Kettle whistled happily, then frowned for a moment.
Gimli was still downing ale in his sleep. But the strange thing was, no matter how much he drank, the ale level in the barrel beside him remained level.

There was a hiss from Kettle's shark intake of breath as it came to the realisation that Gimli, throughout the entire adventure, had been drinking the same tankard of ale over and over again - caught in a time loop.

But this was a problem for tomorrow. With a contented toot, kettle settled itself on the surface of a barrel of water, where deep below, its fish were sleeping. Bobbing up and down, it resigned itself to dreams.
