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.

•  London changes and recovers, bit by tiny bit. (Lowers London's Ruin by 10)
•  You've gained 45 x Nodule of Warm Amber
•  An occurrence! Your 'Experienced Sinews in the Streets' Quality is now 1! (hidden)

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.

•  London changes; London suffers. (Raises London's Ruin by ?)
•  An occurrence! Your 'Experienced Sinews in the Streets' Quality is now 1! (hidden)
