Ardwynn is deep into discussions with Clotha about wrapping the crystal 'staff' with some cloth and leather.
"If the moon is a danger, we need to make certain it is fully bundled up before sundown. I thinkBarnis carrying spare clothing. ( party inventory )... perhaps we can wrap it up and then pull some rope apart to make twine to wrap the cloth? What think youClotha?"

Clotha looks up a little startled as Ardwynn speaks directly to her, " Oh.....uh....yes? Yes, I think that would work."
" My fingers are quite nimble.....", she stopped and swallowed hard. " Um.....thats is, I can unbraid the rope while you lot deal with the transport."
She stared at the ground for a full minute before returning to her clothing search.
" If I may, Barn....", she said reaching for his back pack.
Barn absently hands over his pack for Clotha when requested.
Smiling Jack blurts outs when they reach the boats, "that poem spells 'sword' when the last sword in the last line is read. ...swords is s and w is welded and o is over and rd is rising doom.
And the beginning spells 'find'. That is about as much as I came up with. The middle was real confusing. Not sure if it means anything?"
"Wait, d-did you hear what I just s-said?" the big man looks puzzled and crestfallen that no one acknowledged that he had used his friend's great idea to actually figure the rest of it out (for once - not a common occurrence for Barn!). "It's like you said, Jack, you figured out the trick! B-but it actually w-works for the whole poem! Including the m-middle. Not just 'find' and 'sword', taking the first letter of every w-word..."
Barn focuses very hard on NOT stuttering this time.
"Taking the first letter... of every word in Fabian's poem... you get:find my tower then the eye mouth hand sword"

Jack nods at the other Jack. Maybe he's on to something, clever guy.

Jack hands Clotha the rope we used to get into and out of the well.
Then steps back sheepishly.
