Cinders at the Carousel End
≈ 4 min
The Saltmere Craft Collective leases the arcade's seaward workshop room each off-season for pottery classes and kiln firings. On the night of Friday 31 July 2026, the collective's electric kiln was sabotaged while a batch of members' work was mid-firing. Your task is to profile the offender's behaviour — how they operated, who they brought with them, their relationship to the collective, and whether they planned the act or acted on impulse. You are not asked to name an individual.
