A fisherman at the canyon floor serves the day's catch on a chalk blackboard. Squire Vladislav swears the fish was still blinking.
Brothers! Our scouts, descending the steep path to Mġarr ix-Xini bay, stumbled upon an establishment that defies all military classification.
At the bottom of a canyon — so deep that our engineers deemed it a natural fortification worthy of the Grand Master himself — resides a fisherman who sails out on maritime reconnaissance every morning. The results of said reconnaissance land on a chalk blackboard, which the Order initially mistook for a siege plan.
"Lampuki" — chalked — "caught at dawn." "Octopus" — "from yesterday's patrol, matured overnight." "Orata" — "last two, first come first served."
Squire Vladislav ordered "whatever you recommend" and received a fish so fresh that — he swears — it was still blinking. The Commander tried to pay in ducats, but the fisherman only accepts "those small metal discs inscribed EURO."
Strategic location: canyon floor. The enemy won't attack because they can't find the way down. We barely found it ourselves.
The Order rates 5 shields out of 5. Half a bonus shield because the fisherman catches more in one morning than the Order's entire fleet does in a quarter.*
*The Admiral ordered this sentence struck from the chronicle. We're keeping it.
Tip
The blackboard menu changes daily. Order whatever's fresh — the fisherman caught it this morning. Steep road down, but worth it.
