it is peace nonetheless.

You rise to take an early lunch
