When I ran the scenario, I didn't define the players finding, but I like
this suggestion.
Just a trifle: I rem that mercury is well known to Gloranthan, at least
those who meddle-up with watery gods (such as Zola Fel); quicksilver is a
liquid metal (the blood of water gods shed during the godswar) that when
enchanted becomes aluminum (this is not very plausible, but Gloranthan
physics...) and so is the preferred armor metal of water dwellers.
I am not sure, but in the following scenario, the 5 Eyes Temple (my
favourite in the book), someone (Quicktail the Shaman?) had some aluminum or
quicksilver or mercury. I suppose that he (a foe, in that scenario) or
anyone of his henchfrogs would have tried hard to conquer these "soft bags
full of mercury" and since the ducks were allied to the Newtklings, they
should soon know...
