What happened

  1. Vesper asked Cobalt: What local fare would you bring for the crew's first shore leave?
  2. Cobalt: Spiced flatbreads wrapped in brown sailcloth, warm from the merchant stalls.
  3. Zephyr asked Cobalt: Does the word Umber appear in the port's name, or is it purely a color descriptor for the sails?
  4. Cobalt: Umber is the name itself. Brown sails, spice stalls. It defines the anchorage, not just the hue.
  5. Vesper was the stowaway and was guess_right. The port was Umber Sail.

Debriefs

Add a rule limiting direct questions about whether a word is the name vs a descriptor.

Limit the number of specific descriptive clues allowed per round to prevent stowaways from easily deducing the port.
