 The struggle with the emerging Hag’s Baby begins. It and Nazaliuma are suspended between worlds, wrestling to be born or to not die. Golbig the shaman soon gets knocked aside by a tendril; rendered unconscious before he can cast new magic and ending his ritual. His ancestor-spirit-newt Sholg faces the Baby in the Spirit World to help distract it. Then the other spirits drawn by the coming of the Baby startpulling people into the Spirit World: your three newtling friends and Fatbutt leave their bodies, and soon Boamund allows himself to go to (from a safe position on shore), while Fraud and Shrett cross the water to the pool where the Baby is breeching. Shrett realises as he approaches the Baby that it is endowed with 12 wicked tendrils and two mockeries of horse-hooved limbs (and a giant eye and sucking, biting mouth), so he keeps clear of it. Soon a spirit draws him into the Spirit Plane but he fights it off and escapes back to his body, ending a dangerous essence-bleed. Bog refuses to enter the water but the spirits surrounding him flail impotently and soon none of them can influence anyone in attendance (they’re limited to the area close to the Baby; they cannot go into the village after newtlings). So Bog ensures that Boamund’s body is safely laid down in order to not fall into the water and drown, and Bog cheers on Nazaliuma. Boamund strikes his spirit a powerful blow of his will, then another that leaves it quickly weakening, and by the battle’s end it is destroyed, so he returns to his body. The struggle with the emerging Hag’s Baby begins.

 Fraud and then Shrett time their move carefully. Fraud hits the Baby with two Darkstrikes, the first of which freezes off a tendril, but the second has marvellous results: it hits the globular body and then spreads forth, freezing off all 12 delicate tendrils! (they  only had 1 HP each so that was easy, with the right spell like this!) Thus it becomes much less dangerous. And so Shrett and Fraud rush the monster as it threatens to rip itself out of Nazalium to her doom. It is all over quickly. Shrett cripples a hoofed leg with a skilful blow, then Fraud slashes it twice with incredible sword-wounds; the first sorely wounds it and it is helpless, then the second carves a huge slash in it and the waters stain with its cancerous black ichor. In response, burbling and screaming on Boatspeech (it was calling to Mother in vain), it tears itself free of Nazaliuma too soon. She suffers some spiritual wounding but far less than it could have been. It, however, rips itself in half and dies! Fraud and then Shrett time their move carefully.
