An Unfortunate Case of Desiccation

 is a Sunless Skies Random Event.

Story description
''The shades you recruited in the Blue Kingdom have gathered at the windows. As the light of strange stars falls on them, they begin to turn – inexorably – to salt.''

''Their skin desiccates, becoming glittering and rough. Joints stiffen. Extremities, then whole limbs, fall to the ground and break into chunks.''

''Some of the shades continue to stare, rapt, through the windows. Others look to you, their eyes quizzical in their masks. Some hurry to dark corners of your locomotive. It does not help. Soon there is nothing left of them but mounds of salt, and cracked porcelain masks. The Lost Love(salt_description)''
