Falls overboard and into the water as they enter the watery tunnels within the sea cave as a carrion newt ambushes them.

Carrion newt! Looking over the boat’s edge for Thorbjorn, Ormr and Arn both fall overboard. Ormr hits his head on the other boat, falling unconscious into the water. The newt clamps down onto Arn and tries to pull him under.

However, Arn pulls himself up on the boat, grabs his bow, and barrages the carrion newt with arrows killing it, but not before it kills Thorbjorn who it had in its grasp under the water. Arn fishes Ormr out of the water and combat is over.

Arn and Ormr find the main cavern where the raider ship is moored. Fortunately no raiders were present.
