Old Valentin's Timber Splint (with Fabric Bindings)

A rough-hewn piece of timber sourced from the Demeter's wine cellar clutter that Old Valentin uses to immobilize Abramoff's shattered leg during the agonizing reset procedure. The timber is bound tightly with strips of clean fabric (later stained with sweat and blood), causing splinters to dig into raw flesh as Valentin wrenches the limb straight amid Abramoff's guttural screams. The wood and fabric become stained in the chaotic, fog-choked crew quarters, serving as an improvised splint amid the crew's panic (including Dracula, Agatha Van Helsing, and Olgaren). The fabric strips secure the splint in place, forming a makeshift cast that amplifies the raw terror of Abramoff's injury amid the ship's chaos.
