Halk and 95% of our champions wedged themselves in the gate way, attempting to keep all the weight off the floor, and Chani backed up.
Sure enough, a click, a grinding of cogs, and the weighty portcullis started to creak it's way up the runners. When it reached the top, Halk jumped down, pushed his bony fists into each door runner, and shouted "Go!".
Chani sprinted forward and the portcullis came down. Unfortunately Halk's reasoning was wrong, and his head was higher up than his fists, and a bottom spike of the door crashed through his boney skull. "Come on Chani!", he continued, while scraping clean the back of his teeth with the enormous toothpick cum portcullis.
Now escape with both Chani and the party to 28.
