Success

Close and clot

You reach down to grasp the nearest sinew, still amber-slick beneath your hands. It's wound tight, but with encouragement, it shortens. The earth creaks; [...]

Ligaments haul. The gap closes. Commingled fat and amber ooze up from the crack.


Failure

Mind it

[...] You reach to take hold of the nearest sinew, but as your hand brushes it, it snaps. [...] The earth yawns, and the ground beneath your feet begins to crumble.

You scrabble backwards, away from the aching gap. You should find another way.
