Description varies with level.

FirmamentDescription
69The Starved do not look up as the sound of wings recedes. [...]

The oldest Starved gestures. [...] "She offers an apology," [...]

"She says they are Edge-Starved. Penitent. They assisted a monstrous crime, to prevent something terrible." [...] "But she [...] wants to speak to you."
70As the Starved confer, you cannot help but note how often they look [...] above, and below. Nor can you ignore how few they are [...]. Only these three appear to remain [...].

[...] "She hopes to be of assistance [...]. She requests to know from where you hail."

71[...]

[...] "She too is concerned about the rain," the Forlorn Shepherd translates. "She has made guesses but they have not left the Gullet in some time. If we share what we know of what has occurred outside, she may be able to guess at the source."

[...]

[...]
72 - 74The Throatstitcher waits politely for your response, a series of arms folded below her long long neck. The Starved are silent but for the gurgle of curdled, corrosive milk from their model-machine.

Above, you hear only the faint drumbeat of wings[…].
