A wooden boat, and all this cloth. Fire is such a danger. It would be a great pity to see it all go up in smoke

Success

Playing with fire

The Ragman goes rigid at the mention of flame. Perspiring and stiff-jawed, he hands you a wooden box. "This should cover the insurance." He poles out to the faster current at the middle of the river and is away.


Failure

Floundering

The Ragman rings a tiny bell. Before you can utter another word, some unseen bruiser has a bag over your head. Next thing you know you're in the water, struggling with the ropes that tie your hands.
