Isn't it obvious? He was practising being a monkey by climbing on some pipes just above some river krusts and his spanner fell out of his pocket into the waterway, up that water wheel outside the mill, which was accelerated by an unrelated malfunction so the spanner went flying back up the waterway and into a hagfish's mouth in the comical style where the skin the other side deforms into the shape of whatever went in to it. That particular hagfish happened to be engaged in a spirited game of chase the horntoad, a Dunwall aquatic classic, and didn't want to lose, so it kept swimming after the horntoad, which went too near to some river krusts. It so happened that these particular river krusts had a generation-long blood fued with this horntoad's family, so they immediately opened fire. They missed the horntoad, but one of the shots hit right below the hagfish, launching it out of the water. The hagfish grabbed on to the first thing it saw, which just so happened to be the mechanic's shoe. The mechanic had tough shoes on, having learnt his lesson with the rats last time he was done there, so he felt the weight but no pain. He kicked his foot around, trying to shake the fish loose. A bang attracted the attention of Eumond, the friendly hermit, who, upon stopping to look ahead of him at the sound, saw the river krusts and ran away, tripping over a coil of wire, which went rolling backwards and entered the river with a plop, the hole in the centre of the wire perfectly hooking over the horntoad's horn. This was viewed by the hagfish, who realised that such a game would be a great idea, so it let go of the mechanic's shoe and rejoin its friend, but not before the mechanic could grab the spanner from its mouth. In a completely unrelated incident, the mechanic dropped his spanner down a ledge onto a bunch of river krusts, who ate the spanner in revenge.
