*Dramatic tension*. The die rolls across the table. A success!
The octopus lifts Barney's limp body onto the stone walkway at the river's shore, before disappearing back to the nether realms from whence it was summoned.
Barnaby bumps into a rotting wooden pier jutting into the river and hauls himself out of the water, followed by Baruch.

9/ Barnaby lays his hands on Barney, causing a layer of barnacles to form on the wound from the beak. Barney coughs fœtid river water from his lungs and splutters back to life. Peeling off the barnacles reveals freshly grown skin beneath. But his torso now bears a scar of studded tentacle marks that will stay as a reminder of his brush with death. And somewhere in the dark waters of the river, Peg Powler still lurks.
