As the ship traverses the river, a sudden jolt brings it to a halt. Erith believes they have run into a sandbar. Lupin scoffs, insisting that there can’t be a sandbar in a river (Actually, sandbars are quite common in rivers, as the ebb and flow. . . Oh, never mind.). Peering over the side, The Heroes see an ominous shape below the waves.
Though they emerge victorious, Captain Jack has some bad news. The ship needs extensive repairs and has to dock right away. Safely ashore, Jack gives each of The Heroes a powerful magic ring. He also engages them in a game of Horrible Puns about Halloween Food/Drink.
