Success

Fateful currents

[...] The Stolen River is glutted with arms, claws, teeming elbows, popping joints. [...]

The Youthful Naturalist is [...] counting something on his fingers – long fingers, boneless, tipped with barbs. [...]

You wrestle the wheel [...] as stalactites crack and topple.


Failure

Even more blood in the water

[...] Every vessel [...] is crowded into the Stolen River, pushed by the currents – and the hands under the surface. [...] The Unterzee itself seems to roll back, gathering into a towering wave before crashing into London. Claws glitter like foam along the crest.
