No-one really wants to eat the pie, because everyoe assumes they will either end up exploding, turning green ,or worse just find out they are eating raw frog pie.
Having your food ribbit at you was also a possibility.
"Oh for goodness sake!" says Gothmog, getting a little annoyed that everyone is forgetting his thirst and pansying around. "I'll cook it for you muppets then!"
Gothmog flings a fireball from nowhere, and the pie explodes without any strange noises. In fact, the smell was quite pleasant.
Now the fight is for everyone, suddenly hungry, wishing to eat the pie. In the melee that ensues, the pie is ripped apart totally, the bottle is smashed totally, and more importantly a Gothmog exerting himself again and without a bottle falls dehydrated to the ground.
Finally, realising that Gothmog has shut up about his thirst, and that the pie is gone, the group shrug their shoulders and move off through the portcullis.
Go to 28 and hope the group remember to pick up Gothmog on the way.
