And thank you so much to everyone who's already supporting the show. We couldn't do it without you. We definitely couldn't. All right. Should we play some D&D? Let's do it. Booyah. I'm definitely one of those people who selfishly kind of enjoys their birthday. Not even really that I like lavish in the affection or whatever,

but I just kind of like walking around all day, like knowing secretly that it's my special day. Yeah. Like even if you just like get on the bus or whatever and you're like, no one knows it, it's my birthday. Slashing tires as you walk by people. You and 80 million people, right?

Yeah, for sure. Alex Guthrie, I know your birthday is even closer to Christmas, but I find, like, in the past, sometimes people have conflated, like, birthday gifts and Christmas gifts, you know? Did you ever have someone give you, like, a combined birthday Christmas? All the time. Presence, really? Is your birthday?

It's the 22nd of December. Well, he's not going to docks himself. Oh, yeah, you're getting it. That's a, that's a rough one. Yeah. His birthday is on Christmas Day. Oh, no. And then on other cousins, two days after Christmas.

You need double presents. I remember one year for my birthday I got an easy bake oven which had been on my Christmas You made an easy bake light bulb I mean an easy bake oven Well that's what I was going to say Like I thought this was going to be the fucking gift

I was so jazzed about this easy bake oven I saw commercials for it I feel like everyone was going to get one Get ready for undercooked dough Marketing It comes with a little plastic hand That you're supposed to insert Did you have one of these Alex?

I didn't not i remember my friends her her brothers had um creepy crawlers fuck yeah we have that yeah yeah no yeah you're like well hold on when we get to that conversation i've i've already got the creepy crawlers picture showed up because i just wanted to bask in the nostalgia of these dumb like critters and the and the weird goo i'm gonna need the reminder make your own thing i like how for girls they were like ladies why don't you bake a cake and for boys they were like boys here's some toxic goo would you not even they Or like, eat some fucking bugs, boys.

Eat some fucking spiders. Well, there was another one. It was like a lab or something. I remember you had like, you had to pour this powder. But it turned into candy. It was all candy. But like, it was some, it wasn't creepy crawlers. But it was like some laboratory.

It had all different things. I'm going to Google it. Dr. Dreadful Food Lab. That's it. Dr. Dreadful Food Lab. No Googling required. Oh, it was so cool. I remember that was one of my big one.

If it was creepy, and if it was delicious, that was my wheelhouse. Lightly edible. Yeah. I mean, they're all edible. I mean, everything is edible if you try hard. The thing with this easy bake oven, though, I think is they, I don't know who the fuck designed it, but they did a bad, bad job.

They did a big bad job about the design. So trying to reach into this oven to retrieve your hot pan, your tiny pan full of tiny cake. It was hot, okay? And the reacher that they gave you, they gave you a little tool. was this kind of plastic C shape on a stick. And you were supposed to somehow slide that in and grab the sides of this searing hot small pan

with this plastic hook and retrieve it. And it was so, it was such an ordeal that, like, you couldn't do it if you were eight years old without burning yourself for sure. Well, that's why the box said 11 and up. Well, I don't know how old you're supposed to have been. It's just teaching you that life is suffering. Sort of missed a brief on easy.

Well, it's easy. Just called it bake oven. Bake light bulb. And you got like four shots at it before you were out of the mix, right? So you would have had to go back to the store to buy more. I don't know if my parents thought that it was like a subscription service or, but there was never any further bits of cake. I mean, all the things you're saying make it sound like it was a wildly successful toy

because you had to put more money into it to make it work more. I'm sure. It's the original micro-transaction. I am having the weirdest sense. memory of a cake from an easy bake oven. Like, I can taste, I can taste it right now. I'm sure you had half of one. I know there was one in my house.

You're eating one right now. Sorry, it's just my D&D Easy Bake Oven. I just have it right beside here. Wow. Now, that's what we need to market. Exactly. Makes sense, though. The mimic.

The mimic, yes. You could 3D print yourself a good easy bake oven. I mean, an easy bake oven is literally just a lamp with a high wattage lightball. Yeah. But these little. cakes. I'm having regrets that I didn't have Mari learn heat metal because it could have worked really well.

Oh my God. She's just making little cakes. You just get some plate mail, like two breast plates. Yeah. You know, and you got a little oven there. Yeah. With a person inside. But I had such high aspirations for this little fucking cake that I was going to make. I was going to be like the bakestress of the

neighborhood and it just never came to fruition. So I wanted to ask everybody going into our episode tonight what is something that you were really excited about the prospect of? Oh. And then ultimately kind of fell flat in execution. Oh, man. So many things in life.

I have a good answer for that. I think Godfrey boys are on it. They're like, go disappointments? I got so. Because Guntherick boys are notoriously disappointed. Just unsatisfied with life. They're like, how much time you got? Where do I start?

For real. Top of mind. No, but I can think of one because it's, it's poignant because it's, it's, It's sort of in theme, but I remember, it wasn't that long ago, five years ago, D&D, Wizards of the Coast teamed up with, I can't remember the company, but they made a, they made many video games, but they made one called Sword Coast Legends. And I remember myself and Chris and Justin, it was sort of like a top down. It was going to be the one that kind of let you play D&D. Don't get me wrong, there's been stronger polls and there have been more recent polls, both of which you have let me down. but this one feels the most on topic

because I remember we were kind of like oh man this is going to be so cool this is the character I'm going to play here's what I'm going to do and it fucking sucks it was so boring it was so dull and actually just to piggyback off that

because it's kind of a short story but I also remember when Diablo 3 launched we also did the same thing Chris and Justin and myself we all got together to do a land party but this was like at the dawn of online services and like it we knew

it, like, dropped at 9 p.m. or whatever, 9 a.m. We all logged in, and it was like, servers are full. And we literally didn't get to play until, like, three that afternoon. I think Chris was like, yeah, I got to go to work now. And it was like, actually, I think he called and worked sick that night because Justin and I didn't have to. We were like, no, we have the whole day. And Chris was like, well, I'm not going to waste my whole day

and then work tonight when you guys are playing. So those are two pretty big disappointments. Although I did like Diablo three as a game. Alex Guthrie, you had one quick. No, I didn't. I was just joking around. I can't actually think of anything. You were like, chapter one, birth.

I thought this whole thing was going to be a lot more fun. I mean, in general, there's been so many movies, I think, over time that are like, ugh. Yeah. You know. Yeah, Wing Commander. I don't even remember it, but yeah, I'll say, yeah, that's definitely one. I think, I think, you know, any of the, no, I'm not even going to get into it.

No. Say it. I didn't say the Marvel movies, but like, I don't know. We know your feelings for superhero movies. Yeah, but I wouldn't say you're disappointed. Like, that would give the impression that I was really looking forward to it. Exactly, which you're not. I don't, I think you're just kind of like.

It has to be something you were pumped about. And then ultimately you were like, ah, this kind of stuff. I know there's definitely been some things in my life so far that I was like, wow, that was a disappointment. I'll think of one for you because I know there's. You know. I do have, actually. It's sort of funny. So I remember when I was living at my parents' house for a while.

When you were a baby? No, no, after like college years. And then I moved back home between living on my own to save up money to buy or rent. I can't remember. Anyways, I had met Karma at the time. And I just know we were living, I was living at home because we had our anniversary dinner. We had an anniversary dinner that we made there. and we made like these like lamb kebabs, rice,

and maybe just lamb kebabs and rice. And I remember it being like we did all this prep and it looked amazing, right? Like it just looked like something you'd get from like a... From a real professional. Yeah, Middle Eastern restaurants. And the kebabs were like hard and dry. Oh no.

Right. So it was just like crunchy and dry. But it looked marvelous. We had these nice pictures of it, and it's like, it's the worst disappointment ever. Happy anniversary. It's still terrible. It hasn't really hit that what you're going for, but. I mean, I definitely did a similar thing on an anniversary once.

I was making a lovely, like, pasta agliolio or whatever, and I was so, like, worried about, okay, I want to get this out of the pot, and I want to get it plated nice. And I got the big fork, because I'm going to do it like the guy in that movie and do the thing. And I had to go get the fork special. And then I left the pot on. we went to get dinner and I came back and there was like the there was a plastic spoon in there but that was melted into the pot it was just and it was like when it started to burn after it had entirely melted in it was like oh that's that's what this is going on in the house

right now so it was like oh shit not even like just burnt food but well the food ended up out and okay it was just that moment of like oh I got to interrupt the middle of this lovely meal on our anniversary to go put out this fire I started because I was so busy plating the thing I forgot to turn off the heat. Yeah. Peace out, everyone. But that's fun and sexy, like danger and, you know, excitement. Yeah, Rob is dangerous.

There you are. Leaves plastic cutlery on the stove. It's a spicy time here. Wow. Did you have to get out like a fire extinguisher and everything? No, it wasn't quite flames bad. It was just like a puddle of black plastic ooze in the bottom of the pot. I think that pot was gone.

Distressing. Yeah. Fair, fair. Yeah. I know. I know my first, my immediate. reaction was I remember how much I was excited to see the movie drive

because I love like action movies and I love car movies and like fast cars and things like that when I was in my teen years and me and my dad spent like a solid year trying to find like the best car chase movie. Yeah. It's bullet by the way.

I'm like the only person who has seen the original gone in 60 seconds like multiple times and had a custom shirt with it and that show that movie is literally just 45 minutes of nothing and then 45 minutes of a car chase. That's it. Yeah, yeah. But the remake was

great. I like the remake personally. The remake is nuts. But drive, I heard being like, ooh, drive, yeah, like a serious one. And then I went and I thought, I hated it. I hated it so much. I just was like, this movie was like, I was like, the thing

that drove me crazy was I was like, I feel like they mistook atmosphere for plot. And I was like, oh, there's like a good, this feels like, very dark and gritty and I was like yes but nothing's happening like please sir a crumb of plot

and like I just drive us a fantastic movie I totally disagree it's so good I liked it I know I was watching around the room I'm looking around the room and I'm like I'm like someone's gonna fight me on this and it's probably gonna be hurling no I'm not gonna fight you on it look I think I here's the thing though

I totally get where you're coming from like it absolutely is very dry and it's funny Because, like, Joe and I watched a movie last night called Nomad Land, which won Best Picture last year. And we both finished it being like, I totally get why this movie won, but we don't like it. And, like, that to me is, like, the takeaway. It's like, I don't like this movie at all, but I think the performances were great. I think what it did, it did wonderfully, but I did not enjoy watching this movie at all.

Yeah, like, and I think that can be a thing. Like, I think it can totally be fair that say, especially with expectation, because I totally get. where you coming from, especially drive, I think it was marketed very poorly. Yes, yeah, yeah. That was the big thing was that it was played up as this like, it's the action movie for smart people or something. And then I was like, no, it's not.

I was like, if you just told me what it was, I would have had like a much different experience. And also, like totally let down. It's like a hyper violent visual weird 80s. With a great silk jacket. The jacket's very good. I, I'm just, I feel like with my media stuff, like I, uh, I just can't, I go full lizard brain.

sometimes and I'm like, I just, everything, everything else is just such a bummer. I just want to like watch something that makes me, makes me go like, yeah. And then I just end up watching like Mission Impossible 2 again. If I can find an ounce of connection, I will, I will ignore a lot of sins in a piece of media. If I can like find one bit like, oh, but this music kind of slaps and I can get into this. Or like just one thing in. Well, it's funny because when we were watching Nomad Land the other night. At the end of it, we were saying, it's like, you know, it would have made this movie, like, infinitely better if it had, like, a playlist associated with it, because it's kind of a road movie, you know? And I was like, man, if they just took, like, a Kink's album

and, like, decided to, that would theme this movie, it would have had so much more, because the movies just kind of got nothing really in it. But I'm totally with you. And I think a lot of this comes down to, frankly, it comes down to expectation, you know, and it's no different when you're playing D&D where it's like if you sit down and you're playing a game you're like hey guys tonight it's going to be light it's going to be fun

it's going to be fast it's going to be furious we're just going to have a good time everyone enjoys themselves and I think it comes down to that when I'm sitting down a movie and I don't want to be spoiled but if I kind of know what I'm in for

tonally I think I'm going to be so much more on board and a lot of these marketing they try to trick you and I think that's where a lot of these movies go wrong because they're like oh you're going to love this and then you see it

and it's nothing fucking like that And that's why the easy bake oven fell fucking flat. I thought I was going to have enough dessert to feed my family. And instead I had one sad, tiny chocolate cake that I had to split four ways. And that's not fair. I totally agree. You don't share a cupcake. And the expectation for dice shame is good role playing, good friends, a lot of lengthy intro.

So much intro for five foot of movement in this door. Mediocre act. Yeah. Should we play some D&D guys? Yeah, let's play some D&D. Yeah. Woo! Inside the Dritis Manor, with a wave of static, the magic effects fade all around you.

The prestigious midwinter celebration loses some of its glamour. Music stops playing. Doran's disguise melts away. The noble partygoers hush and draw closer to each other, murmuring as heavy footsteps, Herald intruders, and the doors to the dining room burst open to reveal mis-shapeen humanoids, creatures soaked with ooze and bristling with intensity. What the what? I don't like the look of this.

Not good. Not good at all. Everyone sit on the floor. Get on the floor now. Red turns to Maori, who's standing next to him and says, All right, Maori, let's take these bat. And he goes to reach for his bow and realizes it's not there. Uh-oh.

I forgot I don't have my bow Mari goes immediately to try to cast entangle and Mari normally when you cast entangle there's like some components that you gesticulate or you speak magic words Yeah she reaches down and normally

when she starts to cast she can feel this sort of warmth like you're reaching into this kind of endless unseeable river of light and stars and glitter and normally she can feel that warmth and instead she reaches down and she feels nothing. Mari, bless them!

No, I can't. There is nothing. There is nothing. I can't feel anything. Oh, don't get a nihilistic on me. No, no. I can't do any magic. I can't do any magic right now.

And two of these creatures that are near to you, you've attracted their attention with this conversation, you're like two of the only people that are speaking out loud in the room apart from these intruders. No. They turn towards you, Mari, and they go, Keep her quiet. Quiet. And one of them, like, reaches into himself and grabs this, like, gaub of ooze and just, like, hurls it at you. Ah!

Can Red Dodge out of the way? Yeah, she's going to dive out of the way right now. Yeah, make a dexterity check. Oh, no. Don't make me do dex checks. We're playing D&D. I roll 12. Mari, you narrowly duck out of the way, and this gob of something just, like, smash

against the plaster bust that was standing atop of this like column and it cracks into a million pieces and falls onto the floor and then shit oh jacks another yeah it was definitely more than a hundred years old

red dives out of the way and rolls under a table and like starts pulling at people get to cover or something they're throwing pieces of themselves yeah yeah a couple of nobles like crouched down there underneath with you. She dives behind a chair and a table. I feel like everything's just like knocked over

and scattered in the room. Does anyone have a bow? It's just saying because people were passing by. The melting guys, she already saw Remy and saw what was happening to his skin. Yeah. And I feel like her immediate thought is that this is what he would have become.

Does anyone have a bow? We're a jack. Where's Doran? I don't know word. And I look around for Doran. Doran pipes up and he, yells, no, but you've got my axe. These creatures are intimidating guests.

They're actually corraling groups of guests and forcing them through the doors into other rooms. So they're like slowly winnowing down the numbers of people in this room. And they're screaming at you. They're trying to keep everyone under control. They're making sure everyone's sitting down. And it's quickly becoming a very dangerous situation. And Doran doesn't really hesitate. He's reaching for his axe off his back,

which he was able to sneak in through his disguise. Right before Doran can reach for his act, Jack, reach out and says, Doran, let's work our way that way along the table. Let's see if we can, I think that guy dropped an illusion too. It might be Cabin. And Doran kind of leaves his axe on his back. He doesn't retrieve it. It's not so obvious.

Quick, they're looking at Mari. We got to go before they turn their attention on us. Yeah. And he kind of gives Jack a knowing glance. and, like, points with his fingers. Whoa, whoa, with his fingers? Yeah. From glances to full out fingers.

Situation's serious. I know. Point with your beard, you coward. Well, you could point with your chin, your nose. I mean, we've used knowing glances every other time, but now fingers. Jack knows the shit's in the fan because he's pointing. It's a little bit too tense to get a glance out. It proves the knowing glances are magical.

It's the knowing glance and the point. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's true. They don't work. They're not magic. The magic of the moment between us. is gone.

Wait a minute. You don't understand my head nod? So maybe Red sees this exchange realizing that you two maybe have spotted Kavan

and he causes a distraction and Red kind of pops out and he's like hey you big gluteous dripping, melting people. Red,

what are you doing? You think you know what's up? And he picks up like a train, he just throws it against the wall and he does like

the Michael Keaton thing where he's just like you ought to be crazy I'll be crazy and he starts banging something One of these, like, gloopy dudes goes over to you, Red, and he grabs you by the throat. And he lifts you up and slams you against the wall. Oh, my God.

And he screams in your face. Wow. Enough frivolity. Your breath is awful. Cabins are thundrick. Where is he? I'll tell you exactly where he. Mari runs over.

She grabs a salt cellar off a table, and she runs over and just a, you know, because these guys look like slugs and she runs over and she just dumps it in the guy's face. And then she sort of pauses for a minute because all the other guys have made puns and she's not very good at them. And she just goes, hope you like being assaulted? Good one. Meanwhile, Red's like waving Doren between the legs of this thing, Doren and Jack, over like taking advantage of the opportunity. Jack's crouched behind the far side of the table from most of these sluggy monsters and is sort of crouch crawling behind the the chairs to get back to where he can spot the guy that looks like Cabin's

Thundrick, you know, glancing back to make sure Doran's following with him. Doran's not following, but he's going to the same person and he's just taking a different route. You see Doran kind of get on his hands and knees and he crawls. Hedging the bets. Two separate scooters. You see a woman who's cowering beside where cabin is, and she's like looking him up and down. Oh, no. And her eyes are getting wide.

Do I recognize her? Yeah, this is Flora from House Offrey. Flora! Flora! You can see her getting all upset. She recognizes who this is now, sitting beside her, and then this must be the guy that they're looking for. Flora, they won't let you go. Don't say anything.

Her face is getting really... They won't let you go. He's here. He's right here. There's a door behind him. Dora, let's go. Grab cabin by the arms, one in each hand, and, like, bolt out the back. Yeah, and as they turn away from Red, Red kicks the guy in what might be as nuts.

And Mari just balks him over the head with the remains of the salt cellar. Yeah, I don't think the salt is doing anything. No, I don't think so, but I was hoping it would work. Take this. So you guys pick up cabin basically by both of his elbows and you drag him through the door. I think it's more, it's more Doran. Doran's doing more of the lifting, that's true. But Jack is definitely trying to steer.

And Doran being near his ear, he just says, just trust us and come this way don't fight come on they're looking for you we're here to help we're here to save you oh and you can see he's so comforted and appreciates your heroism this musty dwarf

from our perspective do we see anyone trying to follow them through that door yeah you do red slides down between this guy's legs and I want to try to bolt across towards that door to cut off the people that are heading there oh okay so red you do this

heroic like knee slide I don't even think I get there before another person. I think I tackle them as they're about to go through the door. And I like push them into a cabinet of china, just full out, and like all this china comes falling down over the people as they run out of the way. One plate hits the woman who screamed out right in the face, and I'm like, Marie, stop that one! She runs over and she takes the long edge of her sleeve, and as this purse is running by, she just wraps it over his neck and yanks him back. Oh, yeah. You hear a sickening crack as his neck snaps underneath your beautiful scound.

The most visceral. That's okay, Mari. He definitely, he definitely choked me and threw me against the wall against my desires. Oh, my God. I did not expect that to happen. He did not ask for permission for that. Yeah, it just... All right, Iglies.

You want to get through that door? You're going to have to go through us. You're going to have to go through at the very least him. Yeah. You hear Red, try to give you guys some time to... to make your escape, but you know there's just seconds. There's a door behind you. Just to your right, there's a staircase that leads upstairs,

and then ahead of you and to your right, there's a games room. But from what you know of the manner, there's no way out here. Up. Up. Okay. There's something stopping the magic we're using here, but it's probably got a range. Most of these things can't extend forever.

If we can find the edge of it, I can get us out. Good point, good point. If we go far enough up, if we go far enough away from, the center of this. Maybe we can we can get out. Let's go upstairs. As you crest the top of the staircase, Doran, your experienced eyes know to check corners all the time. Yes. You see that there are two groups of party goers up here at the top of their stairs, one on the left side, one on the right side. Both are being corralled already by these guards telling them to shut up, be quiet, stay where you are and saying if you try to hide cabins with Thundrick from us, we will kill you.

They're definitely looking for you. I say as I crest the top of stairs and I peer through the banister. They're going to be coming up these stairs any second. I guarantee it. There's a door to your left and to your right. I think we should go through one of these doors. Is there a dumbwaiter in this building? Would you call me? In here, go. And it sort of pushes cabin through one door. The door is mercifully unlocked. And as you enter, you find yourself in a small bedroom that is currently unoccupied. Back down in the dining room. Look, we can just talk about this, Seth.

We don't need any trouble here. Everything's fine. Listen, you better sit down right now or you're going to be pulp. Red just shares a knowing look with you and eyes the door behind them to the left. And he's like, all right. Got us. No worries. I'm going to take this chair at this table next to this. Yeah! And he flips a turkey at them. And he runs towards the door. Come on, Mary! And he like stands kind of like stopping them as you head through the door first. Yeah, she goes running, but she tries to shove that ice

sculpture to try to block them. Nice. A big, tacky ice sculpture. She hates it. It's like very big. And I'm like, all right, Mary. I guess that saves like five seconds. I think it took like four or six people to carry it in. Well, it doesn't move. So she just, she just breaks off like a finger or something. Why did she bother pushing that over? It didn't slow us at all. So Mari, you try to put your back to the ice sculpture.

It doesn't move. Red is standing at the door. She just turns around and just goes, ugh. And then just keeps running. She was really hoping for a cool moment. I know, it's tacky. To the library. Cabin's a thundering.

is in the front hall. Get him quick. And he follows you into the library, barreling forward. Excellent. Where to now? I think they went upstairs. There's no other way. Where else you go? Look, they're going to be following them. We need to cut them off or at least lead them on a wild goose chase somewhere else. Oh, yeah. So there are a couple exits to the library. You guys were in here before, so you would know that there's a staircase on the north side of the library that leads you up. And there's like a whole balcony area of the library that's on the second floor. There's actually an exit from there out to other rooms in the second door.

Is that same boring guy who is here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's totally here. Listen, tax man, you need to get out of here. There's a bunch of melty people trying to find caverns that send, Cavans, fuck, I can't say that name. Stop saying the name because they're just going to hear you saying it, and they're going to keep following us.

We want them to follow us. We're the decoy, Mary. They're starting to, like, batter down the door. Yeah, and I'm holding it shut. Your back is like. All right, look, there's an office over there. Let's get in there and climb out through a window and try to get to the garden. Mari sort of looks at that guy and she just gives them big eyes.

She goes, can you please just distract them if they come through? What should I do? Tell them about your tax law and bore them to death. Yes. I will try my best. Tell them you saw people go out any other door, any other window, but not where we go. Oh, that's good. Do that.

All right, I'll do that. Make something of your life. He goes and he takes the door from you red and he puts his back up and he says, Oh, I'll slow them down. Oh, wow. That's so heroic of you. You're a lot more interesting when you're not talking about your life. Yeah, we shouldn't have pooped in your shoes.

Till next time, friend, whatever your name was. Good luck, buddy. Back to Doran and Jack. So what do these guys want you for anyways, Cabin? I don't know. I can tell you what I know, which is there's been at least a half dozen people who look kind of like you, kidnapped by some monster and dragged into the sewers. So think on it.

Doran, is there any other way out of this room? Uh, it looks like a door over there. Doran's peering through the keyhole of the, of the door that we just came through. It looks like there's another door over there, but I'm wondering if you went out here, nobody knows or would think otherwise, if you walked out there and said that you saw cabin here, if you saw him run out to the front or, you know, again, he gave them some sort of distraction, you could say something like, hey, everybody, they're looking for cabins eccentric, and he just ran out the front door.

And you never know. I'm not a very good liar. And I'm the one who can teleport a mile away as soon as we find the edge of this thing to get the guy out of here. True. So I kind of want to stick with him. Let's try that door then.

You hold, put your back against this door. Yeah. And Doran moves over to the other end of the room. So Doran, you move over to this door that looks out into the dark, You can see there's like a little window installed and this is kind of a door that would lead out to kind of like a second story patio. Oh, a balcony area. And as you look out into the night, Jack, the door opens behind you as you have your back to it. It just pushes, just pushes in and there are like four of these goo dudes.

It's a pole door. He didn't realize. It just doesn't know. Oh, no. Yeah, they push their way into the room behind Jack. Go. Doren throws the door open. Not a lot of options left. Go. It's locked.

Oh. The door is locked. You try the lever and it's not going. And these gud dudes are like, Cabin Zathundrick. He went that way. Jack, not a good liar. I'm going to try and chop the handle off the door. Yeah, go for it.

Like they would do with the gun, but with an assort. definitely like chop like you chop with an axe yeah yeah yeah yeah i mean you can do it for sure yeah but it takes you a few swings and during that time one of them is like you know how they like punch their fists like saying i'm going to punch you in the face they do that to you jack and they're like intimidating you i mean i i would take a punch to keep cabin behind me so as dorin is frantically chopping at this door to gain a new means of eagre Jack, you take a big, like, slug to the face, and you're thrown back on the floor. Yeah, basically.

Hey, gabagoo. Two of the intruders grab cabin by the arms and drag him out of the room. Cabin's wriggling in protest trying to break free, but he can't.
